Chapter 901 The Tragic Azure Sky
"this....."
Seeing Cang Ming suddenly display the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, Jia Zheng immediately looked at Zhao Mu and asked, "Brother Zhao, is Fairy Yu really alright?"
Under the same level of cultivation, physical cultivation is stronger than spiritual cultivation; this is a fact universally acknowledged.
Unless one is a pure sword cultivator, very few people can defeat an opponent of the same level, or even with similar talent.
Cang Ming, who has reached the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, is probably stronger than Yu Ying, who is at the same realm.
Let's see how it goes!
Although Cang Ming's cultivation level shocked him, Zhao Mu did not see any surprise on Yu Ying's face so far. Obviously, this was probably within his expectations.
Cang Ming, who has reached the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, is really not easy to deal with!
Zhao Mu felt that even if it were him, he would have to go through a lot of trouble, and it might end up being a lose-lose situation.
After all, his cultivation level was still slightly inferior.
"I wonder just how strong Yu Ying really is?"
Zhao Mu murmured to himself, stroking his chin, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't know much about Yu Ying and Yan Lan's strength. He only knew that they were much stronger than ordinary Four Extremes Realm Great Perfection cultivators, but he didn't know exactly how much stronger they were.
Whether he can win against Cang Ming, who is at the fourth level of the Extreme Realm, is even more uncertain.
On the arena, Cang Ming's eyes flashed with fierce light and smugness. In his eyes, among the top ten, only Yu Ying could be considered a true opponent. That's why he revealed his true strength as soon as he started fighting.
Because, in his view, after defeating Yu Ying, no one else was a threat.
"The Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, it seems you, Cang Ming, have obtained an extraordinary opportunity in the Langhuan Secret Realm!"
After making this remark, Yu Ying immediately said, "But... you don't actually think that refining the spirit is really inferior to refining the body at the same level, do you?"
"Humph~"
Cang Ming smiled contemptuously and said sarcastically, "You're just making a show of it. If you really have the ability, then defeat me."
"Since you have made this request so sincerely, I will naturally grant it."
A faint smile appeared on Yu Ying's lips. She held her long sword at a 45-degree angle, and there was no fluctuation of aura about her, just like an ordinary female swordswoman in the martial arts world.
"Something's not right!"
Below the arena, Yin Yu had been watching intently. Upon seeing Yu Ying's move, he immediately frowned.
"Interesting?"
Yin Yue didn't leave. Her cultivation was higher, and her eyesight was stronger. She saw more things and smiled, saying, "Is this the path of ancient cultivators?"
This appearance is very much like that of a sword cultivator. Between a body-refining cultivator and a sword cultivator of the same level, there is a real chance of a fight, and no one can be sure who will win.
but......
The person wielding the sword is not necessarily a sword cultivator; they may simply be a swordsman, just like Yu Ying at this moment.
However, Yu Ying was different. Because of the opportunity in that secret realm, her cultivation path changed. She no longer followed the current path, but turned to the path of ancient cultivators.
The reason she couldn't break through to the Fourth Extreme Realm in the outside world was because the Fourth Extreme Realm was a crucial juncture, and the external environment was simply insufficient to support her breakthrough. That's why the Myriad Spirits Record came about.
Few people know the path of ancient cultivators, let alone attempt to follow it successfully.
At least, to their knowledge, no one has yet successfully navigated this path.
However, people from powerful forces have some understanding of ancient cultivators and know that in ancient times, cultivators did not have distinctions between body refinement, spirit refinement, soul refinement, sword cultivators, or saber cultivators.
Ancient cultivators were more complex, but also more pure.
They look like ordinary knights-errant, but when they actually fight, they are terrifying. No one can fathom the true extent of their strength.
"This Yu Ying might become your formidable rival in the championship!"
"Under the protection of extraordinary treasures, all beings are equal."
"That's true!"
The siblings were full of confidence and did not think that Yu Ying would become an obstacle on their road to victory; at most, she would just be a stumbling block.
The war is about to start.
The fighting styles of both sides were quite simple and straightforward. Cang Ming was a body cultivator, so this was to be expected, but Yu Ying, a spirit refinement cultivator, was also fighting in this way, which was somewhat puzzling.
"What's going on?"
"Have you noticed that Fairy Yu's spiritual power has no attribute? Attributeless spiritual power, that's not..."
"As we all know, attribute-less spiritual power is practically synonymous with waste. How come it's so powerful in Fairy Yu's hands?"
"Yes, I feel that this attribute-less spiritual power is very powerful. It can even rival the Body Refinement realm and is much more powerful than ordinary Spirit Refinement cultivators."
"Don't you guys feel that Fairy Yu's current state doesn't resemble a Spirit Refining cultivator fighting against a Body Refining cultivator at all, but rather a Sword Cultivator fighting against a Body Refining cultivator?"
"Yes, but Fairy Yu is even more pure than a sword cultivator, which is truly unbelievable."
"What kind of approach is this?"
"..."
The onlookers were amazed, but also completely baffled, unable to understand how Yu Ying cultivated.
The only thing I can understand is that she is very powerful.
"Is this the path of ancient cultivators?"
Zhao Mu had heard Yu Ying talk about it before, and now that he had seen its power with his own eyes, he exclaimed with great interest, "Interesting, very interesting! I didn't know that attribute-less spiritual power could be this powerful."
“In ancient times, cultivators did not have any attribute distinctions. Our current cultivation system was truly fixed at a time about ten thousand epochs ago.”
Yanlan chimed in from the side.
An era is 120,000 years, and 10,000 eras is roughly 1.2 billion years. This is far from the age of the Kunwu Continent. In ancient times, we would have to go back at least 100,000 eras.
In other words, the cultivation system on the Kunwu Continent is still very young.
"According to the ancestor, the truly powerful ones were the cultivators of the ancient times. The gods and demons of that era all possessed extraordinary abilities, and there was no such thing as breaking through the void or ascending to immortality."
After recalling for a moment and organizing her thoughts, Yanlan continued, "However, later on, probably due to changes in the environment, everything gradually changed."
"In this day and age, it's unlikely that Cang Mingxiang will be able to surpass Yu Ruoling in the path of ancient cultivators."
As expected, after about an hour, Cang Ming not only began to fall into a disadvantageous position, but also quickly lost, and was pinned to the arena by Yu Ying's sword.
"Humph~"
Yu Ying smiled dismissively, "Nothing special!"
After saying that, she left the ring under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After a moment of complete silence, the referee finally came to his senses and announced the result.
"Yu Yingsheng!"
As the verdict was announced, the spiritual energy sword blade on Cang Ming's body instantly dissipated, and his burly body crashed to the ground with a thud. Even without seeing anything, he could feel the strange gazes coming from all directions.
He... is just a clown!
Just then, the referee spoke up: "Cang Ming, your injuries are not serious. You will have three hours to recuperate. After three hours, you will begin your match with Yan Lan of the Amorous Sword Sect. Any objections?"
"without!"
