"One Sword Breaks All Laws!"
As Li Xuan finished speaking, the Shi Jian, which had been accumulating power for a long time, vibrated, and then a sword strike instantly slashed towards Ming He Yue's position.
While everyone watched in shock, the Ming Chang Envoy's figure suddenly moved, appearing outside the Ming Yu Barrier directly from his high chair. With a movement of his hands, a spiritual light shot into the Ming Yu Barrier again.
Seeing this, everyone was once again shocked. The Ming Chang Envoy was actually reinforcing the Ming Yu Barrier. Could it be that the upcoming battle would be able to break through the Ming Yu Barrier?
"So you also hid some means. But my current strength has reached the peak of the Boundary Fusion Realm! With your abilities, do you still think you can contend with me! Kid, die!"
Ming He Yue naturally felt the power of Li Xuan's sword strike. However, Ming He Yue, whose body was now filled with power, had his nerves clouded by his immense strength. As soon as he finished speaking, he struck out a palm towards Li Xuan.
Boom!
As Ming He Yue unleashed his palm strike, a radiant dark light, ten thousand feet high, instantly appeared. It then surged forward like a tidal wave. As it collided with the Shi Jian, a deafening explosion resounded through heaven and earth.
Even in this Underworld space, the ground violently trembled. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, cracks appeared in the earth. These cracks then spread out in all directions with lightning speed.
The immense shockwaves generated by the collision of these two forces caused the Ming Yu Barrier to tremble violently. However, the Ming Yu Barrier ultimately held firm and recovered.
Upon witnessing this, everyone was once again stunned. If not for the reinforcement from the Ming Chang Envoy, the terrifying shockwave would have surely breached the Ming Yu Barrier. The power capable of breaking through the Ming Yu Barrier had to be at the peak of the Boundary Fusion Realm.
This meant that the offensive maneuvers of Li Xuan and Ming He Yue had reached the strength of the peak Boundary Fusion Realm!
Ming He Yue was one thing, as he had used a forbidden technique. But Li Xuan's sword strike also possessed such terrifying explosive power!
"Such immense power! I wonder who will win this exchange."
"That Li Xuan actually managed to unleash such power with his mid-stage Realm Creation Realm strength. Is such an existence truly from a small family?"
"Truly terrifying! Even from outside this Ming Yu Barrier, I can still feel the power of this shockwave. I probably wouldn't be able to withstand even the residual effects."
"This person's future achievements will likely be extraordinary. I heard this person is from a collateral family of the Second Elder's lineage. If he survives, the Li family might rise under his leadership."
"..."
Countless exclamations arose. The strength displayed by Li Xuan had completely conquered them. Even the Boundary Fusion Realm powerhouses ranked high on the Underworld Ranking were now in deep thought, seemingly contemplating how much strength they would need to defeat Li Xuan in a confrontation.
Sand swirled in the air, obscuring the figures of Li Xuan and Ming He Yue since the convergence of the two forces. Despite the constant discussions, everyone's gaze was fixed on the Ming Yu Barrier, clearly curious as to who among the two would survive this blow.
As the flying sand gradually dispersed, no one stood in the sky. The gazes of everyone almost simultaneously turned towards the ground below.
There, both Li Xuan and Ming He Yue were kneeling on the ground. Their robes were torn and tattered.
However, their gazes were fixed on each other. Their faces were ashen pale to the extreme, as if a gust of wind could blow them over.
*Pfft!*
After about ten breaths of staring at each other, Ming He Yue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. Then, his body visibly shrunk, as if he were a dying old man, his complexion extremely sallow.
"Cough, cough..." Just as Ming He Yue spat out blood, Li Xuan also coughed violently. However, after a bout of coughing, Li Xuan's aura began to stabilize. Li Xuan then directly sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing and heal himself under everyone's watchful eyes.
"That Li Xuan, he's actually not dead!"
"My heavens! Ming He Yue used the Blood Devour forbidden technique, and still couldn't kill Li Xuan!"
"Who taught this Li Xuan? The power of that sword strike, perhaps even the five great clans couldn't unleash it."
"..."
Seeing Li Xuan and Ming He Yue appear, their subsequent states greatly surprised everyone. Although Li Xuan appeared to be severely injured, he was much better off compared to Ming He Yue.
Furthermore, Ming He Yue had now fallen to the ground, clearly lacking the strength to continue fighting. In contrast, Li Xuan's face, as he regulated his breathing and healed, had begun to regain some color.
"Ming Chang Envoy, the outcome of this battle..." As everyone was discussing, a participant with high-level Boundary Fusion Realm strength bowed towards the Ming Chang Envoy and asked.
Hearing this, everyone's gaze also turned towards the Ming Chang Envoy.
The Ming Chang Envoy looked at Li Xuan, who was regulating his breathing and healing on the ground, with a complex expression before slowly saying, "In this battle, Ming He Yue has lost. Moreover, Ming He Yue's dantian is destroyed, and he will live the rest of his life as a cripple."
Upon hearing this, shock once again flashed in everyone's eyes. Ming He Yue's dantian was destroyed. Such a blow was no different from death.
*Hoo.*
Li Xuan, who was regulating his breathing and healing on the ground, slowly opened his eyes after three minutes. As he exhaled a breath of turbid air, Li Xuan's gaze shifted to Ming He Yue on the ground.
"Your dantian is destroyed, and you have no possibility of further cultivation. There's no need to kill you." As Li Xuan finished speaking, he stood up and slowly walked towards the Ming Chang Envoy and the others.
Seeing this, the Ming Chang Envoy sighed slightly and waved his hand, and the Ming Yu Barrier instantly disappeared.
Li Xuan bowed to the Ming Chang Envoy with clasped fists, then turned and walked back to his original position. High in the sky, the Underworld Ranking scroll moved again.
'Li Xuan, seventy-sixth, mid-stage Realm Creation Realm.'
...
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Xuan, who was regulating his breathing and healing, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Besides revering Li Xuan's strength, they also admired him for successively killing and defeating the heir and direct descendant of the Great Elder's lineage as a disciple from a small family.
Li Xuan would likely face fierce retaliation from the Great Elder's lineage from now on. The chances of him surviving were slim.
As for the remaining participants from the Great Elder's lineage, they all looked at Li Xuan in silence. Li Xuan's combat power had now been revealed, and they were naturally unable to defeat him with their current strength.
Although Li Xuan was seriously injured, there were still so many people present. The Second Elder's lineage also had powerful individuals. Of course, if the Ming Chang Envoy were not present, they would not have minded directly killing Li Xuan.
Even the high-level Boundary Fusion Realm powerhouses of the Great Elder's lineage exchanged glances and shook their heads in silence. With the Ming Chang Envoy present, it would be extremely difficult for them to kill Li Xuan on the spot.
After all, the rules in the depths of the Underworld space were based on challenges. Existences at their Boundary Fusion Realm level could not imitate Ming He Yue's method of lowering their ranking to challenge Li Xuan. Doing so would only make them a laughingstock to other families.
Moreover, with the presence of the Second Elder's lineage's Boundary Fusion Realm experts, they would definitely protect Li Xuan's safety. In the event of a conflict between the two great lineages, the Ming Chang Envoy would naturally not stand idly by.
While Li Xuan was healing, the other participants were also engaging in challenges.
After half an hour passed, Li Xuan's aura gradually became fuller. As he exhaled a breath of turbid air, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
