Chapter 570: Adamant Nymph

Tang San\'s heart stirred, "A descendant of the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor?"

Mei Gongzi nodded and said, "Yes. The Adamant Nymph Emperor ranks relatively low among the Nymph Emperors, but it’s a very troublesome opponent. Even the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor couldn\'t do much against it. They are said to have dueled many times. Although the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor technically won, he couldn\'t completely break through its defenses or injure it in any significant way. The Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor called it a stone in a latrine—both stinky and hard. This descendant of the Adamant Nymph Emperor must be quite strong to make it into the quarter-finals."

Tang San nodded slightly.

The Adamant Nymph had an extremely tough body, and more importantly, strong immunity to pretty much all attributes. Whether it was water, fire, wind, or whatever else, none of it had any effect on it.

However, Big Cat was actually quite fortunate to encounter such an opponent. His own abilities were adept at dealing with tough opponents. He didn\'t rely much on any elemental attribute. This match was inevitably going to degenerate into a slugfest, which was in fact perfect for Big Cat.

Big Cat had likely acquired the God-Slaying Sword and could use this Adamant Nymph opponent to get used to it.

Those like the Adamant Nymphs had no fancy tricks; their matches were straightforward collisions, a contest of strength. With Big Cat\'s continuous improvements and the support of the lion race, he was vastly different from before. In a contest of pure strength, he had a significant chance of winning.

The two opponents faced each other. As the referee announced the start of the match, this head-on battle began instantly.

The Lion-Tiger Golden Force on Big Cat surged out almost immediately.

The white-hot Golden Force was noticeably more solid, and the originally pure platinum color now faintly showed a hint of gold. Ordinary spectators might not see it, but Tang San, who also possessed Lion-Tiger Golden Force, noticed it instantly. He knew this was likely due to Big Cat\'s bloodline being influenced by the Golden Pill, which caused it to evolve to a certain extent. The Lion-Tiger Golden Force based on a golden bloodline was definitely more powerful than that of an ordinary Lion-Tiger. The lion race and the Golden Lion clan had made a significant investment this time!

Yesterday, before parting ways with the Peacock Great Demon King, Tang San specifically asked him about the Golden Pill. The Peacock Great Demon King told him that the pill was basically divine medicine, but it came with major limitations. First, it had to be refined using the essence blood of a person with a golden bloodline, which was incredibly precious to begin with. Second, a single Golden Pill required almost the full amount of essence blood. This was because it could only be made from the blood of one individual—the blood could not be mixed.

A Golden Pill was equivalent to the life of a golden-blooded individual. These were extremely rare even within the golden clans. Obviously, nobody was willing to use all their essence blood to create a pill for others. Thus, the ingredient was the essence blood of individuals who died an untimely death; once their relatives and the clan approved it, this blood would be used to refine a Golden Pill.

Third, the success rate was not high, so the number of Golden Pills was extremely limited. They were the most precious treasure of a golden clan, and it would only be awarded to absolutely exceptional individuals from within that clan. One would not even see it at auctions—and there was another reason for it, beyond its sheer value. The fourth limitation was that a Golden Pill refined from the essence blood of a certain clan could only be used by that clan and other clans of the same race; others could not use it.

The Golden Lion King giving the Golden Pill to Big Cat was a gesture made with clear intentions. Big Cat, with his incredible combat prowess and willpower displayed in the matches, had earned the Golden Lions’ recognition. Additionally, they had realized that this Lion-Tiger Sword Saint indeed possessed a first-tier bloodline, which was exactly what the Golden Lion clan lacked the most. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and with the God-Slaying Sword as a token of their promise, they chose to invest in Big Cat, or rather, in the entire Lion-Tiger clan.

So, even though it had only been two days, with the support of the Golden Pill, Big Cat’s bloodline power had reached a new level. The might of the Lion-Tiger Golden Force had significantly increased.

The Adamant Nymph spread its arms to its sides, and its skin began to turn crystal clear. It sprang up and charged straight at Big Cat with incredible speed.

Big Cat coldly watched his opponent. He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a dark golden light appeared in his palm. A massive heavy sword fell into his hand, and as he held it, it seemed perfectly natural—as if it had been custom-made for him. A chilling killing intent erupted from him almost instantly.

He held nothing back; the God-Killing Domain was immediately activated to the fullest.

At this point in the competition, he didn\'t need to hold anything back. After all, if he won this match, he would meet Tang San in the semi-finals.

As if stimulated by the God-Killing Domain, the God-Slaying Sword in Big Cat\'s hand suddenly emitted a meter-long dark golden sword light. The chilling killing intent burst forth instantly. He took a step forward into the void and fiercely slashed at the Adamant Nymph. In that moment, his entire body seemed to merge with the God-Slaying Sword. With one slash, it was as if he was cutting through the entire world.

The Golden Lion King in the VIP seats saw this scene and couldn\'t help but bristle up, instinctively clenching his fists. At this moment, the sword light bursting from the God-Slaying Sword made him feel as if he were seeing the glory of the sword\'s previous master.

Although Big Cat\'s cultivation was far inferior, at this moment, the coordination between his God-Killing Domain and the God-Slaying Sword was simply perfect. The sword, inherently filled with a killing aura, appeared even sharper under the enhancement of the God-Killing Domain!

In his VIP box, the White Tiger Demon Emperor was silently watching the match. When he saw Big Cat unleash this slash, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and his feline pupils gleamed.

The Adamant Nymph didn\'t dodge. It raised its arms, and the spectators noticed that at some point, a pair of armguards had appeared on its forearms.

With a loud bang, the Adamant Nymph was blasted back seven or eight steps, while Big Cat did not even flinch.

The fierce killing intent expanded unabated. Big Cat barely paused for half a second before moving forward once more, unleashing seven consecutive strikes. Each slash from the God-Slaying Sword was heavier than the last! The terrifying sword light and sword intent, stimulated by the God-Killing Domain, seemed to envelop the entire arena in a chilling atmosphere. There wasn\'t any particularly grand or magnificent display, but each slash felt as if it struck the hearts of the spectators, causing their hearts to waver, captured by the overwhelming killing intent.

The Adamant Nymph didn\'t dodge. In fact, after being locked onto by the God-Killing Domain, it couldn\'t dodge. Its greatest strength lay in its defense, which it now utilized to the fullest. Though it was forced to retreat step by step, it didn\'t seem to suffer any injuries.

A closer look, however, revealed that the pair of armguards now bore several deep indentations.

The Adamant Nymph clan lacked for nothing; in fact, one would be hard-pressed to find a wealthier clan. These armguards were a divine artifact, crafted from adamant and thus perfectly matching the wearer. Yet the Adamant Nymph warrior now wore a bitter expression; clearly, things were not going well.

Big Cat\'s attacks were ferocious, and the sharpness of the God-Slaying Sword was closely tied to the user\'s fighting spirit. The stronger the user\'s fighting spirit, the stronger the killing intent and sharpness the sword could unleash.

The most terrifying aspect of the God-Slaying Sword was that it had no other abilities; no long-ranged attacks, no attribute enhancement, nothing. It was considered a divine weapon solely because of its toughness, sharpness, and the killing intent it radiated. With the enhancement of the God-Killing Domain, all these characteristics were pushed to the extreme, and as it was empowered by the Lion-Tiger Golden Force, the sword was simply unmatched. Even the defense of the Adamant Nymph fell short.

1. Just a reminder that the "adamant" here is the legendary indestructible material that has been mentioned in chapter 361 when the Indestructible Adamant Nymph Emperor was introduced. Yes, this is where the equally legendary MCU "adamantium" comes from. ☜
