Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The golden giant stood tall, seeming to hold up the heavens, exuding a colossal and tyrannical aura!

Within the giant, the crowd could vaguely make out a white-robed figure, projecting an aura of unprecedented power!

Before, though Ye Wushuang’s performance had repeatedly stunned the crowd, they believed third place was more than enough for him. They had never imagined he could actually contend with Beize Yunzhuo.

But now, everything came as a surprise. Ye Wushuang had long been prepared; he had hidden a portion of his Cultivation.

Even when facing the crowd’s scorn, he offered no rebuttal. He didn’t reveal his true strength to prove himself, instead enduring until the very end. His ambition had always been to claim first place on the Barbarian God Battle Platform!

Now, that fearsome Dragon Blood Battle Saber, which seemed capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, had severed the True Dragon’s tail and wounded the Demon Fiend Beize Yunzhuo, completely unleashing his power.

Though he was only at the Spiritual Spring Third Layer, his terrifying power made everyone tremble with fear!

In that instant, the Cyan Race Patriarch, the Di Family Head, the Fiery Sun Sect Master, and all the others who bore a grudge against Ye Wushuang stared intently at the golden giant on the Battle Platform. They trembled from head to toe, body and soul, and their eyes narrowed.

Only now did they truly understand just how terrifying Ye Wushuang was!

The enmity between them and Ye Wushuang was to the death. ’If Ye Wushuang wins this and gets his hands on the opportunity, his Cultivation will skyrocket. It’ll be child’s play for him to kill us then.’ The thought sent a bone-deep chill through their bodies.

Every single one of them longed to kill Ye Wushuang, to eradicate him completely.

But they couldn’t. All they could do was watch from the Battle Platform as Ye Wushuang ascended to the Peak, step by step!

And now, he was contending with Beize Yunzhuo, and after that, he would challenge Wudao for first place!

ROAR! ROAR!

The four True Spirit Divine Beasts took up positions in four directions, glaring at Ye Wushuang and roaring without end. The endless Divine Beast aura they exuded roiled the Firmament and shook the heavens, and everyone present felt a powerful suppressive pressure.

”Ye Wushuang, this must be your final resort! Let’s put it to the test and see whether my True Spirits are mightier, or your Giant Spirit is stronger!”

The voices of the four great beasts, speaking in a human tongue, echoed from all directions.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The deafening sound of their stomping feet shook the sky like thunder.

The Divine Phoenix spat out a spreading Divine Flame, seeming to scorch the Firmament red.

The True Dragon swept out for ten thousand feet, the White Tiger descended from the sky, and the Black Tortoise roared. A terrifying, world-shattering aura compressed around the golden giant, threatening to engulf and obliterate it!

’All four beasts are attacking at once! This power... it’s horrifying!’ The hearts of the crowd trembled. Even from a distance, the power of the Divine Beasts was so shocking it felt suffocating!

”With my body alone, I will suppress ten thousand beasts!”

But the golden giant showed no fear. It opened its mouth, and a roiling wave of golden energy erupted, colliding with the sky full of Divine Flame.

”Break!”

The golden giant took a step forward, and the world trembled. A golden fist, wreathed in mysterious runes, smashed toward the Black Tortoise.

KABOOM!

The Black Tortoise shuddered violently and was sent flying. Its massive body slammed into the protective barrier, making the entire Barbarian God Battle Platform tremble.

ROAR!

The White Tiger and the True Dragon roared in unison. The tyrannical power of the dragon and tiger dominated the battlefield as they circled and attacked the giant. The terrifying power of the Divine Beasts pressed in relentlessly, as if to crush the golden giant, causing that section of the sky itself to collapse!

”Get lost!” The golden giant roared, its massive body spinning abruptly as golden light burst forth. ’Not even the heavens could restrain Pann Ancestor when he split the sky with his axe! How could four mere True Spirits possibly stand against me!’

KABOOM!

A hand shot out like it was plucking stars from the sky, seizing the True Dragon’s body and violently flinging it away.

The sheer force of the motion also sent the White Tiger reeling!

”One last strike!” Beize Yunzhuo roared. He felt utterly humiliated that all four of his True Spirits had failed to stop Ye Wushuang. The four manifested True Spirits shot up into the Firmament.

The four giant beasts fused into one!

Beize Yunzhuo unleashed all his power, a terrifying aura gathering and condensing until it formed four words: ”Heaven and Earth Lockdown!”

KABOOM!

The massive beast roared, and a sealing power radiated out, locking down heaven and earth!

The crowd’s eyes narrowed. This was Beize Yunzhuo’s ultimate attack, a strike powerful enough to contend with Wudao—one that had even wounded him.

KABOOM!

The golden giant’s body was gradually immobilized. The colossal beast’s body came crashing in like an Ancient Star, drawing ever closer!

The golden giant stood its ground, as if awaiting its destiny!

But...

...an invincible Saber Intent began to rise from the golden giant, causing the space around it to crumble.

CLANG!

A clear, ringing sound cut through the cacophony of roars. The Dragon Blood Battle Saber was raised, expanding countless times in size until it looked like a blade that could smite the very heavens!

”World—Destruction!”

As the two words were spoken, a dazzling, blood-red light burst forth!

As an aura of World Destruction rose between heaven and earth, the very lockdown imprisoning them seemed to disintegrate.

A streak of blood-red light bloomed, growing ever brighter in the eyes of the spectators. It transformed into a crimson curtain that sliced open the void, cleaved through the colossal beast, and stretched to the Firmament, as if to split heaven and earth in two!

Blood-red light shrouded everything!

There was no cataclysmic explosion, only the Saber Intent of World Destruction whistling through the void. It sent a chill through everyone’s heart. That aura of World Destruction was so cold it pierced their very souls, filling them with a sense of despair and imminent death!

One slash for World Destruction!

Even the roars of the beast stopped abruptly!

After a long while, everything fell silent.

A figure in white stood quietly in the very center of the Battle Platform.

His eyes were as cold as ever, just like the Dragon Blood Battle Saber in his hand, exuding a suffocating pressure!

Opposite him, Beize Yunzhuo, also clad in white, stood perfectly still.

The crowd stared intently at the two combatants. The battle was over, but who had won and who had lost? They didn’t know.

The bloody light had been too blinding. When it all happened, their vision was filled with nothing but endless crimson, obscuring the final result!

”Look!”

Suddenly, a sharp gasp erupted from the crowd. On Beize Yunzhuo’s chest, his white robes were slowly turning red as blood spread downward.

The crowd’s hearts trembled. Ye Wushuang’s slash had actually countered Beize Yunzhuo’s ultimate attack.

”Well?” Ye Wushuang stared at Beize Yunzhuo and said flatly, ”As it turns out, your pride is worthless. You’re just like Liuu Tianlan, full of empty boasts. In the end, you’re nothing but trash—just a slightly more powerful piece of trash. The ant you looked down on has defeated you!”

The ant you looked down on has defeated you!

Those quiet words made the crowd’s hearts tremble. Beize Yunzhuo had lost. In this battle, Ye Wushuang was the victor.

They gazed at the slender yet ramrod-straight figure in the center of the Battle Platform, who stood like a Heaven-Soaring Sword—sharp and untamed!

Only now did they notice his eyes. They were so profound, so ancient and weary.

Outsiders couldn’t perceive that trace of ancient weariness.

But...

...many from the Ancient Spirit Sect fell silent.

Something felt caught in their throats, leaving them speechless. ’Ye Wushuang won... but how much humiliation, how much ostracism did he have to endure to achieve this victory!’

His very gaze had been honed to a razor’s edge by his struggles!

Beize Yunzhuo glanced at the bloody wound on his chest, then turned and walked back to his original spot to begin healing. He didn’t say a word; he couldn’t even manage a rebuttal. His pride was worthless!

Ye Wushuang had proven with his actions that the real trash was Beize Yunzhuo himself!

Beize Yunzhuo had truly been defeated!

Beize Yunzhuo’s quiet retreat caused everyone to sigh inwardly once more. It all felt so surreal. The man destined for third place had defeated the man in second!

’So, is it time for first place next?’

First place: Wudao!

Ye Wushuang’s next opponent was Wudao. This would be a true battle at the Peak!
