1405: Chapter 1405: The Appearance of the Godly General 1405: Chapter 1405: The Appearance of the Godly General Time passed, another two hours went by inside the World Stabilizing Divine Tower, and there were creatures on every floor of the tower, everyone was waiting for the beginning of the Supreme Fight.
The Invincible Supreme dominated an entire floor alone, and no one dared to approach him.
At this moment, he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed in front of his chest, eyes closed in meditative repose, yet his constantly tapping fingers revealed his impatience.
By now, no more creatures were entering the tower; it seemed everyone who should arrive had already done so, except for Xia Shenwu.
“Is Xia Shenwu deliberately applying pressure?”
Baili Shouyue grumbled impatiently; the Supreme Fight hadn’t started yet, and Xia Shenwu was really asking for a beating!
Qin Jun leaned back casually in the Supreme Nine-Dragon Chair, as if he were taking a light rest, without opening his eyes.
The God and Demons were also growing impatient, but could only bear with it, after all, Xia Shenwu had yet to appear, and they couldn’t just vent their frustration on the God Temple.
The leading power of this Supreme Fight was in the hands of Xia Shenwu.
After about the time it took an incense stick to burn, Xia Shenwu finally revealed himself.
His tall and robust figure wore a plain robe with a blue base, the white fist shadows on his back swayed with the wind, lifelike; his hair, black and white, danced wildly, his expression cold and indifferent, and where his gaze fell, no one dared to meet his eyes.
Silence!
The din inside the World Stabilizing Divine Tower abruptly ceased, and millions of pairs of eyes simultaneously fixed on Xia Shenwu.
The flight speed of Xia Shenwu was not particularly fast as he flew toward the white jade pavilion at the very top.
Dozens of Lords, led by Mo Ruohe, knelt down one after another, waiting for the arrival of Xia Shenwu.
“Is that Xia Shenwu…”
Qin Jun squinted his eyes; this was his first time seeing Xia Shenwu.
Compared to the Invincible Supreme, Xia Shenwu was less arrogant and more divine, and even without revealing a trace of aura, he was enough to deter tens of thousands of saints.
The Invincible Supreme was also staring intently at Xia Shenwu, breathing rapidly.
He couldn’t help but think of the Supreme Fight from a long time ago, when he had challenged Xia Shenwu and lost miserably.
“This time, I must defeat you!”
Madness filled the eyes of the Invincible Supreme.
He had come all the way back from the ancient Saint Emperors’ Path, just to redeem his honor!
Xia Shenwu did not look at him, as if he was just another creature, unworthy of Xia Shenwu’s direct gaze.
“Xia Shenwu…”
Cangqiong Demon Emperor muttered to himself; the Asian conical hat concealed his face, making it impossible to see his expression.
At this moment, his heart was far from calm; just one glance at Xia Shenwu told him he was no match.
Can I even compete?
Elsewhere, Ji Longyuan looked up at the figure of Xia Shenwu, his eyes filled with fervent admiration, and said with emotion, “Us cultivators should aspire to be like this!”
From his birth, Xia Shenwu was the mythology he believed in, and now that he had the chance to witness the true face of the mythology, how could he not be thrilled?
Millions of creatures held their breath and stared as Xia Shenwu flew to the white jade pavilion, his presence so strong it was heart-shaking.
After Xia Shenwu took his seat, Mo Ruohe quickly reminded him, “Great Emperor, we can start now.”
As he spoke, he handed a golden mirror to Xia Shenwu, within which myriad Supreme titles floated.
Xia Shenwu spoke out, “You all understand the rules and significance of the Supreme Fight, right?”
His voice echoed throughout the World Stabilizing Divine Tower, instantly electrifying millions of creatures.
“We’ve understood it for a long time!”
“Great Emperor, please start!”
“As expected of the Human Clan’s Great Emperor, his aura surpasses Cangqiong; it’s hard for our fellows to reach his level!”
“I wonder who will have the chance to challenge Xia Shenwu.”
“Let’s start, I can hardly wait any longer!”
The noisy voices almost seemed to lift off the tower’s dome, and the Gods and Demons of the Great Qin Heavenly Court also began to boil with excitement.
Sun Wukong took out the Chaos Purple-Gold Staff, excitedly saying, “I hope I’m the first one to get picked!”
With one swing of his staff, nobody below the Heavenly Dao Supreme could withstand it.
Xia Shenwu didn’t bother with chitchat, tossed the golden mirror into the air, willed it not to fall, casually pointed his right index finger into it, and a row of digits occupied the entire mirror plane.
Not only him, but the elders of the Supreme God Temple also held similar golden mirrors, responsible for recording the winners.
“One hundred and seven!”
A robust voice sounded, and the tower instantly quieted down.
Following that, a figure leaped from the staircase and landed at the bottom.
This person had a tiger’s back and bear’s waist, full of bushy beard, looking fierce and malevolent, with the cultivation of the mid-stage Saint Realm boldly displayed.
His appearance caused quite a stir, obviously having some renown.
“Seven hundred and forty-nine!”
Xia Shenwu once again selected an unparalleled number, and the one who emerged was Ma Ye, who had previously troubled Huangfu Lanyue.
Ma Ye, with a mischievous smirk on his face, landed, fixing his gaze on his opponent.
At this moment, a translucent light curtain rose from the edge of the tower’s base, rising just under two meters away from the front of the staircase, surging with momentum, and in the blink of an eye rising to the top, separating millions of creatures from the battleground.
“This array, even the Heavenly Dao Supremes can’t break through.”
Baili Shouyue spoke with a solemn face, not expecting Xia Shenwu to be as formidable as he could hardly imagine, indeed a rising force to be reckoned with.
Everyone’s heart tightened, did that not imply Xia Shenwu had surpassed the Heavenly Dao Supreme?
Qin Jun rested his chin on his hand, watching the battle with bored indifference.
If the battle of the unparalleled continued with one-on-one rules, it would probably take a very long time to finish.
“Begin.”
Xia Shenwu’s voice floated down, and upon hearing this, Ma Ye immediately sneered and made his move.
With his cultivation having reached the late-stage Saint Realm, surpassing that of the bushy-bearded man, he moved with extreme speed, throwing a punch in the blink of an eye.
“Not good!”
The bushy-bearded man sensed danger, raising his arms instinctively to block.
With a bang!
He was sent flying by Ma Ye’s punch, hitting the array light curtain, his internal organs shaken, and before he could recover, Ma Ye’s whip kick came sweeping with wild momentum, with the force to shatter mountains and split seas.
The bushy-bearded man fell sharply, narrowly avoiding the kick.
Ma Ye pressed his advantage, moving swiftly behind the bushy-bearded man, throwing punches like heavy artillery, solidly hitting the man’s back.
“Spurt—”
The bushy-bearded man vomited blood and flew away, causing many creatures to shake their heads.
Ma Ye, as an eternal demon of the ages, had a combat power comparable to the complete Saint Realm, and this battle was simply not at the same level, expected to end very soon.
Qin Jun closed his eyes to recuperate, uninterested in Ma Ye.
“This guy is pretty strong.”
Huangfu Liuxin watched Ma Ye showing off, and quipped.
“Hmph, him?
If brother encounters him, you’ll see how I tear him to shreds!” Huangfu Lanyue scoffed, indeed looking down on Ma Ye.
There are many eternal demons throughout the ages, but not all could become Ji Longyuan.
The battle hadn’t even lasted the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the bushy-bearded man was already shouting to admit defeat.
Ma Ye wanted to continue, but regretfully Mo Ruohe stopped him.
This scene did cause the majority of the combatants to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as they too were afraid their enemies would ignore the rules and go on a killing spree.
“One thousand and twelve!”
Xia Shenwu announced the next contestant and as soon as his words fell, Yuan Hong, carrying the Chaos Spiritual Treasure, the Sea-suppressing Westward Staff, jumped down.
The World Stabilizing Divine Tower immediately became abuzz with excitement.
No one expected that at the beginning of the battle of the unparalleled, first was a demonic talent of the ages, and now it was a divine general of the Great Qin Heavenly Court; such grandeur roused people’s blood to surge.
