Chapter 313 - The Absolute Domain On the Floating Platform, piercingly cold winds (1/2)

On the Floating Platform, piercingly cold winds blew. With their clothes whistling, five people stood on each apex of a pentagon, the direction of which represented the five elements of the universe: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, respectively. Because of the special rules of this match, none of them dared to take the initiative to attack the others. With great caution, everyone was on guard against the two people on either side.

A quarter had passed. By making use of this period, people could even finish a cup of tea. However, there was still no movement on the Floating Platform. Standing in the direction that represented gold, Su Zimu wore a gentle smile while shaking his folding fan. It looked like he was the most relaxed person.

Xiaoyue stood in the direction that represented water, poker-faced. Staying in the direction of fire with both hands clasped behind his back, Xiao Chen seemed to have no intention to attack the others first. But it appeared that One-dot Red, who was in the wood direction, wanted to attack Xiao Chen first. But he was afraid that the other three people would take the chance to sneak up on him once he launched the attack.

Yang Shaochen, who was in the direction of earth, already had cold sweat on his forehead. He appeared to be the most stressful person because his cultivation was the lowest among the five.

Seeing that they stood still for quite a long time now, many in the crowd below started to whisper among themselves. On the high platform, the three senior Elders also frowned. For the first time, such a temporary stalemate occurred. All the previous top five contestants who had participated in the Immortal’s Sword Assembly had a small disparity in their strength. But this time, except for Yang Shaochen, whose cultivation was slightly lower than the others, the other four people hid their strength deep and well.

Suddenly, Su Zimu smiled lightly. “Brother Xiao, you have unfathomable cultivation. Why not show us your strength first?”

Xiaoyue smiled and said, “I agree. After all, Brother Xiao has higher cultivation than any of us.”

Yang Shaochen echoed, “What Brother Su and Fairy Xiaoyue said is reasonable. I have the lowest cultivation, so I dare not show myself before Brother Xiao.”

Xiao Chen said lightly, “If you want to do it, then go ahead.”

As Xiao Chen’s voice fell, a several-meters-long beam of purple light suddenly rose up and shot at him. It was the first attack launched by One-dot Red.

After One-dot Red’s attack, Su Zimu waved his folding fan. Then, 13 beams of golden Sword Qi descended from the sky. Meanwhile, Xiaoyue swept her Duster, and suddenly, several thousand rays of Sword Qi appeared. Aside, Yang Shaochen chanted a spell fast and summoned five or six chains of golden light out of thin air.

All of a sudden, before the spectators could react, the wind rose and the clouds began to gather high in the formerly tranquil sky. After taking a closer look, they found that all of the four people chose to attack Xiao Chen first without a prior discussion.

For all four of them knew that if they did not get rid of Xiao Chen first, not one of them would have much of a chance to win the match later. In the previous talk, they had hinted to each other that they should first join hands to cast off Xiao Chen before anything else.

Xiao Chen gave a cold smile because he had already expected this. His two palms pushed forward and sent out two waves of earth-shattering power. The two waves of power roared past One-dot Red first. Hit by the power, One-dot Red could feel that his blood and Qi began to surge violently inside, and he was nearly knocked back into the air. Yang Shaochen had the lowest cultivation, so he dared not stand in sharp opposition to fight with Xiao Chen. Hence, he chose to stand in the distance and chant his family’s special spell, Soul-trapping and Mind-locking, to disturb Xiao Chen’s state of mind.

Su Zimu shouted, “Heavenly Thirteen Swords!” After that, all the 13 beams of Sword Qi cut right at Xiao Chen like a mighty army that no force could stop.

“Illusory Brilliance and Magical Moon!” Xiaoyue shouted in a sweet voice. Suddenly, countless crescent moons with purple radiance emerged in midair. They were like sharp curved blades. Then, she threw all of these moons at Xiao Chen.

“Heavenly True Fire — Three Thousand Ordeals!”

“Tao begets yin and yang, and then yin and yang beget all — Formless Great Tao!”

“Soul-trapping and Mind-locking Spell!”

High in the sky, Sword Qi was surging violently, and the opponents’ treasures were shining brilliantly. Upon seeing such a scene, Murong Xian’er stamped her feet anxiously. “How can they do this? How can all of them go against Brother Xiao Chen? They should not bully him like that! Don’t take such a bully! It is nasty!”

On the Floating Platform, Xiao Chen alone could not deal with the four of them at the same time. They besieged Xiao Chen, continuously launching various attacks to fight against him. Only seconds later, Xiao Chen’s clothes were cut into pieces.

Raising his eyebrows, Su Zimu smiled. “Brother Xiao, watch out! Mystic Sky Northern Underworld Fan!” As soon as he finished, Su Zimu waved his folding fan. Then, countless wind blades covered the sky and came at Xiao Chen at an exceedingly fast speed.

Xiaoyue smiled. “Brother Xiao, you deserve to be called the best one in the East Continent. Then, take my ‘Wind Flower Snow Moon’!” She swept out with the Duster, then countless petals mixed in with snowflakes popped up. They looked beautiful. But in fact, they were dangerous.

Facing the attacks coming from all directions, in addition to Yang Shaochen wielding the Soul-trapping chains aside, Xiao Chen was now unable to deal with the situation of incessant crises. Suddenly, he vehemently stamped his left foot on the ground and instantly kicked the piles of rubble into midair.

“Absolute Domain!”

Along with the fading of the four words, the rubble all over the sky froze immediately in midair, and then a mysterious force spread out. First, it pinned down Su Zimu’s Mystic Sky Northern Underworld Fan in the air. Shortly after that, One-dot Red’s Purple Ying Sword stopped moving. Finally, even Xiaoyue’s Duster Sword was motionless. Of course, Yang Shaochen’s Soul-trapping Chains were out of action long ago.

Now, the four of them were unable to move as if Xiao Chen had become the master of this small space at this moment.

“What?” The people below looked at each other with astonishment, and all their expressions changed. Right after that, there were bangs incessantly lingering on. The sounds came from the south and north sides of the spectators’ area. It turned out that some people from prominent families had crushed the teacups in their hands because of the shock.

A white-bearded old man was so excited that he stood up and exclaimed, “Absolute Domain! It is the Absolute Domain! Has he reached the Nascent Soul Realm? Who is this young man?”

“He is Xiao Chen, who came here from the East Continent some time ago!”

“Amazing! Awesome! I reached the Nirvana Realm many years ago, but I cannot understand the mysteries of the Absolute Domain! This man has a very promising future!”
