Chapter 969: SCR Summit, External Blessing Claims Victory

Paragon of Sin

"He killed himself?" A Star Core Phase cultivator blankly commented with a bewildered question. Lin Ming had rushed to his death right before their eyes! In their opinion, he should've just surrendered against such impossible odds. What a pity! Spiritual Flames were worse than typical flames, as they affected the mind, body, and spirit. It was a horrible way to go.

But just as everyone's heart accepted Lin Ming's foolish demise, ready to move on to the next challenge in hopes of success, a resplendent nine-colored light breached parts of the raging spiritual flames! Beams of light escaped from certain parts, forming brilliant pillars of light, and the Lesser Starlord Entity readied their battle-axe with a stance.

With a heavy swing of this axe, a world-ending wave of fire force was unleashed towards the spiritual flames! The stage showed faint signs of melting from the intense heat.

WOOSH!

The entire stage became the physical reflection of a burning hell! Yet, the nine-colored light kept exiting from every angle as endless pillars! They reached for miles, crashing against the thin transparent barrier protecting the inverted crowd.

"Look!"

「Divine Elemental Way: Strike of the Nine Worlds!」

A streak of nine-colored light violently pierced through the spiritual flames and astral flames, parting it like a legendary myth, revealing a figure emanating rays of white elemental light. With a calm expression, the figure arrived before the Entity within a mere few feet, and holding their spear, violently thrusting at the Entity's chest!

The Lesser Starlord Entity wasn't slow in reacting. It had dozens of counterattacks, but just as it was about to initiate its various moves, a burst of spiritual light shot from the Aegis of the Elements, and it was transfixed on spot for the briefest of moments!

Fixed Soul Spell!

The delay was enough for the spear to run the Entity through. It wasn't a genuine Starlord; it lacked a genuine Astral Physique. As such, it lacked sufficient defensive power of its body. Furthermore, the erected fire-attributed astral ward forged by its tremendous power was doused on contact, allowing the spear to directly bypass its defenses! These series of circumstances allowed the white spear to pierce into the Entity without hindrance.

"Ha!" With a powerful shout containing all his strength, Lin Ming poured copious amounts of elemental origin force into the Origin Spear in an unrestrained manner, and then twisted its shaft, letting all that built-up power explode!

BOOM!!!

The spiritual flames and astral flames instantly dispersed to the edges of the stages, replaced by gushing white light of gorgeous radiance. The eyes of the audience were tethered to this event.

Did he…

Did he succeed?

It didn't take long for the stage to clear up of light and flames, revealing an unharmed Lin Ming with robes fluttering in the clearing chaos while surrounded by elemental light. For a moment, he resembled a hero of legends, a myth of the immortal world, and a talent of the utmost brilliance in the eyes of spectators. With his handsome appearance and eyes exuding exceptional self-confidence, his innate bearing and exceptional aura were witnessed by everyone! A wave of awe, disbelief, and surprise swept the crowd.

The sight of his grey eyes and upright posture was an image that was unlikely to ever disappear from their minds in a lifetime. The name 'Lin Ming' would be forever etched into their Sea of Consciousness.

A Gravity Emission Phase expert defeating a Lesser Starlord alone was a feat that was unprecedented in all of recorded history! Even Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei's fight paled in comparison, while Na Xinyi's limelight diminished considerably.

For a moment, it was as if they were watching a Chosen of the heavens! Who was this kid? The Archaic Chosen?!

"Is this the true standard of an elite Chosen?" Awe swept the hearts of all these elderly figures, feeling abnormally emotional, and accepting that the next generation had surpassed them. Shockingly though, there were barely any bitter feelings, and mostly anticipatory thoughts of this new upcoming era defined by the next generation.

New novels chapters are published ᴏn !

What height will they reach?

Lin Ming lifted his gaze as the scattered remnants of the Entity lay around him. He saw Lin Xianxei and Bai Yuxi, his eyes extremely emotional. Then, with steady steps, he walked towards the Void Gate. The Main Hall awaited him. Moreover, he needed to learn more about the voice!

When he entered the Void Gate, the discussions grew animated and filled with passion.

"Didn't he say he used a different method to form his Domain Seed? I wonder what it was!"

"Find out everything about this True Element Sect's Archaic Chosen. We might have found the future top expert of the upcoming era."

"Archaic Chosen? How is that name remotely fitting? He's bound to leave the old in the dust! No, he already has!"

No one had predicted this would happen. A Gravity Emission junior defeating a Lesser Starlord Entity! Unbelievable!

In one particular corner of the audience, the grey-robed figure lifted his hood to reveal its scarlet eyes, staring at the Void Gate that Lin Ming entered. Those eyes of it contained a wisp of carnage that felt heart-shaking, infused with a savage intensity. With a low and cold voice, the figure whispered:

"Pathetic."

Then, as if knowing of Lin Ming's secret, lowered its eyes that flickered with pure disdain.

Within the Main Hall, Su Mei, Xue Yifei, Wu Baozhai, and Na Xinyi all observed Lin Ming's outstanding victory. Su Mei carried the lightest of frowns, "The Entity's powers were completely suppressed." This was her understanding of events. Somehow, Lin Ming had suppressed the Entity to the point its powers felt useless, an absolute disgrace for the Starlord name. There was no area of the battle where Lin Ming hadn't suppressed the Entity, and its Spiritual Spell was nullified by a strange power.

The fact Lin Ming remained unharmed and untouched despite being drowned by spiritual flames was enough to raise a few suspicious questions.

"A Spiritual Armament?" Na Xinyi's beautiful eyes flickered. A Spiritual Armament was an armament designed to resist or empower Spiritual Spells, increasing the effectiveness of one's Spiritual Strength or Spiritual Sense. It was absurdly rare.

Wu Baozhai chimed in, "I felt an aura resembling the Imperial Heaven Aura."

"Me too," Na Xinyi swiftly responded with Wu Baozhai's comment. They both were extremely familiar with Long Chen's Imperial Heaven Aura, and Wu Baozhai cultivated the Imperial Heaven Qi Method. The suppressive aura unleashed by Lin Ming reminded her of the Imperial Heaven Aura's power and effects. However, it was slightly different. The two all had strange expressions. As for Xue Yifei, she was merely a little interested in Lin Ming's power and existence. To her, a challenger for the upcoming era's supremacy had finally revealed themselves.

It was only Su Mei whose eyes were indifferent.

Soon, Lin Ming entered the Main Hall and felt the numerous unfathomable auras in the surroundings. His heart thumped fiercely in response. When he turned to see the four beautiful women seated on golden mats nearby, Lin Ming relaxed slightly. There was a fifth mat near them, clearly meant for him.

Suddenly, Wu Baozhai and Na Xinyi's eyes flickered with confusion as they turned their eyes away from Lin Ming and towards the screen!

"Sister Yu?"

SHATTER!

The excitement brewing induced a series of new inspired challengers. They were raring to go and prove themselves! And yet again, the Aeternal Sky Starfield was taking the lead! And it was one of the Noble Clans!
