CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 871: XU AO

"Yes!"

"Of course!"

...

The crowd echoed.

Ling Chen’s glorious achievements they had not seen in person.

Now with the opportunity to witness them firsthand, they naturally didn’t want to miss it.

In everyone’s eyes, there was a hint of excitement.

After all, there is quite a gap between a quasi-Emperor and an Emperor.

Although Ling Chen possessed a first-class Green Lotus Bloodline, to just manage a close contest is already commendable.

Who could have imagined that Ling Chen actually slain a one-star Emperor?

Even Li Xuankong, known as the first prodigy of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, couldn’t accomplish this.

"Has it come?"

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, then humbly said: "You all overpraise me. The reason I was able to defeat a one-star Emperor was mainly due to luck, nothing worth mentioning!"

"Young Master Ling is too modest!"

"Indeed, Young Master Ling, give us a chance to witness your prowess!"

...

The crowd spoke one after another.

Seeing this, a young man glanced at Li Xuankong, received a nod from the latter then rose, cupping his hands toward Ling Chen, said: "Young Master Ling, I am Xu Ao, an owner of second-class bloodline. Some days ago, I just stepped into the two-star Emperor level. Could Young Master Ling kindly give me some guidance?"

In the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, people like Ling Chen from outside families are rare but still exist.

But as long as one possesses the Green Lotus Bloodline, they are considered part of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

This is the regulation left by ancestors.

Only in this way can the lineage of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan be ensured to continue for a long time.

However, people from outside families naturally receive exclusion from the Li surname clan members within the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.

Although this isn’t fair.

But in this world, often fairness is nonexistent.

For instance, many are born with the Sacred Body.

While more people only possess the Spiritual Body, or even without a Spiritual Body.

Who can argue with this?

To fare better within the clan, he voluntarily sought Li Xuankong, to challenge Ling Chen.

He is a two-star Emperor.

Possessing a second-class bloodline.

And Ling Chen just advanced to one-star Emperor, absolutely impossible to be his opponent.

Moreover, he mastered the Emperor Spirit Technique.

"Young Master Xu, you are too modest. You are two-star Emperor, how could I possibly be your opponent?"

Ling Chen smiled.

Li Xuankong laughed and said: "Young Master Ling need not be humble. The gap between quasi-Emperor and Emperor is much larger than the gap between one-star and two-star Emperor. Young Master Ling, since you could defeat an Emperor with quasi-Emperor cultivation, maybe you can defeat Xu Ao now that you’ve ascended to one-star Emperor!"

"Young Master Ling, rest assured, we’re just sparring. There will be absolutely no danger to life!"

"Moreover, this is the tradition of our Green Lotus Ancient Clan. As descendants of ancient clans, we are naturally expected to follow it."

Ling Chen thought for a moment, nodded to Xu Ao, saying: "Since that’s the case, please, Young Master Xu, give your guidance."

Li Xuankong even used clan rules and traditions to press him.

He could not retreat!

If he were alone, it would be of no consequence.

But his mother is here.

If he doesn’t fight, after leaving, his mother might suffer humiliation.

Upon hearing this, the crowd rejoiced.

They also want to witness Ling Chen’s true power!

"Then let’s begin!"

Li Xuankong nodded.

"Okay!"

Ling Chen and Xu Ao agreed.

Then the two soared into the sky, standing opposite each other above the nine heavens.

Li Xuankong and others followed suit.

Watching Ling Chen from afar, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Xuankong’s mouth.

This battle, Ling Chen will surely lose!

He is clear about Xu Ao’s strength.

Although he hasn’t cultivated the seventh style of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, he has mastered a lower-grade Emperor Spirit Technique.

The seventh style of the Green Lotus Sword Manual is slightly stronger than ordinary lower-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques.

It falls between lower-grade and middle-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques.

The difficulty of cultivation is extremely high.

Not inferior to ordinary middle-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques.

However, for the prodigies of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan, cultivating lower-grade Emperor Spirit Techniques is not too challenging.

Just requires some time.

Xu Ao has already upgraded to two-star Emperor, so naturally, he cultivated successfully long ago.

Moreover, at the Emperor Realm level, the power of the Green Lotus Bloodline can be unleashed without the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

"Young Master Ling, be careful!"

Xu Ao’s expression turned cold and he quickly entered battle mode.

His right hand slowly formed a grip, and a silver longsword emerged.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... "

Strands of green Sword Qi shot out from the silver longsword, filling up dozens of meters of space before him.

"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"

Xu Ao guided his longsword, rapidly converging the green Sword Qi.

"Roar!"

A blue giant dragon quickly formed, raising a long howl that shook the void.

Though it’s only an Emperor Spirit Technique.

But in Xu Ao’s hands, a two-star Emperor, its power is quite terrifying.

He hasn’t even utilized the Green Lotus Bloodline.

Just two-tenths of Heaven and Earth Power is enough for the dragon to evolve into a great terror!

The blue giant dragon charged with earth-shattering power toward Ling Chen.

Many people showed shock in their eyes.

Most prodigies remained at one or two levels of the Heavenly Passage Realm.

This kind of attack demands prudence from them.

"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"

Ling Chen hesitated not, unleashing green and red Green Lotus Sword Qi, which, through the lower-grade Emperor Spirit Weapon in his hand, likewise formed an apocalyptic giant dragon.

He directly invoked the Green Lotus Bloodline.

He controlled only one-tenth of Heaven and Earth Power, naturally couldn’t compete against two-tenths.

"Boom!"

The two giant dragons ferociously collided, followed by a fierce struggle, the resulting space instantly shattered, revealing massive void holes.

In the end, both vanished.

"Deserving of a first-class Green Lotus Bloodline!"

Xu Ao nodded lightly.

This scene he had anticipated.

The first-class Green Lotus Bloodline easily compensated for the one-tenth Heaven and Earth Power difference between them.

"Is this the Green Lotus Bloodline?"

Ling Chen’s eyes also revealed surprise.

He hadn’t expected the Green Lotus Bloodline to be so formidable.

It even erased a one-tenth Heaven and Earth Power gap!

Originally, he planned to use the Void Concealment Technique to hide within the void to evade attacks!

No wonder the Green Lotus Clan’s fame spans across the nine regions!

This bloodline is simply terrifying!

"Truly a first-class bloodline!"

The eyes of the crowd, as they looked at Ling Chen, burned with intense interest.

"Young Master Ling, you are quite impressive. But next, be even more cautious, I will also use the Green Lotus Bloodline!"

Xu Ao said.

Earlier was just probing Ling Chen’s strength.

He hasn’t exerted his true power yet!

"Green Lotus Dragon Transformation!"

Xu Ao shouted and again employed the sixth style of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Only this time, there’s not only the support of two-tenths Heaven and Earth Power but also the Green Lotus Bloodline.

Compared to what Ling Chen formed previously, the red was slightly fainter.

However, its power was unmatched by Ling Chen’s previous attack.

Watching the blue-red dragon hovering above Xu Ao’s head, Ling Chen flipped his palm and the Mystic Sword emerged.

Facing such an attack, Ling Chen dared not have the slightest negligence!

Only by using the Mystic Sword can he possibly withstand it!

"Boom!"

Ling Chen’s body shook, and green-red Sword Qi burst forth from him.

This time the Green Lotus Sword Qi was fused with Ling Chen’s twelve-star Emperor-level Spiritual Power and upper-grade Emperor Realm Divine Soul Telekinesis.

Just this fused Spiritual Power was enough to rival thirteen-star Emperor!

If there were thirteen-star Emperor in this world.

At any rate, far surpassing the Emperor’s limit.

The green-red Sword Qi passed through the Mystic Sword, increasing its power.

Ultimately, it formed another blue-red giant dragon.

At this moment, Ling Chen unleashed all his abilities.

"Go!"

Xu Ao shouted.

His blue-red dragon charged toward Ling Chen.

Ling Chen took his rightful place.

The blue-red dragon also charged toward the opponent.
