Chapter 608 I'm afraid you won't have a chance to strike.
Chu Yangtian immediately ended his cultivation, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into a long rainbow and rushed directly towards the Tai Xuan Palace where the Holy Lord was located.
Outside the main hall, Gu Changkong was just leaving when he saw the menacing Chu Yangtian and let out a long sigh.
"Yang Tian, don't act impulsively."
"Elder Gu, this disciple is confused! Who exactly is Xiao Yan? How can he be above me?"
Chu Yangtian's eyes were bloodshot.
"Come in."
The Holy Lord's calm voice echoed from inside the hall.
Chu Yangtian pushed open the door and entered, kneeling before the elderly man in fine clothes at the head of the table, his voice firm and resolute.
"Master, I am not convinced! Please give your disciple a reason!"
The Holy Lord looked at this disciple on whom he had always placed high hopes, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"Yang Tian, your Blazing Sun Divine Body is indeed a top-tier divine body in this world, unparalleled in attack and defense. Your efforts over the years have been evident to your master."
"Then why...?"
"Because Xiao Yan possesses the Heaven-Burning Sacred Body."
The Holy Lord interrupted him, his tone becoming extremely serious.
"That is a supreme existence that surpasses all fire-attribute divine bodies. In a sense, the Blazing Sun Divine Body is merely a lower branch of the Burning Heaven Sacred Body in the evolution of the Great Dao."
Chu Yangtian was struck dumb, frozen in place.
The Heaven-Burning Sacred Body!
He certainly knew what those four words meant.
That was the legendary Saint-level physique that could lead to enlightenment and the title of Emperor. Although his divine body was powerful, it ultimately had its limits.
"I don't believe it!"
Chu Yangtian suddenly looked up, his eyes shining even brighter.
"Talent is important, but cultivation is about willpower and combat strength! Master, I request to challenge the new Holy Son, Xiao Yan! If he can defeat me, I, Chu Yangtian, will accept the position of Holy Son wholeheartedly; if he loses, then it proves that he cannot protect the eternal glory of my Tai Xuan!"
According to the rules of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, after the Holy Son is established, the top three core disciples in the sequence do have the right to challenge once. As long as the Holy Lord or three or more core elders are present to watch the battle, the challenge is legitimate.
The Holy Lord remained silent for a moment.
He also wanted to see how Xiao Yan's Burning Heaven Sacred Body would perform in actual combat.
After all, one's cultivation level can be increased by accumulating resources, but combat strength and mental fortitude must be tempered by iron and fire.
"Granted."
The Holy Lord said calmly.
"Tomorrow at noon, the competition will take place at the Holy Land's arena. I will personally inform Xiao Yan about it."
........
On the other side, there was the private cave dwelling of the Holy Son of Tai Xuan.
Located at the convergence point of the sacred land's spiritual veins, the area is filled with such rich spiritual energy that it almost liquefies into a thin mist, making even a single breath refreshing.
Lin Hanzhou sat cross-legged on the purple jade platform, feeling the rhythm of his body.
He had just received a telepathic message from Gu Changkong, who informed him of Chu Yangtian's challenge and also gave him a brief overview of his information.
"Chu Yangtian, Blazing Sun Divine Body, Peak of the Immortal Platform Realm."
"Peak of the Sendai Realm... In a typical star field, that would indeed be an invincible existence among peers, but in front of me, it's not enough."
Lin Hanzhou didn't pay much attention, closed his eyes again, and began to cultivate the "Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture".
As someone who had previously attained the status of a Great Emperor, he naturally had the right to disregard the other party.
The next day, it was almost noon.
The area around the central arena of the Tai Xuan Holy Land was already packed with people.
Even many elders who had been in seclusion for years revealed their true forms, hovering in the clouds and looking down.
"Look! It's Senior Brother Chu Yangtian! He's here!"
With a gasp, Chu Yangtian appeared, riding on flames.
He held a crimson longsword that radiated a scorching heat, and he was like a war god. With each step he took, the void trembled.
The aura of a peak Sendai Realm expert was released without reservation, making many disciples present feel suffocated.
"So powerful! Senior Brother Chu's Blazing Sun Divine Body seems to have improved again. His sword intent carries a trace of the Dao-slaying principle; he might break through to a higher realm at any moment!"
"Senior Brother Chu is trying to establish his authority. That newcomer Xiao Yan hasn't shown up yet; he's probably too scared to come out of his cave."
Just as everyone was discussing this, a figure strolled leisurely from the distant clouds.
There was no sky full of divine fire, no astonishing pressure.
Lin Hanzhou was dressed in a simple black holy son robe, his black hair flowing down his shoulders. His expression was so calm that he didn't seem to be participating in a duel concerning status, but rather like a traveler who came here for a stroll.
The Holy Lord sat in the head seat, with several elders at the Saint Realm sitting beside him.
"This child's temperament is truly astonishing."
An elder commented in a low voice.
"Let's see how strong their fighting power is."
The Holy Lord spoke calmly, but a hint of expectation shone in his eyes.
Chu Yangtian stood on the dueling platform, his crimson longsword pointing directly at Lin Hanzhou, his voice like thunder.
"Xiao Yan! You were originally a lowly cultivator from a remote star region. You only managed to awaken a special physique and now you want to seize the position of Holy Son of my Tai Xuan Holy Land?"
"Today I will show you that in this Nine Heavens Continent, only strength is the sole truth!"
Lin Hanzhou slowly landed on the competition platform, not even glancing at Chu Yangtian, but simply patting the dust off his sleeves.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Lin Hanzhou spoke calmly.
"Make your move, or I'm afraid you won't have a chance to strike."
"Arrogant and conceited!"
Chu Yangtian was completely enraged.
As a chosen one of heaven, when had he ever been ignored like this?
"Prepare to die! Blazing Sun Divine Blade Slash!"
Chu Yangtian roared, and his peak Sendai Realm cultivation erupted in an instant.
The void behind him twisted violently, and a golden sun suddenly rose, pouring endless masculine energy into the crimson longsword.
This strike is his signature move, and also a quasi-Emperor level offensive martial art!
The sword light stretched for 30,000 miles, turning the entire arena into a deep crimson gold.
That single slash seemed to cleave the sky in two, and the terrifying heatwave caused the disciples watching to retreat even through the array on the arena.
"Hiss, such terrifying sword light! Senior Brother Chu's swordsmanship has improved again."
"Even some newly-entered Dao-Slaying Realm experts wouldn't dare to take this strike head-on, would they?"
"Has Xiao Yan gone mad? He's just standing there, not moving an inch?"
Lin Hanzhou on the stage did not move.
He simply watched silently as the devastating blade of light descended.
What others saw as a deadly move was, in the eyes of this former emperor, a move riddled with flaws and scattered in power, failing to touch the core of the "Yang" path at all.
"Is this what you call scorching sun?"
Lin Hanzhou murmured softly.
Lin Hanzhou moved when the tip of the knife was less than three feet from his forehead.
He neither drew his sword nor used any magical artifacts.
He simply raised his right fist in a nonchalant manner.
