Chapter 125: Complete Defeat

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Beixuan glared at Shen Ran, his heart almost hysterical.

It’s you again!! Shen Ran! How can you be so strong?! Chen Beixuan widened his eyes in anger. In my previous life, there was no such genius like you!

You stole my opportunities time and time again and ruined my plans! Chen Beixuan gritted his teeth in hatred. If it weren’t for you, I would be the Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect. I would be the first and most glorious prodigy!

Chen Beixuan already hated Shen Ran to the core. His expression changed again and again, and was extremely ugly.

However, he was helpless against Shen Ran and could only keep his hatred in his heart.

!!

On this side, Gu Shuyu was also shocked. He could not believe what had happened.

The Blood Demon was actually purified?!

This was a departed spirit that had refined countless resentful souls for hundreds of thousands of years!!

He was actually purified by Shen Ran so easily!

Gu Shuyu immediately felt thoroughly embarrassed, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

As the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, his cultivation level was clearly above Shen Ran’s.

But now, the disparity in strength between the two of them was so great and he had no power to fight back. Moreover, this happened in the presence of so many cultivators.

At this moment, Gu Shuyu realized that he had been deceived by Shen Ran!

This person was unfathomable. He was deliberately pretending to be weak while waiting for an opportunity to attack the opponent!

Gu Shuyu’s eyes flashed with blood, and he secretly sent a voice transmission to Zhou Ziran and the others.

“You’re still watching? Don’t you want the Heavenly Flame that was on him?”

“Why don’t we join forces to snatch the Heavenly Flame from him?”

Zhou Ziran, Lei Qianren, Xu Liangfeng, and Zhao Shiqiu looked at each other with different expressions.

They already knew that this Heavenly Flame could not be refined and did not want to interfere in the battle between the two of them.

After all, Shen Ran’s strength was displayed before everyone and this made them even more afraid.

Hence, the geniuses did not give Gu Shuyu any response.

They had seen with their own eyes that Gu Shuyu, who was at the seventh level of the Illumination Realm, had used a few forbidden techniques and a king-level Dharma treasure but had been defeated by Shen Ran. They did not have much respect for him.

Gu Shuyu was extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth in hatred towards Shen Ran and naturally refused to let him off easily.

However, when Gu Shuyu looked back, he realized that no one had stood up.

His eyes immediately turned cold.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziran smiled and prepared to be the peacemaker.

“Shen Ran, you have the Heavenly Flame. Now that you have destroyed the king-level Dharma treasure of the Heavenly Demon Sect, this matter is considered even. Why don’t we each take a step back?” Zhou Ziran’s eyes flashed.

In this way, he was neutral.

He would not offend Gu Shuyu or Shen Ran.

Judging from Shen Ran’s strength, they might meet again in the future.

However, Shen Ran ignored Zhou Ziran’s words.

There was no response.

Shen Ran did not even look up at him. He kept staring at Gu Shuyu.

This time, he had to thank Gu Shuyu.

If not for the fact that he had stimulated his understanding of the Netherworld Enlightenment, he would not have known that his combat strength was so ferocious.

Unfortunately, his current realm had yet to increase. Otherwise, the power of the Netherworld Enlightenment would not only purify a mere king-level Dharma treasure!

Shen Ran was overjoyed and ignored the shock and horror of the people present.

Seeing that Shen Ran did not speak, Zhou Ziran felt a little awkward. He braced himself and continued to say good things. “Shen Ran, I’m afraid there won’t be an outcome if this continues. Friends are often made after a fight. Why don’t we just let it go?”

Shen Ran still did not look up at Zhou Ziran, nor did he react.

This was the first time Zhou Ziran had been ignored like this, and he was instantly furious.

However, he had seen Shen Ran’s strength with his own eyes and did not dare to do anything. He could only forcefully suppress his anger and feel extremely aggrieved.

As for Gu Shuyu, her expression was extremely cold.

Seeing that he could not hurt Shen Ran, and none of the geniuses rendered help, he snorted and led the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators out.

However, Gu Shuyu would not let this go.

He had never been humiliated like this before. He had to get it back a thousand times over.

After stepping out of the palace, Gu Shuyu’s killing intent towards Shen Ran was extremely strong.

Next, he would immediately think deeply on how to get rid of Shen Ran.

“Shen Ran, I’ll remember this enmity.” Gu Shuyu’s eyes flickered coldly.

Soon, he remembered that Shen Ran was a Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

“The Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect must be fighting each other.” Gu Shuyu had already thought of an excellent plan.

Since he could not do anything to Shen Ran for the time being, he might as well make use of the others.

Meng Ling, Ji Qinglin, these two are not bad. Gu Shuyu’s lips curled up slightly.

The enemy of his enemy was his friend.

Thinking of this, Gu Shuyu’s mood improved a little.

Shen Ran, I’ll let you jump around for a while longer. Gu Shuyu sneered in his heart.

He quickly left this mystic realm with his men.

In the palace, as Gu Shuyu left, most of the cultivators present also left one by one.

Chen Beixuan stood at the side, his eyes almost bloodshot as he glared at Shen Ran.

“Shen Ran, we’ll see!” Chen Beixuan cursed in his heart, unwilling to stay any longer.

Xiao Han clenched his fists. He was shrouded in darkness.

He never expected this to happen in the end.

Not only did he not obtain the Heavenly Fire, but he also did not see Shen Ran being killed to vent his anger!

Elder Yan sighed and couldn’t help but comfort him. “Although you didn’t obtain the Fire Phoenix True Flame, you can still go to the East Sea Academy.”

“There is the Heavenly Flame of a good friend of mine there. You can obtain it.”

Xiao Han’s expression improved slightly before he nodded and left.

As for the other geniuses, their expressions were extremely complicated.

Zhou Ziran was furious that Shen Ran had ignored him in front of so many people.

His wish of getting to know Shen Ran was dashed so his mood was instantly ruined and he was filled with hatred.

“Do you think you’re powerful just because you defeated Gu Shuyu? You’re just at the fifth level of the Illumination Realm. You’re too smug.” Zhou Ziran muttered a few words and left with an ugly expression.

Xu Liangfeng glanced in Shen Ran’s direction and felt that this person was unfathomable. It was better not to provoke him.

Zhao Shiqiu was also afraid of Shen Ran and did not stay any longer.

Some of the other cultivators lowered their heads and discussed among themselves as they left.

“I didn’t expect that the final victor would be His Highness Shen… He’s indeed extraordinary… After leaving the mystic realm this time, His Highness Shen will definitely be famous in the Southern Region.”

“That’s not all. Shen Highness purified the king-level Dharma treasure of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He must have completely feuded with the Heavenly Demon Sect and suppressed them. He’s awe-inspiring!”

“Did you see clearly how many spells Shen Highness used just now??”

“That sword’s intent makes me tremble in fear. And the Azure Dragon Transformation. Tsk tsk tsk…”

“…”

Everyone described the situation of Shen Ran fighting Gu Shuyu again and again, as if they had not had enough.

Their conversations were filled with all kinds of exclamations.
