Chapter 1413: Chapter 1413: Tang Bo’s Provocation
Xu Nian looked at Wan Feng in the distance, falling into deep thought.
He had just noticed a detail.
That was, Wan Feng’s domain erupted at the moment his spear was released.
And not at the start of the battle, releasing the domain first.
As he retrieved the spear, the domain also withdrew.
"Instantly releasing and withdrawing a domain is a skill for advancing Law Manifestation, I’m also trying to grasp it now," Xue Bing said with a smile.
Evidently, he also perceived this point.
"Indeed, it not only catches others by surprise but also conserves the Immortal Essence within," Xu Nian nodded.
Maintaining a domain also consumes Immortal Essence.
Xu Nian just tried it and found that he still couldn’t release the domain at the moment his sword was unleashed.
"It seems my cultivation still has a long way to go," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
His eyes suddenly shone with determination.
He couldn’t defeat this Titan Vajra Ape in a single strike either.
Wan Feng’s strength was indeed above his own.
Although both were at the Golden Immortal Peak, Wan Feng was clearly much stronger than Tang Fei.
"This Titan Vajra Ape earned me five hundred points, elevating my ranking to within four thousand,"
Wan Feng came over and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian looked at his own token, realizing his ranking was beyond thirty thousand.
"This is just the beginning, the trial lasts for ten years, and some truly strong individuals haven’t even made their move. Some aren’t even bothered to hunt these Demon Beasts one by one and will hunt those with high scores at the end instead," Wan Feng continued.
"Indeed, the trial gets more intense as it progresses," Xue Bing agreed with a nod.
"Who cares? We aren’t really aiming for placements; we’re purely cultivating," Lin Hengxin said with a smile.
Xu Nian remained silent.
Surely anyone participating in the trial hopes for a good ranking.
But Xu Nian didn’t think much further; his goal in joining the trial was to advance both laws to Law Manifestation level within ten years.
After a brief rest, the three continued forward.
Before long, they encountered a group of people.
These people were none other than the direct disciples of the Immortal Sovereign.
Among them was Qin Ming.
At this moment, Qin Ming also noticed Xu Nian and Xue Bing’s group, his gaze instantly turning cold.
Then Qin Ming exchanged a few words with a red-haired youth beside him.
The red-haired youth immediately looked at Xu Nian, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Xu Nian, you need to be careful. The red-haired man beside Qin Ming is Tang Fei’s brother, named Tang Bo. He is very strong, having reached the Immortal King Realm, and seems to have also entered the Law Manifestation level," Xue Bing said to Xu Nian through voice transmission.
"Tang Fei’s brother?" Xu Nian frowned.
He hadn’t expected Tang Fei to have a brother.
It seemed like he was indeed facing a sizable problem.
"Are you the one called Xu Nian? Was it you who killed Tang Fei?"
As expected, the red-haired man walked over, looking at Xu Nian with a cold gaze.
"Yes, I killed Tang Fei, but it was a life-and-death duel between us. Are you seeking revenge?" Xu Nian frowned.
"Quite arrogant, aren’t you? In that case, do you wish to accept my life-and-death challenge?" Tang Bo said.
"Tang Bo, you’re an Immortal King who has cultivated on Shendang Mountain for three thousand years. Xu Nian has been here for less than three years. Do you find it honorable to challenge him to a life-and-death duel?" Wan Feng immediately retorted coldly.
"Wan Feng, this seems to be none of your business, does it?" Tang Bo turned to look at Wan Feng, his eyes cold.
"Xu Nian is my direct junior disciple. Why shouldn’t I be involved?" Wan Feng retorted without flinching.
Though his cultivation was still at the Golden Immortal Peak,
he wasn’t at all afraid if it came to a fight.
Tang Bo said nothing, but turned back to Xu Nian: "Xu Nian, if you’re a man, step up and accept my life-and-death challenge, otherwise I’ll make it impossible for you to stay on Shendang Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian also laughed coldly.
He despised being threatened by others.
Tang Bo had been condescending from the beginning.
Did he really think Xu Nian was an easy target?
"I won’t accept your challenge. If you have any tricks, go ahead. I will deal with them, but I advise you not to cross my bottom line. Otherwise, no matter if you’re an Immortal King or even an Immortal Emperor, I will eventually cut you down with my sword," Xu Nian’s gaze was sharp.
Tang Bo frowned.
He didn’t expect Xu Nian to be so unyielding.
"Very well, I will remember you. I hope you won’t regret today’s decision," Tang Bo snorted coldly and then left in a huff.
Following that, Tang Bo led the group of Immortal Sovereign disciples out of the forest.
Xu Nian watched as Tang Bo left, his eyes growing more serious.
Tang Bo was a threat that needed to be dealt with promptly.
If Wan Feng hadn’t been here today, Tang Bo likely would have acted earlier. At least in this trial space, Xu Nian needed to eliminate him once first.
"Xu Nian, you did well. I didn’t expect you to be so resolute, but honestly, you’ve provoked Tang Bo. He will not spare you easily, as he is vengeful," Wan Feng praised.
"Even if I didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t spare me. I’d rather fight standing than die kneeling," Xu Nian smiled.
"Good!" Wan Feng nodded.
"Don’t worry. With us around, he won’t dare to do anything to you for now, and as long as you don’t leave Shendang Mountain, he can do nothing to you either," Xue Bing said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior brothers!" Xu Nian looked gratefully at Xue Bing and Wan Feng.
"There’s no need to be so formal. Let’s continue with the trial," Xue Bing said with a smile.
In the following month, Xu Nian cultivated alongside Wan Feng in the Sky-reaching World.
"Boom!"
He used the Black Hole Law, unleashing Black Hole Power, throwing a powerful punch, the Black Hole Domain burst forth.
Directly pulverizing the Demon into pulp.
And as he retracted his fist, the Black Hole Domain vanished as well.
"Not bad, Xu Nian. Your comprehension is truly high. In just one month, you’ve been able to release and withdraw your domain instantly," Wan Feng praised.
Wan Feng witnessed Xu Nian’s progress and was deeply impressed, though he did not express it openly, his heart was filled with astonishment.
It took him ten whole years to achieve this step initially.
Yet Xu Nian managed it in just one month.
"Xu Nian, you might be a bit too monstrous. Your current strength is probably already above mine," Xue Bing couldn’t help but remark.
Xu Nian’s progress was indeed astounding.
He hadn’t yet mastered the instant release of the domain, but Xu Nian was already able to freely exert control over it.
Xu Nian smiled, his progress extended beyond that.
In fact, ten days ago, his Extreme Point Penetration Law had already been controlled at will.
He simply had not displayed it.
"Xu Nian, with your talent, you will certainly achieve Law Manifestation within a hundred years," Wan Feng said.
"A hundred years? There probably aren’t many who can achieve Law Manifestation from domain within a hundred years," Lin Hengxin added.
"Indeed, not many, not even among the direct disciples of Immortal Emperors," Xue Bing nodded.
Xu Nian, however, smiled bitterly internally.
A hundred years?
A hundred years was far too long for him.
Even the ten-year goal seemed like it should be shortened.
