Chapter 99: Chapter 99, Transcendence Realm Seventh Layer (Second Update, Requesting First Subscription)

Silence!

The scene was deathly quiet! Everyone present was stunned!

Some Inner Sect Disciples couldn’t believe their eyes, rubbing them vigorously and staring blankly at the name on the Cyan Yang List.

First place, Chu Ming, that’s right!

Even the Inner Sect Elder who had been overseeing the Cyan Yang Tower was utterly shocked. He had witnessed many great storms, countless dark horses rising to fame, and the birth of numerous stars, but he had never seen anyone like Chu Ming who dominated completely.

"Good, good, good! Excellent! Excellent!" The black-robed Inner Sect Elder was extremely excited, praising continually, reflecting his intense internal excitement.

"Thank you for the compliments, Elder!"

Chu Ming responded respectfully. He had expected to be first on the Cyan Yang List; his goal was to become a Core Disciple.

"You deserve this praise. Over the years, you are the most promising disciple I have ever seen. I hope you can bring glory to the Cyan Yang Sect. Three days from now, you can challenge the Core Disciples. If you win, you will replace them. Go back and prepare well!"

The gray-robed Inner Sect Elder advised, then, without waiting to oversee the Cyan Yang Tower anymore, he hurriedly turned and left, leaving the Inner Sect Disciples to look at each other in bewilderment.

"Today’s visit wasn’t in vain. We witnessed such an exciting scene. I bet this news will soon spread throughout the Cyan Yang Sect!"

"From the information I’ve gathered, it seems the Celestial Flame Secret Realm will open in half a month. All core disciples from the Five Great Sects will enter it. Chu Ming might have a chance to go in, too!"

"You underestimate the Core Disciples. If they were so easy to defeat, Qi Yang wouldn’t have dominated the top of the Cyan Yang List for a year while still being an Inner Sect Disciple!"

"True, the Core Disciples are all formidable. It won’t be easy for Chu Ming to defeat them."

After the Inner Sect Elder left, Chu Ming prepared to leave as well, seemingly oblivious to the discussions of the surrounding disciples.

Just as Chu Ming was about to leave the square, the Inner Sect Disciples suddenly scattered, forming a circle around him.

Looking up, a figure emerged from the backs of many disciples, an invisible aura enveloping the entire scene, instantly stilling it.

It was Qi Yang!

He carried a blood-red scimitar on his back, its blade intricately covered with blood-red patterns. Dressed in a pristine robe, his eyes shone like stars. At this moment, he gazed at Chu Ming with a grave expression.

Seeing the Cyan Yang List, Qi Yang felt a sense of relief. As the saying goes, "Loneliness at the top," he had been at the top of the Cyan Yang List for a year and was on the verge of madness.

Now seeing Chu Ming occupying the top position, Qi Yang recognized Chu Ming’s strength as comparable to his own, sparking his desire to compete. Upon receiving the news, he immediately rushed over.

"Chu, I’m here today to challenge you!"

Qi Yang took a deep breath and said slowly, drawing out his blood-red scimitar. Two arcs of red moon-like blades splattered on the ground, producing a shower of sparks.

"Make your move!"

The Silver Light Sword unsheathed, its dazzling white light drawing everyone’s gaze. The sword tip shivered, and Chu Ming calmly said.

"Be careful!"

Qi Yang shouted, his blood-red scimitar whirling violently, with a roaring sound, the Blood Blade bloomed like a blood-red lotus, vibrant and vivid.

Boom boom boom

The blood-red lotus contained various realms: Blood Realm, Slow Realm, Killing Realm. Chu Ming saw several types, but Qi Yang’s understanding of these realms was too shallow.

He managed to mix these realms simply. Although it increased the attack’s power, it stunted his understanding of each realm.

If Chu Ming had guessed correctly, Qi Yang had fallen into a dead-end, unable to advance in strength if he couldn’t break through.

Seeing the blood-red lotus in front of him, Chu Ming only had one thought: Weak!

Too weak!

Chu Ming’s strength now surpassed that of typical Core Disciples by a considerable margin. Qi Yang was no match for him.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming lightly swung his Silver Light Sword, and instantly a dazzling white light flashed, pure and devoid of any realms, containing only endless brutal spiritual power.

The sword tip shattered into fragments, ripping through the surrounding air, breaking Qi Yang’s aura like a deflating balloon.

Pfft pfft pfft...

Short sword fragments seemed tiny before the blood-red lotus, but the power within formed a complete contrast; the blood-red lotus was fragile.

Almost instantly upon contact, the Blood Blade lotus shattered, its aura dispersed, pushing the surrounding Inner Sect Disciples to retreat, eyes filled with astonishment.

Pfft

The blood-red lotus completely destroyed, turned to ashes. At the same time, the short sword fragments approached Qi Yang, the aura of death overwhelmed him, causing Qi Yang’s pupils to contract, retreating immediately.

Ding ding ding

Several short blades hit the ground, sparking and raining down, forcing Qi Yang to constantly retreat. A moment slower, he would suffer serious injuries.

Pfft

A small blade, hidden among others, moved several times faster and instantly appeared before Qi Yang, piercing through his chest before he could react.

Several drops of blood splattered from Qi Yang’s chest, staining his white robe, resembling blooming red plum blossoms.

Qi Yang was stunned, and the numerous Inner Sect Disciples were equally shocked. One strike, just one strike, Qi Yang was defeated!

If not witnessed firsthand, no one would believe it. Chu Ming defeated Qi Yang with one move. Some disciples even suspected if Chu Ming hadn’t held back, that one strike could have killed Qi Yang.

"Hiss!"

Until Chu Ming’s figure disappeared from their sight, the Inner Sect Disciples finally reacted, gasping in astonishment, the scene unforgettable.

Phew

Qi Yang touched the wound on his chest, eyes revealing a complex emotion. For a moment, he felt the call of death, nearly suffocating.

...

Chu Ming returned to his small courtyard. Truthfully, the duel with Qi Yang was just a minor episode for him; his immediate concern was to enhance his strength.

Taking out a Middle Grade Spirit Stone, Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, entering a cultivation state. Spiritual power continuously poured into his body, strengthening his Dantian.

Three days later.

Chu Ming remained seated on the bed, still cultivating, but the spiritual power within him was increasingly turbulent, exceptionally unstable.

Crack!

The spirit stone in his hand suddenly shattered, its spiritual power completely drained.

Buzz buzz buzz

His Dantian trembled, spiritual power surged, and his aura changed instantly.
