Chapter 1729 — Chapter 1729 Three to Four Realms

Since not just the arenas but the entire stadium was protected by formations, Li Jinxi and Yuan's fight would not be deadly—as long as they didn't go overboard.

"Whenever you are ready." Yuan stood before Li Jinxi with a calm demeanor, almost as if she was no different than the others.

"Before we fight, how about we make another rule? To allow the usage of treasures above Spirit-grade? I don't think we'll be able to have a proper fight with so many limitations."

"…"

Yuan didn't immediately respond to her suggestion. While lowering the restrictions will definitely make the fight much more entertaining, it will also make the fight much more dangerous.

"I don't think I like that idea. I am doing this for fun, not because I want to kill you." Yuan eventually shook his head, rejecting the idea.

He was also worried that he might accidentally reveal his true identity by fighting seriously.

"You think you can kill me?" Li Jinxi's aura suddenly soared towards the heavens, and her peak of Spirit Enlightenment cultivation began inching toward the next realm.

In the blink of an eye, Li Jinxi's cultivation reached the first level of Divine Warrior. However, that wasn't the end, and her cultivation continued to soar.

The audience all wore expressions of awe and shock on their faces as they watched Li Jinxi's cultivation through the levels of Divine Warrior and enter Divine Master. Yet, Li Jinxi did not appear to be finished yet.

By the end, Li Jinxi's cultivation stopped at the fourth level of Divine Grandmaster.

"Heavens! A Divine Grandmaster before even reaching the age of thirty?! Her potential rivals those geniuses in the upper heavens!"

"No! Maybe she came from the upper heavens! If she had managed to reach that level in the lower heavens… I cannot even imagine how much she'd grow in the upper heavens!"

"Divine Grandmaster, huh? What a surprise." Yuan said in a surprised voice.

"I will warn you now that I can fight someone three—even four realms above my own cultivation. If you don't want to lose miserably, you should lower some of those limitations to increase your own cultivation."

Li Jinxi spoke in a scornful tone, almost as if she was looking down on Yuan from a place far above him.

"Three to four realms, huh? I see…" Yuan chuckled.

He pointed at her and continued, "Alright, I'll lower some of the limitations—but not for me."

"What?" Li Jinxi frowned.

"You can use treasures above Spirit-grade—up to Celestial-grade treasures. However, I will continue to use my Spirit-grade treasure."

Li Jinxi wasn't too happy about being looked down upon. "What kind of nonsense is—"

"Hey." Yuan suddenly interrupted, and his aura skyrocketed. However, his cultivation remained only at Spirit Grandmaster.

"Who do you think you are? Under this heaven, only I am allowed to look down on others."

Yuan used True Dragon Awakening, causing his aura to explode.

"?!?!?!"

The entire stadium suddenly felt suffocating, and everyone struggled to breathe as a crushing pressure filled the air. Xi Meili's body trembled violently, her very bloodline resonating with an overwhelming sense of fear.

Due to the stark difference between Dragon Awakening and True Dragon Awakening, Xi Meili was unable to recognize Yuan, not to mention she was overwhelmed by intense fear.

"W-what kind of bloodline does he have?!" Xi Meili fell to her knees as she stared at Yuan's silhouette with trembling eyes, her teeth clattering as if she were freezing to death.

The blood within her responded to the Dragon God's Blood Essence inside Yuan, filling her with an instinctive sense of reverence. It was as though she were standing before her own god, her very being compelled to admire his presence.

Kelan stood up again.

"This presence! He's not human but a dragon?! This explains a lot!" he almost couldn't believe it. "You…" Li Jinxi gritted her teeth as she struggled to remain standing before Yuan's oppressive aura.

However, Yuan's aura suddenly vanished. Although it was only active for a few seconds, and it wasn't all of his aura, he'd knocked out the majority of the audience with his aura alone.

"So, are you still underestimating me, Miss Three to Four Realms?"

Li Jinxi clenched her fists in frustration, but she couldn't respond. After a moment of silence, she silently tossed the Spirit-grade sword in her grasp away before using her own treasure.

"That's more like it!" Yuan laughed out loud. 'This son of a bitch is even crazier than Yuan!' she cried inwardly.

With the Golden Empress in her grasp, Li Jinxi flew at Yuan.

As she swung the Golden Empress, it suddenly became engulfed with a golden flame-like aura.

Seeing this golden flame, Yuan instinctively dodged it despite having fire immunity.

'So he doesn't just block anything and everything with his body, huh?' Li Jinxi sneered inwardly.

The Golden Empress had a special ability that directly ignored all fire resistance, so it would've gone through Yuan's fire resistance and damaged him. Naturally, the damage would've only been superficial even if the attack landed, and Yuan could've easily healed from the damage afterward, but he didn't want to reveal his regenerative ability, as it could expose his true identity.

"Is dodging all you can do?! You were barking so damn loud just now, too!" Li Jinxi provoked when Yuan continued dodging her attacks without striking back.

"Was that pressure you displayed also just for show?!"

Yuan blocked her next strike with Enhanced Sword Aura and said, "I just didn't want to end the fight so soon, but if you insist!"

Yuan began striking back without using any techniques, as it'd easily reveal his identity.

Li Jinxi noticed this detail and wondered if Yuan didn't know any proper techniques at all since he'd spent all of his time improving other aspects.

'His overall prowess is ridiculously high, but he lacks techniques! This is why his attacks thus far have been incredibly simple! This is his disadvantage!' Realizing this, Li Jinxi became more confident in her chances of winning.
