Chapter 1383: Chapter 257: Sore Losers

"Another Dragon City Order!"

Shen Changqing held the Dragon City Order in his hand, counting carefully. Up until now, he had already acquired over ten pieces.

While waiting for the next opponent, his mind drifted to previous matters.

Before truly witnessing the sect-defining ultimate techniques, Shen Changqing had quite a bit of confusion regarding what they were.

After seeing them, he roughly understood the situation of these ultimate techniques.

Frankly speaking.

The sect-defining ultimate techniques are similar to the innate divine abilities of the myriad clans, both deriving from the power of intercepted rules.

The only difference is.

The ingrained innate divine abilities of the myriad clans.

The sect-defining ultimate techniques of the Central Profound Realm require cultivation to unleash their power.

The strengths and weaknesses between the two are hard to define.

But if we talk about ease of mastery, the innate divine abilities of the myriad clans have a lower threshold.

Innate divine abilities.

Are innate.

As long as the living being of the clan reaches a certain level, they can naturally master it.

But the sect-defining ultimate techniques are different.

Interception transformed rules into Dharma, mastery depends on individual talent.

"Humans have seals, hence cannot possess innate divine abilities, leading strong individuals to innovate by transforming similar methods into Dharma for Human cultivation.

This approach is indeed ingenious.

Thus, whatever sect-defining ultimate techniques an entity holds, as long as I successfully cultivate them, I can comprehend the corresponding laws, even the rules..."

Shen Changqing’s eyes brightened.

Sect-defining ultimate techniques seem tailor-made for him.

If he could possess them all, his power would surely grow significantly.

Although it is impossible to instantly coagulate a Cave Heaven Core, advancing further from the foundation seems within reach.

At this moment.

The space trembled.

A person appeared before him.

"Liang Shuo from the Star Palace!"

The newcomer directly announced his title.

Star Palace!

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted.

He didn’t expect to encounter a proud heaven from the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces so soon.

Yet, he didn’t dwell on it, as many proud heavens from the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces entered the Dragon Platform; a meeting isn’t peculiar.

Thinking this, Shen Changqing announced his title.

"Shen Zhen from the Demon Sect!"

Demon Sect?

Like everyone who hears the words Demon Sect, Liang Shuo was puzzled but quickly disregarded it as he instantly attacked upon Shen Changqing’s word fall.

As soon as he struck.

A powerful aura erupted.

As a proud heaven of the Twelve Palaces, Liang Shuo’s displayed power, though without the sect-defining ultimate technique of Heavenly Hatred quite so mighty, was equally impressive.

Shen Changqing’s face remained unchanged, left hand behind his back, right hand extending a finger, Finger Gang breaking through space, shattering the mighty divine power.

Moreover.

Even after destroying the divine power, Finger Gang’s momentum continued.

In an instant.

Intense alert surged in Liang Shuo’s heart.

"Not good!"

Without hesitation, he instantly exerted all he could to resist, extinguishing Finger Gang, he leaped to Yukong, as the once-luminescent Wilderness Heaven and Earth sky turned starry, showcasing a splendid sight.

Star Palace’s sect-defining ultimate technique!

"Indeed, each entity’s sect-defining ultimate technique is precisely as I imagined!"

Witnessing the sight before him, Shen Changqing understood.

Nevertheless, his expression remained unaltered.

The grand power of Star Palace’s sect-defining ultimate technique seems somewhat inferior to Transference Divine Palace’s Godslayer Saber Art in his senses.

As seen.

Even among sect-defining ultimate techniques, there are distinctions in strength.

As the starry sky transformed into the Stars and Myriad Phenomena, a large hand emerged, grabbing and crushing all the stars in Liang Shuo’s shocked gaze.

Bang—

The stars extinguished completely.

Backlash of the sect-defining ultimate technique caused Liang Shuo’s flesh to tremble, his divine soul shaken.

"Puh!"

Blood gushed from his mouth.

But the physical injury paled compared to the mental blow received.

Liang Shuo never anticipated he would be defeated by an unnamed person, and in such a manner.

——

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted from one of the golden thrones, causing a change in wind and clouds.

On the void seating, everyone’s face showed shock in the direction of the aura’s explosion, catching the livid face of the Star Palace’s Palace Master.

Shen Changqing’s fight with Liang Shuo unfolded before their eyes.

Thus.

These people understood why the Star Palace’s master was so enraged.

Yet among those present, not a shred of sympathy was seen, only schadenfreude.

The Five Sects and Twelve Palaces have dominated the world for long, every Hidden Dragon Tournament places them ahead, suppressing proud heavens of other factions.

Now, finally emerges one capable of subduing the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces’ forces.

And observing his methods, defeating Liang Shuo seemed effortless.

Such strength.

Not to mention the Twelve Palaces, even facing the proud heaven of the Five Sects would not be intimidating at all.

"This will be a good show!"

Many exchanged glances and shared a knowing smile.

They didn’t care whether Shen Changqing could continue winning, nor whether he would face retaliation from the Star Palace after the Tournament.

What they cared about was simply seeing the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces being humiliated, nothing more.

Everything else, there wasn’t much worth caring about.

Though that was what they thought, no one dared to say it aloud.

After all.

The strength of the Star Palace was still formidable.

If someone truly mocked openly, few of the forces present could withstand the anger of the Star Palace.

On the other side.

Ji Ying watched the scene unfolding on the Dragon Platform, silently mourning for all the proud heaven while secretly feeling exhilarated.

Nothing was more satisfying than seeing those who were stronger than him being suppressed one by one.

He knew well in his heart.

With Shen Changqing’s strength, even if all the proud heaven present were combined, they wouldn’t be a match for a single grasp from him.

The so-called proud heaven of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces, in front of him, was like a child who just learned to walk, easily handled without effort.

However.

Though Ji Ying felt delighted, he didn’t show it openly.

...

"Myriad Phenomena Sect Master, please calm your anger!"

When the Palace Master of Star Palace was furious, one of the dominators of the Twelve Palaces advised.

Upon hearing that.

Myriad Phenomena barely suppressed the anger in his heart, but looking at Shen Changqing, his gaze was still filled with killing intent.

"This person’s strength is too powerful, if we don’t suppress him, our Five Sects and Twelve Palaces will lose face completely!"

Thinking of the proud heaven carefully nurtured by the Star Palace being defeated so easily, he felt utterly humiliated.

Although the rules of the Dragon Platform do not mean immediate elimination after one defeat, as long as the Dragon City Order is not completely lost, they can continue to fight.

But the problem is.

Every loss of a Dragon City Order has the potential to lower the Star Palace’s ranking.

Additionally.

With Liang Shuo being so easily defeated by the opponent, if mishandled, there is a possibility of birthing a heart demon.

If a heart demon truly forms, the person is as good as ruined, completely losing the chance to prove the path to Divine King in the future.

Hence.

One failed battle.

Could potentially lower the Star Palace’s ranking, lose sect resources, and even directly lose a proud heaven.

Such loss, how could Myriad Phenomena remain calm?

If it were not for the fact that this is the Tournament, he would have taken action long ago to suppress that person.

Li Gu said in a deep voice: "The proud heaven from our forces, each one is outstanding in the same realm, no matter how powerful his strength is, it is absolutely impossible to defeat them so easily.

In my opinion, he must have cultivated some mysterious ultimate study, what seems casual is actually using full force.

However, any ultimate study involves significant consumption, I believe it won’t be long before he shows weakness!"

Hearing Li Gu’s analysis, the others nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

Any proud heaven who ranks among the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces is an outstanding existence in the same realm, even if someone can defeat them, it wouldn’t be to this extent.

To achieve this level, unless the limits are broken, advancing to Divine King level.

But quite clearly.

According to the Dragon Platform’s rules, Divine King Realm cannot enter.

Thus, the opponent’s strength at most is only at half-step Divine King.

No matter how strong someone with such strength might be, there must be a limit, as long as the fight continues, consumption will eventually be unsustainable.

Subsequently.

Li Gu said: "In the next battle, let someone from our Biyun Palace take action, if they fall, then let others have a turn, we must deal heavy damage to him or kill, or at least drain him severely, preventing him from contending for Dragon City Order."

Only by eliminating the opponent first can this threat be resolved completely.

The Tournament lasts for seven days, and today is only the first day.

As long as the opponent is unable to participate further, in the subsequent six days, the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces can obtain enough Dragon City Orders.

At that point.

Even if the opponent wishes to catch up, it would be nearly impossible.

——

In the Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

Liang Shuo, like Wen Tianchou, after using trump cards that were easily broken by the opponent, straightforwardly chose to concede.

At the same time, Shen Changqing happily acquired another Dragon City Order.

In the next instant.

The space trembled, and a young man appeared before him.

"So soon?"

Shen Changqing was slightly startled.

From previous battles, after each victory, there was roughly a quarter of an hour to rest, but this time, only a few breaths had passed.

As he speculated inwardly, the newcomer stated his name.

"Mu Xingchen of Biyun Palace!"

"Shen Zhen of Demon Sect."

Shen Changqing squinted slightly and also stated his own name.

Facing members of the Twelve Palaces twice in succession, coupled with the shortened time between opponent changes, he roughly understood something.

To put it bluntly.

The Five Sects and Twelve Palaces couldn’t afford to lose and intended to use a battle of attrition to eliminate him.

If it were ordinary people, they might truly fall for the opponent’s tricks.

But unfortunately, in this regard, the people of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces were overly optimistic.
