"Alright, since you can't wait, I'll fulfill your wish and fight with you!"
Ye Qing stepped forward. In the martial arts arena, the crowd dispersed, leaving enough space for the two of them to display their skills.
The Way of Runes could be used to refine magic treasures and also to fight.
Magic treasures were used by low-level warriors. When one reached the Fate Wheel Realm or the Eternal Realm, they would disdain using magic treasures and would use artifacts instead.
The method of refining artifacts was even more mysterious. It was not something that could be refined just by mastering a few runes.
To refine artifacts, the most important thing was the material of the artifact. After that, there would be a long sacrificial refining process. One would need to constantly use Origin Energy to nourish the artifact.
Hence, when one reached the level of a nine-star rune master, the use of runes was basically for fighting.
Using runes to assist in battle could greatly increase one's combat strength. Some warriors who specialized in the Way of Runes could even defeat opponents of a higher cultivation level than themselves.
The Way of Runes was unfathomable. It could also be used to set up a powerful Rune Array. It was an extremely powerful means of attack.
In Higashiba Seimune, rune masters were always highly valued. In a group battle, the Rune Array had a terrifying lethality!
In the martial arts arena of the Successor Peak, elders constantly flew over. Among them were the elders who were in charge of the Sanctum assessment three days ago.
That day, they had seen Ye Qing's heaven-defying talent in runes. Hence, they were very interested in the battle between Ye Qing and Nicholas. They all came to watch the battle.
In the martial arts arena, there were many onlookers. It was estimated that there were more than 3,000 people. Many of them were direct disciples.
"Senior Hak Hyuk, please be my witness. If I win, Ye Qing will have to do as I say!"
Nicholas was full of confidence. It was as if he could already see Ye Qing running among the peaks of Higashiba Seimune.
Hak Hyuk nodded slightly. With Hak Hyuk as a witness, no matter who failed, Ye Qing or Nicholas would have to fulfill their end of the bargain. There was nothing to be said about that.
"Alright, you two. Remember, don't go too far. Don't hurt your friendship. You're both Holy Son, and your future achievements are limitless!"
Hak Hyuk said slowly, reminding the two that this was just a spar.
"Vice Sect Leader, don't worry. I won't do anything to him. I just want to prove that my attainments in runes are far greater than his!"
Nicholas sneered and then shot up into the sky, displaying his powerful rune strength.
The runic stone tablet beneath his feet blossomed with a dazzling luster. Many runes were rotating, mysterious and unfathomable.
Buzz!
Immediately after, a shocking roar came from the sky. Nicholas had used his ultimate move!
Nine Star Primordial Rune, Black Wind Demon-Sealing Spell!
With that stone tablet as the center, illusory stone tablets condensed and crushed towards Ye Qing.
The illusory stone tablets descended from the sky with immense power. Vast rune power surged, creating a terrifying scene.
Those stone tablets seemed to be able to suppress everything, peerlessly sharp. In the primordial era, the Black Wind Demon-Sealing Spell was used to suppress the existence of demons.
The Black Wind Demon-Sealing Spell of the primordial era was naturally more powerful. It had been passed down to the present, and it was already very difficult to restore its original appearance. In reality, the Black Wind Demon-Sealing Spell that Nicholas obtained was only an incomplete copy.
However, even if it was an incomplete copy, the power it could unleash was extremely terrifying.
The stone tablets that descended from the sky were densely packed and innumerable, occupying the entire training field.
Those onlookers retreated one after another, afraid that they would be affected by the Black Wind Demon-Sealing Spell.
Inside the training field, Ye Qing was calm and composed. In terms of runes, his attainments were very deep. Although he did not obtain any powerful runes recently, he self-created a nine-star rune!
Ye Qing who possessed divine rank comprehension ability, creating nine-star runes was nothing difficult. After a period of silent research, he inscribed the nine-star rune, Renunciation Blood Curse!
Speaking of which, after creating the Renunciation Blood Curse, Ye Qing had yet to truly test out the power of the Renunciation Blood Curse.
Now that Nicholas came, Ye Qing could just use him to practice.
Seeing countless stone tablet illusory images crushing over, Ye Qing was fearless. Both hands drew in the void. In a short moment, the Renunciation Blood Curse was successfully inscribed!
Buzz!
A stretch of scarlet blood light appeared. Ye Qing's Renunciation Blood Curse used blood light as the main source of damage. That boundless blood light virtually enveloped the entire sky.
Under the influence of the Renunciation Blood Curse, many stone tablet illusory images dissipated and were unable to approach Ye Qing's body at all.
"Hiss!"
Outside the arena, there was a series of exclamations. The eyes of many old seniors of the runic world flashed!
The runic strength that Nicholas displayed was already shocking enough, but the runes that Ye Qing used were even more terrifying.
These old seniors of the runic world knew very well that if they were in Ye Qing's shoes, they might not be able to withstand the blood light that blotted out the sky.
"Renunciation Blood Curse, shatter!"
Ye Qing growled as the blood light surged into the sky. Amidst it, a large scarlet hand condensed and viciously clenched at the void!
The next moment, all the stone tablet illusory images in the void dissipated. Not a single stone tablet could approach Ye Qing, much less cause any damage to him.
Not far away, Nicholas's face turned completely gloomy. He realized how terrifying and powerful Ye Qing was!
His nine-star primordial rune, Black Wind Demon Sealing Curse, had already displayed its power, but compared to Ye Qing's, it paled in comparison.
"Nicholas, how about it? It's not shameful for you to admit defeat now. I've already displayed one-thousandth of the power of the Renunciation Blood Curse."
Ye Qing said with a chuckle. Infuriating someone to death was not worth it. One-thousandth of the power? In any case, Nicholas did not believe it, and neither did the audience.
It was not easy to fight against Nicholas. Ye Qing's words were undoubtedly meant to mess with Nicholas's mentality and deliberately anger him.
"Kid, I'll let you taste the true power of the Black Wind Demon Sealing Curse!"
Nicholas still refused to admit defeat. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he suddenly roared. Above his head, an array formation condensed!
Once the Rune Grand Array was set up, a terrifying pressure filled the air.
Nicholas set up the array formation very quickly. He was indeed a prodigy of the Dao of Runes. His talent was extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, setting up a runic array would require a certain amount of time.
However, Nicholas set up the array formation almost instantly, not giving Ye Qing any time to react.
"Black Wind Demon Sealing Array, go!"
Nicholas roared into the sky and finally displayed his true means. Using the Black Wind Demon Sealing Curse as the foundation, he set up the Black Wind Demon Sealing Array. It was his trump card.
The Demon-Sealing Stone Tablet beneath his feet emitted a dazzling luster. Runes rapidly circulated and rushed into the sky. Mysterious runes linked together, forming a great runic array!
After the Black Wind Demon Sealing Array was formed, the world was filled with a murderous aura. The Demon Sealing Stone Tablet beneath Nicholas's feet was almost completely materialized. A pitch-black light illuminated the sky!
"Demon Sealing Stone Tablet, suppress!"
Nicholas pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground. With the Black Wind Demon Sealing Array augmenting the power of the Demon Sealing Stone Tablet, he suppressed forcefully.
The Black Wind Demon Sealing Array was known to be able to suppress everything. In Nicholas's opinion, Ye Qing was definitely not a match!
