Chapter 828: The Pinnacle Duel of the Saint Martial Assembly!
As the cheers erupted throughout the arena for Yi Su, even the powerful members of the Sacred Mountain team seemed displeased.
Ouyang Yuanfeng’s expression was also far from pleasant. He raised his hand, signaling for silence.
Gradually, the uproar of cheering subsided.
“The Saint Martial Assembly has now reached its final round. Congratulations to Yi Su from Overlord Sect for making it to the final duel. If he manages to defeat Nanan Ruyu from Sacred Mountain, he will be allowed to enter Sacred Mountain to cultivate alongside the Saint Child and the holy maiden!”
Ouyang Yuanfeng’s voice grew louder and more vibrant, sending waves of sound that echoed through the empty space.
“To go to Sacred Mountain and practice with the Saint Child and holy maiden!”
“I wonder if Overlord Sect’s Yi Su can overcome Nanan Ruyu!”
Excitement filled the air, and many people eagerly hoped that if Yi Su from Overlord Sect could defeat Nanan Ruyu and claim victory in the Saint Martial Assembly, they might one day practice with the holy maiden of Sacred Mountain. This opportunity was a dream for many!
“Now, I announce…”
Ouyang Yuanfeng scanned the crowd and then turned his focus to two young men standing on golden boulders. His energetic voice continued, “The final showdown… has officially begun!”
Loud noise
As Ouyang Yuanfeng’s words echoed, the entire mountain range burst into cheers, and the sound waves reverberated like a storm, reaching the clouds.
“Sacred Mountain’s Nanan Ruyu, Overlord Sect’s Yi Su, who will rise as the emperor of prodigies this time?”
“I knew it! The final duel would be between Nanan Ruyu and Overlord Sect’s Yi Su, and here it is!”
Amidst the cheers, many spectators had already predicted that the final battle for the title of Ultimate Champion would be between Overlord Sect’s Yi Su and Sacred Mountain’s Saint Child, Nanan Ruyu. Though some interruptions occurred and other talents showed great potential, the ultimate outcome was never in doubt.
Humming!
Above the vast empty square, a resonant “humming” sound echoed.
Boom!
The two enormous golden boulders, created from the Sanctified Martial Platform of the Void, spun once more. A dazzling, golden light shot into the sky, exuding a divine aura!
The ground trembled beneath the square, as the earth seemed to shake with the force of the spectacle.
This grand display far surpassed the previous rounds.
Powerful figures from the Five Sects, Three Gates, Yutian Palace, Sacred Mountain, and other major powers watched with complex expressions.
None of these powerful individuals were surprised that Nanan Ruyu had reached the final round. It would have been unusual if Nanan Ruyu hadn’t made it.
However, the strong fighters from these renowned sects had not expected the final battle for the Saint Martial Assembly’s championship to be contested by Yi Su from the Overlord Sect.
Boom…
A brilliant surge of golden light soared into the heavens, lighting up half the sky. The two giant golden boulders spun and eventually collided, merging into one enormous golden boulder, which began moving.
The golden light faded, and the colossal boulder stood like a small mountain in the vast square.
Two young figures faced each other at a distance. One was the most outstanding genius, the Saint Child of Sacred Mountain!
The other was a “black dragon” that had emerged in the Saint Martial Assembly, drawing attention from the very start. Fierce and invincible, it had advanced all the way to this final round, where it now stood to face Nanan Ruyu at his peak.
Countless eyes were fixed on Nanan Ruyu in the field. With his sharp nose and thin lips, his slanted eyebrows extending into his temples, he radiated an aura of holiness. His lightning-like gaze could make anyone feel subdued with just one look.
It was well known that Nanan Ruyu had come for the championship of this Saint Martial Assembly. He sought to surpass all the geniuses from different regions and become an unmatched figure among the young generation in the Central Region.
The defeated geniuses from great mountain gates, such as Mu Yao, Li Qingwei, and Shao Sijun, focused their attention on the two young figures near the golden boulder.
Xi Wuqing nervously watched the scene, his hands clenched tightly within the lineup of the Yutian Palace.
“My big brother will definitely win!”
Su Xiaoshuai perched on Xi Wuqing’s shoulder, his clear, bright eyes filled with absolute confidence in Su Yi.
“Hmph!”
In the Sacred Mountain lineup, Bing Fu and others sneered, their unpleasant expressions revealing an undercurrent of murderous intent.
They hadn’t expected Yi Su to have such strength to reach the final round, though they had hoped that Su Yi would make it this far.
But once he faced Nanan Ruyu, that would be the end for him.
If Yi Su were allowed to enter the Yutian Palace again, his talent would ensure he received their full protection and cultivation. It wouldn’t be long before he became a serious threat to Sacred Mountain.
With the backing of Yutian Palace, Yi Su would become a true rival.
And if Nanan Ruyu were to kill Yi Su at the Saint Martial Assembly, even if it violated certain rules, Sacred Mountain’s influence would ensure no major consequences. After all, a death wouldn’t be a huge issue given their status.
Bing Fu and others knew that Nanan Ruyu was proud and arrogant. When they had first set up the killing game, Nanan Ruyu had paid no attention to it, and they had not raised any objections.
But now, it was clear that Su Yi had provoked Nanan Ruyu by killing several Sacred Mountain disciples. Yi Su’s fate was sealed—he was destined to die, all in the name of protecting Sacred Mountain’s reputation.
As the golden boulder stood tall and the surroundings grew quiet, the roaring cheers suddenly died down.
The atmosphere became charged with an inexplicable tension.
The two figures remained at a distance, already giving an impression of immense pressure, like the stillness before a volcano’s eruption.
The onlookers knew this battle between Overlord Sect’s Yi Su and Sacred Mountain’s Nanan Ruyu was not just for the title of Heavenly Emperor; it also represented the deep enmity between Overlord Sect and Sacred Mountain.
Though no one knew the full history behind their conflict, it was clear that Su Yi’s defeat of Sacred Mountain’s Ouyang Jinwei had only worsened the tensions.
This enmity ran deep.
On the golden boulder, Su Yi quietly activated the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, refining the replenishing qi pills he had already taken.
His gaze lifted slightly, locking onto Nanan Ruyu. A growing sense of killing intent could be seen in his eyes. Beneath his tattered robe, a faint red glow flickered on his skin.
Su Yi knew this battle was unavoidable, and he had been anticipating it!
This was not just a trial. Su Yi understood this well. If he could seize the opportunity to kill Nanan Ruyu, it would be the greatest blow to Sacred Mountain, making them regret their actions deeply.
