Chapter 1740: Did Young Hero Yang Acquire the Posuo Buddha Tree?
When Yang Xiaotian drew his sword, two divine avatars simultaneously did the same.
It was also nine sword dragons!
Sword dragons formed by the condensation of ten thousand sword qi.
Twenty-seven sword dragons collided with the Hongmeng Sword Qi.
Boom!
The Nine Dragons Sword Art of the three Summit Mastery Realm experts clashed head-on with the Hongmeng Sword Qi, which was merely at Great Accomplishment Peak Realm.
A violent tremor of space occurred.
However, the Hongmeng Sword Qi was destroyed in the blink of an eye by the twenty-seven sword dragons.
The twenty-seven sword dragons plowed through the Hongmeng Sword Qi with overwhelming force.
Seeing the approaching twenty-seven sword dragons, Qian Hai was horrified. He frantically activated the power of fifty thousand rings of the Holy Wheel and the Eternal Dao Heart; the radiant outburst was incomparable.
The immense power pounded towards Yang Xiaotian.
But no matter how he activated it, the radiance of his Holy Wheel was always suppressed by Yang Xiaotian's Holy Wheel; his Holy Wheel's power was still fragile under the suppression of Yang Xiaotian's Holy Wheel power.
When the intangible mental power of the Eternal Dao Heart burst towards Yang Xiaotian's heart, nine-colored radiance blossomed from Xiaotian's chest.
Qian Hai, seeing the nine-colored radiance on Xiaotian's chest, was startled and was hit by the sword dragon before he could react.
The power of the sword dragon shattered the armor on his chest.
Qian Hai was blasted away, landing below the stage, vomiting blood incessantly.
It could be seen that his chest had been pierced through by the sword dragon.
On his chest, twenty-seven sword holes were imprinted.
The crowd gasped in shock.
However, at this moment, no one was paying much attention to Qian Hai anymore.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Xiaotian standing on the stage.
At this time, the sun rose, its light shining on the hundred-thousand-circles sacred wheel on Yang Xiaotian's body, making the sacred wheel even more magnificent.
Yang Xiaotian's two Kaitian-level divine avatars stood behind him, exuding supreme majesty, causing even some in the Great Saint Realm to shudder in their presence.
The world fell silent.
Time seemed to come to a halt.
The ordinary divine sword in Yang Xiaotian's hand flickered with sword light.
Qian Hai attempted to climb up but fell back down again.
The disciples, including Liu Yuan and others, looked at Yang Xiaotian with faces full of shock and even fear.
Having cultivated fifty thousand rings of the Holy Wheel, Qian Hai with the Qiankun Dao Heart was undoubtedly the strongest among the disciples, even stronger than the Son of Thunder, yet he was still defeated by Yang Xiaotian with one sword strike.
"One of the seven defying heaven sacred bodies?" Golden Emperor Buddha Child Lin Zhen muttered to himself as he looked at Yang Xiaotian.
A flash of light appeared in the space, and a figure appeared beside Qian Hai—it was Mu Sanye.
Mu Sanye fed his disciple Qian Hai an elixir, picked up Qian Hai, and vanished from the spot. Before leaving, he gave Yang Xiaotian a complex look.
"On platform number sixty-six, Yang Xiaotian wins," the Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi of the Profound Thunder Empire finally announced.
Yang Xiaotian wins!
Qiu Zhi's voice echoed above the square.
With everyone watching, Yang Xiaotian stepped down from the stage.
Wherever Yang Xiaotian passed, the disciples hurriedly moved aside as they did earlier for the Son of Thunder, Qian Hai, and others, making way for him.
Old Lu, watching Yang Xiaotian approach, was also extremely excited. He never expected that their Young Master had condensed a hundred-thousand-circles sacred wheel.
At this moment, Old Lu felt immensely blessed.
He was the happiest person under heaven and earth.
"Congratulations, Young Master." Old Lu greeted him eagerly.
Yang Xiaotian nodded to Old Lu and then stood in his original position, waiting for the second match.
However, with the end of Yang Xiaotian's match against Qian Hai, the crowd had little interest in watching the matches of the Son of Thunder, Liu Yuan, and others.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor was in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, looking at Yang Xiaotian and wanting to say something but couldn't find the right words.
After a while, the first round of matches for all the disciples ended.
The draw for the second round began, and this time, Yang Xiaotian drew to face Golden Emperor Buddha Child Lin Zhen.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was to battle Golden Emperor Buddha Child Lin Zhen in the second round, the crowd was bewildered, then started buzzing softly.
Golden Emperor Buddha Child Lin Zhen was hailed as the foremost figure among the younger generation of the Buddha Sect across the Profound Thunder Empire and the Three Pure Continents.
Lin Zhen's legends were woven into tales of miracles, so many hoped Lin Zhen could defeat Yang Xiaotian, the Saint First Layer.
The crowd was expectant, but only Lin Zhen had a bitter expression.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Lin Zhen stepped onto the stage. Looking at Yang Xiaotian opposite him, he sighed inwardly, then said to the Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi of the Profound Thunder Empire, "I concede."
The disciples who hoped Lin Zhen could create a "miracle" and defeat Yang Xiaotian were stunned and filled with lament.
Nobody expected Lin Zhen to surrender outright.
However, Lin Zhen's expression remained calm after admitting defeat.
Ultimately, Yang Xiaotian secured victory in the second round without effort.
Then came the third and fourth rounds.
Until the final battle.
Yang Xiaotian won all effortlessly.
The final showdown was between Yang Xiaotian and the Son of Thunder.
Although the Son of Thunder, like Qian Hai, cultivated the Eternal Dao Heart, his Eternal Dao Heart was weaker than Qian Hai's; how could he be a match for Yang Xiaotian?
As for Liu Yuan, after entering the top ten and facing the Son of Thunder, she lost to him, not even making it into the top five.
After the Holy Path Conference ended, the Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi personally awarded Yang Xiaotian and others.
Finally, Qiu Zhi told Yang Xiaotian that their Profound Thunder Great Emperor was going to hold a palace banquet and invited Yang Xiaotian and the top ten disciples to attend, hoping Yang Xiaotian would come.
Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and agreed, as he wanted to ask the Profound Thunder Great Emperor about the Myriad Domains Holy Vein.
Receiving five stalks of hundred-million-year divine medicine, five hundred million lower grade Dao Holy Stones, and five thousand portions of Tenth Layer of Dao Holy Water from Qiu Zhi's hands, Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu left the scene.
As he passed by Liu Yuan, Yang Xiaotian cast a glance at her.
That glance made Liu Yuan feel uncomfortable all over.
Watching Yang Xiaotian's departing figure, Liu Yuan felt uneasy in her heart.
After all, just yesterday, she had claimed here that she would crush Yang Xiaotian underfoot, and many on the scene heard it. Now, she felt the gazes of the crowd around her were strange.
Upon returning to the residence, Yang Xiaotian gave half of the Tenth Layer of Dao Holy Water to Master Ding to recover.
After entering the Holy Realm, with both the Ninth and Tenth Layer of Dao Holy Water, Master Ding's recovery was exceptionally fast.
In the evening, the Profound Thunder Empire sent someone to invite Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu headed to the Imperial Palace to attend the palace banquet.
At the palace banquet, the Son of Thunder and Liu Yuan sat across from Yang Xiaotian, both feeling extremely uncomfortable.
After the banquet, Yang Xiaotian was invited by the Profound Thunder Great Emperor to the rear courtyard of the Imperial Palace.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor courteously exchanged pleasantries with Yang Xiaotian before inquiring about the Posuo Buddha Tree, smiling as he said, "Young Hero Yang, back when you entered the Five Elements Palace, was it you who obtained the Posuo Buddha Tree?"
The atmosphere in the entire space became tense and still.
Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi and others behind the Profound Thunder Great Emperor had also focused intently on Yang Xiaotian.
