Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 1051 Shine Brilliantly

On the sidelines, all the cultivators with demon blood, regardless of their strength, felt a strange sense of palpitation and oppression.

Bai Zhaoyue's body trembled violently, and she suddenly stood up from her seat. Her dragon eyes widened as she stared intently at Jing Yu, her red lips slightly parted, but she couldn't utter a sound.

The ancestral dragon bloodline within her was boiling and trembling uncontrollably. It wasn't the intimacy of encountering someone of the same origin, but rather... an instinctive awe and fear, like that of a subject meeting a supreme monarch!

Although the human cultivators had no direct bloodline connection, they were still keenly aware of the strange changes in the atmosphere and Yuan Jiqing's sudden display of fear.

"What kind of posture is that? Why does Yuan Jiqing seem... scared?"

"Such terrifying pressure... It's not the oppression of magic power or blood and qi, but... the suppression of one's life level?"

Jing Yu remained oblivious to the reactions around him. He maintained his ancient and desolate posture and slowly took a step forward.

With just this one step, Yuan Jiqing subconsciously took half a step back, his silver hair standing on end, and he let out a threatening growl, but he couldn't hide the tremor in his voice.

"Your strength comes from the gift of your bloodline."

Jing Yu spoke, her voice calm: "And at the source of bloodlines, there is also a hierarchy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved.

No longer the agile and unpredictable evasion and skillful strikes of before, but with a majestic and righteous yet supreme sense of oppression, he directly met Yuan Jiqing's attack with a palm strike.

This palm strike did not produce any earth-shattering force; its trajectory was clearly visible, and it even appeared somewhat slow.

But in Yuan Jiqing's eyes, this palm strike seemed to fill the heavens and earth, sealing off all thoughts of dodging and resistance. It was not a palm technique, but a "grand momentum," a manifestation of rules that proclaimed the hierarchy of bloodlines and suppressed everything!

Yuan Jiqing let out a roar of unwillingness, forcibly suppressing the fear in his bloodline, pushing his blood and qi to the limit, and punching out with both fists, trying his best to hit the slowly pushing palm.

However, the instant its fist touched Jing Yu's palm—

bang——

Yuan Jiqing's massive body was struck as if by lightning, and he was thrown backward, crashing directly into a pillar in the hall.

"Why...why in the present world...you too..."

Yuan Jiqing struggled to his feet, his voice hoarse with resentment. He suddenly stared intently at Jing Yu and roared, "That's it! It must be your stolen Ancestral Dragon Bloodline that's causing this! Without the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, how could your mere human body possibly contend with a different species like my Silver-Maned Demon Ape?!"

Jing Yu shook her head: "I have pure human blood flowing through my veins, don't misunderstand."

"Bah! The Ancestral Demon Palace and the Dragon Palace have been fighting for so long, do you think I can't sense the difference between human bloodline and Ancestral Dragon bloodline?" Yuan Jiqing spat and cursed.

"Don't tell me that your human bloodline is the same as that of the true dragon, and that you obtained it by imitating the dragon race."

“Then you’re wrong again.” Jing Yu’s lips twitched. “My bloodline is like a real dragon? There’s no such thing as a father resembling his son in this world.”

"Whose son are you calling a son?!"

The dragon bloodline was Bai Zhaoyue's greatest pride. This Xuanjing Daoist dared to slander the dragon bloodline in front of everyone, which made Bai Zhaoyue furious. Even though her masters in the Dragon Palace had warned her not to provoke this person again, Bai Zhaoyue had long forgotten those warnings!

"Death!"

As soon as Bai Zhaoyue joined the battle, Yuan Jiqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and cursed, "This sparring match didn't say it was only one-on-one..."

Both were outstanding talents among the demon race in the immortal realm, and both were body cultivators who combined spirit and flesh and cultivated both magic and body. In addition, they had fought countless times, and often the one who understood them best was the other. When the two joined forces, they were surprisingly in sync, achieving a result greater than the sum of their parts.

Exclamations erupted again in the hall. No one expected Bai Zhaoyue to suddenly intervene regardless of her status, and even less expected that the two of them would launch such a coordinated and ruthless attack, almost sealing off all of Jing Yu's escape routes.

"It's over... Even if Daoist Xuanjing possesses extraordinary skills, how could he possibly withstand the combined full-force attack of two true disciples of the Demon Lords at the same time?"

"This is no longer a friendly sparring match; it's practically a coordinated attack!"

To their surprise, even though Bai Zhaoyue and Yuan Jiqing, two true disciples of the Demon Lord, joined forces against the enemy, they still couldn't gain any advantage over Jing Yu.

Jing Yu transformed into dozens of different beast forms, and his own bloodline aura changed accordingly. Almost every punch and palm strike hit the weak points of Bai and Yuan, making it seem as if facing their combined attack was no different from a one-on-one fight!

The hall was eerily silent.

All the prodigies watching, regardless of race (human or demon), were dumbfounded, frozen in shock. The scene before them was completely beyond their comprehension.

A rogue cultivator at the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm—even a rogue cultivator who had reached the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm through body refinement—not only showed no signs of defeat when facing the combined attack of two top demon race prodigies, but even... from beginning to end, he never retreated a single step! His clothes were not even slightly disheveled!

"This...this is impossible..." someone murmured in a daze.

"Yes, that's absolutely impossible!"

Bai Yuque of Tianlin Palace had a grim expression. As a Golden Immortal disciple of the demon race, he knew the strength of Bai Zhaoyue and Yuan Jiqing, the two disciples of the Demon Lord, better than anyone else. In his knowledge, there was no cultivator of the same level in the world who could face the combined attack of two Demon Lord disciples at the same time without being defeated!

Even Jian Yunyuan, the Sword Court disciple who shone brightly at the banquet just now, couldn't do it!

Yue Xingzhou, who was watching from the sidelines, noticed something: "This person... seems to change his bloodline with every change of stance... and it's not just a superficial change, it's as if he's inherited the innate abilities of each bloodline..."

"Such a wondrous martial art exists in the world?"

Jian Yunyuan raised an eyebrow, a possibility forming in his mind: "Fortune!"

"What?" Yue Xingzhou looked at Jian Yunyuan, only to see the Sword Court disciple smile slightly: "The power of creation! Only the power of creation in this world has the ability to change bloodlines... Fellow Daoist Xuanjing must have comprehended the [Law of Creation] to an extremely profound level, or he must have mastered a creation-type profound technique of extremely high rank."

"Now I'm starting to suspect that Fellow Daoist Xuanjing might be the personal disciple of the legendary [Creation Immortal Venerable]."

"Impossible, right? Isn't the Creation Immortal Venerable a demon immortal? How can there be a flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, or a demon fighting its own kind of demon..." Yue Xingzhou looked puzzled.

Jian Yunyuan seemed to have noticed something else, his eyes gleaming with surprise: "Strange... Fellow Daoist Xuanjing's divine ability can simulate the bloodlines of the world, and it seems that every stance can precisely restrain the two demons... This is a divine ability that has an extremely strong restraining effect on the demon race!"

"Then he might not be a disciple of the Creation Immortal Venerable—how could the only Dao Venerable of the demon race create a divine power specifically targeting the demon race?"
