Chapter 604: Exceptionally Dominant

"Senior, what is Zhong Shan's cultivation?" Jing Xueshen whispered, frowning.

Though Jing Xueshen's voice was low, the three Heavenly Extreme realm experts in the hall behind him heard it clearly.

"Imperial Extreme realm, Tenth Level," Gui Shou answered.

There was no other voice in the hall, implying the others agreed with Gui Shou's assessment.

Imperial Extreme realm, Tenth Level?

With this confirmation, Jing Xueshen smirked at Zhong Shan. He really was at the Tenth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm? Such audacity! Did he think he could bluff them with such cultivation? Such boldness was why Shen Ya Daojun was so determined to eliminate him!

But now that they knew his true strength, no matter how eloquent he was, he could not change his fate today.

"I am Jing Xueshen! Today is a grand wedding for the Longevity Realm. Zhong Shan, as an emperor, why have you come to disrupt it? Do you seek enmity with the Longevity Realm?" Jing Xueshen stepped forward and shouted.

With Jing Xueshen speaking, the others remained silent.

"Jing Xueshen? Hmph, are you the one who ambushed Qingsi and sealed her cultivation?" Zhong Shan stared sharply at Jing Xueshen.

Seeing Zhong Shan maintain his demeanor despite being at the Imperial Extreme realm, Jing Xueshen felt annoyed.

"So what if I did?" Jing Xueshen retorted.

"That's all I need to know," Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold, as if looking at a dead man.

"Will you come to your death, or shall I come to you?" Zhong Shan brandished his blade.

"Ha ha ha ha ha～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

Jing Xueshen burst into wild laughter.

"Facing death, you are still so arrogant. You came here alone, and even I alone am enough to make sure you never return!" Jing Xueshen laughed.

Jing Xueshen's disdain was justified. Imperial Extreme realm, Tenth Level? Jing Xueshen himself was at the Eighth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm! The gap was absolute. The outcome of such a clash was beyond doubt.

Laughing, Jing Xueshen floated down from the Chao Tian Hall.

With a wave from Bing Xuan, all the soldiers retreated to a distance.

Jing Xueshen believed he could handle this on his own.

All eyes were on the square. Countless soldiers, the commoners outside the sacrificial square, the three Heavenly Extreme realm experts in the Chao Tian Hall, the Longevity Realm members at the hall's entrance, and Bei Qingsi—all watched Zhong Shan with different emotions.

Among them, only Bei Qingsi worried for Zhong Shan.

Jing Xueshen, clad in white, floated down slowly, not even bothering to draw a weapon.

Because Jing Xueshen knew that in the face of absolute power, all wisdom was meaningless. Zhong Shan was just an Imperial Extreme realm expert. Even at the Tenth Level, he was still just an Imperial Extreme realm expert. Before the gap of the Imperial Extreme realm, he was nothing more than a child.

"Are you coming down to die?" Zhong Shan asked with a strange smile.

Had no one told him about my strength? When I was at the Fifth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm, I defeated Prince Chong Tian. Had no one informed Jing Xueshen? Is he really coming down to die?

Jing Xueshen hadn't heard of the incident with Prince Chong Tian; otherwise, he would have never stepped down. Prince Chong Tian's cultivation was comparable to, if not stronger than, his own.

"Hmph? Seeking death? A mere Imperial Extreme realm dares to speak such arrogant words. Your reputation in Divine Continent is indeed grand, but it's all about your intelligence. In the face of absolute strength, intelligence means nothing. Today is your death day. In front of everyone here, I won't bully you; I'll let you make three moves!" Jing Xueshen arrogantly declared.

Jing Xueshen's arrogance sealed his fate. Allowing Zhong Shan three moves? If the topmost Imperial Extreme realm expert said that, it might not mean much, but for Jing Xueshen to say it?

Zhong Shan looked at Jing Xueshen not with hatred but with a peculiar and bizarre expression. Letting him have three moves?

Moreover, Jing Xueshen's loud proclamation spread all around, even reaching the commoners outside the sacrificial square.

The people watched eagerly, excited for the next scene, whether or not it matched their expectations. The thrilling moment had begun.

Zhong Shan wasted no words. He drew his long blade.

"Celestial Rule! Hundred and Twenty Waves!"

Zhong Shan drew his blade in response to Jing Xueshen's challenge, slashing down fiercely. As the blade descended, a thousand-zhang long blade aura emerged, carrying an unstoppable force toward Jing Xueshen. The "Hundred and Twenty Waves" technique could even shake space—a supreme strike that had once suppressed Prince Chong Tian, even when he was fully prepared.

As the terrifying blade descended, nearly all onlookers' mouths formed an 'o' shape in astonishment.

Locked in by the terrifying blade aura, Jing Xueshen's expression changed drastically. Gone was his earlier composure. In a panic, he hurriedly drew a long sword to meet the attack.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

The strongest collision of blade and sword resounded.

The terrifying impact forced Jing Xueshen down a meter into the ground, and the force he diverted caused massive spiderweb cracks to appear in the earth. Countless rocks were sent flying.

Around the square, nearly everyone felt the ground shake, almost causing them to fall. Numerous buildings collapsed, and the distant commoners felt a dull pain in their eardrums.

Everyone from the Longevity Realm was drenched in cold sweat. Was this really the Imperial Extreme realm?

Inside the swirling smoke, Jing Xueshen's state was pitiful. Zhong Shan's strike was too powerful. In his haste, Jing Xueshen couldn't muster his full strength. His well-refined eighth-grade treasure sword now lay dim and dull. Most of his clothes were blasted apart, exposing skin covered in countless lacerations. Blood poured from his wrist, and blood trickled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Jing Xueshen's eyes widened in disbelief. Was this really the Tenth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm? Go to hell! This was the Tenth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm? An uncontrollable fear gripped his heart. He felt an overwhelming frustration; if he hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't be in this state.

The moment Zhong Shan's powerful strike took effect, the three Heavenly Extreme realm experts inside the Chao Tian Hall simultaneously opened their eyes and stood up, shocked. How could this be?

They couldn't be mistaken. Under their divine senses, Zhong Shan's cultivation was indeed only at the Tenth Level of the Imperial Extreme realm. But that strike just now?

As the three were still in shock, Gui Shou's eyes widened in realization.

"Not good!" Gui Shou shouted, turning to rush outside.

Chapter 604: Exceptionally Dominant (Continued)

Outside, Zhong Shan's second strike followed closely.

"Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Art, Sixth Level!"

"Celestial Rule! Three Hundred Waves!"

Zhong Shan's eyes glowed with intensity as he swung his great blade, "Nightmare," once more.

Locked onto Jing Xueshen, there was no escape! This powerful strike created far more significant space ripples than the previous one, slashing towards Jing Xueshen with unstoppable force.

If the earlier ripples were like a pebble tossed into a pond, this was akin to a boulder crashing into it.

The terrifying momentum bore down on Jing Xueshen, who watched in utter horror. He had never imagined Zhong Shan could be this powerful. Jing Xueshen's earlier arrogance had turned into regret and despair.

At this moment, even if Jing Xueshen could counterattack with all his might, it seemed futile. He could only unleash his strongest secret technique in a desperate bid for survival, praying that the three Heavenly Extreme realm experts inside Chao Tian Hall would save him.

As Jing Xueshen faced the devastating blade, he felt a wave of regret. If there were a next time, he vowed never to underestimate his opponent. But would there be a next time?

Gui Shou had rushed out to save Jing Xueshen, and seeing this, Nu Qinghui and Wuhuan felt reassured. But in the next moment, both widened their eyes in shock.

Gui Shou suddenly stopped in his tracks. In front of him, a figure in a black robe appeared out of thin air, blocking his path.

Gui Shou was taken aback because he realized the figure before him exuded an aura similar to his own.

A Heavenly Extreme realm expert?

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～"

Zhong Shan's "Celestial Rule! Three Hundred Waves!" struck Jing Xueshen.

The impact was even more devastating than the previous strike, shaking the entire Ice Seal City.

Countless onlookers watched, their eyes drawn to Zhong Shan's blade. This one strike captured everyone's attention.

The blade's path left six remaining palaces in the sacrificial square, the rest reduced to rubble. A cloud of dust shrouded Zhong Shan, and when it cleared, Jing Xueshen's presence had vanished. All that remained was a deep chasm, a canyon-like scar on the earth, stretching a thousand zhang long. Near it lay a broken sword and a pool of blood.

Zhong Shan's strike was overpowering! Almost everyone gasped in shock.

Staring at Zhong Shan, who was poised with his blade in mid-air, the crowd gulped in fear. Zhong Shan's dominant image was deeply imprinted in their minds, their hearts racing. Only Bei Qingsi showed pure joy on her face.

After the strike, silence reigned. People were stunned by Zhong Shan's overwhelming strength and noticed an unusual scene to the east of Chao Tian Hall.

An elderly man with white hair and white robes hovered in the air, facing off against a figure cloaked in black robes. The tension between them was palpable.
