Chapter 925: Newly Achieved Nascent Soul, Rightfully Number One

Both Du Xianming and Lu Yuezhang displayed looks of surprise as they listened to Chu Ning speak.

The astonishment was not solely due to Chu Ning’s words, but rather because under Du Xianming’s oppressive aura, Chu Ning remained composed and unaffected.

The reason Nascent Soul Cultivators are distinct from Golden Core Cultivators is not just due to more potent magical power and having a Nascent Soul, Samadhi True Flame, and other divine techniques.

The pressure exerted by Divine Sense is entirely on a different level.

Even a Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivator like Jiang Cheng, despite having strong Divine Sense.

Facing the Divine Sense pressure from a Nascent Soul Cultivator is no easy task.

Yet now, both of them could see that Tang Xuan was not intervening to help.

Chu Ning could speak calmly under Du Xianming’s Divine Sense pressure of a Peak Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

This surprised both Nascent Soul Cultivators greatly.

Chu Ning, however, ignored their astonished expressions and continued speaking:

“Your Daluo Sect and my Jiuhua Sect have disputes, but who is right or wrong should be clear to those aware of past events. As a Nascent Soul Senior, targeting me directly, let’s put sect grievances aside. The person I brought along is my Dao companion and also an elder within the sect, what fault is there in that? As for your claim that recruiting a Golden Core Cultivator for the competition is baseless.”

Chu Ning sneered at this moment.

“Indeed, our sect has added a few Daoists as elders, but when have you seen us arrange them for the competition? If any sect did such a thing, do you really think the cultivators from other sects within the alliance are as easily defeated as those of your Daluo Sect? In the end, it’s just your Daluo Sect’s failure to obtain the qualification and feeling jealous. Isn’t that shameless?”

“Such eloquence!” Du Xianming, repeatedly ridiculed by Chu Ning, displayed even more fury in his gaze.

The pressure of his Divine Sense was unleashed to its maximum, bearing down on Chu Ning like a massive mountain.

Yet, Chu Ning remained seemingly unaffected, calmly saying:

“If your Daluo Sect has any Golden Core Cultivator who is dissatisfied, I am standing here, and they are welcome to challenge me. If I lose, I will give this qualification to your Daluo Sect cultivators, so what of it. But, do you dare?”

As these words came out, there was an uproar in the venue, but now all eyes were not on Chu Ning but on Du Xianming and the Daluo Sect’s observation platform.

“Chu, don’t be arrogant!”

“Arrogant, I will meet you!”

“Chu, do you truly believe there’s no one in Daluo Sect?”

The faces of the three Golden Core Cultivators from the Daluo Sect, being watched by everyone, displayed a sense of indignation, and they shouted out.

Simultaneously, they flew out, directly heading toward the high platform.

Chu Ning calmly glanced at the three of them, yet didn’t show a single trace of disdain.

He simply looked steadily at Du Xianming.

“Does the Daluo Sect want to compete?”

Upon hearing this, Du Xianming’s mouth twitched slightly.

Having witnessed Chu Ning’s previous clash with Jiang Cheng, and now seeing Chu Ning completely unaffected by his strongest pressure.

Du Xianming was fully aware that no Golden Core Cultivators in his sect could be Chu Ning’s match.

He never anticipated that merely intending to create some trouble for Jiuhua Sect would put him in such an awkward situation.

Now, facing so many cultivators of the Cloud Peak Alliance, he already found it difficult to maintain composure.

“Fine! Fine!” Du Xianming, enraged, laughed loudly.

The next moment, his figure disappeared as if ghostly and arrived directly three zhang in front of Chu Ning.

At the same time, a cold voice rang out throughout the venue.

“A Golden Core Cultivator dares to speak to a Nascent Soul Senior like this. Today, I will teach you a lesson!”

“Hold on!” Seeing Du Xianming’s actions, Lu Yuezhang’s expression changed, immediately voicing his objection.

Simultaneously, he flashed forward.

The faces of other cultivators within the venue showed surprise, evidently not expecting Du Xianming, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, to become so angry as to attack a junior like Chu Ning.

Yet even more surprising to everyone was that Tang Xuan, the closest to Chu Ning, made no move.

Looking as if unable to react in time.

Amidst everyone’s confusion, they saw a giant sword suddenly appear in front of Chu Ning.

Its five-colored brilliance flashing, its power far surpassing that of the previous Fire Spirit Sword.

Just as Du Xianming approached and reached out to strike Chu Ning, the giant sword slashed downward, aimed at Du Xianming.

Du Xianming naturally noticed Chu Ning directing the giant sword.

He couldn’t believe that Chu Ning reacted so quickly, and his first response was not to dodge but to directly attack.

This made Du Xianming both shocked and furious!

Of course, Du Xianming couldn’t retreat due to Chu Ning’s sword — doing so would blemish his reputation as a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

However, it was already too late to directly summon a magical treasure.

He immediately snorted coldly, and the hand intended to strike Chu Ning conjured into a giant hand, reaching for the giant sword in mid-air.

Seeing this stance, he seemed intent on forcefully seizing Chu Ning’s giant sword.

But, if Du Xianming had really reached the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, he might have been able to suppress Chu Ning.

Even at the Peak of Early Stage Nascent Soul, with Chu Ning’s strong Divine Sense and abundant magical power.

Trying to seize Chu Ning’s Lifebound Magical Treasure casually was not so easy.

The giant sword collided with Du Xianming’s conjured palm, subsequently flashing with intense five-colored brilliance.
