A nearby expert drew his sword, but the minute he did, a finger flicked the sword out of his grasp before a fist pierced his chest in an instant!

  ****

  Zhanshi Yong and the others were shocked.

  Long Di instantly killed a cultivator with seemingly no effort. In addition, there was zero hesitation in his actions. His eyes didn’t even flinch at the act. As if what he did was no big deal.

  The others who surrounded him a while ago immediately backed off. The power disparity was obvious at a glance.

  Long Di’s physical body was many times stronger than his peers at the same level. He cultivated his physical body to the peak cauldron forging level.

  When referring to spiritual cultivators, even if his opponent was in the next realm as a core formation expert, unless they erected their qi armour in time, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from him.

  This was one of the advantages a body cultivator had over a spiritual cultivator. One had to erect their shield whilst the other’s body was their shield.

  Long Di was even more freakish, as his body was stronger than other body cultivators at the same cultivation level!

  He flashed the blood off his hand before commenting. “If you draw a weapon against me, I’ll take it as you wanting to kill me. Don’t do something like that if you’re not willing to stake your life on it.”

  The spectators agreed with this statement, but Long Di’s unexpected killing of that expert still shook them.

  “Who are you really?” Zhanshi Yong realised that this was an expert, a true expert!

  He wanted Long Di to reveal his sect and background. There was no way this could be an unknown expert.

  “Just a nameless person. Now give me the fruit or I’ll take it from you.”

  “You think just because you were able to kill him that you can do the same to me!?” Zhanshi Yong’s expression twisted.

  Long Di ceased talking and reached for the box that was on the table.

  “Brat!”

  D-D-D-Dum!

  Zhanshi Yong was enraged at being ignored.

  His cauldrons emerged with a bang. Eight of them were red, whilst one was actually orange.

  “A-A supreme-grade cauldron!”

  The bystanders were shocked that Zhanshi Yong possessed a supreme-grade cauldron. This was not something that just anyone was able to do.

  It must have taken a mountain of resources to do so!

  “Look at his core, it’s so pure!” One person said after seeing the lone core embedded in its cauldron. It wasn’t exactly see-through, but its purity couldn’t be denied.

  “This kid is dead for sure!” A genius commented.

  “Yeah! Zhanshi Yong will flay him for being so arrogant!” Another agreed, revelling in Long Di’s misfortune.

  It was no secret that Zhanshi Yong was far stronger than the cultivators who were flattering him earlier.

  So even though Long Di killed one without much trouble, it was when the latter didn’t expect it, dimming its impressiveness.

  Whoosh!

  A powerful wind kicked up as Zhanshi Yong drove his cultivation technique!

  “World E-”

  Bam!

  Before he could release his attack, the broadside of a sabre smashed into his face with a terrible force which sent him flying.

  Crap!

  A hush fell over the crowd as no one expected what just happened to happen.

  Wasn’t Zhanshi Yong awe-inspiring a while ago? What just happened?

  Long Di expressionlessly held the sabre in his hand as he took up the brocade box. He slightly opened it and a dark aura erupted before he closed it back with a click.

  Everyone else wondered what thing was in the brocade box that possessed such an aura.

  He sighed to himself. “Greed is such an ugly thing.”

  “Di Long!” Zhanshi Yong shot up from where he landed before his rage exploded! His expression was twisted into one of malice and contempt!

  Staring at him, Long Di couldn’t help himself from saying. “But not the ugliest thing…”

  Even though this was said quietly, everyone still heard it causing some of them to smile and others to even laugh.

  Several of his teeth were missing and one side of his head was lopsided. It seemed that Long Di’s blow had shattered his jaw, causing the shape of his head to look funny.

  Zhanshi Yong’s rage grew when he saw that he was being mocked. His murderous intent skyrocketed.

  When Long Di felt the killing intent, his eyes slightly narrowed.

  Krrrsh!

  Lightning started flowing from his sabre in an unending stream, its power caused the top of Zhanshi Yong’s scalp to tingle.

  Long Di had effortlessly branded his spiritual mark on the Thunder Dragon Rhino for some time now granting him full control of its power.

  Its spiritual fluctuations could clearly be felt from far away. This was not something that just anyone could face off against.

  Zhanshi Yong both felt and knew this and recalled his cauldrons. He took out a vial of pills and tried to down one, but his broken jaw rendered this harder than normal.

  As a result, he had to force it down as his spiritual qi alone wouldn’t help in healing his injuries. The destructive nature of lightning plagued him and caused him unbearable pain.

  The medicinal effect of the pill soon took effect and went to work on healing his injuries. While he used his spiritual qi to suppress the destructive intent, splitting the work where necessary.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  “Tch! Consider yourself tough!” Zhanshi Yong turned around to leave. He knew he couldn’t win, so there was no choice in staying here for further humiliation.

  Unfortunately, he didn’t get far before a voice stopped him in his tracks.

  ‘Where do you think you’re going?”

  He turned around to see Long Di staring at him.

  “W-What do you want!?” A bad feeling arose in his heart.

  Long Di took a step forward. “Did I not say that I would beat you up for what you did, regardless? Do you think that you can just do what you did without any consequences?”

  Saying this, then turned his gaze to the side where Xiannu Liang had Sun Zixin leaning on the wall while she healed him.

  “I’m guessing he’s alive?” Long Di asked.

  Xiannu Liang’s expression was serious. She gave him a slow nod. This let Long Di know that while he was alive, it didn’t look good.

  Long Di’s mood fell. He was alive, but the injuries were severe. He had faith in Xiannu Liang’s healing abilities. Nevertheless, this all went to show how heavy-handed this Zhanshi Yong was with his methods.

  “You’ll pay for this.” Long Di announced calmly.

  “Don’t go too far!” Zhanshi Yong yelled.

  Long Di cocked his head to the side. “You nearly killed Sun Zixin, and you’d lash out at me for going too far when I haven’t even started yet?”

  “That’s an insignificant mortal!” Zhanshi Yong pointed in the direction of Sun Zixin. “I am a cultivator and the personal disciple of the sect master of Myriad World Ravine, a top sect!”

  “Try not to die,” was all that Long Di replied with.

  Zhanshi Yong trembled in rage. This Long Di wanted to beat him up for a mortal!? He considered him to be the same worth as a mortal!?

  How could a genius like him bear such an insult!?

  “I’ll fight it out with you!”

  Zhanshi Yong channelled his energy and re-summoned his cauldrons!

  His power raged even more intensely than before. He didn’t have the confidence to take down Long Di because of the sabre the latter wielded, but he would try his best all the same.

  Surprisingly, Long Di put away the sabre, shocking him.

  His eyes widened in surprise at this development. Did this Long Di underestimate him?

  The former could win without too much trouble with that spiritual artefact.

  However, he didn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and sneered at Long Di’s foolishness.

  “World’s Ender!”

  Following Zhanshi Yong’s roar, he raised his hands and grabbed empty space before it brought it down with a crushing force!

  Instantly, everyone felt as if the world itself tilted slightly in the direction that Zhanshi Yong brought it!

  “This is one of the signature techniques of Myriad World Ravine!” One person who was familiar with Myriad World Ravine said.

  Those who were closer felt the world caving in on them to end itself and them with it!

  They quickly backed off to escape the area of effect. However, the world-twisting effect still affected them.

  This was an incredible attack that would land on its victim, regardless!

  They focused to see how his opponent would handle this.

  However, what they saw next caused them to widen their eyes in shock!

  Long Di was simply taking a walk towards Zhanshi Yong!

  It was almost like Zhanshi Yong’s attack wasn’t taking place!

  Long Di did feel a crushing blow affecting him, but that was it. Actually, it was far-fetched to even call it a crushing force.

  To him, it felt like cushions enveloping him from all sides. Like pillows slapping him in waves.

  “Who told you I wanted a pillow fight?”

  Zhanshi Yong nearly vomited blood in anger!

  Who the hell wanted a pillow fight with you!?

  Your mother wants a pillow fight!!

  Long Di didn’t slow down or speed up, he took his time walking towards Zhanshi Yong. Long Di was a five-star-core martial master. He didn’t even have to call out his cauldrons to construct a qi shield strong enough to ward off Zhanshi Yong’s attack.

  At this point, it was no different from bullying the young generation. Ah, to be an overachiever.

  This was also why he took back in his sabre. If he used it, Zhanshi Yong would be killed much too easily and quickly.

  Zhanshi Yong naturally saw his attack wasn’t affecting him in any way and quickly switched his technique.

  He formed hand seals before howling. “One World!”

  Rumble!

  Suddenly, the ground shook as a giant sphere appeared above Long Di. The latter looked at this sphere and was able to see an entire world in this sphere.

  He could see mortals going about their daily lives, cultivators pursuing the dao, auspicious beasts flying through the heavens and more.

  Everyone else saw this as well and marvelled at the profundity of this technique.

  “This is another defining technique of the World Myriad Ravine,” an expert on the side stated.

  Another then chimed in asking. “I wonder how far Zhanshi Yong’s attainment in this technique has gotten?”

  One World then descended on Long Di, intending to levigate him!

  Long Di simply raised one hand in response.

  “Is he mad!?”

  This action shocked the peanut gallery since Long Di had a better chance of handling this by countering the move with an attack of his own or even trying his best to evade, though the scale rendered the latter the less likely of the options.

  Regardless, the last thing they expected Long Di to do was to hold a hand out like he was a child taking candy from a stranger in a white windowless van.

  Yet the following scene rendered them speechless.

  Bam!

  A deafening blast echoed as One World landed on his palm and was unable to go any further.

  Even more astonishing was that Long Di neither slowed nor sped up his travel. He walked at the same pace. It looked no different from taking a stroll in the park.

  He walked forward while holding the world up.

  Many female cultivators blushed upon seeing his matchless performance. Shen Ling was the same as Long Di truly appeared heroic and unbeatable.

  Mina nodded, seemingly satisfied, expecting nothing less from Long Di.

  “Ten Worlds!”

  Zhanshi Yong drove his technique further and created another nine spheres, which then transformed into nine worlds as well.

  Once this was done though, the One World lost most of its features, leaving only some mortals visible within and not much else.

  Nevertheless, their combined power was far above the One World he unleashed before. They then stacked on the One World that Long Di held.

  B-B-B-B-B-Bam!

  A terrible explosion erupted from the point where the weight of Ten Worlds centred!

  Once the scene cleared up, everyone was shocked to see Long Di non-changing in his actions.

  Ta, ta, ta, ta…

  Step by step, he got closer to Zhanshi Yong. One hand, one hand was all he needed to hold up Ten Worlds.

  “No cauldrons…” someone finally said in a trembling voice.

  “It’s true!”

  “Oh, my god!”

  People were shocked to see that this entire time, Long Di hadn’t summoned his cauldrons.

  This meant that he wasn’t even using fifty percent of his strength.

  “How did we never hear the name of Di Long before!?”

  “And he’s so young!”

  Discussions cropped up in the face of Long Di’s display!

  “Who the hell can beat this guy!?”

  “Probably only the Seven Heroes can match him.” One person tried to gauge the extent of Long Di’s power.

  Another went a level higher and said. “Maybe it’ll need the intervention of the Five Nobles.”

  “No way! Those are existences from some of the ten great sects. There is no way that this Di Long can compare to them!”

  “But the Seven Heroes are from the ten great sects as well.” Another person said.

  “Yes, but the Five Nobles are the absolute apex of existence from the great sects. The Seven Heroes are powerful, yes, but they are not as powerful as the Five Nobles, and this Di Long is the same. Not enough to reach the apex!” That person concluded.

  …

  A cultivator on a rooftop who was observing the battle asked. “What do you think young noble?”

  “I believe Master is needed to take this person down.”
