Chapter 923
This was a bitter battle between Cang Qiong Tian Yun and Xing Huo Xun Yi . Both of them did not have it hard when fighting in the previous eight battles .
Cang Qiong Tian Yun's body was tyrannical . It was considered rare amongst those on the same level . His close combat offensive skills were similarly fierce and ruthless, and after being guided by General Hatchet Palace Master and the others, his body and close combat offensive skills were comparable to that of a fifth level Star Pagoda expert . But at the same time, he had a glaring weakness–that was his body movement skills were weak . In the previous battles, many cultivators could surpass him in speed . And it was because of this glaring weakness that made his overall strength stay at the fourth level standard .
When facing other opponents, Cang Qiong Tian Yun had an easy time–just directly attack from far .
He would send his fist out . Even if it was a far-range attack, it sufficed in defeating the opponent .
But it's a pity that this was useless against Xing Huo Xun Yi .
Xing Huo Xun Yi's ancient cultivation illusory realm was extremely extraordinary . Cang Qiong Tian Yun might be able to resist against it, but he would be distracted, causing his strength to suffer a decline . More importantly, the 'Mirage Annihilation' was extremely powerful . Three stacked Mirage Annihilations sufficed to damage the lifeforce of Cang Qiong Tian Yun . Many Mirages would envelop around Cang Qiong Tian Yun, forcing him to furiously break them apart . But even as he pushed the mirages apart, it would still damage him .
More importantly, the mirages were able to restrict him .
His far range attacks could not break apart the 'mirages', and his close combat skills did not let him get close to Xing Huo Xun Yi . As a result, he was 'consumed' by the other party during this battle .
"Break, break . " Cang Qiong Tian Yun fiercely roared . He was madly attacking the restrictive mirages . The World Mirages came endlessly, giving Cang Qiong Tian Yun a hard time . He would occasionally send an attack out, extending his arms to strike at Xing Huo Xun Yi, yet by then, a new mirage would have descended .
Xing Huo Xun Yi was cautious .
Under the frenetic offense, Cang Qiong Tian Yu could easily force him to activate his protective treasure with just a single strike . He would have lost then .
'His body is too strong . ' Xing Huo Xun Yi was also finding it taxing . The 'Mirage Annihilation' was his strongest move, and he could only form three of such world mirages at most . Only then could it barely injure the other party! That body was genuinely heaven-defying .
As such, Xing Huo Xun Yi maintained alert throughout the battle . He did not let Cang Qiong Tian Yun get close to him .
Cang Qiong Tian Yun was akin to a fierce beast . He did not dare let his body become too big since it would reduce his defenses . His defenses were the strongest only when it is maintained at the usual body shape . He would also extend his arms occasionally to try and sneak in some attacks .
After the time taken to brew a cup of tea .
Cang Qiong Tian Yun's lifeforce had been depleted, forcing him to unwillingly admit defeat .
'I've lost . ' Cang Qiong Tian Yun thought, 'In the future, I must think of ways to improve my speed . '
In the past, he had focused all his attention on the absolute art "12 Calamity Cosmos Body" . This was an absolute art belonging to the strongest warrior cultivation system . This absolute art aimed at obtaining the strongest defensive body that would not be destroyed after suffering from 10,000 calamities . The more extreme he tempered his body, the stronger his defenses would be . Even a casual swing of his hand would generate a vast force . It was only his speed that was lacking .
'General Hatchet Palace Master, General Heaven Light, Elder Dong Bo, and the others have said before that cultivating other systems would enable me to cover up this weakness . ' Cang Qiong Tian Yun thought . The 10,000 years period was too short . He needed a longer time to cultivate . As long as he could cover up this weakness of his, he would be able to reach the fifth level Star Pagoda strength .
"Cang Qiong Tian Yun, I would not have thought that your body is able to reach such a formidable stage . Admirable . " Xing Huo Xun Yi was indeed admirable of the other party . His father, 'Monarch Xing Huo', other than being famous for his flames, was also well-known for his fleshy body amongst those at the ninth level . As a result, his body was also slightly stronger than usual because of his bloodline cultivation system .
But compared to Cang Qiong Tian Yun, he was far lacking .
He knew Cang Qiong Tian Yun must undoubtedly have a formidable absolute art, but so what? He, Xing Huo Xun Yi, could easily obtain many absolute arts . The core members of the holy grounds could even obtain cosmos ranked absolute arts, but what happened to them in the end? They still had to cultivate in these arts themselves .
"I admire you more for you to improve so much in this short 10,000 years . I accept this loss wholeheartedly . " Cang Qiong Tian Yun said .
. . .
As the two most dazzling talented cultivators of this Star Convention Xing Huo Xun Yi and Cang Qiong Tian Yun talked to each other, they were also walking down the battle platform .
At the same time, on the high platform, the Primal Chaos giants were unknowingly turning over to the white-robed teenager who was seated by the edge where the five teachers of the convention sat . They knew that this time, Xue Ying's name would definitely be spread between the Primal Chaos giants since his performance was brilliant .
There were many unanswered questions still .
How was Xue Ying able to make Xing Huo Xun Yi improve so fast in the short 10,000 years with that great background of his? Improving his rank from 3,600th in the Star Pagoda preliminary selections to the eventual first rank during the decisive battle! That was truly unfathomable!
"Dong Bo Xue Ying . " A cold voice came from the side .
Xue Ying turned towards it .
Five Luster Serpent Ancestor remained cold, though his gaze towards Xue Ying was slightly different: "Congratulations . The Xing Huo Xun Yi you chose has become the top-ranked this time . "
"It is all due to his great comprehension ability . " Xue Ying chuckled immediately . He understood that it was rare for Five Luster Serpent Ancestor to take the initiative of 'congratulating' him .
After Five Luster Serpent Ancestor finished speaking, he continued looking downwards .
The over 200 talented cultivators were currently recovering . Some of the more heavily injured ones were being healed by the experts who were invited over by the organization of the Star Convention .
Very soon .
They began entering the Star Pagoda one after another . The Star Pagoda trials would be starting .
The performance of the 'decisive battle' and the two performances of attempting the Star Pagoda as well as their own performance throughout the 10,000 years of seeking help from the teachers of the convention, and many other reasons would be used by the five teachers of the convention as factors . The teachers would use these factors to select five cultivators . These five along with the top five ranked cultivators during the ranking battles would add up to a total of ten cultivators . These ten could decide which holy ground they want to enter . Furthermore, they would become core members of the holy grounds too .
