Time flowed by, and the battle in Duan Tian Valley drew nearer.
Recently, rumors circulated.
The Seven-Colored Taoist had advanced another small step in the Profound Venerable realm.
This made many people sigh with emotion, truly worthy of being the most supreme Prodigy of the Holy Spirit Ruins.
In contrast, no news about Jun Xiaoyao emerged.
This made many people wonder if Jun Xiaoyao would actually come to the appointment.
Perhaps it was just an impulsive boast.
However, no matter what, as the day of the appointed battle arrived.
Countless Nine Heavens Cultivators also rushed towards Duan Tian Valley.
Duan Tian Valley is a well-known location in the Nine Heavens.
It is a relic left behind by Langu.
Back then, Langu the Great Emperor battled the Holy Spirit Ruins.
Wielding the Luan Gu Axe, he slaughtered several Great Completion Holy Spirits there.
The vast axe glow seemed to cleave the Universe apart.
Forming a terrifying abyss of unfathomable depth.
So, Duan Tian Valley is not a typical valley.
Instead, it is a great Rift Valley of the Void Realm abyss!
It's hard to imagine that such an astonishing geographical feature was created by a single axe strike from Langu the Great Emperor.
And even now, the depths of Duan Tian Valley are still filled with terrifying axe glows and destructive Dao rules.
Therefore, no one can delve deep into Duan Tian Valley.
Over time, this place became a famous location.
It was also an eternal pain for the Holy Spirit Ruins.
The Seven-Colored Taoist choosing this as the battle location clearly had profound meaning.
Jun Xiaoyao is Langu's successor.
If he defeated Jun Xiaoyao here, it would undoubtedly wash away the shame of the Holy Spirit Ruins.
So, this battle held extraordinary significance for him and for the Holy Spirit Ruins.
And at this moment, around Duan Tian Valley, many Nine Heavens Cultivators had already arrived.
People from major Forbidden Families, and even creatures from restricted areas, came.
After all, many people wanted to know.
Whether the Prodigy in the top five of the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings, a true Profound Venerable-level Prodigy, had the ability to suppress Jun Xiaoyao.
Initially, these Nine Heavens creatures didn't think Jun Xiaoyao had a chance to win.
However, after the events in the Reincarnation Sea.
These Nine Heavens creatures suddenly felt uncertain.
"What do you think will happen if Jun Xiaoyao wins again this time?"
"Jun Xiaoyao couldn't possibly sweep through all the Prodigies on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings, could he?"
"No, that's absolutely impossible. How could a Prodigy from an Immortal Domain crush all the Prodigies of my Nine Heavens? What kind of talk is that!"
"Exactly, let's not even mention the Seven-Colored Taoist for now."
"The top two on Chang Sheng Island, who are in the top five of the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings, are absolute taboos."
"Plus the Great Devil King of the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven, and Gourmand King, the leader of the Beast Cave Four Little Kings."
"Additionally, there's Wang Yan, the Young Lord of the Divine Mountain, who is mysterious and has not yet fully displayed his strength."
"No matter how monstrous Jun Xiaoyao is, he can't possibly sweep through all the Prodigies of my Nine Heavens."
Someone retorted, believing it was utterly impossible.
If such a thing truly happened, where would they put their Nine Heavens' face? How could they remain high and mighty?
As time passed, more and more Nine Heavens Cultivators arrived.
And their statuses grew increasingly higher.
"Hiss… the three Young Lords of the Reincarnation Sea are here!"
Someone whispered.
From one direction, the three Young Lords of the Reincarnation Sea arrived simultaneously.
Many gazes around them fell upon the three brothers.
Although they dared not say anything explicitly, the unspoken meaning in their eyes still caused Xuan Mi and the others to wear expressions of deep coldness.
They had now become a great laughingstock of the Nine Heavens.
"Today, we will witness Jun Xiaoyao's defeat!"
They would never be content until they saw Jun Xiaoyao suffer a setback!
Additionally, on the other side, two graceful figures floated through the Void Realm.
One's clothes fluttered, like a Fairy descending to the mortal world.
The other wore a pomegranate-red dress, exuding countless charms.
They were precisely Yun Tianlai and Liu Qiong Yan from the Immortal Mausoleum.
Although they were at odds, they both came to observe the battle.
As for Jiang Luoli, she was in seclusion Cultivating with the help of the Hunyuan Golden Dou, so she did not come.
"Young Master Jun should be fine in this battle, right?" Yun Tianlai murmured to herself.
Liu Qiong Yan, beside her, glanced sideways, a smile playing on her red lips, saying, "It seems Sister Tianlai has also fallen."
"Don't talk nonsense," Yun Tianlai said, flustered.
"Heh… what are you trying to hide? We're all women, we understand. It's just a pity that this fresh young man isn't someone everyone can get," Liu Qiong Yan chuckled.
Yun Tianlai remained silent.
At this moment, another figure arrived from a distance, his form indistinct, dressed in a green robe, appearing somewhat scholarly and refined.
His aura was tranquil, barely emanating any Qi, yet he always gave off a sense of mystery.
"That's… Kun Xuzi of Kunlun Hill! I didn't expect him to come too!"
"Kunlun Hill, that reclusive restricted area? I didn't expect a Prodigy from Kunlun Hill to actually appear."
"That Kun Xuzi is ranked sixth on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings. Although he didn't make it into the top five, his strength is immeasurable."
Many people looked at Kun Xuzi in his green robe with surprise.
Kunlun Hill is a reclusive restricted area, very mysterious.
They had never participated in the Great Purge, and like the Sword Tomb, they were outsiders.
Many people had not expected this appointed battle to attract a Prodigy from Kunlun Hill.
"Kun Xuzi, I didn't expect you to show up too!"
At this moment, on the other side, Devilish Qi surged like an ocean.
A demonic figure emerged from it.
Exuding an arrogant aura of unrivaled dominance, Devilish Qi soared to the heavens.
Like a Devil King born into the world, or a Yama King descending from Hell.
It was none other than the Great Devil King from the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven.
"It's the Great Devil King of the Immortal Demon Grotto Heaven. No, his aura is slightly weaker, so it seems it's a Divided Soul that has come to observe the battle."
"That's the Great Devil King! The third-ranked existence on the Nine Heavens Dragon Phoenix Rankings! I didn't expect him to come for this battle."
Although the Great Devil King Ancient Thousand Demise only sent a Divided Soul to observe the battle, it still caused an uproar in all directions.
And beside Ancient Thousand Demise's Divided Soul was a graceful figure in a green dress, naturally Ji Qingyi.
Kun Xuzi looked at Ancient Thousand Demise and said indifferently, "It seems you are also interested in Jun Xiaoyao."
Ancient Thousand Demise replied, "Daring to kill my attendant, I do indeed want to know how capable that Jun Xiaoyao truly is."
Although Pang Yan was an expendable attendant to Ancient Thousand Demise.
This concerned his reputation, so he naturally had to come and see.
"Qingyi, I heard you are an old acquaintance of that Jun Xiaoyao, and he is from the same place as you?" Ancient Thousand Demise suddenly asked.
"That's right, Young Master Jun and I are both from the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain," Ji Qingyi said indifferently.
"Very well, I hope you don't get too close to that Jun Xiaoyao, and even more so, don't have any relationship with him," Ancient Thousand Demise said with a domineering tone.
Ji Qingyi frowned slightly.
A hint of coldness flashed in the depths of her clear eyes, then she nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, Qingyi knows her limits."
Ancient Thousand Demise nodded slightly.
Ji Qingyi was important to him; she was his forbidden possession, not to be touched by anyone.
Of course, he and Ji Qingyi had no physical contact yet, as Ji Qingyi had been finding excuses to avoid him.
But Ancient Thousand Demise believed that Ji Qingyi would eventually submit to him.
However…
What Ancient Thousand Demise didn't know was.
Aside from Jun Xiaoyao, any man who had cooperated with Ji Qingyi seemed to have met an unfortunate end, eventually being schemed against and killed by Ji Qingyi.
For example, Ji Daoyi.
Just then, in the Universe, a celestial melody suddenly resounded, accompanied by a rain of falling flowers.
A Nine Heavens peerless beauty of special status descended upon the scene, instantly causing a stir in all directions!
