Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Terrifying Legacy_1

Bai Feifei was defeated by Tantai Lingzi and ended up ranking third.

However, the nightmare was far from over.

Afterwards, Leng Hao successively defeated Yue Ren and Bai Feifei, rising to third among the top ten core disciples.

This young man, whose cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer, had defeated Bai Feifei so thoroughly that she had no fight left in her, concluding the battle within a hundred moves.

Dai Yuling directly challenged Yue Ren and won, only to be narrowly defeated by Bai Feifei. After all, combat was not her forte. Defeating Yue Ren and achieving the rank of fifth among the top ten core disciples was already quite an accomplishment for her.

Shangguan Lei then defeated the once-unstoppable prodigy Ming Tian, securing the seventh position.

Ming Tian ranked eighth.

Under Ling Xiao’s guidance, Zhao Zhi successfully obtained the ninth rank among the top ten core disciples.

It was as if he had leapt over the Dragon Gate in just three days.

Meng Yuan was squeezed out of the ranks of the top ten core disciples, furious to the point of breathing fire.

Yet the rankings of the top ten core disciples had not settled.

Because there was still one person who had not made a move, and that was Ling Xiao!

It was known that apart from Lan Yu’er, everyone among the top ten core disciples had either been defeated by Ling Xiao or had been personally trained by him.

Once this terrifying individual made a move, no one could predict the extent of the upheaval that would ensue.

For this reason, within the sect, many disciples eagerly anticipated Ling Xiao’s participation.

They believed that once Ling Xiao took action, his prowess would be resounding and would silence those who had looked down on him once and for all.

Of course, there were also some who thought that Ling Xiao eliminated several strong competitors in the Moon Blossom Pagoda because of the terrain, claiming the young man had concocted a scheme.

Even now, some suspected that the Moon Blossom Fairy had tampered with the outcome.

Some went even further, speculating that Ling Xiao might well be a descendant of the Moon Blossom Fairy, who had personally intervened in the previous trial to help him, thus allowing Ling Xiao to achieve such impressive results.

Regardless of whether they were favorable towards Ling Xiao or not, it was certain that Ling Xiao would definitely make a move, and once he did, the situation would become very clear.

...

At a location within the Moon Hua Sect.

The former Supreme Head Teacher Chang Yueli, former Head of the Enforcement Hall Elder Jin, Demonflame Celestial, as well as the current Head of the Enforcement Hall Chang Yueying, were seated around a round table.

Off in the distance, a battle was underway.

One side of the battle was Tantai Lingzi, who had just defeated Bai Feifei to secure the second rank among the core disciples.

The other side consisted of four individuals: Bai Feifei, Ming Tian, Yue Ren, and Meng Yuan.

Bai Feifei was Chang Yueli’s disciple, Ming Tian and Meng Yuan were disciples of the Demonflame Celestial, and Yue Ren was a newly accepted disciple of Elder Jin.

Tantai Lingzi was Chang Yueying’s disciple.

Their sparring was clearly not about winning or losing, but rather about supporting Tantai Lingzi in making a breakthrough, to better inherit the Martial Soul Legacy of the Spider Goddess Queen, and thereby suppress Ling Xiao.

”Tantai, listen closely. Right now, the four of us can’t take action; otherwise, we’re sure to invite a deadly disaster. But it’s different for you. You and Ling Xiao are both disciples of the Moon Hua Sect, of comparable status. If you can utterly defeat Ling Xiao, someone with such strong pride, they will quickly crumble,” Chang Yueying said.

Although Chang Yueying had outwardly accepted the position of Head of the Enforcement Hall, her heart was far from calm, and she even harbored great resentment.

Otherwise, she would not have conspired with the other three.

In the fighting, energy surged, wild winds erupted, and waves of True Essence collided in the air, then shattered, blowing the surrounding stones and trees to fragments.

Tantai Lingzi’s face was cold and beautiful, and the huge, eerie shadow behind her struck fear into onlookers.

It was a monster with a vibrant human face, yet the body of a spider.

And that was Tantai Lingzi’s Martial Soul—the Spider Goddess Queen.

With the full support of Chang Yueying, she had already attained a thirty percent understanding of the Spider Goddess Queen’s inheritance. During battle, strands of silver silk would appear in the air.

However, this kind of silver silk could not be seen at all unless one’s cultivation level reached a certain degree and their eyesight was exceptionally outstanding.

Each strand of silver silk possessed the power to destroy Precious Treasure Artifacts.

With her strength at ten percent of a Half-step Celestial, Tantai Lingzi’s power was terrifying to the extreme. She could instantly riddle her opponents with holes.

If it weren’t for the fact that the four people opposite her were not enemies, they probably would have been stung like a hornet’s nest by now.

”Yueying, this Spider Goddess Queen Martial Soul is indeed worthy of the Ancient Martial Soul inheritance. It is not the slightest bit inferior to Dai Yuling’s Ancient Gourd Vine Martial Spirit, and Ling Xiao’s Black Dragon Martial Soul inheritance and Zhao Zhi’s Black Winged Roc Martial Soul seem to be slightly inferior in comparison,” said Chang Yueli, smiling.

”At this rate, your clever disciple might well become invincible among the Moon Hua Sect’s disciples as long as she can integrate more than fifty percent of this inheritance. That Ling Xiao may look arrogant now, but his potential for development is far inferior to hers,” she continued.

”Indeed, it’s frightening!”

The Demonflame Celestial was also filled with emotion.

After all, the strength of the four people opposite was not negligible.

Bai Feifei had already recovered to ten percent of her Half-step Celestial Honored Realm, but in a one-on-one fight, she was completely no match for Tantai Lingzi.

Yue Ren was a Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Peak Martial Artist, and his strength was also considerable.

Meng Yuan was a Martial Artist of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer Intermediate Stage.

Ming Tian’s cultivation level had reached the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer Late Stage.

Yet, even when these four joined forces, they were completely suppressed by Tantai Lingzi.

At this time, Tantai Lingzi’s cultivation level was at ten percent Half-step Celestial, and she had already achieved Perfection at this power level; what she needed to break through to the next stage was stimulation.

And this spar was specifically prepared for her.

The four who were fighting against her were all incredibly shocked in their hearts.

Bai Feifei, in particular, felt that even if she returned to her peak state, she would most likely not be Tantai Lingzi’s opponent at her current stage.

This woman was too terrifying, not only in terms of strength but also because her mind was exceedingly meticulous.

During combat, her use of techniques was virtually flawless, always managing to strike the perfect balance, using the least energy to execute the most appropriate attacks.

This inevitably reminded people of Ling Xiao.

Although Tantai Lingzi and Ling Xiao were enemies, and their personalities were quite different, they shared almost equally horrifying talent in combat.

Logically, the four of them joining forces should have been able to bring down a general Half-step Celestial instantly, even kill them.

But they had been attacking for quite some time now, and they hadn’t even touched the hem of Tantai Lingzi’s robe.

Often, just coming within three to five meters of Tantai Lingzi would result in a terrifying counterattack, leaving them injured instead.

Around Tantai Lingzi, there seemed to be an invisible spider web, dense and vast. Whoever approached it would be unlucky.

”That’s about enough!”

Suddenly, Tantai Lingzi’s eyes shone with a sharp light.

”A Thousand Silken Threads!”

She lightly waved her hands, and the true essence ripples around her began to vibrate. A massive spider web formed and moved directly towards Bai Feifei and the other three.

This terrifying true essence spider web seemed slow but was in fact incredibly fast and filled with profound and fearsome true essence power.

Before it even closed in, Meng Yuan felt his blood churn and fainted to the ground.

The remaining three were stuck in midair by this force, unable to retreat or advance, and they could also feel their body’s true essence being continually siphoned through the web into Tantai Lingzi’s body.
