Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 151

Yan Chutian enlarged as a golden spear surged towards him. Even Yan Chutian himself had to admit that such a spiritual attack was enough to threaten him.

But threats are one thing, and being able to fight is another. He had painstakingly prepared for a long time, so how could he be stopped so easily!

Silently taking a deep breath, Yan Chutian slowly raised his face. As he raised his face, the movements of his hands suddenly changed. Wads of Mysterious Flame Qi continued to flow from his body into his right arm, and finally gathered on his right palm.

This was the rhythm before Yan Chutian used the Mysterious Flame Finger. Previously, Yan Chutian used the Mysterious Flame Finger with great difficulty, and his body would suffer many injuries. But now, he was using it again, and it was much easier since he had broken through to the Elixir Realm, and his physique had been forged into an actual Tier 2 Mysterious Fire Body!

The rich Mysterious Flame Qi continued to gather, and finally, at a certain point, it seemed to have reached its peak. At this moment, Yan Chutian's entire right palm shone with a dazzling golden light.

The next instant, he suddenly roared and pointed two fingers at his right palm!

"Mysterious Fire Dance!"

"Buzz!"

Simultaneously with a roar, an inexplicable fluctuation exploded in an instant, quickly spreading in the air, and rushing towards the golden spear.

However, compared to the golden spear, the momentum of Yan Chutian's Mysterious Flame Finger was too weak. Even through the curtain of spiritual light, the disciples around the square were unable to detect it if they did not pay attention.

Only elders or deacons with high cultivation could see it clearly. However, separated by distance, they did not know how powerful Yan Chutian's spiritual technique was, and they could not judge his strength.

In short, in the eyes of many disciples who thought that the outcome of the battle was already decided, the invisible Mysterious Flame Finger finally collided with the golden spear.

The collision of the two attacks did not cause any shocking movements. The two collided silently, and then an invisible fluctuation seemed to be crushed by the golden spear.

This made more disciples shake their heads and sigh. They feel that the truth is what they think it is. When using the golden spear, how could Yan Chu, who was only a Tier 1 Elixir Realm expert, reject it?

However, they, who thought they knew everything, did not realize that the owner of the golden spear, Zhou Xuan, had a slight change in expression several tens of feet behind the golden spear. He stared intently at the golden spear as if he had seen an extremely extraordinary sight.

Without making everyone wait for long, the huge golden spear that seemed to have shattered Yan Chutian's attack shook violently, and an ear-piercing crack sound suddenly echoed from the spear filled with light.

Even though his voice was very soft, how could many people who noticed him miss it? Especially in the next moment, a thick crack spread rapidly across the body of the spear, covering the entire golden battle spear in just a few breaths!

"How ... how is this possible?"

"Golden spear …"

"I must've seen it wrong, no way!"

Countless cries sounded one after another as cracks spread out. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep shock. They could not imagine how the golden spear, which easily destroyed Yan Chu's attack, would be destroyed at this moment.

Not to mention them, even many elders on high platforms had changes to their skin. Among them, the one who reacted the most was Elder Tianshan. After all, he thought that the outcome of the battle was already decided, and Zhou Xuan's victory was doomed.

But at this moment, how could the outcome of the battle be decided!

"Boom…!"

The golden spear finally exploded, turning into light spots and disappearing rapidly. However, this huge movement was much less than the huge waves that were inflicted on everyone's heart.

The force of the explosion spread. Yan Chutian and Zhou Xuan were both affected by the force of the explosion. Their bodies flew backwards, leaving marks on the ground. They only managed to stabilize the body when it reached the edge of the stage.

Just like everyone else, the power of this explosion was far from comparable to the ripples in Zhou Xuan's heart. He could not imagine that after using the Golden Spear, he actually could not gain any advantage. Instead, it's balanced!

However, it was normal when he thought about it. That should be because the forging of his Mysterious Fire Body was not enough. Second, even if it was still a second-rate Mysterious Flame Qi, the degree of condensation could be even deeper.

Back then, even though he was still a first-rate herb, he could easily suppress his opponent.

If the crowd knew what Yan Chutian was thinking at the moment, they would most likely scream in fear. This person was still unsatisfied and wanted to suppress his opponent. Isn't he too arrogant?

After the attack, Zhou Xuan was dazed. However, he is no ordinary person. The waves that had been raised in his heart quickly calmed down. He then looked at Yan Chutian again. This time, his eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness.

Even if it was hard to believe, Zhou Xuan had to admit that this man in front of him, who was only level one, had the qualifications to compare to him. Perhaps even if it was him, if he did not have his next move, he could only fight a draw with Zhou Xuan.

However, how could he not have the next move!

With a serious look, Zhou Xuan slowly raised his palm. Suddenly, an extremely heavy and arrogant aura spread from his body. It was an extremely unique power that could not be explained with words. The only thing that could be accurately explained was that Zhou Xuan, who was spreading this aura, was comparable to tier four!

"Yan Chu, even I have to admit that you are amazing to be able to fight with me to this extent. However, this will end here!"

Zhou Xuan slowly opened his mouth. A strange light appeared in his eyes. It seemed like there was a faint line appearing continuously. Strange charm lines intertwine with each other in strange ways and are condensed into a heavy ruler shape.

"The Dark Spirit Runes!"

…

When the aura around Zhou Xuan changed, countless gazes gathered in the square again. Those who knew what was going on immediately recognized what it was. Zhou Xuan displayed his own spiritual runes!

On the high platform, watching Zhou Xuan display his own spiritual runes, elder Tianshan finally calmed down. Spirit Runes were the greatest advantage of an elixir realm cultivator, especially when faced with cultivators who did not condense spirit runes.

Therefore, in his opinion, no matter how good Yan Chu was, he could not possibly be Zhou Xuan's opponent.

At the same time, Han Chen's face also became worried. He knew that spirit runes were Yan Chutian's greatest weakness. Now that Zhou Xuan was showing his own spiritual rune strength, even if Yan Chutian could resist, he would be in a very difficult situation.

Not only Han Chen, but everyone who had a good relationship with Yan Chutian, except Mu Wan, was also worried. Even the disciples who witnessed the battle leaned towards Zhou Xuan again. After all, according to them, no matter how strange Yan Chutian was, it was impossible for him to condense spiritual runes when he had just entered the potion stage. Therefore, how could he fight against Zhou Xuan, who displayed spirit runes?

"Zhou Xuan finally used his Dark Spirit Rune. This way, this battle will finally end, right?"

"Zhou Xuan should have used his spiritual runes a long time ago. Otherwise, why would he drag her out like this?"

"You can't say that. Yan Chu, who had just entered the Elixir Realm, was able to force Zhou Xuan, who was at the third level of the Elixir Realm, to display the power of spirit runes. It's too evil!"

Somewhere in the square, Xu Jian saw the scene in the arena and a cold smile slowly appeared on his face. Since he had also condensed spiritual runes, he naturally knew the power that spiritual runes could bring.

It was no exaggeration to say that the power of spiritual runes almost overwhelmed ordinary cultivators.

"Tsk tsk .. so what if you can jump around? After all, a top Saint is not a threshold you can reach. Accept your crushing defeat obediently."

"However, it's a pity that you didn't fall into my hands. Otherwise, you will not only receive a crushing defeat, but also despair!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Jian continued to stare at the arena with great interest. In his opinion, the scene of Yan Chu's crushing defeat would definitely make him very happy.

At the same time, on the opposite side of Zhou Xuan, Yan Chutian's expression remained calm. At the right moment, he finally muttered softly. "A spirit rune that specializes in strength?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at his palm. There were sword-shaped runes that slowly appeared, emitting an ancient and mysterious power.
