Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Wu Hongtian has fallen.

Watching the overwhelming blood mist in the arena, the martial artists in the stands felt a chill in their hearts.

Wu Hongtian was the Young Master of the Holy King Sect, the most outstanding and meticulously nurtured genius of his generation.

His strength was enough to contend for the top position against talents like Sword Zhanxian and Huang Wu.

But now in the hands of the Demon Emperor, he was easily killed.

The faces of the Holy King Sect disciples in the stands grew extremely grim, and even the eyes of the Holy King Sect's supreme ancestor were filled with resentment.

The most promising disciple of the Holy King Sect has now been slain by the Demon Emperor. Their feud with the Demon Emperor is one of life and death, never to be reconciled.

Feeling the hatred of the Holy King Sect's disciples, the Demon Emperor remained indifferent.

He was destined to rule the world and stand atop the Nine Domains. Anyone who opposed him had to die.

This Twelfth Layer of the Celestial Selection Stone had already determined his fate.

However.

As the Demon Emperor walked off the platform, he deliberately glanced at Chu Feng a few more times, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart.

According to legend, only one person should appear in each era to reach the Twelfth Layer of the Celestial Selection Stone.

But this time, there were two: Chu Fengmian was also at the Twelfth Layer, which was beyond what the legend recorded.

However, the Demon Emperor quickly withdrew his gaze. After all, Chu Fengmian's body had already been tainted with demonic blood, making him half-dead, so there was no need to worry.

The Demon Emperor turned his head and returned directly to the area belonging to the Six Paths Demon Gate, waiting silently.

It seems even the Demon Emperor can't figure out what's going on.

Chu Feng sighed inwardly.

The legend of the Twelfth Layer of the Celestial Selection Stone, according to what Chu Fengmian had read in ancient books, should be true.

In each era, only one genius would be chosen by the heavens, destined to rule the world in the future.

The genius of this era should indeed be the Demon Emperor.

However, Chu Fengmian's reincarnation was an anomaly, as there was no precedent in history for someone truly being reincarnated.

Chu Fengmian's reincarnation was already defying the heavens.

So in this generation, having two martial artists reach the Twelfth Layer was not impossible.

No matter how great the Demon Emperor's fortune and monstrous his talent, Chu Fengmian, returned against destiny, intended to break everything.

Even if it is the Demon Emperor, a genius of the Twelfth Layer, he will be trampled under Chu Fengmian's feet.

"I wonder whether the Demon Emperor or Chu Fengmian is stronger."

"Two people at the Twelfth Layer of the Celestial Selection Stone—both indeed monstrous."

"Now it seems, it should be the Demon Emperor who is stronger. Chu Fengmian has yet to meet a truly powerful genius."

"But it is said that Sword Zhanxian is not what he used to be. Look at his strength now; he is many times stronger than last time."

"In this Nine Domains Genius Battle, you can't predict the result until the very last moment."

"Spectacular, truly spectacular—it will be the number one among the young generation of the Nine Domains."

This edition of the Nine Domains Genius Battle is the most exciting one, passed down since ancient times.

A character like Wu Hongtian, placed in the previous few Nine Domains Genius Battles, if not crowned champion, would at least ensure a top-three finish.

Yet now he was slain on the spot by the Demon Emperor, proving the peril of this Nine Domains Genius Battle.

The battle between the Demon Emperor and Wu Hongtian has ended.

The next battle begins immediately.

Chu Fengmian's name reappears in the Ancient Duel Arena.

And Chu Fengmian's opponent is Gongsun Tianjue from Gai Yue Valley.

"Isn't the opponent this round him?"

Chu Fengmian stepped forward into the Ancient Duel Arena.

Opposite him was the one with the Heavenly Jue Divine Body, Gongsun Tianjue.

Upon arriving in the Ancient Duel Arena, the power of the Heavenly Jue Divine Body on Gongsun Tianjue was completely unleashed without suppression.

"It really is the Heavenly Jue Divine Body."

Standing opposite Gongsun Tianjue, Chu Fengmian clearly felt the power of the Heavenly Jue Divine Body.

The space around Gongsun Tianjue began to continuously shatter and condense.

This is the power of the Heavenly Jue Divine Body, which is more like a curse, where everything near Gongsun Tianjue is destined for destruction.

Outside, Gongsun Tianjue had to completely suppress the power of the Heavenly Jue Divine Body.

Only in this Ancient Duel Arena could it be recklessly released.

"Was it you who killed Gongsun Fu?"

Gongsun Tianjue looked at Chu Fengmian, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Gongsun Fu?"

Hearing Gongsun Tianjue suddenly mention this name, Chu Fengmian recalled it.

Wasn't Gongsun Fu the one who wanted to besiege the Ye siblings and was killed by Chu Fengmian?

"Yes, it was me who killed him."

Chu Fengmian replied calmly.

Anyone killed by Chu Fengmian, he would not deny.

"Gongsun Fu was my brother. Dare to kill him, fine. Today, if I don't kill you, I will cripple your realm and take you to my brother's grave to kneel in repentance!"

Gongsun Tianjue's voice was extremely cold, his gaze towards Chu Fengmian burning with rage.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Tianjue attacked.

"Heavenly Jue Earth Annihilation!"

The power of the Heavenly Jue gathered in Gongsun Tianjue's palm, forming a strike, which slammed towards Chu Fengmian in mid-air.

The space touched along the way shattered in front of the Heavenly Jue's power.

This is the Heavenly Jue's power, the power to destroy everything.

"Cripple my realm? I'd like to see if you have the skill. If Gongsun Fu is your brother, then today I'll kill you and let you accompany him!"

Chu Fengmian laughed loudly, gathering Sword Intent to form a Spirit Sword in his hand.

With the Spirit Sword in hand, he met the attack with a slash, releasing a series of swordsmanship techniques.

"Heavenly Fiend Swordsmanship, Annihilation Swordsmanship, Divine Wind Swordsmanship, Middle Way Swordsmanship..."

In an instant, Chu Fengmian unleashed several dozen swordsmanship techniques, all comprehended from the Sword Dao Totem.

Facing Gongsun Tianjue, it was the best time for Chu Fengmian to practice his swordsmanship, a chance he wouldn't miss.

The several dozen swordsmanship techniques, though not fully mastered, were enough to resist Gongsun Tianjue's strike.

The power behind that strike was torn apart by the impact of the swordsmanship techniques.

Simultaneously, with his Spirit Sword, Chu Fengmian unleashed another barrage of swordsmanship techniques, surging forth.

The sky was filled with swordsmanship, as if unbothered by consuming Spiritual Power, launched one after another, ceaseless.
