You!
His gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian, and Emperor Canglan's expression immediately darkened.
This was because the opponent had narrowly dodged the fourth dagger, which had only managed to slice through his clothes.
This outcome caused Emperor Canglan's face to completely darken.
He had already ordered the Black Ink Ice Wave Dragon to collect the corpse, and now that Ye Cangtian was not killed, it was a blatant slap in the face.
The next moment, Emperor Canglan spoke with a somber tone, "Boy, you are not a Heavenly Tier initial stage expert. Reveal your true aura!"
Emperor Canglan was extremely certain that if Ye Cangtian were truly a Heavenly Tier initial stage expert, he would not have been able to block that attack, nor would he have been able to evade his assault even with his renowned speed.
Yet, Ye Cangtian had managed it. The only explanation was that Ye Cangtian had concealed his cultivation.
"You are indeed knowledgeable!"
As the voice echoed, Ye Cangtian's face remained serene. He spoke calmly, and his aura was unleashed without reservation.
Facing such a powerful foe, concealing his aura was futile. He had to go all out.
"He's actually at the Heavenly Tier late stage, just a sliver away from Heavenly Tier peak!"
"Hahaha, my guess was indeed correct!"
Emperor Canglan laughed triumphantly as he looked at Ye Cangtian, saying, "You are likely the strongest among that group. If I take you down, I believe they will have no more will to fight!"
What? Ye Cangtian was just a sliver away from reaching Heavenly Tier peak?
What kind of monstrous talent was he? How long had it been since he broke through to Heavenly Tier, and he had already reached such a level?
If he were given enough time, reaching the legendary Heaven-Treading Realm should not be a problem...
As Emperor Canglan's words fell, the three-story grand hall instantly erupted.
It turned out Ye Cangtian's concealment was truly deep. Everyone had assumed he was at the Heavenly Tier initial stage, but they never expected such a massive surprise.
Among the crowd, Yan Yun'er stared blankly at Ye Cangtian, her gaze flickering.
Among her peers, she yielded to no one. Even with regards to the former Ye Cangtian, she had merely considered him lucky to have broken through by chance.
But now, seeing him reach such heights, she had no choice but to admit her inferiority.
After all, to break through again after reaching the Heavenly Tier was even more difficult than breaking through from quasi-Heavenly Tier to Heavenly Tier.
And after reaching the Heavenly Tier, the efficacy of elixirs was greatly reduced, and progress relied almost entirely on one's own talent.
Therefore, seeing Ye Cangtian reach such a level, Yan Yun'er truly felt incomparable. If it were her, she would absolutely not have been able to achieve this.
Alas! It's over.
Looking at the current scene, Qiangwei, Yao Bao'er, and the others sighed. Ye Cangtian's hidden trump cards, which he had concealed for so long, would likely all be revealed today.
But there was nothing they could do, as Emperor Canglan was simply too powerful.
Canglan Immortal Palace.
Ye Cangtian calmly looked at the triumphant Emperor Canglan and said with a smile, "Emperor Canglan, you are mistaken. It is true that I am at the Heavenly Tier late stage, but my cultivation has been enhanced through a secret technique!"
Ye Cangtian also knew that everything happening here would be known by people outside, so he deliberately explained it.
After all, it was normal for experts at his level to know some secret techniques.
There was no alternative. He did not want his long-concealed trump cards to be spread throughout the ruins.
Heh.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Canglan smiled faintly. Whether Ye Cangtian had used a secret technique or possessed such true strength was irrelevant in his eyes.
After all, in his view, Ye Cangtian was just one of the four individuals.
"Little vermin, since you have reached this level, let this seat see your true abilities!"
"Otherwise, you will be toyed to death by my Dragon Shadow Flying Daggers..."
As he spoke, Emperor Canglan extended his hand, and eight more flying daggers appeared, floating in his palm and spinning rapidly.
With a wave of his hand, the eight flying daggers transformed back into furious dragons, shooting towards Ye Cangtian.
Roar!
In an instant, a high-pitched dragon's roar echoed, followed by a massive dragon's head charging towards the eight furious dragons.
Although Ye Cangtian was confident he could dodge the eight flying daggers, he would always be on the defensive if he continued this way, leaving his opponent undefeated.
For him at this moment, offense was the most crucial element. Only by attacking could he pose a threat to Emperor Canglan.
Therefore, he had no choice but to use his killing move.
Boom boom boom...
As the furious dragons collided with the blind dragons, explosions erupted.
When the sound of the last explosion faded, the blind dragons had completely dissipated into nothingness.
Ye Cangtian's expression darkened once more. He had underestimated his opponent again.
He had initially believed that the blind dragons could neutralize the opponent's attack and even retain some residual power to continue the assault. However, in reality, he had only partially succeeded.
"Blind Dragon! You have inherited the legacy of that old fellow!"
Emperor Canglan's expression was also far from pleasant. He recognized the Blind Dragon technique; it was one of the Dark Lord's signature moves.
He had not expected Ye Cangtian to not only obtain the Dark Lord's weapon but also inherit his most formidable martial skills.
These martial skills, even in ancient times, were considered top-tier techniques with astonishing lethality, so he had to take this seriously.
As he spoke, Emperor Canglan slowly rose from his dragon throne. A purple-gold light flashed in his hand, revealing a golden longsword enveloped in purple lightning.
"In ten thousand years, you are the first person to force me to draw the Purple Lightning Emperor Sword. For this, even if you die today, your life will have been fulfilled!"
Emperor Canglan's voice resonated, and a soaring fighting spirit flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes.
He looked at his opponent and said calmly, "Let's fight! I don't believe I will die here today!"
"I do not know where your confidence stems from, but today, I will personally sever your confidence and your life!"
Emperor Canglan's gaze was grim as he brandished his longsword.
As the sword moved, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the air. Purple lightning snakes formed amidst repeated collisions.
The next moment, they struck down towards Ye Cangtian!
Seeing the scene in the Immortal Palace, everyone in the three-story grand hall changed their expressions.
They had not expected the formidable Emperor Canglan to give Ye Cangtian no chance, launching a killing blow right from the start.
Instantly, everyone's hearts were once again clutched with anxiety.
Alas!
A chorus of wailing and groaning sounds echoed through the Immortal Palace. Ye Cangtian did not dare to be careless, as a miscalculation in a head-on clash of killing moves could lead to severe injury or even death.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian ceased to conceal himself. Although he sensed the opponent's attack was comparable to his Blind Dragon, after suffering the consequences of misjudgment twice, Ye Cangtian directly unleashed the Flowing Wind Style.
His sole aim was to break through the opponent's assault.
In an instant, the Death God's Scythe collided with the purple lightning snake, erupting in a fierce explosion.
The next moment, the Death God's Scythe successfully severed the lightning snake and continued its trajectory towards Emperor Canglan.
Seeing this, everyone clenched their fists tightly.
To be able to directly confront Emperor Canglan's killing move, not only to win but also to counterattack, indicated that Ye Cangtian possessed the strength to contend with him.
They finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"Not bad, not bad. You can actually counterattack!"
"This level of force is not even enough to tickle me!"
Facing the residual power of the Flowing Wind Style, Emperor Canglan did not dodge or block. He didn't even raise his sword to defend, allowing the Death God's Scythe to land on him.
Boom!
Another deafening boom echoed. Those who thought Emperor Canglan had gone mad widened their eyes in unison.
As the violent spiritual energy dissipated, Emperor Canglan's figure was revealed. He still stood in his original position, his protective spiritual energy having completely blocked Ye Cangtian's attack.
This...
This was too monstrous! Such a powerful attack hadn't even managed to scratch his dragon robe.
This was what everyone thought. As for Ye Cangtian, who faced it all, he remained exceptionally calm.
After all, his move had been deflected by the purple lightning before it landed on Emperor Canglan, so its power was already significantly diminished.
Therefore, it was within reason that Emperor Canglan could achieve this.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian hesitated for a moment before taking out the three great seals from his Qiankun bag and activating them all.
He truly did not wish to use the great seals in front of everyone, as it would only invite more people to covet the Four Great Seals.
But now, he had no choice. The gap between him and Emperor Canglan was simply too vast. Only with the assistance of the great seals could he have a chance to contend with his opponent!
"Is this the power of the great seals? It is indeed formidable!"
"No wonder those four old fellows could withstand the competition from countless heroes..."
Sensing the weakening effect brought about by the three great seals, Emperor Canglan's eyes suddenly brightened, filled with greed.
These Four Great Seals weakened him significantly in all aspects.
However, he was not worried. He believed that with his current strength, killing Ye Cangtian was still not a problem.
