Chapter 2092: Earth-Shattering News

Hen Mo slapped at Ling Gong. A palm strike reinforced with aurelian force was nothing to sneer at. The attack landed easily, and Ling Gong’s internal organs shattered. Hen Mo had been merciless in his attack.

After seeing Ling Gong’s corpse fall to the floor of the plaza, Hen Mo turned around to finish stomping Dai Ao to death. However, another spear stabbed at him from behind. Hen Mo turned and was startled to see Ling Gong attacking him again. "You?"

The spear that Ling Gong wielded was different, and her Skycastle appeared above her. It was a flawless building constructed from white jade, and an ancient bell rang in an attempt to suppress the aurelian force. However, Ling Gong had underestimated the power of aurelian force. How could something that could only be achieved by possessing an indomitable spirit be suppressed by an innate gift? The Skycastle shattered.

Ling Gong was utterly stunned. Her opponent’s cultivation surpa.s.sed her own, and his combat strength did so as well.

Hen Mo's aurelian force was as stable as a mountain, and it showed not even the slightest ripple from Ling Gong’s attempt to destabilize it.

"Is this a cloning battle technique? Interesting." As Hen Mo spoke, he clenched his right hand into a fist and released a punch. With his aurelian force, he was unstoppable.

A person shot by Ling Gong. There was nine lined battle force covering his entire body, and he raised a hand to stop Hen Mo’s punch. "Heart Quenching Palm."

There was a bang, and the man shot backwards far faster than when he arrived. His right arm was completely shattered, and a long divet was carved in the floor of the plaza as he landed. However, blood stains could also be seen on Hen Mo’s shoulder.

Hen Mo did not pay to his injured shoulder, as he was staring at the man lying on the floor. "You managed to survive after taking my punch? Pretty good."

The fallen man was actually Cai Jianqiang. Despite being just a bit over a hundred years old, he had chosen to partic.i.p.ate in the Dao Chosen selection. While he might have technically broken the rules, no one would raise any fuss over it.

An ugly expression could be seen on Ling Gong's face. If Cai Jianqiang had not jumped in front of her, she would have been the one to be badly injured, and there would have been no possibility of wounding Hen Mo.

Hen Mo shook his head. "For this era, you’re quite good."

As he spoke, he seized Ling Gong’s spear, and his aurelian force slowly surged again, subjecting Ling Gong to so much pressure that she struggled to breathe. As he did this, Hen Mo also raised his foot. "You want to keep me from stomping him to death, but you aren’t capable of doing so."

Only a short amount of time had pa.s.sed, and yet more than half of the partic.i.p.ants had already been eliminated from the Dao Chosen selection.

The fighting on the other side of the plaza was similarly fierce. Avery had run out of luck, and even after he fell, he was still being affected by the various battles. The fighting was truly inhumane, and Shang Rong was taken out by w.a.n.g Yi.

Many people had worked together to attack w.a.n.g Yi, but no one could defeat her, including s.h.i.+ Zhongjian and Lightson.ReadNovelFull.com

Yuhua Mavis had found and moved to join Heluo Mavis. The two Mavis women fought hard. Heluo Mavis was left speechless by the battles, but everyone who saw her felt an even greater loss for words. This woman from the Mavis family looked cute and delicate in her green outfit, and she was quite attractive. However, she fought more brutally than anyone else, and absolutely no one was safe from her.

Gu Xiao'er had wrapped his entire body with white smoke, and he avoided all of the fighting near Heluo and Yuhua Mavis. Just the shockwaves that were released from those two crazy women were too much for Gu Xiao’er to handle. The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a sharp line; he had very nearly lost his head!

Who had sneaked up and attacked him?

He turned his head to look to the side, and he suddenly saw someone fall to the ground at his feet. Gu Xiao'er recognized this person. Isn't he the Hall of Honor’s Honor Chosen, Shu Jing? No wonder I just saw a sharp line! That’s his innate gift! So why is he in such rough shape? Who did this to him?

Gu Xiao'er looked up and saw Sky Garan.

Gu Xiao’er felt his cheek twitch as he tried to say h.e.l.lo. "Sorry to bother you."

He immediately turned around to flee as soon as he finished speaking, but after just a few steps, he stepped on something strange and almost twisted his ankle. “Where the h.e.l.l did a broken stone come from?”

He tried to kick the stone away, but the rock moved and avoided the foot. "Gu Xiao'er, what are you doing?"

Gu Xiao'er was startled. "Little Mountain G.o.d? Are you here too? Why are you hiding on the floor?"

Little Mountain G.o.d answered helplessly, "I can't help it! There are too many freaks fighting—wait a sec, why are you running away?"

Right as Gu Xiao'er was about to answer, a powerful force swept through and tossed both him and Little Mountain G.o.d away.

Sky Garan felt nothing but contempt for such trash that had the audacity to try to partic.i.p.ate in the Dao Chosen selection.

From the audience stands, Lu Buzheng's face grew somber. The fact that someone with Sky Garan's level of power had finally taken action meant that the chaff would soon be removed, and only the qualified candidates would remain to compete.

There were other people who wanted to struggle for the t.i.tle of Dao Chosen, but such efforts were useless. At the moment, it was all too easy for the people who were fis.h.i.+ng for a lucky opportunity to be cleared away, just like Gu Xiao'er and Little Mountain G.o.d.

Xu San was eliminated, Ku Lei was taken out, and even Di Fa fell. In Di Fa’s case, he was sent flying by Lu Lai’s slap. None of them had the slightest chance, as the gap in their strength was too great.

In startling contrast, there were two girls freely darting about the plaza. They were Black and White. Elsewhere, the Greenmen Duo were hiding in a corner, but their intentions were anyone’s guess.

Wen Sansi used a triple-layered Literary Prison to trap Chu Yuan and launch an attack.

Many people paid attention to this exchange.

Wen Sansi was certainly not weak. While he had also failed to become an Envoy, he should still possess the requisite strength to force Chu Yuan to reveal something through the combination of his barrier innate gift and Literary Prison.

Even Heluo Mavis glanced over. She was also partic.i.p.ating as a representative of the Lu Heavenly Gate, so she was already aware of Wen Sansi’s strength and his impressive innate gift.

After being trapped by the layered Literary Prison, Chu Yuan revealed a bit of surprise. "So this era hasn’t completely lost all of their inheritances if this method of using ancient characters has endured. Still, this can't hold me."

He then casually walked out of the literary prison.

Wen Sansi was shocked. How? How could his Literary Prison be overcome so easily?

"If you can truly comprehend these ancient characters, then you will become a true powerhouse in the future. However, you’re still far from that level." Chu Yuan then pointed a finger out at Wen Sansi.

Heluo Mavis rolled her eyes as she watched. Chu Yuan was underestimating Wen Sansi too much. While there was an impressive difference in the two men’s cultivation, it was not enough for Wen Sansi to be crushed with a single finger.

A curtain or light appeared in front of Wen Sansi. It was his barrier innate gift.

As Chu Yuan's attack struck, Wen Sansi was merely pushed backwards, and his barrier held strong. "That’s an odd innate gift."

Wen Sansi frowned, blew out a heavy breath, and then leaped out of the plaza.

Chu Yuan was caught off guard. Was this person just giving up?

Wen Sansi felt he had no choice. Long ago, Lu Yin had already been able to shatter his barrier, so there was no need to test Chu Yuan. The man had become a Dao Chosen during the Heavens Sect era, which meant that he could only be stronger than Lu Yin, not weaker. Even if Wen Sansi had greatly improved over the last twenty years, someone like Chu Yuan would only grow even faster.

Many people felt that Wen Sansi’s forfeiture was a pity, as his innate gift should have been able to force Chu Yuan to reveal at least some of his strength.

In the Heavens Sect’s plaza, Chu Yuan, Heluo Mavis, and Sky Garan were all clearly seeded candidates, but they were not the only ones. Every single Heavenly Gate had sent their own carefully selected representatives.

These seeded candidates did not receive any special privileges, but they were essentially acting out a compet.i.tion between the Heavenly Gates.

Chu Yuan represented the Three Fatalities Heavenly Gate, Heluo Mavis the Lu Heavenly Gate, Sky Garan the Bloodlines Heavenly Gate, and Silver the Undying Heavenly Gate.

Xia Luo had opted to not partic.i.p.ate in the Dao Chosen selection, but his expression was incredibly serious as he looked at Silver’s smile as the man stood in the plaza. Silver had always kept far too much hidden, and no one could ever see through his sly smile. Ever since Xia Luo had first encountered Silver on Earth, he had been incredibly wary of the man, and that caution was something that had subconsciously risen from the depths of Xia Luo’s heart.

Given the fact that Silver was supposed to be from the same generation as Xia Luo, it seemed absolutely impossible for him to have partic.i.p.ated in the Astral Tower compet.i.tion and use Corpse Beast to capture Lu Yin. At this moment, Silver was a seeded candidate for the Dao Chosen selection. This showed that Silver’s rate of improvement was comparable to even Lu Yin’s. If Xia Luo were not a part of the Nine Clones Secret Technique, he would have never been able to compare to Silver.

In truth, even after uniting the nine clones and obtaining Xia Jiuyou's cultivation, Xia Luo still felt that he still was not on the same level as Silver.

Just what was Silver hiding?

In addition to Silver, there was one last seeded candidate in the plaza: the mace wielding Big Sis. She was the representative of the Divining Heavenly Gate.

No one had expected Big Sis to be the Divining Heavenly Gate’s representative, as they had all expected Starsibyl to take that role. Big Sis seemed better suited to representing the pirates and outlaws.

There were certain things that would always induce fear in people. The Divining Heavenly Gate intimidated everyone, as it was related to Destiny. The more that people learned about Destiny, the more hesitant they would be to do anything to the Divining Heavenly Gate.

Not even the people from the Heavens Sect era were willing to antagonize Big Sis, and neither was anyone from the modern era. This meant that, up until now, Big Sis had not needed to take any action. She also had not taken a single step towards the statue of the Origin Progenitor, and she had simply remained standing where she was while occasionally shaking her mace. None of her few movements had drawn any attention.

Lu Yin stepped forward on the back of Ancestor Tortoise. He looked down at the Dao Chosen selection playing out in the plaza, as well as the various Semi-Progenitors surrounding the plaza and watching. He also saw the odd-looking woman standing in the plaza.

Destina had announced that she would unilaterally support whoever became the Dao Chosen. Lu Yin wanted to see if that was really true.

He stepped out and instantly arrived next to the plaza. His behavior was very calm, and so no one paid Lu Yin any attention at all. Everyone was focused on the numerous exciting battles taking place in the plaza, so why would anyone bother paying attention to what was happening outside?

Lu Yin glanced around the plaza, and he saw a bleeding and wounded Liu Tianmu trying to fight against Wei An. He saw Cai Jianqiang lying on the ground, clearly badly injured. He saw Liu Shaoqiu, though it was impossible to tell if the man was still alive. There was Hai Dashao, who was fighting Shang Rong. Lu Yin also saw Chu Yuan slowly walking towards the statue of the Origin Progenitor. Finally, he saw Hen Mo, his body shrouded with aurelian force with a hand holding Ling Gong’s spear while a foot was raised to stomp down and crush Dai Ao.

This last situation sent a cold glint flickering through Lu Yin's eyes, and his left hand shot forward so quickly that not even Envoys could see him lash out with a Hollow Palm. At the same time, he used stellular energy to form a sword in his right hand that swept out.

Hen Mo’s foot dropped. He had completely suppressed Ling Gong and was at the height of his arrogance. He was punis.h.i.+ng a traitor to the Three Fatalities Heavenly Gate.

Suddenly, the man felt a terrible sense of danger that caused his heart to race. This was something that only happened when his life was in danger. He had experienced this sensation before, and Hen Mo recognized the sensation, but he had always recognized the source of the feeling in the past and had thus known what actions to take. Unfortunately, at this moment, Hen Mo had no idea where the danger was coming from.

Boom!

The Hollow Palm landed directly on Hen Mo's right arm, and he was blown back. Not even his aurelian force could stop this attack, and half of Hen Mo’s body was shattered before he smashed into the ground.

At this same instance, across the plaza, Liu Tianmu was gasping for breath. Her Thirteenth Sword had inflicted heavy damage upon Wei An, and it was far more useful than Liu Shaoqiu's attack. However, it still was not enough to defeat Wei An. The man retaliated with a slash of his own blade, and the attack was powerful enough to kill Liu Tianmu.

There was a large gap in power between the two; one was an Enlighter, while the other was an Envoy.

Liu Tianmu stared at the falling blade and tightly clenched the hilt of her sword. She used the Sixth Sword to block the approaching attack.

Suddenly, a sword slash shot by Liu Tianmu and fell straight onto Wei An. His blade dropped down to touch the floor of the plaza right when the slash arrived. His pupils constricted, and his blade moved to clash with the sword slash. There was a bang, and the blade shattered. Countless wounds appeared across Wei An’s entire body. While he was able to endure the attack and remain standing, Wei An had a similar appearance to Liu Shaoqiu in that there was no part of his body that remained intact, and his weapon had shattered.

Such a sudden reversal left countless people stunned.

Hen Xin suddenly stepped forward. He was staring at someone who was standing just outside the plaza, clearly startled. "Lu Yin?"

The Semi-Progenitor was not alone, as many people had instantly recognized Lu Yin. His sudden move came as an earth-shattering news.
