Tsing!
When the heavy black shield landed on the ground loudly, a few cracks immediately appeared.
Chu Liuyue glanced down, and her eyes shrunk a little when she saw the spreading cracks.
One had to know that even the Long Yuan Sword couldn’t leave any traces on this ground…
Previously, she had already noticed that this smooth and neat peak was different from the other peaks. The other peaks kept getting destroyed by the continuous waves of force, and even the body of this main mountain was in a state of debris.
Only this mountain peak was undamaged! However, this black shield just landed and instantly caused it to crack…
In the beginning, Chu Liuyue already faintly felt that this black shield was very mysterious, but it was even stronger than she had predicted. At this point, it indeed seemed like the case.
With this black shield’s help, the suppression Chu Liuyue felt was instantly reduced by a fair bit. This also gave her a chance to breathe.
After quickly appeasing her aura, she started thinking of what to do next. Without a doubt, Jun Jiuqing is more advantageous than me in every aspect, so it’s actually very difficult for me to take the final victory. But since I’m already here, I have to give it a try. Besides, I haven’t gotten my revenge for whatever I suffered in that chaotic space!
Chu Liuyue looked up.
The golden force surrounding Jun Jiuqing was being absorbed by him quickly.
The absorption of the force waves caused by the Three Yuan Convention depended on one’s ability. If one could absorb more force than others, they would be the winning party.
The more one absorbed, the more one could improve their strength. Of course, the cultivator’s strengths in many aspects had to be taken into consideration.
If one just greedily absorbed the force and arrogantly ignored their own limits, they would eventually be harmed, with no benefits gained at all.
Right at this moment, a small, golden peach blossom silently dropped.
Chu Liuyue almost instinctively reached out to catch that peach blossom.
The moment she saw it, she could confirm that it was the one she had previously seen in the golden light. But the moment she touched it, the peach blossom silently disappeared, forming a few rays of light that entered her palm.
A warm force rushed to her limbs and bones! The wounds she previously incurred started to recover rapidly!
Chu Liuyue was also shocked. This.. doesn’t seem like the strength within the Three Yuan Convention? But how did it appear here, and it’s even in the shape of a peach blossom…
Rumble!
Before Chu Liuyue could think these questions through, waves of force started hitting harshly again!
She glanced at her palm deeply and retracted her thoughts as she sat cross-legged and placed her hands on her knees.
The endless golden force that came down—like floodwater—from the sky wrapped around her.
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and started to absorb the surrounding force crazily.
…
The speed that Chu Liuyue absorbed the Heaven and Earth Force was very high. In no time, a golden force vortex appeared above her head.
At the same time, her bodily aura was quickly strengthened!
However, this didn’t make the spectating Mu Hongyu group rest at ease. Instead, they were even more worried.
“Why is Her Majesty absorbing the force at such a high speed?! I-it’s too dangerous! She’s still a peak stage-six warrior!” Yuwen Jinghong panicked. With this absorption speed, her body will collapse in less than 15 minutes!
But no matter how worried they were, they couldn’t get close to the main mountain. Thus, they could only watch on.
Mu Hongyu clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was also being wrenched. She pressed her lips against each other and still said with determination, “I believe she knows her limits. She can definitely do it!”
…
“You don’t know your limits!” Gongsun Yu wasn’t severely injured after he was thrown off, but he was still very indignant when he saw the scene on the mountain peak. I have nothing to say about Jun Jiuqing being left behind to inherit this strength, but what is with that Shangguan Yue? It’s fine that she suddenly barged into Ancient Phoenix Mountain, yet she still wants to fight with Jun Jiuqing? Who gave her the guts?
…
As she stared at the main mountain closely, Qing Dai treated her wounds simply with much difficulty. Why did His Highness not stop Shangguan Yue from snatching the last bit of strength? When they had a face-off previously, he clearly had the time and chance to do so…
Qing Dai bit her lips.
She had been by His Highness’s side since she was young. Though she didn’t dare to say that she knew him very well, she was still familiar with his character and could roughly guess his thoughts. He has always hated other people stealing things that belong to him. Now that Ancient Phoenix Mountain is opened, he wants to get it very badly. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be this polite to Shangguan Yue…
Thinking of the meaningful gaze he looked at her with earlier, Qing Dai felt even more uncomfortable. Does His Highness really like… that Shangguan Yue?
Thinking of this, Qing Dai unwittingly held her sleeves tightly.
…
Not only these people, but even the crowd waiting outside the barrier had seen this scene.
Everyone had different reactions.
“Shangguan Yue still went for that…” Gongsun Xiao had a complicated expression as he silently glanced at Jun Qizhi.
Jun Qizhi looked nonchalant as he stroked his beard and said, “It’s good for youngsters to have the guts to try their luck.”
His meaning was that Shangguan Yue definitely couldn’t beat Jun Jiuqing.
Actually, most of the people present had similar thoughts—Shangguan Yue had no chance of winning in this battle.
“She seemed to be using something to block herself,” said Ning Yuan suddenly.
It was a pity they could only see the rough situation from outside and couldn’t confirm what it was.
“It seems like a… shield.”
“No matter if it’s a shield or something else, the final result is already confirmed!” Dantai Chen sneered. The endless force still has a hint of holy force in it! Even if Shangguan Yue has a legendary weapon, with her current abilities, she definitely can’t use it to fight against that strength. She is bound to lose this battle!
Dantai Chen was more than happy to see how pretentious Shangguan Yue was. The more arrogant she is now, the more miserable her ending will be! It will be as easy as ABC to teach her a lesson after she comes out!
…
In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed.
Chu Liuyue still didn’t move as she kept absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Force.
This made Yuwen Jinghong and the rest stunned. According to our previous calculations, Chu Liuyue could only last for 15 minutes at best. But now, it seems like it isn’t much of a problem?
The few of them could only wait uneasily. However, they didn’t expect this wait to last for an hour!
At this point, Chu Liuyue still didn’t make any sound at all!
Judging from the golden force vortex above her head, they knew that she was still rapidly absorbing the force!
Her body was like a bottomless pit that contained all of that force!
Yuwen Jinghong’s previously relaxed heart started to tremble again. “W-why hasn’t Her Majesty stopped?!”
