Chapter 583: Chapter 531: Making History Again

WHOOSH!!

Gu Jian drew upon the power of his Heavenly River Realm. An azure Sword Gang flooded into his Battle Sword, fusing with the Power of his Realm.

He refused to activate his Little Divine Power.

He was an SSS-level genius who had Awakened two Abilities—one of the top ten prodigies of the younger generation in Xia Country, and indeed, on all of Blue Star.

A talent like him only appeared once every few years!

He had his own pride and self-respect. He was an Eighth Realm Martial Artist. If he had to unleash his Little Divine Power just to win...

...wouldn’t that just prove he was a failure!

BOOM!!

The blue Sword Gang in his hand compressed wildly before rapidly expanding, transforming into a colossal Water Flow Sword Gang a full ten meters in length.

BANG!

With a sudden burst of power, he leaped into the air, bringing his Heavy Sword crashing down on Lin Qi!

The surrounding air seemed to transform into a vast ocean, saturated with endless currents.

The power of the Heavenly River Realm flooded the entire arena.

The Killing Technique of the Tianhe Sword Technique—Celestial Waterfall Slash!

Seeing this, Lin Qi brandished his Big Gun and condensed a ten-meter Golden Spear Gang as the power of his Mountain and River Realm surged forth.

He concentrated all his power onto the tip of the spear. After reaching the absolute limit, his golden eyes began to operate at high speed.

Every one of Gu Jian’s movements began to slow, dropping to half-speed, then to quarter-speed.

Like peeling a cocoon thread by thread, he dismantled his opponent’s entire Killing Technique, searching for the perfect moment to strike.

Then, in a flash, Lin Qi moved!

A torrent of Golden Sharpness erupted as he and his Long Spear became one. The mountains and rivers resonated in harmony as he shot forward from his spot.

The moment the spear’s tip emerged, it tore across the sky.

The Golden Spear Gang transformed into a colossal, illusory image of mountains and rivers, like a collapsing mountain, a bursting river, the annihilation of all creation!

The Killing Technique of the Mountain and River Spear Technique—Mountain and River Annihilation!

The air tore with a piercing shriek wherever the spear’s tip passed.

Every member of the audience watched with wide eyes, terrified of missing a single detail.

BANG!!

Even the Ninth Realm Martial Artists in the front row watched the scene in silence.

They didn’t know who would win, but they could tell the duel was about to end.

Once a third Killing Technique was unleashed, it was meant to end the fight.

Celestial Waterfall Slash and Mountain and River Annihilation collided mid-air, the two Killing Techniques meeting in a climactic confrontation.

The Sword Gang and Spear Gang collided, and then the weapons themselves clashed.

Sword blade met spear tip, and a terrifying power erupted from both their bodies.

BANG!!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a massive explosion tore through the sky above the arena.

The air shuddered, and an Energy Gale blasted outward in all directions.

In that same instant, the victor and vanquished were decided!

Through the gale, a figure in Blue Armor was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, plummeting toward the ground.

BANG!!

The Battle Armor smashed into the ground, leaving a 0.1-meter-deep crater in the alloy floor.

Gu Jian’s body was embedded within the crater, his Blue Battle Armor covered in abrasions and spear marks.

PTUI!

Gu Jian coughed up a spray of blood mixed with fragments of his Inner Organs. Excruciating pain flooded his brain as his senses slowly returned.

In that final moment, pure, raw power had blasted into his body, instantly piercing through the Sword Gang he had condensed.

His weak point had been found, and his Killing Technique had instantly crumbled.

He quickly pushed himself up from the ground and looked at the figure landing not far away, whose Black Gold Armor was now covered in several slash marks.

HUMMM—!

The Black Gold Spear vibrated, its tip still humming with residual power.

’I... I actually lost...!’

Gu Jian stared at Lin Qi, his expression one of utter disbelief.

Endless waves of pain washed over him. His muscles were torn, his Inner Organs ruptured. Even with his Battle Armor absorbing most of the impact, he was still gravely wounded.

Lin Qi looked down at Gu Jian and asked:

"Going to use your Little Divine Power now?"

Gu Jian didn’t answer. He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on his Heavy Sword, ready to keep fighting.

He still refused to activate his Little Divine Power.

"In that case, die!"

Lin Qi’s expression was cold. The moment he spoke, his Black Gold Spear shot forward.

WHOOSH!

SHLICK!

Gang Power condensed as the spear’s tip tore through the air and pierced Gu Jian’s neck. Blood sprayed from the wound.

Gu Jian’s figure dissipated, fading into the Void.

Lin Qi watched him disappear, a little surprised. ’He never used his Little Divine Power, not even at the very end.’

’Was he trying to preserve one last shred of dignity?’

[Match Over!]

[Duel Result: Lin Qi Wins, Gu Jian Loses!]

An automated voice announced the final result over the now-silent arena.

Applause instantly erupted from the stands.

It set off a chain reaction as the rest of the audience joined in.

Thunderous applause rang out, mingled with a rising tide of excited chatter.

"He won!"

"Lin Qi actually won?!!"

"What did I just see? Is that Lin Qi guy even human?"

"It’s been 49 years since the dawn of modern Martial Arts, and we’ve seen countless geniuses. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen an SSS-level talent defeated by someone from a lower realm!"

"And Gu Jian was a genius who had Awakened two Abilities!"

"We’re witnessing history!"

In the Celestial Vault Institute’s section of the stands.

Jiang Miaoyin was the first to applaud, and Jiangtao was the second.

Jiang Miao said with a smile:

"I just knew Brother Lin Qi would win!"

"In my eyes, he’s the strongest genius on all of Blue Star!"

Wan Ming clapped excitedly. "I’m convinced! Utterly convinced!"

"At this point, I’d believe it if someone said Brother Qi could jump a realm and beat a Ninth Realm!"

"Brother Qi has never lost, not in any major tournament or duel!"

"Senior Shen Heng is a lucky man. He’s the only one who’s ever defeated Brother Qi."

"He’s got bragging rights for life!"

The people around them chuckled at that.

Chu Yu, who was clad in a red robe, lamented:

"Lin Qi can already defeat an Eighth Realm Martial Artist, and he’s only twenty years old!"

"And I’m still spinning my wheels in the Sixth Realm. The gap is just getting wider and wider!"

As soon as Chu Yu said this, the laughter died. A palpable pressure fell over the group.

...

Not far from the group, Gu Ming and Gu City stood frozen, their expressions completely dazed.
