Chapter 56

"Boom!"

The towering green palm clashed fiercely with the descending Black Tortoise Seal, producing a thunderous roar. Turbulent waves of water blue surged, the tangible water element being forcefully split apart. The green palm, no larger than a normal human hand, contained vast magical power. The colossal seal in the sky trembled violently, though it wasn't completely knocked away, it was still shaken.

Everyone watching was taken aback. The palm strike from Zi Yu, which every Tai Xuan Sect disciple was familiar with, was the introductory technique of the Tai Xuan Sect—Tai Xuan Mountain Splitting Palm. This palm could unleash a force akin to the legendary Five Dings splitting a mountain, capable of shattering rocks and collapsing mountains. This wasn't an exaggeration; the Black Tortoise Seal was already comparable to a small mountain.

Zhao Zirou's expression changed immediately. Zi Yu's strength was indeed extremely formidable, able to shake the Black Tortoise Seal with just her own Dao power. This was far more powerful than Song Ruochen from yesterday.

Zhao Zirou quickly cast a Dao spell, sending streams of magical power into the Black Tortoise Seal above, reinforcing it. The giant seal hovering above Zi Yu's head immediately glowed brightly, stopping its trembling and emitting boundless water element power, sending surging waves of water blue energy towards Zi Yu.

The Black Tortoise Seal was a water element magical treasure, containing immense power, capable of summoning water element forces from the heavens and earth to attack enemies. It was a major weapon of the Purple Bamboo Peak lineage.

The overwhelming pressure from the Black Tortoise Seal directly affected Zi Yu's mind, destroying her will and shaking her confidence.

In high-level battles, momentum sometimes played a decisive role. If a powerful fighter lost their momentum and felt fear, their abilities would be reduced by at least half.

Zi Yu, of course, wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. As the Black Tortoise Seal began to descend again, she extended her right hand, and a green light shot out from her sleeve.

Zi Yu held the green light and swept it upwards. Instantly, a powerful spiritual energy wave spread from the green light, and a mist of plant essence, like a green mist, rose to meet the descending Black Tortoise Seal.

Only then did the crowd see what Zi Yu was holding—a green branch about two feet long, with seven or eight emerald leaves.

"What... what kind of magical treasure is this?" The young disciples were amazed and speculated about what the branch in Zi Yu's hand could be, emitting such powerful wood element essence.

The branch was no ordinary object. As it was swept, it seemed to draw and gather wood element forces from the heavens and earth. Green light faintly appeared on the trees outside the square, converging towards the eighth arena.

The wood element forces surged on the arena. Zi Yu continuously swept the branch, and the misty wood element forces, like a green cloud, managed to block the descending giant seal, stopping it in mid-air.

The wave-like water element forces emitted by the Black Tortoise Seal enveloped the area, colliding with the surging wood element forces from below. The two forces continuously clashed and canceled each other out, generating a continuous "rumbling" sound like distant thunder.

The residual power from the two forces swept down from the arena, causing the spectators to change their expressions and quickly retreat to avoid it.

Zi Yu's branch managed to block the Black Tortoise Seal, a major treasure of the Purple Bamboo Peak lineage, which was unexpected by everyone.

Zhao Zirou was not only shocked but also felt a sense of fear. She continuously channeled magical power into the Black Tortoise Seal above Zi Yu's head, trying to fully activate its power.

However, no matter how Zhao Zirou tried to activate the Black Tortoise Seal, it was difficult to break through the misty green light from below. The power emitted by the branch in Zi Yu's hand seemed to be on par with the Black Tortoise Seal.

"Master, the branch in Zi Yu's hand, isn't it the branch you, the disciples, broke from a spiritual root in the Xutian Realm a hundred years ago? I didn't expect you to refine it into such a unique treasure," said Long Hongxue, the head of the Purple Bamboo Peak, sitting on the steps before the hall, watching the battle on the eighth arena.

The Xutian Realm was a treasure land and a place of great danger, containing rare treasures and relics from ancient times, left by powerful figures.

Entering the Xutian Realm, if one had a connection with a treasure, they could obtain it.

Xuan Tian Daoist, sitting in the center, smiled but did not answer. The heads of other lineages exchanged glances, recognizing that this match had no suspense.

At this moment, the situation on the arena had changed. Zi Yu swept the branch with her right hand while pressing her left hand towards Zhao Zirou, emitting a strange wave.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Countless green vines grew from the void, piercing the air with a strange sound, entangling Zhao Zirou.

"Heavenly Net!" Zi Yu shouted, casting a spell with her left hand. The vines spread out, blocking all of Zhao Zirou's escape routes, forming a net around her.

Zi Yu practiced wood element Dao techniques, and the wood element power within her surged, giving her a powerful presence despite her slender and weak body. At this moment, Zi Yu seemed to have regained the masculine energy she should have, becoming more manly.

"Hisss!" Zhao Zirou drew a sharp breath. She never expected that Zi Yu could still easily cast Dao techniques and attack her while blocking the Black Tortoise Seal.

To activate the Black Tortoise Seal, she found it difficult to resist Zi Yu's vine attack. Reluctantly, she waved her hand, recalling the Black Tortoise Seal from above Zi Yu. The seal instantly appeared above Zhao Zirou, emitting boundless water blue power. The vines entangling her from all sides were instantly shattered by the water element forces and vanished into the void.

The Black Tortoise Seal protected Zhao Zirou, forming a water blue barrier around her. The water element forces from the seal seemed to have materialized, making her surroundings like a vast sea, surging and turbulent.

The hundreds of vines entangling Zhao Zirou were instantly shattered, and Zi Yu's Dao technique was broken.

At the moment her Dao technique was broken, a flush appeared on Zi Yu's face, as if she had been impacted. "Swish, swish, swish!" She continuously swept the branch, emitting green light to block the surging elemental forces.

Then, the branch in her hand suddenly emitted a loud green light, and an immense wood element essence burst forth. In the green light, the branch instantly grew into a massive tree, a crystal-clear emerald tree like a precious gem.

The wood element forces in the heavens and earth rapidly converged, green light swirling around the tree. The seven or eight leaves had grown to the size of fans, with a misty green aura surrounding them.

Zi Yu felt a sense of exhaustion, almost losing control of the tree transformed from the branch. To activate the branch's power, her internal magical power was almost drained.

"Roar!" Zi Yu, holding the massive tree, swept it directly towards the giant seal hovering above Zhao Zirou's head.

The tree emitted boundless green light, dyeing the area green. The water element forces from the Black Tortoise Seal were forcefully pushed back.

Zhao Zirou was shocked, and at that moment, the massive tree swept the Black Tortoise Seal, causing the arena to tremble violently. The power released almost destroyed the arena.

The giant seal was swept away, shrinking rapidly to the size of a fist, and the tree transformed back into a branch.

Long Hongxue, sitting on the steps before the hall, waved his hand and retrieved the Black Tortoise Seal into his sleeve.

Zhao Zirou's master, Yan Xingyun, leaped up and caught Zhao Zirou as she was thrown out of the arena.
