Chapter 1159: My Arrival at the Yellow River, Ascending the Ladder to Success

At the west entrance of the World Stage.

A man and a woman, two young people in luxurious clothing, entered.

The woman walking in front was dignified and noble, with phoenix eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, and a tall figure.

The young man walking behind her was slightly shorter by half a head. His temperament was clean, his features were refined, and although he hadn't completely shed his childlike innocence, it was evident that in a few years, he would be a rare beauty.

Muttering and complaining as he walked: "I told you I wasn't coming, but you insisted on dragging me to see it. What's so good about it? Interrupting my practice..."

The woman walking in front yanked him: "Hurry up!"

"Hey, don't pull my hand." The young man was a bit awkward, lowering his voice and saying urgently: "There are so many people."

The woman in front suddenly turned her head and stared at the young man.

The young man instinctively flinched, but his hand was tightly grasped, preventing him from retreating.

The beautiful woman raised her long, smooth index finger and pressed it to her lips: "Shush!"

Then she moved her index finger and pointed at the towering Supreme Dharma Appearance beside the Six Harmonies Pillar.

The complex pattern on the crimson dragon robe she pointed to was precisely that worn by the Chu Emperor.

She was telling the young man that the Son of Heaven of Chu was present and he should not talk too much.

Then she continued to drag him forward, squeezing into the Chu nation's viewing team.

The young man reluctantly followed behind, lowering his head and eyes, wishing that no one in the world knew him.

But suddenly he heard the cry of a Flame Sparrow.

This familiar sound...

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the martial arts stage. A vibrant world of fire instantly filled his vision.

His eyes suddenly lit up!

Not only for this young man.

In the view of the observing crowd.

Xiang Bei cleaved out with the Western Extreme Halberd technique. This halberd strike meant "From here westward, all is under my halberd."

Truly overbearing and peerless.

It was a move that pursued to the extreme and was impossible to avoid, intended to crush the opponent.

Jiang Wang, using the immortal technique of Ascending on Green Clouds, could not shake it off.

But in the next moment, crimson flames had already covered the entire martial arts arena.

The flames seemed to have spirits, flowing lively, catalyzing all things.

Heaven and earth merged, and the intense fire formed a realm of its own!

Xiang Bei's peerless halberd could reach the Western Extreme, but he was also already enveloped by the world of fire. The concept of the Western Extreme was also within the fire realm.

As the halberd fell, countless flowing fires separated them.

Flame Sparrows pecked, meteors fell.

Various derivative fire-element dao arts attacked this heavy halberd frantically, making every inch of its advance require immense courage.

It was truly like "traveling through mountains and rivers" to approach his opponent.

If he hadn't manifested the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, which had the power of external invaders being unable to intrude, this move would have nearly died out!

When Xiang Bei's Western Extreme momentum finally reached its end, arriving at the western extremity of this fire realm, Jiang Wang's retreating footsteps stopped. He no longer retreated or avoided, but instead advanced.

He lightly stepped forward. As he stepped out, he held up the sheath of Changxiangsi with his left hand, meeting the attack.

As the Divine Dragon Wood sheath collided with the Peerless Halberd, his footsteps firmly landed.

This light step he took surprisingly produced a heavy impact sound on the martial arts stage!

And the sheathed long sword he held with one hand, like iron poured and stone built, stayed where it was extended, unshakeably firm.

An arrow at the end of its flight cannot penetrate thin silk.

With the power of the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, the strength of the Eight Desolations Unreturning Halberd technique, and Xiang Bei's innate physique, this peerless halberd, falling on the Divine Dragon Wood sheath, could not move it by a single hair's breadth!

And Jiang Wang drew his sword again!

He held the sheath with his left hand to parry, and drew his sword with his right hand to advance further.

A swordsman's sword.

Nurtured in the sheath, killing when drawn.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, followed by the appearance of a setting sun, burning out its last rays, tragically heroic.

This was the first move of the Human Dao Sword Technique, Old General's Twilight!

This was the most tragic sword in the Human Dao Sword Technique, and also the one with the most sudden explosion and fastest speed. Jiang Wang often started with this move.

Facing a top-tier prodigy like Xiang Bei, the Human Dao Sword Technique, which had not been sublimated before, was truly inadequate.

However, this time was different.

On the snowy sword body of Changxiangsi, there was a crimson fire line along the spine.

The power of the fire realm, held in the sword body!

Crimson and white, so bright and vivid.

This sword was heavy and brave.

It seemed to be describing the story within this world of fire!

This world of intense fire had a history worth singing and weeping about. This sense of history undoubtedly enriched the foundation of this realm, making it more real and vivid.

Once upon a time, there was such a white-haired old general who, with his aging body, died for his country.

His person is dead, but his spirit remains.

Even life-and-death opponents on the battlefield could not but respect him.

His backbone supported a broken world.

His bravery was the sunset of the fire realm.

This sword, carrying the great momentum of the fire realm, came suddenly. Xiang Bei turned his halberd to parry.

The tip of the sword struck the halberd body, and Xiang Bei was directly knocked back several zhang!

Many people outside the arena widened their eyes, some even letting out uncontrollable exclamations.

This was Xiang Bei under the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body!

He was actually repelled by a single sword strike!

How terrifying was this sword?

Before they could finish their astonishment, the figure of the elegant Qi nation prodigy in a green robe had already shattered the green clouds and chased after him.

The Peerless Halberd twisted in Xiang Bei's hand, the tip pointing upwards.

Such a heavy halberd was as light as a lamp wick in his hand.

Yet its momentum was like stirring the sea and moving mountains, shattering a thousand li.

The Heaven-Turning Style of the Eight Desolations Unreturning Halberd Technique!

This style was unparalleled in bravery. Xiang Bei glared angrily. He fought against everything, meeting attacks from all directions.

If heaven wants to suppress me, I will overturn this heaven!

Jiang Wang's figure, arriving on the clouds, suddenly swayed, floating like green duckweed in the strong wind.

He shifted from extreme bravery to extreme powerlessness, doing so so naturally, effortlessly, and wonderfully!

He drifted back and forth in the Heaven-Turning Halberd momentum, but he refused to shatter.

Not only did he refuse to shatter, but amidst the powerlessness and drifting, a cold light suddenly burst forth!

His body couldn't help but move, but he didn't forget to fight back!

Such a wonderful confrontation entranced the spectators.

"This halberd strike is a bit weak, not like Xiang Bei's strength. Is he too heavily injured, and the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body can't suppress it anymore?"

On the circular stands, in the Chu nation's viewing team, a young man of medium build frowned and said this.

Two figures appeared in his peripheral vision, his brows relaxed, and he said in surprise: "Shunhua, Guangshu, you are here too?"

Qu Shunhua was still holding Zuo Guangshu with one hand, and putting her index finger to her lips with the other: "Shush."

She squeezed forward a few steps and sat down next to the person who had spoken. It was evident they had a good relationship.

And Zuo Guangshu let her drag him, sat down with her, his eyes fixed on the martial arts stage, completely lost in thought.

In the present world, in an event like the Yellow River Meeting, witnessing the unfolding of the fire realm firsthand made him, who had practiced the Water Realm technique for a long time, become captivated for a while.

This technique was truly too exquisite and vivid. The more he pondered it, the more he felt its potential was infinite.

In the eyes of some people outside the arena, Xiang Bei's offensive was much weaker than before, assuming it was due to his injuries.

But perhaps only Xiang Bei himself, who was on the stage, could feel the difficulty.

He was indeed seriously injured in his soul, but under the state of the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, he could temporarily ignore it. It only limited more soul techniques, but it did not affect his performance in other aspects – there was nothing wrong with this, he would never attempt to rush into Jiang Wang's Tongtian Palace again, it was just to enhance his combat opportunity capture ability with the Dragon Demon Army Formation Map.

However, the entire world of fire was resisting him, suppressing him.

The Western Extreme style was easily intercepted, and the Heaven-Turning style was simply broken open. It was all due to this suppression on himself and the enhancement on his opponent.

It was simply unimaginable how long he could last in this world of fire without the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body at this moment.

This feeling was similar to when he had previously invaded the Tongtian Palace with the Lone Rider Entering Formation Diagram.

Heaven will fall, the earth will be overturned, and the whole world is his enemy!

Although the situations were similar, Xiang Bei absolutely refused to accept the same outcome.

Facing the sword that Jiang Wang stabbed out from the Heaven-Turning style.

Xiang Bei let go of the Peerless Halberd!

At that time.

He, covered in black smoke and standing twelve feet tall, was suspended in the air, the peerless heavy halberd suspended in front of him.

The green-robed figure had already floated over like a leisurely stroll.

Xiang Bei clapped his hands together!

Behind him, a phantom of a nine-headed human-faced bird-bodied figure flashed.

And in front of him, an ice mountain rose from the ground!

In the fire realm, where water elements were completely expelled, an ice mountain rose from the ground!

Without the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body's "internal thieves are immortal", it would have been absolutely impossible to do this.

This mountain was called "North Pole Sky Cabinet".

This technique was also named after the mountain.

Legend has it that the divine bird Nine Phoenixes dwelled on this famous mountain.

Chu nation's techniques were the best in the world, and at the Inner Mansion level, this dao art could be said to be among the strongest defenses.

This ice mountain seemed to want to hold up the sky of the fire realm, and it was certainly fiercely confronting this fire realm.

Jiang Wang's struggling sword in the midst of drifting struck the North Pole Sky Cabinet mountain, producing a very crisp sharp sound.

The flowing fire-lined Changxiangsi pierced into the ice mountain by an inch, and Jiang Wang had already withdrawn his sword!

This inch of penetration into the North Pole Sky Cabinet mountain by Changxiangsi had made Jiang Wang feel the defensive strength of this ice mountain in front of him.

He quickly made a decision, interrupted the irresistible momentum, withdrew his sword, and changed his move.

Cold light flashed.

After being involuntarily caught in the momentum, he followed up with two consecutive sword strikes.

One sword slashed horizontally with elegance, and one sword thrust forward with confidence!

Noble falling!

Young and reckless!

How strong were these two sublimated Human Dao Sword styles, augmented by the power of the fire realm?

In the fire realm where flame sparrows swirled and flame flowers bloomed, a cold, hard ice mountain rose from the ground, standing firm.

And between heaven and earth, a horizontal line was drawn.

On that indestructible ice mountain, cracks spread like a spiderweb... and then an opening was made!

The North Pole Sky Cabinet mountain collapsed!

But in the battle of prodigies, each had their own methods.

While blocking the enemy with the North Pole Sky Cabinet technique, Xiang Bei was not idle either.

He erected the ice mountain, but then shot up into the sky.

He could not win the soul contest in Jiang Wang's Tongtian Palace, nor could he defeat Jiang Wang in the fire realm.

This was because the power of heaven and earth was different, and the whole world was his enemy.

Now he admitted that against an opponent like Jiang Wang, he could absolutely not win while burdened.

So he naturally wanted to retreat from the unfavorable terrain.

However, this fire realm was full of vitality, forming a self-contained entity, operating as one. Even with the assistance of the Dragon Demon Army Formation Map, in a short time, it was impossible to find a weakness.

He chose to attack fiercely.

He held the Peerless Halberd upside down, and his tall, strong figure flew rapidly towards the sky.

Black smoke flowed, resisting the surging heat.

Countless flame sparrows chirped and swooped down, blocking his path. Rumbling fire meteors fell like rain.

Feeling the stagnation of the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, Xiang Bei gripped the long shaft.

On the crescent blades on both sides of the Peerless Halberd, a flash of green light suddenly appeared at this moment.

The entire snowy halberd blade of the Peerless Halberd was immediately stained with a smoky green color. The halberd tip hadn't moved, but the space in front of the halberd tip already had faint black marks... That was a sign that it was about to crack open!

Divine Ability, 法青刃 (Fa Qing Ren - Law-Shattering Green Blade)!

This divine ability had only one very simple effect -

"Shatter Dao Arts"!

The Peerless Halberd swept horizontally, and groups of flame sparrows scattered and collapsed!

The fire meteors falling from the sky, still at a high altitude, were split in half by the sharp edge of the Peerless Halberd.

Falling stars rained down, all avoiding the Peerless Halberd, falling around Xiang Bei without touching him at all.

The tall, sturdy Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, emitting black smoke, flew rapidly in the noisy, hot world of fire.

As he went, the flowing stars were extinguished, and the flame sparrows turned to ash.

The Peerless Halberd, augmented by the Law-Shattering Green Blade, was unobstructed wherever it went. The various fire-element dao arts evolved within the fire realm couldn't even cause delay.

The Peerless Halberd was like a sharp knife cutting through thin paper, without any resistance. Nothing could block it, no technique could stop it.

This scene was truly like a god descending to the world, his might was like this!

The Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body combined with the Law-Shattering Green Blade, these two divine abilities combined, truly had the potential to be invincible.

At the same time as the North Pole Sky Cabinet mountain collapsed.

Xiang Bei also surged to the limit of the high dome of the fire realm, raised the heavy halberd with one hand, and fiercely stabbed it into the dome!

Rumble!

It was as if the thunder of the end of the world suddenly sounded!

Endless fire rain bypassed Xiang Bei's majestic figure, as if also fearing him.

The fire meteors constantly streaking across the sky stopped abruptly.

The flame flowers blooming all over the world withered leaf by leaf.

The flame sparrows flying everywhere collapsed one by one.

The entire world of intense flames began to disintegrate!

The fire realm was shattered!

Manifesting the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, augmenting the Law-Shattering Green Blade, forcefully shattering the opponent's fire realm, standing proudly in the high dome.

At this moment, Xiang Bei was undoubtedly at the peak of his momentum.

Unparalleled in bravery, unmatched in the world!

The people of Chu outside the arena were almost cheering for him.

But Xiang Bei, who was like a god or a demon on the stage, looked down in astonishment. He had already seen -

Amidst the withering flame flowers, amidst the fragments of collapsing flame sparrows, amidst the flowing fire light filling the sky and the ground, in the collapsing world of fire... a figure suddenly rushed out.

A pair of calm, clear, and absolutely unyielding eyes.

A clean and tidy, well-fitted green robe.

A sword with a hilt like the night and a blade like the bright moon!

This person was clearly rushing so fast and so urgently, yet there was a kind of leisurely immortal aura, like strolling through a courtyard.

Clusters of green cloud imprints appeared and then shattered.

This person ascended from below.

Stepping on the green cloud ladder, behind him was the smoke and fire of the collapsing fire realm.

The disappearing fire line on the sword spine indicated that it had lost the augmentation of the fire realm's power.

But Xiang Bei's dual pupils clearly saw that in the moon-white of that sword, there was a hint of frost!

Moon-white and frost-white were both white, almost indistinguishable.

Perhaps the only difference was that moon-white was clearer, and frost-white was colder.

This difference did not escape Xiang Bei's dual pupils.

But...

Frost color?

Jiang Wang's speed in breaking the North Pole Sky Cabinet mountain exceeded expectations.

The collapsing fire realm also completely concealed his movements.

This was a sword strike whose timing was absolutely exquisite.

This sword strike was too fast and too absolute, it was almost upon him the moment Xiang Bei saw it!

So he was astonished!

He instinctively reversed the Peerless Halberd, his body already reacting instinctively at the fastest speed.

The earth carries all things with its virtue.

If the earth lacks virtue, I shall overturn it!

The Earth-Overturning Style of the Eight Desolations Unreturning Halberd was already brought down.

At this moment, the fire realm had collapsed. Without any suppression, the Eight Desolations Unreturning Halberd technique he wielded with the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body feared no challenge.

He faced a familiar sword strike.

This was the sword of youth and recklessness.

This was the proud sword of stepping on the green cloud ladder and rising step by step!

He had seen it before and recognized the power of this sword.

Outside the fire realm, responding with the Earth-Overturning style, he was full of confidence.

Halberd and sword met.

This scene seemed to freeze.

The Peerless Halberd and Changxiangsi met in the high sky.

One from top to bottom, the Peerless Halberd covering the earth, one from bottom to top, ascending step by step.

Xiang Bei's tall and strong figure was like a god or a demon, Jiang Wang's calm and composed figure never turned back.

Behind Jiang Wang was the destruction of the fire realm, the collapse of an entire brilliant world.

In front of him was the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, unparalleled in bravery and unmatched in the world.

But he ascended, but he moved forward!

His momentum was unstoppable, his sharpness irresistible!

I came to the Yellow River, ascending the green cloud ladder!

Lest there be no heroes in the world, I must make my name known throughout the land!

At that time, the flame light scattered, and the flowing fire filled the sky.

The birth and destruction of a brilliant world, a head-on confrontation between two top prodigies.

This scene was extremely beautiful, extremely shocking, making people almost forget to breathe.

Then, the sound of wind seemed to echo.

The sound was too faint, it should have been湮滅ed in the terrifying noise of the halberd and sword collision.

But the sound of the wind was too cold, making people's bones feel cold and lingering, yet it was clear amidst the loud noise.

That was the lonely sound of life withering.

The moment the halberd and sword collided.

A wisp of frost-white wind, leaving the Changxiangsi sword body, blew through the crossguard of the Peerless Halberd, transforming into a long nail that was completely black with a frost-white tip, and nailed onto Xiang Bei's abdomen.

The Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body's "internal thieves are immortal, external thieves are unable to intrude", a mere manifested long nail, even a divine ability like Buzhou Feng cannot...

This thought had just flashed through Xiang Bei's mind.

He raised his head and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

What he spat out was not only fresh blood, but also roaring black smoke.

That was his collapsing Swallowing Thief Soul!

The Life-Killing Nail was annihilating his destiny soul!

The Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body was actually shattered by a single nail, and the previously suppressed injuries also erupted at the same time!

A clear light enveloped Xiang Bei.

It stopped the Life-Killing Nail that was still raging in Xiang Bei's body and also helped stabilize his destiny soul.

True Monarch Yu Xi made his move, and the victor was decided.

But Jiang Wang still took a step forward, closing in on Xiang Bei, as if trying to break through Yu Xi's obstruction and kill him here by force!

However, he only extended one hand.

In his palm, only a flame flower bloomed.

Such a beautiful, exquisite... but in a battle of this level, it could not be considered a strong flame flower.

The flame flower created by the Great Chu prodigy Zuo Guanglie, which was now emulated throughout the world... the flame flower!

This extremely vibrant flame flower, through the hazy clear light, pressed onto Xiang Bei's arrogant face.

Pressing him downwards.

"You know what it is."

Jiang Wang said lightly.

Then, with a casual grasp, he retrieved the Life-Killing Nail that had penetrated the Swallowing Thieves Tyrannical Body, grasped it into wind, and absorbed it into his body.

He sheathed his sword, turned around calmly, and walked down from the high dome.

Xiang Bei, who was enveloped in clear light, with a flame flower on his face, still constantly scattering black smoke from his body, and falling in a straight line...

Became the background for the still figure of the young man in the green robe in this picture.
