Chapter 375 - 375 375 Undefeated

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Undefeated Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Undefeated Lei Tianjue was defeated!

Lei Tianjue was defeated by Feng Wuchen!

In the end, even if he could injure Feng Wuchen in a head-on clash, facing Feng Wuchen’s overbearing sword aura, Lei Tianjue simply couldn’t withstand it.

Though he was defeated, it wasn’t an undeserved loss.

“I actually lost to someone at the fifth layer of the Tianyuan Realm…” the heavily injured Lei Tianjue, with a pale face, showed a trace of a bitter smile.

Lei Tianjue was one of the top geniuses in the heavenly domain, with a cultivation at the ninth layer of the Tianyuan Realm, ranking third on the talent list, shoulder to shoulder with Bai Mie, his combat power was absolutely ferocious.

Yet such a formidable genius was defeated by Feng Wuchen, who was only at the fifth layer of the Tianyuan Realm.

Lei Tianjue wished he could find a hole to crawl into and never come out again.

“Our senior brother actually lost…” The disciples of the Purple Cloud Pavilion couldn’t accept this fact, their faces filled with disappointment and disbelief.

In their hearts, Lei Tianjue’s strength was enough to compete with the second-ranked on the talent list.

Luoyan’s eyeballs were nearly popping out; he also had never imagined Lei Tianjue would be defeated by Feng Wuchen, let alone that Feng Wuchen’s strength had reached such a terrifying level.

The Pavilion Master and the higher-ups of the Purple Cloud Pavilion also couldn’t believe that Lei Tianjue was defeated by Feng Wuchen.

At first, Zhao Qianshan and the others were worried that if Feng Wuchen were defeated, it would bring about retaliation from the Zhang family, but in the end, it was Lei Tianjue who lost.

Such a result, Zhao Qianshan and the others couldn’t believe it.

Was Lei Tianjue’s strength too weak?

Of course not, it was Feng Wuchen’s strength that was too strong.

Lei Tianjue’s strongest martial skill was the Ice Soul Domain. Once the Ice Soul Domain was broken, it already signified his defeat.

Without an Earth Grade Martial Skill to fall back on, relying solely on Profound Grade martial skills, no matter how high Lei Tianjue’s cultivation realm was, he couldn’t possibly overcome Feng Wuchen’s Earth Grade martial skills.

Of course, all of this was also because the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower suppressed Lei Tianjue’s cultivation, otherwise with his formidable strength, he naturally wouldn’t have lost to Feng Wuchen.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Wuchen retracted the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower into his body, flashed out, carrying the heavily injured Lei Tianjue with him, landing in the Purple Cloud Pavilion’s plaza, and administered healing pills to Lei Tianjue.

“Tianjue!” Zhao Qianshan and the other higher-ups rushed over in alarm.

“Pavilion Master Zhao, don’t worry, he’s fine,” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.

Zhao Qianshan gave a bitter smile and said, “Emperor of Pills, the strength you possess has truly been an eye-opener for us all. The deep understanding of the Earth-Rank Sword Technique is something we can’t even begin to fathom.”

“Emperor of Pills, your pinnacle of achievement in the realm of the Sword Dao is truly enviable,” Li Qingshan praised with a full mouth.

Feng Wuchen gave a faint smile but said nothing.

If they knew that Feng Wuchen possessed even more terrifying sword techniques, who knows if it would frighten their jaws off.

“Big brother Feng’s physical body is so strong, and he has the Kylin battle armor for protection, for Lei Tianjue to be able to injure big brother Feng, his strength must be quite terrifying,” Miao Qingqing said with a smile.

“As expected,” Liu Qingyang nodded in agreement.

Having ingested the Rongxue Dahuan Pill, the heavily wounded Lei Tianjue’s injuries began to recover at an astonishing rate, and his pale face gradually regained a bit of rosiness.

Looking at Lei Tianjue, Feng Wuchen asked with a smile, “How about it? Convinced or not?”

Upon hearing this, Lei Tianjue gave an awkward smile and strained to say, “I’m in such a state; how could I not be convinced? I really didn’t expect the Emperor of Pills to be so powerful. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that someone at the fifth layer of the Tianyuan Realm could defeat someone at the ninth layer!”

“To be able to injure big brother Feng shows that your strength is also quite terrifying,” Liu Qingyang said with a smile.

“Injure?” Lei Tianjue was slightly stunned, looking at Liu Qingyang with some confusion.

What did Liu Qingyang mean by that? Lei Tianjue didn’t quite understand, could it be that other cultivators at the ninth layer of the Tianyuan Realm wouldn’t be able to injure Feng Wuchen?

“Heal well. I have other matters to attend to. Once I’m finished, I’ll send someone to notify you,” Feng Wuchen patted Lei Tianjue’s shoulder and said with a light smile.

After brief goodbyes, Feng Wuchen and his people left the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

Before Feng Wuchen left, Luoyan informed him that in half a month, the once-every-five-years rivalry for the heavenly domain’s talent ranking would take place.

On his first day stepping into the heavenly domain, Feng Wuchen successfully recruited two talents.

Of course, much of that was thanks to Zhang Junlan. Without the connection with Zhang Junlan, Zhao Qianshan and the others would likely not have agreed.

The beginning is always the hardest, and this was only the start.

If Feng Wuchen wanted to recruit talents in the heavenly domain, it would still require a lot of effort.

After leaving the Purple Cloud Pavilion, Feng Wuchen first found a cultivation place to heal his injuries; the battle with Lei Tianjue had left him with no small injuries.

He also arranged for Chi Huang and his eight people to devote themselves to cultivation, to quickly improve their cultivation.

The journey to the heavenly domain would inevitably take up a lot of time; instead of having Chi Huang and his people follow him, it was better to let them cultivate.

Several days later, a piece of news slowly spread throughout the heavenly domain.

The mysterious young Feng Wuchen challenged geniuses from various major powers, defeating many of them. The weakest of these geniuses had reached the Tianyuan Realm Sixth Layer, and the highest had attained the Tianyuan Realm Eighth Layer, all falling at the hands of Feng Wuchen.

However, that’s not the main point. The key issue is that this mysterious Feng Wuchen was only at the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer!

The genius disciples who lost to Feng Wuchen started to feel as if they were perhaps too weak.

The level of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer’s strength, to be so potent, utterly surpassed their understanding of what that realm should entail.

In fact, their abilities were all very strong; it was just that Feng Wuchen was stronger.

“Who exactly is this Feng Wuchen? To challenge so many geniuses without a single defeat.”

“Five days’ time, thirteen geniuses defeated, with the cultivation of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer. Can someone really be that strong?”

“Stop kidding, who has ever seen someone of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer defeat an Eighth Layer? I think it’s just those without real ability, who want fame but spread rumors instead. Where in the world is there such a strong genius? Even our Tianyu’s number one genius couldn’t do it.”

“It’s no rumor. The Sect Master of Tianding Sect is of the Tianyuan Realm Seventh Layer, and I saw with my own eyes that he lost to that Feng Wuchen! The Tianyuan Realm Sixth Layer genius could be defeated by Feng Wuchen with just a single palm strike!”

“That’s right, that’s right! I also saw it! It’s absolutely true, and moreover, those who lose to Feng Wuchen have to follow him!”

“Follow him? Isn’t that too arrogant?”

News of Feng Wuchen defeating the geniuses of various major powers spread wider and wider, and wherever one went, they could hear about Feng Wuchen’s string of victories over various powers’ geniuses.

After the news spread, it quickly attracted the attention of many great powers in the Tianyu.

The name of Feng Wuchen also began to be circulated in the Tianyu.

As the period for the competition for the Tianyu Genius Ranking drew near, and with all the top elites from various paths busily cultivating, the spread of the news caught their attention.

Of course, it was nothing more than their attention; it wasn’t enough to cause them worry or fear.

In the Tianyu, apart from the Purple Cloud Pavilion, the other five great powers were all curious about who this Feng Wuchen was and why he challenged the geniuses from both great and small powers.

Just a mere Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer, yet possessing the ferocious power to defeat the Eighth Layer – such formidable strength clearly indicated he was no ordinary genius.

Having the guts to challenge the geniuses from various powers was one thing, but having the defeated geniuses follow him was another entirely.

Feng Wuchen challenged the geniuses from various powers with the aim of personally selecting talents to prepare for establishing his own power in the future.

…

Ye Family, one of the six great powers in the Tianyu.

Upon learning the news, Ye Gucheng promptly reported to the Family Head of the Ye family about Feng Wuchen.

“A genius from Jiuzhou?”

“So it seems, Feng Wuchen is a remarkable genius.”

“With the cultivation of the Tianyuan Realm Third Layer, he was able to defeat someone of the Seventh Layer. Given his current strength at the Fifth Layer, defeating an Eighth Layer is not so surprising. But does this person really have such strength?”

Ye Gucheng nodded gravely, saying, “Father, what I said is true, there’s no falsehood. Moreover, Feng Wuchen has a terrifying identity.”

“What identity?” the Family Head of Ye asked, frowning.

“Feng Wuchen is an Artifact Refiner. Others call him the Alchemist Emperor, which probably means he is also an Alchemist. Moreover, he is the teacher of Zhang Junlan from the Wuji Domain’s Zhang family, who is the top genius in Artifact Refining on the Mainland!” Ye Gucheng reported.

“What? The teacher of the Zhang family’s young master?” Upon hearing this, dozens of high-ranking members of the Ye family changed their expressions, shaking in fright.

“Feng Wuchen is the teacher of Young Master Zhang! Then his level in Artifact Refining must be…” An elder was startled into confusion.

The teacher of Young Master Zhang is an extremely exalted identity.

Looking at the shocked Family Head of Ye and others, Ye Gucheng said, “This is absolutely certain. It is possible that Young Master Zhang is also in the Tianyu right now.”

“Young Master Zhang is in the Tianyu?” The expressions of several elders changed yet again.

The Great Elder quickly instructed, “Gucheng, immediately pass down the order, do not offend Feng Wuchen! Also, quickly find out their whereabouts and if possible, invite Feng Wuchen and Young Master Zhang to be guests at the Ye family.”

“I happen to have ventured through an underground palace in the Desolate Domain with Feng Wuchen and Young Master Zhang. I’ll take the opportunity to invite them to the Ye family,” Ye Gucheng nodded.

After a pause, Ye Gucheng continued, “Concerning the incident that occurred in Yueyun City a few days ago, the person whom the Young Master of the Gongsun family offended was very likely the Alchemist Emperor Feng Wuchen. It’s said to have happened during a banquet hosted by the young master of the Ge family to celebrate his breakthrough to the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer. I didn’t inquire into the specifics, but more than a dozen young masters were killed, and the Gongsun Young Master and others had an arm severed.”

“Hmm, I have also heard of this matter. Afterwards, no one dared to seek revenge; it seems it should be Feng Wuchen.” The Family Head of Ye nodded, falling silent for a moment before voicing his doubts, “But what purpose does Feng Wuchen have in coming to the Tianyu? He challenges numerous geniuses and has them follow him, what is he intending?”

Ye Gucheng shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

…

At this moment, Feng Wuchen and Liu Qingyang were already arriving at Xiaoyao Palace in the northern part of the Tianyu. Upon learning that Feng Wuchen had defeated the Sect Master of Tianding Sect, the young Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace sent a challenge to Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen’s defeat of geniuses from all factions and having them follow him was seen as arrogant, causing dissatisfaction among many forces. The young Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace, unable to stand by any longer, declared his intention to defeat Feng Wuchen.

On this day, the younger generation of powerhouses from the large powers in the north all gathered at Xiaoyao Palace, many geniuses eager to witness Feng Wuchen’s downfall.

Xiaoyao Palace was bustling with noise, with many geniuses cheering for the young Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace.

“Feng Wuchen! Come up and fight!” In the Nuoda Square of Xiaoyao Palace, the young Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace swiftly appeared, shouting at Feng Wuchen with an overwhelming momentum.
