I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

On the martial arts stage, darkness and spiritual light, two completely opposite ultimate Daoist energies, collided violently like two invisible raging tides!
The darkness surging around Hei Wufeng was as deep as ink, as if it could devour light, freeze spiritual power, and erode the soul.

That was the supreme shadow power inherited by the direct line of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan, pure, domineering, and carrying the majesty of a ruler who reigns over darkness.

The mere pressure of his aura was enough to make even a low-level Earthly Sovereign waver and disrupt the flow of his spiritual energy.

The spiritual light emanating from Ling Suxin's body was as pure as crystal, as warm as jade, and as vast as the boundless starry sky, containing infinite vitality and purifying power.

The spiritual power of the Tailing Ancient Clan emphasizes balance, harmony, and continuous vitality, which is perfectly embodied in her at this moment.

Wherever that spiritual light reached, the encroaching darkness and chill melted away like ice and snow, gently but firmly dispelling and dispelling it, creating a spiritual sanctuary around her untouched by darkness.

"What a wonderful Holy Maiden of the Supreme Spirit!"

A sharp glint flashed in Hei Wufeng's eyes, his fighting spirit ignited.

He stopped probing, let out a low shout, and his figure suddenly became blurry, as if merging into the surrounding darkness.

"Shadow Empire, Forbidden!"

As his icy voice rang out, the space several dozen feet around Ling Suxin suddenly froze!
It's not a simple spatial blockade, but rather the spiritual energy that constitutes this area has been forcibly eroded and altered by the dense darkness!
The light completely disappeared, the spiritual energy became as sticky and sluggish as glue, and a heavy, mountain-like "Imperial Way" pressure descended, attempting to suppress the opponent directly on the level of will!
This is a domineering domain that combines the power of shadow with one's own spiritual power. Even ordinary high-level Earthly Sovereigns would have their strength suppressed by more than 30% if they were to fall into it!
However, even in this realm of absolute darkness and stagnation, Ling Suxin remained serene.

She didn't even make any obvious resistance; she simply raised her right hand slightly, palm up.

"With a single thought of the mind, all things become clear."

A point of pure, spiritual light, like the first ray of light at the beginning of creation, quietly emerged from her palm.

The light was initially faint, but it contained a supreme spiritual charm that dispelled illusion and brought clarity.

The moment the point of light appeared, the dark domain that enveloped the surroundings and seemed to imprison everything suddenly fluctuated violently, as if it had encountered its nemesis!

The viscous spiritual energy began to loosen, and cracks appeared in the heavy pressure. The absolute darkness was pierced by that glimmer of light, creating a bright opening!

"What?!" Hei Wufeng was shocked. How could the other party so easily shake his Shadow Forbidden Domain?

Without further hesitation, he burst forth from the darkness in his true form!
"Dark Emperor's Sky-Splitting Hand!"

He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers pressed together like a knife, and his entire arm was instantly covered by shadow power condensed to the extreme, transforming into a ferocious giant hand that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart, as black as ink but flowing with dark gold runes!

As the giant hand emerged, the space of the martial arts arena groaned under its strain, carrying a terrifying aura that could crush everything and tear apart all things, as it slashed down towards Ling Suxin!
This attack had already used its true offensive power, and its strength far exceeded the previous oppressive aura.

Faced with the Dark Emperor's hand, powerful enough to shatter mountains and tear apart the void, Ling Suxin finally wavered.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated backward like a willow catkin in the wind, her posture graceful and elegant, yet her speed astonishing, just managing to avoid the giant hand's most fierce grasp.

At the same time, she made a hand seal with her left hand, and the spark of light in her right hand suddenly burst forth!
"Supreme Spirit Immortal Technique, Purifying Lotus Flower!"

hum!
The clear and melodious music seemed to come from the heavens!

That spark of spiritual light instantly expanded, transforming into a twelve-petaled lotus platform, about ten feet in diameter, entirely condensed from pure spiritual light!

The lotus platform slowly rotated, with profound Dao patterns flowing on each petal, emanating a sacred aura that purifies evil spirits, resists all laws, and nourishes all things!

boom!
The Dark Emperor's Heaven-Splitting Hand slammed down on the Pure World Lotus!
A piercing explosion of friction and the sound of energy annihilation erupted!
The pitch-black giant hand and the radiant lotus platform fought fiercely. Darkness attempted to erode and tear the lotus platform apart, while the purifying radiance of the lotus platform continuously dissolved and purified the power of darkness.

At the point where the two meet, space is distorted and energy flows turbulently, causing the barrier of the martial arts arena to ripple violently!
After a few breaths of stalemate, the light on the lotus platform dimmed slightly, and a few fine cracks appeared on the petals, but it did not break in the end.

Meanwhile, Hei Wufeng's Dark Emperor Hand, under the continuous purification of the spiritual light, lost most of its power and was eventually withdrawn unwillingly.

The first clash of supernatural powers seemed evenly matched, but it was clear to everyone that Ling Suxin had used her defensive supernatural powers to directly withstand Hei Wufeng's powerful attack, which had been building up for a long time, and had already gained a slight advantage!

Hei Wufeng's expression darkened slightly, but his fighting spirit soared even higher.

"You do have some skill! Take this move again!"

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a colossal phantom, hundreds of feet tall, draped in a dark imperial robe and wearing a crown, appeared in the void behind him. Its face was blurred, yet it exuded endless majesty and an ancient aura.

It is the twenty-eighth of the ninety-nine supreme Dharma bodies, the Shadow Emperor Dharma Body!
As soon as the Dharma Image appeared, the dark aura of the entire training ground instantly intensified tenfold, as if it had transformed into a kingdom of shadows!

"Shadow Emperor's Appearance, World-Suppressing Calamity!"

Hei Wufeng merged with Faxiang, and Faxiang's huge imperial robe sleeve suddenly swung out!
In an instant, an endless torrent of darkness surged out from his sleeve. This torrent was not simply spiritual energy; it was mixed with various dark tribulation powers such as shadow lightning, bone-corroding winds, deathly aura, and soul-devouring light!

It was as if it wanted to drag all things in the world into an eternal abyss of darkness, subjecting them to endless destruction!

This is one of Hei Wufeng's most powerful secret techniques, with enough power to threaten even the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign!

Faced with this attack that seemed capable of triggering a dark apocalypse, a solemn expression appeared on Ling Suxin's exquisite face for the first time.

Instead of retreating, she stepped forward and formed an incredibly complex and profound hand seal in front of her chest, as if it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

The gentle aura emanating from her suddenly became intense and sacred!
"Innate Spiritual Body, Primordial Evil-Repelling Light!"

She gave a sharp shout, and a radiant light, as dazzling as a star yet as warm and gentle as jade, suddenly shone from between her brows!

That was not spiritual power cultivated later in life, but rather the purest primordial spiritual light originating from her innate spiritual body!
The radiance spread rapidly, enveloping her entire being, making her seem like a primordial deity descended to the mortal realm!

Immediately afterwards, she pushed her hands forward in a mudra!
A primordial light, refined to its extreme, with a color between pure white and pale gold, seemingly capable of opening up chaos and purifying all evil and filth, shot out from her palm!

This ray of light was not thick, but it contained an unparalleled divine purifying power. Wherever it passed, the dark torrent mixed with all kinds of calamities melted, disintegrated, and purified as if it had encountered snow in boiling oil!
The primordial light surged forward against the dark torrent, shooting straight at the Shadow Emperor's Dharma Image!
Hei Wufeng's expression changed drastically, and he frantically activated the power of his Dharma body in an attempt to resist.

The Shadow Emperor pressed his hands down, and endless darkness gathered, transforming into a massive dark shield.

puff!
The primordial light pierced through the shield of darkness without hindrance and struck the Dharma form in the chest!
Boom! The Shadow Emperor's Dharma Image let out a silent wail as a transparent hole was pierced through its chest. The entire Dharma Image shook violently, its light dimmed rapidly, and then it collapsed with a bang!
puff!

Hei Wufeng was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He staggered backward, his aura instantly weakening, his face as pale as paper. His Dharma form had been shattered, and the backlash was severe!

After Ling Suxin unleashed this earth-shattering attack, the sacred aura around her dimmed slightly, and a faint pallor appeared on her beautiful face, indicating that she had also expended a great deal of energy.

But she remained firmly in place, her breath weakened but still perfectly smooth and flawless.

The outcome seems to be decided!
The entire room fell silent!

Everyone was speechless, stunned by the lightning-fast yet breathtaking duel.

The Dark Emperor Hei Wufeng, the representative prodigy of the younger generation of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan, has actually been defeated?!

Defeated by the innate spiritual power of the Holy Maiden Tai Ling!
Although Hei Wufeng has not completely lost his fighting ability, his Dharma form has been broken, and he has suffered serious internal injuries. If he continues to fight, defeat is inevitable.

On the viewing platform, the high-ranking members of the Black Sky Ancient Clan displayed a variety of expressions.

The old man in hemp robes had a deep gaze, revealing neither joy nor anger. Elder Hei Ming stroked his beard and remained silent, while Elder Yin Gu's eyes flickered uncertainly beneath his black robe.

Elder Lingjun of the Tailing Ancient Clan smiled and nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the Holy Maiden's performance.

"You flatter me, Brother Wufeng." Ling Suxin withdrew her spiritual light, her aura gradually calming down. She nodded slightly to Hei Wufeng, whose face was pale. Her voice was still clear and melodious, but it carried a faint trace of fatigue.

"Brother Wufeng's Shadow Path is unfathomable. Suxin was lucky to win by half a move, which was truly a stroke of luck."

Instead of being aggressive, she took the initiative to give the other party a way out, demonstrating the demeanor of a saintess of a great clan.

Hei Wufeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ling Suxin with a complex expression, a mixture of shock and resentment, but more so a sense of solemnity and recognition in the face of a true powerhouse.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging blood and qi, and said in a deep voice, "The Holy Maiden's spiritual techniques are profound, and her innate spiritual body is well-deserved. Wu Feng... I admire you."

Although he was proud, he was not a sore loser, and at this moment he showed the composure he should have.

This epic showdown ended in Ling Suxin's victory, undoubtedly giving the Tai Ling Ancient Clan a great start and solidifying her unshakeable position in this exchange.

However, just as everyone was still immersed in the afterglow of the exciting battle and discussing it, a calm yet undeniably powerful voice suddenly rang out from the Black Nether Elders' faction.

"Her innate spiritual body is indeed breathtaking. However, the Dark Shadow Dao of my Black Heaven Ancient Clan has been passed down for thousands of years and is profound and extensive. It is not limited to this."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than Night Falcon, the prodigy who had risen to fame in recent years and had become the deputy commander of the law enforcement team in just two years!
He slowly walked out of the group, his pure black eyes calmly looking at Ling Suxin, whose aura had not yet fully calmed down on the martial arts stage, then sweeping over Hei Wufeng, whose face was pale, before finally returning his gaze to Ling Suxin.

"The battle between Her Highness the Holy Maiden and Senior Brother Wufeng just now was truly spectacular. Her Highness's spiritual power is pure and vast, and her supernatural abilities are profound. In particular, her 'Primordial Evil-Repelling Light' contains the true meaning of innate purification, which is indeed effective in restraining the shadow power of our race." Night Falcon's voice was unhurried and clearly entered everyone's ears.

"However, the Way of Shadow is vast, profound, and infinitely mysterious. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to give us further guidance so that we may see whether the Supreme Spirit Mystic Method can also cope with the ever-changing nature of Shadow?"

These words caused another uproar in the audience!

Is Night Falcon... taking the initiative to challenge Ling Suxin after she had just fought a fierce battle and was somewhat exhausted?
Moreover, judging from his tone, he seemed not to fully agree with Ling Suxin's methods of restraining the power of shadow, and wanted to challenge her with another way of shadow.
This is not only a display of confidence, but also a hint of resentment towards Hei Wufeng's defeat, and even more so, a gesture to vindicate the Dark Shadow Path of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan!
Upon seeing this, Elder Heiming's expression changed slightly. He then looked up at the old man in hemp robes, only to see a barely perceptible glint in the latter's eyes. He did not speak to stop him.

Seeing this, Elder Heiming's eyes flickered slightly. When he looked at Night Falcon again, his gaze was deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ling Suxin's clear eyes turned to the Night Falcon, her gaze lingering on him for a moment.

In that instant, Night Falcon clearly sensed a faint, extremely subtle glimmer in the other's eyes, a glimmer that only a clone of the same origin could understand.

Immediately, a perfectly timed, slightly surprised and scrutinizing smile appeared on Ling Suxin's exquisite face, her voice still gentle.

"So it's Brother Night Falcon. I've heard of your name before. You're known for your iron-fisted approach to law enforcement and your exceptional talent."

Brother, you are absolutely right. The Great Path of Shadows is infinitely profound. What Su Xin just saw was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Since Brother Night Falcon is in the mood, although my spiritual power is slightly depleted, I am still willing to learn more from your skills and witness other aspects of the Shadow Path.

She actually... agreed!

Moreover, the fact that the speaker directly mentioned the Night Falcon's reputation suggests that they know him, which makes everyone even more curious and expectant about the Night Falcon's next performance.

Hei Wufeng glanced at the Night Falcon with a complicated expression, then silently retreated to the side to meditate.

Although he was defeated, he wanted to see if this Night Falcon, who was not a direct descendant but had repeatedly created miracles, could truly shake the powerful Tai Ling Saintess with a different path of shadow.

Mo Wufeng's defeat slightly dampened the morale of the younger generation of the Black Sky Ancient Clan.

At this moment, the Night Falcon's initiative to step forward undoubtedly rekindled everyone's hope!
Regardless of the outcome, this courage and confidence to challenge the saint at the height of her fame has already won the favor and attention of many.

Night Falcon took a step forward, and his figure appeared on the martial arts stage, facing Ling Suxin from afar.

He didn't possess the domineering and dark aura of a king like Hei Wufeng. Instead, he appeared more reserved and profound. His pure black eyes were like two ancient wells, calm and still, yet seemingly containing endless dark secrets.

"Your Highness, please." Night Falcon bowed slightly, his posture composed.

Ling Suxin also gave a graceful bow: "Brother Night Falcon, please."

A new round of competition is about to begin!
This time, the protagonist is Night Falcon, a rising star in law enforcement who has recently gained fame within the Black Sky Ancient Clan!

How would he face the Holy Maiden of Tai Ling, who had just defeated the Dark Emperor? Everyone, including the high-ranking members of the Black Sky Ancient Clan and the Tai Ling Ancient Clan delegation, focused their attention on this.

Night Falcon knew that this was a crucial moment for him to vindicate himself, bring glory to the Black Nether Elder lineage, and demonstrate the unique value of Night Falcon as a pawn in the grand scheme of things!

The road to fame begins here! (End of Chapter)
