Chapter 949: Impressive Battle Prowess

The geniuses couldn’t believe it and got up from their seat. Just one finger was enough to push Xiao Tianrui back? This half-demon was too strong!

Xiao Tianrui’s expression soured. He was a genius of Firmament yet he lost in the first exchange against a half-demon?

If news of this were to spread, he would no longer be qualified to compete for the successor position.

“Calamity, Fountain, God – Trinity Sword Formation!” He roared and the three swords behind him flew out in unison.

They were white, cyan, and black with ferocious energies. All three were at the seventh rank.

Their light and cold energy became increasingly stronger. Rays shot out and turned into sword images.

Void Paradise had layers of suppression to weaken cultivators. Alas, it wasn’t enough to stop these swords.

Feiyun became slightly serious. Buddhist light covered his hand and creased a golden saber with Buddhist runes.

He swung and released a slash resembling a golden spring.

“Rumble!” It broke through the layers of energies and swept the three swords away. They stopped flying after hitting a jade pillar.

Xiao Tianrui lost control of the swords as a result.

“Trinity Sword Domain!” Xiao Tianrui was furious since his cloak was reduced to pieces from that slash earlier.

He summoned the three swords again and used his domain. The lights of the sword coiled together to form a sharp tsunami.

“Boundless Buddhist Art.” Feiyun placed his palms together and holy runes appeared around him. Golden energy gathered where his palms met before he unleashed a palm strike.

“Boom!” It crushed the Trinity Sword Domain and sent the swords flying again. It then struck Tianrui’s chest, causing it to cave down. Tianrui rolled on the ground like a gourd, bloodied.

“As if you can kill me, you’re way inferior compared to Xiao Tianyue. Since we’re at Void today, I will spare you. Go train for a few more years before trying again.” Feiyun chuckled.

Tianrui felt his lungs exploding from anger after losing to a half-demon and having to listen to this contemptuous comment. He spat out a mouthful of blood as a result.

“Heaven’s Emergence Talisman!” He took out a talisman and activated it. His sleeve exploded from its immense power.

A mighty palm strike carrying the power at the Heaven’s Emergence level oozed out.

Feiyun narrowed his eyes and turned his palm into a phoenix claw.

“Phoenix Incineration!” The divine claw met the palm strike directly.

Tianrui still lost the exchange despite being empowered by a mighty talisman. He couldn’t feel his arm any longer.

“Boom!” Feiyun didn’t give him time to breathe and attacked again, causing cracks to appear on the talisman.

Tianrui staggered backward, feeling the urge to vomit out his organs.

How could he be so strong?! He became afraid because the opponent was far stronger than expected.

Feiyun used the divine claw again and pierced through the talisman’s light, pulling a large chunk of flesh off his opponent.

“What are you waiting for?!” Tianrui screamed while blood gushed out of his mouth.

The seven geniuses from various domains joined the battle. They were descendants of the domain lords and had access to top merit laws. 

Though they were weaker than Xiao Tianrui, they were still gifted enough to potentially reach Heaven’s Emergence one day.

They knew that Feiyun was strong so they activated their own talismans. Seven auras rushed out like rainbows.

The island would have been destroyed if it wasn’t for the embedded formation.

“Assholes, eight against one. Don’t they care about the domain lords’ reputation?” Thirteenth’s battle spirit surged as he clenched his fists, wanting to help Feiyun.

“Wait, Brother Feng still hasn’t used his weapon or domain. It shows that he got this.” Ninth smiled.

The others nodded and were completely in awe of Feiyun’s battle potential. Going one-against-eight wasn’t something everyone could do.

Lord Kong Hou and Lord Fu Ying were relatively satisfied with Feiyun’s ability. Lord Kong Hou smiled: “See, half-demons can compete against prodigies too. Feng Feiyun is going against eight cultivators in the same realm.”

This news would cause quite a stir back in the half-demon alliance.

“Phoenix Sinflame.” He spat out a fiery cloud towards the eight attackers.

This sinflame became more destructive after he finished creating the Phoenix God Domain. It instantly burned two cultivators. They only managed to survive thanks to the talismans.

“What kind of flame is this?!” Tianrui barely managed to stop it with his talisman.

However, the powers in the talismans were being incinerated. Defeat was only a matter of time.

They started sweating with burns all over their body. 

“Boom! Boom!” The two wounded youths were the first to fall. Flames engulfed them while they screamed. A bit later, only ashes were left.

“We’re leaving!” Xiao Tianrui trembled before gritting his teeth to make this decision.

They could see that Feiyun wasn’t one to be trifled with and it was time to leave.

The six of them controlled their talismans and gradually backed off.

“Too late for that.” Feiyun had no intention of letting the tigers return to their mountains. He performed Swift Samsara and soared forward into the flames then unleashed six palm strikes.

“Boom!!!” Those struck by him exploded into pieces and were caught by the flames.

Eventually, all nine geniuses were reduced to ashes.

He then swallowed the flames back into his stomach and returned to the island.

This time, his entrance had a different reaction. The group thought that he was decisive and brutal.

Liu Suzi poured wine into her cup from a bronze pot. She smiled and said: “I can see why you were able to kill Xiao Tianyue, Brother Feng, your battle prowess is impressive. War Monarch Kong Hou, I don’t think the half-demon alliance has many like him, right?”

“Since time immemorial, there should be less than ten like him.” Lord Kong Hou responded.

Liu Suzi handed him the cup and said: “A toast for you, Brother Feng, I hope you will be the first to destroy the Heaven’s Emergence curse of the half-demons.”

The others raised their cups as well, accepting Feiyun as an equal.

“Given your power, Brother Feng, you might be able to fight against a fifth level after activating your domain.” Someone flattered.

Of course, no one here actually believed that he could do so. After all, each minor level in this realm had a great gap. 

“That one technique earlier, it looks like an imitation of the Phoenix Sinflame.” Ninth said.

They all saw how the flames suppressed eight geniuses earlier. It was quite amazing, albeit certainly not on the same level as a phoenix’s flame.

“Yes, an imitation.” Feiyun responded.

This group wanted to please Feng Feiyun in order to borrow his momentum and weaken Eighth’s morale. 

He knew what they were trying to do. In reality, he was also trying to borrow the powers behind them to stop Firmament and the twelve opposing domains.

Why did he kill those eight geniuses earlier? It was to drag this group into the mess as well. This made him feel safer.

While Feiyun and the others were celebrating and having fun, Eighth and Liu Suhong’s island had a gloomy atmosphere.
