Chapter 362: The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor! A Peak Showdown! New Abilities! (Part 1)
July 20, 2024
Upon seeing her opponent, Xiao Ling'er felt a mix of tension and excitement, but otherwise, she didn't react much.
However, far away in the Southwest Domain, Lin Fan from the Moon Embrace Palace suddenly sat up, his eyes burning with intensity, and then he stood up, pacing back and forth, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Here they come, here they come."
"Wow, I knew it. At a grand gathering of prodigies like this, we're bound to encounter other main character templates, unless there are no more left in the Immortal Martial Continent."
"But that's obviously impossible."
"As a result, none of my disciples met any of them, and even Jiang Liu'er barely counts. But now... the real main character template has appeared."
"It's just... Xiao Ling'er is facing Lin Dong, how absurd!"
"Why not call yourself something else, even Lin Dong would have been fine."
"However, I haven't seen Lin Dong take things seriously before, so I can't tell if it's just a coincidence of names or if he really is that Martial Ancestor."
"But it's still very interesting."
Lin Fan was eagerly anticipating.
If it's really the Flame Emperor vs. the Martial Ancestor?
Wouldn't that be an epic showdown?
"I can't wait!"
......
"Xiao Ling'er, direct disciple of the Cloud Summit Palace."
"Lin Dong, from the Cloud Summit Palace!"
On the arena stage, the two exchanged a Daoist salute, and then they faced each other, each with a gaze that spoke volumes.
"I know you."
"I assume you know me as well."
Lin Dong stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"That's only natural." Xiao Ling'er nodded. "The Saint Son of the Cloud Summit Palace, your fame is widespread, who doesn't know of you?"
"Even if we don't talk about the past, just looking at recent events, Saint Son Lin, your performance has been extremely eye-catching."
"I hope you'll go easy on me later."
"Oh?"
Lin Dong laughed. "You flatter me."
"Moreover, you're being too modest. You, Xiao Ling'er, and the name of the Moon Embrace Palace are no weaker than me and the Cloud Summit Palace, at least within this venue."
"In fact, the number of times you've been mentioned and the attention you've received far surpasses ours."
"Then why should I go easy on you?"
"It's you who should hold back."
"I'm just lucky, how dare I be so arrogant?" Xiao Ling'er shook her head.
Lin Dong clicked his tongue, momentarily at a loss for words. "Lucky..."
Lucky to have come this far?
Lucky to have shaken the world?
I don't believe it!
This woman...
She's probably quite cunning.
Is she trying to pretend to be weak to catch her opponent off guard? Regardless of the reason, one must remain vigilant and not fall into a trap.
"Let's begin."
Lin Dong raised his hand. "Please!"
As his words fell, he took the initiative and struck out with a fist toward Xiao Ling'er. But this fist carried nine layers of formidable force, each layer building upon the last, and it exploded with tremendous power.
Terrifyingly powerful!
"Purple Shadow Nine Breaks!"
Lin Dong let out a low shout, his voice booming, adding to the power of his punch, making it not to be underestimated.
"Eh?!"
Xiao Ling'er lowered her hand, using the Eight Trigram Collapse to block.
But at the same time, she realized that Lin Dong wasn't using Yuan Li, but...
"True Yuan?!"
True Yuan is the energy that martial cultivators gain after becoming martial cultivators, evolving from True Qi, and it can rival the power of immortal cultivators!
"Are you a martial cultivator?"
"That's quite rare."
"It seems you don't know much about the Cloud Summit Palace."
The two clashed fiercely, engaging in a close-quarters battle, causing the surrounding air to shatter, and even space itself to rumble and crack.
As Lin Dong took action, he smiled confidently. "Have you not heard of the last group of martial cultivators in the bitterly cold north of the Immortal Martial Continent?"
"The Cloud Summit Palace stands in the Northwest Domain. Although it's not in the bitterly cold north, it's still quite distant. Therefore, the Cloud Summit Palace consists of both immortal cultivators and martial cultivators!"
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Ling'er realized, "I've never fought a martial cultivator before, but today I'll gain some experience."
"Then let's begin!"
Lin Dong laughed. "Purple Shadow Nine Breaks!"
"Eight Trigram Collapse!" Xiao Ling'er also smiled.]
A loud boom!
Their fists and palms collided.
Purple Shadow Nine Breaks, with its nine layers of force, each adding to the power of the attack.
Eight Trigram Collapse, with its eight layers of hidden force, exploding from within.
Both of them were sent flying back, but they both wore smiles on their faces.
"Your martial skill is truly impressive. The nine layers of force are like waves, each one higher than the last, extremely formidable!" Xiao Ling'er praised.
"Yours is also impressive. The first layer of bright force and the eight layers of hidden force are quite tormenting." Lin Dong also praised.
For a moment, neither of them continued their attack, but instead, they stood there chatting.
The audience below the stage was left in a difficult position.
......
"What a mutual praise session."
Lin Fan laughed.
His smile was radiant.
If Lin Dong's appearance on the stage had left him unsure whether this Lin Dong was all talk or the real Martial Ancestor, now...
Was there any need to think further?
It was a hundred percent certain!
This was too 'in line with the template'!
"I wonder how far you two will go with your mutual praise."
Lin Fan crossed his arms, genuinely amused and full of anticipation.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"..."
......
"The audience below is getting restless."
Xiao Ling'er looked at Lin Dong and smiled lightly. "Since it's like this, you and I should stop testing each other."
"Let's get serious."
"Good."
Lin Dong nodded. "But I'm also excited to meet such a formidable opponent like you. I'm sure you'll push me to my limits."
"This is my first time facing a Saint Son-level opponent." Xiao Ling'er nodded. "But I won't give up. I'll do my best."
"Let's go!"
Lin Dong shouted. "Celestial Tranquil Sky Step!"
This was a fragment of a movement technique.
Even as a fragment, it was still collected by the Cloud Summit Palace, and it caught the eye of the Saint Son, who practiced it. This further proved the extraordinary nature of this movement technique.
Swish!
Lin Dong stepped on the void, walking in the sky as if it were solid ground, with a casual and relaxed demeanor.
It seemed slow, but in reality, it was as swift as lightning, instantly reaching Xiao Ling Er's back heart. Where she originally stood, only an afterimage remained.
"An afterimage?"
Xiao Ling Er smiled.
Below the stage, exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"Such incredible speed!"
"Xiao Ling Er is in danger."
"Why isn't she dodging quickly? Could it be that she can't react in time?"
"But why is she...smiling?"
"Can it be that she's worthy of being called the Cloud Summit Palace's Holy Son? With such strength...once he gets serious, even a Heaven's Pride like Xiao Ling Er would be defeated in an instant?"
"Pfft!"
Amidst their exclamations, Lin Dong punched out, striking Xiao Ling Er with a punch that went straight through her back heart, creating a gaping blood hole in her chest, blood flowing freely.
"Wah!"
Xiao Ling Er suddenly opened her mouth, coughing out blood.
Below the stage, countless onlookers' faces paled.
But the one whose expression changed the most was Lin Dong.
At this moment, Xiao Ling Er's entire body turned white and began to glow.
Then...
Zzzz!
Lightning flashed, and in an instant, Xiao Ling Er transformed into an 'Electric Person', and then she directly exploded!
Lin Dong wanted to retract his fist, but he had to endure the impact!
"Such quick movements!"
"Such a bizarre illusion."
He muttered, his expression relatively calm.
Boom!
Lightning and explosions engulfed him, blocking everyone's line of sight.
"What happened?!"
"Is he okay?"
"Could it be...that he lost just like that?"
Countless spectators were shocked.
The Heaven's Pride of Cloud Summit Palace, however, scoffed repeatedly.
"Nonsense!"
"What kind of existence is the Holy Son? How could he be so easily defeated?"
"Just watch, and you'll see!"
Almost simultaneously, the smoke and dust cleared.
Everyone quickly focused their attention, wanting to know Lin Dong's current state and whether he had suffered serious injuries.
But...
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a golden light.
"What is that?!"
Someone exclaimed, "Minor Nirvana Golden Body?!"
At this moment, Lin Dong's entire body glowed, resembling a small golden statue, radiant with golden light.
"Minor Nirvana Golden Body? What is that?" someone asked.
At this time, the Brilliant Sun Devil Lord spoke again, "You don't even know about the Minor Nirvana Golden Body? You are truly ignorant. Let me enlighten you."
"The Minor Nirvana Golden Body is an extremely powerful martial arts body refining technique. Once cultivated to perfection, it becomes invulnerable to all laws. If cultivated to the ultimate level, it is said to rival the hardness of immortal gold!"
"Even in the Cloud Summit Palace, this is one of the strongest body refining techniques."
"Oh?!"
Someone exclaimed, "It does sound formidable, but why does this name resemble the 'Six-Foot Golden Body', one of the Buddha's golden bodies?"
"Is there a connection?"
"Indeed, there is." The Brilliant Sun Devil Lord nodded. "It is said that many tens of thousands of years ago, a martial arts prodigy accidentally entered the Buddhist sect but lacked any Buddhist nature. In the end, he was expelled from the Buddhist sect."
"However, during that time, he witnessed many Buddhist secret techniques, and the Minor Nirvana Golden Body was one of them."
"Subsequently, relying on his exceptional talent, he created the Minor Nirvana Golden Body based on the Nirvana Golden Body and spread its fame throughout the world. Thus, the Minor Nirvana Golden Body's reputation soared, and it has been passed down to this day!"
His words were awe-inspiring.
Everyone was captivated.
"What kind of prodigy was he?"
"To create such a secret technique is truly awe-inspiring and astonishing."
But...
The various Buddhist sects in the Western Region were displeased.
One of the Ninth Realm Great Monks from the Western Region coldly snorted, "Speak human words!"
Brilliant Sun Devil Lord: "..."
"That person copied it, but not completely, it's a fragmented version."
"The Minor Nirvana Golden Body is derived from the Nirvana Golden Body, or you could say, whether copied completely or not, it has several weaknesses compared to the true Nirvana Golden Body."
Everyone: "???"
You motherfcker!
We almost believed it, but then you...
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Brilliant Sun Devil Lord rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'm lying to you? The story I heard was like this, but later, when my cultivation advanced, I learned all the secrets and understood the truth."
"But let's get back to the topic."
"In this world, many truths are...if you knew them, you'd surely be shocked and have your worldview shattered. Do you want to listen?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
In an instant,
Within the venue, countless big shots turned their gazes towards the Brilliant Sun Devil Lord, their imposing auras spreading out, their lifeless eyes filled with threatening intent.
Secrets?
Fck, after cultivating for so many years, who doesn't have some secrets unknown to others? Who knows what the Brilliant Sun Devil Lord, this dog, has found out?
If I let this big-mouthed fellow spread these secrets everywhere, wouldn't I be socially dead?
No way, I must stop him from talking nonsense!
In an instant, countless voices whispered into his ears.
"Brilliant Sun, if you want to die, keep talking!"
"Brilliant Sun, hehe, you know what I mean."
"Brilliant Sun, you and I are both from the Demon Sect, so..."
"Brilliant Sun, you know about my affair with my sister-in-law? You better not talk nonsense, after the Prodigy Grand Tournament, I'll invite you for a drink and a chat."
"One million high-grade primal stones, Brilliant Sun, shut your stinking mouth! I stole something from the Red-Clothed Immortal Maiden..."
"..."
Brilliant Sun Devil Lord: "???"
What the fck?
I wanted to talk about the secrets of the Immortal Martial Continent, which are related to ancient rumors and glorified legends, but you...?
But who is the Brilliant Sun Devil Lord?
A big demon!
At this moment, how could he show it?
Even his heart was filled with joy.
What a great opportunity!
Why not take this chance to extort them?
Hey!
"You almost fell for my trick."
Lin Dong tugged at his slightly wrinkled clothes, "Fortunately, we martial artists focus on physical strength, and my body is quite strong, otherwise, I would have been injured."
"Your speed..."
"Zizla!"
Thunder rumbled as Xiao Ling Er stepped on lightning, appearing before Lin Dong. He frowned slightly: "Is that the Minor Nirvana Golden Body? I've never seen it before."
"But I never thought that such a simple method would defeat you."
"After all, you're the Cloud Summit Saint Son."
"Then..."
"Again!" Lin Dong raised his hand: "Vast Wilderness Sea Split Seal!"
He formed hand seals, and the sky rumbled as if an ocean appeared!
The sea dispersed at this moment, and the waves slammed from both sides towards Xiao Ling Er.
The might was so strong that it could crush mountains and rivers in an instant. Even a ten-thousand-foot peak would be smashed to pieces in a flash.
"So strong!"
Xiao Ling Er's eyes gleamed, but at the same time, she also summoned with both hands: "Imperial Seal Decision - Turn the Sea Seal!"
Boom!
One seal split the sea, and another seal turned the sea!
The surging waves that struck were, under Xiao Ling Er's Turn the Sea Seal, actually turned and then constantly struck and collided.
In the end, both disappeared without a trace.
Both sides...
Neither gained the upper hand!
"Hahaha, so strong, truly strong!"
Lin Dong laughed loudly: "Xiao Ling Er, I truly underestimated you, let's go again!"
"Boom!"
He took a step forward, and his aura soared in an instant. Then, he pointed out a finger, and another finger!
"Vast Wilderness Sky Confining Finger!"
"One Finger Imprisons Heaven and Earth!"
"Two Fingers Crush Mountains and Rivers!"
Two terrifying finger seals, like a giant from the Immortal Realm, descended with two fingers, ready to crush all opponents.
Even a powerful opponent like Xiao Ling Er seemed minuscule under these two finger seals.
"Finger technique? I know a few as well."
"Yellow Springs Finger!"
Hum!
As if the Yellow Springs appeared, the finger seal soared into the sky, one from above and one from below.
The finger seals collided, exploding with a rumble, and a strong wind howled for tens of thousands of miles, making the two of them flutter.
"Good finger technique!"
Lin Dong's eyes shone, and he was very excited.
He rarely encountered such an opponent.
He was young, and after joining the Cloud Summit Palace, he had been diligently cultivating. Although he occasionally sparred, none of his peers in the palace could make him go all out.
The last person who made him fight with all his strength was that 'good brother' Lin Lang Tian.
This time, he came to the Prodigy Grand Tournament, and what he cared about was not just the ranking but a worthy opponent. Now, he had found one!
But...
For some reason, when Lin Dong and Xiao Ling Er fought and faced Xiao Ling Er, he always had a strange sense of familiarity, as if...
It was like...
Looking in a mirror? But, he and she had never met before, and they were a man and a woman, with different cultivation paths. Why did he feel such a familiar sense of looking in a mirror? Strange! But...
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Let's enjoy the fight first!
"Hahaha, again, again!"
Lin Dong laughed excitedly: "Three Fingers Annihilate All Life!"
"Four Fingers Shatter the Firmament!"
Xiao Ling Er's expression gradually became solemn.
These two fingers were far more powerful than the previous two, and relying solely on the Yellow Springs Finger was not enough.
But...
Fortunately, he knew other finger techniques.
"Overwhelming Heaven Finger!"
"One Finger Shakes Heaven and Earth!"
"Two Fingers Stir the Universe!"
Boom!
A terrifying finger technique showdown.
The sky changed color, and the entire platform's heaven and earth, the universe itself, trembled, shaking with a loud rumble.
Bang!
Another loud noise, and both retreated.
In that instant, it was a draw again.
"Good, haha, that's how it should be."
Lin Dong was even more excited, brimming with dominance: "Five Fingers Move Heaven and Earth!"
Xiao Ling Er's eyes gleamed: "Three Fingers, Unseen by Anyone!"
The sky shook even more violently.
It seemed like the universe was about to collapse.
Universe: "Ah, yes, yes, who the hell can play with you guys? You shake me, and I shake you~~~ I'm going to collapse."
"There's still more?!"
Lin Dong was surprised, but his smile grew even brighter: "Too amazing!"
"Five Fingers Unite, Vast Wilderness... Sky Confining Hand!"
Boom!
It was as if the Buddha's giant hand descended from the heavens, ready to suppress Xiao Ling Er, this 'Immortal Buddha', under the Five Fingers Mountain.
But...
Xiao Ling Er did not dodge or avoid, facing the shocking sky-shattering finger, and then, she pointed out the fourth finger.
"Four Fingers, Unmatched by Anyone!"
Dong!!!
The finger seal and palm seal collided.
A deafening sound shook the earth, and almost all the Seventh Realm and below cultivators in the audience were stunned.
The enormous palm seal was pierced by the finger seal, creating a huge hole.
When the palm seal fell, Xiao Ling Er happened to be in that hole, with the surrounding mountains and rivers shattered and the earth crumbling, but Xiao Ling Er remained unscathed!
