"This person is not simple; I'm afraid their strength is far beyond this. It's quite a good idea to still be honing their Sword Technique, merging Sword Momentum and Artistic Conception." Xiao Cangjian, who had been silent, showed a hint of surprise. It seemed he was also astonished by Ren Pingsheng's Sword Momentum and its refinement.
It should be noted that Ren Pingsheng's Sword Momentum underwent countless refinements during its comprehension process. Whether in the Ancient Lan Divine Art Heritage space, the Sword King Tomb, or within the Magic Crystal, it was broken down and reformed thousands of times.
Therefore, his understanding and application of Sword Momentum were inherently more adept than others, resulting in greater power. He could unleash the full potential of Sword Momentum without any waste.
The two stood facing each other on the platform. Ren Pingsheng appeared calm and unblemished, while Feng Buping looked somewhat pale. Although he had blocked most of the attack during their earlier clash, some Sword Momentum still penetrated his body. The sharpness of the Sword Momentum caused him considerable internal injuries.
"Very well, I admit defeat this time," he said with a somewhat grim expression, not intending to continue the match. Having sustained some light injuries, continuing might lead to more serious harm.
"The Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign? Let me, Blazing Sword Sovereign Zuo Quan, have a taste. We are not from the Southern Region; perhaps our duel will become a tale worth telling. You shouldn't mind, right?" A man appeared on the Dueling Platform. He had an elongated face and a somewhat cunning glint in his eyes.
"Of course not. However, if you think there's an opportunity here, you will surely be disappointed," Ren Pingsheng replied with a light smile. This person gave him an uneasy feeling; perhaps he thought Ren Pingsheng had sustained some injuries during his duel and was trying to take advantage of that.
"Haha, naturally not. Please enlighten me," Zuo Quan said with a flicker in his eyes but maintained a smile. The moment he drew his sword, the entire Dueling Platform was engulfed in a Fire Sea. It was indeed a fully realized Fire Realm, though it felt like it was only barely so.
"Blazing Fire!" he shouted lightly, attacking without any courtesy. The entire Fire Sea surged as a Fire Dragon flew forth with claws bared.
"The power is too weak," Ren Pingsheng murmured softly. He recalled encountering an Elder from One-Pin Hall who possessed Zong-Level Cultivation; that person's Sword Technique composed of fire and earth Artistic Conceptions was truly formidable.
"Wind and Cloud One Sword!" With a flash of his sword, the entire Dueling Platform was enveloped in Cloud Mist, with countless Wind Blades shimmering around. Then came the sound of explosions and Zuo Quan's furious roar. He unleashed only about thirty-five percent of the combined Artistic Conception's power, yet it was still significantly stronger than seventy percent of a single Artistic Conception.
It wasn't just him who was surprised; most of the geniuses were taken aback as well. They immediately recognized that this was clearly a fusion Sword Technique of two Artistic Conceptions; however, they couldn't discern its depth. Still, they could tell that its power exceeded that of a fully realized Artistic Conception.
"Indeed, he's quite the hidden talent; he has already comprehended the fusion of Artistic Conceptions," Xiao Cangjian's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the Dueling Platform. Not only him but also the top three on the Ranking looked astonished and eager. They had all comprehended it to varying degrees and perhaps hoped to find some opportunity from Ren Pingsheng's strike to advance further themselves.
"Ah..." After a few breaths, as the Cloud Mist dissipated, a figure flew out awkwardly, having sustained significant injuries. It was Zuo Quan; he had initially hoped to use this opportunity to make a name for himself but found himself completely outmatched by Ren Pingsheng and defeated in one move.
In truth, it wasn't entirely his fault; against this move, aside from those in the top three on the Ranking, very few could withstand it. The fusion of two Artistic Conceptions greatly increased its power—doubling it compared to before. If three Artistic Conceptions were fused together, it would triple the power—and so on. Although more fusions resulted in greater power, they also became increasingly difficult to achieve.
Once the Cloud Mist cleared away, the figure clad in green on the Dueling Platform appeared somewhat dazzling. Many geniuses recognized that this was also a terrifying individual with unfathomable strength.
"Continue!" Ren Pingsheng said softly. Then his figure suddenly appeared back in his seat, quietly closing his eyes to meditate. In fact, after watching the Duel of the Furious Wind Martial Sovereign, he had been comprehending the Wind Realm, and the mastery of the Wind Realm had given him some insights.
However, the provocation from the Sword Sovereign of the Cracking Earth could not be ignored, so he had no choice but to respond. Now that he had proven his strength, there should be no one bothering him, allowing him to continue his comprehension of the Wind Realm. He was already close to mastering the Wind Realm; he just needed a slight opportunity to break through.
"Haha, the Wind and Cloud Sword Sovereign is quite impressive. I hope we have a chance to spar in the future," a man dressed in black appeared on the Dueling Platform, saying with admiration. His expression then shifted, "Alright, Xiao Cangjian, I'm here for you today. Are you not coming over?"
"Demon Prince, you are not my opponent; why bother competing again?" Xiao Cangjian replied calmly, his tone filled with confidence.
"Hmph, are you afraid? In this year’s time, I will make you realize that there is no longer any gap between us. Of course, if you are willing to admit defeat, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come," the Demon Prince said arrogantly.
"Since you want to fight, then come on. I want to see how your strength compares to a year ago," Xiao Cangjian sighed lightly and gracefully rose, appearing like the wind on the Dueling Platform.
"Is it a mastery of the Wind Realm?" Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and spoke softly. He felt that he was just one step away from breaking through in the Wind Realm; perhaps the opportunity for that breakthrough lay within this Match.
"Haha, receive my True Demon Sword—first strike!" The Demon Prince laughed excitedly as Demonic Energy surged around him. With a single sword strike, it was as if dark clouds were covering the sun. The geniuses watching the Duel felt their hearts racing as if they were trapped in an illusion, quickly closing their eyes to focus themselves.
"Is that really the True Demon Sword technique? It seems this person has a deep connection with the True Demon Emperor," the Demon Emperor remarked.
"True Demon Emperor? Emperor-Level Experts are all top-tier existences; indeed, he has a profound background!" Ren Pingsheng said while observing the Battle on the Dueling Platform. While others might be wary of Demonic Energy, it had no effect on him whatsoever. Not to mention any feelings of restlessness or being trapped in an illusion.
"What a terrifying Wind Realm; Xiao Cangjian's understanding of Artistic Conception is likely the best among everyone." He pondered deeply. Looking at Xiao Cangjian on stage, it seemed as if he had transformed into a Wind Dragon, wielding his sword and stirring up boundless winds and clouds with unmatched might. Even the Demon Prince found himself at a disadvantage.
"This child has already mastered the use of Artistic Conception to an extraordinary level; he can even transform using it. Truly frightening!" The Demon Emperor said in astonishment.
"Yes, thanks to him, my understanding of the Wind Realm is nearly complete; mastery is within reach."
"Boom..." A loud sound erupted from the Dueling Platform as the Demon Prince staggered and appeared at its edge. His expression was somewhat grim; he had been at a disadvantage throughout.
"Very well, taste my recently comprehended fourth sword of True Demon!" He steadied himself and slashed out with his sword. This strike was indescribable; it seemed incredibly fast yet was clearly visible. A crack appeared in the Void itself—its power was evident. No one had been able to achieve such a feat before.
"Wind Cutting!" Xiao Cangjian's expression turned serious as he drew his sword in hand as a Wind Dragon and struck downwards. Countless Wind Realms converged into a green Sword Qi; with its fluctuations, cracks appeared in the surrounding Void as it carved long marks through it before colliding with the black Sword Qi.
"Boom..." First, there was boundless silence, then the entire Void collapsed into a black hole, but fortunately, it disappeared in a flash. The entire shaking inner space returned to calm. The Dueling Platform was scarred and dilapidated. Even with the protection of formations, it had been shattered.
Ren Pingsheng's eyes were fixed tightly on the sword strike made by Xiao Cangjian, feeling a tremor in his heart. The speed and destructiveness of the wind were evident in that strike. The terrifying cutting force seemed capable of severing anything, unstoppable.
"My understanding of the wind is still insufficient; I haven't fully unleashed the power of the Wind Realm. Whether in speed or destructive force," he pondered continuously, deeply imprinting that strike in his mind. His understanding of the wind grew deeper, and through mutual verification, his Wind Realm, which had been stuck at sixty-nine percent, began to advance slowly.
"Bang..." Ren Pingsheng felt a jolt throughout his body; the Sword Qi in his mind had dissipated. Then he sensed that the Wind Realm had undergone a transformation, becoming deeper and more agile than before.
At this moment, he realized that the Wind Realm had reached great mastery; he had finally crossed the last hurdle. Azure Wind danced around him, his long hair flying, and he exuded an even more ethereal and carefree aura.
"Indeed an extraordinary fellow; he broke through under such circumstances." Phoenix Luan, sitting in the back, turned her gaze to Ren Pingsheng with surprise on her face as she spoke to herself. Other geniuses were shocked by the duel between the two on the Dueling Platform, but she had been paying attention to everyone, so she noticed Ren Pingsheng's breakthrough immediately.
At this moment on the Dueling Platform, after the roaring sound faded away, the two engaged in battle once more. Illusions were heavy, and figures flickered. The black Demonic Energy and white True Qi collided continuously, creating sparks.
"Forget it; I'm not continuing." The Demon Prince suddenly withdrew, his face somewhat grim as he spoke. His most powerful Sword Technique could not overcome his opponent. However, he knew that his adversary still had a powerful Sword Technique left unused; continuing would only lead to defeat.
Thus, this duel ended without a clear result. However, many geniuses understood in their hearts that the Demon Prince knew he was no match for Xiao Cangjian and thus chose not to continue battling.
Afterward, no one else stepped onto the stage; they sat quietly, some with closed eyes in contemplation and others whispering softly. It seemed that many had gained significantly from this duel.
Of course, those like Ren Pingsheng who broke through on the spot were rare. It could only be said that Ren Pingsheng's accumulation was profound and his comprehension astonishing for him to achieve a breakthrough right then and there.
