As the black demonic pillar swung down, it was as if a demonic dragon was roaring. Along with a frightening power that even the heavens and earth could not withstand, it ruthlessly smashed against the gigantic body of the wind dragon that was enveloping it under countless gazes.
Boom!
In that instant of collision, a deep and ear-piercing roar resounded across the horizon. In the next instant, an indescribable gale violently wreaked havoc, causing fine cracks to appear on the Golden Battle Stage, which seemed to be forged from gold.
The Battle Stage was clearly forged from special materials, making it incomparably sturdy. Even an all-out attack from an expert that had passed his Spirit Disaster wouldn't be able to cause any damage to it. However, cracks had appeared on the Battle Stage from the collision between Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun. Thus, one could tell how powerful the impact was.
"Roar!"
As the dreadful gales wreaked havoc, the azure wind dragon unleashed a mournful roar. The dazzling azure light was completely suppressed by the black light.
At this moment, Liu Qingyun's face slightly changed.
Boom!
With a calm expression, Mu Chen hugged the air with his arms, as if he was hugging the Great Meru Demonic Pillar that was roughly a hundred feet in size. Once again, he fiercely smashed it down. As the demonic pillar swung down, patches of air exploded.
Boom!
Finally, the azure wind dragon couldn't bear the dreadful power of the demonic pillar and was sent flying. As the azure light flickered, the azure dragon exploded and an azure light shot back, turning into an azure halberd that fell into Liu Qingyun's hand.
Liu Qingyun's hand tightly grasped onto the Divine Wind Halberd. However, the dreadful power that was transmitted over still forced him to take a few steps back. Only then, did he circulate his Spiritual Energy to completely resist the power.
Lowering his head, he saw strands of ominous aura coiling around the Divine Wind Halberd. The ominous aura was exceptionally violent, as if it wanted to corrode the Divine Wind Halberd in his hand.
"Hmph."
Liu Qingyun snorted coldly. The spiritual energy in his body surged like a tidal wave, and the halberd trembled.
After completely dispersing the incoming fiendish aura, he raised his head and looked to his front. Mu Chen was quietly standing there, while a gigantic black demonic pillar floated above his head. The gigantic demonic pillar radiated an endless fiendish aura, appearing just like the pillar of a demon god.
"What a ferocious weapon." Up in the sky, the Deans of many Spiritual Academies were startled in their hearts when they saw the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
They could naturally feel the astonishing fiendish energy from the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.
Moreover, this demonic pillar clearly had a great origin.
That ancient and boundless feeling was definitely not something an ordinary Divine Artifact could compare to.
However, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar seemed to be in a sealed state.
Otherwise, Liu Qingyun's Quasi-Divine Weapon, the Divine Wind Halberd, would definitely be seriously corroded.
Outside the Battle Stage, innumerable students exclaimed in admiration. They were indeed worthy of being one of the top 8 teams that stood out amongst the countless Spiritual Academies. It was truly frightening. Such a confrontation could already be considered as the pinnacle amongst their age group.
"No wonder even Ji Xuan is a little fearful of you."
On the Battle Stage
Liu Qingyun stared at Mu Chen with a gaze as cold as a blade. Shortly after, he slowly tightened his grip on the Divine Wind Halberd as his face turned completely grave. That's because he knew that …
If he wanted to truly defeat Mu Chen, he would probably have to go all out without holding anything back.
Huff.
Liu Qingyun deeply inhaled a mouthful of cold air. Shortly after, his eyes gradually turned dark green as green Spiritual Energy swept out like a torrential river. In the blink of an eye, it had enveloped the entire heavens and earth.
The green Spiritual Energy spread out in the void as it gently fluctuated, quietly flowing in the sky like a stream. However, it was that silence that caused many students with keen eyesight to have a change in their expressions.
That's because they could sense a bone-chilling fluctuation that was quietly spreading out in the sky.
The green Spiritual Energy seemed to be formed from countless blades as it emitted an indescribable sharpness. It was so much so that even space was slightly distorted under the flow of the green Spiritual Energy.
At the same time, an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy pressure spread out.
Everyone outside the stage felt the Spiritual Energy pressure and smacked their lips. The intensity of the Spiritual Energy had definitely passed through the Third Grade Spirit Disaster. This Liu Qingyun was truly powerful.
"Mu Chen, you're truly not bad."
Liu Qingyun's figure slowly rose into the sky as he stood within the boundless green Spiritual Energy. His dark green eyes stared at Mu Chen as if there was a tornado forming in his eyes.
"So, to show that I value you, I will use the power of my Wind Spirit Clan to defeat you."
Mu Chen's black pupils were also staring at Liu Qingyun. Naturally, he could sense the sharp fluctuations that were rippling around the latter. The Spiritual Energy was like blades as it spread out in every corner of this space.
The Spiritual Energy cultivated by Liu Qingyun was different from ordinary Spiritual Energy. The offensive nature of this Spiritual Energy was stronger. Clearly, the Cultivation Technique that he had cultivated wasn't simple.
"That's the Wind Spiritual Energy of the Wind Spirit Clan, right? It's said that only the clansmen of the Wind Spirit Clan can cultivate it. The offensive power is extremely powerful and ordinary Spiritual Energy can't withstand it."
Up in the sky, a few Deans of the Spiritual Academies lightly nodded their heads. Generally speaking, only after stepping into the Sovereign Realm would one's Spiritual Energy undergo a complete transformation. Before that, the majority of Spiritual Energy would be the same, unless one possessed some special Cultivation Technique. However, those Cultivation Techniques were the secret techniques of the various clans, and outsiders wouldn't know about them.
Therefore, if ordinary people were to fight with those clans, they would definitely be at a disadvantage due to the clash of Spiritual Energy.
That's because, if ordinary people wanted to gain the upper hand with the same amount of Spiritual Energy, they would have to expend several times more Spiritual Energy in order to suppress that special Spiritual Energy.
"The unique Spiritual Energy of the Wind Spirit Clan?"
Mu Chen muttered to himself. Shortly after, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly formed a peculiar seal with both of his hands. It was the seal of the Great Pagoda Art.
The Great Pagoda Art was a mysterious Cultivation Technique that his mother had left behind for him. The profoundness of it was something that even the current Mu Chen couldn't comprehend. However, based on the Spiritual Energy cultivated by the Great Pagoda Art, this Cultivation Technique shouldn't be simple.
Since Liu Qingyun wanted to compete with Spiritual Energy, Mu Chen didn't mind giving it a try. Was the Wind Spiritual Energy of the Wind Spirit Clan stronger, or was it his Great Pagoda Art that was stronger?
Bang!
Following the formation of Mu Chen's seal, black and white Spiritual Energy instantly swept out from Mu Chen's body like a tidal wave. Black and white Spiritual Energy howled across the heavens and earth. As the black and white fused together, it was just like the fusion of Yin and Yang.
Compared to Liu Qingyun's Wind Spiritual Energy that was filled with sharpness, Mu Chen's Pagoda Art didn't seem to have too much of an offensive nature. However, as it howled, a profoundness started to radiate out.
"He's going to execute the Great Pagoda Art?"
Outside the Battle Stage, Ling Xi's beautiful eyes lit up when she saw this. Ever since she had handed the Yin Scroll of the Great Pagoda Art to Mu Chen, she had never seen the latter completely execute the Great Pagoda Art.
Although she knew that the Wind Spirit Clan was a pretty reputable clan in the Great Thousand World, compared to the ancient clan that Aunt Jing came from, the Wind Spirit Clan would pale in comparison.
Up in the sky, Liu Qingyun looked at the boundless black and white Spiritual Energy behind Mu Chen as his eyes slightly narrowed. Although the latter's Spiritual Energy didn't seem to have anything special about it, he could faintly sense some unusual fluctuations coming from it.
Furthermore, his Wind Spiritual Energy seemed to be in a state of turmoil at this moment. From the looks of it, it seemed as though it had encountered a great enemy.
"The Spiritual Energy that Mu Chen cultivates seems to be unusual as well?"
This thought flashed within Liu Qingyun's heart. However, he immediately suppressed it. At this moment, he couldn't afford to think too much about it. He truly didn't believe that Mu Chen would be able to contend against the Wind Spiritual Energy of their Wind Spirit Clan!
"Regardless of what tricks you have up your sleeves, I'll definitely win this match!"
Liu Qingyun said in a solemn voice. In this match between the two groups, he was the most important one. That's because there was still Luo Li in Mu Chen's group. Therefore, she would definitely obtain victory. Although the others weren't too strong, their chances of victory weren't high. The youths by the name of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were extremely powerful. Therefore, unless he defeated Mu Chen, it would be impossible for his group to advance into the Top 4.
This match, he had to win it!
At this moment, Liu Qingyun's gaze turned completely solemn. Exhaling a mouthful of white mist, he abruptly formed seals with his hands. He couldn't hold back any longer!
"Mu Chen, if you have the ability, then try receiving this move of mine!"
Liu Qingyun's lightning-fast hand seals abruptly froze. In that instant, the torrential green Spiritual Energy behind him abruptly swept out. The green Spiritual Energy seemed to have transformed into countless beams of light that shot out. In the sky before him, they formed into a massive and complicated light rune that was roughly a thousand feet in size. From the looks of it, those light runes seemed to be a Spiritual Array. However, there weren't any fluctuations of a Spiritual Array.
"Pfft."
A mouthful of Blood Essence spurted out from Liu Qingyun's mouth and shot into the massive light array.
"Divine Wind Art, please summon the Shadow of the Wind Ancestor!"
With a solemn expression, Liu Qingyun knelt down towards the massive light array in the sky.
Buzz!
Buzz! As Liu Qingyun knelt down, violent gales suddenly blew in this region. Everyone was shocked to see huge tornadoes forming in the sky as they wreaked havoc in this region, unleashing dreadful destructive power.
Mu Chen's gaze was tightly locked onto the interior of the gigantic light array. At that location, an azure light suddenly soared into the sky. Within the azure light, an incomparably gigantic azure light figure was actually slowly condensing at this moment.
Along with the appearance of the azure light figure, an indescribable pressure abruptly spread throughout this region.
Up in the sky, the Deans of the Spiritual Academies couldn't help having a change in their faces. Some of them fixed their gazes on the azure light figure as their gazes fluctuated and muttered, "He's actually able to summon the Spiritual Shadow of the Wind Spirit Clan's Ancestor, the Wind Ancestor. That brat named Hokuang Reiwon is going to be in trouble."
