Eternal Reverence

o enter the Primary Sea Realm, one would need to cultivate an earth class high-tier cultivation technique first.
It was a basic requirement.

In the Red Soil Continent, apart from the Red Rainbow Sect, there were no other places with earth class high-tier cultivation techniques.
Even if there was any, they would probably have been taken in by the Red Rainbow Sect.

On the third morning, the third stage of the Ranking Tournament had officially begun.

“No.7 contest stage.
No.15, Li Fuchen will go against No.16 Jiang Tian.”

As the judge’s voice echoed, Li Fuchen and Jiang Tian entered the stage together.

Jiang Tian, Limestone Martial Institution’s seeded contestant, the son of Master Ax.
(TL note: I changed Green Stone to Limestone)

Master Ax was the ranked 7th individual in the Violet Flower Kingdom’s Master Rankings.
He shared the same ranking as the Flying Snow Martial Institution’s Dean Duanmu Yao.

Master Ax had three sons, Jiang Tian was the second son and the third son was Jiang Ba who participated in Grandmaster Ever Youth’s tea party.
(TL note: Just a brief explanation.
Both Master Ax and Grandmaster Ever Youth are at the Battle Spirit Realm.
The difference in titles is because Grandmaster Ever Youth’s title is meant for his Concoction Grandmaster title)

As the son of Master Ax, Jiang Tian cultivated the earth-class mid-tier cultivation technique, Mountain Cutting Divine Technique and the earth-class high-tier martial art, Mountain Cutting 36 Axes.
He was an absolute elite among the Limestone Martial Institution’s inner institute cadets.

“Mountain Cutting 15th Ax.”

Once on the stage, Jiang Tian executed the 15th ax move of the Mountain Cutting 36 Axes.

The giant ax light had filled the entire stage and was cleaving at Li Fuchen.

“Split!”

Li Fuchen swung his sword and severed the ax light easily.

“Mountain Cutting 20th Ax!”

Jiang Tian yelled out and released a stronger ax move.

Clang!

Li Fuchen split the ax light in a single sword and pushed Jiang Tian back.

“Mountain Cutting 27th Ax!”

Jiang Tian had a grave expression as he executed the 27th ax move.

Those who comprehended the first 18 ax moves of the Mountain Cutting 36 Axes would be considered to be at the sub-perfection stage.
Those who comprehended the first 27 ax moves would be at the perfection stage.

As such, the 27th ax move was the strongest ax move that Jiang Tian could execute.
The 28th ax move would be the trance stage.

Once he cleaved with his ax, layers of ax lights rushed at Li Fuchen like raging waves.

Jiang Tian had once used this move to kill over a dozen Reincarnation Realm experts.

It was a pity that Jiang Tian’s ax art was still too immature as compared to Li Fuchen.

They were both using earth class high-tier martial art, but Li Fuchen’s Green Sun Sword intent had reached the trance stage.

A single sword thrust had disarmed Jiang Tian’s giant ax.

“Damn it.”

Jiang Tian quickly withdrew and instantly released his sharp metal divine ability.

Buzz!

From the void, a golden ax had appeared and was cleaving at Li Fuchen.

Before the golden ax arrived, the spatial zone that Li Fuchen was standing in had been suppressed by a horrific pressure.
It felt as though it was going to crush Li Fuchen’s body.

“A pure offensive divine ability?”

Li Fuchen shook his head and brandished his sword.
A resplendent sword light burst out and extinguished the golden ax.

Pfff!

Fresh blood was violently vomited as Jiang Tian was sent off the stage and had been defeated.

“Earth class high-tier sword intent?”

Many of the martial institutions’ upper echelons were looking at Li Fuchen with astonishment.

As of now, Li Fuchen was the first contestant to show an earth class high-tier martial art intent.
It was hard not to attract any attention.

“Interesting, his regular strength is rather powerful.”

Ling Yijian’s eyes stayed on Li Fuchen for a few more breaths.

With the 6-star sword dao bone frame, Ling Yijiang didn’t just have an exceptional perception that was superior to most 6-star bone frames, his sword dao comprehension was extremely fearsome too.
In terms of sword art proficiency, he believed that he wasn’t weaker than a 7-star bone frame.

Li Fuchen obviously didn’t have the sword dao bone frame but his sword art proficiency seemed to be comparable with Ling Yijian.

“Ling Yijian, your Green Cloud Sword Art should also be at the trance stage, right?” Beside him, Bai Lingshuang said indifferently.

The Green Cloud Sword Art was one of the earth class high-tier sword arts of the High Heaven Martial Institution and it was a sword art that had to be imparted.

Ling Yijian smiled but didn’t deny.
