1492 Lan Yu Challenges Three Prodigies, Ninth On The Immortal Ranking, Qinghua Imperial Commander

Bang!

Vast Radiant War Immortal Physique's Immortal Core erupted together with the precinct Gilded Traits. The aura burst out and swept every single direction.

Amid the explosion of aura, the land trembled, the sky shook, and it even blasted the Third Dragon Crown Prince away for several hundred meters. The halberd that he wielded even buzzed violently.

"What a powerful energy fluctuation!"

"Her powers are not to be underestimated," said the Third Dragon Crown Prince.

He finally understood why Lan Yu was ranked higher than the three of them.

"All of you came here for the Immortal Ranking, right?" Lan Yu said with her backs against them.

"That's right. The top ten on the Immortal Ranking are all well-known Prodigies who used to fight Chu Kuangren twenty years ago. But how could you, a mere follower of Chu Kuangren, rank eleventh even after twenty years since he died and be ahead of us? We want to let the world know that you, Lan You, are not worthy of that spot!" Ji De said coldly as he wielded the Heaven's Son Sword.

"You said the top ten on the Immortal Ranking used to fight my Master? Who gave you the idea that those people were his match?"

With that, Lan Yu slowly turned around. "If my Master comes back, the Immortal Ranking is nothing but a joke."

"Come back?"

Her words left the few of them stunned. Ji De then looked at Lan Yu compassionately. "What a pity. You still refuse to accept that Chu Kuangren has fallen."

Lan Yu reacted expressionlessly to their words. She refused to argue with them.

"Whatever. We're here today to defeat you and to prove that you should be ranked below us," Ji De said as he drew his Heaven's Son Sword with a clang.

Countless Daoist patterns swirled on the blade as it released a surge of sharp energy into the air.

It was already a top Arch Gilded Weapon and only one step shy from achieving Embodier Weapon status.

The sword qi that it released distorted the space around it.

The Side King, Hen Changtian, also drew the sword from his waist. As the blade revealed itself, excruciating wails echoed throughout the realm as though the world had turned into purgatory!

It was a demonic sword -- an ominous demonic sword that brought forth disaster!

As both the Heaven's Son Sword and the demonic sword were pointed at Lan Yu, two drastically different sword qi released their aura that filled the realm. Even the void was torn apart by its sheer pressure.

Lan Yu stood before them with the Scepter of Light. "The Immortal Ranking is nothing but a joke. However, it's a fact that I am more powerful than all three of you."

"How arrogant!"

Ji De's figure flashed and launched the first attack while Hen Changtian remained still and pondered. He had decided to observe before making a rash attack.

Clung!

The moment the Heaven's Son Sword collided with the Scepter of Light, the clash released a powerful surge of energy outward.

"Are you not going to fight me all at once?" Lan Yu said indifferently.

"I alone am enough to defeat you!"

They came to prove the Immortal Ranking was wrong, and if they won with numbers, even if they really won, they would not be able to prove that Lan Yu was weaker than each of them.

Only by winning Lan Yu in a one-on-one battle could they prove that they were stronger than her.

"And you're trying to defeat me by yourself? You're the arrogant one in my opinion!"

The Radiant War Immortal Physique's Immortal Core erupted. The dense Gilded Trait contained in it swept across the field and blasted Ji De away.

"Heavenly God Ray!"

Lan Yu's expression was as solemn as that of a real God. A massive amount of radiant light together with Daoist patterns gathered in her palm before she shot it out.

The beam perforated everything, including the void.

"Damn it!" Ji De's expression turned grave. He raised the Heaven's Son Sword and released a surge of sword qi forward to counter.

The sword qi, which contained a hint of prestige, clashed with the beam.

Following that, the impact of the clash sent Ji De flying away, and his face turned pale.

It was just a short exchange, yet he already noticed the difference in strength between him and Lan Yu.

"You're in the fifth grade?! You're a Fifth-grade Gilded Immortal?!"

Lan Yu had broken through to a Fifth-grade Gilded Immortal, whereas Ji De and the other Prodigies were only Third-grade Gilded Immortals. Moreover, some of the sky-prides had just achieved the Gilded Immortal Realm not long ago.

That meant they were far behind Lan Yu's cultivation level.

"No wonder she's ranked so high. Being a Fifth-grade Gilded Immortal and having the Radiant War Immortal Physique makes her really strong."

"Ji De, Hen Changtian, and the others are also Prodigies, but the difference in their strengths, when compared to Lan Yu, is obvious."

"I agree."

Ji De, Hen Changtian, and the others reacted bitterly when they realized the difference in strength.

"Together!"

"Alright!"

With that, Ji De and Hen Changtian attacked together. As the Heaven's Son Sword attacked together with the demonic sword, an unparalleled sword qi swept across the field.

It tried to overwhelm Lan Yu, but she simply swung her scepter around to destroy the sword qi.

Then, the dragon's roar sounded.

A blue dragon's shadow was dashing toward Lan Yu, attempting to crush her to bits.

It was the Third Dragon Crown Prince!

He wielded his halberd while surrounded by vast dragon qi. As though he was standing in the middle of the ocean, his aura was intimidating.

"Oh." Lan Yu swung her scepter once more to destroy the dragon's shadow, but she was forced backward for more than a dozen meters.

She, too, felt pressured when all three Prodigies attacked her together.

"Teaming up is the wiser choice," Lan Yu said.

Her blue eyes were overflowing with battle intent that rumbled like a storm as the Radiant War Immortal's Core energy surged higher.

Ji De and the other two Prodigies launched the second round of attack.

Sword ray, halberd ray, demonic qi, dragon qi, and even Heaven's Son qi were blasted toward Lan Yu like a destructive tempest.

"Radiant River!"

As Lan Yu raised her hand, endless sparks scattered and intertwined with the countless Daoist patterns in the void to form a long river.

Each splash in the river contained a powerful Immortal's Core energy fluctuation.

It was the divine ability of the Prominent Radiant War Immortal Physique!

The clash of several energies exploded above the sky of Laojun City. Dazzling lights lit up half the sky and caught the attention of all the cultivators in the city.

Kaboom!

After a destructive explosion, both Lan Yu and Ji De and company were blasted backward.

However, compared to Ji De and the other two, Lan Yu was in a much better sharp. Even her Immortal's Core remained sufficient.

Meanwhile, Ji De and the other two looked weaker than before.

The outcome of the battle was obvious.

"It seems like Lan Yu is stronger than the three of them combined.

"Hmph. She's been with Chu Kuangren for so many years. I knew she wouldn't be that weak."

"Yeah. If his followers are so strong, I can't imagine what Chu Kuangren can do in his prime. It's scary."

The crowd was suddenly reminded of the figure in white who overpowered the world twenty years ago.

Unfortunately, they would not be able to see him again for the rest of their lives.

"This is over," Lan Yu said as she raised her scepter to deliver the final blow.

It was at that moment that the clouds rumbled. An auspicious light flickered in the void, and a nine-headed lion came running from the sky.

Above the nine-headed lion was a figure in green robes, covered in endless Immortal Sparks and auspicious images.

Upon his arrival, a powerful aura erupted and shrouded half of the city.

"He's Qinghua Imperial Commander, the person ranked ninth on the Immortal Ranking!"
