Chapter 458: Ziyan Ends It with One Punch, Venerable Yellow Spring Knows When to Submit
A stunning woman with flowing violet hair hovered above the battlefield.
Her exquisite figure was mesmerizing, rivaling even Queen Medusa's.
Each had their own unique beauty, yet both radiated an undeniable regal aura.
With just a subtle smile, this woman could capture the hearts of thousands.
But unfortunately, she never even glanced at them.
Because in her eyes, there was only one person.
She was none other than Ziyan, who had just transformed on the stage!
Ziyan's ability to take on this adult form was due to a secret technique.
While it didn't harm her body, it could only be sustained for a limited time.
After using it, she would fall into a temporary coma.
For this reason, she had never used it before.
Of course… whether or not she had used this secret technique for other special occasions, only Wu Tian and Cai Lin knew.
When Ziyan obliterated Xiao Yan with a single punch, the entire audience was left in shock.
Too powerful!
That so called Fire Lotus… even a six or seven star Dou Ancestor wouldn't have survived it unscathed.
Even Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan, despite just breaking through to Dou Ancestor, would have struggled to withstand it.
That delicate, fair fist…
Had shaken everyone to their core.
Who exactly was she?
Not even the most gifted geniuses could achieve this.
Yao Chen, observing Ziyan, began to contemplate deeply.
He had seen this girl before but had never seen her fight.
He never expected her to be this terrifying.
"Gulp."
As Ziyan's violet eyes swept across the remaining Dou Kings in the audience, they suddenly felt as if they were being watched by a primeval beast.
Cold sweat instantly ran down their backs.
"Big Sister Ziyan, you're too strong! Sister Qingluan and I surrender!"
Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan held hands and smiled in unison.
"Sisters, you're strong too! But~ we still need to deal with that annoying brat!"
Ziyan giggled as her violet gaze shifted toward Wu Tian, seated above.
Wu Tian sighed and shook his head.
He had wanted to watch these three sisters spar, but that brat Xiao Yan had ruined everything.
His talent was monstrous no wonder Yao Chen had been so eager to reach him.
If they had waited any longer, he really would have escaped his cage.
With a casual wave of his hand, Wu Tian pulled the unconscious Xiao Yan over.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, he effortlessly extracted the Heavenly Flames from Xiao Yan's body.
His actions were smooth, practiced flawless.
As if it were second nature.
The moment Yin Yang Dual Flame and Myriad Beast Spirit Flame were drawn out, Xiao Yan's face turned deathly pale.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood before his head lolled to the side, unconscious once again.
Absorbing the two new Heavenly Flames into his body, Wu Tian's power surged once more.
However, the two flames differed in potency.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame only boosted his strength by one rank.
But the Yin Yang Dual Flame…
It pushed him up by two full ranks!
This was proof Yin Yang Dual Flame held far greater energy than the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
After fully absorbing both, Wu Tian's cultivation jumped from four star Dou Venerate…
To seven star Dou Venerate!
The other Venerables watched this in disbelief.
The sudden surge in power…
In an instant, this so called "Venerable Yan" had ascended multiple levels!
"This…"
The Venerables' expressions turned grim.
For them, even gaining a single rank took decades sometimes centuries.
Yet this man…
Had advanced several ranks in mere seconds.
It was terrifying.
No wonder Yao Chen feared him so much.
No wonder he had raised Xiao Yan like livestock.
"Venerable Lei, the tournament is over. We'll forfeit the champion's reward. Let's move on to discussing what you wanted to talk about."
Wu Tian's gaze locked onto Venerable Lei.
"Uh…"
Venerable Lei's face darkened.
"Venerable Yan, it's true that my disciples were at fault, but you wiped out my Northern Pavilion. Wind Lightning Pavilion cannot ignore this. If we do, how will we maintain our reputation on the continent?"
"That's right! My disciples from Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion may have made mistakes, but you slaughtered them. I will not forgive you!"
Venerable Sword's aura surged as he locked eyes with Wu Tian.
Wu Tian remained indifferent.
Instead, he turned to the final Venerable Venerable Yellow Spring.
"Venerable Yellow Spring, what about you?"
As soon as Wu Tian's gaze landed on him, Venerable Yellow Spring's expression shifted.
Slowly, he stood up.
Under the incredulous gazes of the other two Venerables…
He cupped his fists and said,
"From this day forward, Yellow Spring Pavilion pledges allegiance to Cai Lin Pavilion!"
"What?! Yellow Spring, what do you mean?!"
Venerable Lei and Venerable Sword immediately slammed their hands on the table.
Venerable Yellow Spring remained calm.
"My dear brothers… a wise man knows when to retreat. Are you certain you can defeat Venerable Yan?"
"I, for one, know I wouldn't last a single exchange. So why bring disaster upon myself?"
Venerable Yellow Spring openly admitted his cowardice.
And yet…
No one mocked him.
Because he was absolutely right.
If they lacked the strength to fight, why throw their lives away?
And it wasn't just their lives this was about the thousands, even tens of thousands, of disciples in their Pavilion.
Venerable Yellow Spring had always been ruthless.
But when it came to his own disciples, he couldn't bear to see them perish needlessly.
Venerable Lei and Venerable Sword clenched their fists.
They knew.
Venerable Yellow Spring wasn't on par with Venerable Feng.
Even Feng would have struggled against Wu Tian so of course, Yellow Spring was even worse off.
His decision to surrender was logical.
But they were different.
Venerable Sword would never bow.
And Venerable Lei had his own trump card.
"Hmph! Our paths are different we will not cooperate!"
Venerable Sword flicked his sleeve and glared at Yellow Spring in fury.
Both he and Venerable Lei were wary.
If they fought now, they would be at a disadvantage.
Venerable Lei's gaze shifted toward the arena.
Then he turned back to Wu Tian.
"Venerable Yan, I assume you know that Feng Qing'er is my disciple. But do you also know… she is a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"
"Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"
The entire crowd gasped.
Feng Qing'er… was from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?!
But Wu Tian…
His expression remained completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Venerable Lei pressed on.
"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is one of the Three Great Magical Beast Clans. Even if all Five Pavilions united, we wouldn't compare to them. If you move against Wind Lightning Pavilion, then you "
"Shut your damn mouth!!!"
