Chapter 555: Chapter 296: One Person, One Sword, Sweeping in All Directions

On the dark gold-colored stage, Dugu Jue stood alone with his saber, looking down with cold eyes at the many Heavenly Prides.

“Fighting one by one will take too long. Whoever wishes to win the championship and become the Celestial Strategy Army Commander, come up all at once,” said Dugu Jue indifferently.

With that sentence, silence fell upon the arena!

Dugu Jue was completely disregarding all Heavenly Prides, challenging them all at once!

Xiahou Ying’s face turned extremely gloomy, thinking what an arrogant fellow.

A fierce look flashed in Ye Xingxuan’s eyes.

Both Xiao Yun and Xiao Qingyu had unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Even the Martial Arts Academy’s Saints—Wuchen, Shen Miaoyi, and Fan Feiyu—had slightly furrowed brows. They thought Dugu Jue was simply too conceited.

So many Heavenly Prides together would be enough to suppress even a powerful peak Golden Core Realm expert.

Perhaps Dugu Jue believed himself to be truly invincible, possessing battle prowess similar to a Celestial Human Venerable.

Dugu Jue glanced at Ye Xingxuan, saying calmly, “Ye Xingxuan, you are the foremost among the young generation of Qing Province and have fought against Wuchen. You are qualified to step onto the stage and battle me.”

He then turned to look at Xiao Yun.

“Xiao Yun, you are the number one Heavenly Pride of the younger generation in Wu Province and should also be qualified.”

“Gao Yingqian and Qin Yi as well, you both are on par with Xiahou Ying—top-tier Heavenly Prides among the younger generation of Central Province. Come up together.”

Finally, Dugu Jue’s gaze fell on Nangong Xue. Coldly, he said, “Nangong Xue, since you have managed to rise above all Heavenly Prides and obtain the first position on the Heavenly Pride Stele, your strength must not be lacking. I have high expectations!”

“In any case, today, I, Dugu Jue, shall fight all of you Heavenly Prides with just my saber.”

Dugu Jue’s voice was chilly as he stood wielding his saber, his robe fluttering and his black hair dancing in the wind.

Upon the stage, he suddenly became the center of attention at the Heavenly Pride Convention.

Countless Heavenly Prides and Golden Core experts were all dumbfounded.

Even the Venerables present wore expressions of astonishment.

They could see that Dugu Jue was merely in the late Golden Core Realm. Among the Heavenly Prides, no one could match him

Even Nangong Xue was only at the middle Golden Core Realm.

However, regardless of whether it was Ye Xingxuan, Xiao Yun, Shen Miaoyi, or Fan Feiyu, they were all at least at the Golden Core Realm, and Heavenly Pride-tier experts, possessing formidable divine abilities and battle prowess.

It could be said that any of these people could easily defeat an ordinary middle Golden Core Realm expert.

Especially Nangong Xue, who possessed the Extreme Yin Physique; even some late Golden Core Realm experts present dared not say for certain that they could defeat her.

But now, Dugu Jue dared to challenge all the Heavenly Prides—alone with just a saber.

“Dugu Jue, you are too arrogant. Let me learn from your prowess!”

With a cold shout, Deng Wuqing stomped the ground, causing it to tremble in all directions.

His body leaped into the air, and the moment he ascended the stage, his long saber was unsheathed. He performed an utterly domineering slash towards Dugu Jue.

A Saber Cultivation expert among the Heavenly Prides and a Martial Academy’s Saint Child, Deng Wuqing’s strength and talent were by no means inferior to anyone present. However, Dugu Jue had not even mentioned him, which made him very disgruntled, and so he launched a powerful attack as soon as he made his move.

Jejune, Dugu Jue’s thoughts moved to release a lonely Saber Intent, black and full of sharpness, emitting a cold brightness.

Saber Qi soared into the sky, sending out an instant burst of heavenly saber light—coming quickly and leaving just as quickly, like a meteor from beyond the heavens.

Clang!

The collision of saber lights set off a roaring sound, the runes above the stage shone brightly, preventing the battle from spreading while the mysterious light seemed to be cut open by a crack.

Swish!

The terrifying, despair-inducing Saber Intent emitted a chilling howl, seeming to leave no room for resistance.

Those present who had passed the Ascension Steps were all Heavenly Prides, with at least Second Level of the Rune Seed Realm. Yet in the face of this scattering Saber Intent, they felt nothing but despair.

“This person’s Saber Intent has reached the realm of Perfection. No wonder he is so powerful,” said a celestial being as they resolved the scattered Saber Intent, their eyes full of intense shock.

“Perfection Saber Intent…”

Everyone’s eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving what they had just heard.

Perfection signified that the Saber Intent had reached its limit, unable to advance any further.

Next would be the legendary ‘Realm,’ a level only spoken of in legends and never reached by anyone.

Even among Celestial Humans, very few could elevate their Saber Intent to the realm of Perfection.

And yet, Dugu Jue had managed to elevate his Saber Intent to Perfection!

What kind of horrifying comprehension ability was this?

Deng Wuqing stood rigidly on the stage, his face silent and his body trembling.

Had it not been for the other’s slight deviation of that strike, he might already have become a corpse.

Even so, his pride and self-confidence had been completely shattered by that previous attack.

“Dugu Jue…” Ye Xingxuan’s face became even more solemn.

Even if he had cultivated his strongest divine ability to the second level, he would not be confident in facing Dugu Jue’s earlier strike.

As for the other Heavenly Prides, they too felt a chill down their spines when they looked at Dugu Jue on the stage.

“Martial Academy’s Saint Children, except for a few, the rest are just like this in my eyes,” said Dugu Jue coldly.

Killing one’s spirit was no clearer than this.

At this moment, Shen Miaoyi and Fan Feiyu both flashed forward, leaping onto the stage, directly attacking Dugu Jue.

They had originally planned to wait and see for a while before making their move.
