Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 228

Thus, when they heard Yan Chutian say such arrogant words, even the other geniuses on the stone stage who originally thought that Yan Chutian was hiding his strength could not help but sneer and shake their heads at the moment.

In their opinion, it was just that this unknown man had yet to condense spirit runes. That's normal. Many third and even fourth level cultivators were unable to use spirit runes. He was most likely a pathetic person.

And since he had yet to condense spirit runes, he naturally would not know how frightening it was. But because of this, this battle had to completely end.

As if they had predicted the outcome again, the geniuses no longer paid attention to it and looked away, silently waiting for the results they already knew would happen.

But when the result actually happened, they were destined to be shocked once again!

The golden axe felled with a shocking momentum. If a fourth level cultivator stood in front of him, they would definitely end up in a miserable state if they did not have enough means to defend themselves.

But facing such a method, how could Yan Chutian not have the means to defend himself?

He did not use spirit runes. Instead, he circulated his spirit energy, causing the purple and red colors on his arms to intertwine and emit a dazzling light.

When this kind of energy accumulated to a certain extent, Yan Chutian let out a slow groan. Simultaneously with a groan, an extremely sharp Star Mark suddenly shot out!

"Second Star Sign …!"

The second Star Mark was something that Yan Chutian had refined not long ago after refining the Blood Essence Spirit Fruit. This was the first time Yan Chutian had used it against an enemy.

The attack of the second Star Mark was too illusory, to the point that some geniuses watching the battle could not see it clearly. While they were still in a daze, the Star Mark and the heavy axe collided violently.

At the moment of contact, there was no surprising movement. In the eyes of the crowd, they could only see that the golden heavy axe was strangely frozen in the air.

This caused many geniuses to reveal puzzled gazes. What is going on …?

But soon, they understood. After pausing for a moment, a mark suddenly appeared on the body of the golden axe. Simultaneously with the mark, an axe that was originally impressive with spirit runes appeared. At this moment, a crack seemed to have opened up in his aura.

It would be fine if it was just a crack, but once the crack appeared, it would be like the collapse of a dam. In the end, only destruction awaited him.

Therefore, the golden axe was like a dam that quickly collapsed. The crack spread throughout the axe body and shook continuously.

The appearance of this scene completely shocked all the geniuses on this stone platform. Even the nearby hanging stone platform of the same level also looked at this scene in astonishment.

They clearly don't believe. How could a result that was clearly doomed be cancelled once again?!

"How is... How is this possible? It was the power of spirit runes. To think that it was actually... defeated by spirit arts?"

"This ... Are spirit runes still the strongest abilities of the Elixir Realm?"

"Who is this guy?! Only with the third level Elixir Realm was he able to unleash such powerful spirit arts and destroy spirit runes!"

Shouts of astonishment appeared from all directions. Even though these people were geniuses, they were still shocked by this sight. However, among these people, none of them were geniuses fighting over the spirit fruit that day. Otherwise, they would have recognized Yan Chutian a long time ago.

If they recognized Yan Chutian, they would not be too surprised by this sight. After all, compared to when he snatched the spirit fruit from the siege and escaped unharmed, this was a children's game.

When the spirit rune was broken, it immediately turned into a beam of golden light and returned to Wang Hong's body. In the next instant, Wang Hong spewed out a mouthful of blood. He was both shocked and in disbelief.

However, this time, he was not as lucky as before. He fell from the stone platform and was teleported by space. He has failed.

Seeing Wang Hong being defeated and disappearing, Yan Chutian did not look happy at all. This was because the situation should have been like this. If he were to fight Wang Hong, it would be a difficult fight. It would be strange if he had to fight a draw or even lose.

In fact, Yan Chutian did not deny the power of spirit runes. It was just that Wang Hong's spirit runes were not worth mentioning in his eyes. Wang Hong was probably the only person who could be so arrogant after condensing spirit runes.

It was clear that the current Yan Chutian was no weaker than them in their eyes. In fact, some geniuses even felt incomparable to him.

As Yan Chutian scanned his surroundings, the certain space in front of him rippled like water. After which, a pill that gave off a faint medicinal fragrance appeared and fell into his palm.

After identifying the pill in his hand, Yan Chutian's expression was good as this pill was still quite valuable to him.

Hence, Yan Chutian felt that he had nothing to lose by being able to obtain such a pill after defeating Wang Hong.

In fact, he was looking forward to a similar situation happening again.

The Star Tree seemed to know what he was thinking. When he climbed onto the next stone platform at a higher level, another cold and arrogant gaze was cast.

When Yan Chutian looked back, he was surprised to see that the owner of this gaze was someone he knew.

Although Yan Chutian did not know his name, he knew that he was one of the top geniuses in the Daluo Sect. The Daluo Sect ranked very close to second-rate troops.

At this point, it was not difficult to know that the other party was a bald youth trying to stop Yan Chutian when they were fighting over spirit fruits on a remote island.

That day, the two did not fight. He did not expect to see each other again this time.

The bald youth had already locked onto Yan Chutian. In his eyes, there was no ridicule or contempt like Wang Hong.

This was because the bald youth knew that the man in front of him was not as simple as he seemed. Otherwise, he would not be able to condense three spirit runes at such a cultivation level.

However, it was because of this that the bald youth would inevitably have fighting intent in his heart. He wanted to personally test just how incredible this Tianji Sect disciple could condense three spirit runes in the third level of the Elixir Realm.

Sensing the battle intent of the bald youth, the geniuses around him took the initiative to make way for him. At the same time, they looked at Yan Chutian arrogantly.

They did not know why the bald youth suddenly had the intention of fighting against a Tier Three man. However, they knew the identity and cultivation level of that bald youth. In their opinion, Yan Chutian's fate had already been determined since he had been the target of the top geniuses in the Daluo Sect.

Since the geniuses in the surroundings could sense the battle intent of the bald youth, it was naturally impossible for Yan Chutian not to sense it. Therefore, he understood that he would definitely not be able to escape this battle.

However, he was not afraid at all. Even if the cultivation level of the genius of the Daluo Sect was at the peak of Level Five, it was not impossible for him to fight or even win.

He would only know the outcome of this battle after he fought!

"My name is Mu Gong, a disciple of the Daluo Sect."

The bald youth, who was Mu Gong, slowly revealed his identity as he looked at the bald youth coldly. The surrounding geniuses inevitably had strange expressions on their faces because they knew that this was a form of respect that would only be shown when facing someone with the same level of cultivation. Why would Mu Gong show such respect to a Tier Three man?

Yan Chutian ignored the reactions of the geniuses around him. After the bald youth revealed his identity, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "The nameless disciple of Tianji Sect, Yan Chu."

When he heard the name Yan Chutian, Tianji Sect, Mu Gong was not surprised at all because he already knew about this just yet.

It was also because of this that he was shocked that day. He could not imagine that the Tianji Sect, which had always been quiet, would have such an outstanding disciple.

After he revealed his identity, Mu Gong's expression slowly turned sharp. Since he had already expressed his respect, it was time for him to fight!

In the next moment, Mu Gong's spiritual energy gathered on his right foot and emitted a dense aura from the golden spear. It was as if his body was a sharp sword that could injure people with just a single touch.

Mu Gong's strange spiritual energy did not come out of nowhere. There was the Spirit Refinement Valley in the Daluo Sect. If one were to become a top genius in the sect, they would have a chance to enter the valley for Spirit cultivation.

Thus, after becoming a top-tier prodigy, Mu Gong also entered the Spirit Refinement Valley. Moreover, unexpectedly, he had completely purified his own spiritual power, making it like a golden spear, showing off his sharpness.
