Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 491: Day of the Final Battle

"This..."

The dreamlike scene before them left the hundreds of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples in attendance utterly shaken, making them feel as if it were surreal.

Tian Hong had fallen beneath his own famed technique, the Primordial Magnetic Grinding Disc, which was a cruel irony.

What astonished them most was that Wang Ruoxie emerged unscathed from Tian Hong’s Primordial Magnetic Grinding Disc, and somehow managed to master this Divine Technique himself.

In fact, Wang Ruoxie’s Primordial Magnetic Grinding Disc was even more powerful than Tian Hong’s, effortlessly eliminating the latter.

Everyone knew that from this day on, Wang Ruoxie’s name would surely spread throughout the Inner Sect of the Profound Lady Sect, not just among Inner Sect Disciples, but also reaching the realms of Core Disciples and even True Disciples.

After all, even among the Core Disciples and True Disciples, not everyone possessed the formidable strength of Wang Ruoxie.

A month passed swiftly.

During this month of Cultivation, Wang Ruoxie’s cultivation had not yet broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, but his control over the Primordial Magnetic Power had significantly improved.

Most importantly, through the tempering of the Primordial Magnetic Power, his physical body had been greatly strengthened to the point where even an ordinary Martial Venerable Realm might not compare to him.

At this moment, countless disciples of the Profound Lady Sect had already gathered at the summit of Celestial Sword Peak, on the vast plaza outside Wang Ruoxie’s palace.

A month ago, right here, in front of hundreds of thousands of Inner Sect Disciples, Wang Ruoxie had exterminated the so-called Five Extremes.

This caused his name to once again stir a sensation throughout the Inner Sect, attracting attention not only from Inner Sect Disciples but also from many Core Disciples and True Disciples.

Especially after the news spread of Wang Ruoxie’s impending life-and-death battle with Saint Child Xu Yi, it caused a massive uproar throughout the entire Inner Sect.

Even the exalted Saint Heirs and Saintesses, upon hearing this news, couldn’t help but step down from Heaven-Overturning Peak and came to this otherwise ordinary Celestial Sword Peak.

Clearly, they intended to witness the life-and-death battle between Wang Ruoxie and Xu Yi.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, do you really intend to have a life-and-death duel with that Xu Yi?"

Within Wang Ruoxie’s palace, Xueyao asked with a rather grave expression.

"Yes, since I’ve accepted, I naturally cannot go back on my word."

Wang Ruoxie nodded with a smile, replying.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, how confident are you in defeating that guy?"

Xueyao continued to inquire.

"If I said I had complete certainty, would you believe me?"

Wang Ruoxie chuckled lightly and asked in return.

"I believe you."

Upon hearing this, Xueyao didn’t hesitate for a moment and nodded directly.

Although she couldn’t quite understand the source of Wang Ruoxie’s confidence, she believed in him unconditionally.

"If that’s the case, then let’s go out."

Wang Ruoxie said with a smile.

Although his cultivation was far inferior to Xu Yi’s, his true strength was not the slightest bit weaker, and might even be stronger.

No matter what, this battle he must not lose, nor could he afford to lose, as it was a critical step towards standing atop the Profound Lady Sect.

With that, Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao left the palace.

"So many people."

As soon as they stepped out the palace door, Wang Ruoxie couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. He saw that the vast plaza before the palace was almost entirely crowded with people, a sea of heads numbering in the millions, and more were still arriving.

Though he had anticipated a significant number of spectators on the day of the duel, he hadn’t expected this many people would come.

Of course, the larger the venue, the greater the impact of his defeat over Xu Yi.

"Since the news of your life-and-death duel with Saint Child Xu Yi spread, it has almost shocked the entire Inner Sect. Not only Inner Sect Disciples, but also Core Disciples and True Disciples, as well as many Saint Heirs and Saintesses, all gathered, preparing to watch the battle."

Xueyao said to Wang Ruoxie.

"In that case, let today’s battle become the stage for me to showcase my true aptitude and strength to everyone."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled and spoke.

"Is this guy Wang Ruoxie? A mere Seventh Layer Celestial Emperor Realm dares to have a life-and-death duel with Saint Child Xu Yi, he’s courting death."

"Don’t underestimate him. Although his cultivation is ordinary, his true strength is extraordinary. It’s said that even the Five Extremes were killed by him."

"The so-called Five Extremes can only flaunt among the Inner Sect Disciples; in front of us Core Disciples, they’re nothing more than ants."

After Wang Ruoxie appeared, many Inner Sect and Core Disciples started discussing with eyes filled with intrigue.

"Is he Wang Ruoxie? I heard he recently killed Tianyi."

"That’s right, it’s him. It’s undeniable that this guy isn’t just powerful, he’s also quite audacious, daring to offend the Tian Family."

"No matter how strong he is, without understanding when to advance or retreat and without forbearance, he’ll just be a reckless brute."

Many True Disciples also directed their gaze at Wang Ruoxie, engaging in discussions.

"So he’s the Inner Sect Disciple daring enough to make a life-and-death choice with Xu Yi. I thought he would be something special, but it seems he’s just so-so."

In the crowd, a young man in a golden robe shook his head slightly, commenting.

"Brother Xiahou, no matter how extraordinary he might be, that’s only relative to ordinary disciples. How could he possibly compare to us Saint Heirs and Saintesses?"

A young man in a long robe beside him smiled and said.

"Although Xu Yi was recently promoted to Saint Child, his talent and strength are quite commendable. How could he be compared to a mere Inner Sect Disciple? Today’s battle is probably just a farce."

Another young man in black remarked.

"Senior Brothers, I beg to differ. Although Brother Wang’s cultivation isn’t high, his strength is formidable. Even Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the same rank might not be able to withstand him."

Ying Hongyu smiled at the three and spoke.

"Oh? Does Junior Brother Ying know him well?"

The golden-robed young man turned his gaze to Ying Hongyu and asked.

"Not very well, but we joined the Sect on the same day, and when we climbed the Heaven-Ascending Ladder together, his speed was no slower than mine, perhaps even more effortless."

Ying Hongyu replied with a smile.

"Even so, it doesn’t necessarily mean much. Besides, you’re now a Saint Heir of the Sect, while he’s merely an Inner Sect Disciple. That alone shows he’s far from comparable to you."

The young man in black glanced at Wang Ruoxie nonchalantly and spoke.

"Back then, his aptitude was assessed as Third Tier First Grade on the Profound Heart Jade Disc, but I always felt that wasn’t his true potential."

Ying Hongyu’s gaze fixed on Wang Ruoxie, speaking slowly.

Although his current cultivation and status far exceeded Wang Ruoxie’s, he still had an inkling that the latter’s strength was in no way inferior to his own.
