Seeing the red-haired man flying towards Shun Long, the crowd inside the House of Rankings was excited.

People had seen Shun Long gathering many ranking points in the last 2 days, and they knew that he was probably already at the top 5 in this survival test.

As for the red-haired man, now that he had 139 ranking points, he was definitely within the top 10.

Looking at the early rank 4 Spirit realm cultivator who was flying towards him, Shun Long didn't feel any fear.

Instead, he felt excitement as he was ready to test his strength to the fullest.

Even if he wasn't able to defeat an early rank 4 Spirit realm expert, Shun Long was still confident in fighting against one.

Activating the 'Monarch's Hourglass', his eyes immediately turned golden, while blue wisps of light appeared inside them as well.

At the same time, he activated the 'Monarch's Domain', as the invisible figure of an hourglass expanded from his body in a radius of 200 meters around him.

Although the red-haired man failed to realize it, his speed was reduced by 10 percent as soon as he entered inside Shun Long's 'Monarch's Domain'.

Actually, it was more accurate to say, that the flow of time around the red-haired man, was restricted, and was now flowing 10 percent slower than before.

As soon as he felt Shun Long's aura at the early rank 1 in Spirit realm, a sneering smile appeared on the red-haired man's face.

The moment that the red-haired man had arrived just 100 meters away from Shun Long, he clenched his fist before he punched the air in front of him.

The flames around his body seemed to have turned into an enormous flame fist, that burned the air itself as it moved towards Shun Long.

Shun Long could feel the temperature around him rising rapidly as the powerful flame fist approached closer and closer to his body.

Even with his peak third stage 'Monarch's Eternal body', Shun Long knew, that he would sustain serious injuries if this flame fist connected with his body.

Raising his right hand he then pointed forward, as the qi inside the single ball of qi that was hovering above his head, was quickly gathered at his forefinger.

Sparks of lightning appeared on his finger, before a sudden bolt of thunder left Shun Long's body, heading towards the fist of flame in the air.

BOOOM

The sound of thunder booming sounded in the sky, before Shun Long's thunderbolt finger collided directly with the powerful flame fist.

A powerful explosion of fire and lightning filled the sky, the moment the thunderbolt finger met with the flame fist.

And yet, even though the flame fist was halted for a moment, it continued to fly forward, practically devouring the thunderbolt finger.

The red-haired young man was stunned for a moment, after seeing his martial skill being halted in the air by Shun Long's thunderbolt, but shortly afterwards, a sneering smile had formed on his lips, as he saw the flame fist continuing to fly forward. ...

Although part of the flames had been destroyed when they clashed with the 'Thunderbolt finger', the red-haired man knew, that the power of the flame fist was still enough to destroy any peak rank 3 Spirit realm cultivator.

Shun Long sighed inwardly when he saw the thunderbolt finger being swallowed by the flame fist, but he had already expected this outcome.

After all, with the power of a single ball of qi while he had just reached the early rank 1 of the Spirit realm, the chances of him contending against an early rank 4 Spirit realm expert were just too slim.

Shun Long then took out the 'Purple Blossom staff' from the 'Stone of Time', before a blue light covered his body as he activated the second 'Monarch's Domain'.

Holding the 'Purple Blossom staff' from its base, a determined look had filled Shun Long's eyes, as he allowed the incoming flame fist to hit his body.

The giant flame fist pushed Shun Long's body to the ground, creating a large crater in the process, while the powerful flames around it had already covered a radius of 50 meters around Shun Long.

When the red-haired young man saw the giant flame fist engulfing Shun Long's body, he exploded in laughter, as he waited to hear Shun Long's screams while he was being burned alive.

At the same time, an expression of fear had appeared in Liu Mei's face, beneath her white veil, as she watched this scene from the Survival Gate's hall.

Her nails had dug inside her hands, and yet, she didn't even seem to have noticed, as she watched the scene in front of her with an anxious expression.

Liu Mei understood, that if Shun Long's 'Thunderbolt finger' had failed to deal with an opponent's attack, then that attack was surely much more terrifying than it looked.

Indeed, even with his early rank 1 Spirit realm qi as a shield, and his 'Monarch's Eternal body' that had reached the peak of the third stage, the moment that the flame fist hit his body, Shun Long could feel all of his defenses crumbling rapidly.

And yet, despite the pain that was burning his skin, Shun Long gritted his teeth before he gathered the energy of the 'Monarch's Eternal body' towards his upper body.

Holding the 'Purple Blossom staff' from its base, Shun Long's hands burst out with all of his strength, as he threw the staff upwards, towards the red-haired man in the sky.

The flame fist had already turned into a mass of flames after hitting the ground, and it didn't have the power to stop the 'Purple Blossom staff', that was now flying towards the red-haired man like a javelin.

However, even though the 'Purple Blossom staff' was still enshrouded by the crimson flames as it traveled through the air, the red-haired young man's eyes narrowed, almost as if he could see through the flames at the purple-colored staff that was flying towards him.

The crowd in the House of Rankings watched with bated breaths, as crimson flames covered the red-haired young man's left hand, while his eyes stared at the flames in front of him.

Suddenly, a purple-colored staff shot out from the flames, as it headed towards the red-haired man's head like an arrow that had just flew out from a cloud of smoke.

The red-haired man smirked as his hand shot forward, ready to meet the 'Purple Blossom staff' head-on.

At that moment however, Shun Long's eyes had turned a golden blue color, and even though his body was being badly charred by the flames, he still looked towards the red-haired man's direction, as 2 words left his mouth

''Time Prison!''
