Chapter 335: The Showcase of the Great Dao Swordsmanship!
Ye Tian was well aware of the true power of his swordsmanship and was equally clear about what kind of ranking it could achieve.
Being ranked fourth was exactly as he had expected, so the astonishment of everyone else was also within his calculations.
[Buddha of Western Paradise]: Could Ancestor Hongjun explain why he managed to make it onto the list this time?
No one knew about Ye Tian's Great Dao Swordsmanship. Not only that, but no similar divine techniques or spells had ever been seen before. Moreover, Ye Tian's technique was clearly a form of swordsmanship. In the vast Honghuang (Primordial World), the only one known to possess extraordinary swordsmanship was Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The way Jieyin (Reception Buddha) posed his question clearly indicated that he had no clue about the origins of Ye Tian's swordsmanship or how Ye Tian had cultivated it.
However, even Ancestor Hongjun was curious but found himself unable to ascertain anything about it. Hence, he could only respond helplessly.
[Ancestor Hongjun]: This person has always been in hiding. I cannot find him, nor do I know anything about the techniques he possesses!
[Nüwa]: That's correct. The emergence of the Golden List and the issuance of its rewards prove that Ye Tian has always been observing the events happening here. Yet, even after nearly three lists, he has made no appearance nor revealed any information!
Ye Tian's deep concealment seemed, to the others, to stem from some unavoidable necessity.
While the Saints engaged in their discussion, those with lesser strength had their own way of talking about it.
[Sun Wukong]: I never thought he'd make it to fourth place—I didn't even think he'd make the list at all!
[Erlang Shen]: From the previous two rankings, we could already tell how strong Ye Tian is. Why wouldn't he make it onto this third list as well?
[Nezha]: I did think he'd make it, but I didn't expect him to surpass Ancestor Hongjun's ranking this time. His power is immense—perhaps he's also reached the level of a Heavenly Path Saint!
While everyone was still heatedly debating, the livestream screen suddenly shifted. A figure appeared in the scene.
The person was dressed in white, holding a sword. Although it was unclear what level of treasure the sword belonged to, the divine brilliance radiating from its blade suggested it was at least an innate treasure.
[Sun Wukong]: Quick, look! Who's that person in white in the scene?
[Taiyi Zhenren]: Ranked fourth—this must be Ye Tian's image!
[Ancestor Minghe]: I didn't expect that the elusive Ye Tian would show up directly on the Golden List. This shows the Golden List's abilities exceed our imagination. But I must say, Ye Tian is quite handsome!
Prior to this, Ye Tian had never appeared before them. In the first two rankings, his presence was fleeting, with only his formation flashing briefly on the screen.
This time was different. Ye Tian had fully revealed himself before everyone. However, as they looked at him, all they could see was a graceful, elegant man with no trace of familiarity.
In other words, none of them had ever met Ye Tian before, which aligned with the assumption that Ye Tian had always been hiding in some other location.
[Guanyin Bodhisattva]: Judging by the scene alone, I can't sense his strength. He doesn't exude any power. If not for his appearance on the screen, even face-to-face, I would mistake him for an ordinary person!
Achieving such concealment was exceedingly difficult. The more powerful someone was, the more energy they contained within. To suppress all that energy and remain undetectable required perfect control over one's power.
[Li Jing]: Even though he's revealed himself, no one can recognize him or determine his whereabouts. Even knowing what he looks like won't help; no one can find him based on appearance alone!
As long as Ye Tian did not step forward himself, no one in the Honghuang would be able to locate him. Even knowing his appearance would be meaningless.
[Yuanshi Tianzun]: Since Ye Tian has appeared, he must be about to demonstrate the might of his swordsmanship. This will help us understand just how powerful this Great Dao Swordsmanship truly is.
Ye Tian, preparing to demonstrate, became the focal point of everyone's attention. No one dared to blink, fearing they might miss a crucial moment.
Ye Tian stood amidst the chaos, holding his sword. Suddenly, a golden light flashed through his eyes, and immense power erupted from him. The long sword in his hand began to ripple with waves of energy.
With each swing of his sword, tremendous force radiated outward. As he demonstrated his Great Dao Swordsmanship, everything seemed ordinary at first glance. Yet, the void around him was already shattering.
The sheer power made it impossible for others to resist. Everything, including objects in the vicinity, was obliterated. Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, it wasn't over yet.
A colossal figure appeared before Ye Tian. Towering ten thousand feet high, it was clad in scales, surrounded by flames, and had eyes filled with icy indifference.
The stark contrast between the massive figure and Ye Tian's comparatively small frame was striking. However, Ye Tian's overwhelming aura completely offset the difference, reversing what one would expect.
The gigantic beast's power was insurmountable. From the moment the chaotic beast appeared, the Saints immediately discerned its nature: a chaotic beast comparable to the Saint realm.
[Tongtian Jiaozhu]: The power he's showcasing seems lacking. However, with this chaotic beast—comparable to a Saint—it should allow us to gauge most of his strength!
Though the chaotic beast was at the Saint level, everyone had great confidence in Ye Tian. They didn't believe a randomly appearing chaotic beast could defeat him.
What they truly wanted to see was whether Ye Tian's Great Dao Swordsmanship could handle the beast.
They were eager to witness the power of the technique ranked fourth in the Honghuang rankings.
The Great Dao Swordsmanship had already surpassed the Immortal Execution Swordsmanship, claiming the title of the strongest swordsmanship in Honghuang.
Everyone knew the power of the Immortal Execution Swordsmanship, which made them even more curious about the Great Dao Swordsmanship.
Among them, Tongtian Jiaozhu was the most curious. As a master of swordsmanship, he had relied on the Immortal Execution Swordsmanship as his ultimate technique. Naturally, he wasn't willing to relinquish the title of Honghuang's strongest swordsmanship.
Yet, he still needed to see for himself the true power of the Great Dao Swordsmanship.
