"My God, what did I just see? He actually used hundreds of different Dao techniques! How did he do that?"

"The Dao that Hemlari comprehended is the Dao of Imagination. As long as he thinks, he can transform things in his imagination into something tangible. He has now completely imagined himself as the Dao of Heaven and then used the power of the Dao of Heaven. Of course, it sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it. I have to say, he is truly a genius."

"Am I the only one who noticed the Rookie King's incredible skill? Faced with such a fierce attack, he was actually able to defend, and so perfectly, as if he had encountered such a situation before."

"No matter what, the Rookie King's winning streak is about to end. If he tries to defend, he will lose. He has no chance."

What no one noticed was that the Chaos King, who was presiding over the competition, also turned his gaze over. Clearly, the power that Hemlari unleashed had even caught the Chaos King's attention.

"No, he was already stronger than me in this state, and now he has unleashed his ultimate move. I can only hold on for a short time. Even if I know his weakness, I still can't use it without using the power of my personal world."

This is like knowing that a zombie's weakness is its head, but not having a gun and being unable to shoot it in the head.

If the stalemate continues, nothing will change. Realizing this, Yi Shuihan began to practice his personal world, and its power gradually strengthened him.

To the audience, nothing had changed, but in reality, things were different. Yi Shuihan's strength and speed had been enhanced, and he was now able to strike the "weak points".

Suddenly, he paused, and with a gentle flick of his hand, an attack vanished before his eyes. Several subsequent attacks inexplicably collided, creating a brief gap in Hemlari's attack.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yi Shuihan arrived in front of Hemlari and then forced Hemlari out of its Heavenly Dao state.

"finished?"

Hemlari's eyes regained their liveliness, and judging from his words, he didn't have much memory of his previous state, at least not the kind of fully conscious state he was in.

"Cough cough."

The coughing sound made Hemralei see Yi Shuihan standing to the side, and also made him realize his situation. After looking around, Hemralei's eyes showed a look of understanding.

"I really don't know how you did it. Let's have a good talk after the competition."

Hemlari chose to concede defeat.

"What just happened? Why was Hemlari defeated so inexplicably?"

"I don't know, but something magical must have happened."

"It seems our rookie king is going to continue his dark horse run. He even beat Hemlari. Maybe he can make it into the final top ten."

Chapter 1306, Defeating the One-Sword Maniac

Yi Shuihan's victory over Hemlari is probably the most unexpected battle in the fourth stage so far, and most viewers don't understand what happened.

Even the person in charge of the battle only vaguely sensed that Yi Shuihan was empowered by a tremendous force at the end, but did not recognize that it was the power of the world, and simply thought it was a secret technique.

It's not that no true saint has become the master of the world, but their worlds cannot be moved as easily as Yi Shuihan's. Yi Shuihan's portable world is special; even in all the heavens and myriad realms, no one truly possesses such a powerful world that can be carried around.

A true saint has the ability to carry a small world, but a powerful world like the one possessed by Yi Shuihan is completely beyond their capabilities.

The Lords of the World possess immense power, but that power only exists within their own worlds. Yi Shuihan is an exception; his personal world is an exception as well. He carries it with him at all times, meaning he is always within the realm of his personal world.

This is a miracle, and what caused this miracle is Yi Shuihan's amazing system. Without the system, the portable world could not have grown at all. To be more precise, the portable space could not have evolved into a portable world. The system's power made all of this a reality.

Without a system, even with a personal space and the means to help it grow, things wouldn't go so smoothly.

There is more than one Lord of the World, but there is only one example of a Lord of the World who can accommodate a Saint in his own world.

Defeated by Yi Shuihan, Hemlari will be unable to enter Heavenly Dao Mode for at least a short period of time, which will affect his condition. However, even so, ordinary contestants will still not be his match. He is still a powerful quasi-emperor who can challenge for the top ten. Even if his condition is weakened at this time, he can at least maintain a position in the top fifty in the fourth stage. Then, in the fifth stage, he will be able to recover his strength and still have a chance to challenge for the top ten.

The battle continued, and Yi Shuihan's opponents grew stronger and stronger. Without using the power of his personal world, it became increasingly difficult for him to achieve victory.

In fact, Yi Shuihan could occasionally admit defeat. As long as he maintained his position in the top 100, he could directly challenge in the fifth stage and still be in first place.

However, Yi Shuihan did not deliberately admit defeat. There was no need for it. For him, not deliberately admitting defeat would only waste more effort, and the outcome would not change.

Little by little, the power enhancement on Yi Shuihan's body increased, rising from the initial 10% to a stable 30%.

With the added power of his personal world by 30%, Yi Shuihan's combat strength has exceeded the range of a True Saint, but is still a little short of reaching the level of a Chaos Emperor.

In the 934th battle, as soon as Yi Shuihan entered the new battlefield, he saw a scarlet blade of light slashing towards him.

This crimson blade of light was so fierce, it seemed to cleave the world in two.

Without the power of the world's blessing, Yi Shuihan would have been injured if caught off guard. However, now, he simply raised his hand and grabbed the blade light that had killed thousands of contestants.

With a gentle squeeze, the blade shattered in Yi Shuihan's hand, and only then did Yi Shuihan have time to examine his opponent.

"Okay, what an intimidating look, it's really menacing."

Yi Shuihan had to admit that this was the life with the purest killing intent he had ever seen. He had seen ruthless people before, but none of them were as ruthless as the one he was facing now.

To be honest, Yi Shuihan felt that the person in front of him wasn't killing for the sake of killing. The concept of killing might be completely different in his mind than in others. Just like how killing is wrong in our eyes, but in his eyes, killing is like eating and drinking for ordinary people.

"A suitable whetstone."

Xu Kuangtu's eyes were filled with fanaticism, a fanaticism for the way of the sword. From Yi Shuihan, he sensed an unprecedented crisis, comparable to that of the Emperor and Shi Fei. He might not be a match for him.

It is precisely because of the crisis that Xu Kuangtu becomes so fanatical; the crisis is an indispensable element that drives him to become stronger in his swordsmanship.

Without a word, and without needing to be, Xu Kuangtu's knife came slashing down.

Each strike was faster and stronger than the last, each strike designed to destroy a world.

To be honest, Xu Kuangtu's combat power in this state has surpassed that of Hemlari in the Heavenly Dao mode, but for Yi Shuihan, it is still within his control.

Yi Shuihan had encountered opponents who grew stronger with each battle before, but this was the first time he had met someone like Xu Kuangtu who grew stronger at such a rapid pace.

You can clearly feel the enhancement of each strike; numerically, each strike is about 10% stronger than the previous one.

After dozens of strikes, the attack power was so strong that Yi Shuihan dared not take it head-on unless he further enhanced the power of his personal world.

In order to end the battle immediately, Yi Shuihan increased the power boost of his personal world from 30% to 50%, and with the same slash, not only shattered Xu Kuangtu's sword light, but also charged towards Xu Kuangtu with almost no loss of power.

This strike was enough to kill Xu Kuangtu, at least that's what Yi Shuihan thought.

The outcome was slightly different. Xu Kuangtu blocked the attack, but his blade developed a crack and he began to lose strength.

Yi Shuihan wanted to finish him off, because Xu Kuangtu's initial strike was aimed at killing. From that strike, Yi Shuihan knew what kind of person Xu Kuangtu was. Since the other party had gone to such lengths, Yi Shuihan had to retaliate in kind.

"Admit defeat."

Xu Kuangtu reacted quickly, surrendering just before being killed, and was then teleported off the battlefield by the power of the Chaos Emperor.

"Even the One-Sword Maniac has been defeated. The Rookie King is truly going to be a dark horse all the way through."

"This is too strong! Even when Father Emperor defeated the One-Sword Madman, he didn't crush him this easily."

"The One-Slash Maniac almost died at the hands of the Rookie King. What a pity."

After defeating Xu Kuangtu, only three contestants remained on a winning streak: Yi Shuihan, Huang Ama, and Shi Fei. While Yi Shuihan was fighting Xu Kuangtu, Huang Ama's opponent was the Sword Emperor, and Shi Fei's opponent was also a contestant who was suspected to be a quasi-Huangdian Peak contestant.

Chapter 1307, Destroying the Battle World

The fourth stage is almost over by now, and most of the rankings have been determined. The only remaining uncertain positions are the top few dozen.

To be among the top few dozen out of ten thousand participants, one doesn't have to lose many matches—only a few dozen—and thus has a win rate of over 99%.

Having defeated Yi Shuihan, the One-Sword Madman, he has now firmly established himself in the top three. If he can defeat either Shi Fei or the Emperor, he will secure the top two spots. If he defeats both, he will undoubtedly be number one.

In battle after battle, Yi Shuihan continued to win victories, carrying an invincible momentum as he charged towards the strongest.

The number of battles exceeded one thousand, then two thousand, three thousand...

In the 8213th match, Yi Shuihan finally encountered a true opponent, the Emperor Father of the Celestial Clan. What he didn't know was that this was one of his last few matches, because many contestants had already died, some of whom had already fought with Yi Shuihan, and others of whom he hadn't fought and there was no need to continue fighting.

Overall, Yi Shuihan's fighting speed is average, but it can't compete with the speed of someone like Yi Dao Kuangmo who can kill opponents instantly upon entering the fray. It's reasonable that he has fought less than a thousand matches. When he fought Yi Dao Kuangmo, Yi Shuihan had less than a thousand matches, while Yi Dao Kuangmo had already fought more than five thousand matches, so his speed is undeniably fast.

By this time, many contestants had already finished their matches, and less than half were still fighting. Those who had finished could now watch the other contestants.

What attracted the contestants the most was the list of those who maintained their winning streaks. When they saw Yi Shuihan's name listed alongside Huang Ama and Shi Fei, the contestants naturally became very curious and went to the audience to inquire about it.

They were already amazed when they learned that Yi Shuihan had defeated Hemlari, but they were truly shocked when they learned that Yi Shuihan had almost killed Yi Dao Kuangmo.

The battle between Yi Shuihan and the Emperor is now attracting nearly five billion viewers, which is equivalent to half of the total live audience.

About one billion of them belong to those who have been watching Yi Shui Han, while four billion belong to fans of the Emperor.

"Father, he's so handsome! Just looking at him fills me with happiness. Wow! I'm so happy."

"Huh! Father Emperor's opponent is also on a winning streak and hasn't lost yet. He must be a strong opponent, but why haven't I heard of him before?"

"The new king, who overthrew the emperor, has evolved into the dark horse king."

"You've placed your bets! If Yi Shuihan wins, the odds are 3 to 1; if you bet on the Emperor, the odds are 2 to 1."

When he saw Yi Shuihan, the Emperor's expression was calm. Among the contestants, there was only one who deserved his attention, and that was Shi Fei. He treated everyone else the same. He didn't know Yi Shuihan's current performance, otherwise he would have paid more attention to Yi Shuihan.

The aloof Emperor had no intention of talking to Yi Shuihan. Although he didn't attack as fiercely as the One-Sword Madman, he also didn't give Yi Shuihan much time.

The Emperor's attack was quite miraculous, as if he were the creator of heaven and earth. With just a wave of his hand, the ground beneath Yi Shuihan cracked open.

The earth cracked open, and Yi Shuihan naturally wanted to fly, but he did not succeed immediately, as if he had lost the ability to fly.

"so smart?"

You should know that Yi Shuihan is currently maintaining 50% of the power boost from his personal world. He felt that even if he couldn't defeat his father, he would be close. Who knew that his ability to fly would be so easily taken away?

Unable to fly, Yi Shuihan had no choice but to run. Fortunately, he was very fast, and the speed at which the earth cracked could not keep up with his speed, so he was safe and sound.

In the ensuing battle, Yi Shuihan discovered that his previous assumptions were not entirely correct. He had lost the ability to fly, but his father, the Emperor, had also lost the ability to fly.

The Emperor uses indiscriminate area-of-effect attacks, including himself; his attacks alter the rules within a certain range.

Fighting the Emperor was very frustrating for Yi Shuihan because he had to constantly adapt to new rules. For example, the Emperor suddenly changed a rule, making forward movement equivalent to backward movement. Yi Shuihan, who was originally charging towards the Emperor, suddenly found himself frantically retreating. Another example was when the Emperor changed the rules, reducing the power of ranged attacks by a hundredfold, forcing Yi Shuihan to only use melee attacks. It was fortunate that the Emperor didn't change the rules for melee attacks as well.

Constrained by the rules, Yi Shuihan could only follow his father's orders, and it was difficult for him to break the rules, even with the support of at least 50% of the power of his personal world.

In fact, Yi Shuihan was fighting very frustratingly, and so was the Emperor, because no one had ever been able to last this long against him before. Later, he used most of his power, but still couldn't cause any real damage to Yi Shuihan.

At this point, the Emperor finally began to take Yi Shuihan seriously, and people acknowledged that Yi Shuihan was on the same level as him.

"You are qualified to witness my true power."

After the Emperor finished speaking, Yi Shuihan felt that the surrounding rules had completely returned to normal, and then, under his perception, the Emperor's aura was rising wildly.

"Does it mean that the power of the rule that changes the scope will be completely applied to oneself, creating a beneficial effect?"

Yi Shuihan quickly realized this and had to admit that the Emperor was much more difficult to deal with in this state than before.

The Emperor unleashed his full power. His speed underwent a dramatic transformation, and his attack power exploded, shattering the battle world to the point that even the host could not maintain order.

Without the battle world, they fought directly in the chaotic void. Now, most viewers were unaware of their battle, and only the Chaos Emperor's power allowed him to directly observe the specific battle situation.

"That's amazing! They actually destroyed the entire world."

"It's one thing for Father Emperor to be this strong, but it's unbelievable that Yi Shuihan is also this strong."

"Without a doubt, Yi Shuihan's strength is on the same level as that of the Emperor and Shi Fei, which is already beyond the level of a quasi-Emperor."

Chapter 1308, Tongtian Achieves True Saint

The audience at the scene could not see the specific battle, but in the primordial world, the scene in the void still existed, and all living beings in the primordial world could still see the battle from Yi Shuihan's perspective.

This battle, which transcended the level of quasi-saints, utterly astonished all living beings in the primordial world. They simply couldn't understand what was happening. Yet, even so, many beings inexplicably gained insights.

They could gain insights even without understanding them, and some even experienced sudden enlightenment. Many beings broke through their bottlenecks and became stronger without even being able to comprehend it themselves. That's how wonderful things are.

"So that's how it is. The Dao, this is the Dao."

Tongtian stared blankly into the void. If you looked closely, you would see that his eyes were unfocused, meaning that he was not actually watching the battle between Yi Shuihan and his father.

Due to the influence of the battle aura, Tongtian actually broke through the bottleneck between Quasi-Saint and True Saint. His aura began to change rapidly, advancing towards True Saint.

"Tongtian is about to break through!"

No one knows who shouted that, but the powerful beings and saints of the Anti-Invasion Alliance all noticed Tongtian's strange behavior.

Zhunti's eyes darted around as he looked at Tongtian. He didn't want to see Tongtian break through and was harboring wicked thoughts. However, with Laozi and Yuanshi watching him closely, he couldn't find an opportunity.

If Zhunti were to truly disrupt Tongtian's ascension, then he would face a life-or-death struggle with the Three Pure Ones. Such an act of obstructing someone's path to enlightenment would also cause the powerful beings of the prehistoric world to reject him and not stand on his side.

In the end, Zhunti gave up the idea of ​​hindering Tongtian's breakthrough. After all, Tongtian was one of the Three Pure Ones, so it was acceptable for him to become a True Saint. Moreover, although a True Saint was more advanced than a Saint, he was not necessarily stronger than a Saint in the prehistoric world.

Tongtian would normally have had to wait at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to advance, but because of the Grand Competition of the Myriad Realms United High Schools, he witnessed one True Saint battle after another, and this time was rapidly shortened.

Breaking through to the True Saint realm is extremely difficult. When Yi Shuihan first broke through to the True Saint realm, he almost lost consciousness and only succeeded by relying on his personal world.

Tongtian is facing a crisis that is no less severe than Yi Shuihan's, and may even be greater. He has neither a personal world nor a system cheat device.

"What happened? Why did Tongtian's aura suddenly weaken so much?"

Tongtian's aura was constantly increasing, and everyone thought he would be able to break through smoothly. However, just when he was about to form the Dao essence, his aura suddenly rebounded and rapidly weakened. In the perception of the powerful beings, he had now weakened to the point where he was weaker than an ordinary immortal. And this was not the end; he was still weakening.

"Does this mean we're going to fail!?"

The moment this idea arose, some powerful figures with ulterior motives were overjoyed, while others felt it was a pity.

Zhunti was the one who was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the anxious Yuanshi and Laozi who could not maintain non-action, Zhunti felt extremely comfortable.
