#242 - Chapter 242: Congratulations

On the cyan stone arena, the battle between the Fourth Prince and Lin Changqing had reached a fever pitch. In just a few seconds, both sides had exchanged hundreds of blows using various divine powers.

It must be said that, to some extent, Lin Changqing, who had sealed half of his spiritual power and lowered his cultivation by four minor realms, was truly evenly matched with the Fourth Prince for the first hundred moves!

Only within these initial hundred moves could it be said that the Fourth Prince and Lin Changqing were on equal footing!

"As expected, he's not that strong anymore. I have a chance to defeat him!" After exchanging another blow, the Fourth Prince continuously unleashed Great Sun Golden Crow Fire to incinerate Lin Changqing's surroundings. Subsequently, the Fourth Prince thought with great joy, because he had discovered that Lin Changqing was not as strong as he had been.

If it were Lin Changqing at the eleventh level of the Nascent Soul stage fighting him, he would probably be defeated in a single move. But now, the two sides had exchanged over 100 moves, and the Fourth Prince could deal with all of Lin Changqing's divine powers.

This put the Fourth Prince at ease. He truly had a chance to defeat Lin Changqing.

"Lin Changqing, this time I will definitely win against you!" The Fourth Prince roared to the sky. He took out a golden sword from his storage bag with his left hand. This was a top-grade Dao artifact called the Golden Crow Sword, inherited from the Great Sun Immortal Venerable. The sword gleamed with a metallic golden luster in the morning light, and ancient Golden Crow runes roamed between the body of the sword. The Fourth Prince stood with his hands behind his back, holding the sword in his left hand, exuding an indescribable domineering aura!

"Golden Crow Six Yang Armor." The Fourth Prince shouted again, and a golden battle armor appeared on his upper body. This was also a top-grade Dao artifact called the Golden Crow Six Yang Battle Armor, with nine crimson-gold fire Golden Crows entwined on the armor!

It could be said that at this moment, the Fourth Prince had brought out all his trump cards. Two top-grade Dao artifacts, one for offense and one for defense, the Golden Crow Sword and the Golden Crow Armor, were both taken out by him.

The Fourth Prince looked at Lin Changqing, pointing with the Golden Crow Sword. In the depths of his pupils, six rounds of blazing suns rose and fell: "Today, we will see whether your Immortal King Body is more powerful, or my Golden Crow Sword and Golden Crow Armor are more powerful."

As the Fourth Prince spoke, he lightly swiped with the sword. In that instant, the space around the Fourth Prince was scorched by the flames emitted by the Golden Crow Sword, and the arena cracked with spiderweb-like scorch marks!

"Lin Changqing, you're nothing more than this. You couldn't do anything to me in the previous 100 moves. Next, I will use my Golden Crow Sword to end you and win this competition," the Fourth Prince said.

"I sealed half of my spiritual power and lowered my cultivation by four minor realms, and you only managed to fight me to this extent. What's there for you to be proud of?" Lin Changqing shook his head and said indifferently. He didn't know what the Fourth Prince was being arrogant about.

Indeed, in the previous hundred moves, he and the Fourth Prince were evenly matched. But the key was that he had sealed half of his spiritual power and lowered his cultivation by four minor realms. What was the Fourth Prince being arrogant about?

"Haha, the victor is king. As long as I win against you this time, I will be able to obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art. Furthermore, who told you to be stupid enough to sign a contract with me? I'm telling you, as long as I obtain the Stone Monkey Heavenly Art, even if you don't seal your spiritual power, I will have the confidence to fight you and win," the Fourth Prince said triumphantly.

"Enough talk, let's begin!" Lin Changqing said coldly, then drew the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber from his back. His five fingers gripped the hilt, and the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber emitted a bloodthirsty hum. The void behind him suddenly cracked open into nine layers of heavenly palaces, and the faint shadow of an Immortal King chanting scriptures could be seen in the gilded cloud patterns.

This was Lin Changqing combining the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber with the phenomenon of the Immortal King Body. He was using the saber to trigger the imagery of the Immortal King Body.

Lin Changqing slowly slashed out with the saber. The moment the saber was drawn, the entire stone arena suddenly fell into an eerie silence—the Immortal King Body imagery condensed seven layers on the blade. You could see the Immortal King stepping on a True Dragon phenomenon, the Immortal King Myriad Fires phenomenon, the Immortal King Black Cloud phenomenon, and so on, a total of seven Immortal King phenomena condensed on the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber, finally condensing into seven blood-colored crescent moons.

This was Lin Changqing summoning seven Immortal King Body phenomena, combined with the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber.

"First strike, Immortal King Vanguard!" Lin Changqing looked at the Fourth Prince and shouted, then his figure suddenly blurred. The saber light, wrapped in the afterimage of the Immortal King, split open the space, and the fire Golden Crows around the Fourth Prince instantly exploded into a sky full of flowing fire.

The Fourth Prince's face was full of disbelief. Because in that instant, he felt a fatal threat from this saber strike, as if Lin Changqing had only been teasing him in the previous hundred moves. Now, he felt an irresistible force in this saber strike!

"I refuse to accept that you're so strong! Golden Crow Sword, kill him for me!" The Fourth Prince was unwilling to be defeated. He waved the Golden Crow Sword, and streams of Golden Crow flames flowed in front of him, then began to shatter one by one. Subsequently, these shattered flames actually condensed into golden arrows in mid-air.

"Myriad Heaven Golden Crow Arrows!" The Fourth Prince clasped his palms together, and six rounds of blazing suns formed a solar corona above his head. Tens of thousands of flame arrows turned into a crimson-gold torrent, and the ground of the cyan stone arena where it passed was actually melted and incinerated.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince used his strongest killing move!

Even some ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivators would probably not be able to block this move.

But Lin Changqing did not retreat, but instead advanced, directly slashing out with another saber strike. The second "Heavenly Wolf" saber light, with an unparalleled aura, split open the thousands of flame arrows, and the blade collided head-on with the Golden Crow Sword held in the Fourth Prince's palm.

This was a duel between the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber and the Golden Crow Sword. The Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber had the advantage in terms of the quality of a semi-immortal artifact. This collision directly shattered the Golden Crow Sword almost to the point of breaking, and the Fourth Prince was also blasted back seven steps, coughing up blood. The shockwave of the collision caused the entire arena to shake, and bottomless cracks appeared in the center of the arena.

The Fourth Prince's armor shattered, and his body was covered in blood. A dark-gold sun totem appeared on his chest: "I refuse to accept it, I don't believe I will lose to you!"

The Fourth Prince began to fight desperately, because if he couldn't even defeat Lin Changqing in this state, what chance would he have to defeat Lin Changqing in the future?

The Fourth Prince began to burn all the spiritual power in his body, even sacrificing his lifespan to enhance his combat power. He stretched out his arms, and fiery wings that blotted out the sky unfolded behind him, each feather burning the void.

Lin Changqing's mouth curled into a cold smile, but the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber became even more dazzling. The third saber strike was unleashed, and countless stars actually appeared in broad daylight. Seven starlight beams injected into the saber body formed a silver-white wolf shadow. The Immortal King's phantom suddenly opened his eyes, as if a Chaos Thunder Tribulation had descended from the Nine Heavens, pouncing directly at the Fourth Prince!

This was a Thunder-attribute Immortal King Body phenomenon. Lin Changqing had defeated a Thunder Dao cultivator on the eighty-ninth floor, learned his divine power seed, and fused it into this phenomenon. Now, Lin Changqing was using the Heavenly Wolf Seven Kill Saber to trigger the Chaos Thunder Tribulation, killing the Fourth Prince.

"How can you have so many phenomena?" The Fourth Prince was completely numb. From the beginning to the present, he didn't know how many kinds of Immortal King Body phenomena Lin Changqing had used, and each one was so powerful.

"Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Purifying Fire!" The Fourth Prince formed hand seals, and six rounds of blazing suns fused into a Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Idol, beginning to fight against the Chaos Thunder Tribulation triggered by Lin Changqing, but it was completely no match.

A few seconds later, the Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Idol summoned by the Fourth Prince was completely destroyed by the Chaos Thunder Tribulation, and the Fourth Prince coughed up blood again!
