Chapter 1485: Consecutive Victories

The Heavenly Regret Staff might be a great saint weapon, but the Heavenly Regret Staff Technique was a god-grade technique. Thus, the seventh staff was enough to unleash the might of a Great Saint. With one strike, the space above the ring was reduced into a void. Nothing could stop the path of such a terrifying strike.

This was a technique that could help Sun Doukong defeat all opponents at the Great Saint and lower realms. Fortunately, he had not mastered the final two strikes. Otherwise, he could probably kill even pseudo-Gods.

The onlookers were all alarmed by the strike.

“What a terrifying staff technique. I’m afraid nobody below the God Realm can stop this attack.”

“The Heavenly Regret Staff Technique is a technique whose inheritance was severed. Surprisingly, Sun Doukong had actually gotten his hands on it. If it wasn’t for the terrible injuries he had once suffered, he would already be a Great Saint. With this technique, he is strong enough to be ranked top three among the ten geniuses gathered here today.”

“I wonder if Xiang Shaoyun can stop this strike. If he can, I’ll admit that he’s worthy of the young lady.”

“Xiang Shaoyun fused nine different energies. He can probably stop it with his full strength.”

…

“This is more like it!” said Xiang Shaoyun with raging battle intent. His aura surged, and the Yin Yang Shield reappeared in his hand. He placed the shield before him, protecting him from the incoming strike.

Boom!

As the overbearing strike landed on the shield, the shield started spinning. A massive amount of destruction was unloaded from the shield, weakening the strike by half. As for the other half of the strength behind the strike, it managed to force Xiang Shaoyun to take several steps back.

“Time for your defeat!” Sun Doukong roared as all his astral energy erupted from his body. His strike was further enhanced, as though he was going to destroy the ring itself.

One ought to admit that Sun Doukong was a truly powerful cultivator. TheTrue Martial Academy’s previous eldest senior brother was indeed not to be underestimated.

“You’re not good enough to defeat me,” replied Xiang Shaoyun unyieldingly as he brandished both his hands, causing the Yin Yang Shield to spin even faster. An astonishing force appeared around the shield as even more of the strike’s destructive power was diverted away. Eventually, the staff itself was redirected elsewhere, and Xiang Shaoyun stepped forth and dashed toward Sun Doukong.

Sun Doukong had used all his strength in his attack and had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun could actually divert his entire attack. In fact, the diverting force had even displaced his footing, causing him to reveal an opening.

“No!” Sun Doukong had rich combat experience and knew that Xiang Shaoyun would not miss this opening. As he exclaimed in alarm, he tried to readjust himself, but it was too late. Xiang Shaoyun’s attack had arrived.

“Defeat,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he landed palm after palm on Sun Doukong, sending Sun Doukong flying away while coughing blood.

As Sun Doukong crashed heavily onto the ground, all the onlookers sank into absolute silence. No one had seen Sun Doukong’s defeat coming. In fact, Xiang Shaoyun didn’t at all seem like he was using his full strength.

“I, Zhao Changhe of Kun Mountain Society, am your next opponent,” roared one of the geniuses as he leaped onto the ring.

The Kun Mountain Society was slightly weaker than the Celestial Palace, but Zhao Changhe was a stage higher than Sun Doukong in terms of cultivation. He was nearly 200 years old, the oldest of the 10 geniuses.

He was a water cultivator and had long obtained great mastery over the profundity of water. His palm techniques were incredibly fierce, and his comprehension of palm intent was deep. He was much stronger than even Lei Wuqing, one of Xiang Shaoyun’s past opponents.

Xiang Shaoyun was sure that even Despair could only fight Zhao Changhe to a draw. Facing this opponent, Xiang Shaoyun used water energy. As far as he was concerned, Zhao Changhe was even weaker than Sun Doukong. Thus, he thwarted his opponent with only three moves. He no longer wanted to waste too much time, so he aimed to simplify the way he fought.

After defeating three geniuses in a row, Xiang Shaoyun had proved how outstanding he was. However, some of the geniuses believed that after several battles, he must have exhausted most of his astral energy. They believed that he wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

Thus, a few more challengers stepped into the ring, but none of them could survive more than 10 moves. Eventually, only three geniuses were left. The three were the Nangong Clan’s Nangong Ao; the Great Han Dynasty’s fifth prince, Liu Qingchen; and Zhong Ding, the youngest disciple of the lord guardian Huang Tian.

The three were the strongest of the ten and were all Great Saints. They had the strongest background and strength among the ten. Additionally, these three also had a high likelihood of entering the God Realm before reaching 500 years old.

“You might as well come together,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

“My man is indeed the strongest,” said Devil Concubine, her voice filled with passion.

“Even now, Xiang Shaoyun has yet to use all his strength. He is obviously very confident,” said Mo Yue with a praising look in his eyes.

“The previous seven challengers were regular kings among Saints. As for the remaining three, they are super experts even when compared with kings among Saints. If Xiang Shaoyun can also defeat them, I’ll have nothing else to say,” said Mo Xuwu.

He was right. The final three geniuses were no ordinary people. Each had an incredible combat history and was almost guaranteed to become a God in the future. The Nangong Clan was a top organization from the Southern Wasteland and was even slightly more powerful than the Darkdevil Sect. Nangong Ao himself was the clan’s young master. As someone who had reached the Great Saint Realm at 180 years old, he had enough strength to stand proudly above all his peers.

Nangong Ao was none other than the handsome purple-haired youth. With his good looks, slender and tall body, and the charming luster in his eyes, he possessed a presence that could captivate countless women.

As for Liu Qingchen, he was a tall and sturdy man. He looked to be about 27 years old, an age when a man was most vigorous. He was also incredibly muscular and emanated an aura of strength and a faint aura of elegance, which projected his identity as a member of an imperial clan. He was clearly an outstanding young man.

It was rumored that this fifth prince used to stand a chance to inherit the throne but had willingly given it up because he was fully devoted to martial pursuits. This was how the first prince had successfully become the crown prince.

Zhong Ding, Like Xiang Shaoyun, was the direct disciple of a lord guardian. Zhong Ding’s master was Huang Tian, the lord guardian Xiang Shaoyun had met not long ago. Zhong Ding had the look of an elegant young master. As he stood there, he wore a calm expression and slowly fanned himself as though nothing in the world mattered to him.
