C1270 Counterattack one by one
Qin Xuan stood in the air, as if he was independent from the world. His tall and straight body gave off a peerless elegance, causing people to be captivated. Countless gazes gathered on him, a few traces of hope could be seen within their eyes.
However, not everyone was looking forward to Qin Xuan's performance.
For example, Cao Jingtian and Cao Zhao, as well as the old marquis who had quarreled with Qin Xuan many times, all of them wished that Qin Xuan would fail in his steps. In this way, all of the heroic words that Qin Xuan had said before were just for show, and would only make people feel that it was laughable.
It also proved at the same time that Qin Xuan's talent was not as strong as they had imagined.
In fact, they were a little fearful of Qin Xuan in their hearts. It was not because they feared Qin Xuan's strength, but because of his innate talent.
If Qin Xuan's Inherent Skill was really that strong, when he matured, how terrifying would it be?
And if Qin Xuan found them at that time, what kind of attitude would they have towards Qin Xuan, and would he be able to let go of what happened today?
Therefore, rather than seeing the birth of a peerless genius, they were more willing to see this rising youth fall from the divine altar.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Qin Xuan, at the moment, Qin Xuan was completely focused on the Heavenly Stele, his eyes were shining with a purple gold light, as though he could see through all the illusions, his gaze directly pierced through the distance between the Endless Space, and landed on the Heavenly Stele.
At this time, Qin Xuan saw numerous ancient inscriptions on the Heavenly Stele. The words were blurry and complex and obscure, completely different from the languages of this era.
The Holy Sword Source Spirit released a great radiance as its sword light covered the Endless Area. The tyrannical Sword Path Rule moved about in the void, gradually breaking the shackles of the God Rays of Heaven's Illumination.
However, Qin Xuan's expression still remained indifferent as usual. How firm was his willpower? The pressure released by the Heavenly Stele, however, was only directed at the realm of the martial cultivator. With such a degree, it was unable to pose a real threat to Qin Xuan.
Under countless shocked gazes, Qin Xuan took his eleventh step, and immediately after, his twelfth step.
Thirteen steps down Heavenly Stele, Qin Xuan had already taken twelve steps, and was only one step away from reaching his limit.
At this moment, it was as though everyone's breathing had halted. Their gazes were filled with a sense of absent-mindedness as they stared dumbfoundedly at the figure standing in the air. They didn't know what to say.
"Master Cao, do you think Cao Jingtian can reach the twelfth step?" A calm voice came out, Yin Shi looked towards Cao Zhao's direction, these words seemed to be asking, but in truth, everyone understood that it was just mocking Cao Zhao, who had eyes but was unable to see.
Before, when Cao Zhao compared Cao Jingtian to Qin Xuan, he thought that being able to take the tenth step was already very talented, so now, how could he explain it?
From the tenth to twelfth steps, not much time had passed either.
Cao Zhao's expression was rather ugly as he stared coldly at Qin Xuan. What he was worried about had still happened, but he did not expect that Qin Xuan would actually be able to take the twelfth step, which was already the limit of what he could do.
This meant that, even in the most glorious era of the martial way, Qin Xuan was still the most top-notch monster, someone that very few people could compare to.
"Enough." The Dragon Lord's face revealed a look of ecstasy. The fact that Qin Xuan was able to take the twelfth step proved that his physical body and soul were both impeccable, far surpassing his own realm, and that Linger's physical body was extremely strong. If the two of them worked together, they would definitely be able to endure the pain of having his bloodline devour his body.
"He's so strong …" Below, Lian Er stared blankly at the figure in the sky, her mouth slightly wide open as she asked.
Her heart raced even faster, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief, she had never thought that the arrogant youth she had met in Xiaoxiang Restaurant that day would actually have such a tyrannical Inherent Skill, being able to take 12 steps under the Heaven's Illumination.
From what she knew, excluding the First Prince, the Fifth Princess and the Third Prince, the Twelve Lord and a small minority of the army leaders had the highest talent. The army leaders did not come today, but the twelve Lord s were all here, but no one could compare to Qin Xuan.
As strong as Qu Xuefeng, he had only taken six steps, while Bian Jun and Zhou Zhuang had also stopped at the ninth step, so they were unable to step into the ranks of the top demons.
Initially, she only thought that it was because the Heavenly Stele was too strong, and that the geniuses of this era simply could not take ten steps. Therefore, when Cao Jingtian had stepped past the tenth step, she already felt extremely shocked in her heart.
If Cao Jingtian was a top monster, then what was Qin Xuan?
"Is that what he's been trying to prove?" Long Linger looked at Qin Xuan with her clean eyes, and a strange light seemed to flow within them.
Qin Xuan had previously said that his talent was not something that Nine Domains List could display, but now, Qin Xuan was using the truth to confirm his words.
Just as everyone was in a state of shock, Qin Xuan once again raised his foot and stepped forward.
"Again?" Third Dragon Prince's expression immediately froze, is this guy crazy?
He had only taken twelve steps, yet he was already taking the thirteenth step so quickly?
When the crowd saw Qin Xuan raising his foot to take a step, their hearts started to tremble violently. It was not that they did not believe that Qin Xuan could step 13 steps, but what made them unable to understand was that Qin Xuan was about to step on it so quickly.
"Crazy enough." Dragon Lord's eyes emitted a light ray. This little fellow was even more ruthless than he was back then!
In reality, when Qin Xuan took this step, he did not think too much about it. He only felt that this step was not too difficult for him, even if it was the last step.
Numerous gazes shot towards Qin Xuan, and their expressions all became extremely solemn, as if they were waiting for something. Could Qin Xuan bring them a miracle?
Qin Xuan's body was like a dragon as he stepped forward, towards the space ahead of him. In this instant, he felt a tremendous force of over ten million pounds pressing down on his legs, heavy to the point where he couldn't breathe.
Right at this moment, the Stellar Wanxiang Diagram in his body started to revolve, and endless star light started to flow through his four limbs and bones. His body seemed to emit a kind of starlight aura, as if he was wearing a treasured star robe, removing the invisible pressure, and his entire body suddenly became relaxed.
As his feet landed, Qin Xuan moved forward, and the thirteenth step, completely landed!
Looking ahead, the Heavenly Stele was not far away, and from there, Qin Xuan could see the symbols on the Heavenly Stele more clearly, as if it was within reach.
The Vast Space had suddenly become incomparably silent. Everyone held their breath, and only the sound of their hearts beating could be heard.
And at this time, the expressions of Cao Zhao, Cao Jingtian, the old marquis, and the people who were not optimistic about Qin Xuan all froze on the face. Their gazes were fixated on the figure standing in front of the Heavenly Stele, and they only felt that the light coming from his body was somewhat dazzling.
Especially for Cao Jingtian, at this moment, his heart was in turmoil and he was unable to calm down.
Qin Xuan actually managed to do it. Stepping into the thirteenth step of the Heavenly Stele, and the last three steps were done almost at the same time, flowing like water, as if to him, it was not merely stepping, but a casual stroll.
Cao Jingtian was extremely confused, how did he do it?
Cao Jingtian had always been extremely confident in his own strength and talent. Even if it was the current Dragon First Prince who was regarded as the number one genius of the dragon race, although he didn't dare say that he could compare to her, at least the gap between them wouldn't be too wide.
But the feeling Qin Xuan gave him was as if he was in the distant horizon, it was simply impossible for him to catch up and he could only look up.
He did not believe, he did not believe that the difference between him and Qin Xuan would be so huge, and that there must be some unspeakable secret within!
Qin Xuan, of course, did not know what Cao Jingtian was thinking, he only saw Qin Xuan slowly turning around, and did not look at Cao Jingtian, but looked at Cao Zhao who was in the crowd, and spoke: "The thirteenth step of the Heavenly Stele, does that mean I can sit on equal footing with First Prince Long?"
With that said, Cao Zhao's face became even more unsightly.
He was a dignified Emperor Realm character, a renowned Marquis of the dragon race. Yet today, he was being questioned with a condescending attitude by a junior. This was simply a great humiliation!
What was even more shameful was that he just had no way to refute Qin Xuan's words.
Previously, he had ridiculed Qin Xuan in front of everyone because he did not deserve to be placed on the same level as the First Prince.
And at this moment, Qin Xuan was standing at the thirteenth step of the Heavenly Stele, that young figure seemed to be rather lofty, as if his body was releasing a divine radiance, as though he was a god.
They could feel the aura of an emperor from Qin Xuan's body, but they had only felt this kind of aura from the Dragon Lord s before.
Qin Xuan was naturally unable to respond to his words.
Even if First Prince Long was here today, he might not even be able to take the thirteenth step, but Qin Xuan had done it.
Just this point was enough to prove what Qin Xuan had said before. If he was within the same realm, he would not be inferior to the Dragon Prince.
Shifting his gaze away from Cao Zhao, Qin Xuan then looked at the old marquis once more. When the old marquis saw Qin Xuan's gaze darting towards him, his expression couldn't help but change, and an indescribable sense of panic flashed through his heart. It had been a long time since he last encountered such a feeling of nervousness.
And the person who brought him this kind of sensation, was actually someone from the fifth layer stage junior generation. He had never imagined that such a thing would happen.
"The thirteenth step, is it more convincing than the tenth step of Nine Domains List?" Qin Xuan spoke again. His tone was incomparably calm, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter.
However, the moment he said that, many people's eyes could not help but reveal a strange expression. Qin Xuan's current movements, could it be that he wanted to retaliate against the people who were targeting him?
The old marquis' face was burning, and he felt ashamed. He looked around and felt that everyone was watching him as a joke. This was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life!
