Estate Master Ding, your eldest son is alive?
Both Fort Master Xia and Clan Leader Ximen were alarmed when they saw Ding Badao appear.

Hehe, who told you my son is dead?
Estate Master Ding smiled proudly.
That was a lie. My son has been in secluded cultivation and has recently comprehended the Heart Seal, further improving his sealing skills.

Even if the four participants of the Bamboo Forest Fort and Ximen Clan decided to work together, they still wouldn’t be his son’s match.

Well? Nobody has the galls to come up here?
Ding Badao asked.
I know it’ll be embarrassing if you all have to come together, but this is the best chance you have at defeating me. If the four of you can work together and defeat me, the Spirit Sky Residence will withdraw from this competition.

With his seal in hand, the Saber Seal Ding Badao’s spirits rose as he howled,
Is there no one who dares face me?




I can defeat you alone.

Bang!
A burly man, looking more like a beast than a man, landed in the ring. When he landed, the ground shook. The entire public square rocked. The man was obviously a bold and powerful person.

You’re Ximen Tiechui from the Ximen Clan?
Ding Badao was astonished when he saw who the newcomer was. He’d been told that Ximen Tiechui wouldn’t be one of the Ximen Clan participants this year.

I wasn’t planning to participate. I was going to let the two youngsters of our clan temper themselves through this competition.
Ximen Tiechui smiled viciously.
But then again, I’m really looking forward to meeting you, the legendary saber seal. I’m curious, is your saber seal more powerful than my iron hammer.


Iron hammer? Interesting.

A disdainful smile surfaced on Ding Badao’s face. His legs bent slightly as the seal in his hand transformed into a sharp blade. Noiselessly, the blade struck Ximen Tiechui’s neck.
Ximen Tiechui flicked his wrist and a seal flew out, creating a layer of rock that covered his body. It was a rock that had been fused with the Will of Heavy Mountain, increasing the density many times over to reach a hardness far surpassing even Bejeweled Weapons. The blade hit the rock and bounced back.

Ding Badao, with me, Ximen Tiechui here, it’s not yet your turn to be acting all mighty.
As he spoke, Ximen Tiechui released another seal. The sky darkened as a massive mountain appeared in the sky. Everyone had a sensation that, instead of bearing down on Ding Badao, the mountain was bearing down in them instead. Such a seal had already reached the fourth-order fifth tier. A Transcendence Fourth Realm warrior unleashing such a seal was simply pulling his true energy into overdraft.
But Ximen Tiechui was born with boundless true energy, and he was able to effortlessly unleash a seal far beyond his cultivation level.



A sharp enough blade can slash through everything!
Ding Badao’s seal started burning, turning into a blazing saber. It was as if the saber had been possessed by the devil itself. The saber trembled violently. Ding Badao flew up into the air, and, with the saber, he slashed down at the massive mountain.

The massive mountain dropping from the sky was split in two.
The saber in Ding Badao’s hand vanished. A brand new seal appeared.
Just like that, the two started fighting each other in the ring.
They fought using only seals, and seals at that level had already surpassed Ye Mo’s comprehension. When he used seals in the past, he used them as a prop or a tool that he could release to attack his enemies.
But the two fighters in the ring had turned their seals into a part of them, fusing seals into every facet of battle.
The difference between martial techniques and seals was that seals were something a person sketched out and required massive amounts of true energy to activate while martial techniques were something one had personally cultivated and wouldn’t require as much true energy to activate.
One required a large amount of wealth to use but were extremely flexible, with numerous variations, while the other didn’t require wealth and, after cultivating it, it would forever belong to the cultivator.
At a certain level, one couldn’t even tell whether a sealing artist was actually using a seal or a martial technique anymore.


Ye Mo could see that this Ding Badao was very skilled in using a saber. His saber attacks were extremely sharp, and even if he were wielding a Bejeweled Weapon instead of a seal, he would still be a saber expert.
But he had decided to use a seal because a seal could release the side effects he wanted. He hadn’t comprehended any wills himself, but, through seals refined by others, he could unleash attacks with the power of wills inside of them.
Ximen Tiechui was relying on brute strength, and, as a result, his seals were mostly related to strength as well.
Both of them were in the Transcendence Fourth Realm, and when they fought, they were evenly matched. It wouldn’t be easy for a victor to emerge.
Ye Mo nodded as he watched the fight, but he was still wondering why the two weren’t releasing their Transcendence Golden Bodies. If they could use their Transcendence Golden Bodies along with their seals, they would be even more powerful.
Just as Ye Mo thought of that, sure enough, two Transcendence Golden Bodies appeared. But the two Transcendence Golden Bodies weren’t some sort of giant humanoids or creatures. Rather, they were weapons.
Ximen Tiechui’s Transcendence Golden Body was a massive hammer, twelve meters long, while Ding Badao’s Transcendence Golden Body was a twelve-meter long saber.

Those count as Transcendence Golden Bodies as well?
Ye Mo was astonished. This was the first time he had seen such Transcendence Golden Bodies.

Yes. There are two types of Transcendence Golden Body,
Hong Ling explained.
The combat type and the weapon type. These two have weapon type Transcendence Golden Bodies where their Transcendence Golden Bodies are their weapons. Generally speaking, weapon type Transcendence Golden Bodies have powerful offense and weak defense, since their bodies aren’t protected by their Transcendence Golden Bodies. Combat type Transcendence Golden Bodies are comparatively weaker in offense but stronger in defense.

Hong Ling continued,
But, weapon type Transcendence Golden Bodies are extremely rare, and the top 100 Transcendence Ranking has only about 10 weapon type Transcendence Golden Bodies on it.



This match had broadened Ye Mo’s horizons.
Kill!
Ding Badao seemed to fell that the fight had gone on long enough. He decided that he had to quickly defeat Ximen Tiechui in order to establish his dominance.
If he could only win after a prolonged and difficult fight, it would mean Ximen Tiechui could equal his strength. How embarrassing.

Rapid Electrical Pull!


Withered Tree’s Spring!


Domebreaking Saber!

…
He unleashed a saber technique. He wielded the massive Transcendence Saber with one hand, yet it looked completely natural, nothing out of place. It was his Transcendence Golden Body, an extension of himself. When he waved the saber around, the saber seemed weightless, yet the might unleashed by the saber was astonishingly powerful. As he waved the saber around, numerous projections appeared in the air as the saberlight filled the area, seemingly about to destroy everything in the world.
Ximen Tiechui was surrounded by the massive saber energies.


Ximen Tiechui started howling and released several seals, yet he couldn’t escape the saber technique no matter how hard he tried.
As a last resort, he slammed his 12-meter-long hammer down. Like a furious god of thunder, he tried to force his way to a victory with brute strength alone.
Unfortunately, the saber energies seemed capable of penetrating everything as they slashed the hammer, causing the Transcendence Hammer to explode like shattered glass. Ximen Tiechui was sent flying, coughing blood.
The 12-meter-long hammer had been instantly destroyed. It was quite a shocking sight. That was what a battle between super experts looked like, a battle between the geniuses of the South District.
