Chapter 393 - Suppression Stele

No one dared to blink, their eyes fixed on Liu Wuxie. Suddenly, a violent wave of energy shot towards the sky as Liu Wuxie's cultivation surged to the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. This outcome stunned everyone, including Wen Haoran.

Everyone was stunned. The faces of those who had mocked Liu Wuxie turned pale, their mouths agape. They had been poised to ridicule him, but the sudden turn of events caught them completely off guard.

"How is this possible? He had also concealed his cultivation!" Shock rippled through the crowd. Liu Wuxie had been in the third level of the True Core Realm when he had joined the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, yet in just three months, he had reached the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

The sheer talent required to achieve this was unimaginable. Those who had previously considered provoking Liu Wuxie now smiled bitterly, relieved they hadn't faced him in the competition. Otherwise, they would have met a dire fate.

The vortex in the arena grew stronger, consuming the Hurricane Sword Art. Wen Haoran's expression shifted, realizing he couldn't prevent his vortex from being devoured, even as he infused it with his sword aura.

The situation was reversed with Liu Wuxie standing in the vortex like a ferocious beast, devouring everything around him. Even space wasn't spared and was devoured.

Just bringing out a trace of the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron's aura was enough to deal with everything. Liu Wuxie further revealed his cultivation in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

"Senior Brother Wen, think of something!" The Profound Inscription Peak's disciples roared angrily, urging Wen Haoran to think of a way to kill Liu Wuxie.

However, Wen Haoran couldn't even move as he was immobilized. He wanted to beg for mercy, but it was futile because this was a deathmatch.

Jian Xing'er gradually felt relieved because Liu Wuxie's victory was assured with his cultivation in the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

"He hid his true strength well!" Elder Tian Xing smiled bitterly; they had all been deceived by Liu Wuxie. The vortex expanded, now capable of enveloping the entire arena. This time, it was Wen Haoran who found himself trapped within.

"Wen Haoran, die!" Liu Wuxie roared and leaped into the sky before slashing down with the Heretic Blade.

The world suddenly became dark, and the ground trembled with a mighty gale crashing down.

Using the heavenly dipper power, Liu Wuxie released his aura in the Heavenly Dipper Realm and brought the Fatality Blade Art to the limit.

"What terrifying energy fluctuation! He's only in the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, but the aura he’s giving off is comparable to the pinnacle of the fifth level," the inner disciples exclaimed because this scene overturned their understanding.

They had met their fair share of geniuses, but it was rare to encounter someone capable of fighting someone with a much higher cultivation.

"He's too strong!" Even Shao Wendong's arena was affected by a powerful gale produced by the energy shockwave.

When Liu Wuxie revealed his cultivation in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, dense murderous intent flashed across Shao Wendong's eyes. His attack speed suddenly increased and forced Chen Lin to retreat step by step. Wen Haoran had a good relationship with him, and Shao Wendong would avenge him if he died at Liu Wuxie's hands.

The gust continued to grow stronger, leaving Wen Haoran vulnerable to being swept by the wind at any time.

The Profound Inscription Peak's disciples stopped their jeering and fell silent.

Liu Wuxie's rise was now unstoppable. Even if he lost this battle, he was guaranteed at least second place.

"I won't hide it since you already know about it!" Shao Wendong's expression remained unchanged. Only a select few knew he had forged a Suppression Stele, and he had no idea how Chen Lin had obtained that information.

With a wave, a palm-sized stone stele appeared in his hand. The Suppression Stele began to grow as it flew into the air.

The surrounding space began to tremble when the Suppression Stele soared to the sky, which felt like an earthquake. Even the arena was on the verge of collapsing.

Chen Lin's clothes fluttered in the wind, and her face became grave at the sight of the Suppression Stele. She knew that even if she lost this battle, it wouldn't be due to the lack of strength but their weapons.

The Suppression Stele grew to a three-meter-tall monument, which emitted an overwhelming aura.

"It's the Suppression Stele! Senior Brother Shao has successfully refined it!" An uproar broke out among the crowd when they saw the Suppression Stele.

After all, refining the Suppression Stele required many precious resources, and Shao Wendong had spent years gathering them. He had successfully forged the Suppression Stele a month before the outer sect's competition.

"The suppression is too strong, and Senior Sister Chen is in danger now." The situation changed the moment the Suppression Stele was summoned.

Chen Lin's odds of winning weren't high unless she possessed a treasure comparable to the Suppression Stele. This meant it was practically impossible for her to win.

"This fight is too unfair for Senior Sister Chen!" The Earth Force Peak's disciples stood up because Chen Lin had a fair chance for the championship. However, the balance was broken when Shao Wendong brought out the Suppression Stele.

"Nothing is fair in the world, and weapons are also part of your strength." Everyone had no choice but to accept that weapons were part of one's strength, even if they were reluctant.

When energy descended, Chen Lin's yellow glow began to shrink under the tremendous pressure. But as Shao Wendong continued to form seals with his hands, the pressure released by the Suppression Stele continued to increase.

The Earth Suppression Stele...interesting! Liu Wuxie thought to himself.

There were five Suppression Steles in total, and Shao Wendong had forged the Earth Suppression Stele, which mainly focused on both offense and defense.

This was natural because it wasn't easy to forge a Suppression Stele. Since Shao Wendong chose to forge one, he would naturally choose to refine one capable of defending and attacking.

Furthermore, the other Suppression Steles took more work to forge. Take the Metal Suppression Stele, which required an astronomical sum of precious metals, or the Wood Suppression Stele, which required an astronomical sum of wood essence.

As for the Earth Suppression Stele, it was easier to forge because the materials were easier to find.

"Out of the five elements, I have already absorbed the metal, wood, and fire elements in my dantian. If I refine this Earth Suppression Stele, my strength will drastically transform." Liu Wuxie began to contemplate Shao Wendong's Earth Suppression Stele.

He had once encountered a powerhouse who had incorporated all five Suppression Steles into his body, making him invincible. His current strength might not be comparable to that powerhouse, but he could make the ancient steles reappear in the world if given enough time.

The battle broke out in the arena again as Chen Lin didn't want to wait any longer.

"Mountain Suppression!" Chen Lin roared. A yellow aura began gathering in her hands, forming a mountain that pressed down on the Suppression Stele.

The force caused the arena beneath them to disappear, and the Suppression Stele hovering in the air began to spin rapidly, unleashing an outburst of powerful energy.
