Chapter 492

The grand hall of Yuzhou Spirit Sect.

Zhu Liang and the elders of the Yuzhou Spirit Sect were solemnly waiting.

And the deacons and disciples were all lined up in welcome.

Curiosity and excitement echoed on every face, with many hoping to see Xu Yan beheaded and their bitter anger appeased.

In mid-air, two figures were steadily walking forward.

Upon their sight, Zhu Liang and the others were immediately solemn. The man leading was a stern-faced youth, his eyebrows gleaming like gold. Following him by a half-step was the Second Elder of the Chi Clan!

In the strictly stratified Ling Domain, the Second Elder being half a step behind signified that Lu Xinting was superior, conferring that Lu Xinting would be the next Sect Master of the Chi Clan!

With his talent, the strength of Chi Clan would certainly rise another level!

“We greet True Successor Lu!”

Zhu Liang and the other elders of Yuzhou Spirit Sect saluted.

“Hmm.”

Lu Xinting nodded indifferently, then entered the hall with the rest of the party and sat down.

“Let’s cut to the chase, tell that so-called Xu Yan to prepare for his death. I need to return to my breakthrough preparations once I’ve killed him.”

Lu Xinting spoke arrogantly.

“True Successor Lu just wait, we will promptly deliver this message and let the martial artists of Yuzhou witness your greatness.

“Let those Loose Cultivators realize that their so-called prodigy is nothing more than rubbish!”

Zhu Liang respectfully answered.

“Hmm, make it quick!”

Lu Xinting acknowledged with a nod.

…

On this day, all the major Spirit Sects and venerable families in the Ling Domain received the news. The True Successor of the Chi Clan had come to Yuzhou, challenging Xu Yan to a match!

In an instant, all the Spirit Sects and venerable families were shocked. The Yuzhou Spirit Sect had actually invited the True Successor of the Chi Clan!

Lu Xinting, the one with the Divine Halo Body, was a well-known prodigy. At the level of a Great Heavenly Man, he had slain a Refining God Martial Artist, making him the future first strongest in Luo State.

Now, he had come to Yuzhou to challenge Xu Yan.

Although Xu Yan had also slain a Refining God Martial Artist, most of the formidable experts from the Spirit Sects and venerable families speculated that Xu Yan must have used some special means to achieve it.

They also harbored inherent prejudices. How could the prodigy of a Loose Cultivator compare with that of a Spirit Sect?

Therefore, they have already decided the outcome of the fight between Xu Yan and Lu Xinting. Xu Yan was undoubtedly going to die!

They even doubted if Xu Yan would accept the challenge.

Wen Yong, after a long journey, finally returned to Yuzhou. When he arrived at the All Ages Alliance Base, he was shocked to find that it had been taken.

After rummaging through several secret locations, he finally got in touch with Yu Gao.

The mansion was as usual.

However, Shen Haizhou rushed over, looking somewhat surprised.

“Brother Xu, something big has happened.”

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Something big? Has Yuzhou Spirit Sect found the information you provided?”

“No.”

Shen Haizhou shook his head, looking serious. “The Yuzhou Spirit Sect has invited the True Successor from the Chi Clan of Luo State, seeking to challenge you to a death match!”

“The True Successor of Chi Clan?”

Xu Yan was perplexed.

Meng Chong and the others also leaned in, looking curious.

Shen Haizhou inhaled deeply and said gravely, “Chi Clan is a top-ranked Spirit Sect in Luo State. Their current True Successor, Lu Xinting, has one of the top ten Divine Halo Bodies, and is an incredibly gifted prodigy.

“At the level of a Great Heavenly Man, he reversed the odds to kill a Refining God Martial Artist. His strength is beyond imagination.

“A short while ago, he killed three Refining God Loose Cultivators in Luo State, completely unleashing the potential of his Divine Halo Body, and is on the verge of breakthrough to the Refining God Realm.

“Yuzhou Spirit Sect invited him to Yuzhou to challenge you, Brother Xu, to a prodigy face-off.”

Shen Haizhou detailed Lu Xinting’s deeds.

Especially the fact that at the level of a Great Heavenly Man, he managed to kill a Refining God Heavenly Man. Such power was fearsome!

Interested, Xu Yan asked, “The True Successor of Chi clan, Divine Halo Body? Interesting, where does he plan to challenge me?”

After being in the Ling Domain for such a long time, he had finally encountered a true prodigy of the Ling Domain.

The Divine Halo Body, one of the top ten divine bodies.

“How could a Great Heavenly Man reverse kill a Refining God Heavenly Man? The awe of a Divine Soul is not something a martial artist below the Refining God can resist.”

Fang Hao asked out of curiosity.

Everyone knew that a Great Heavenly Man, no matter how strong, was absolutely no match for a Refining God Heavenly Man.

Even if hundreds of Great Heavenly Men joined forces, they would find it difficult to oppose a Refining God Heavenly Man, and the main reason was the awe of the Divine Soul.

When the awe of the Divine Soul suppresses them, martial artists below the Refining God are unable to withstand such pressure. Their consciousness would be suppressed and their strength would undoubtedly be hampered.

Whether in terms of speed, agility, etc., all would be suppressed. Under such circumstances, how could one fight?

“Lu Xinting possesses the Divine Halo Body, which is ranked among the top ten divine bodies. His Halo has the ability to neutralize the awe of the Divine Soul. In addition, as the True Successor of the Chi Clan, he would have trained with a Refining God Heavenly Man upon reaching the Heavenly Man Realm.

“This increases his resistance to the awe of the Divine Soul. In addition, these top-level Spirit Sects possess certain secret techniques that can greatly reduce the impact of the awe of the Divine Soul.

“Having trained with a Refining God Heavenly Man from a young age, he already has a certain resistance to the awe of the Divine Soul. Coupled with his Divine Halo Body, he remains unaffected by the awe of the Divine Soul.

“The strength of top-level Spirit Sects lies precisely in their heritage and foundations.”

Shen Haizhou said solemnly.

Xu Yan and the others couldn’t help but sigh. Those top-level Spirit Sects were indeed not to be underestimated. The belief that a Great Heavenly Man could not reverse kill a Refining God Heavenly Man was only applicable to ordinary Spirit Sects, venerable families, and Loose Cultivators.

For the prodigies of top-level Spirit Sects who have undergone rigorous training, cultivated powerful secret techniques, and possessed powerful divine bodies, the awe of the Divine Soul no longer has a significant impact on them.
