After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

Chapter 012 I'm numb! The imperial grandson is actually a grandmaster!

Twenty fearless warriors launched an attack, determined to destroy everything in their path.

"Protect His Highness!"

Si Xuan shouted and rushed to the front of the arena with dozens of his personal guards.

Between the lightning and flint.

A dragon head, over ten feet long, suddenly rose up from behind Zhou Yi.

The dragon's horns were jagged, and its teeth were as white as jade; the aura of the divine beast filled the entire arena.

At this moment, everyone felt as insignificant as ants, as if this noble divine beast was the only thing in the world.

Golden eyes opened, their terrifying gaze scrutinizing every corner.

His aloof gaze, filled with a compassionate pity, swept over the twenty warriors in bamboo hats.

Then.

The dragon's mouth suddenly opened, and a chilling aura rushed straight towards the warrior in the bamboo hat.

The extreme cold almost froze the air, and tiny ice spikes instantly formed, shooting into the enemy's limbs and bones.

The attack was carried out in one swift and decisive motion.

The dragon's eyes closed, and it vanished without a sound or form.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

Twenty crimson mist flowers rose up.

Twenty Mahayana Buddhist followers were blown to pieces.

Twenty straw hats drifted slowly down onto the yellow muddy ground.

……

He summoned a dragon head, which spat out a mouthful of ice needles, and twenty experts died instantly, leaving no trace of their bodies.

What kind of divine magic is this?

It's incredibly powerful!

Surprised gazes followed the falling straw hats, filled with disbelief.

"Dragon's Breath Ice Blast!"

Ji Yu exclaimed in surprise for the second time, her needle and thread hanging in mid-air.

Dragon Breath Ice Explosion?

These four simple words, like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirred up a huge wave.

The crowd erupted in chaos, with gasps of surprise rising and falling.

"Wow, is this the legendary Dragon Breath Ice Blast?!"

"Dragon Breath Ice Burst, Divine Dragon Six Revolutions!"

"Your Highness, he is actually a sixth-grade Cave-Hidden Realm expert!"

"He's only twenty years old. By the time His Highness turns thirty, won't he be able to advance to the seventh-rank Grandmaster?"

……

The martial artists of Liangzhou were all excited.

The expert at the Cave Hidden Realm had been by my side all along—it was none other than the venerable Prince Yi.

With such skill, suppressing the Mahayana sect rebels would be a piece of cake.

"Twenty years old..."

The silver needle and red thread continued to shuttle up and down, Ji Yu's expression returned to calm, but she still couldn't help but murmur softly.

Having cultivated to the sixth rank of the Cave Hidden Realm through the sixth transformation of the Divine Dragon, one can fight against ordinary seventh-rank Grandmasters. The imperial grandson is definitely already a half-step Grandmaster.

The royal secret technique, Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon, is extremely powerful, but its cultivation is also extremely difficult.

However, many of the Zhou imperial family's descendants possessed exceptional talent.

In each generation of princes, several will cultivate to the Cave Hidden Realm.

However, those who reach the Cave-Hidden Realm at the age of twenty are extremely rare.

Of all the living members of the royal family, only Empress Wu achieved this feat.

The talent of the imperial grandson was actually on par with that of the Martial Emperor.

This discovery shocked Ji Yu so much that his scalp tingled.

He finally understood why he had been sent here.

Si Xuan was also paralyzed by the shock.

His Highness has always kept his abilities hidden, and no one knows his true level of understanding.

Si Xuan thought he had made a bold estimate by guessing that His Highness had advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

Unexpectedly, he overestimated his own courage.

Woo-la, woo-la-la!

Your Highness is a master of the Cave Hidden Realm; you can walk around with impunity even without a Grandmaster.

Si Xuan looked excited.

If the venue hadn't been packed with people, he would have jumped onto the stage and danced wildly to release his excitement.

……

The unfamiliar martial artist lurking among the crowd held his breath and dared not continue his arrogance.

That's it.

His Highness thwarted the Mahayana sect's conspiracy.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now.

An anomaly occurred, and it arose again.

Just as the dragon head retreated, Zhou Yi's moves were exhausted and his strength was waning.

Feng Qing, who had been standing on one side of the ring, seemed to be a beat slow to react.

He suddenly drew his longsword and shouted:

"Form ranks and protect His Highness!"

At the same time, shouting.

He swallowed several Exploding Yuan Pills in one gulp, and his cultivation level rapidly increased, temporarily breaking through from the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.

The five subordinates behind him moved in unison, swallowing pills and temporarily breaking through at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The heavens and earth trembled as six pseudo-Golden Core cultivators suddenly appeared.

Even a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves.

Six cultivators of the same cultivation level working together possess the power to challenge those beyond their current level.

"Ho!"

With a loud shout, the five henchmen stepped on the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and wielded their swords in the Heavenly Gang (Heavenly Gang) formation, actually setting up the Five Elements Sword Formation.

The five Golden Core cultivators merged with their swords, transforming into five Five Elements Divine Swords.

The Five Elements Sword Formation was activated.

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are mutually restraining and generating, yet they are integrated into one.

The magnificent divine sword, ten zhang long, unleashed a terrifying sword aura that soared straight into the sky.

Feng Qing, wielding his sword with both hands, suddenly slashed at Zhou Yi.

With the Five Elements Sword Formation enhanced, the power of the six people increased exponentially, making them unmatched even by peak sixth-grade Cave Realm cultivators.

Even a peak-level cultivator at the Cave Hidden Realm, who had achieved the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon, was no match for him.

The crowd was immediately alarmed.

What 'protecting His Highness'? Feng Qing's actions were clearly blatant assassination.

No wonder the Mahayana Sect easily let the six people return to Zhou Yi's side.

It turned out to be a deadly move that had been planned all along.

Si Xuan was extremely anxious and roared at Feng Qing:

"Feng Qing, it was His Highness Prince Yi who saved you!"

Feng Qing's eyes were bloodshot as she roared at Zhou Yi:

"You wicked creature, you are guilty! I will kill you and become a Buddha!"

One who commits evil can become a Buddha.

It really is Mahayana Buddhism!

They thought the Mahayana sect's conspiracy had been foiled, but it turned out that the twenty straw-hatted followers were just making a feint attack from the front.

The Mahayana Sect's true killing move was actually the six men, including Feng Qing, who were lying in ambush around the imperial grandson.

Six Golden Core cultivators formed a formation and launched a devastating attack.

What a grand scale, what a magnificent undertaking!

However, this is not over yet.

From the crowd, more than a dozen experts leaped and attacked the arena.

The newly promoted Martial Arts Champion of Tianyi Sect was the fastest, and in the midst of his flight, he unleashed a deadly strike with his sword.

Following closely behind were Li Yuanzhou of the Divine Sword Sect, Liu Sanniang of the Snow Mountain Sect, and Yang Lie of the Vajra Sect...

The top four martial arts candidates charged onto the arena together, shouting in unison:

"Protect His Highness!"

Swords, spears, and halberds all charged towards Feng Qing.

However, as Feng Qing moves, these attacks will likely become unstoppable and turn on Zhou Yi.

Martial Arts Alliance!

Is the Martial Arts Alliance also going to attack His Highness?

The hearts of everyone in the audience sank to the bottom of the sea.

This is practically a certain death trap.

Out of everyone's attention.

Ji Yu stopped embroidering, and a silver needle floated in each of her two fair palms.

The needle tip on the left palm emitted a small, blazing sun, while the needle tip on the right palm emitted a cold moon.

The Sun and Moon Divine Skill erupted, and silver needles and red threads shot out, heading towards Zhou Yi.

Si Xuan was terrified, but it was too late to shield himself from the sword.

Tianyi Sect truly deserves its reputation as a top-tier sect in the world.

The newly appointed martial arts champion arrived first despite being behind, his moon-white blade flashing out simultaneously with the divine sword in Feng Qing's hand.

Zhou Yi looked up at the sword light and shadows falling from the void.

Then, laughed.

Knife, sword.

It was only three feet and three inches away from his face.

Zhou Yi's head suddenly transformed into a dragon's head.

The dragon's horns were jagged, and its divine power was magnificent.

"boom!"

The swords struck solidly, creating a deafening explosion.

Under immense pressure, the dragon scales covering the back of his head continued to spread downwards.

Neck, shoulders, chest, buttocks, abdomen, limbs...

Dragon scales covered his entire body.

At this moment, Zhou Yi transformed into a dragon.
