Chapter 366: Chapter 162: Extreme Realm Clash, Panwu True Divine Technique

Fang Xing said nothing, continuing to quietly watch the fight.

The remaining two battles also soon concluded.

The top five contenders were victorious.

Yu Linglong, Meng Tianji, Dongfang Ji, the First True Disciple of the Spirit Treasure Upper Sect, Jiang Biehe, and the First True Disciple of the Celestial Dragon Temple, Shi Bentian!

Each one represented a major Upper Sect.

A few more battles remained to determine the champion from among the five great True Disciples.

The matchups would be determined by a drawing.

One person would receive a bye.

They had one hour to recover.

Soon, the pairings were decided.

The only one to receive a bye was Dongfang Ji.

He had secured a spot in the top three.

After an hour of recovery, the battles began once more.

A bell chimed.

Aside from Dongfang Ji, the four remaining contenders stepped onto the platforms.

The Arrays activated.

Meng Tianji faced off against the First True Disciple of the Celestial Dragon Temple, Shi Bentian.

Yu Linglong went up against the First True Disciple of the Spirit Treasure Upper Sect, Jiang Biehe!

A clash of the Extreme Realm.

They held nothing back, moving without the slightest hesitation.

Every move was an Annihilating strike.

Brilliant lights flared as Divine Techniques clashed.

The two battles erupted.

All eyes in the arena were fixed on these two battles.

The Arrays on the platforms roiled, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

The clash of their Divine Techniques made for a spectacular battle.

Fang Xing was completely engrossed, hardly missing a single detail.

The more powerful the battle, the more it captured his attention.

When facing an even stronger opponent,

even hidden trump cards had to be played.

After all, this was about more than just victory or defeat; it also concerned the resources of the Sects they represented.

Whichever Upper Sect took first place would receive a larger share of the redistributed resources.

This was the true purpose of the Celestial Star Island’s Martial Dao grand tournament.

It was not just a way to display a Sect’s power, but also the mechanism for redistributing resources.

...

"BOOM—!!"

As radiant light flared on platform one, Meng Tianji’s figure vanished as if into thin air.

"Amitabha!"

Shi Bentian chanted the Buddha’s name. A golden Buddhist light erupted from him, shining like a dazzling sun. The light swirled around him, forming the Great Sun Golden Bell to shield him.

A phantom Buddha manifested, like an ancient one descending, releasing its supreme, sacred might.

He pushed his Buddhist Martial Arts to their absolute limit, empowered by Buddhist Divine Techniques.

"CLANG—!!"

Meng Tianji’s figure reappeared without a sound. His palm strike looked deceptively casual, but it was imbued with his Mental Will, a sublimation of his Martial Arts, a state of Returning to the Essence.

The Great Sun Golden Bell shuddered, and cracks began to form across it.

The phantom Buddha quivered.

"Heaven and Earth Demon-Quelling!"

With a push of his palm, Meng Tianji instantly activated his Ultimate Skill, gathering all the power in his body and drawing in the Power of Heaven and Earth to fuse with it.

"The Heaven and Earth Rank!"

Shi Bentian’s pupils constricted. He pushed the Buddhist light around him to its absolute limit, and the cracked Great Sun Golden Bell was restored to its peak condition.

The Power of Heaven and Earth mobilized, manifesting as a great seal.

BOOM—!!

The seal slammed down ferociously.

The phantom Buddha shattered, and the Great Sun Golden Bell was annihilated in its wake.

"Puh..."

With his Divine Technique shattered, Shi Bentian was sent flying. He coughed up a mouthful of blood as he slammed violently into the Array Barrier.

The Buddhist light around him dimmed, and his aura plummeted.

A torrent of Primordial Qi surged, coalescing into a fist imbued with Mental Will that flew toward him from across the platform.

It was the blow that sealed his defeat.

Victory and defeat were decided in an instant.

Though they were evenly matched, that one strike secured Meng Tianji’s victory.

’So he’s revealed it...’

’Looks like that bald monk from the Buddhist Sect forced him to use his finishing move early. He’s no simple character, either.’

Fang Xing thought to himself.

In a contest like this, forcing an opponent to reveal their trump card was an honor, even in defeat.

Fang Xing turned to the final battle, where Jiang Biehe of the Spirit Treasure Upper Sect was ultimately defeated by Yu Linglong.

A tidal wave of applause swept through the arena.

The spectacular battles left the audience enthralled.

The top three had been decided.

However, the final rankings still had to be determined by the upcoming fights.

However, what nobody expected was that when the next matchups were announced, Dongfang Ji took the initiative to concede.

His opponent was Meng Tianji, and he was simply forfeiting the match.

Although the situation was unusual, it was still within the rules, and the representative from Dongfang Ji’s Supreme Profound Upper Sect didn’t seem displeased.

They were quite satisfied with him securing a spot in the top three.

With Dongfang Ji’s forfeit, there was no doubt that the final first and second places would be decided between Yu Linglong and Meng Tianji.

It would be the final battle.

’Just forfeiting like that... That’s pretty decisive.’ Fang Xing thought, looking toward Dongfang Ji, who was sitting nonchalantly in the honored guest seating.

It was a truly unexpected move.

However, it didn’t really change anything.

It just meant there would be one less spectacular battle.

The true final showdown was about to officially begin.

The rest period passed in the blink of an eye.

Yu Linglong and Meng Tianji stepped onto platform one simultaneously.

The final battle.

It also represented the grand finale of the entire Martial Dao tournament.

"I have one attack. If you can withstand it, I will concede," Yu Linglong said.

Her voice passed through the Array, echoing throughout the arena.

Her words immediately caused a considerable stir.

"Agreed. And if I cannot withstand it, I will be the one to concede," Meng Tianji replied with a smile, his expression just as composed.

’So they’re going to decide it with a single, ultimate attack...’

Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.

At their level, even with Meng Tianji’s advantage in the realm of the Primordial Spirit, a drawn-out battle would be grueling.

Deciding the match with a single, definitive, ultimate attack was far more direct.

It was clean and decisive!

This wasn’t at all unusual.

After all, in a fight between such evenly matched opponents, it was easier to settle things with a single, decisive blow.

If it were him in their place, he would have accepted as well.

If you couldn’t defeat your opponent with your ultimate move, there was no chance of winning at all.

On the platform, the auras of both combatants began to rise simultaneously.

Immense True Essence surged from them, stirring the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Even the Array enveloping the platform couldn’t contain the violent surge of Primordial Qi.
