805: Chapter 235 805: Chapter 235 The ancient ruins this time appeared at the southern edge of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, where heavenly phenomena persisted for quite some time, which is why those entering the ruins were not limited to just the people from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Even so, as the largest dynasty in the region, all the major dynasties had been paying close attention to the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, well aware of its martial battle competition, and even more cognizant that the champion was none other than Cao Zhen.
Some major powers had even used Shadow Expand Stones to ascertain Cao Zhen’s appearance.
Those who did not know what Cao Zhen looked like had heard of his fighting style and knew of his current cultivation realm.
Inside the ruins, it was unknown how many caves there were, or how many maps.
As long as one obtained a map and entered a cave, other caves would project their imprints upon its stone walls.
Although these projections were random, with so many spectators, there was always someone who would catch sight of Cao Zhen and his group’s presence.
Witnessing the battle scenes of Cao Zhen and his companions.
“To possess such strength at the sixth level of the Golden Core, only the legendary Cao Zhen could achieve that!”
“Cao Zhen…the others must be his disciples.”
“Cao Zhen, with such powerful strength, it’s impossible for them from the Hundred Peaks Sect not to enter these ruins.”
“Those two girls, they are Cao Zhen’s Senior Disciple Ling Xi and Second Disciple Yan Yourong.”
“That Yan Yourong, her strength is clearly much stronger than what she revealed at the martial battle competition of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.”
In various caves, the crowd who saw the battle scenes from Cao Zhen’s cave were buzzing with speculation.
“Odd, Cao Zhen’s other two disciples, Xiang Ziyu and Bei Yan, why didn’t they come?
Especially Xiang Ziyu, there was no third place in the martial battle competition of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, but if there were one, it would definitely be Xiang Ziyu.
With such strong combat power, why didn’t he come to the ruins?”
“Don’t forget, the Hundred Peaks Sect is within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, and the current Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is in utter chaos.
I heard news before that the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the people from the Great Lai Dynasty took advantage of the absence of the experts from the Hundred Peaks Sect to launch a sneak attack on them.
Therefore, the Hundred Peaks Sect must have left Xiang Ziyu and Bei Yan behind in preparation for such events.”
“Thank goodness those two didn’t accompany Cao Zhen into the ruins, otherwise, who could have withstood them!”
Inside the cave, Cao Zhen’s attack was directed not only at Li Zhenlong alone but also fell upon the other three simultaneously.
After all, the cave was only so big, and he released ten Divine Skills all at once.
The intense heat converged and overlapped, heading towards the other three.
Jin Quanguo, Li Yingli, and Huang Xihui couldn’t even afford to be distracted to fend off the flames falling from above.
In the split second that the three were divided, an onslaught from Ling Xi’s group also descended.
Yan Yourong still hacked down with a single stroke; even with minor injuries, her cut was still filled with an unstoppable momentum, giving the impression that her slash could divide sun and moon, bringing about the annihilation of all creation with its fall.
The long sword, sweeping from behind, instantly parted the fierce flames cast by Cao Zhen, and the tyrannical Sword Energy directly targeted Li Yingli.
Li Yingli, sensing the overwhelming Sword Energy approaching, her fair and delicate face instantly showed a look of horror.
This slash…
This slash even gave her the sensation that even the tallest and most magnificent Mount Tenna of Tianli Country would be split in two by it in an instant.
This power, how could it possibly belong to someone at the Golden Core Stage!
Moreover, this person was clearly injured, so how could she still have such formidable strength!
Although Li Yingli released Sword Qi in response, many were dissipated by the fiery onslaught, and the remaining Sword Qi was utterly incapable of stopping the descent of that slash.
The long sword cleaved through, landing heavily on her chest.
On the other side, behind Linghu Gudu, each Golden Core with its distinctive phenomena shot out dazzling light, momentarily sweeping away everything in its path, with even the sea converging into the shadow of a vast shark beast that could fill the entire cave!
A tyrannical, overpowering, and bloodthirsty aura spread out.
Suddenly, even the Void outside the cave trembled, the powerful aura rolling out like a ceaseless, surging river attacking Jin Quanguo.
Jin Quanguo swung his Giant Hammer with no holds barred, facing the oncoming vortex head-on, yet in the next moment, the boundless sea formed a tremendous whirlpool that engulfed him.
Meanwhile, Ling Xi’s Talismans also converged, transforming into countless flying knives that shot towards the opponents.
In an instant, just a brief moment, the attacks from Li Zhenlong’s group were all shattered.
Among them, Li Yingli was cleaved in two by a single slash.
And the attacks from Cao Zhen, Ling Xi, and Linghu Gudu continued to fall inexhaustibly.
Li Zhenlong was so frightened that he felt his guts were about to split.
Who were these people?
Why, being of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection themselves, did these people across from them seem so much stronger?
They were the foremost beings of Tianli Country, yet not a single one was able to withstand the others in combat!
He was first enveloped by endless flames, then barraged by waves that seemed capable of piercing through the earth, and following that, sharp knives aiming to skewer the ground.
With a series of strikes raining down, his body uncontrollably retreated backward in the air.
