Chapter 1155 Half-Saint Showdown
The three parties were vying for the contract, and one has already withdrawn from the competition.

The scene was chaotic, with a scene of beating a drowning dog taking place on the edge of the battlefield.

However, most people's attention was still focused on the two semi-saints, Lingyun Palace and Tiannan Divine Sword, who were locked in a standoff.

The key to victory for the remaining two factions vying for the throne, Lian Feihong and Dongfang Daqian, lies with these two.

Lingyun Palace is Dongfang Daqian's master and the leader of the Human Race Sect. He has been patient for many years and has reached the half-saint realm. When he makes a move, it will shake the world and establish the general trend of the world.

Tiannan Divine Sword, recognized as the number one person in the Heavenly Sect, is also the stable leader of the Azure Sky in the capital. Apart from Zhenbei Ge, he has never encountered an opponent.

It turns out he had already advanced to the level of a half-saint, or perhaps even before Lord Shen.

The participation of two demigods in the battle to elect an emperor and bestow titles has added more variables to the outcome, and all parties are watching with bated breath.

"Words are useless!"

Lingyun Palace flicked his sleeve and said, "Tiannan Divine Sword, you are the number one person in the Heavenly Sect. You didn't rely on your high moral character and prestige, but on the reputation you earned by wielding your sword."

"The wealth and status of my Lingyun Palace are earned through hard work, not something that fell from the sky."

"We both know perfectly well that the world's affairs are won by the strong, and those who scheme and plot will only achieve nothing."

"You support Lian Feihong because of Zhou Daqian, and I will protect my own child. I will win today's battle, and Dongfang Daqian will ascend the throne."

At this point, Lingyun Palace spread his hands, "What do you think?"

"In the end, we still have to fight!"

Tiannan Divine Sword smiled and said, "That's good, saves us from unnecessary talk!"

As they spoke, the two demigods clashed. It was as if a divine voice had descended upon the world, extraordinary and awe-inspiring. In the heavens and earth of the capital, the flowing clouds and gentle breezes, the mountains and rivers, and the plants and trees, whether far away or close at hand, all felt the shock.

That is the awe that countless living beings on earth have for thunder, fire, and the power of nature deep in their nature; it is awe and worship etched deep in their souls.

The sheer aura emanating from their exchange alone was enough to make everyone present, regardless of whether they were grandmasters or powerful warriors, feel the urge to submit.

Not only can one not fight against him, but one cannot even stand and face him directly; this is the power of a half-saint.

When Zhou You was traveling in the Southern Frontier, he had seen the atmosphere of Yin Dao and Lord Shen breaking through one after another from afar. He thought he knew a lot about the Half-Saints, but now he realized how naive he was.

The newly promoted half-saint, who was also suppressing the celestial maiden with all his might, could not compare to the two in front of him who had been promoted for a long time and had already comprehended and digested their realms, and had a firm grasp of them.
Although there were no dazzling sound and light effects, and no earth-shattering explosions, the sense of danger emanating from the depths of their souls made everyone realize that being under the same sky as these two might... lead to death.

Fortunately, after one exchange, both Lingyun Palace and Tiannan Divine Sword disappeared without a trace.

The Heavenly Sect has its own levels and domains, let alone the even more superior Half-Saints.

Their power permeates heaven and earth, infecting everything around them, and with the slightest thought, they ascend to a higher level of space.

Those weaker than them, invisible and deaf, seem to exist in another world!
Zhou You was the only exception on the scene. He raised the Half-Saint Yin Blade, its gleaming blade as smooth as a mirror.

In the reflection of this 'mirror', one can vaguely see a fleeting glimpse of the battle between Lingyun Palace and Tiannan Divine Sword.

The semi-saint power within the blade granted him the key to unlock the domain, allowing him to glimpse hard-won fragments.

This was truly an eye-opening experience!
Leaving aside the performance of the Tiannan Divine Sword, the Lingyun Palace was quite a surprise to Zhou You.

He was Dongfang Daqian's master, but their styles were not entirely unrelated, though not completely different; there was not a trace of anything alike between them. It should be noted that Zhou You's relationship with the master of the Tiannan Divine Sword was already quite distant, yet he could still use a few moves that demonstrated his unique style, showing a distinct approach to the art.

But Dongfang Daqian's martial arts techniques are completely invisible to those of Lingyun Palace.

It seems that the relationship between this master and apprentice is more of a combination of interests!
The voices of the Shishen Sect members reached his ears: "The 'Ten Thousand Prayer Order' of Lingyun Palace can indeed advance one to the semi-saint realm, but I still don't believe his arrogant words from back then. Can't this achievement lead to sainthood?"

It turns out that Lingyun Hall, as the most outstanding member of the contemporary Buddhist sect, obtained the core inheritance of the seal script 'prayer' and used it to discover a set of esoteric skills called "Ten Thousand Prayer Orders".

The most prized heritage of the Buddhist religion, besides the countless secret seals in the Heavenly Palace, is the seal script character for "prayer".

The mere inheritance of a single seal script character is comparable to the countless secret seals collected in the Heavenly Palace, demonstrating its immense significance.

In reality, the influence of Lingyun Palace on the Eastern Great Thousand World is not in terms of martial arts, since the specialty of the Human Race Sect is inheritance, and the Martial Saint Profound Technique is vast.

Dongfang Daqian practices his own unique martial arts, but his thoughts and style are greatly influenced by Lingyun Palace.

The Great Thousand Seals he comprehended, which states that as long as one's faith is boundless, one's power is limitless, are derived from the ultimate technique, "Ten Thousand Prayer Orders."

The core idea of ​​the All Prayer Edict is that, in fulfilling one's requests, it is better to pray to oneself than to pray to God.

"Buzz!"

The words of the Heavenly Southern Divine Sword were reproduced through the vibrations of the Half-Saint Yin Blade and reached Zhou You's ears.

“Lingyun Palace, the Buddhist sect and the human race sect are clearly distinct. You have unlimited potential by cultivating only one of them, but you are too clever for yourselves to combine the two, thinking that you can take the best of both worlds and innovate. But you don’t know that you have created a hybrid that is neither fish nor fowl.”

"Let me enlighten you on what it means to 'hold a sword through a thousand years of ups and downs, and remain steadfast in your heart, shining as bright as the sun and moon.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light flashed up, and the scene reflected in the blade was instantly filled with white light, making everything invisible.

Zhou You pressed his hand to his chest, his mind racing with thoughts, and in a few breaths he made up his mind.

He cupped his hands towards Lian Feihong and said, "The decisive moment has arrived. Give the order!"

Lian Feihong was astonished. The two half-saints had not yet fought to the death, so how could they be summoned to fight?

Several trusted confidants urgently urged him, "Don't be rash, wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"

"What are we waiting for? Regardless of victory or defeat, we have reached a point where there is no turning back."

Zhou You shouted, "This beautiful land is yours to take, not for others to feed you!"

These words solidified Lian Feihong's resolve. If Tiannan Divine Sword won, everyone would be happy; if they lost, it would be better to fight with all their might, and perhaps there would be a chance for a turnaround. Therefore, this battle was inevitable.

He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and ordered, "Target: Dongfang Daqian's troops. They are all enemies who deserve to die. Kill!"

This decision pleased Zhou You, who nodded in satisfaction. His support for the other party was well worth it; such trust was already extremely valuable.

Dongfang Daqian, on the other side, was truly surprised to see Lian Feihong's entire army pressing forward. Enraged, he ordered a counterattack.

Just as he was about to blast a gap in the opposing line, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Zhou You appeared in front of him. "Dongfang Daqian, is your opponent me?"

At this critical moment, all the Heavenly Sects no longer held back and launched a full-scale attack, as the outcome depended on this one move.
