Peerless God Emperor

It was another one-sided battle. There was no doubt about it.    

Even though Ksitigarbha had sent out three Second Calamity Celestial Venerables, the result was no different from the first battle. In front of Qin Xuan, they seemed to have no ability to resist and were instantly killed.    

Prior to this, most people did not have a clear understanding of Qin Xuan's strength. Even though he was the successor of the former Divine King, he was still too young and had just stepped into the Celestial Venerable Realm. Subconsciously, they thought of him as a junior and did not think that he would have such a shocking performance.    

However, the two battles just now had shocked everyone. This new Divine King was too heaven-defying. He had such terrifying combat strength when he just stepped into the Celestial Venerate Realm. If he grew to the peak of the Celestial Venerable Realm, how strong would he be?    

They could not imagine it. Only a few experts knew about it.    

At this moment, many people in the Divine World respected Qin Xuan even more. They even had a faint sense of worship. Previously, they had accepted him as the new king because he was the successor of the former Divine Kings. But now, their thoughts had changed.    

Qin Xuan's talent was completely worthy of the position of Divine King. In the future, he would definitely reach the same level as the Divine Kings of the past.    

"Is there anyone else who wants to experience it?" Qin Xuan looked at the Ksitigarbha crowd. He was calm and relaxed.    

Many experts of the Earth Matrix had sharp gazes, feeling greatly humiliated, but no one dared to act rashly. Qin Xuan had obviously not used his full strength in the battle just now, and no one knew where his limit was. The Second Calamity was definitely not his opponent, and only the Third Calamity could possibly defeat him.    

Almost all the experts who came this time were at the First and Second Calamity, and only one at the Third Calamity. Of course, it was not because the Earth Matrix Palace only had one Third Calamity, but because the experts who cultivated to the Third Calamity were all very old, and it was common to see them for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. It was impossible for such a figure to fight with a junior in front of everyone, even if the junior was the king of the Divine World. It was also a very embarrassing thing.    

The higher the level, the more people cared about their face, especially in front of a large crowd. They would not even bother to attack a low level person. That was lowering their own status, making them a joke.    

Therefore, only one Third Calamity expert came, and he was the third disciple of the Earth Fiend Venerable. He had stepped into the Third Calamity Stage after cultivating for more than 40,000 years, and he was currently the youngest Third Calamity expert in the Earth Matrix Palace. He had been pinned with high expectations, and it was very likely that he would reach the level of the Earth Fiend Venerable in the future.    

Yuan Lu's expression was extremely solemn. He originally wanted to watch the show, and he had never thought of fighting. The lineup that the Earth Matrix Palace had brought was powerful enough, and it was not his turn to fight.    

However, the reality far exceeded their expectations. Now, it seemed that he could only fight.    

A sharp light flashed across Yuan Lv's eyes. He stepped forward, intending to personally redeem Kṣitigarbha's reputation. At this moment, a clear voice was heard, "I will show you the grace of the Divine King."    

At the same time, a black shadow stepped out. When they saw the figure, countless people's eyes froze.    

The figure who walked out was none other than Kṣitigarbha's Young Master.    

Was he going to personally redeem Kṣitigarbhas reputation?    

The experts of the Kasyapa Temple and the others looked at Xiao Nanli, and their hearts were slightly shaken. They did not expect him to personally make a move. If he did, this battle would have a different meaning.    

One was the successor of Kṣitigarbha, and the other was the successor of the former Divine King. Furthermore, their realms were the same. The outcome of this battle would definitely be discussed by countless people.    

They naturally had great confidence in Xiao Nanli's strength. Not only was Kṣitigarbha's peerless talent, but many seniors of his seniority were also not his match. Kṣitigarbha had once said that his talent was above his own, and his future achievements would be limitless.    

Only he had such an evaluation.    

Even if they were to fight the successor of the former Divine King, they still believed that Xiao Nanli had a higher chance of winning.    

In terms of talent, Xiao Nanli was definitely not weaker than Qin Xuan. Furthermore, Xiao Nanli had been growing up under Kṣitigarbha's guidance, enjoying the best cultivation resources in the world. From the start, he had far surpassed his peers, and he was extremely hardworking. Who could defeat him? What could they win?    

Moreover, Xiao Nan Li had been in the Heavenly Venerate Realm for a longer time. For top geniuses, there would be a huge gap between them if they had more time. Therefore, Xiao Nan Li had the advantage.    

They were filled with anticipation. They hoped that Xiao Nan Li would be able to defeat Qin Xuan and even kill him. That would be extremely beneficial to Ksitigarbha. It would also be beneficial for the upcoming battle.    

If there was a chance, they would do everything they could to make a move.    

Qin Xuan looked at Xiao Nan Li calmly. During the battle at the Seven Swords Mountain, Xiao Nan Li had only used his divine sense to descend. He had also concealed his appearance. Therefore, this was the first time they had met in person.    

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.    

Only Xiao Nan Li was worthy of his seriousness.    

"I thought that it would be your turn after the third tribulation. I didn't expect it to be earlier. But this is good, so we don't have to waste time." Qin Xuan said indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, countless people felt their hearts twitch violently.    

The meaning of Qin Xuan's words was obvious. In his eyes, Xiao Nan Li's strength was above the third tribulation.    

This evaluation was extremely high.    

In comparison, the people from Ksitigarbha were much calmer. They didn't think that Qin Xuan had overestimated Xiao Nan Li's talent. Since Qin Xuan had the strength of the third tribulation, then their Young Master naturally had the strength of the third tribulation as well.    

"It's a battle between you and me, so there's no need for others to participate." Xiao Nan Li replied calmly.    

He did not stop the previous two battles because he wanted to let the people of Earth Matrix to experience the power of the Divine World. In the future, they would cultivate diligently. He stopped Yuan Lu from fighting because Yuan Lu's identity was special. If he lost, the face of the Earth Fiend Venerable would be humiliated. Yuan Lu's Dao heart would also be greatly affected, and his cultivation might be obstructed. The price was too great.    

As for the possibility of him winning, he had never considered it. He had never thought about avoiding the battle. Just as he had said, this was a battle between him and Qin Xuan. No one could replace him.    

"At that time, you were at a low cultivation level, so I only made a slight move and did not use my full strength. I will not hold back this battle. If I can kill you, I will not show any mercy." Xiao Nan said. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with incomparable pride.    

"Young Master is back!" Many geniuses of Earth Matrix were excited. The previous Young Master had revealed his sharpness. After coming to the Divine World, he had restrained his sharpness and appeared very gentle, as if he had changed into a different person.    

At this moment, the familiar Young Master had finally returned.    

The eyes of Reverend Kasyapa and the other experts lit up. Seeing Xiao Nan reveal his sharpness, they were naturally very happy. This was the aura that the Young Master of Earth Matrix should have. Under the heavens, who could compete with him?    

In this battle, the people of the Divine World would witness the elegance of the Young Master of Earth Matrix. He was not inferior to their Divine King, and was even more outstanding than him.    

"I won't hold back either." Qin Xuan said with a serious expression. Although Xiao Nan Li's cultivation was only at the First Calamity Celestial Venerate, his strength was definitely far beyond his own realm. It was very likely that he had reached the Third Calamity level, or else he would not be worthy of being the Earth Matrix King's successor.    

In this battle, he had to go all out.    

"This place is too small. Let's go up and fight." Xiao Nan Li said.    

"I have the same idea." Qin Xuan replied. After saying that, his body shot into the sky like a sword, his aura shocking the heavens, and his pressure boundless space.    

Xiao Nan Li stepped on the sky and moved forward. Every step he took seemed to contain the truth of the Great Dao, causing people to feel that there was reality in the void, and there was reality in the void. It was difficult to see his true figure.    

"peerless evildoer." The Empyrean of Creation praised. Not only did he praise Qin Xuan, but he also praised Xiao Nan Li. Although their standpoints were different, Xiao Nan Li's bearing and strength made him admire him very much. In the entire Divine World, only Qin Xuan could be compared to him.    

In the boundless void, Qin Xuan and Xiao Nan Li stood opposite each other. The two of them did not move, but the space between the two of them shook violently, and then it continuously cracked apart, turning into a vacuum. This scene caused the hearts of countless people to be greatly shaken. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying pressure that space was enduring.    

"I have comprehended many divine techniques over the years, but I have yet to test their power. It just so happens that I can use you to test them." Qin Xuan said. As he spoke, he grabbed forward with his palm, and the space around him instantly turned into a world of stars. Endless starlight gathered into a divine sword that was extremely dazzling, making it difficult for people to look straight at it.    

Xiao Nan also stretched out his hand. At this moment, the void around him transformed into a dark world. One after another, exquisite and enchanting dark lotuses grew out. The lotus heart seemed to contain a great terror power, and it emanated a heart palpitating aura.    

"Hell Demon Lotus." The hearts of the people from the Earth Matrix Heaven trembled, and their faces revealed an incomparably reverent expression, as if they were looking at a divine object.    

There was a legend circulating in the Earth Matrix Heaven. Countless years ago, the Earth Matrix King had successfully achieved the Dao in a demon lotus, and then he used the demon lotus to create a peerless divine object called the Hell Demon Lotus. From then on, the demon lotus became the totem of the Earth Matrix Palace.    

Although they did not know if this legend was true or fake, in the hearts of the people from the Earth Matrix Heaven, the Hell Demon Lotus had an extremely high symbolic meaning. As long as they saw the Hell Demon Lotus, they would think of the Earth Matrix King.    

At this moment, the Hell Demon Lotus was blooming in the hands of the Earth Matrix King's successor. One could imagine how strong the shock in their hearts was.    

Seeing the Demon Lotus continuously growing in the void, Qin Xuan's face did not show much of a fluctuation. This was not the first time he had seen it. Back then, in the Demon Abyss of the Demon Holy Mountain, he had seen a Demon Lotus. Although it was not as powerful as the Demon Lotus in front of him, it was still an item of the Earth Matrix.    

From those demon lotuses, he could feel an extremely dense will of death, but at the same time, he could also feel an extremely strong will of life. These two forces that were born in opposition actually coexisted as one. It could be seen that Xiao Nan Li's control of the Dao of Life and the Dao of Death had reached an extremely deep level.    

"Swoosh swoosh..."    

Countless demonic lotuses expanded wildly, and huge lotus leaves covered the sky dome, directly invading the starry sky world. Terrifying will of death condensed into long spears and attacked Qin Xuan. Wherever the long spears passed, the power of the stars and the power of death collided crazily, wanting to devour each other.    

Qin Xuan held the Divine Sword of Stars in his hand, his expression very calm, as if he did not see the surrounding scene. He waved the divine sword in his hand forward. It looked like an ordinary sword, but when the sword was born, everything in the world seemed to have stopped, and only the elegance of the sword remained.    

The sword light ignored all the distance and directly passed through the countless demonic lotuses. Then, the demonic lotuses dissipated into nothingness, as if they had never appeared. Only the will of death that remained in the space proved their existence.    

The entire process only happened in an instant.    

"What a fast sword!" Countless people were shaken, their eyes wide with shock. That sword attack was too fast. Even if they were fully focused, they still could not see how Qin Xuan broke through all the attacks.    

If Qin Xuan had used this sword attack just now, those experts of Ksitigarbha Heaven would not even know how they died.    

Xiao Nanli stared at Qin Xuan, and then seemed to understand something. He said, "By fusing the Dao of Time into the sword path, he can change the flow of time in the real world. This sword attack is indeed stunning."    

"So it's the Dao of Time."    

Hearing Xiao Nanli's words, many people came to a realization. Qin Xuan had changed the flow of time. It seemed to only be for an instant, but in fact, it was not. That was why the scene of destroying all the Demonic Lotuses with a single sword appeared.    

Then they were shocked that Qin Xuan had actually comprehended the Dao of Time. One had to know that the difficulty of comprehending the Dao of Time was extremely high, let alone fusing it perfectly with other powers. It could be said that it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.    

However, Qin Xuan had done it. Furthermore, his current cultivation was only at the First Calamity Empyrean. His comprehension was simply terrifying.    

"This sword is called Moment of Elegance." Qin Xuan said.    

He had comprehended the Dao of Time through the Stellar Wanxiang Diagram. Later on, he focused on the Dao of Time in his last reincarnation. In his last life, he had perfectly fused the Dao of Time with the Sword Dao. That was the sword attack just now. It could destroy all the techniques in an instant, and its explosive power was extremely powerful.    

"Setsuna Fenghua." Xiao Nanli repeated in a low voice. This name was indeed very fitting. In that instant, there was only One Sword Fenghua.    

"Can this sword be broken?" Qin Xuan asked.    

"Of course it can be broken." Xiao Nanli replied confidently. The Dao of Time was indeed very powerful, and it could change the flow of time. However, it was not invincible. Any Great Dao that was cultivated to the extreme would have terrifying power.    

Xiao Nanli walked forward. With his body as the center, a terrifying Devil Dao storm was born in the surrounding space. The Devil Dao storm expanded at a shocking speed, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an extremely wide area, forming a storm world. The storm power raged through the heavens and earth, shattering everything.    

With a thought, another sword light bloomed. However, the scene from before did not appear.    

The Devil Dao storm only slowed down a little, but it still continued to expand. The sword light tore a crack in the storm, but not long after, the crack closed up again.    

Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a strange light. He naturally saw that the Devil Dao storm contained three kinds of power: Devil Dao, Storm Dao, and Life Dao.    

The Devil Dao was peerlessly domineering, the storm was swift and fierce, and the Life Dao was endless. Xiao Nanli could fuse these three kinds of power together and break through most of the explosive powerful attacks, such as his Moment of Elegance.
