At this moment, Shen Han’s divine soul effortlessly blocked Zheng Changnian’s divine soul.

Four slightly smaller divine souls, as if they were born from a shattering.

They appeared somewhat inconspicuous, but their strength was in no way inferior to Zheng Changnian’s divine soul.

Under various harassments, Zheng Changnian’s divine soul found it somewhat difficult to defend.

In just a moment, his entire divine soul was already covered with scars.

On the other side, Zheng Changnian was utterly unable to spare any attention for his divine soul power.

Faced with sword techniques blending reality and illusion, Zheng Changnian discovered the real difficulty in combat.

In such a short time, he couldn’t see the mystery within.

It was impossible to tell what was real and what was illusory.

Time and again, Zheng Changnian simply ignored the reality or illusion of Shen Han’s sword techniques.

When the saber’s edge slashed toward him, he did not dodge!

It seemed like a game of dare between him and Shen Han.

Before the blades even clashed, Shen Han had already sidestepped, and the sword blade pierced Zheng Changnian’s chest.

The fierce and terrifying sword might surged instantly.

Feeling the sharp pain, Zheng Changnian finally dodged away.

Blood gushed from his chest; if not for his well-crafted inner armor, this sword strike would have been enough to kill him on the spot.

At this moment, Zheng Changnian, hunched over, appeared extremely embarrassed.

His divine soul, entangled by the four divine souls summoned by Shen Han, was already riddled with holes.

The blood continuously gushing from his chest had stained large portions of his clothing a dark red.

In the Spring Mountain Range, everyone watching this scene was stunned.

Their minds were blank; some even patted their heads, seemingly thinking they were hallucinating.

When they came to their senses, the scene before them confirmed that it was all true.

Shen Han was not afraid of Zheng Changnian at all; no threats could intimidate him.

In the past, the people of Cangxuan Valley boasted and teased.

They speculated that Shen Han might not dare step into the mountain range.

Now, the fact lay before them: how could someone with Shen Han’s strength be afraid to enter?

Many people had a preconceived notion.

Since Shen Han won against Qin Tianlang, they assumed his real strength was slightly above Qin Tianlang’s.

Someone like Zheng Changnian, far stronger than Qin Tianlang, must be more powerful than Shen Han.

But in reality, Shen Han’s true strength far surpassed Zheng Changnian.

Witnessing this, except for Yu Chou, all the other sect leaders’ faces turned extremely grim.

Especially Yue Bugong, who only then realized what kind of genius Cangxuan Valley had missed...

The mansion masters from Cangxuan Valley who accompanied them exchanged glances.

Especially Mansion Master Xu of Feixia Mansion and Mansion Master Xie of Chuixue Mansion.

These two mansion masters were the culprits who drove Shen Han away.

If they had followed the rules and had more vision, this situation wouldn’t have happened...

At this moment, the highly respected Divine Dream Elder, Nangong Jin.

Elder Jin’s face looked even worse.

The young friend Changnian, whom he held in high esteem, had completely fallen behind.

The young man he belittled in many ways had humiliated him so.

Yet Sect Leader Yu Chou wore a look of surprise mixed with relief.

Astonished at Shen Han’s strength.

He knew Shen Han was talented, but he didn’t expect him to have such potential.

That such a top disciple could come from the obscure Northern Mountain Domain.

Yu Chou was relieved because, given the current contest, Shen Han should be safe.

During Zheng Changnian’s moment of respite, Shen Han did not relentlessly pursue him.

He leaped toward Zheng Changnian’s divine soul, coordinating with his own divine soul.

Directly shattering Zheng Changnian’s divine soul into fragments.

Even with soul power to repair the divine soul, gathering it again in a short time to regain combat power was impossible.

After everything was done, Shen Han, holding his sword, stepped toward Zheng Changnian.

The one who spoke arrogantly before now looked not only in a sorry state but also bereft of hope for victory.

Yet Zheng Changnian carried some pride, gently wiping the blood off his face and standing up once more.

Behind him, the disciples of Cangxuan Valley cheered for him, encouraging him.

Seeing Zheng Changnian’s persistence, he gripped the long saber, preparing to strike again.

Nangong Jin seemed somewhat moved: "Changnian, this child has exceeded my expectations; surely he will achieve great things in the future."

As he spoke, Nangong Jin rose into the air, looking at Zheng Changnian.

He spoke: "Focus, quiet your mind!"

Seeing him like this, Star Tower Sect Leader Yu Chou immediately stood up.

"Elder Jin, you said you would follow the rules before.

In the contest, how can you speak words of guidance? This should result in an immediate forfeiture!"

Yu Chou said these words loudly, but no one around echoed him. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Elder Wu Pu of White Blade City even glared at him fiercely.

Seemingly displeased with his act of defying Nangong Jin.

But this time, Yu Chou wouldn’t care.

"The rules are set to be followed; isn’t this what you said before?

Now that you’re falling behind, are you starting to act shamelessly?"

Yu Chou, in front of so many people, directly began to question them.

His voice was very loud, echoing through the mountain range, heard by many.

Yet as Yu Chou spoke, Nangong Jin only glanced back at him.

His face was indifferent; the strong have the privilege of ignoring others’ thoughts.

Beside him, several other sect leaders moved slightly closer.

Quietly advising him not to make trouble, saying it wouldn’t be beneficial for him or Star Tower.

But unfortunately, Star Tower wouldn’t accept this.

Just as Yu Chou was about to speak again, Nangong Jin turned his head.

Coldly saying: "If I truly break the rules, I’d act myself.

Words alone, what difference does it make?"

Beneath these words lay a threat.

If Nangong Jin personally intervened, Shen Han’s life would likely be impossible to save.

In the next moment, Nangong Jin continued loudly: "Carefully recall the heart formulas I passed on to you, calm your mind.

Celestial Star Opening, Divine Intent Supports!"

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Changnian’s thoughts seemed to change.

He was muttering: "Celestial Star Opening, Divine Intent Supports..."

In an instant, Zheng Changnian suddenly opened his eyes.

"Stele!"

At the next moment, a large abnormal phenomenon appeared on his figure.

A gigantic being, resembling the Celestial Gate, suspended behind him.

The previously battered Zheng Changnian now had a dramatically different temperament, tinged with a hint of divinity.

No wonder Nangong Jin was called the Divine Dream Elder.

When he unleashed his techniques, it seemed he truly transformed into an Immortal God.

His figure stepped into the void.

At this moment, Zheng Changnian seemed to feel himself ascending to become a god.

His gaze had already turned to indifference.
