Soaring of Galaxia
Chapter 865: Fire Kylin’s First Battle, Alluring

Clearly, Xuan Yuan Ba had given this brief speech to not rob the limelight of the participating powerhouses by singing the lead role. With a few brief remarks, he entered the main topic.

“Everyone, according to history there will be two sections of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant. The first section is the foreign powerhouse challenge and the Heavenly Emperor competition. This time, the foreign powerhouse competition is a magnificent and unprecedented event. A total of six powerhouses are participating to challenge the five powerhouses. In other words, besides the three traditional aristocratic houses, the remaining five are all within the challengeable ranking!”

This was a matter that was already announced.

Clearly, Xuan Yuan Ba did not explain any further as he kept speaking, “The Misty Sword Sect and Flowing Sound Valley challenge the Sound of Thunder Sect. The competition of these three powerhouses will be placed at the last round of the challenge. For the other four competitions, the order will be arranged through lottery. For the lottery, please have your representatives come up.”

For those four pairs, the eight representatives will enter the scene altogether. At this moment, of course everyone did not reserve themselves. Like angry fighting chickens, each of them glared at the other party with evil eyes and snorted with their noses. They were one step away from rolling up their sleeves to fight at the scene.

In fact, the order did not mean anything. Some people wanted to appear immediately while some hoped to go on the stage as late as possible. However, this lottery was arranged by the Xuan Yuan Clan. There would be no cheating.

The first round that was drawn would be between the Vase Mound House and the Hundred Lane House!

The supporter of the Vase Mound House was Xin Tianwen. The supporter of the Hundred Lane House was the Qin Clan. Of course, no one could have speculated their secret supporters.

Hu Qiurui, the Chief of the Vase Mound House cupped his hands into a salute to Bai Liguang. “Chief Bai Liguang, excuse me.”

“Excuse you for what?” Bai Liguang let out a disdainful smile. “Don’t think you can show your teeth to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates when your master gave you some benefits. Today, my Hundred Lane Clan will let all of you know that ignorance know not fear.”

Initially, Hu Qiurui wanted to show off his manner and earn some pride for the Heavenly Emperor Gate Xin Clan. After getting despised by Bai Liguang, he could not hold back as he said with a dark face, “Bai Liguang, you are sneezing like a toad, such a boastful tone! I do want to see who is the ignorant one who knows no fear.”

Bai Liguang had borrowed a Genuine Supreme Dao weapon from Qin Wushuang. Additionally, Qin Wushuang also lent Fire Kylin to the clan to fight as the honorable elder.

Therefore, they were full of trump cards.

With a cold snort, he said, “Hu Qiurui, less talk. Let’s see your true skills on the Xuan Yuan stage. I do hope your subordinates are powerful enough. It would be a tragedy if you don’t even have the chance to meet me in the third round.”

Hu Qiurui would not back down despite having reason on his side. “I also just wanted to tell you the exact same thing.”

Fortunately, at this moment the lottery on the other side had finished. Xuan Yuan Ba said with a clear voice, “For the second round, the Great Second Gate will be against the Mysterious Reform Gate. Then the Floating Snow House will battle the Heavenly Punishing Villa. Lastly, the Hundred Sword Sect will be battling the Thousand Feather Sect.”

After he finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Ba said again, “Please have the representatives of the Misty Sword Sect, Flowing Sound Valley, and Sound of Thunder Sect come for the draw!”

For this lottery, according to the weight of power, the Xuan Yuan Clan sent out three different tiered elite warriors by following the registration form. They would accompany them in the competition and form two groups.

Naturally, this draw would be drawing for opponents.

The result of the lottery was very interesting. The Misty Sword Sect drew the Sound of Thunder Sect directly. The Flowing Sound Valley drew the accompanying participants of the Xuan Yuan Clan.

It seemed as if destiny wanted the battle of the Qin and Xin Clan to come ahead of time. The Qin Clan supported the Misty Sword Sect and the Sound of Thunder Sect were the trusted aides to the Xin Clan.

For such battle, it was simply a dummy run between the Qin and Xin Clan. It was the same as the major battle between the third round participants, the Floating Snow House and the Heavenly Punishing Villa.

For example, if the Misty Sword Sect won against the Sound of Thunder Sect and the Flowing Sound Valley did not win against the Xuan Yuan warriors, the Misty Sword Sect would acquire one spot.

Also, if the Flowing Sound Valley won against the Xuan Yuan Clan, the Misty Sword Sect would fight the Flowing Sound Valley one more round! This would determine the final winner.

Regardless, the greater the number of participants, the more who would suffer some disadvantages to some extent.

When the victory of others were determined in one round, most likely they would fight two times.

This way, the lottery of the exterior challenger had completely finished.

Xuan Yuan Ba’s dignified voice emerged again, “Please have the first round participants, the Vase Mound Mountain and Hundred Lane Clan on the Xuan Yuan stage. Here are the contestants of these two houses, a total of three tiers, from low to high are…”

The Vase Mound Mountain’s third tier warrior was an elite warrior at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage. He did not appear to stand out when he came out. It was because everyone knew that almost none of the exterior powerhouses had three Supreme Dao elite warriors. It was reasonable for them to send out non Supreme Dao warriors in the third tier. The equipment and weapons would be crucial in this round.

Since the Xin Clan wanted the Vase Mound Mountain to challenge the Hundred Lane Clan, it was impossible for them to not get any trump cards.

As for the second tier and first tier of the Vase Mound Mountain, of course they would be the sealed beast soul and Hu Qiurui himself.

It was not because Xin Tianwen did not wish to send more elite warriors to Vase Mound Mountain. In fact, he had already spent all of his capital and pieced together everything he had.

When piecing together his capital, even the Heavenly Emperor Gate was matchless against Qin Wushuang, the inheritor tot the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation. Most likely, even the Xuan Yuan Clan could not match Qin Wushuang in terms of Supreme Dao weapons!

Xin Tianwen felt that with his help, plus Hu Qiurui’s own power, it would be sufficient to deal with the Hundred Lane Clan. Unexpectedly, the Hundred Lane Clan went to seek help from the Qin Clan. He never thought that the Qin Clan chose to support the Hundred Lane Clan. Of course, the matter of how Qin Wushuang completely controlled the Hundred Lane Clan and Thousand Feather Sect was not something he ever imagined.

“The third tier of the Hundred Lane Clan will be guardian divine beast Fire Kylin. Second tier participant will be Bai Litu and the first-tier participant is Bai Liguang!”

Followed by Xuan Yuan Ba’s announcement, instantly Xin Tianwen’s expression changed. The third tier was a divine beast! This way, it seemed the plan to launch a sneak attack to the Hundred Lane Clan with the third-tier participant, to win the first round would fall empty-handed.

“Fire Kylin divine beast? Daoist Tianwen, what is going on?” Divine beast Saber Beard could not help but ask with a low voice.

Xin Tianwen’s expression was extremely unsightly as he twitched the corner of his mouth. “Impossible! How can it be?”

“What?” Saber Beard asked strangely.

“Fire Kylin divine beast, is a divine beast Qin Wushuang conquered from the Endless Eastern Sea. How did the Hundred Lane Clan collude with the Qin Clan? How could the Qin Clan have such big breadth of mind?”

Xin Tianwen felt that nothing could surpass the most absurd matter of the world as of now. Feeling dryness in his throat, vividly he felt his first round plan would not be favorable. He was schemed against by the opponent.

If the Hundred Lane Clan sought help from the Qin Clan, then the Thousand Feather Sect could also sought help from the Qin Clan.

If the Vase Mound Mountain failed against the Hundred Lane Clan, then what would the Hundred Sword Sect have to win against the Thousand Feather Sect? For your information, in terms of strength, the Thousand Feather Sect was stronger than the Hundred Lane Clan!

If the two Suzerains of the Thousand Feather Sect acquired the most defying natural order weapons from Qin Wushuang, all plans made to the Hundred Sword Sect would not work.

When he spoke of the situation with Saber Beard with a low voice, Saber Beard did not find it worth stressing about. “Daoist Tianwen, this Vase Mound Mountain and Hundred Sword Sect are just foreign powerhouses. It would be best if they could win, but if not, it will not pose much influence on the general situation. As long as we seize the Heavenly Emperor seat and annihilate the Qin Clan, regardless of how much the foreign powerhouses do, you and I will rule over the final situation. Even if the Hundred Lane Clan and Thousand Feather Sect pledges loyalty to the Qin Clan, and the Floating Snow House and Misty Sword Sect went to the Qin Clan, what about it? When the Qin Clan falls, they will be rats leaving a sinking ship, we will just take our time to sort them out.”

Although these were the points, in the end Xin Tianwen was not convinced. He wanted to rule over the Heavenly Emperor Mountain situation in terms of his entire plan and not just to destroy the Qin Clan.

He said, “I refuse to believe that the Qin Clan will have that many defying weapons to lend out. Perhaps, the chance of victory of the Hundred Sword Sect and Vase Mound Mountain will not be more than fifty percent. Yet for the Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect, I refuse to believe they’ll be defeated!”

While they were whispering, the first battle of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant had already started. Fire Kylin will be fighting against Head Elder, Hu Qiuzhen of the Vase Mound Mountain.

Xin Tianwen secretly prayed, “This Hu Qiuzhen better remember my advice, to catch the other party off guard. Without a sneak attack, you will not have any chance to win when fighting a Transformation Supreme Dao divine beast.”

Originally, Saber Beard specifically gave the four trusted aides of the Xin Clan two powerful sealed beast souls each. Although they would not be on par with Saber Beard’s most powerful attack, they could resist the strongest attack of a Fifth and Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao warrior. As long as it was used well, they would have hope to beat a First or Second Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao divine beast. However, everything will depend on the impromptu performance. In case the opponent launches fierce attacks immediately, the power at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage would have slim chances of winning! Most likely, he will not have the chance to launch a sneak attack. Thus, this battle depends entirely on performance.

What made Xin Tianwen feel stirred was that the Fire Kylin was not in a rush to launch forceful attacks when the battle started. Instead, he used a wandering tactic as if alluring Hu Qiuzhen to use his trump move.

Xin Tianwen did not even consider what tricks this Fire Kylin was playing. Inwardly, he just thought, “Just do the sneak attack, use a sneak attack!”

When facing a divine beast at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, Hu Qiuzhen would be lying if he said he was not nervous. With dazzling scenes before his eyes, it seemed that only a pile of red clouds wrapped the entire Xuan Yuan stage. Hu Qiuzhen had yet to cross hands with a Supreme Dao elite warrior, not to mention a divine beast at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.

Feeling obliterated before his eyes, remembering his advice closely, he bit his teeth and grabbed the sealed beast soul with his hand. Activating the incantation and moving his hand gestures at the same time, with a crying sound, a miserable beast soul attack formed into a substantial divine gas. Appearing ferociously, it snatched at Fire Kylin.

Indeed, this momentum could match up to the strongest attack of a Supreme Dao divine beast at the Sixth Calamity.

Instantly, the monstrous presence pervaded the entire Xuan Yuan stage as a burst of miserable fog spread in all directions. Different forms of wails of ghosts and howls of wolves converged into a symphony that covered the Fire Kylin without a route to escape.

Xin Tianwen slapped his thigh and his eyes shone instantly. This Fire Kylin was digging his own grave. When being this arrogant, it would be strange if he did not die!

Unexpectedly, the changeable situation on the stage went beyond everyone’s expectation.

The situation that appeared as if controlled by Hu Qiuzhen’s strange attack suddenly took a new turn. A dramatic scene appeared.

Suddenly, that Fire Kylin was all smiles and a burst of fire light erupted from his entire body abruptly. By forming bursts of dense fire, a layer of golden rose colored cloud emitted dazzling lights from within. In between flashes, it appeared to be extremely dazzling.

“Old man Hu Qiu, your little sealed beast soul is no more than a Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao attack, can it break through my Ninth Calamity Supreme Dao armor?”

As soon as the words “Ninth Calamity Supreme Dao” were heard, Xin Tianwen almost spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Is he not intentionally trying to anger people?
