A hundred Earth Immortal Realm experts would fight at the same time and there would be seven rounds to determine the final ranking.
This was the most efficient and reasonable rule.
It could prevent the top geniuses from encountering each other in advance and causing one of them to be eliminated, resulting in an inaccurate ranking.
For example, it was difficult for the first and second place of the elimination round to meet each other in the first few rounds.
Xie Ling tapped lightly with his fingertips and a surge of True Yuan surged into the ground in the middle of the square.
Rumble!
Under everyone's gaze, fifty square bluestones slowly rose from the center of the square and floated in mid-air.
The bluestones were flat and huge, more than enough to be the battlefield for the Earth Immortal Realm experts.
"Everyone, get ready. According to the corresponding numbers on the bluestone battlefield, you can enter the battlefield."
Xie Ling said loudly.
In the middle of each bluestone, there was a number.
The one with the number "1" was the first battlefield. The first place of the elimination round and the 100th Earth Immortal Realm expert would fight on this bluestone battlefield.
Su Zimo was ranked 68th and would fight the 33rd Earth Immortal Realm expert on the 33rd bluestone battlefield.
Coincidentally, his opponent was Dou Yuan from the Xue family, whom he had fought once on the long street of Monarch City.
Figures leaped up and stood on the bluestone battlefield. The battle was about to begin.
"There are not many rules and restrictions on the cultivators in the ranking battle. They can use Dharma treasures, talismans, pills, and they can also fight to the death!"
Xie Ling said in a deep voice, "However, if the opponent leaves the bluestone battlefield, they can no longer attack."
Many cultivators had already known about this in advance.
If someone left the bluestone battlefield, many of the Heaven Immortals present, including Xie Ling, could stop them at any time.
"The Earth Ranking Battle has officially begun!"
Xie Ling saw that the 100 Earth Immortals had all arrived on the bluestone battlefield and shouted softly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As soon as Xie Ling finished speaking, more than 30 bluestone battlefields instantly broke out into a great battle. The sound of Dharma treasures colliding was deafening!
Although it was a ranking battle, it was also an elimination round.
As long as they lost a round, they would not have the chance to enter the second round.
Therefore, no cultivator dared to hold back.
As soon as the battle broke out, there was a battle that had already been decided.
The first battlefield.
With just one move, Feng Yin knocked the 100th Earth Immortal down from the Bluestone Battlefield. The opponent didn't even have time to react!
Feng Yin's movement technique speed was astonishingly fast!
The spectators were not surprised by this scene, and they all nodded inwardly.
Many cultivators shifted their gazes. They didn't look at the second or third battlefield, but at the 33rd battlefield.
The two people on the battlefield didn't fight directly.
Dou Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Cultivator Su, my combat strength is definitely no match for yours. However, no matter who wins or loses, the ranking must be calculated. I can only fight with all my strength. Please forgive me. "
Dou Yuan had also witnessed the shocking battle in the Nine Heavens with his own eyes.
He knew very well that if Su Zimo was in his peak state, he would not be his opponent at all. But now, he had a slight chance of winning.
"Come."
Su Zimo looked indifferent.
Even though he knew that Su Zimo was in a weak state, he did not dare to be careless. He swiped his storage bag and pulled out his Destiny Dharma treasure immediately!
A long saber with a cold glint appeared in his hands. Mysterious patterns were carved on the saber and its aura was sharp and powerful.
A connate Earth-grade Dharma treasure!
Almost all the Earth Immortals who were qualified to participate in the ranking battle had a connate Earth-grade Dharma treasure!
Some Earth Immortals who came from Sky-class sects with extraordinary backgrounds might have more than one.
For example, the Scarlet Princess had as many as three connate Earth-grade Dharma treasures!
Two of them came from the Flaming Sun Immortal Kingdom and one from Heaven and Earth Academy.
At the same time that Dou Yuan summoned his Destiny Dharma treasure, he crushed a protection talisman. Instantly, a protective barrier filled with runes formed around him.
Boom!
The moment he did those two actions, Su Zimo stomped his feet on the ground, causing the Bluestone Battlefield to shake and Dou Yuan heard a deafening sound.
The next moment, Su Zimo had already arrived before him!
Even without using any movement techniques or secret skills, his speed was extremely terrifying just by relying on his physical strength!
Swoosh!
Dou Yuan's expression was calm as he hollered. He raised the saber in his hands and slashed down at Su Zimo.
That slash was extremely powerful and it burst forth with an incomparably ferocious aura!
At the same time, the patterns on the saber lit up and released an incomparably resplendent brilliance. It was like a scorching sun that shone into Su Zimo's eyes!
The name of the saber was the Blind Saber. When the patterns on the saber were activated with essence qi, they would release a dazzling light the moment they exchanged blows.
If the opponent was caught off guard, they would be temporarily blinded.
However, Qinglian's five senses were too strong.
Furthermore, Su Zimo's eyes were fused with two divine stones each.
The light of the Blind Saber had no effect on him at all.
Su Zimo did not even bat an eyelid. He merely raised his palm casually and curled, shook and tugged at the Blind Saber!
Buzz!
The Blind Saber vibrated continuously, as though it was wailing.
Dou Yuan was alarmed and he felt a sharp pain in his palm. He lost his grip and the Blind Saber was snatched away by Su Zimo barehanded!
Swash!
After Su Zimo snatched the saber, he slashed in reverse!
Swoosh!
The flash of the saber beam resembled raging waves crashing against the shore and the rolling tides with a majestic aura!
The light was resplendent.
Dou Yuan could no longer see the saber or Su Zimo in front of him.
The only thing he could see was the tsunami that was a thousand feet tall with a terrifying aura. It roared and surged over fiercely, crashing against his body!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before the first wave subsided, another wave rose and the tides surged endlessly!
Not only was Dou Yuan blinded, even his five senses were reduced to their limits.
It was as though he was in a torrential wave that stretched as far as the eye could see. Even if he had countless divine powers and secret skills, he could not control himself and could only float along with the waves!
"Such a saber technique … is truly stunning!"
"To think that this disciple of the academy would have such a move. I've never heard of any superior saber techniques in the academy before!"
"That's a saber connecting to heaven!"
The meaning of a saber connecting to heaven was that the power of that saber could match divine powers!
A series of exclamations sounded from both sides of the spectator area.
However, Dou Yuan could not hear those sounds at all.
Piak!
Suddenly, Dou Yuan shuddered and jolted awake.
The turbid waves before his eyes had all disappeared. It was as if everything was just an illusion.
However, he had already fallen from the Green Stone Battlefield onto the ground. Unknowingly, the protection talisman on him had shattered as well.
He had lost.
There was no doubt about it.
Clang!
Right then, a cold light flashed and entered the ground before him.
Su Zimo had tossed the Blind Saber in front of him casually.
"Ugh."
With a conflicted expression, Dou Yuan withdrew his Blind Saber and cupped his fists towards Su Zimo. "Thank you for showing mercy, fellow Daoist."
With that, Dou Yuan retreated to his seat.
