Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Peak of Meridian Union Realm?!”

This time, Xuan Jiuding no longer concealed his true cultivation level, and everyone sensed it clearly. Exclamations rose one after another because this was the first true Peak of Meridian Union Realm genius in this session of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

Previously, in the battle with Yun Xiao, Shen Wannian also stimulated his Ancestor Vein, boosting his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the peak of the Meridian Union Realm, but he was quickly dealt with by Yun Xiao.

The strength of Meridian Qi enhanced by external force is entirely different from the inherent Meridian Qi power one possesses, and moreover, everyone knew that among these geniuses who made it into the top four, which one of them didn’t possess an Ancestor Vein?

Since he is the Crown Prince of the Xuanyue Empire, it’s likely that his Ancestor Vein has already reached the Spiritual Rank. If he stimulates his Ancestor Vein at the peak of the Meridian Union Realm, his combat power would surely be far more formidable than Shen Wannian’s.

”This... this kid, he even managed to deceive me!”

On the high platform in the north, King Xuan Haoran of Xuanyue Country widened his eyes in shock. From his expression, it was clear he was also unaware of Xuan Jiuding’s hidden strength; he too had always thought his son was only at the Late Stage of the Meridian Union Realm.

In fact, if Xuan Jiuding weren’t already at the Peak of the Meridian Union Realm, facing a genius of the same level as Mo Qing, he would not have won so easily—this, Yun Xiao had seen through long ago.

Sensing the surging energy within his body, Xuan Jiuding’s confidence undoubtedly soared to a pinnacle, as if the youth who had consecutively defeated Nie Qianqiu and Shen Wannian posed no significant threat to him.

”Yun Xiao, prepare to die!”

Now that he possessed overwhelming power, Xuan Jiuding naturally didn’t waste words with Yun Xiao. Defeating Yun Xiao wasn’t his aim; his ultimate goal was to ensure Yun Xiao remained forever on this square’s arena, eliminating any future threats.

Because even if Yun Xiao was only at the Late Stage of the Meridian Union Realm, the combat power he displayed was simply too formidable. Xuan Jiuding clearly understood that if he allowed him to develop and reach the same level as himself, he probably would stand no chance whatsoever.

As the Crown Prince of the Xuanyue Empire, Xuan Jiuding was deeply calculating. After many interactions with Yun Xiao, he would not underestimate him again, nor would he underestimate this talent from the Jade Pot Sect who had risen to prominence in just a few short years.

Whoosh whoosh...

As his voice fell, Xuan Jiuding’s hand signs abruptly changed, and immediately before him materialized a white crescent moon. It appeared somewhat bizarre and mysterious, like the early rising moon in the east.

The Xuanyue Empire was named after Xuanyue, so the Cultivation Technique or Meridian Techniques practiced by this empire are probably closely related to the celestial moon. When Yun Xiao first encountered the Third Prince Xuan Zhi, he witnessed the latter’s Crescent Moon weapon, which was extremely sharp.

But now, the Crescent Moon Meridian Techniques deployed by Xuan Jiuding were much, much stronger than those of the Third Prince Xuan Zhi, and this Crown Prince, with a mind superior to others, knew Yun Xiao had formidable Physical Strength; this was truly a strategy to play to one’s strengths against the opponent’s weaknesses.

Regardless, there was a significant gap of two minor levels between their Meridian Qi; if it came to comparing attacks purely based on Meridian Techniques, Yun Xiao likely wouldn’t be able to resolve it so easily.

”When Xuanyue dominates the sky, all things yield!”

As Xuan Jiuding’s voice emitted another low shout, his hand signs silently shifted, and then that massive Meridian Qi Crescent started to spin rapidly, whistling as it furiously turned towards Yun Xiao.

Although the spectators below weren’t very clear about the power contained within the crescent, with such speed, they all had a guess—if Yun Xiao were to be struck by this crescent, he would likely be instantly beheaded.

”A crescent moon?”

For some reason, when Yun Xiao on the stage saw this Crescent Moon Meridian Technique, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and the blood-red crescent mark in the palm of his hand began to emit a faint warmth.
