Huang Tianlin’s pupils contracted.
"How is this possible?"
The next moment, the dragon-shaped spear light shattered completely.
The remaining crimson sword light passed through the explosion and struck Huang Tianlin’s body. At the same time, Soul Sword Control Art descended from every direction, forcing him to take the full impact.
Bang!
Huang Tianlin was sent flying backward.
Silence filled the venue.
The final battle was over.
Li Yun stood among the drifting dust with his sword in hand. His breathing was slightly heavy, but his eyes remained calm and sharp.
He had defeated the Wine Monk with the combination of seventy percent Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent and the eighth stage of Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture, Undying Origin Body.
Against Huang Tianlin, he had used the same foundation, but added Soul Sword Control Art and the full power of his renewed Slow Sword.
In the end, even Huang Tianlin’s True Dragon Battle Body and Imperial Dragon Suppresses the World had been broken.
For several breaths, no one spoke.
Then the entire assembly erupted.
"Li Yun won."
"He defeated the Wine Monk, then Huang Tianlin."
"He is the champion of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly."
"From today onward, Li Yun’s name will shake the entire Northern Territory."
The Wine Monk, Huang Tianlin, Luo Zhenting, Man Cang, Xie Wushang, Old Ghost Wei, and Absolute Sword Path.
One powerful genius after another had stood before him.
But in the end, all of them had fallen.
Li Yun had claimed first place.
The championship of the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly now belonged to him.
"Unbelievable. The final winner was not Huang Tianlin, nor Luo Zhenting, nor any of the previously favored contenders, but Li Yun."
"This dark horse was truly dark to the very end. He went all the way and directly seized the championship of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly."
"Who could have imagined that a mere 2nd level Heavenly Core Realm youngster, a previously unknown rising star, could continuously create miracles and claim the top spot in this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly?"
"More importantly, the overall strength of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly was not weak. It was exceptionally strong. Prodigies like Luo Zhenting, the Wine Monk, Xie Wushang, and Man Cang could have easily taken first place in previous assemblies."
"With so many top-tier geniuses gathered in one assembly, breaking through the competition and winning the championship under such circumstances is truly remarkable."
This outcome left everyone deeply shocked and filled with emotion.
If someone had claimed before the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly began that Li Yun could win the championship, no one would have believed it. In fact, anyone saying such a thing would have been considered insane.
But now, the ironclad fact was right before their eyes, forcing them to accept it.
Even formidable figures like the Wine Monk, a reincarnation of a great being, and Huang Tianlin, who had long been renowned and was even considered a future contender for the top spot on the Star Ranking, had all fallen and been defeated by Li Yun.
It was no exaggeration to say that very soon, the name Li Yun would spread throughout the entire Northern Territory.
He would transform from an unknown nobody into a legendary genius renowned across the Northern Territory.
Perhaps, in just ten or twenty years, he could enter the Star Ranking and become the true leading figure of the younger generation in the Northern Territory, representing it in competition against the top geniuses from the other four territories.
"Heroes truly emerge from the young."
On the side of the Golden Lotus Buddhist Kingdom, an old monk sighed with emotion.
Although the Wine Monk was the reincarnation of the Wheel-Turning Holy King Buddha, his awakening had been too brief. Losing to a prodigy like Li Yun was not unjust.
"What a pity that such a genius has fallen into the hands of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect."
On the side of the Profound Sovereign Dynasty, a middle-aged man in a golden python robe sighed softly. He looked at Li Yun as if he were looking at an unpolished piece of peerless jade.
As for Li Yun defeating Huang Tianlin, he did not particularly mind.
As the youngest and most beloved son of the Profound Sovereign Emperor, and as someone with exceptional aptitude, Huang Tianlin’s journey had been too smooth.
Suffering some setbacks at the right time was not necessarily a bad thing.
He had confidence in Huang Tianlin.
He believed this battle would not cause Huang Tianlin to sink into despair. Instead, it would fully ignite his potential and allow him to shine even brighter.
"This kid has truly given me an enormous surprise."
On the side of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, Elder Bai Jing smiled happily
Undeniably, Li Yun’s rise had brought him immense joy.
Such a genius, barring any accidents, was destined to become a titled king in the future. With Li Yun present, Sword Peak would securely maintain its position at the top among the Six Main Peaks of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect for decades to come.
"Elder Bai, you really hit the jackpot this time."
The leading elders from the other peaks all looked at Li Yun with envy.
This was especially true for the elder from Saber Peak, who could barely stop himself from wanting to slap the smug smile off Elder Bai Jing’s face.
Of course, while some admired and praised him, others were naturally displeased.
"Hmph."
On the side of the Myriad Demon Dao Sect, the skeletal old man snorted coldly. His murky eyes burst with intense killing intent as he stared at Li Yun.
Although the relationship between the Myriad Demon Dao Sect and the Profound Origin Immortal Sect was not especially bad, it was not good either. Naturally, he did not want to see the Profound Origin Immortal Sect produce such a genius.
"A genius, hmph. A dead genius is no longer a genius."
He sneered coldly and muttered, "Luo Zhenting is one thing, but this Li Yun absolutely cannot be allowed to live. If there is a chance, we must kill him."
"Damn it."
In the elimination seats, Yun Canglan’s handsome face was almost completely twisted.
Li Yun’s strength filled him with jealousy, while also stirring fear and unease in his heart.
After all, he had previously sent assassins after Li Yun. The enmity between them was already irreconcilable. If Li Yun grew stronger, he would inevitably threaten Yun Canglan’s life.
Not only Yun Canglan, but Old Ghost Wei, Xie Yanluo, and the others defeated by Li Yun also wore extremely unpleasant expressions.
Some admired him.
Some praised him.
Some hated him.
Some felt unwilling.
But regardless of everyone’s thoughts, the final outcome of the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly would not change.
Li Yun becoming first in this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly was already a settled matter.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Elder Qing’s figure appeared above the arena.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the barrier surrounding the arena dissipated.
He waved his sleeve again, and immediately, Li Yun, Huang Tianlin, and the other seventy-two cultivators were enveloped in a soft light. All of them appeared before him at the same time.
"I declare that this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly has come to an end."
Elder Qing announced, "Next, we will begin awarding the prizes for this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly."
