ity.A deafening explosion, a flash of fire, and the shattering ice revealed the wide-eyed face of a monstrous creature, contorted in disbelief and fury. The hastily formed earthen shield proved useles...Cen Ye stood opposite Lu Xia Tian. Though he remained motionless, the air around him thrummed with the sound of surging waves.

The sound of the sea seemed to shake the heart, and those with a slightly weaker cultivation base couldn't help but be moved by the sound of the waves.

Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, and twelve crimson fire pillars still intertwined towards the opponent. At the same time, virtual space thunder interweaved, and five thunder species arrows directly turned into thunder, raging and surging between the crimson fire pillars.

Even before the crimson pillar of Xuanhuo came close enough to Cen Ye, Lu Xiaoteng frowned. He felt that Cen Ye's aura seemed unstable, but the other party's mood was extremely distant. This made Lu Xiaoteng inexplicably feel a sense of oppression.

"After this battle, this young friend will probably immediately rush to the Heavenly Fairy Realm, right Fellow Daoist Xuanhu, you guys really spared no effort to win." The Master of Rongxu Cave hadn't expected that what was originally supposed to be a competition between cultivators at the Profound Immortal realm would unexpectedly take another turn. It truly was strange how events kept unfolding one after another this year. Earlier, there was Lou Yikong who had stirred up the celestial fire, setting up the Star Puppet Demon Slaughter Formation. Once it was fully formed, its power would be almost as great as that of a Heavenly Immortal."

While Cen Ye at present is unable to ignite stars or wield the Star Puppet Demon-Slaying Array, his own potential remains formidable. He deliberately suppresses his cultivation base, and if he so chooses, could instantly surge into the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Such strength of a Xuanxian cannot be viewed with the same standard as ordinary Xuanxians.

Cen Ye's current breath fluctuations are quite large, which is why Xuanxian finds it even more difficult to fathom. For Tianxian, an unstable realm does have many flaws. But for Xuanxian below Tianxian, even if they occasionally notice the other party's flaws, they may not be able to easily seize the opportunity.

“The duel between the two sides only stipulated that they could not use fairy pets or treasures beyond the realm of Xuanxian. As for the cultivators' cultivation level, as long as they had not reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it would not be considered a violation. If Rongxu Cave Master felt he was at a disadvantage, he could choose someone from Honghao Heavenly Court to compete.”

Both parties had almost reached the point of no return, each desperately trying to defeat the other. At this point, Venerable Xuanhu addressed the master of Rongxu Cave with little politeness remaining in his tone.

"I'm afraid you might have calculated everything, but in the end, you'll end up losing more than you gain." The master of the Hanchi Palace said coldly. "Let me make it clear: If he doesn't break through to Heavenly Immortal during the competition, that's fine. But once he does, it will be a violation of the competition rules. If you don't stop us yourselves, we will."

“Don’t worry yourselves about this, just wait and see.” Xingyi City Lord laughed heartily. It wasn't surprising that Cen Ye was close to breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but his choice to loosen that barrier now meant he couldn't fully prepare for the Dao Base Realm until after the competition ended. This would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of his later breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but at least it added another variable for Lu Xia Tian in this competition.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoteng sensed something was amiss. He tried to retract the Xuanhuo Chizhu, but unexpectedly, a strange suction force from the opposite void pulled the Xuanhuo Chizhu into it as if being drawn in.

“Let me show you the power of my realm, the Whispering Waters.” Cen Ye’s long hair flew in the wind, his figure gradually fading before Lu Xiaotian’s eyes. In the void, only a faint shadow remained, like a water lily floating on the surface of a pool, forming a barrier between him and Lu Xiaotian.

Even though Lu Xia Tian wanted to recall the Xuan Huo Chi Zhu, a tremendous suction force came from within. The seemingly thin water curtain pushed outwards at an unhurried pace. On the other side of the thin water curtain, endless waves surged in from the void, Cen Ye's ethereal figure stood among the waves, seeming like the sea god who ruled this vast expanse.

The imposing waves surged one after another, continuously raising Cen Ye's momentum. As they reached the back, Cen Ye's originally indifferent figure was imbued with the weight of a mountain, a heaviness intertwined with the profound and boundless grandeur of the endless ocean.

Even the many celestial beings watching couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance and helplessness, as if they were standing alone facing an endless ocean.

Even those with slightly weaker wills could be overwhelmed by this heavy presence and lose their fighting spirit. Even Lu Xiaoteng's Xuanhuo Red Pillar, when absorbed into that seemingly indifferent water curtain, gave him a feeling of being invaded by endless seawater.

The five thunders arrow transformed into lightning, disappearing into it. It was like striking a deep ocean, its power astonishing, yet it was embraced by the vast expanse of water.

Lu Xia Tian took a deep breath. For most Xuan Xian who were about to ascend to the celestial realm, facing the bottleneck of advancement and the loosening of control over power and understanding, it was inevitable that they would not be as perfect as they wanted, and sometimes even appeared out of control.

Even if his power was great, once there were signs of losing control, it wouldn't be impossible for Lu XiaTian to take advantage of the situation and defeat Cen Ye in one fell swoop, and the chances would even be very high.

But such a situation didn't manifest on Cen Ye's person. The other party's state of mind was as solid as a rock. Even now, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't sense any opportunity to take advantage of.

"This Yu Xuan Heavenly Court truly hides dragons and tigers. With this one move alone, he is already several levels higher than Chu Zhao Yang and Lou Yi Kong." Lu Xia Tian also felt a bit annoyed in his heart, it wasn't that the other party had no flaws, just that Lu Xia Tian's current primordial spirit was restrained to a distance not much different from ordinary celestial immortals. He couldn't perceive the opponent's weaknesses.

If one were truly unfettered, it wouldn't require the use of all one's primordial spirit. Even if one were slightly stronger than a normal celestial fairy, perhaps they could discern the truth. Sometimes victory or defeat is often just a hair's breadth apart.

Perhaps within this nebula city, Lou Yikong could use the fire of a thousand stars to set up the Star Puppet Demon-Slaying Formation, and even then, Cen Ye might not be his opponent. But in other places, Lou Yikong would likely be no match for Cen Ye in this state.

Acting this way would indeed make it very difficult to advance to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the future. After all, using power beyond one's own realm when one's foundation is unstable will inevitably lead to some degree of instability in the foundation for any realm.

But for Lu Xia Tian, who is currently greatly restricted, this has caused a great deal of trouble.

The Profound Fire Enigma Formation was indeed formidable, and Lu Xia Tian had recently broken through, comprehending the subtle essence of the Dao Realm. However, at this moment, his state of mind was still suppressed by the opponent.

To be mentally suppressed is extremely uncomfortable, as if everything you do is within someone else's expectations.

Though the torrential lightning unleashed by the Five Thunder Arrows churned the boundless sea into a maelstrom, even the highest crest of the wave would eventually subside.

On the other side of the water curtain, the hazy figure merely waved its sleeve, and it seemed as if an endless ocean tide surged towards Lu Xiaottian.

Before the wave arrives, the invisible shockwaves have already surged deep into our consciousness. who had lost their mounts, his eyes glinted with ferocity. He had been suppressed by the opponent's speed advantage all along before this, and now he could finally vent his anger properly.>Let me kn...
