Chapter 453 The Power of Breaking the Dao
Rumble!
The Supreme Platform was destroyed, the array flags collapsed, and all kinds of rules were destroyed. People from all major forces were shocked, and some experts couldn't help but step forward to suppress it.
Long, long time passed before the smoke and dust in the arena gradually subsided, the rules of heaven and earth reappeared, the Supreme Platform reappeared faintly, and light and sound regained their medium and carrier, becoming perceptible once more.
"Huh? They've all come out!"
At that moment, someone spotted the participating disciple who had landed in front of the crowd in the stands.
"Yes, disciples from my peak have also come out."
"The Supreme Platform has been destroyed, and they have all returned to the mortal world!"
"Where are Li Shi and the nine great prodigies?"
Everyone was surprised and eager to know the outcome of the battle.
"There it is!"
At that moment, a loud shout rang out, and an old man exclaimed incredulously, "Li Shi... seems to have won?"
All eyes in the arena were fixed on the very center of the platform.
The Supreme Platform was already built to be tall and large. Now that it had completely cracked and collapsed, a huge pit appeared in the center. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that there were many figures in the pit!
The most conspicuous one was Li Lan. He stood calmly, just as he had in the Fallen Cloud Valley. His clothes were not torn at all, and his face was as calm as ever, as if this battle had no effect on him.
Around him, the nine masters were all lying in disarray!
Dongfang Heng, a powerful Azure Dragon expert and the head of the four true disciples, sat cross-legged at this moment, his face pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and his aura extremely weak.
The White Tiger, usually fierce and powerful, was now covered in blood. He stood with difficulty, his back hunched, his body dripping with blood, leaving one wondering what he had been through.
Zhuque's clothes were completely torn apart, as if he had been struck by some unknown force. His flesh and blood were blurred, and he was almost turned into a bloody figure.
Even Zhou Yuqing, who possessed the Xuanhuang Great World, was extremely pale at this moment. He covered the bloody hole in his chest with his hand, but blood was gushing out of the hole and he could hardly stop it.
In addition, the five spiritual disciples of Ancestral Spirit Peak were also in a terrible state. Three of them had fallen to the ground, their fates unknown, while the other two were in extremely poor condition and could barely move!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"What happened? Did the nine geniuses still lose?"
"That's right. Li Shi was completely unharmed, but the other nine experts were all killed or injured... This is terrifying!"
"Li Shi fought nine opponents alone and still won? How is that possible?"
They all spoke, their eyes filled with disbelief; the scene before them was truly shocking!
Zhou Yuqing, Xu Jian, Dongfang Heng... which of these names doesn't shake the region and awe the world?
Among their generation, they were virtually invincible.
But now they're in such a sorry state, fighting side by side, and yet they've ended up like this...
"Yuqing!"
"East!"
"Quick, go check on Xu Jian and the others!"
The elders of Zuling Peak and Taiye Peak, after their initial shock, immediately sprang into action. Streams of light descended into the arena as they helped up the geniuses of their respective factions and quickly checked their condition.
"What?! The Dao Fruit has been destroyed?!"
An elder examined the White Tiger's condition and, upon discovering that the White Tiger's Daoist aura had dissipated and its cultivation greatly diminished, was filled with rage. He exclaimed, "Li Shi, how cruel you are!"
"My five spiritual sons... you actually severed their dantian?! Are you trying to cut off their path?!"
Meanwhile, the elders of Zuling Peak were furious when they saw that Xu Jian and the others' dantians were damaged. Their eyes were practically spitting fire.
"Yuqing...his blood and energy have been completely depleted!?"
After examining Zhou Yuqing's injuries, an elder from Taiye Peak was stunned. He instinctively turned to look at the Peak Master, his voice trembling, "Peak Master... Yuqing's qi and blood are completely depleted!"
For a moment, even Ren Chaofeng and Luo Changsheng couldn't help but get up from their seats and walk over.
The entire audience erupted in uproar, and the elders' reactions undoubtedly confirmed their suspicions.
"Li Shizhen has truly defeated the nine geniuses! My God, what extraordinary talent and ability he possesses! To overpower the nine geniuses, his cultivation potential is undoubtedly the greatest in this era!"
"Invincible, this is the true invincible one. What about the Five Great Spiritual Sons? What about the Four True Disciples? They are all just supporting characters, just stepping stones."
"Li Shi's cultivation is too strong; he is an anomaly destined to rise to power!"
People from all the major peaks spoke up one after another.
"Wow, Li Shi is so handsome!"
"I wonder if he is already married?"
"No one is allowed to take it from me!"
Some young women were now even starting to swoon over Li Lan.
"The appearance of such a genius is a blessing for our Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm."
"Indeed, the situation is so perilous now. Only the emergence of such a ruthless person can bring us a different kind of hope."
"This child is most likely a true anomaly!"
Meanwhile, the other older generation members all began to pay more attention to Li Lan.
Previously, when Li Lan had only shown some talent, people regarded him as a pawn, a joke, or an ignorant and naive young man...
However, Li Lan's cultivation level is now so powerful that it has changed everyone's perception.
The younger generation can only look up to him.
Because his strength far surpasses that of his peers, they are not even on the same level. All nine masters were defeated, and Li Lan is destined to be an insurmountable mountain.
Both the middle-aged and elderly generations saw hope in Li Lan.
For a time, Li Lan became incredibly popular!
"Does such a vicious person deserve to become a supreme being in my Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm?!"
But at that moment, one of the elders in the room suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke, his words chilling!
This elder was the master of the White Tiger of Taiye Peak, and his name was Songming.
He walked straight out, his face contorted with extreme anger, and said:
"The Supreme Grand Competition was originally just for friendly sparring, with the aim of selecting suitable candidates for advancement. However, this boy has been ruthless towards the nine geniuses, causing their Dao Fruit cultivation and other aspects to be affected to varying degrees... Such sinister intentions are enough to show that this boy is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I suspect that he was sent by those mysterious forces with the goal of severely damaging my Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm!"
"I suggest we arrest this person, interrogate him thoroughly, and get to the bottom of this!"
His words shocked everyone present.
"What does this mean? Are you planning to deny everything and then turn around and blame us?"
"Aren't the people from Taiye Peak a bit too shameless? They can't even be geniuses themselves, so they throw mud at others!"
"Such dedication is evident. Is the rise of a genius worth such suppression?"
The public was in an uproar, and the other members of the main peak in the room all spoke up, showing great disdain!
Song Ming's expression was somewhat grim, but at that moment, another powerful voice rang out:
"What Elder Songming said was a bit too direct, but it wasn't without merit!"
All eyes were on Zhao Si, an elder of Ancestral Spirit Peak, who spoke this time.
Elder Zhao Si said coldly, "Everyone, think about it carefully. In all these years, whenever a genius has emerged in my Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, it is known to all."
"But what about Li Shi? Has anyone ever heard of him before? This kid seems to have appeared out of nowhere."
"Moreover, with such talent, he actually went to study under a nobody like Tian Shi Peak. Isn't that extraordinary?"
"Furthermore, what is the origin of the spiritual sword he condensed during his battle with the nine geniuses, and why does it possess such immense power... Don't you suspect that it might be an ominous object?"
"The current situation is difficult, with ominous and unsettling forces eyeing our secret realms with predatory intent. We must be especially careful of someone like Li Shi, whose origins are unknown..."
His reasoning was sound and his persuasive approach led many people to reflect on his words.
"Indeed, Li Shi's appearance was somewhat sudden."
"I've never heard of this before, but recently it's risen like a comet..."
"There are some problems!"
Many people spoke up.
"Therefore, our Ancestral Spirit Peak intends to first invite young friend Li Shi into the peak, and have the peak masters of all regions investigate with us until the truth is revealed. If young friend is indeed innocent, then it will be a great blessing for our Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm. At that time, our Ancestral Spirit Peak is willing to treat him with the utmost respect and provide young friend Li Shi with all the necessary Daoist scriptures, resources, etc."
Zhao Si then spoke.
He spoke so succinctly that no one could find any flaws in his words.
Even Song Ming, who spoke first, couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Si was much more cunning than himself.
"Who says Li Shi's origins are shrouded in mystery?"
But at that moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked over.
She was dressed in a snow-white gown, spotless, seemingly unaffected by the collapse of the supreme battlefield. She stood with her hands behind her back, entered the arena, smiled calmly, and said:
"Li Shi is the true successor chosen by the Heavenly Emperor!"
Successor of the Heavenly Emperor!
The moment those four words were uttered, everyone in the room was shocked and in an uproar.
"What? The successor chosen by the Heavenly Emperor? The Heavenly Emperor has clearly passed away long ago..."
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao is already considered the successor of the Heavenly Emperor, so how come there's another one like this..."
"I received news before that a genius who cultivates the Heavenly Emperor's Path has emerged in that turbid world, and is related to the Heavenly Emperor..."
Many people spoke up.
The Heavenly Emperor is a very special being to many forces in the Other Shore.
He never entered the other side, but he left a trace of himself there.
In ancient times, when the entire other shore was plunged into chaos, it was the figure of the Heavenly Emperor who stopped those strange creatures.
Therefore, the various secret realms were given a chance to breathe.
In fact, Shangguan Xiaoxiao even saved the Jin Yun Mountain Secret Realm once later.
Therefore, the descendants of the Heavenly Emperor naturally receive great attention.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan no longer concealed anything and transformed, revealing her true appearance.
Now that things have come to this, Li Lan is in the eye of the storm and will attract everyone's attention.
Previously, he could use the identity of "an old friend of Xiaoxiao" to cover it up, but now that he has reached such a height, the major forces in the secret realm will definitely investigate thoroughly.
Instead of hiding things, it's better to act openly and honestly.
"It's him! It really is him, the Dao Breaker, Li Lan!"
Upon seeing this scene, an elder in the crowd stood up excitedly and said, "Our peak has received definite news that a Dao Breaker named Li Lan has appeared in the Turbid World, who has activated the Gate of the Other Shore. This matter has alarmed the entire Mysterious World, and many Mysterious Beings want to capture Li Lan!"
"Li Shi is Li Lan... No wonder, no wonder he has such talent and combat prowess!"
The old man was quite excited!
