The moment the elder left the ring, all the chaos in the outside world became extremely distant in Shen Ran’s ears.
He stood calmly in the ring and looked coldly at Wang Qingxuan.
He understood that this would be the strongest opponent he had encountered since he started to cultivate.
Perhaps it would also be the toughest battle.
But Shen Ran would not back down.
He recalled the scenes from the past.
Because he had offended Wang Qingxuan, he was demoted to a servant disciple of the Ninth Summit.
On another occasion when he was hunting the ferocious beast, the Cloud Leopard, he accidentally encountered Wang Qingxuan’s follower and learned the secret of the Blood Cloud Powder, causing Wang Qingxuan to plan to silence him.
These scenes appeared in his mind and he remembered them vividly.
Glancing at Shen Ran indifferently, Wang Qingxuan stood there calmly. His gaze was like a knife, cold and sharp, filled with killing intent.
He had never expected this man with no power at that time to have grown to this extent after a few months.
Even Shangguan You, whose combat strength was comparable to the Illumination Realm, was not his match!
This growth speed had indeed exceeded Wang Qingxuan’s expectations.
Therefore, for the sake of the Demon Sect and himself, he was prepared to destroy Shen Ran’s soul in today’s match.
Their staring match ended.
In an instant, Wang Qingxuan moved first.
He raised his right hand and waved it. A 100-foot-tall fire dragon immediately circled the sky above the ring and rushed towards Shen Ran.
Seeing this, Shen Ran’s eyes lit up. He had nothing to say in this life-and-death battle with Wang Qingxuan.
All the words were in his divine power.
He took a step forward, raised his right hand, and slashed out with a sharp sword light.
The sharp sword light collided violently with the fire dragon in front of him, causing a thunderclap.
Countless hot flames were sent flying by the shockwave.
“Boom!!!”
After this probing attack ended, neither side stood still.
However, the pressure in the air became stronger and stronger!!!
Wang Qingxuan’s strength rose steadily. In an instant, he went from the third level of the Illumination Realm to the fourth level of the Illumination Realm!
Although there was a magic array separating them from the ring, this terrifying pressure still made the surrounding disciples in the square feel like a huge mountain was pressing down on them!I
It was so heavy that they could barely breathe!!
Meanwhile, Shen Ran no longer hid his cultivation.
He formed a seal with his hands, and countless explosions sounded in his body.
His aura instantly reached the third level of the Illumination Realm!
A terrifying pressure swept through the entire square!
“Hiss… Senior Brother Wang Qingxuan is indeed worthy of being a Dao Seed of the sect. He actually broke through to the fourth level of the Illumination Realm!”
“Damn!! Is Senior Brother Shen Ran actually at the third level of the Illumination Realm too?!”
“In just a few months, he went from a servant disciple to an Illumination Realm expert?”
“…”
Countless people cried out in alarm, making quite a racket in the entire square.
Even the many elders on the platform were a little shocked.
Wan Ziling’s pupils constricted.
That’s where your confidence comes from!
In a few months, you went from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Illumination Realm!
The cultivation fluctuations revealed by Shen Ran made Wan Ziling deeply regret her past decision!
If she had been able to withstand the pressure from Wang Qingxuan back then, Shen Ran would still be a disciple of the Ninth Summit!
Unfortunately, there was no if…
The Eighth Summit’s Peak Master, Luo Qifeng, who had thought that Shen Ran was a useless fellow, had his eyes and mouth wide open. His hair even trembled in excitement.
That’s where your confidence comes from!
So even I didn’t know that you were hiding your cultivation…
Luo Qifeng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Is the clown actually me?!
Shen Ran and the other man in the ring did not know about the various discussions in the outside world.
Wang Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, which emitted a strong killing intent.
Third level of the Illumination Realm… So this is your confidence!
It had only been a short period of time, but Shen Ran had already grown to such an extent?!
If he gave the other party time, even he might not be able to reach it!
It’s not like I haven’t killed an Illumination Realm Dao Seed before!
The higher the cultivation level, the harder it was to challenge those of a higher level!
Just like the third and fourth levels of the Illumination Realm.
They were only a small realm apart!
This gap was an insurmountable gap!
Except for those true geniuses!
Ordinary people were not qualified to challenge those at a higher level!!
“Shen Ran! Today is the day you die!”
After he sneered, he raised his right hand sharply and casually pointed at Shen Ran!
In an instant, the colors of the world changed, and a shocking aura instantly gathered above the ring.
An illusory finger that was dozens of feet long which seemed to pierce through the sky rushed towards Shen Ran at an extremely fast speed!
Seeing this, Shen Ran suddenly raised his hand and slashed out countless sword lights!
The sword light carried an overflowing sword intent, as if even the void would be cut apart, and it ruthlessly slashed at that finger!
“Boom!!!”
The loud bang shook the entire ring square!!
Dozens of sword lights collided with Wang Qingxuan’s finger mark in midair!
Amidst this huge bang, the two of them attacked again!!
The surging magic powers collided, causing a violent wave to rise in the ring.
A loud bang echoed. Wang Qingxuan sneered, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.
He formed a seal with his right hand and pointed at the void. Immediately, a vortex appeared around his body.
As the vortex appeared, a low roar that shook the surroundings came from it.
It was as if something was trying to climb out of this vortex!
