Chapter 2274 - 2266: Considering a Possibility

Huang Xiaolong heard this, and with a wicked smile, said, "I hope you get the chance."

A while later, Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, and others left through the air.

Looking at the ruins of Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, Huang Xiaolong’s face turned somber once again.

Tomorrow!

Huang Xiaolong watched the departing figure of Huang Zhouping, his eyes filled with bloodlust. After Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, and others had completely gone far and disappeared, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged high in the sky of Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, closed his eyes, and waited for tomorrow to come.

As for the already ruined Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, Huang Xiaolong didn’t bother to clean it up. Everything would be dealt with after the Holy Platform battle tomorrow.

After all, by then, there would be people to help rebuild Ten Thousand Dragon Peak for him!

The sky gradually darkened.

The night was enchanting, with the silver moon hanging high.

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the sky, like a statue.

With the Holy Alliance’s purposeful promotion, news of Huang Xiaolong and Huang Zhouping’s duel tomorrow at the Holy Platform quickly spread throughout the Holy Sect Headquarters, setting a million disciples abuzz.

Some disciples, fearing they would be late and miss the Holy Platform battle, even set off in the middle of the night, hurrying to the Holy Platform with all their might.

Some disciples even used the Swift Divine Talismans they usually couldn’t bear to use, speeding themselves up.

The initiation of a Holy Platform battle by the Saint Heir was practically a first for the Holy Sect, so all the disciples at the Holy Sect Headquarters didn’t want to miss this once-in-many-eras opportunity.

The night gradually faded away.

The sky began to brighten.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on the world, Huang Xiaolong, sitting cross-legged high above Ten Thousand Dragon Peak, opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.

However, just as Huang Xiaolong was about to depart for the Holy Platform through the air, in the distance, a large spaceship sailed through the sky. Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi walked out and respectfully said, "Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, Saint Heir, let me take you there!"

Huang Xiaolong didn’t refuse either and nodded in agreement.

After picking up Huang Xiaolong, the spaceship departed through the air.

"Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, Saint Heir, have you really decided to go to the Holy Platform?" Yang Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and said.

Huang Xiaolong half-jokingly said, "Is there another option?"

Yang Jingzhi opened his mouth, wanting to persuade further, but Huang Xiaolong interrupted, "Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi, I know you mean well by advising me, but my mind is made up, so you don’t need to persuade me any longer. I also know that, like others, you don’t see much hope for me in this battle, and you’ve come today to see me off one last time!"

Having said this, Huang Xiaolong laughed, "But don’t worry, this won’t be the last time. After I kill Huang Zhouping, I’ll drink with you."

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s still relaxed and joking demeanor, Yang Jingzhi secretly shook his head.

"Alright, as long as you don’t find my wine awful then." Yang Jingzhi couldn’t think of comforting words and said.

Huang Xiaolong laughed, "You, as the Main Hall Master of the Holy Sect, surely your wine can’t be worse than mine, just newly inducted into the sect, right?"

They exchanged smiles.

"If Your Highness Huang Xiaolong, Saint Heir, does indeed win, I’ll bring out my Wind and Fire Elemental Power Wine, which has been sealed for a billion years, and we’ll have a good drink together!" Inspired by Huang Xiaolong, Yang Jingzhi replied heartily.

Huang Xiaolong laughed, "With such words, I must win no matter what!"

The two chatted and laughed cheerfully.

It was impossible to tell that Huang Xiaolong was about to face a life-and-death battle at the Holy Platform.

Two hours later, the spaceship stopped.

In front of them, atop the peak of a gigantic mountain, sat a vast, golden-bronze platform, with its four sides inscribed with Holy Talismans, and an aura of Holy Might continually spreading from it.

This was the Holy Platform!

The only Holy Platform of Zhuoyuan Saint Sect.

Beams of Holy Light continuously rose slowly from the Holy Platform.

In the very center of the Holy Platform’s flat surface, there was a large ancient "battle" character. Looking at this character, the disciples felt a fervent fighting spirit and boiling blood coursing through them.

As Huang Xiaolong and Yang Jingzhi stepped down from the spaceship, the dense crowd of disciples surrounding the Holy Platform burst into a strong commotion.

"Is he our Holy Sect’s new Saint Heir, Huang Xiaolong?! I didn’t expect Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi to personally escort him over!"

"What new Saint Heir of the Holy Sect? After today, he will merely be a corpse! I think that Main Hall Master Yang Jingzhi felt sorry for him, so he came to see him off one last time!"

Some sarcastic remarks came from the distant crowd.

These sarcastic voices mostly came from disciples within the Holy Alliance.

Huang Xiaolong’s face remained indifferent as he soared through the air and landed at the center of the Holy Platform, standing directly on the "battle" character, quietly waiting for Huang Zhouping and others to arrive.

Huang Xiaolong had just stepped onto the Holy Platform when he saw a large group of people flying in from afar. Leading them were Jiang Tian, Huang Zhouping, Wu Shi, Zheng Yongjia, and others.

Huang Xiaolong’s gaze fell upon Zhang Wenyue behind Huang Zhouping, and seeing her unharmed, he felt a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wenyue also saw Huang Xiaolong from afar, tears welled in her beautiful eyes as she cried out, "Young Master!" Thinking of the tragic deaths of her father and brother, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Huang Zhouping noticed Zhang Wenyue’s emotional and delicate appearance and laughed, "Just wait and see how I utterly crush your Young Master on the Holy Platform!"

Soon, the people of the Holy Alliance arrived, and Huang Zhouping flew up, landing on the Holy Platform, standing in front of Huang Xiaolong.

A while later, Li Wen, Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, and the thirteen other elders all arrived as well.

A duel on the Holy Platform involving the Saints was no small matter. As elders, they naturally had to be present to preside over it.

Under the direction of Li Wen and the others, as per the duel agreement, Yang Jingzhi stepped forward and sealed most of Huang Zhouping’s power, maintaining him at the Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage.

Seeing Huang Zhouping sealed to the Dominator Ninth Stage Middle Stage, Huang Xiaolong’s smile turned mischievous.

After sealing most of Huang Zhouping’s power, Yang Jingzhi stepped down from the Holy Platform, consulted with elders like Li Wen, and then activated the Holy Platform Defense Array.

As long as the Holy Platform Defense Array was activated, even if Half-Saint Peak strong individuals were fighting inside, their power wouldn’t leak out in the slightest, and once the defense array was activated, outsiders could no longer interfere with the battle inside.

"Huang Xiaolong, tell me, how do you wish to die?" With the activation of the Holy Platform Defense Array, Huang Zhouping glared at Huang Xiaolong with a sinister look: "Should I cripple you first, then slowly skin and debone you, or skin and debone you first, then cripple you, and finally kill you!"

At that moment, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s body moved, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Huang Zhouping, punching fiercely.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong take the initiative to attack, Huang Zhouping sneered contemptuously, "Reckless fool!" With that, he threw a punch in return: "Great Sun Divine Fist!"

Although the Great Sun Divine Fist is not a Holy Path Divine Skill, it is a Half-Saint Divine Skill, created by Elder Xu Jun.

Watching Huang Zhouping use the Great Sun Divine Fist he created right from the start, Xu Jun nodded in satisfaction.

As Huang Zhouping’s punch was thrown, it was like a sun blooming, emitting dazzling radiance from his fist, with the momentum of piercing the heavens and earth.

Beside Jiang Tian, the Saint Heir Zheng Yongjia laughed, "Huang Zhouping Junior Brother might finish that kid with just one punch, won’t he?"

The people of the Holy Alliance laughed.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong’s punch broke through that dazzling light, striking Huang Zhouping’s fist.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Huang Zhouping screamed in agony as his entire right fist was smashed by Huang Xiaolong, sending him flying hard onto the light shield of the Holy Platform Defense Array.

"What?!"

The crowd was dumbfounded.

Even Yang Jingzhi was stunned.

"No, something’s wrong!" Elder Xu Jun suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huang Xiaolong has actually broken through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage!"

Jiang Tian and the others were taken aback, shocked and unexpected, in less than a year, Huang Xiaolong had unexpectedly broken through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage!

"This kid must have had an earth-shattering encounter outside, otherwise it would be impossible to break through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage so quickly!" Saint Heir Wu Shi marveled in suspicion.

"Even if he broke through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage, it doesn’t matter." Jiang Tian sneered, "Huang Zhouping Junior Brother was just careless earlier; with Huang Zhouping Junior Brother’s talent, he’ll still easily take care of this kid later!"

The Saint Heirs of the Holy Alliance nodded in agreement, regardless of whether it was the Enlightenment Saint Realm, or the Saint Vein, or the Holy Body rankings, Huang Zhouping was much higher than Huang Xiaolong. Even if Huang Xiaolong had broken through to the Sovereign Ninth Stage Late Stage, he was definitely not Huang Zhouping’s opponent.

At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Huang Zhouping stood up from the ground, his right fist glowing and quickly recovered. He wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with blazing murderous intent: "You scum dare to hurt me, dare to injure me!"

Huang Zhouping furiously activated the Elephant Power Saint Realm, while a layer of strange magma-like substance appeared on his body surface, formed by his Holy Vein Power as a defense.

Being injured by a waste like Huang Xiaolong was an immense humiliation for him, so this time, he held back no more of his power.

"Die!"

"Holy Path, Dragon Elephant Divine Power!"

Huang Zhouping roared, both fists slammed out, surging fist power transformed into numerous ancient holy beast Dragon Elephants, each Dragon Elephant capable of tearing the heaven and earth.

As Huang Zhouping’s fists were about to strike Huang Xiaolong, suddenly a surge of Dragon Power gushed crazily from Huang Xiaolong’s body, fully activating the Enlightenment Saint Realm and the Saint Vein he was tested with.

Air currents roiled around Huang Xiaolong, forming into numerous Divine Dragons, while layers of golden Dragon Scales emerged on his body surface.

The originally calm observing elders Li Wen, Sun Shangyi, Bai Xuyang, and others were first startled, then greatly shocked.

"This, this is definitely not Mystic Dragon Saint Realm! Definitely not Mad Dragon Saint Vein or True Dragon Sacred Body!" Sun Shangyi exclaimed, tightly staring at Huang Xiaolong.

Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, Li Yuhui, and Gong Chen were equally surprised. Wasn’t it said that during the second test, Huang Xiaolong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm was the Mystic Dragon Saint Realm ranked four thousand three hundred eighty-second? But the Mystic Dragon Saint Realm could never possess such Dragon Power! The Mad Dragon Saint Vein, True Dragon Sacred Body could never emit such an aura!

The might displayed by Huang Xiaolong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm, Saint Vein, and Holy Body before them, clearly completely suppressed Huang Zhouping’s!

Could it be that there was an error during the second test?

However, while Xu Jun, Guo Qirong, and others were shocked and surprised, they weren’t immediately considering further possibilities. But Li Wen, being the head among the elders, suddenly thought of a possibility, a shocking possibility for the Holy World! Could it be?! As he considered this possibility, Li Wen couldn’t help but start trembling all over, so excited he was at a loss for words.
