From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 149 The Final Showdown Displays Might

Fei Yu stood there, dressed in pristine white, like a celestial being, yet carrying an inexplicable air of wickedness. A mocking smile played on his lips, making my heart tighten. "Looks like you're slower than I expected, Xiao Yao." His voice carried a hint of sarcasm, as if everything was under his control.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "You were waiting for me here?"

“Of course,” he chuckled, “a good show always has to wait for the main character to arrive before it can begin, doesn’t it?” He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a dazzling light condensed, radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

"This is..." I was startled. This power far surpassed any opponent I had encountered before. Could it be... the power he gained in the previous trials?

“That’s right,” Fei Yu seemed to see through my thoughts, “This is part of the power of inheritance. And you, you have nothing now.” He walked towards me step by step, each step feeling like it was stepping on my heart, making me feel a suffocating pressure.

"Do you think you can scare me like this?" I tried to remain calm and not let my voice tremble.

"Did I scare you?" Fei Yu stopped and laughed loudly. "Why would I scare you? I just want you to understand how big the gap is between us." The light in his hand grew brighter and brighter, as if it would illuminate the entire space.

I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, sending a sharp pain through me. I couldn't let him intimidate me! Hadn't I endured so much for this moment?

"The gap?" I looked up and stared directly into his eyes. "Who can know until the very last moment?"

Fei Yu's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a chilling killing intent. "Is that so? Then let me see what else you've got!" Before he finished speaking, the light in his hand suddenly shot out, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that rushed straight towards me.

I instinctively dodged, the beam of light grazing my cheek and leaving a burning mark. That was close! This power is truly extraordinary!

I dared not be careless and quickly circulated my spiritual power to form a protective shield around myself. Fei Yu's attacks came one after another, beams of light pouring down like a torrential rain, bombarding my shield and making deafening noises.

My shield trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment. I gritted my teeth, struggling to hold on. No, at this rate, I'll eventually run out of spiritual energy! I must find a way to fight back!

While parrying Fei Yu's attacks, I carefully observed his movements, searching for weaknesses in his power. His power was indeed formidable, but it seemed... somewhat too violent, lacking precision?

Just as I was pondering this, Fei Yu suddenly stopped attacking. He looked at me, a strange smile playing on his lips. "What, giving up the fight?"

I took a deep breath, a glint of light flashing in my eyes. "No," I said slowly, "I was just... waiting for you to make a mistake." I stared intently at his right hand, the source of his power...

Fei Yu's expression changed slightly. "You..." The instant Fei Yu's expression changed, I moved. I was betting that he would underestimate me, betting that the ferocity of his power would mask his control over the details. I didn't directly attack the source of his power—his right hand—but instead targeted his left shoulder.

I've been observing the trajectory of his power for a long time; though violent, it follows a unique pattern. And his left shoulder is the weakest link in this pattern. I concentrated my spiritual energy at my fingertips, transforming it into a sharp sword aura, and thrust it straight forward.

The sword energy was as fast as lightning. Fei Yu clearly hadn't expected me to attack that spot. He hastily raised his left hand to block, but he was still a step too slow. The sword energy tore through his sleeve, leaving a shallow bloodstain on his left shoulder.

"You!" Fei Yu roared, his eyes filled with disbelief. He actually managed to hurt him!

I didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, I launched another attack. My figure flickered like a ghost, constantly circling around him, each attack precisely striking his weak points.

Although Fei Yu was powerful, I was faster and my attacks were more flexible and varied. He gradually found himself unable to keep up, and his originally ferocious offensive began to become chaotic.

Enraged, he unleashed another burst of light from his hand, and a powerful pressure descended upon me. "You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" he roared, launching another fierce attack.

I wasn't intimidated by him; instead, I felt a surge of excitement. This was exactly what I wanted! Only by pushing him to the brink could I completely break down his defenses and find the final opportunity for victory.

I dodged his attacks while continuing to search for his weaknesses. Although his strength was formidable, it was also greatly depleted. I noticed that his breathing was becoming rapid and his movements were slightly slower.

The opportunity is coming!

A glint of light flashed in my eyes, and I once again gathered all my spiritual power, transforming it into a dazzling sword light that pierced straight into his chest.

Fei Yu hurriedly raised his palm to block, but his strength was no longer as great as before. The sword light pierced through his palm strike, leaving a deep wound on his chest.

He groaned, staggered back a few steps, his eyes filled with shock and resentment.

I didn't press my advantage; instead, I stood there quietly, watching him. The outcome was decided.

"You...you actually..." Fei Yu clutched her chest, her voice trembling.

I looked at him and said slowly, "I've said it before, who can know until the very last moment?"

I raised my hand, and a pale golden light slowly condensed in my palm...

The pale golden light gathered and intensified in my palm, like a miniature sun, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation. A trace of fear flashed in Fei Yu's eyes. He tried to gather his power again, but found that his spiritual energy was already depleted.

“It’s over,” I said calmly, my tone completely devoid of emotion.

He looked at me with a complex expression, a mixture of shock, resentment, and... a hint of relief?

I paid no attention to his emotional change, and simply slowly pushed out the ball of light in my hand. The ball of light was not fast, but it carried an unparalleled power, as if it could devour everything.

Fei Yu did not dodge, perhaps because he was too weak to dodge, or perhaps because he had given up resisting.

The ball of light struck his chest without making a sound, leaving only a faint golden glow on his body. The next moment, his body began to slowly dissipate, eventually turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into the Land of Inheritance.

I stood there quietly, watching the starlight fade away, feeling no joy as I had imagined. This battle was less a victory and more a relief.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the rich spiritual energy in the land of inheritance. Familiar scenes flashed through my mind.

I remember when I first transmigrated to this world, I was a useless person without spiritual roots, subjected to endless ridicule and scorn. I remember how much effort I put in and how many hardships I endured in order to cultivate. I remember teetering on the brink of life and death time and time again, rising from despair each time.

Those past hardships have now become a source of my strength. The reason I've come this far is because I never gave up, because I always believed that as long as I worked hard, I could definitely change my destiny.

I opened my eyes, my gaze filled with confidence and determination. Feiyu's defeat was not the end, but a new beginning. I still have a long road ahead and higher goals to pursue.

The spiritual energy of the land of inheritance began to converge on me, and my body seemed to become a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the surrounding energy. I felt my power constantly increasing, and my realm constantly rising.

A powerful force surged from my body, my clothes moved without wind, my hair danced, and my whole body radiated a dazzling light.

I stretched out my hands, feeling this unprecedented power. I knew I was about to break through my limits and reach a completely new realm.

I took a deep breath and slowly closed my eyes. An ancient and mysterious incantation appeared in my mind.

I began to silently recite the incantation, and the spiritual energy within my body circulated according to the incantation's trajectory. The surrounding spiritual energy also surged, forming a huge vortex that enveloped me.

I felt something changing in my body; a powerful energy was gathering within me.

"break!"

I suddenly opened my eyes and shouted.

A dazzling light burst forth from my body, illuminating the entire land of inheritance.

I slowly raised my right hand, and in my palm, a ball of blazing white flame burned fiercely.

This is a spell I have never used before, and it is the result of my breakthrough.

I looked at the flame in my hand and a slight smile appeared on my lips.

"Next..." "Next, I'll show you true power!" I shouted, and the blazing white flame in my hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that swept towards Fei Yu with an aura of earth-shattering destruction.

This flame is no ordinary fire; it is the fire of Nirvana, a power fused with the new laws I have comprehended! It not only possesses the power to burn all things, but can also scorch the soul and purify all filth.

Fei Yu was clearly caught off guard by my sudden display of such powerful magic. A flicker of panic crossed his previously disdainful eyes as he hastily conjured a defensive barrier. However, the Nirvana Fire was unstoppable, burning through his barrier in an instant, and the roaring fire dragon engulfed him.

Fei Yu's screams echoed throughout the land of inheritance, but I felt no pity whatsoever. To obtain the inheritance, he resorted to any means necessary, even colluding with the Netherworld Ghost King to harm innocent cultivators. His fate was entirely his own doing.

After raging for a while, the fire dragon gradually dissipated, revealing Fei Yu's figure. He was dressed in rags, his body was charred black, and his breath was extremely weak, making him appear to be on the verge of death.

I slowly walked up to him, looking down at him, a surge of indescribable pleasure welling up inside me. From a useless nobody without spiritual roots to now standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, I've endured countless hardships and made countless sacrifices. Today, I've finally proven myself and avenged the humiliations I suffered!

“You…you actually…” Fei Yu raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

I gave a cold laugh. "What? Still not convinced?"

He coughed violently a few times, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. "I...I won't lose to you...I still have..."

His voice grew softer and softer, his gaze becoming increasingly unfocused. A chill ran through me; a bad premonition washed over me. Did he have some other trick up his sleeve?

Just then, Fei Yu's body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, and a powerful energy wave spread out from his body. I felt an immense pressure coming towards me, and my body involuntarily took a few steps back.

Fei Yu's previously dim eyes regained their light and became incredibly sharp. He stared intently at me, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Xiao Yao, do you think you've won? The real battle has only just begun!"

He suddenly stood up, his golden light growing even brighter, like a golden sun illuminating the entire inheritance ground. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, making me feel suffocated.

Alarm bells rang in my mind, and I instinctively sensed danger. I quickly gathered all my spiritual power to prepare for his attack.

Fei Yu slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a golden ball of light was condensing, radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

He looked at me, his eyes icy. "Ready to face death?"

I clenched my fists, my eyes resolute. "The outcome is still uncertain!"

Fei Yu sneered, and the golden sphere in his hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot towards me…
