Chapter 455 - Gathering of the Heavenly Pride

Just as Lin Xuan was analyzing Prince Tianhuo’s combat power, the ancient transmission array beside him had already been activated.

Prince Tianhuo stepped forward boldly, following behind Red Fire Venerable, and stepped onto the transmission array.

Behind him were other disciples of the Skyfire Sect.

Soon, members from the Illusion Moon Sect, Divine Saber Sect, and other factions also stepped onto the ancient transmission array.

The light shone brightly, and Lin Xuan felt a strong force of spatial power enhancing him.

Then, countless black lines appeared before his eyes, and when he regained consciousness, he had already arrived in an unfamiliar place.

Around him were ancient buildings, the walls and stone pillars marked with sword and blade scars, filled with a sense of historical vicissitudes.

This was an ancient city, an immensely vast ancient city.

Lin Xuan had just stepped off the transmission array when he felt the Great Dragon Sword Intent within his body resonating violently.

“This is…

True Dragon Qi!” Lin Xuan was shocked; below this ancient city was an astonishing presence of True Dragon Qi!

According to what Lord of Wine had said, the Great Dragon Sword Intent was derived from the Great Dragon Sword, which was transformed from a True Dragon merging with the origin of heaven and earth.

One could say it originated from the same source as True Dragon Qi.

That’s why when he stepped into the Azure Dragon Ancient City, the Great Dragon Sword Intent reacted in such a manner.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan controlled the trembling Great Dragon Sword Intent inside him.

He knew he was getting closer and closer to the Great Dragon Sword.

At this moment, Lin Xuan looked back and saw that the expressions of the surrounding martial artists were all different.

Prince Tianhuo’s body was animated with flames, his eyes emitting a brilliant light.

This was the place where he would recreate his splendor.

Whereas Yue Yan, Han Fei, and others had solemn expressions, most other martial artists were curiously observing the ancient architecture around them.

Lin Xuan followed the crowd, heading towards the ancient battlefield.

In the center of the Azure Dragon Ancient City was an extremely wide area.

There were four martial platforms in the center, each spanning a kilometer and made entirely of black gold, similar in material to the ancient transmission array.

Near the ancient martial platforms, many people had already gathered, presumably competitors from other forces in the Tian Nan Domain.

Among them, three individuals were particularly conspicuous.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered as he looked into the distance, immediately noticing a woman.

Dressed in plain, unadorned green clothes, she carried an ancient-looking treasure sword on her back, and her eyes were as sharp as a divine sword.

She exuded an extremely fierce aura, as if she were a divine sword ready to unsheathe at any moment.

“What terrifying Sword Intent!”

Lin Xuan was shocked; as a swordsman, he immediately took notice of this green-clothed woman.

He could clearly sense the terrifying Sword Intent inside this green-clothed woman.

With his current level of Great Dragon Sword Intent, he probably could not defeat her.

Without a doubt, this green-clothed woman was one of the Four Heavenly Pride, the Sword Dao Heavenly Girl, Zhou Jianying.

Lin Xuan noted that Zhou Jianying’s Sword Intent was very refined; even if it had not reached Great Success, it was probably not far off.

He roughly estimated that the green-clothed woman’s Sword Intent was at least eighty percent.

Then, he turned his gaze to another individual on the left.

This person was clad in a dark, long robe, cloaking his entire body in shadows, with only half of his pale face visible.

He emitted a strange and sinister aura, his presence not the least bit weaker than that of the green-clothed woman.

Moreover, more strangely, behind him, there was a giant oval package wrapped entirely in white bandages.

This bizarre form and terrifying aura deterred people from getting close.

This was the Iron Puppet King, capable of controlling puppets.

It was said that he possessed a puppet with the strength of the Spirit Communication Realm, making him immensely powerful.

The two exhibited strong auras, overpowering many geniuses.

However, an even more domineering aura permeated this piece of heaven and earth.

That aura was wildly domineering and unrivaled, seemingly indifferent to everything.

A blond man stood at the center, looking down on everyone around him, like a Golden War God.

His aura even surpassed that of Prince Tianhuo and others.

Ba Wuji, leader of the Four Great Supreme Talents, was also the champion of the last Azure Dragon Society!

He not only cultivated the Heaven and Earth Domineering Technique of Earth Rank but also possessed the Overlord Bloodline, unparalleled combat power, and had pushed his domineering energy to its limits.

The Four Great Supreme Talents corresponded from afar, exuding terrifying momentum that collided in the void.

Instantly, an invisible force enveloped all directions, forming a terrifying zone of pressure.

Everyone trembled, their faces pale as they staggered backward, completely unable to endure the aura of these Supreme Geniuses.

Lin Xuan was surprised, as he circulated the Great Dragon Sword Intent within his body to counteract this violent pressure.

At the same time, he looked around.

Most people had retreated, with only a very few Martial Artists resisting.

Behind Yue Yan, a bright moon coalesced, radiating endless brilliance that propped open the terrifying pressure.

Han Fei’s Sword Intent soared to the sky, annihilating everything.

Additionally, three young talents stood proudly against it.

A silver-haired girl, surrounded by swirling snowflakes, permeated with bone-chilling cold, held the Ice Cold Staff as if she were a Snow Woman of a frozen country.

There was also a gaunt young man holding a Thunder Fork, his body radiating terrifying thunder, like the descent of the Thunder God.

The last one, clad in white, held a folding fan and had a bamboo flute tucked at his waist, standing gracefully like a handsome scholar caught in the breeze.

These five were the Five Great Heroes, second only to the Four Great Supreme Talents.

Only these five could withstand the pressure of the Four Heavenly Prides.

However, unknown to the others, there was also someone who could resist.

In the midst of this pressure, Lin Xuan appeared composed, but he quickly withdrew.

The time to contend with the Four Great Supreme Talents had not yet come; he needed to accumulate strength, absorbing enough Black Dragon Flame to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Only then could he truly compete with the Four Great Supreme Talents.

The confrontation between the Four Great Supreme Talents was brief and soon dispersed.

They would not fight here; everything was to wait for the Azure Dragon Society.

Next was the verification of identity information, as well as the collection of items needed for the Azure Dragon Society and other miscellaneous tasks.

Everything proceeded methodically and swiftly.

Lin Xuan soon finished verifying his information and also received a set of Bronze Battle Armor.

Not just him, but every competitor received a set of battle clothes.

However, Lin Xuan noticed that these battle clothes were not the same.

For example, his and Dongfang Xiong’s were Bronze Battle Clothes.

While Zhao Kuang and Fan Chao, who had participated in the previous session, had Blue Silver Battle Suits.

Apart from these, there were also Silver and Golden Battle Clothes.

Many Martial Artists were curious and did not understand what the different colors of the battle clothes represented.

However, as soon as they put on the battle clothes, they exclaimed.

Lin Xuan, wearing the Bronze Battle Armor, felt no effect, whereas Zhao Kuang’s Blue Silver Battle Suit underwent a change.

A strand of aura rose from the ground, entered into his battle suit, and immediately his battle suit emitted a faint glow.

Those in Silver Battle Clothes radiated a silver glow, which was more intense than Zhao Kuang and others.

Even more astonishing were the few in Golden Battle Clothes, which emitted a dazzling brilliance, far surpassing the Silver Battle Clothes.

Most wore the Bronze Battle Armor like Lin Xuan, accounting for about two-thirds.

Next were the Silver Battle Clothes, with only a few Martial Artists in Golden Battle Clothes, all of whom were among the Five Great Heroes.

And the Four Great Supreme Talents wore the Five-Colored Exquisite Battle Armor, with streams of True Dragon Qi flowing, resembling fierce and formidable True Dragons.

“Why is this happening?

It’s not fair!” many people complained.
