Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 178

When the huge spiritual sword in Yan Chutian's eyes appeared again, the crowd could not help but breath when they saw these familiar spirit runes. Who would have thought that a level one Elixir Realm cultivator could unexpectedly condense spirit runes? Moreover, the terrifying power contained within spirit runes was not inferior to any Holy Son in the Northern and Southern Region!

This was beyond the imagination of many, and this was also a situation that had never been seen in the entire Tianji Sect.

However, no matter how legendary it was, the disciples of the Northern Region were eager to see the end of this legend. Otherwise, if it continued, wouldn't that mean that the other Holy Sons of the Northern Region had failed? If so, the Northern Region would indeed be oppressed by the Southern Region.

Overall, when two spirit runes appeared, it was followed by a ferocious collision. The heavy sword and the blood dragon collided violently, triggering a huge surge of energy.

The explosion! The explosion!

Under the effect of the turbulent energy, the robes of the two owners of the spirit runes fluttered. They stared straight at the collision. The great spiritual sword and the blood dragon had turned into two pillars of light that continued to collide. Each time it collided, it would trigger a turbulent wave of power, which was truly shocking.

In this situation, it was obvious that the clash of the first spirit runes seemed to be on par with the other runes. This situation made Shilong secretly grit his teeth. Without a real fight, he could not imagine that the first spirit rune condensed by this First Level Elixir Realm disciple in front of him would be so powerful.

It seemed like he could only use the second spirit rune to compete …

However, just as Shilong was about to deactivate the blood dragon and use an even more powerful second spirit rune, the blood dragon and the great sword collided again and actually pushed the sword backwards. Looking up, the huge sword showed signs of collapsing.

This sudden situation confused many people, especially the disciples from the Southern Region. After all, the situation was clearly on par with the others. How could it be reversed in the blink of an eye?

Qiu Yu's beautiful eyes suddenly stiffened. Looking at Yan Chutian's current state, how could he not know that the breakthrough opportunity Yan Chutian had created had suddenly appeared at this moment?

If it happened before the fight, it would be great. However, now that the two of them were fighting fiercely, the chance of a sudden breakthrough was not an opportunity at all, but rather a fatal crisis!

A lot of people can see this. Although it was not as fast as Qiu Yu, the elders, the Holy Sons of the Northern and Southern Regions, and the disciples immediately saw the reason behind it.

"Haha ... The Southern Region's Holy Son was ridiculous. Now, the opportunity he was looking for was finally here!"

“Haha... what a pity, this is a fatal crisis.”.

"Before the battle, he still dared to blindly search for a breakthrough. Now that he was in a fierce battle, how was he going to break through?"

"It was better that he admitted defeat for the sake of the breakthrough he had been searching for with great difficulty. Haha…!"

The laughter of the countless disciples in the Northern Region camp was filled with scorn. At the same time, due to the sudden situation that befell Yan Chutian, they had thought that the last trace of luck in this battle had been completely cut off.

On the other hand, the disciples from the Southern Region were extremely anxious. Who would have thought that such a situation would happen at such a crucial moment?

Because of this, some disciples even started to blame Yan Chutian. If he had not foolishly sought a breakthrough, this would not have happened.

Han Chen looked up and could not help but show a helpless expression. Shilong was already extremely strong, and now Yan Chutian was in such a state. Therefore, what chance did Yan Chutian have of winning this fight? Maybe less than 10%?

The gaze silently observing Luo Qingyi also slowly shifted. In his eyes, Yan Chutian had already lost.

At the same time, Shilong, who was in the arena, could clearly sense his opponent's current condition. After a moment of shock, a thick and cold smile slowly appeared on his face.

As he looked towards Yan Chutian, his cold voice sounded. "Haha ... The Holy Son of the Southern Region, Yan Chu, don't you think that the heavens are helping me? When you try so hard to break through, the opportunity does not appear. However, after you climbed into the arena and fought with me, that opportunity suddenly appeared."

"Therefore, if you still want to maintain your chance to break through, go with the will of heaven. Don't overestimate yourself. I'll give you a chance to admit defeat."

After he finished speaking, Shilong quietly waited for Yan Chutian's reply. However, what he did not expect was that after hearing his words, Yan Chutian had no intention of admitting defeat. Instead, he suddenly raised his head and suddenly smiled. In a low voice, he said, "How do you know that this is a crisis and not an opportunity?"

"Hmph, with me here, do you think you can break through peacefully?! If you don't want to lose this fight and fail to break through, then get out of here!"

Shilong gave a cold snort, his tone revealing a strong sense of arrogance. Not to mention the current situation, he was confident that he could suppress his opponent earlier.

However, he did not expect that after he spoke so clearly, Yan Chutian still did not open his mouth to admit defeat. Therefore, he lost all his patience and gritted his teeth. “Good...Good! I want to see exactly what gives you the courage to continue standing in this arena!”

"explosion!"

The moment he finished speaking, a huge storm of spiritual power headed straight for Yan Chutian. Although Shilong's words were pleasant to hear, he was secretly gathering his strength.

At this moment, with such a surprise attack, if he did not notice, he might really be in danger. After all, Yan Chutian's current condition was extremely unstable.

At this moment, many disciples from the Northern Region also mocked Yan Chutian and ridiculed him for not knowing how to adapt to the situation. Even the disciples from the Southern Region were the same. They thought that even though Yan Chutian was unable to win the fight, he had to make sure that his cultivation level would break through. Otherwise, he would have lost both, and the loss would have been too great.

However, would the situation really be like this?

The moment the opportunity to break through appeared, Yan Chutian had to admit that he was confused. However, after being confused, he immediately regained his senses. Perhaps this was a hopeless situation in the eyes of the other disciples, but it was not necessarily so for him.

Instead, it can still be an opportunity. After all, as long as he managed to break through, he would step into the second level of the Elixir Realm. With that level of cultivation, whether it was facing Shilong in front of him or another Holy Son from the Northern Region, it would be much easier for him.

However, of course, there is no denying that there are too many risks in this process. The slightest carelessness will lead to failure, and the price of failure will be even greater. However, Yan Chutian had always understood that if he did not bear the risk, how could he obtain a reward that an ordinary person could not obtain?

Not only was he reborn into the mortal world now, even when he was in the Heaven Realm back then, he also walked step by step like this. He had experienced every unimaginable danger and walked over the cliff before finally reaching the top.

Returning to the main topic, when several Spirit Energy storms struck, Yan Chutian retreated quickly. But when he retreated, he did not remain silent. He constantly took out light spots from his robe, fusing them into the space around him.

The ripples of the silk line quickly elongated and condensed, faintly forming a huge light screen between heaven and earth, completely blocking Yan Chutian behind the light screen.

This is a formation. Without a doubt, the light point that Yan Chutian had thrown out earlier was the foundation of the formation.

Seeing this scene, everyone seemed to suddenly remember that Yan Chutian was not only a cultivator, but also a formation expert. However, if he wanted to use the formation to block Shilong hastily, he would underestimate it.

"The foundation of the formation that has been prepared for a long time?"

Seeing this situation, Shilong pursed his lips and sneered. So what if the other party was ready? How much strength did he have to activate the formation in a hurry? He was afraid that it could not even block his attack, right?

Sure enough, when several Spiritual Energy storms collided with the light screens one after another, the light screens instantly shattered, turning into points of light and disappearing in the sky. However, the formation light screen was not in vain. In the end, it completely offset the storm of Spiritual Energy.
