Chapter 1 Only Battle the Top Ten

In the ancient city.

As Lu Changsheng's voice spread, the cultivators clicked their tongues, feeling shocked.

A true prodigy of the Divine Clan had come seeking revenge, but unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng had uttered such words.

Only battle the top ten.

Didn't these four words mean that, apart from the top ten, no one else was qualified to challenge him?

If these words were spoken by someone else, they would probably be ridiculed by countless people, but when Lu Changsheng said this, no one dared to mock him. Even the Divine Clan could only snort a few times.

"Lu Changsheng! Are you afraid?"

Within the ancient city, Wu Xiang Shitian's voice rang out once again. He was very confident and shouted loudly, believing that Lu Changsheng was afraid.

"Now that the true experts of my Divine Clan have appeared, the so-called Heavenly Emperor Lu has lost his voice."

"What about his previous arrogance? What about his previous confidence? Where have they all gone?"

"Only battle the top ten, hahaha, I'm afraid he can't even beat the top hundred!"

Many Divine Clan cultivators spoke, sneering repeatedly.

But they were immediately met with voices from other Divine Clan members.

Some Divine Clan cultivators who had just arrived at Tianxing Ancient City, who had come here with Wu Xiang Shitian to create momentum, were stunned upon hearing these voices.

"May I ask, fellow Daoists of the Divine Clan, if you want to curse, then curse! Why are you cursing in such a sarcastic manner?"

"That's right, why are you suddenly speaking so politely? Just curse openly."

"A waste who doesn't even dare to accept a challenge, yet you're all hiding and tucking when you curse? Are you still disciples of my Divine Clan?"

The newly arrived Divine Clan were a little confused, as they didn't know what was going on, so they felt a little baffled, thinking that they were being too polite, completely lacking the previous posture of the Divine Clan.

Especially one Divine Clan man, who was very arrogant, repeatedly humiliating Lu Changsheng as a waste, standing there, talking bombastically.

When other Divine Clan cultivators heard this voice, they quickly dodged to the side. Not to mention the Divine Clan, many Human Clan cultivators also slipped away quickly.

"Why are you running? Is it necessary? It's just a few curses, are you afraid of being struck by lightning for cursing him?"

This Divine Clan cultivator was a little depressed. As a Divine Clan cultivator, he was respected wherever he went. He could curse whoever he wanted, beat whoever he wanted. Why had everyone become like this?

Had they turned over a new leaf? No way, they had finally been unbanned and could come out and be arrogant for a while. Now you want me to be a good person again?

Rumble!

Before he could think further, in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down from the firmament. Fortunately, this Divine Clan cultivator had only humiliated him as a waste, but had not further humiliated Lu Changsheng, otherwise, he would have undoubtedly died.

As the thunder fell, this Divine Clan cultivator finally understood why everyone was avoiding him.

He was stunned, unable to believe it. Cursing Lu Changsheng would result in being struck by lightning? What kind of evildoer was this? Was it really that exaggerated?

"Lu Changsheng! Don't play tricks. Do you dare to come out and fight? I can let you use one hand."

Wu Xiang Shitian continued to speak. At this moment, in his eyes, there was not only confidence, but also some anger, thinking that Lu Changsheng's delay in responding was somewhat humiliating him.

Especially when Lu Changsheng said, "Only battle the top ten," it was a blatant slap in the face.

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tavern.

Jinwu (Golden Crow) Crown Prince directly put down his wine cup, his face cold as he said, "What a racket, I will go and meet the challenge!"

Jinwu Crown Prince was extremely confident. He had wanted to make a move for the past two years, but if he hadn't been suppressed by the elders of the Jinwu Clan, he would have already made a move.

"Brother Jinwu, can you do it? If not, I'll go."

Peacock King spoke, also eager to make a move.

"A cup of tea will be enough."

Jinwu Crown Prince was extremely confident. Then, he directly left the Drunken Immortal Tavern.

Soon, pairs of eyes were fixed on Jinwu Crown Prince.

He wore a Jinwu robe, stood with his hands behind his back, and had a handsome and refined appearance. Golden flames surrounded him, even stronger than before, looking at Wu Xiang Shitian with a calm gaze.

"The Jinwu Clan..."

Wu Xiang Shitian frowned slightly as he looked at Jinwu Crown Prince and slowly spoke.

But soon, Wu Xiang Shitian continued, "Your Jinwu Clan has an excellent relationship with my Divine Clan. Several of your clan's elders are still mounts of some of my Divine Clan's experts, with some friendships and karma. Let Lu Changsheng come, and I will not humiliate you."

Wu Xiang Shitian was very confident as he looked at Jinwu Crown Prince, standing with his hands behind his back. At the same time, he mentioned that the Jinwu Clan had an excellent relationship with the Divine Clan, and several elders were still mounts of Divine Clan experts. These words were clearly a humiliation to Jinwu Crown Prince.

However, this was also the truth. The Jinwu Clan had indeed bowed their heads to the Divine Clan in earlier years, and were even willing to become the mounts of the Divine Clan. Because of this, many divine beasts felt ashamed, and even in the Immortal Realm, many forces inexplicably disliked the Jinwu Clan.

Therefore, Wu Xiang Shitian was not wrong to say these words.

However, Jinwu Crown Prince quietly looked at Wu Xiang Shitian, then said calmly, "A battle outside the city, to determine superiority, and also to determine life and death!"

The voice resounded, and millions of cultivators were surprised. They had not expected Jinwu Crown Prince to be so confident, and to dare say such words.

"Good! Today, I will let you know what rules are."

Wu Xiang Shitian was angry. He was indeed angry. He had been here for a full incense stick of time, but Lu Changsheng had not responded at all. Instead, he had said, "Only battle the top ten."

How could he not be angry? Now that Jinwu Crown Prince had taken the initiative to challenge him, his anger erupted in his chest like a volcano.

Boom! Boom!

Two beams of light soared into the sky, directly crossing eight thousand miles away. They did not choose to fight in the ancient city. This was the rule of the Divine Clan's higher-ups. Either wait until the True Dragon Assembly began, or fight outside. In short, unauthorized battles were not allowed in the ancient city.

Eight thousand miles away.

Jinwu Crown Prince had just landed, and without any nonsense, a celestial sword filled with Jinwu True Fire appeared directly in his palm. As soon as the Jinwu Celestial Sword appeared, the temperature within a thousand miles rose sharply.

Clang!

Without any hesitation, Jinwu Crown Prince slashed out with his sword. The sword energy stretching ten thousand miles forcibly cut off hundreds of mountains.

Wu Xiang Shitian was also extremely terrifying. He had no magical treasures or weapons, and fought with his physical body. A pair of azure fists seemed to contain the power of the Great Dao. Azure light soared into the sky, and the force of a fist shattered the void, and the sound of a dragon's roar was heard.

The battle between Jinwu Crown Prince and Wu Xiang Shitian was extremely terrifying.

Both of them were peerless geniuses, and their realms were both in the Immortal Saint Realm. Wu Xiang Shitian had already challenged Jinwu Crown Prince some years ago, but at that time, Jinwu Crown Prince did not accept the challenge.

Therefore, Wu Xiang Shitian also harbored a grudge against Jinwu Crown Prince, after all, he had blocked his chance to rise on the True Dragon List, so naturally, he had a grudge against Jinwu Crown Prince.

As the battle broke out, Jinwu Crown Prince did not hold back at all.

The phenomenon of ten suns appearing in the sky emerged, burning the heavens. Eight thousand miles away, flames engulfed everything, and Jinwu Crown Prince was like a god of fire.

Wu Xiang Shitian also unleashed a monstrous rage. A hundred-foot-tall dharma body emerged from behind him, with three heads and six arms, surrounded by azure light, trembling the void. Stars trembled. Both of them intended to fight to the death, so naturally, they would not hold back.

This death battle was too fierce, and as they pushed forward, mountains were destroyed and spiritual veins were shattered.

Their battle had reached a fever pitch, bringing out true fire.

"Da Luo Suppresses the Heavens!"

Wu Xiang Shitian roared, surrounded by the power of laws, and then immortal power gathered, transforming into an ancient seal, cracking the firmament, shattering everything, and hitting Jinwu Crown Prince with extreme speed.

Pfft!

Jinwu Crown Prince's left shoulder was directly shattered, his white bones stained with blood, scattering across the sky. He fought too fiercely, and also brought out an unparalleled spirit, but unfortunately, Wu Xiang Shitian was indeed powerful, shattering his left shoulder.

However, Jinwu Crown Prince was also extremely fierce. The moment his left shoulder was shattered, he directly attacked, his right hand transformed into a Jinwu claw, incomparably sharp, forcibly tearing off a piece of Wu Xiang Shitian's flesh, revealing the white bone, looking shocking.

"You're dead!"

Wu Xiang Shitian roared. One reason was that it hurt too much, and the other was a sense of humiliation. He was a high and mighty member of the Divine Clan, and now that he was injured like this, he naturally felt that his face was lost.

In an instant, Wu Xiang Shitian attacked again. His boxing was broad and open, his physical body seemed invincible, brave and forward, bringing out an unparalleled spirit.

Jinwu Crown Prince was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he met the fist head-on. His physical body was shining with golden light, self-repairing his injuries, but Wu Xiang Shitian did not seem to give him a chance to breathe at all.

The two clashed once again, fighting fiercely to the sky, and millions of cultivators watched in shock. Eight thousand miles away, countless mountains were destroyed, and countless miles of void were shattered.

The battle between geniuses was indeed extremely wonderful.

"Who do you think will win this battle?"

Someone asked, unable to help but ask.

"Is there any need to think? Naturally, Wu Xiang Shitian will win. Wu Xiang Shitian is, after all, a Divine Clan genius who appeared two years ago, fought seventy-two battles, with seventy-one wins and one draw. Jinwu Crown Prince is strong, but compared to the Divine Clan, he is slightly lacking."

"That's right, Wu Xiang Shitian is indeed powerful, cultivating the Da Luo Technique, his physical body is invincible, comparable to a true dragon. I think Wu Xiang Shitian is slightly better."

"Naturally, my Divine Clan's genius can win. Lord Wu Xiang is a peerless genius from the twenty-second heaven. He is also one of the best in my Divine Clan. The Jinwu Clan is strong, a natural divine beast, but in my Divine Clan, they can only be reduced to mounts."

People spoke. Divine Clan cultivators naturally supported the Divine Clan, but many Human Clan cultivators also leaned towards the Divine Clan. After all, the Divine Clan had indeed been very powerful in the past two years.

"No, I think Jinwu Crown Prince will win."

Someone spoke, thinking that Jinwu Crown Prince could win.

"Why?"

"How can you tell?"

Many people were curious. Most people thought that Wu Xiang Shitian could win. Jinwu Crown Prince was indeed at a disadvantage. Anyone with eyes could see that.

"Is there any need to ask? Jinwu Crown Prince is a friend of Heavenly Emperor Lu. You must know that luck is also a kind of strength sometimes!"

That person replied, arguing with reason.

In an instant, many cultivators were stunned. Some cultivators wanted to say something, but in the end, they remained silent, because what this person said...was really reasonable.

Just like that, time passed little by little.

The time for a cup of tea had already passed.

Thirteen thousand miles away, the two fought, pushing westward for five thousand miles. At this moment, both were covered in blood. Jinwu Crown Prince's injuries were the most serious, but Wu Xiang Shitian was not much better.

To be honest, Jinwu Crown Prince indeed underestimated Wu Xiang Shitian's strength. He suffered a great loss, not because of contempt, but because he didn't expect the other party to be so powerful.

His physical body was terrifying, comparable to a true dragon, and with a fist and a palm, he could shatter a star.

Jinwu Crown Prince was covered in blood, and his bones were broken three or four times. If he wasn't a divine beast with the Jinwu bloodline, quickly self-healing, he would have already been defeated.

However, on Wu Xiang Shitian's chest, there were also several terrifying claw marks, deep enough to see the bone, bloody, with the flesh turned out, making people frown.

"It's time to end this!"

Having fought to this point, Wu Xiang Shitian took a deep breath. His voice resounded for thousands of miles, causing countless cultivators to frown, not knowing what he meant by these words.

And the next moment, Wu Xiang Shitian slowly stretched out his hands. On each wrist, there was a silver dragon bracelet.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Great Dao runes permeated from the bracelets, and then the runes were branded on his physical body.

In an instant, Wu Xiang Shitian's strength soared wildly. His physical body was like divine iron poured into him, surrounded by divine light. With every move, space trembled, and Wu Xiang Shitian's strength was greatly improved.

"Roar!"

A terrifying dragon roar resounded, and a silver dragon phantom was wrapped around him. Although he was also at the early stage of the Immortal Saint Realm, at this moment, his strength had greatly increased, forcibly raising a small realm, reaching the middle stage of the Immortal Saint Realm.

For geniuses like them, their combat power would far exceed their current realm, so he did not suppress his realm. Reaching the middle stage of the Immortal Saint Realm was equivalent to an instant increase of nearly a hundred times his strength.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Billions of stars trembled. At this moment, thirteen thousand miles away, the sun and moon were without light, and the night was vast, as if the world was being destroyed.

"Terrifying! It is rumored that the Divine Clan's major geniuses will suppress their own realms, pursuing the ultimate battle. I never expected this to be true. He used supreme sacred artifacts to seal his realm, suppressing it in the early stage of the Immortal Saint Realm. When the real battle comes, he will unlock the restrictions. He is indeed a Divine Clan genius."

"Jinwu Crown Prince is doomed."

"Hopefully, it won't be too much. If he kills Jinwu Crown Prince, I'm afraid it will bring great trouble."

"There is almost no chance of winning."

"Lost!"

People discussed, watching the battle in the distance. Now that Wu Xiang Shitian had lifted the restrictions, showing his true strength, destroying the heavens and the earth, causing people to despair, countless cultivators subconsciously believed that Jinwu Crown Prince would undoubtedly lose.

"Now, do you still dare to say that Jinwu Crown Prince will win?"

A Divine Clan cultivator sneered, looking at the cultivator who had said that Jinwu Crown Prince would win earlier, mocking him like this.

"I still believe that Jinwu Crown Prince will win!"

The latter said seriously, but what he received was various ridicules.

"Da Luo Dragon Fist."

Boom!

Thirteen thousand miles away, Wu Xiang Shitian unleashed his ultimate skill, Da Luo Dragon Fist. In an instant, the dragon roar shook the heavens, louder than thunder, and a ten-thousand-foot dragon shadow killed Jinwu Crown Prince at extreme speed.

Bang!

With almost no suspense, Jinwu Crown Prince was blasted away for tens of thousands of miles, his physical body cracked, and his primordial spirit almost shattered. Golden blood was scattered across the sky, a terrible sight.

"Brother Jinwu!"

"Friend Jinwu!"

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tavern, everyone's faces changed drastically after seeing this scene, and they stood up one after another, worried about Jinwu Crown Prince.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, seeing this situation, Wu Xiang Shitian is probably intent on killing. Please save him."

Supreme Xuanji spoke, begging Lu Changsheng to help.

"That's right, Senior Brother Changsheng, Brother Jinwu is in danger."

Peacock King also spoke. He wanted to let his father take action, but he knew that his father would never take action, not because he wouldn't help, but because his father had said before coming that Immortal Kings would not move, and he would not move either. Once he took action, then the next battle would be a battle of Immortal Kings.

"Don't worry, Brother Jinwu will win."

However, Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry, and only said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, Supreme Xuanji, Ye Rujin, and Peacock King were all stunned.

Not to mention them, many Divine Clan cultivators also heard what Lu Changsheng said.

After all, Jinwu Crown Prince had left, and there was no Jinwu Divine Bell to suppress the sound, so naturally, it would be heard by other cultivators.

In the ancient city, which cultivator was not a strong person? As long as they were willing, all the sounds in the city could be heard, and some truly powerful cultivators could also intercept the other party's divine sense transmission.

Naturally, what Lu Changsheng said was basically heard by all the cultivators.

"Laughable! It's already like this, and he still dares to say he can win? What will he win with?"

"Indeed laughable. This Jinwu has broken through to the early stage of the Immortal Saint Realm, and it is impossible to break through the realm in a short period of time. Lord Wu Xiang's true strength is in the middle stage of the Immortal Saint Realm. He is a peerless genius, and the gap of a small realm is a hundred times the gap. How can the Jinwu Clan win?"

"Lu Changsheng, you are indeed very strong, but compared to the true geniuses of my Divine Clan, you are still not enough. The most important thing is that you are blindly confident, which is simply sad and sighing!"

"That's right, although you are very strong, it's a pity that you are too confident. I really don't know who gave you the confidence."

"The cultivation method that Lord Wu Xiang practices is the Da Luo True Dragon Art. Although it is not the legendary True Dragon Ancient Method, it is the supreme divine power closest to the True Dragon Ancient Method. The Jinwu Clan is overestimating itself."

"It's really going to make people die of laughter, still the name of Heavenly Emperor Lu. You deserve it... It's quite deserving, but you are too blindly confident."

Divine Clan cultivators spoke one after another. They almost realized that as long as they didn't insult Lu Changsheng and insult the people behind him, it was okay to discuss a few words.

It was just that some Divine Clan cultivators were about to humiliate Lu Changsheng, but they immediately realized Lu Changsheng's strangeness, forcibly changing their words, for fear of being struck by lightning.

However, Lu Changsheng in the Drunken Immortal Tavern was very calmly looking at the battle tens of thousands of miles away.

He withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Divine Clan cultivators in other restaurants, his face calm, but he still slowly spoke.

"Have you heard of...verbal dharma?" (言出法随, yán chū fǎ suí, verbal dharma means your words become the law/reality)

Lu Changsheng's voice resounded, and all the cultivators couldn't help but be stunned.

They wanted to say something, but they didn't know why, they just couldn't say it!

Boom!

At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away, Jinwu Crown Prince was no longer human. His bones were broken all over his body, and his primordial spirit had dimmed a lot.

He was almost dying.

It was really hard to imagine how Jinwu Crown Prince could win this fierce battle.

At this moment, Wu Xiang Shitian seemed to have turned into a silver dragon, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

In his eyes, Jinwu Crown Prince was already a dead man.

"Die!"

Wu Xiang Shitian killed out, transforming into a true dragon, wanting to completely kill Jinwu Crown Prince.

But at this moment.

Jinwu Crown Prince's voice slowly resounded.

"Senior Brother Changsheng...I understand."
