That guy is strong!

Lan Tianqi had to possess remarkable fighting experience to be able to become a top Saint figure. So, from their brief exchange, he already grasped that his opponent was difficult to deal with.

However, he couldnt understand when such a powerful figure appeared in the Southern Sea.

Why had he never heard about him before?

However, he didn't have time to think about it. For his second move, he brought out his own weapon. A blade enveloped in shining silvery thunderbolts.

Thunder Devourer Blade!

A powerful ancient treasure imbued with the power of the silver thunder and filled with a destructive aura. The blade was well-known within the entire Southern Sea.

This was because it was an ancestral weapon of the clan that Lan Tianqi belonged to. Rumor had it that the blade had been stained with the blood of a real Saint in ancient times and contained boundless powers.

Lan Tianqi actually intends to use that secret treasure!

Everyone in the hall was shocked to see Lan Tianqi bring out such a weapon because it indicated that the teenager was strong enough for him to regard as a true enemy.

However, they were more shocked to see that Lin Xun was still fighting barehanded.

Could he be so confident that he could defeat Lan Tianqi without relying on any weapons or treasures?

Everyone shivered inwardly.

They didnt know that Lin Xun was also bare-handed when he had defeated Niu Tuntian and the other three saints in the ancient training hall in the Deva Secret Realm!

At that time, he was only at the initial Heaven Ascension Stage, but now, he had reached the mid-Heaven Ascension Stage and his strength had been transformed once again.

Thunderbolt Obliteration! Lan Tianqi roared, new thunderbolts springing out from his tongue.

A glinting blade appeared out of nowhere, flashing across the air and pulverizing the surrounding space.

It looked as though a thunderbolt was descending from the sky, trying to destroy the world!

Everyone felt their blood freeze, and their breathing almost stopped from the terrifying destructive aura. They knew quite well that they wouldnt be able to evade or block if they were in Lin Xuns place.

Even Qing Yunyang, who had the utmost confidence in Lin Xun, couldnt stay calm. He knew Lan Tianqi very well. He might be ruthless and violent, but his strength in battle was unquestionable.

As a top supreme saint, he was a fierce character who struck terror into everyone of his generation in the Southern Sea.

Now, he was attacking with all his strength, bringing out secret treasures, and activating secret arts. Who could remain calm in the face of such a domineering stance?

How would Lin Xunbe able to survive?

Bang!

Contrary to everyones expectations, Lin Xun just took a step forward. His black hair fluttered around him, and his face was devoid of emotion. He didnt strike back in the face of such a terrifying blow.

One step!

However, there was an impassioned dragon roar followed by a realistic-looking snow-white Hornless Ice Dragon raising its head skywards, emitting an indescribable ancient aura.

It was as though a true ancient beast had emerged in the world. It was as dazzling as snow and ice and exuded an imposing and majestic bearing like it looked over all living beings.

Everyones faces blanched, and a feeling of unease flooded their hearts. All of them were intimidated by the aura released from the Hornless Ice Dragon.

Roar!

The dragon soared into the sky. As its icy body coiled around in the air, it crushed the thunderbolt blade shadow into a shower of light.

Boom!

At the same time, Lan Tianqis body trembled violently as though struck by lightning and the Thunder Devourer Blade buzzed endlessly and almost flew out of his grip.

His expression dramatically changed, turning unprecedentedly grave. He was facing the greatest enemy among his peers!

Ever since he started cultivating, he had competed against many top saints and young geniuses, but he had never encountered one as terrifying as the teenager opposite him!

The teenager was akin to an abyssunfathomable and unpredictable.

He felt like he was facing a king. His opponents strength was unbelievably strong despite his calm bearing.

The rest of the audience stood rooted to the spot like clay sculptures. Even Luo Ya, Wei Cang and Lai Yunshen, who were previously defeated by Lin Xun, were paralyzed with terror!

They couldnt believe that Lin Xun still retained so much strength even if he had defeated them all in one move!

If he hadnt held back his strength

They shuddered all over at the deadly consequences and didnt dare to think about it anymore.

Its no wonder that all those old monsters and remarkable figures of the younger generation call him the demon god youngster... Qing Yunyang clenched his fists, excitement fluttering inside him.

An expert! He is a true expert! He can crush everything with his strength no matter whether his enemies have grasped thousands of cultivation arts or mastered millions of secret techniques.

This is the last strike. I wont hold back my strength! Lan Tianqi drew a deep breath, eyes blazing with determination and madness.

His power suddenly changed. It steadily rose like a storm, growing stronger and more terrifying. Flashes of thunder enveloped his entire body like liquid, blinding everyone's eyes.

Boom!

Amidst a deafening roar, everyone sensed that Lan Tianqi had broken through to the next cultivation stage!

He had leapt from the mid-Heaven Ascension Stage to the upper Heaven Ascension Stage, and his strength had undergone a transformation!

I, Lan Tianqi, have been polishing my foundation and suppressing my cultivation stage to achieve a perfect great dao path for when I compete for the great dao in the future. Today, you are very lucky. You witnessed my little change on this road in person.

Lan Tianqis expression was dark and callous, and his eyes were swirling with thunderstorms. His overbearing presence filled the hall and made everyone feel suffocating.

However, you are also unlucky because the third blow will determine the outcome of the showdown. And youare destined to die at my hands! The cold and murderous voice reverberated in the hall.

Lan Tianqis expression was unusually calm and tinged with absolute superiority that had never been seen before.

That was the bearing of a top supreme saint. They had invincible confidence in their own dao path, a common characteristic of true experts.

They might have different personalities and different styles of operation, but they all shared the same extraordinary persistence and confidence in their own dao paths.

Everyone trembled inwardly, intimidated and subdued by the terrifying power.

You can say that after you block my attack. Lin Xuns dark eyes glinted coldly.

It wasnt until that moment that his interest in the battle was piqued.

Boom!

This time, he was the first to attack. He threw a punch.

It was simple, direct and ordinary, yet it contained the power to reach into peoples hearts, penetrate time and space, and shake the sky!

That was the true essence of battle. It was integrated into the wonderful meaning of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art.

The greatest music had the faintest notes; the greatest form had no shape..

The punch was the same. It displayed no flashy or showy movements nor were there any splendid or earthshaking scenes.

However, as the fist blasted out, the air crumbled like canvas and all scenes collapsed. Only his fist remained in the world.

That

The power of the punch had completely drowned everyones heart. They could no longer see everything except an intense aura of death.

They were only spectators, but even so, the punch had a tremendous impact on them.

Imaginably, the punch was terrifying.

Lan Tianqis face also paled, and his mind was unable to shake the power of the punch. He believed that he could easily suppress Lin Xun after his breakthrough.

But when he faced the punch, he realized that he was wrong, outrageously wrong!

His hair stood on end. It was an instinctive reaction to danger. Even his spirit, fighting will and state of mind were affected.

For the first time in his life, he felt a strong urge to avoid battling and flee for his life!

Was that a power that someone at the Heaven Ascension Stage could possess?

Everything seemed to happen slowly, but actually it happened extremely quickly, so fast that Lan Tianqi had no time to think about it.

It was the third strike!

How could he evade the attack and break the agreement?

Die! Lan Tianqi roared in fury, mobilizing every shred of power within his body and instilling it into his blade.

He decided to go all out, even at the risk of his life.

His blade slashed forward.

Instantly, he felt his body hollowing out. He knew that erupting with all his strength would bring considerable damage to his body given the fact that he had only made a breakthrough moments ago.

But

It was worth it if he could defeat his opponent!

However, as they collided, he found that he was wrong...

Boom!

A vast explosion of divine brilliance smashed all the decorative items in the hall into smithereens and blasted many nearby cultivators across the hall before they could evade.

It was as though a devastating storm had swept the area.

Thud!

When the rumble subsided and all the smoke and dust dissipated, Lan Tianqi collapsed to the ground on his knees like a mountain.

He was trembling and violently coughing up blood. His face was pale to the point of transparent, and his body was incredibly weak and verging on death.

Everyones eyes were wide with horror and their teeth were tightly clenched. One punch! Lan Tianqi, a top supreme saint, was completely suppressed!

Lin Xun again was still standing tall, his clothes untainted by a speck of dust. He had an air of superiority and calmness around him like a king looking over the world.

Iactuallylost Lan Tianqi cried hoarsely, as though he couldnt accept the defeat.

He knelt there blankly and happened to be facing Qing Yunyang.

All of a sudden, he felt everything darken before him.

Who are you? Why...why are you so strong?

After a long moment, he barely managed to raise his eyes to look at Lin Xun, only to find that the battlefield was already empty. The teenager and Qing Yunyang had already left.

I dont even know his name...this defeat...is so tragic Lan Tianqi murmured, his voice echoing the deep sorrow and frustration in his heart.

Everyone in the hall was silent and donned cloudy expressions. They couldnt calm the rioting emotions in their hearts.

They looked at Lan Tianqi and couldnt help but sympathize with him.

A high and mighty saint whom everyone regarded as remarkable had suffered such a pitiful defeat!

And all that was thanks to one punch!

Who was that teenager?
