Ling Chen spoke coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Everyone assumed it was just a formality, never expecting that someone would actually dare to challenge Li Xuankong!
Everyone knew that Li Xuankong’s strength was overwhelming, that even Li Qingkong had given up, yet a cultivator at the initial stage of three stars like Ling Chen chose to challenge him. Are you sure his brain hasn’t gotten waterlogged?
Emperor Haotian was momentarily taken aback.
Then he immediately regained his composure, a smile appearing on his face.
The only thing about Ling Chen that made him wary was his identity as the son of the clan leader.
However, right now, the clan leader was still in seclusion.
Even if Ling Chen showed this identity, it would be of no use.
Now, it all depended on strength.
Ling Chen challenging Xuankong perfectly provided Xuankong the opportunity to defeat Ling Chen and rightfully claim the title of Young Master.
The Great Elder and other elders all looked at Ling Chen with disbelief.
Especially the Seventh Elder.
She understood Ling Chen’s strength the most.
A three-star beginner Emperor had no place in this contest!
"White-haired brother, what are you doing?"
Li Kaiyan hurriedly tugged at Ling Chen’s sleeve.
In her eyes, Ling Chen was no match for Li Xuankong.
Going up would only lead to public humiliation.
Ling Chen had helped her consolidate a Perfect World, and she was deeply grateful, unwilling for him to endure such disgrace.
Li Qingkong, on the other hand, scrutinized Ling Chen closely, unsure of what he was thinking.
Li Xuankong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips curled upward.
Although a three-star Emperor was insignificant in his eyes,
Ling Chen’s audacity to challenge him made him more than willing to give the former a lesson.
Emperor Haotian laughed, "Since Ling Chen wishes to contest for the position of Young Master, then, the two of you please prepare for a duel!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen and Li Xuankong flew up into the sky and faced each other standing.
Everyone else also ascended skyward.
"This Ling Chen really doesn’t know his limits, what strength does he have to dare to challenge Brother Xuankong?"
"Exactly! He’s just a crude person from Qing Province!"
"Haha, maybe the title of top prodigy in Qing Province got to his head?"
"Overestimating himself! How could a trash place like Qing Province compare to our Green Lotus Ancient Clan?"
The crowd collectively sneered.
Many people had witnessed Ling Chen’s strength before.
However, it was only at the level of a one-star Emperor.
Ling Chen’s advancement to a three-star Emperor in just three years was terrifyingly quick.
However, this fight for Young Master was about actual battle prowess.
Not about cultivation speed!
"Cousin, please make your move!"
Li Xuankong smiled slightly.
He flipped his hand, producing a black longsword.
"A mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon?"
There was an initial intake of breath, followed by exclamations of shock.
"Are you kidding? How does a beginner Emperor use a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon?"
A mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon required the power of at least forty percent of Heaven and Earth to refine it.
However, the ridicule ceased abruptly as Ling Chen wielded the black longsword.
Almost everyone wore an expression of disbelief.
Even the nine elders were the same.
A beginner Emperor wielding a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon upended everything they knew.
Li Xuankong’s eyes widened in shock as he stared intently at Ling Chen.
"Brother, be careful!"
Ling Chen offered no explanation.
"Green Lotus True Realm!"
Ling Chen shouted lowly, unleashing waves of green and red Sword Qi from the longsword.
Each strand of Sword Qi transformed into blossoms of green and red lotuses.
Thousands of lotus blossoms formed a hundred-meter-wide lotus world.
At this moment, nearly everyone cried out in disbelief.
Even the nine elders were utterly astonished.
Because Ling Chen had executed the eighth form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual—Green Lotus True Realm.
Not to mention achieving this form in just three years, how incredible must Ling Chen’s comprehension be!
But how could a beginner Emperor like Ling Chen manipulate the fifty percent Heaven and Earth power?
The Green Lotus True Realm was a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Technique.
Using it required at least forty percent Heaven and Earth power.
Yet, Ling Chen’s command of the Heaven and Earth power had reached fifty percent!
Everyone was beyond shocked at this moment.
Three years ago, Ling Chen was merely a quasi-Emperor.
He had ascended to Emperor in the Green Lotus Realm.
And now, he possessed the strength of a five-star Emperor.
Surpassing even Li Qingkong!
"Seventh, what’s going on?"
The Great Elder and others looked at the Seventh Elder.
The Seventh Elder guided Ling Chen.
"I don’t know either."
Seventh Elder was genuinely bewildered.
Ling Chen had never shown his true strength before her!
Moreover, Ling Chen’s apparent cultivation was only at the initial stage of three stars.
Even a six-star Emperor couldn’t hide his strength in front of the Great Emperor.
Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged.
"Ling Chen is a cultivator of Spiritual Power and Divine Soul!"
The Seventh Elder trembled as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, the nine elders all extended their senses toward Ling Chen.
Spiritual Power, three stars!
Divine Soul, two stars!
If the two were added, it equaled the fifty percent Heaven and Earth power that Ling Chen displayed!
"Can his combined understanding of Heaven and Earth power really add up?"
The Great Elder was shocked.
As the oldest cultivator in the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, he was the most knowledgeable.
Yet even throughout his long life, he had never seen a method like Ling Chen’s that could combine Heaven and Earth power!
Ling Chen pointed with his longsword, and the green-red lotus world pressed down on Li Xuankong.
"How is this possible?!"
At this moment, Li Xuankong was equally dumbfounded.
However, he was, after all, a prodigy.
He quickly recovered.
A green longsword appeared in his hand, and he too unleashed the Green Lotus True Realm.
The two Green Lotus worlds collided thunderously.
In an instant, it was as if the heavens and earth were shattering, reminiscent of the apocalypse!
Moments later, the terrifying energy dissipated.
"Cousin, those are truly formidable skills!"
Li Xuankong’s eyes flared with battle spirit.
He initially thought Ling Chen would be effortlessly extinguished!
Unexpectedly, Ling Chen’s strength had surpassed Li Qingkong.
This fueled his battle eagerness.
Just now, he too had utilized fifty percent of Heaven and Earth power.
He wanted to see what other methods Ling Chen, a three-star Emperor, possessed!
A three-star Emperor capable of exhibiting a five-star Emperor’s strength was simply unfathomable!
This impact left the crowd utterly stunned.
No one expected Ling Chen, a three-star Emperor, to be this powerful!
With just this one strike, not even an ordinary six-star Emperor could be his match! Dıscover more novels at NovєlFіre.net
This was their Green Lotus Clan’s true skill!
Green Lotus Sword Manual’s eighth form!
Mid-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon!
Three-star Emperor wielding fifty percent Heaven and Earth power!
Each of these feats made them question reality!
Why was Ling Chen, also a member of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, so terrifyingly powerful?
"White-haired brother, you are amazing!"
Li Kaiyan’s mouth gaped in awe, her eyes filled with delight!
From this moment, Ling Chen became her idol.
As for Li Xuankong, he was now history.
