Chapter 233: The Birth of the Victor
"You Kaiwu is so weak, is it that You Kaiwu is too weak, or is this boy too strong?"
Ao Xiu’s expression darkened.
Since it was a direct annihilation, there was no possibility of holding back. You Kaiwu simply had bad luck, becoming a stepping stone for Xiang Ying, showcasing his astonishing strength and potential!
This made it hard for Ao Xiu, who had fought You Kaiwu multiple times without a clear winner, to accept.
Although he was confident that his current strength could surpass You Kaiwu, the significant gap compared to a monster like Xiang Ying, who had brutally defeated You Kaiwu, was undeniable.
"Fourth Round!"
"Champion, Xiang Family’s Xiang Ying, challenger to the stage!"
The fourth round would proceed in two batches.
Yun Ye remained in the center, becoming the first champion.
Ao Xiu exchanged glances with the other two, frowning.
Who would challenge?
With Xiang Ying’s strength being so formidable, who could guarantee victory?
After a brief silence, Ao Xiu could no longer bear the gaze of those around him and strode toward the Spiritual Law platform.
He was the top figure of the Ao family; a mere genius from a small clan couldn’t intimidate him, right?
In contrast to him, Tianxin Longming and Nangong Xungu were not as brazen and silently watched Ao Xiu… walking to his doom!
One practiced the Innate Spiritual Law, and the other had attained mastery of Spirit Law. They had long sensed the different atmosphere surrounding Yun Ye.
It was deep as an abyss, impossible to fathom, and that invisible aura stretched across the horizon, suppressing even Fate itself.
It was just like those established figures from the Qilin Rankings!
Fate, this innate destiny, is exceptionally challenging to break, but there have been exceptional individuals who rebelled against it.
The Thirty-Six Talents of the Qilin Rankings and the Four Supreme Beings of the Great Wilderness featured astonishing talents in every generation.
Fifty years ago, a prodigy had turned against fate, forcibly altering his destiny, breaking the three hundred year history of the Great Wilderness, and entered the peerless rankings.
This person amazed the Great Wilderness, now standing in the law realms, just a step away from the Mystic Realm.
He was a typical example of altering fate.
To alter one’s fate means to disregard one’s ‘birth’ and ascend to a higher level.
Yun Ye being accepted as a disciple by the Qushuang Family was destined to alter his fate, though no one expected…
It would come so quickly!
…
Ao Xiu battled Yun Ye.
The Ice Element instantly descended.
As a practitioner of Ice Element, Ao Xiu could compete with Spirit Law and Physical Law purely through his Spiritual Law.
The nearly celestial Ice Element covered everything in a blanket of snow, causing all life within to move sluggishly as their strength was continuously drained.
Fire warms, while ice cools.
The Ice Element amplifies the energy of water’s detachment, consistently stealing the heat from living beings.
This theft can only be barely resisted by the Fire Element; the other four elements are extremely ineffective against it.
About ten parts of spirit energy could only exert one part of its power, which shows a complete element restraint.
Yun Ye just happened to master the Fire Element, possessing the highest temperature flame, Azure Flame. He shattered the ice layer and melted everything, while Ao Xiu’s power could not approach him at all; even his secret techniques were suppressed.
Therefore, Ao Xiu retreated while spitting blood, directly activating his Ice Element secret techniques to escape the barrier.
He did not dare to fight again.
The gap in strength was simply too vast. To hold on would surely lead to his death, just like You Kaiwu, becoming a silent stepping stone.
Staying alive was better than being dead. He still had a bright future ahead and did not want to die.
After escaping from the Spiritual Law platform, Ao Xiu coughed up blood, heavily injured. He was escorted away by a large group of followers, not lingering in that spot.
"Ao Xiu has also been defeated!"
There was an uproar in the crowd; no one expected that a genius from a small clan could truly reverse fate.
Tianxin Longming and Nangong Xungu had already known this outcome; the only surprise was that Ao Xiu had actually survived.
Soon after, Tianxin Longming faced Nangong Xungu in battle. The moment he activated his Spirit Law, the latter swiftly severed his neck with a sword, causing him to bleed out on the spot—another instant kill!
"The heir is invincible; it is only right!"
Nangong Xungu’s followers nodded.
Although the Tianxin family also had a family name that signified special status, it was far inferior to families like Nangong or Qushuang, making it hard to compare.
Therefore, Tianxin Longming was genuinely dead; Nangong Xungu had not held back at all.
During this, the guards protecting Tianxin Longming did appear, but they merely collected his body, showing little emotion over the death of a family’s genius.
A family’s geniuses were countless; they had to filter out many even among their own. Tianxin Longming was nothing exceptional.
If a typical Spiritual Law family had taken action, he would have easily been eliminated.
But Nangong Xungu?
Ha, whether he could slay anyone was uncertain; this matter was not worth risking his status in the law realms.
In the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, hatred held no meaning, only strength mattered.
The Tianxin family did not possess the strength to contend with the Nangong family. Even if a second son died, or even the heir, they could only blame themselves for being too ostentatious.
In the spotlight of thousands,
the Wenyun Ceremony welcomed its decisive battle.
Nangong Xungu and Yun Ye faced each other from a distance.
The four rounds of selection were actually very brief and did not take much time.
The essence of the Wenyun Ceremony lies in the celebration of the victors after the decisive battle; it would last for ten days, extremely grand.
Fortune would then favor the winners.
Obtaining the ten-thousand-year Sun Wheel Fruit,
He enjoyed the glory of a crown for ten days.
The benefits of being the final victor of the Wenyun Ceremony were all highly attractive, theoretically enough to make anyone fight desperately.
Even for Nangong Xungu, born into a great family with an exceptionally high destiny, the fortune granted by the Wenyun Ceremony could still be useful, not completely ineffective.
Everyone eagerly anticipated the grand spectacle that would unfold!
"Xiang Ying!"
Nangong Xungu took a deep breath, suppressing the weight in his heart. A new Qilin child was about to emerge, and his chances of seizing opportunities had diminished once again!
Without the Qilin status, even if he advanced to the law realms, his power would be average, and the likelihood of moving forward would be almost zero.
If there were another genius without such a terrifying sense of danger, he would undoubtedly take action to eliminate them, not allowing them to grow stronger.
But Xiang Ying was not that kind of opponent.
The moment he entertained this thought, it felt as if he had been locked onto by a great terror, a sense that even the family ancestors could not save him. It was even possible that this great terror affected the entire Nangong family!
"Xiang Ying, you are very strong, different from those weaker opponents. I do not have the confidence to defeat you. If we fight with all our might, it would be nothing but a mutual injury, bringing no benefit to anyone…"
"So, I will strike only once! If you can withstand this strike, then you win. Xiang Ying, will you accept the challenge?"
Nangong Xungu’s voice carried serious intent, as if he truly did not wish for both himself and Yun Ye to suffer defeat.
This surprised many; how could someone like Nangong Xungu not be confident in handling a mere genius from a small clan?
This disciple of the Qushuang Family truly defied odds to an extreme!
Everyone turned their gaze to Yun Ye, eager to see how this Qilin child would respond — whether he would accept the challenge, risking being struck by his opponent’s full force, or choose to fight with all his might and rely on his own abilities.
"How about you take my strike? As long as you don’t die, you win."
Yun Ye lightly replied, not intending to follow Nangong Xungu’s pace at all.
"…"
Nangong Xungu fell silent; he aimed to retreat safely, not to seek death.
Then, before everyone’s astonished eyes,
"You win."
Nangong Xungu raised his hand in surrender.
He gave up on maintaining his dignity and directly conceded.
It was a fact that Nangong Xungu could not overcome Yun Ye, so the fortune would not turn against Yun Ye.
The rules reveal the essence directly; it was impossible for the weaker opponent to surrender and attempt to harm the victor.
"The victor is born!"
"Celebrate for Xiang Ying!"
On this day,
The Qilin child of the Xiang Family swept away the top talents of four great clans, even causing those comparable to Qilin Rankings geniuses to fearfully retreat, showcasing his unparalleled presence.
In an instant, the name Xiang Ying spread throughout the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh!
