Chapter 308: Irresistible Force, Facing Clear Wind

In the center of the Martial Arts Field was a massive arena stage, measuring a thousand feet across and forged entirely from Star Iron, capable of withstanding the full force of an Emperor Realm Tenth Layer's attack without being damaged.

Floating around the arena stage were countless light screens, displaying information about each participating Disciple.

[Participating Disciple: Zhou Chen] [Cultivation: Emperor Realm Seventh Layer] [Sect: None] [Record: 0 wins, 0 losses]

[Participating Disciple: Mo Wuqing] [Cultivation: Emperor Realm Eighth Layer] [Sect: Mo Family] [Record: 187 wins, 23 losses]

[Participating Disciple: Clear Wind Master] [Cultivation: Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm] [Sect: Daoist School] [Record: 293 wins, 1 loss]

The dense list of names totaled more than three hundred people.

These were all Elite Disciples of Jixia Academy, each a Genius among geniuses.

"Zhou Chen is here!"

Someone exclaimed.

Everyone turned their heads to see Zhou Chen walking slowly into the Martial Arts Field.

He was dressed in a green robe with a long sword hanging from his waist; his expression was calm, yet his body radiated a powerful aura.

"heaven severing emperor!"

"heaven severing emperor!"

"heaven severing emperor!"

Countless Disciples shouted at the top of their lungs, their eyes filled with admiration.

Since the Dao Discussion Convention, Zhou Chen's reputation in the Academy had been like the sun at high noon.

In particular, his condensation of the nine nether dao fruit, which triggered heavenly phenomena, had left everyone in awe.

"Hmph!"

Mo Wuqing stood at the edge of the arena stage, looking coldly at Zhou Chen. "heaven severing emperor? Truly a frog at the bottom of a well."

The Devilish Qi surged around his body, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

Since meeting Zhou Chen in the Sea of Heart Demons last time, he had wanted to challenge him on the spot. However, he had received a warning from Bai Mo, so Mo Wuqing had been holding his breath, wanting to defeat Zhou Chen with his own hands.

"First match: Zhou Chen versus Mo Wuqing!"

An Elder dressed in a golden robe announced.

He was the Supervisory Elder of the Martial Arts Field, responsible for maintaining order and determining victory or defeat.

Zhou Chen and Mo Wuqing stepped onto the arena stage simultaneously.

As the two faced off, the atmosphere instantly froze.

"Zhou Chen, are you ready to die?"

Mo Wuqing sneered, the Devilish Qi inside him surging frantically.

"Blood Demon True Form!"

His body began to expand, transforming into a blood-colored giant ten thousand feet tall, his entire being radiating terrifying Devilish Qi.

"Blood Demon Heaven-Devouring Art — Surging Demonic Sea!"

Countless strands of blood-colored Devilish Qi condensed into a sea of blood, sweeping toward Zhou Chen to submerge him.

Within the sea of blood, countless vengeful souls wailed, emitting terrifying resentment.

Terrifying and bloody.

The sea of blood condensed by the Surging Demonic Sea could continuously devour an enemy's life and cultivation.

With his strength growing as the enemy's waned, Mo Wuqing was confident that no matter how strong the opponent was, he could wear them down to death.

"The Demonic Path?"

Zhou Chen smiled faintly and raised his hand.

"Taiyin Divine Lightning!"

Silver-white lightning erupted from his palm, instantly transforming into a sea of lightning that met the sea of blood.

Taiyin Divine Lightning was the most yang-natured element among all lightning, specifically countering all evil and Devilish Qi.

When the sea of blood and the sea of lightning collided, the sea of blood was instantly purified by the lightning, dissipating into black smoke.

"What?!"

Mo Wuqing's expression changed drastically.

His Blood Demon Heaven-Devouring Art was actually broken in a single move?

"Impossible!"

He roared and performed his Demonic Technique once more.

"Blood Demon Heaven-Devouring Art — Ten Thousand Ghosts Heart-Devouring!"

Countless malicious ghosts flew out from his body, pouncing toward Zhou Chen.

But Zhou Chen merely waved his hand gently.

"Taiyin Divine Lightning — Lightning World Purification!"

Countless silver-white lightning bolts fell, and the malicious ghosts let out shrill screams within the lightning, dissipating into black smoke one after another.

"Impossible! This is Taiyin Divine Lightning… How can you possess such terrifying lightning arts?!"

Mo Wuqing looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

The Blood Demon Heaven-Devouring Art he cultivated was completely useless in the face of Taiyin Divine Lightning.

"Die."

Zhou Chen didn't care to waste words and simply pointed a finger.

"Taiyin Divine Lightning — Suppression!"

Rumble!

Thousands of lightning bolts descended from the sky simultaneously, striking Mo Wuqing directly.

The next moment.

Mo Wuqing screamed as his Blood Demon True Form was shattered by the lightning; his body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena stage.

"I… I lost…"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with resentment and disbelief.

"The winner: Zhou Chen!"

The Supervisory Elder announced.

The entire audience erupted in an uproar.

"One move! He defeated Mo Wuqing in just one move!"

"Too strong! The heaven severing emperor truly lives up to his name!"

"Mo Wuqing is at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer and Cultivates the Mo Family's forbidden techniques, yet he was insta-killed in one move?"

Everyone discussed fervently, their gazes toward Zhou Chen filled with awe and respect.

Mo Wuqing walked off the arena stage expressionlessly, his mind somewhat dazed; he had lost completely today.

Taiyin Divine Lightning was the ultimate counter to the Demonic Path; he had no chance of winning at all.

"Next match: Zhou Chen versus the Jian Family's Elite Disciple — Jian Xin!"

The Supervisory Elder continued to announce.

Jian Xin walked onto the arena stage. He was a young man dressed in white with a long sword hanging at his waist, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"Zhou Chen, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Jian Xin cupped his hands. "I heard your Sword Dao cultivation is extremely high; today is the perfect chance to spar."

"Please."

Zhou Chen nodded.

The instant Jian Xin drew his sword, countless strands of Sword Qi flew out from his body, condensing into a giant sword in the air that slashed toward Zhou Chen.

This sword contained his entire understanding of the Sword Dao, its power terrifying to the extreme.

"A decent sword move."

Seeing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but nod, showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Azure Lotus Cleaving the Heavens!"

Perfection Law of Slaughter!

In the next instant, Zhou Chen's long sword practically leaped from its scabbard, and a brilliant sword light burst through the air.

Boom!!!

The two strands of Sword Qi collided, erupting in a world-shaking explosion.

But Zhou Chen's Sword Dao was clearly stronger, directly shattering Jian Xin's Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Heart.

The Sword Qi's momentum remained undiminished as it struck Jian Xin.

Jian Xin hurriedly circulated his protective spiritual energy to block, but he was still knocked back ten steps.

"What a strong Sword Dao Law!"

Jian Xin's eyes were filled with shock as he said in heartfelt submission, "I lose!"

He then turned and walked off the arena stage without the slightest hesitation.

"The winner: Zhou Chen!"

The Supervisory Elder announced again.

Following that, Zhou Chen fought ten matches in a row, winning every single one with a single move.

Whether it was the killing battle methods of the Legalist School or the Military School, or even the Yin-Yang Spirit Control Art of the Yin-Yang School, they were all vulnerable before Zhou Chen.

Crushing victory!

Continuous crushing victories!

"Next match: Zhou Chen versus the Daoist School's Chief Elite Disciple — Clear Wind Master!"

The Supervisory Elder announced.

The entire field instantly fell silent.

Clear Wind Master, the Chief Elite Disciple of the Daoist School with a cultivation of the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm and a record of 293 wins and 1 loss, was one of the top geniuses in the Academy.

This battle was definitely the Peak confrontation among the Elite Disciples!

Clear Wind Master walked slowly onto the arena stage, a gentle smile still hanging on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou Chen, we meet again."

He cupped his hands. "I'm afraid I'll have to be serious this time."

"Fellow Daoist Clear Wind is too polite."

Zhou Chen returned the gesture. "Please enlighten me."

"Then I shall not be polite."

Clear Wind Master pulled back his smile, his gaze becoming sharp.

"Clear Wind Shadow Transformation!"

His figure suddenly vanished, transforming into countless wisps of clear wind that permeated the entire arena stage.

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept across, but he found that every wisp of clear wind carried Clear Wind Master's aura.

"Could it be a Clone technique?"

Zhou Chen observed silently.
