Chapter 290: Facing Mo Leng
At the center of the Hundred Dynasty Mountain summit, the battlefield was filled with elite contenders, each radiating immense power. These were the formidable talents who had made it onto the Nirvana Golden List, the cream of the crop.
Now, the final battle for the Nirvana Golden List was about to begin.
From above, Liu Tong watched over the assembled fighters, then gave a slight nod and waved his sleeve. A surge of immense energy rippled across the sky, causing the space to twist and bend. Large light-shielded arenas materialized in mid-air, each a product of Liu Tong's powerful manipulation of yuan energy—a feat that left many spectators awestruck by his mastery.
As he crafted these light-shielded arenas for the battles, Liu Tong produced a glowing orb filled with scrolls. "Each scroll bears a yin or yang symbol. Those with matching symbols will be opponents, and the scrolls will lead you to your assigned battle arena," he announced.
With a flick of his wrist, the glowing orb burst, releasing a rain of shimmering scrolls that scattered across the crowd.
Immediately, the fighters sprang into action, grabbing the scrolls in mid-air. Lin Langtian joined the rush, reaching out and seizing one of the scrolls.
As soon as each fighter held a scroll, beams of light shot from each scroll toward the light-shielded arenas in the sky, connecting each fighter to their respective battleground. Lin Langtian's scroll emitted a beam that linked to a light-shielded arena above, and from the other side of the same arena, a second beam appeared, revealing his opponent.
Turning his gaze, Lin Langtian's eyes fell upon his opponent—a man dressed in black, surrounded by powerful waves of spiritual energy. This was clearly a master of spiritual arts.
"It's… it's you, Lin Langtian!" Mo Leng, the black-clad figure, recognized him immediately. As he realized his opponent was none other than Lin Langtian—the renowned contender who even Qin Tian had to acknowledge—his expression turned grave. Clutching the scroll in his hand, his grip tightened unconsciously.
While the final results were still undecided, it was clear to most that Lin Langtian and Qin Tian were the frontrunners for the championship. Among the contenders, Lin Langtian was seen as even more formidable than Qin Tian, given his reputation for defeating Zhao Wuji, a renowned sixfold Nirvana stage warrior. Seeing Lin Langtian now, Mo Leng's face paled.
"Oh, you're Mo Leng of the Dynasty of Divinity…" Lin Langtian recalled, recognizing the black-clad man as Mo Leng, the Dynasty's formidable leader.
"That's right. I didn't expect my first match to be against the famous Lin Langtian." Mo Leng managed to steady himself, though his eyes still showed a trace of wariness.
"Encountering me is your misfortune. Let's get started—it won't take long," Lin Langtian replied, looking at him coolly.
In the original timeline, Lin Langtian's journey had ended here. But the course of fate had shifted; Lin Langtian had become stronger, standing as the most powerful among the contenders. Mo Leng, though a leader of a top dynasty, was now destined for defeat.
"What arrogance! Today, I'll see if the so-called strongest 'dark horse' of the battlefield lives up to his name!"
Seeing Lin Langtian's dismissive attitude, Mo Leng's face twisted with anger, his eyes growing bloodshot. He was a respected figure in his own right, and to be looked down upon like this—he would fight with everything he had.
"Lin Langtian, witness the power of a Heaven Glyph Master!"
Glaring at Lin Langtian, Mo Leng's eyes flashed with rage. Without a single movement, an intense force erupted from above, sending a wave of spiritual energy surging toward Lin Langtian.
"Oh, a spiritual attack—a Five-Seal Heaven Glyph Master," Lin Langtian noted with a slight smile, igniting a surge of flames from within. With a swift punch, he obliterated the spiritual energy aimed at him, shattering it to pieces.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently as massive stones lifted into the air, hurtling down toward Lin Langtian. Mo Leng's spiritual power was clearly formidable.
Lin Langtian hovered in the sky, blazing with energy. Flames burst forth, forming a furnace of fire within him as he punched each boulder into dust.
"A powerful physique…" Mo Leng watched, visibly shocked. His hands moved quickly, forming a seal. A hundred-foot-long sword of spiritual energy materialized above him.
"Lin Langtian, take this!" Mo Leng shouted.
The giant sword hovered in the sky, radiating brilliant energy as it slashed down toward Lin Langtian.
"A Five-Seal Heaven Glyph Master indeed—a worthy foe." Lin Langtian arched a brow. Spiritual power was more challenging to cultivate than yuan energy, so spiritual masters at higher levels were generally more formidable than warriors of the same level. Mo Leng's spiritual prowess made him a tough opponent, even among fivefold Nirvana stage warriors.
But Lin Langtian was no ordinary fivefold Nirvana warrior.
Mo Leng's face twisted with fury as he channeled his spiritual power, guiding the giant sword to strike down with overwhelming force.
"Perfect!" Lin Langtian shouted, seizing the moment. With a loud cry, he formed a hand seal. Suddenly, a clear cry of a Vermilion Bird rang out across Hundred Dynasty Mountain. In an instant, the air around them grew intensely hot as crimson flames erupted from Lin Langtian.
As the colossal sword of spiritual energy descended, Lin Langtian, brandishing flames, laughed coldly.
"Vermilion Bird Scorching Flames—capable of burning all things, including yuan energy and spiritual power alike!"
