Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1026: Earth Desolate Sword

"Yun Xiao, I must say, you really have guts!"

As Bai Wushuang slowly stepped onto the arena, the first words he uttered showcased his usual arrogance, with a touch of high-handed superior demeanor.

Such demeanor, when seen by the Meridian Refining Masters of Lianyun Mountain who were spectating, seemed so natural. Among the younger generation of the entire Lianyun Mountain, perhaps only Ye Ku from the Sky Poison Institute could compare with Bai Wushuang.

"If breaking through to Half-step Earth Realm is your greatest reliance, then I can only apologize!"

Staring at the refined figure of the Heavenly Hospital's foremost genius across from him, Yun Xiao's face showed no expression, as if he had forgotten what happened at the Refining Treasure Hall, calmly discussing a trivial matter.

"What? Half-step Earth Realm?!"

Upon hearing the whisper from Yun Xiao's mouth, most of the people below the arena had drastic changes in their expressions, including Ye Ku, the foremost genius of the Sky Poison Institute, because he too had not noticed Bai Wushuang's breakthrough to Half-step Earth Realm beforehand.

In fact, aside from those elders from the northern part of Lianyun Mountain, almost no one could see the difference in Bai Wushuang compared to before.

After all, in the previous two rounds of battles, Bai Wushuang hadn't had the chance to exert his full strength. With him intentionally hiding, if it weren't for someone monstrous like Yun Xiao, it would be impossible to notice.

"This guy is hiding really deep!"

Ye Ku, usually neck and neck with Bai Wushuang, couldn't help but secretly celebrate at this time, because if Yun Xiao hadn't intervened, his next opponent would have been Bai Wushuang.

If Bai Wushuang unexpectedly displayed Half-step Earth Realm strength, it would surely surprise Ye Ku, as the battle between masters happens in an instant, even Ye Ku doesn't know what might happen in that brief moment.

But while everyone was shocked at Bai Wushuang's Half-step Earth Realm cultivation, they were puzzled by Yun Xiao's provocation earlier. Knowing this one is a Half-step Earth Realm talent, why challenge head-on?

Previously, they only knew Bai Wushuang as a Peak Seeking Origin Realm talent, and they didn't think Yun Xiao could win. Now that the former reached a higher level, the odds of that poorly dressed youth winning seem gravitating towards zero.

"Your sensing is not bad, but it doesn't matter. In today's battle, you won't leave this arena alive!"

Bai Wushuang, revealed by Yun Xiao, showed no sign of concern. As his words fell, he extended his right hand, the faint aura surrounding it signaled his great difference from ordinary Peak Seeking Origin Realm cultivators.

It seemed as if even the ground beneath Bai Wushuang's feet was under his control. This sensation was only sensed on Earth Bending Realm experts by many meridian refining masters.

In fact, Bai Wushuang at this moment was merely at Half-step Earth Realm, strictly still Peak Seeking Origin Realm. It's a process of transition from Seeking Origin Realm to Earth Bending Realm, his Earth power control just minimal.

Of course, controlling and initiating Earth power are two completely different concepts, at least for Ye Kusi Mo and others at this moment, an overwhelming aura could be felt from Bai Wushuang.

"What a coincidence, I think the same, in today's battle, whoever admits defeat or flees, Heavenly Tribulation will descend and inevitably turn one to ashes!"

While everyone was intimidated by Bai Wushuang's momentum, on the other end of the arena stood a poorly dressed youth who inadvertently took a Heavenly Tribulation Poison Oath, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"No need to be so ruthless, what deep-seated hatred exists between Yun Xiao and Brother Wushuang?"

At this moment, some sharp-minded people could clearly sense the venomous intent in Yun Xiao's words, secretly wondering that perhaps the two had formed an undying vendetta.

But Yun Xiao had only joined Lianyun Mountain for over a month, and their only interaction should've been the trip to the Refining Treasure Hall, so this irreconcilable enmity must have been forged there.

Naturally, nobody knew the details of the grudge between Yun Xiao and Bai Wushuang, but when they heard Yun Xiao's Heavenly Tribulation Poison Oath and felt that formless Heaven and Earth pressure descending, they realized this arena battle had turned into an undying life-and-death duel.

"That's your decision, I hope you don't regret it!"

Bai Wushuang sensed the Heaven and Earth rules descending, he had no retreat. With these words, the half-step Earth's Meridian Qi swept out, almost filling the entire central arena.

"Earth Desolation!"

A deep voice emerged from Bai Wushuang's mouth, followed by the crowd's clear sensing, as if something underfoot was suddenly stirred by Bai Wushuang.

If anyone stood on the stage, they'd find as Bai Wushuang's technique unfolded, the ground seemed to turn a few shades arid, obviously a strand of Earth Qi was extracted by some method.

This is where Half-step Earth Realm stands superior to ordinary Peak Seeking Origin Realm cultivators, and this Earth Desolation is actually an Earth Rank Advanced special meridian technique, wielded by Bai Wushuang now, undoubtedly doubling its power.

Strictly speaking, only a true Earth Bending Realm expert can cultivate this Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Technique to great success. Previously, Bai Wushuang, even when using Earth Desolation Meridian Techniques, could not reach such a level, but now that he's broken through to a half-step Earth Bending Realm, he is evidently a little different.

The so-called Earth Desolation Meridian Techniques use the means of controlling Earth Power to draw out all the vitality from beneath the earth, thereby unleashing powerful attack forces.

And this land, once it loses its vitality, will undoubtedly become extremely desolate, perhaps this is the origin of the word "Desolation."

At this moment, Yun Xiao clearly felt a suction force rising from beneath his feet, as if trying to draw out certain things from within his body.

However, this did not make Yun Xiao feel even the slightest apprehension. Having broken through to the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage, and with a month of consolidation, at least at this level of the Origin Seeking Realm, he is already an invincible existence.

As long as the opponent hasn't broken through to the true Earth Bending Realm, Yun Xiao has ways to deal with it, not to mention that some of his formidable methods have yet to be seen by the world.

No one noticed that at this moment, Yun Xiao's right leg lightly tapped the ground, and then the Ancestor Vein Power of the Earth Attribute erupted forth, causing the Devouring Power trying to absorb his vitality to vanish instantly.

"Earth Desolate Sword!"

Bai Wushuang, of course, also knew that merely a swipe of vitality-devouring power was not capable of affecting Yun Xiao, his strongest method was this ensuing attack.

A giant earthy yellow sword slowly took shape in front of Bai Wushuang. It looked like an illusory sword formed by Meridian Qi, but it actually contained vitality from the earth within, and its power far exceeded that of ordinary Earth Rank Middle-Level Meridian Techniques.

From that earthy yellow giant sword, many people felt a sense of dread. Even Sky Poison Institute's top genius, Ye Ku, was silently weighing in his heart whether he could withstand the Earth Desolate Sword stimulated by the earth's vitality.

"It's over!"

Feeling the vast power within the Earth Desolate Sword, Bai Wushuang felt a bit triumphant, and the three words from his mouth seemed quite similar to what Yun Xiao said to Li Gongnian before, though this time the one in the lower position had become Yun Xiao.

Almost everyone did not think Yun Xiao could withstand this Earth Desolate Sword. That was a deadly weapon made by Bai Wushuang, who was at the half-step Earth Bending Realm, using vitality condensed from the earth. If it hits, it would likely result in a fate of death and disappearance.

After all, the one about to endure Earth Desolate Sword's attack is just a young man at the Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage. Without means far surpassing Earth Rank Advanced Meridian Techniques, this Earth Desolate Sword could directly pierce him to oblivion.

But how could the spectators know that the roughly dressed boy standing on the arena possesses methods, which even if all of them combined feared would fall short.

Swish!

At this moment, seeing Yun Xiao extend his right hand, a mass of blood-red flame appeared out of thin air, then on his left hand, appeared a touch of Ice Cold Power.

Two completely different Ice and Fire Powers were fiercely slapped together by Yun Xiao, and at the same time, a special aura suddenly emanated from between his torso and legs.

"Roar!"

Then, everyone clearly saw an Ice and Fire Giant Dragon suddenly forming in front of Yun Xiao, whose skyward roar caused many to feel a chill in their hearts.

"Is it once again the means of this Ice and Fire Giant Dragon?"

Seeing that skyward roaring Ice and Fire Giant Dragon, Bai Wushuang felt it somewhat familiar, recalling when Yun Xiao summoned this Ice and Fire Giant Dragon at the top of Treasure Mountain, swallowing that Ninth-Order Strange Spirit whole.

"Then let me see, is your Ice and Fire Giant Dragon stronger, or is my Bai Wushuang's Earth Desolate Sword more formidable?"

Even though the Ice and Fire Giant Dragon has the record of defeating Ninth Rank low-level Strange Spirits, Bai Wushuang did not retreat even a bit at this time. Perhaps it's his pride having broken through to a half-step Earth Bending Realm, or perhaps it's his confidence in the Earth Desolate Sword.

In short, this time, he was determined to forge ahead without other thoughts.

Boom!

The giant earthy yellow sword and Ice and Fire Giant Dragon finally collided fiercely, and the imagined scene of destruction did not appear, the forms of two powerful Meridian Techniques stalling in mid-air.

The Ice and Fire Giant Dragon bit into the tip of the earthy-yellow sword, while the entire dragon body seemed to tremble slightly, and it was equally impossible for the earthy yellow giant sword to pierce into the dragon's mouth.

The sight left the spectators below the arena somewhat stunned. This was completely contrary to what they initially thought. Wasn't that roughly dressed young man supposed to instantly lose under Bai Wushuang's Earth Desolate Sword?
