Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

As Xiao Heng fell into the arena, the interior and exterior of his Thousand-zhang Plateau were completely silent. Many people opened their mouths wide, unable to close them.    

    

One must know that one moment they were still in shock over the strength of Xiao Heng's sword art, and the next moment, an indescribable starlight suddenly appeared and enveloped the martial arena. Then, Xiao Heng was swept off the martial arena and lost because of that.    

    

Especially since almost no one could clearly see what exactly happened, even a top expert like Chu Tianshu could only see an illusionary ball flying away with starlight. Their line of sight could not pierce through the starlight, and as for the telepathic thoughts, they were even too late to release them.    

    

They could only guess that Chen Yu might have released something similar to a Spiritual Soul.    

    

For a time, countless people were bewildered.    

    

Even Ning Bingyu's cold face showed a trace of astonishment. Her beautiful eyes rolled around as she thought hard but couldn't come up with an answer.    

    

At this moment, the starlight disappeared, and the sword gate shook as it headed down the platform towards Xiao Heng.    

    

As for the black Broken Sword, it had long since destroyed the sword qi and returned to Chen Yu's body after the Star Soul.    

    

"The winner will be Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, and he will be promoted to the final round!" Even at such a close distance, he was still unable to see what method Chen Yu used. He used his spiritual will to scan Xiao Heng, who was below the stage, and after confirming that Xiao Heng was fine, he did not even summon the elders of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion to directly announce the outcome of the battle.    

    

Only after the Guardian Elder's voice spread throughout the entire arena did the silent Thousand-zhang Plateau start to stir.    

    

"How is this possible?"    

    

"How did Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu win again? How could he even defeat Xiao Heng?"    

    

"He obviously couldn't block Brother Xiao Heng's sword qi, so why did he suddenly turn the tables? Did this guy use some kind of demonic magic?"    

    

"Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu, just how many secrets are on your body?"    

    

"…"    

    

Incredulous voices resounded throughout the Thousand-zhang Plateau.    

    

Along the way, Chen Yu constantly defeated the geniuses from the various peaks. It could be said that it shocked countless people to the point of numbness, but when Xiao Heng was also defeated, the shock did not decrease and instead became more difficult to accept.    

    

On the Thousand-sword Peak viewing platform, a few human figures rose into the air and rushed towards the arena. However, the Thousand-sword Peak elders had finally woken up from their shock and remembered to check on Xiao Heng's injuries.    

    

For a genius like Xiao Heng, there was no room for mistakes. However, it was already too late.    

    

On the Fire Cloud Peak viewing platform, Su Qingyuan sat at the center position, and looked at the far away arena. The haze in his eyes had already reached the extreme.    

    

"Senior apprentice-brother!" The graceful built woman with a look of love on her face said to Su Qingyuan: "It might not be a bad thing for Polar Extreme Peak Wu Steel to get into the top two. He has a lot of secrets, and now they are all exposed!"    

    

Su Qingyuan just snorted, "This kid can't be left alive!"    

    

The lady nodded and said, "Long live the dream. We must kill him as soon as possible!"    

    

Su Qingyuan turned around and looked at his Junior Martial Sister who had deep feelings for him and knew that she only said that. She didn't really know how scary Chen Yu was, so he shook his head and didn't explain any further.    

    

Only Su Qingyuan, who came from a remote place like Minglan City, knew how difficult and terrifying it was to rely on his slightly cold origin to rise to prominence in Ruling Spirit Sect!    

    

The Thousand-sword Peak elders had already reached the bottom of the arena and immediately checked Xiao Heng's injuries. After confirming that Xiao Heng's breastbone was broken and that there was no danger to his life and that he would not affect future cultivation, they all heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

Amongst the few elders, an old man with eyes like the ocean suddenly turned to look at the main peak's viewing platform after asking Xiao Heng a few questions, and said in a clear voice: "For the great sect competition, we must strive for fairness, Sect Master, Hall Master Shen, and the various elders, this white one suspects that the Polar Extreme Peak and the methods related to the evil spirits have been used.    

    

His voice was filled with authority and authority, spreading through the entire venue.    

    

"It's the Thousand-sword Peak Bai Yunxiao, the Elder Bai, the first person under the Thousand-sword Peak Spiritual Master Lin Juanyang!"    

    

"He questioned the origins of Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu. Thinking about it, there is indeed a point to this question!"    

    

"Just now, Chen Yu was clearly about to be defeated, but he suddenly reversed it. Maybe he really did use some kind of Blood Devil Outer Dao ability!"    

    

"…"    

    

On the Thousand-zhang Plateau, countless eyes were looking at Chen Yu on the stage with suspicion.    

    

After all, Chen Yu's achievement in battles with a cultivation base that had yet to advance into Spirit Accumulation Stage was too shocking. If they were to question one another, the suspicion would not be suppressed.    

    

A genius would be able to defeat an opponent at one or two small realms, and a genius would be able to defeat one at four or five small realms. For example, Chen Yu, who was able to surpass eight small realms, was a demon.    

    

"Elder Bai!" On the main viewing platform, Qi Zhengnan and Chu Tianshu whispered as they stood up, took a step into the air, and walked down to the martial stage. They said in a loud and clear voice: "It is normal for someone to have hidden methods and secret skills during the sect competition; Now that the Large Competition is taking place, it would not be appropriate to interrupt the Large Competition from questioning the disciples who are hoping to obtain the first place in the Large Competition! "    

    

Pausing for a moment, Qi Zhengnan continued: "If the Thousand-sword Peak Faction still has any doubts, then bring up the matter after the Large Competition. However, Sect Master and this old man have always been paying attention to Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, and have not felt that Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu and the Evil Realm are related! "    

    

Hearing that, Bai Yunsheng was angered, but he still had to maintain his elegant demeanor under the eyes of tens of thousands of people. Furthermore, Qi Zhengnan's status was not ordinary, and with the fact that the Large Competition is the responsibility of the main peak, he was indeed not cut off, so he nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then we can discuss about other matters after the Large Competition, but regarding whether or not Polar Extreme Peak is related to evil spirits, Thousand-sword Peak is the main sect's responsibility!"    

    

As he said that, he cupped his hands together and turned to look at Chen Yu who was on the arena. The instant he turned his head, his gaze was as sharp as a sword.    

    

Chen Yu suddenly felt his heart palpitate and felt a strong sense of danger.    

    

"There's only one Elder Bai in the Thousand-sword Peak, he's Bai Shangfei's great-uncle!" Chen Yu thought for a moment and understood why Bai Yunsheng had such an unfriendly attitude towards him.    

    

Bai Yunsheng withdrew his gaze and turned around to leave the arena.    

    

Qi Zhengnan leaped onto the arena, and after nodding towards the Patriarch, he announced loudly: "There is only one more round of the great sect competition, Polar Extreme Peak Chen Yu, Ning Bingyu, the main peak, Ning Bingyu, will decide the winner. Now, Ning Bingyu, come up on stage, let the competition begin!"    

    

With that, Qi Zhengnan walked to the side of the sparring platform and looked at Chen Yu.    

    

Under Qi Zhengnan's scrutinized gaze, Chen Yu's heart turned cold.    

    

Qi Zhengnan and Chen Yu did not know each other, but at this moment, they only felt that the strength of this old man was not inferior to Chu Tianshu's. He was like an unfathomable bottomless chasm.    

    

Qi Zhengnan's gaze was filled with wisdom that came from extremely rich experience. Under his gaze, Chen Yu felt that he had no secrets to hide.    

    

Chen Yu estimated that Qi Zhengnan was not only worried that the Patriarch would be unable to deal with a sudden situation like this, but also worried that Qi Zhengnan would be able to see his real intention.    

    

At this time, Ning Bingyuyu slowly stepped onto the stage. She looked elegant and graceful, as if she was from the mortal world.    

    

After bowing and clasping her hands towards Qi Zhengnan, Ning Bingyu stood about thirty feet away from Chen Yu, looking at Chen Yu with a complicated look in her watery eyes.    

    

"Polar Extreme Peak, Chen Yu greets Senior Sister Ning!" Chen Yu thought back to four years ago when he was going down the mountain and had a duel with Zong Qing in the Falling Cloud Platform. At that time, Chen Yu saw the peerless grace of Ning Bingyu, who had returned from her journey.    

    

After four years, Chen Yu was actually competing with Ning Bingyu for the first place!    

    

Ning Bingyu's eyes were dazed for a split-second. Obviously, she remembered the scene from four years ago.    

    

Originally, Ning Bingyu did not have a deep memory of that scene. However, when Chen Yu always achieved incredible results in the final round of the Large Competition, she, who felt that Chen Yu was a little familiar, finally recalled the scene from four years ago.    

    

Ning Bingyu didn't expect that the salary disciple, who could only compete with Zong Qing, would fight with her for the first place in the Large Competition in just four years' time.    

    

In these four years, Ning Bingyu had only advanced from the peak of the sixth level of Spirit Accumulation Stage to the peak of the seventh level.    

    

"Senior Sister Ning, please!"    

    

Ning Bingyu nodded and said, "Junior Brother Chen, please!"    

    

Chen Yu was no longer polite. He swung the Wind Stabilization Blade in his hand and reflected his Sea of Consciousness to slash with the Wave Slash Blade. The blade was extremely sharp, and it was impossible to resist the blade intent that interfered with reality.    

    

Ning Bingyu was prepared for Chen Yu's powerful saber intent. Her body flew like a willow leaf as she threw out a palm attack.    

    

The water attribute Spiritual Dipper surged, turning into a small palm, and welcomed Chen Yu's blade.    

    

The moment the palms of the Supreme Force appeared, countless thin water vapor gathered in the air and flowed towards the palm. Then, they were cut apart by Chen Yu's blade.    

    

His palm broke and water droplets sprayed out, bringing along the force of absorption as it took away Chen Yu's saber Qi, making Chen Yu's slash futile.    

    

However, Chen Yu's condensed sword intent turned into a formless spatial blade, still unstoppable.    

    

Ning Bingyu stretched out her hand and grabbed again, her five fingers moving rhythmically like water droplets falling.    

    

A formless pulling force appeared on Chen Yu's flawless palm. His blade shifted and slashed across the air as it flew past Ning Bingyu.    

    

With such a simple yet mysterious method, Ning Bingyu easily cracked the saber intent of defeating Zhao Qiancheng.    

    

Ning Bingyu's figure was like a willow swaying in the wind as she moved to Chen Yu's side.    

    

A strand of pure water attribute Spiritual Dipper appeared and condensed into a water arrow in an instant, shooting towards Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu slashed out his sword and shattered the water arrow. However, he suddenly felt that the water arrow that had shattered contained a kind of gentle force that circulated a hundred times. This power was not strong, but under his overbearing and powerful strength, it actually managed to deflect the Wind Stabilization Blade's blade force.    

    

This kind of strength was nothing to look down on. In a battle between experts, this small deviation was enough to determine life or death.    

    

However, Ning Bingyu had no intention of getting into close combat with him. She flicked her fingers as water arrows rained down on Chen Yu.    

    

This method couldn't do anything to Chen Yu, but it was enough to make Chen Yu feel like he was stuck in a quagmire and unable to move.
