Flames tore through the sky, dazzling golden light!
Gu Qin and Ling Xiao hadn't deduced the power of the world, but the resulting shockwaves were terrifying.
No one had expected that Ling Xiao could fight with a Mystic Thearch so fiercely.
The faces of the Gu Family's people and Wu Fu turned ashen.
The more powerful Ling Xiao was, the more likely it was that things would change today.
"Haha, good, good … How delightful. I didn't expect you to have such strength. You can be said to be invincible under the Emperor Rank, but today, you will still lose!" Gu Qin laughed a few times, and the aura of the Emperor Rank was fully displayed.
A large area of the world's power covered the sky above the Gu Family's residence.
Gu Qin's generous world was actually a world of fire lotuses. Each of the fire lotuses had six petals, and the crystal clear petals flickered with the fiery light of energy. At the heart of the fire lotuses, there were strange tongues of fire, as if they could rush out at any time and cause great damage.
When this world appeared, the sky above the Gu Family's residence turned crimson, and the intense heat made some of the Gu Family's disciples almost unable to bear it.
"If you have the guts, then fight with me!"
Gu Qin naturally didn't want the Gu Family's buildings to be destroyed by him. He shouted at Ling Xiao and took the lead to fly towards the mountain range outside the valley.
"Why would this young master be afraid of you!"
Ling Xiao was full of fighting spirit. Balls of spiritual energy constantly washed around his body, and the Glass Dragon Scale Armor revolved around his body. He turned into a rainbow as he chased after Gu Qin.
At the same time, Ling Xiao had already begun to slowly deduce the power of his world.
The primordial world was full of vitality and a primitive aura. The trees, the flowers, the grass, the beasts … all of them displayed the flourishing age of the primordial era.
The roars of beasts echoed for thousands of miles, like the descent of divine punishment.
The spirit beasts in the mountain range were so frightened that they crawled on the ground, not daring to move.
"There's something strange about this kid. His aura has actually surpassed that of an ordinary peak Empyrean. Interesting!" Gu Qin felt Ling Xiao's rising aura and thought excitedly.
Although Gu Qin was a Rank Seven Alchemist, he similarly had a bellicose heart.
Now that he saw that although Ling Xiao only had the strength of a mid-level Heavenly Venerable, his battle prowess was beyond his expectations. It was just the right thing to do.
"Alright, let's stop here. Kid, don't say that I'm bullying the young!"
Gu Qin stopped and turned around to speak to Ling Xiao. When he saw Ling Xiao's world energy, his eyes widened. "What kind of world energy is this?"
This was the first time he had seen such a strange World Energy. It looked very peaceful, but it contained an aura that made others feel fear. Even though he was at the Emperor Realm, he felt the pressure from this World Energy greatly increase. It was as if the person in front of him wasn't a Heavenly Venerate, but the Mystic Emperor, who was at the same level as him.
"Don't say that I don't know how to respect the old and love the young!" Ling Xiao said faintly as a golden dragon-shaped spear appeared in his hand.
In the next moment, his aura reached its peak. With a loud shout, his entire body deduced a Small Universe and collided with Gu Qin.
"Bring it on! Let me have a quick battle today!" Gu Qin's battle intent soared. With a loud shout, he also charged towards Ling Xiao.
Rumble! Rumble!
Violent sounds of energy colliding rang out high up in the sky.
Countless elemental abilities rained down, and the mountain ridges below were riddled with holes. The trees, spirit grasses, and spirit beasts were all reduced to dust.
High up in the sky, countless tree vines, icicles, and chilly winds tangled with the fire lotuses.
The fire lotuses burned the tree vines and icicles to ashes, but the chilly winds sliced many of the fire lotuses into countless pieces. However, there were so many fire lotuses that they could be broken and reborn at any moment, bursting with astonishing flames that seemed capable of burning the sky and evaporating the sea.
Ever since Ling Xiao had deduced the power of worlds, this was the first time he'd felt so oppressed. His sea of knowledge was shaken to the point it shook incessantly, and the blood within his body roiled from the pressure.
"As expected, there really is a huge gap between the Emperor Rank and Quasi Emperor Rank!" Ling Xiao showed no intention of backing down. Instead, his dragon eyes were filled with excitement.
As the countless fire lotuses compressed his body smaller and smaller, a series of earth-shattering beast roars resounded in the surroundings!
As the sound waves resounded, the countless fire lotuses scattered in all directions.
"What's that!?" Gu Qin's eyes twitched incessantly as if something that terrified him had appeared.
Suddenly, over a dozen mutated Three-Eyed Wind Wolves appeared in front of him. Behind them were two even more terrifying figures. Shockingly, they were a Golden True Dragon and a Blue Qilin.
The Wolf King howled, the Golden Dragon roared, and the Qilin burned the sky!
Over a dozen ferocious Wolf Kings pounced towards Gu Qin, while the Golden Dragon and Qilin closed in from behind. The surrounding fire lotuses couldn't stop them at all.
Gu Qin was astonished. "Could this be the power of a high-grade Spirit Realm World?
No … it's definitely above the Spirit Realm. Otherwise, how could it possibly resist the power of my world? Very good, it looks like I'll have to go all out! "
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands moved incessantly in a profound manner. It was as if he was forming lotus flowers, and it looked extremely strange.
Within the power of his world, the fire lotuses started to move incessantly. One by one, they converged into a sea of fire lotuses, and then a fire lotus with 36 petals that was like a mountain appeared.
Fire Lotus Burns the Sky!
The huge fire lotus pressed down towards the Wind Wolves, Golden Dragon, and Qilin. The raging flames seemed like they could burn the sky and steam the sea, and the majestic power was truly earth-shattering.
Ling Xiao realized that Gu Qin had already gone all out, so he didn't dare to hold back any longer.
He brandished his golden spear, and his Spiritual Realm began to control the power of his world to fully erupt.
Tree Twist, Ice Thorns, Wind Cut, Wolf Howl, Dragon's Roar, Qilin Flame … Everything in this Desolate World was bombarding each other with all kinds of terrifying power. Among them, the strong corrosive wind and the heavenly fire from the volcano were the most terrifying.
The two worlds collided with each other without holding anything back. It was as if this world was going to be torn apart, and the mountain ridges below were all flattened.
After an unknown period of time, the Fire Lotus World, which had always had the upper hand, began to show signs of collapsing, while the Desolate World was still being maintained. However, its power had become several times weaker than before.
The two silhouettes separated, and both of them were sent flying far away by the other's strength.
Ling Xiao retreated more than a hundred meters, his face extremely pale, and he gasped for breath. His Glazed Dragon Scale Armor had also become cracked, and traces of golden blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he had suffered a serious injury.
However, he had the recovery power of the Ancient Emperor Divine Technique, so it wouldn't take long for his injuries to stabilize.
On the other hand, Gu Qin looked even more miserable than Ling Xiao.
Although he had only retreated a few dozen meters, his clothes had been blasted to pieces, and his body, which was full of vitality, was also covered with many scars. More than half of his white hair had been burned off, making him look extremely comical.
Ling Xiao obviously didn't want to give Gu Qin any chance to catch his breath, and he began to brandish the Golden Dragon spear in his hand.
The terrifying Golden Dragon descended from the sky and blasted towards Gu Qin.
Gu Qin was shocked. "How can he still have such powerful combat power!?"
A fire sword appeared in his hand, and a strong fiery light slashed towards the Golden Dragon.
However, Ling Xiao's powerful moves were endless, and every move had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, causing Gu Qin to have a hard time blocking them. His body was forced to retreat repeatedly by Ling Xiao.
The people from the Gu Family, Wu Fu's master, Ye Yunfeng, Liu Qun, Li Xue, and the others who had just rushed over revealed expressions of extreme shock.
"How is this possible? Ancestor, he … He was actually forced to retreat?"
"This is too terrifying. Unless Ancestor Gu Kui is here, our Gu Family will fall here today."
"It's said that Ancestor Gu Kui has already gone out to travel for many years. Unless our Gu Family faces a great calamity of life and death, he will never return. How could he possibly appear?"
"Who exactly is that young man? To actually have such terrifying battle prowess, when did our Gu Family provoke such a great enemy!?"
… ….
"I don't want to fight anymore. This old man admits defeat!" Gu Qin was forced by Ling Xiao to the point where he had no strength to retaliate. Finally, he could not help but admit defeat.
When Ling Xiao heard Gu Qin admit defeat, he let out a heavy sigh and retreated a hundred meters away. He immediately stuffed a few pills into his mouth.
He had used all his strength to fight Gu Qin head-on, but he was also exhausted. If Gu Qin had been able to hold on for a little longer, the one who would have lost would have been him.
"Senior, thank you for letting me win!" Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"So you have also reached your limit. This old man has suffered a great loss. If this old man had held on for a little longer, the one who would have lost would have been you!" Gu Qin could feel that Ling Xiao's aura had greatly decreased and immediately cried out with emotion.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you try again, Senior?"
Now that he had taken the pill, it was not enough for the two divine arts in his body to be instantly digested. His battle prowess had recovered a bit, which was why he dared to say that.
Gu Qin waved his hand and said, "This old man is afraid of you. It's really like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves of the old!"
"Since that's the case, then this junior will take my people away." Ling Xiao said indifferently.
He believed that with his current battle prowess, he had already shocked many people. It was even more impossible for the Gu Clan to easily offend him.
"Little friend, don't be anxious. Why don't you follow this old man back to my Gu Clan's inner courtyard first? When I find out the truth, I will naturally give you a clear answer." Gu Qin slowed down his tone and said.
Right now, he could only rope in this young man in front of him. He absolutely could not offend him. Otherwise, if this young man continued to grow, their Gu Clan would suffer a calamity in the future.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned to the Gu Clan's inner courtyard with Gu Qin.
Of course, the other spectators immediately followed him back.
After Gu Qin returned to the Gu Clan's inner courtyard, he immediately asked Gu Xu to explain the whole story.
At this time, Gu Qin finally understood the whole story.
"Ancestor, the Pill Competition is around the corner. Without Qi Tong's help, it will be very difficult for us to defend our top ten positions!" Gu Fen said bitterly.
