Chapter 29
Everyone turned their attention to Li Lingtian as they were baffled by his disposition.
Li Lingtian looked like a floating cloud. Dressed in white, he carried an indifferent attitude whilst his slender figure exuded a rather calm presence amid the furious storm of forces.
“Boom.”
“Wham.”
“…”
With his eyes on Duanmu Qing, Li Lingtian circulated the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation to set off the True Qi in his body with haste, warding off the mighty repression.
The Fire Dragon’s Heart spun quickly in his Dantian too. However, the Fire Dragon’s Might was also profoundly powerful. Although he could not attain full control of the Fire Dragon’s Heart, it was more than enough to keep him from being crushed by Duanmu Qing’s repression.
He gently took a step forward. With that, the vigor over his body suddenly intensified.
With each step forward, the vigor over Li Lingtian increased, and as sounds of heavy footsteps echoed on the solid ground in the square, countless disciples’ faces turned pale. They could feel the thumping on their chests.
“This — this vigor is very violent.”
“His vigor is still rising.”
“What a strange vigor.”
“There’s only one word to sum up the sect’s Grand Tournament, fascinating.”
Back on the platform, the judges were having an intense discussion. The four Warrior King Elders perked up at the sight of Li Lingtian and became curious about his display of vigor.
“Get down here.”
With his vigor reaching a pinnacle, it drew a parallel of the strength between him and Duanmu Qing. Looking at a proud Duanmu Qing in the arena, Li Lingtian coldly blurted while he circulated his Fire Dragon’s Heart, prompting a defiant burst of Flaming Qi.
“Boom.”
The square shook following a bang. The two powerful vigors had come into blows. Li Lingtian’s vigor may not be on a par with Duanmu Qing’s but the might of the Fire Dragon’s Heart was incomparable. The result of the domineering Flaming Qi merging into his vigor was simply astounding.
‘Humph.”
Duanmu Qing let out a cold snort at the sound of the bang. He no longer looked down upon Li Lingtian, this Warrior disciple and instead, he could feel fear seeping into him.
He was filled with furious rage when Li Lingtian shouted at him to get down. Li Lingtian’s vigor may exceed his expectation but he was still far from bearing comparison to him. Li Lingtian must be out of his mind to command him like that.
However, whilst he snorted, he detected that a destructive Flaming Qi was rushing over towards him, forcing him to take a step back. With just one false step, he then fell off the arena.
“Woah.”
The Warriors in the square were completely gobsmacked. It had never crossed their minds that Duanmu Qing would be tripped off the arena by Li Lingtian’s vigor. A Tier Six Warrior Spirit with the Star Radiant Body was knocked down by the vigor of a Tier Nine Warrior disciple.
The judges and four Warrior King on the platform were dumbstruck too.
“I don’t like to see those on high.
“Now, you can unleash your Star Radiant Body.”
These careless words set another round of whirlwind among the Warriors. Never had they seen such an arrogant person.
After all that commotion of being crushed by vigor, the battle had not even started. How could they possibly take it?
“Alright, alright.”
Duanmu Qing descended onto the square. Visibly upset, he glared at Li Lingtian. His glowering face was an indication that he wanted to tear Li Lingtian apart. He had never thought that he would be humiliated in front of so many Warriors.
“Star Radiant Body, destroy!”
He circulated his body of True Qi to the extreme, stimulating the blood circulation in his Star Radiant Body. Then, a giant light ball appeared in his hand. Compared to the darker end of the Square, the giant ball was like the sun.
“It’s the destructive force from the Star Radiant Body again. It’s over.”
“Li Lingtian’s definitely done for.”
“Such a pity that he was too insolent. Li Lingtian would become a genius if he didn’t step on Senior Brother Duanmu Qing’s toes.”
At the sight of Duanmu Qing launching an attack, many disciples shared the same thought that the match was over. No one was able to withstand the destructive force, let alone a Warrior disciple.
“Elder Qin, do we stop the match?”
Zhang Ling was shocked upon witnessing Duanmu Qing’s attack. He was pleased with Li Lingtian, so he did not want any harm to come to these two disciples. No matter how omnipotent the Warrior disciple was, it was impossible for him to defend against the destructive force of a Star Radiant Body.
“Hold on.”
Qin Tian faintly answered but he circulated his body of True Qi in the meantime. In case Li Lingtian was at risk, he would be able to rescue him.
Li Lingtian looked back calmly at the Star Radiant Body. Although he had a composed demeanor, killing intent was brewing within him. The person in possession of the Star Radiant Body must die.
“Star Radiant Body, humph.
“Flaming Divine Fist, penetrate.”
He had circulated his Heaven and Earth Reincarnation to the fullest that the Fire Dragon’s Heart in his Dantian was at the point of exploding. Even his Flaming Sacred Body could sense the violent destructive Flaming Qi stir in the Fire Dragon’s Heart.
Once the Fire Dragon’s Heart was mobilized, a fearsome scorching force was sent to his arm. Li Lingtian then unleashed the Flaming Divine Fist and a flame that was the length of a yard emerged.
“What a strange Flaming Qi.”
“I can’t believe this horrifying Flaming Qi.”
“Flaming Sacred Body, it’s Flaming Sacred Body.”
The Warrior Kings were taken aback by Li Lingtian’s terrifying Flaming Qi. Although they thought nothing of Li Lingtian’s cultivation level and ability, this Flaming Qi left them trembling in the knees.
“Flaming Sacred Body!”
“It’s the Flaming Sacred Body.”
“Flaming Sacred Body. It’s the Flaming Sacred Body in the legends.”
“The Flaming Sacred Body against the Star Radiant Body. It’s no wonder.”
On the platform, the judges’ and Warrior Kings’ minds were blown. They had finally witnessed the Flaming Sacred Body in the flesh. The Flaming Sacred Body had reputation no less to the Star Radiant Body, or perhaps it was even stronger.
“No, the Flaming Sacred Body is a constitution but this Qi is familiar.”
“Could it be the Fire Dragon Cave?”
“He went into the Fire Dragon Cave?”
“Investigate, look into it now.”
“Elder Qin, it’s the Fire Dragon’s Qi.”
As the Warrior Kings were wrapped in perplexity, the Fire Dragon Cave came into Qin Tian’s mind. This Flaming Qi carried a familiar Fire Dragon’s Qi, and in Sky Cloud Sect, the Fire Dragon Cave was most well known.
“Krung.”
At that moment, an earth-shattering blow exploded in the air. While the destructive force from the Star Radiant Body was heading towards Li Lingtian, it filled the atmosphere with catastrophic energy.
Hence, Li Lingtian slammed the Flaming Divine Fist with a blend of the Fire Dragon’s Heart’s energy.
The square was flipped upside down at the collision of the two attacks. Not only were countless disciples swept away by these forces, but both Li Lingtian and Duanmu Qing were repulsed by the impact as well.
“Ptui.”
“Ptui.”
Two separate sounds of blood spats followed. Struck by weight of destruction, the duo spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Retreat to over two hundred yards,” Long Tian shouted.
The battle between two disciples had gone beyond the might of the Warrior Spirits. The affected area was incredibly massive and any ordinary disciples would be killed upon contact.
“Not bad, not bad. You’re the first to survive my destructive force.”
The murderous intent on Duanmu Qing’s face intensified. Being beaten by a Warrior disciple had stripped his pride away. For the endless threats this disciple had brought about, he must be deprived of existence.
“Don’t think highly of yourself. You’re nothing in my eyes.
“We should bring a heavier storm.”
With a deranged smile on his face, Li Lingtian’s slender figure withstood the inexhaustible tearing forces as his long mane scattered in all directions and swayed with the wind. He did not look like a good-for-nothing but rather an almighty master.
“Overlord Spear, Forces Destruction Strike.”
The Star Radiant Body was a constitution that was extremely powerful while the Flaming Sacred Body was equally a vector and incomparable in its right. Nevertheless, the duo was unable to bring the constitution to full play due to their lack in cultivation level. For that, they would require the aid of skills and armed weapons.
A foot-long imperious spear emerged with an air of destruction. In the blink of an eye, the spear pounced onto Li Lingtian as if it was an embodiment of a Flood Dragon

.
“Sky Perishing Spear.”
Li Lingtian unleashed the same ordinary Spiritual Equipment. The two ordinary Spiritual Equipments then clashed violently against one another, driving sounds of explosion. Li Lingtian continued to retreat and was eventually overcome by Duanmu Qing.
The difference between a Tier Six Warrior Spirit and Tier Nine Warrior was worlds apart. It would be a miracle if Li Lingtian survived this move.
Li Lingtian could not gain a single advantage from the Spiritual Equipment. Moreover, Duanmu Qing’s Forces Destructive Strike was an Onyx Tier skill. Li Lingtian immediately regretted not opting for the Sky Perishing Spear.
“Die.”
As Li Lingtian gradually lost momentum, Duanmu Qing laid bare his ruthlessness. He gathered all his strength into the spear and struck a deadly blow onto Li Lingtian.
“Stop.”
“No.”
“Brother Lingtian.”
Everyone in the square watched in horror, including the judges and Warrior Kings on the platform. However, it was too late to stop it.
The Sky Perishing Spear was cast away from Li Lingtian’s grip. With Duanmu Qing’s Overlord Spear already on its way, even a Warrior King would not be able to intercept in such a distance.
“Do you think it’ll be this easy?
“If so, I can only say that you’re naive.”
Li Lingtian was surprised to find that the destructive force was corroding his body as the Overlord Spear approached. It was wishful thinking to dodge the Overlord Spear with Breeze Technique. Once the attack of a Warrior Spirit was targeted and locked in by the Divine Mindfulness, it was impossible to evade.
At the arousal of his Divine Mindfulness, Li Lingtian extended his arm before a ring, the size of a palm emerged. The ring, alternating between red and blue colour, enlarged to a yard long and acted as a barricade in front of Li Lingtian.
“Ice and Fire Ring.”
A tiny voice was heard. Although the voice was soft, it caught Li Lingtian’s attention. He was shocked to learn that someone here recognized the Ice and Fire Ring. Something did not add up.
After scanning with his Divine Mindfulness, he found a Tier Three Warrior Spirit with mixed emotions — a blend of shock and excitement.
“Bam.”
The Overlord Spear rammed onto the ring with a thundering blow but failed to advance further. However, Li Lingtian was still blown away by the powerful assault, with traces of bloodstains on the edge of his lips.
The Ice and Fire Ring grew dim until it resumed to its original form and returned to Li Lingtian’s hand. The Ice and Fire Ring had blocked off this fatal strike.
The square was now pin-drop silence. Everyone’s jaw dropped at the sight that a mysterious treasure had warded off the Overload Spear from killing Li Lingtian.
The four Warrior Kings let out a sigh of relief but were more so tickled with curiosity. Their abilities were miles apart yet they displayed equal strength in the face of confrontation.
They wanted to know just how many cards these two disciples had up their sleeves. A duel of this kind surpassed any battle amongst Warrior Spirit disciples.
