1460 Xuanyuan Celestial Sword, Hellish Bird Yu Xiao, That Man

The clash of sword rays shook heaven and earth.

After the sword rays finally faded, Xuanyuan's successor stood proud amidst the fading debris with rings of golden strength qi surrounding him, blocking the remaining sword qi.

In addition to his proud demeanor, his energy presence continued to surge at a terrifying speed.

"Oh, the Xuanyuan Sword Star?" Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised when he saw the golden strength qi around Xuanyuan's successor.

It was said that when one cultivated Xuanyuan Sword Qi to a certain height, a layer of protective Celestial qi would be produced to protect the user from all kinds of attacks and evil, and it was said to be extremely powerful.

"That's right. This is the ability that I mastered after reaching Gilded Immortal. The Xuanyuan Celestial Sword! Emperor Xuanyuan clashed with Chiyou more than a hundred times but even he had difficulties breaking the Xuanyuan Celestial Sword. It states how powerful the protective Celestial qi is.

"Chu Kuangren, do you think you can achieve what Chiyou failed?" Xuanyuan's successor scoffed.

After mastering the Xuanyuan Celestial Sword, he felt more confident in facing Chu Kuangren with his Xuanyuan Sword.

"Who gave you the idea that Chiyou failed to break through the Xuanyuan Celestial Sword?"

Chu Kuangren sheathed Descendant Self and summoned a bronze halberd in his hand. A vast Demonic qi spread outwards like the rising tide, slamming against the void itself.

"I shall break your Xuanyuan Celestial Sword with the Great Wasteland Halberd."

"You can try!"

Boom!

The two of them disappeared from their respective spots.

When they reappeared, the sword and halberd clashed.

At the first strike, Xuanyuan's successor felt a terrifying force assaulting him through the hilt of Xuanyuan Sword and was attacking his protective Celestial qi.

"A terrifying energy indeed!"

He realized Chu Kuangren did not use his full power when he fought using the Blade of Zhou. Descendant Self might be a powerful sword but it was lacklustered when compared to the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Great Wasteland Halberd was an Embodier weapon that rivaled the Xuanyuan Sword in terms of power.

"Great Wasteland Halberd Technique, Planetary Annihilation!"

The powerful swing combined the technique and the halberd itself, releasing a rampant and powerful attack at Xuanyuan's successor, blasting him away.

"Xuanyuan Sword Qi, Mountainous Imperialization!"

Xuanyuan's successor hurled a slash forward. The domineering sword qi contained the massiveness of rivers and mountains and they intertwined into a glorified land.

It was not just the sword qi, it felt like an entire land was hurled at Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren remained calm at the attack. He coldly raised his halberd and counterattacked. "Great Wasteland Halberd Technique, Nine Heaven Cry!"

The halberd strike released powerful Demonic qi that shook even the nine heavens.

The mountains and rivers contained in the sword qi were wrecked by the demonic halberd strike.

Chu Kuangren stepped forward and appeared in front of Xuanyuan's successor to follow up with another halberd strike. "Great Wasteland Halberd Technique, Great Wasteland Subjugation!"

The second strike concentrated the boundless destructive Demonic qi into one concentrated attack.

Xuanyuan's successor tried to block with his sword but was blasted away like a ragdoll.

Crack!

The Xuanyuan Celestial Sword around him suddenly cracked.

Spurt!

A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth as the excruciating pain almost tore his body apart.

Three strikes!

Chu Kuangren did three strikes but Xuanyuan's successor had to block them with everything he got, and lost!

"You are not Xuanyuan after all, but I am stronger than Chiyou!"

With the Great Wasteland Halberd in hand, Chu Kuangren was overflowing with Demonic qi that flooded the entire arena. He was like a demonic god from ancient times whose aura alone shook the realm and hearts of those who watched.

"I didn't expect Xuanyuan's successor to lose this fast."

"I thought this would be another great battle now that he's achieved Gilded Immortal, but he couldn't even last three strikes from Chu Kuangren."

"It's too difficult to fight Chu Kuangren."

Heated discussions continued among the crowd.

Back in the arena, Chu Kuangren wanted to deliver the final blow to Xuanyuan's successor but then he was stopped by a ball of black fire.

The black fire carried ominous black qi that felt like it could scorch all life in the universe.

The ball of fire split into two.

One hit the Celestial Tablet and engraved the name 'Yu Xiao' on it.

The other ball of fire flew into the arena and went straight for Chu Kuangren.

"Oh? Another one?"

Chu Kuangren changed the swing of his halberd to stop the ominous fire.

Then, a massive bird engulfed in black fire appeared from the sky, carrying a boundless and ominous aura with it.

The massive bird left a trail of destruction with its black fire as though doomsday had arrived.

It was an ancient wild beast that brought forth an ominous aura!

The bird arrived in the arena and transformed into a man in black robes. The handsome looks, the long brows, and the black ember that surrounded him, every feature on him screamed ominously.

It was as though he was the embodiment of catastrophe from hell!

"You're finally here!"

The Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather looked at the man in black in delight.

Chu Kuangren looked at the man. Lil Ai had started analyzing him as soon as he set foot in the arena, and the result was somehow surprising.

"The Golden Crow's subspecies, the Hellish Bird!"

"Sharp eyes. The rumored Chu Kuangren, we finally met," Yu Xiao said.

"Unfortunately, this will be the first and last meeting."

"Oh, I guess so. You'll die right here, and right now," Yu Xiao scoffed.

"Being confident is a good thing, but being overconfident will cost you your life."

Chu Kuangren released his overwhelming Demonic qi as if he was the Demonic Forefather reincarnate.

Yu Xiao released the same amount of ominous aura. The aura matched the image of the massive Hellish Bird, which was his true form.

His cultivation level had reached Gilded Immortal as well.

"So this is the subspecies that the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather mentioned? As expected of someone from the Restricted Area, he's really powerful."

"But I believe he won't stop Chu Kuangren as well."

Yu Xiao might be a powerful Gilded Immortal but he was only slightly stronger than Xuanyuan's successor.

If Xuanyuan's successor could not last three strikes, the audience believed Yu Xiao would not last either.

Some of the great ones noticed Yu Xiao's arrival as well.

"In this era of chaos, even those from the Restricted Areas started to make a move."

"Previously there was the Violet Eye Family Sect from the Soul Restricted Area, and now the Subspecies Restricted Area's Prodigy has joined the fight. Their appearance really added a lot of uncertainty to the Battle of the Heavenly Champions."

"Chu Kuangren himself is also unpredictable. He has surpassed everyone's expectations and control. So maybe using an uncontrollable variable against another uncontrollable variable is the wiser choice."

The great ones were in a heated discussion and they seemed to fear the Restricted Area that Yu Xiao was from.

Meanwhile, in a certain corner of the Immortal World, Mister Zhang looked at Bei Ming curiously. "If the Celestial Demon Tribe goes up against the Restricted Areas, what will be the odds of victory?"

"Self-destruction!" Bei Ming said.

Mister Zhang's expression shifted. "The Restricted Areas are this powerful?!"

Bei Ming looked at him and added, "I'm talking about their self-destruction!"

"I see…" Mister Zhang sighed a breath of relief. He was also surprised by the reason that fueled Bei Ming's confidence and was astonished about how powerful the Celestial Demon Tribe truly was.

"Of course, if that man is willing to do something about it," Bei Ming muttered.

The man that he mentioned made Mister Zhang ponder.

Legend has it that among the Seven Celestial Demons was one tabooed existence that has never been rivaled before.

That man single-handedly reshaped the entire universe before.
