Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 784 - 778: Awarding Merit_1

BOOM!

The Void roared.

The unparalleled spear Qi descended, shattering all sword Qi, sword shadows, and profound sword techniques into dust.

What? Ning Sui Feng's pupils contracted violently as the spear Qi rushed towards him, an endless aura of death engulfing his entire being.

At the critical moment, a suit of armor materialized around him, dazzling with divine light. It was like a divine tortoise protecting his body, granting him formidable defensive power.

A seventh-level immortal treasure, the Profound Turtle Shell!

It could withstand the full-force attack of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

CLANG!

Sparks flew in all directions.

The Overlord Spear struck the Profound Turtle Shell, emitting a piercing sound, but it could not advance another inch.

However, the powerful impact sent Ning Sui Feng flying. He crashed into the palace wall, his face flushing crimson, his throat working as he nearly choked back a mouthful of blood.

How is this possible? He collapsed to the ground, finding it utterly unacceptable.

He was the Saint Heir of the Carefree Sect, a peak Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artist, yet he had been defeated by Xiang Yu from a Small Thousand World, who was merely at the middle stage of the Taiyi Earth Immortal realm.

Shame! Unwillingness! Humiliation! Negative emotions flooded Ning Sui Feng's heart. His vision turned black, and he fell unconscious.

That's it? This is a so-called prodigy of the Great Thousand World? Xiang Yu sneered with disdain. He strode forward, grabbed Ning Sui Feng by his clothes, and tossed him into the bamboo forest outside the palace like a piece of trash.

Heaven and earth fell silent, and the thousands of prodigies present were struck speechless. All eyes were fixed on Xiang Yu, their expressions tinged with disbelief.

The Saint Heir of the Carefree Sect, defeated in a single round?

"Truly, a great reputation is never unearned. The strength of the Qin Dynasty's prodigies is terrifying!" one of the spectating prodigies exclaimed in awe.

They knew Ning Sui Feng's capabilities; he was a monstrous prodigy with few rivals among the younger generation. It was precisely because of this that they truly grasped how terrifying Xiang Yu was.

Xiang Yu's cultivation realm was two levels below Ning Sui Feng's!

Even under such circumstances, Xiang Yu had managed to defeat Ning Sui Feng, who was levels above him. From this, they could only conclude that Xiang Yu was a peerless prodigy.

Peerless prodigies were beings capable of leading their entire race to glory!

Among the human race, such individuals could be counted on one hand. The most famous among them was the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

This... In the crowd, the most embarrassed individuals were the prodigies from factions subordinate to the Carefree Sect. Their faces shifted through a spectrum of colors as they furtively turned, hoping to slip away unnoticed.

"Stop!"

He had barely taken a step when Xiang Yu's voice halted him. His heart leaped into his throat, his legs grew weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Heavens! Oh, Earth! Surely, I won't die here, will I?

"Take your master and get out of here. Don't be an eyesore!" Xiang Yu said coldly, his voice resonating with kingly authority. His eyes blazed with divine light, making him seem like an invincible king.

"Okay... I'll do as you say! Please, don't kill me!" The prodigy trembled violently, as if facing a demonic overlord, consumed by utter terror. He hoisted Ning Sui Feng onto his shoulder and fled as if his life depended on it.

"Your Majesty, please enter!" Xiang Yu turned, walked over to Qin Wudao, and bowed respectfully.

This respectful demeanor was a stark contrast to his earlier domineering actions, leaving the spectating prodigies astonished and deeply envious. What qualities did Qin Wudao possess that made a peerless prodigy pledge loyalty unto death? they all wondered.

"Then you may continue to challenge the remaining prodigies!" Qin Wudao did not refuse and strode into the palace.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed him but did not enter the palace. Instead, they stood guard at the entrance, weapons in hand, vigilantly surveying their surroundings. Even after arriving at the Torch Academy, they had not forgotten their duties.

This scene dealt yet another blow to the onlookers.

"Is this the difference between individuals?" a prodigy murmured.

To enter the Torch Academy, one had to be at least a prodigy, and the auras emanating from Dian Wei and Xu Chu were no weaker than their own. Such talents would be True Disciples in any other power. Yet, in the Qin Dynasty's Heavenly Court, they were reduced to mere guards.

"Brothers, let the hunt begin!"

BOOM!

After watching Qin Wudao enter the palace, Xiang Yu let out a long roar. His eyes glinted with disdain, his black hair whipping wildly as he flew towards the nearest immortal palace.

The Overlord Spear in his hand danced, unleashing countless streams of spear aura that shot to the sky. Each stream of spear Qi that fell could effortlessly kill a Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artist and obliterate a Small Thousand World. However, such a terrifying attack could not even tear the Void of the Origin World. The spear Qi descended, striking the gates of a palace several li away.

BOOM!

The palace gates shattered into pieces.

"Who's there?"

The next moment, an enraged voice roared, and two crimson sword lights shot out, slashing towards Xiang Yu.

In response, Xiang Yu merely smiled with disdain. He took a step forward, and a blurry phantom emerged behind him. Clad in royal robes, it exuded an endless, domineering aura that seemed to suppress the very heavens. In its hand, the phantom also wielded a war spear, which it thrust out forcefully.

The spear struck like a dragon, shaking the world and annihilating everything in its path.

...

"Haha, we've been watching this drama for so long; it's about time we made our move!" With a collective battle cry of "Fight! Fight! Fight!", Huo Qubing, Han Xin, Yue Fei, and other generals drew their weapons. Using the bamboo forest as their starting point, they began to challenge the prodigies in the various palaces.

Even Wang Denglin and Qi Meng Die joined the fray, though they were more cautious, choosing palaces at the foot of the mountain and picking off two "soft persimmons."

The only one who remained still was Hongyi.

"I'm still too weak!" Hongyi muttered to himself, his expression somewhat dejected. Among the many prodigies of the Qin Dynasty, he felt like utter trash.

At this moment, a majestic voice rang out in Hongyi's mind: "As Heaven moves with vigor, a gentleman ceaselessly strives for self-improvement! It has been some time since We last summoned you. Here is a cultivation technique. Work hard to improve your strength!"

Following the voice, countless profound, golden characters appeared, shimmering as if they were divine script.

This is... Hongyi's attention was completely captivated by these characters, his body trembling. It wasn't out of fear, but sheer, joyous surprise. He was astounded to discover that this was an eighth-level immortal cultivation technique inheritance, titled the "Xuan Tian Sword Strategy," created by a mighty Immortal Emperor.

An eighth-level immortal cultivation technique!

How precious was that?

In the Great Thousand World, such a technique would be the very foundation for a hegemon-level power's survival.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!" After a long moment, Hongyi returned to his senses. He knelt, proclaiming himself 'subject.' This signified his complete submission to Qin Wudao.

The palace remained silent; no sound emerged, as if it were empty.

After ten breaths, Hongyi slowly rose to his feet. He seemed transformed, radiating an boundless fighting spirit. With confident strides, he walked down the mountain.

He secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and repay his sovereign's benevolence! As the old saying goes: "The sovereign honors me as a true talent of the state; I must repay that honor with unwavering service to the realm!"

Inside the palace, Qin Wudao heard Hongyi's words and smiled faintly. He then closed his eyes and began to circulate the "Chaos Heavenly Scripture," absorbing the immortal energy in the air.

Bestowing the immortal technique also signified his approval of Hongyi. He naturally hoped that the Qin Dynasty would have more and more prodigies.
