Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
Everyone was busy cultivating and increasing their strength in these three days. Even the five elemental elders were no exception.
After all, the rewards of the Conferred God Battle were simply too rich.
When the morning sun shone down from the sky, the quiet space above the God-Sealing Mountain quietly shattered, revealing a passageway.
Behind the passageway was the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring that was surrounded by clouds and mist.
Following the appearance of the spatial passageway and the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring, the figures that were originally sitting cross-legged on the God Conferred Stage slowly opened their eyes at this moment, and their gazes simultaneously landed on the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring.
Under their gazes, a tall and slender figure slowly walked out from the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring and appeared in everyone's line of sight.
This figure was impressively Ye Xuan, who'd cultivated in the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring for three days.
The instant Ye Xuan walked out of the spatial passageway, numerous gazes swept across his body to check his current strength and condition.
Very quickly, doubtful voices came out from the mouths of the crowd.
"What's going on? This guy has been cultivating in the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring for three whole days, why hasn't his strength increased at all? He's still at the Yin Void Stage? "
"That's right, rumor has it that cultivating in the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring can help one break through bottlenecks, improve one's physique, and increase one's lifespan by a thousand years. Why doesn't that guy seem to have changed at all?"
"I don't know. If it was me who soaked in the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring for three days, I might have already broken through to the Rebirth Realm!"
"That guy is just a brat from Earth who has never seen the world before. How would he know how to absorb the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring? I heard that cultivating in the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring requires skill!"
Even Luo Tianshen, Jue Xian, Hun Tianyin, and the five elemental elders frowned slightly. Their gazes towards Ye Xuan were filled with confusion and doubt.
This was because the current Ye Xuan gave them the same feeling as before he entered the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Spring.
Whether it was his cultivation realm or his aura, there was no difference.
Of course, Ye Xuan didn't pay any attention to the discussions and gazes of the crowd. Instead, he directly walked over to where Mad Demon Lin Feng and the Night Goddess were and sat down.
"How is it? Did anything happen in the past three days? "
Ye Xuan asked in a low voice as his gaze descended onto the Night Goddess.
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
Hearing his words, the Night Goddess Ainina, Mad Demon Lin Feng, and the others all smiled and shook their heads.
Everyone gathered together and chatted for a while. The Evil Emperor, who had transformed into an old man, walked onto the stage with his scepter.
As the Evil Emperor walked onto the stage, the people who were discussing among themselves instantly quietened down. They all looked at him and waited for him to speak.
"Three days have passed. I hereby announce the start of the second round of the Conferred God Battles!"
The Evil Emperor's gaze swept across the people around him as a dignified and ancient voice came out of his mouth.
"Boom!"
As his words fell, he lightly tapped the scepter in his hand, and an invisible power quietly spread out. The earth trembled, and the surrounding terrain suddenly changed. War drums rose from the ground and connected to the Conferred God Stage.
Each war drum was especially strange, as if they were lifelike primordial beasts. They emitted a monstrous ferocious might that made people want to retreat and not dare to approach.
Upon closer inspection, these war drums were all engraved with mysterious ancient characters. Some were shaped like Qiongqi, some were shaped like Azure Dragon, some were shaped like White Tiger, some were shaped like Qiuniu, and some were shaped like Yazi … It was dazzling.
Looking at the rising war drums, everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled in their hearts.
"What are these war drums for?"
"Could it be that they're here to liven things up for the second round?"
"However, the momentum and pressure contained within these drums are truly terrifying!"
"These drums look so scary. Could it be that they were refined by a Mythological Beast?"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.
"These drums are Desolate War Drums, and there are a total of thirty-six drums.
Drums, every single drum was created by a supreme and ferocious divine beast in the heavens and the earth, and it contains supreme ferocious might. It's extremely difficult to sound it, and not only does it require formidable strength, it also requires enormous determination, courage, and comprehension towards the Dao! "
The Evil Emperor's voice was slowly transmitted into the ears of everyone present, and a flash of understanding appeared on everyone's faces.
After a short pause, the Evil Emperor suddenly waved the scepter in his hand, and an even more terrifying force spread out, causing the earth to crack and tremble even more violently.
Subsequently, under everyone's shocked gazes, a war drum that emitted endless vicissitudes and ferociousness rose from behind the Evil Emperor, and appeared before everyone's eyes.
This war drum was even bigger than the war drums on the two sides of the Conferred God Stage, and the aura it emitted was even more terrifying!
"The origin of this war drum is even more terrifying than the thirty-six war drums of the Desolate War. It's called the Aspiration War Drum, and those who can beat it are peerless geniuses, and their future achievements will be extremely terrifying!"
"In the second round of the Conferred God Battle, all you have to do is beat the war drum!"
The Evil Emperor ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and slowly explained.
"Beat the drum?"
Hearing his words, everyone present was stunned. A hint of doubt and astonishment appeared on their faces.
"Exactly. Every single drum has an extraordinary origin, and they were refined by peerless divine beasts. Moreover, the violent and ferocious beast's beast soul is sealed within them. Striking it will alarm the beast soul within it, and one will suffer its rage and revenge …"
The Evil Emperor nodded his head lightly and continued, "The second round will be a competition to see who can sound the most drums! Every time one of the thirty-six Desolate War Drums is struck, one point is scored, and every time one of the Aspiration War Drums is struck, one hundred points is scored. The top sixteen people with the highest scores will advance to the next round, and the top three will receive an excess reward! "
"Next, I announce the start of the second round of the Conferred God Battle!"
As the Evil Emperor's words fell, the audience instantly burst into intense cheers and shouts.
Ye Xuan, Mad Demon Lin Feng, and the Night Goddess frowned as they carefully sized up the war drums. Their eyes flashed with a serious and sharp light.
The five elemental elders, Luo Tianshen, Jue Xian, and Hun Tianyin all had serious expressions on their faces. As for the other participants, they looked eager to give it a try.
Many people looked at the war drums with undisguised disdain. Some people couldn't help but say, "Isn't it just beating a drum? What's the big deal?"
"That's right, this is simply making a mountain out of a molehill!"
"It's not like I've never done something like beating a drum before!"
Amidst the discussions and ridicule of the crowd, the Evil Emperor began to draw the first drum bearer.
For the sake of fairness in the competition, it was still a random draw.
Very quickly, a rogue cultivator named Xu Hongfei was selected and stepped onto the stage.
His cultivation had reached the advanced stage of the Nirvana Stage, and his strength was at the bottom of the remaining thirty-six participants.
"Let's begin!"
As the Evil Emperor's ancient and dignified voice fell, everyone's gaze fell on Xu Hongfei.
"Charge!"
Xu Hongfei swept his gaze across the war drums around him. When he didn't find any drum hammers, he took a deep breath and the True Yang Saint Flame burned around his body. It wrapped around his right fist, causing his entire right arm to look like a Fire Qilin's arm.
Subsequently, he let out a furious roar and charged forward like a ferocious tiger. He swung his fist and smashed it towards the Primordial War Drum that was shaped like a Yazi.
Boom!
Puchi …
In the next instant, his fist landed on the war drum, and the dull and heavy sound of the war drum rang out.
A terrifying force was transmitted from the war drum, causing Xu Hongfei's expression to change drastically. Under everyone's shocked gazes, Xu Hongfei's arm, which was wrapped in the Corporeal Yang Sacred Flame, was immediately blown apart by the terrifying force.
Fresh blood spurted out from Xu Hongfei's mouth as he was sent flying like a cannonball. He fell from the stage and caused a large amount of dust to rise. He was seriously injured.
"This …"
"What's going on?"
"Is that the rebound force of the war drum?"
Looking at Xu Hongfei, who had lost an arm and was seriously injured...
Everyone's faces were filled with shock and horror.
They never thought that he would be injured like this just by hitting the drum.
This completely subverted their understanding of the world.
"One point!"
Xu Hongfei, who was seriously injured, looked at the drum in fear. He stood up with difficulty and left the stage with a gloomy expression. At this moment, the Evil Emperor's cold voice rang out.
"Next, Hengyun Sect's Zhang Bufan!"
Subsequently, under the Evil Emperor's call, an expert from the Hengyun Sect, Zhang Bufan, ascended the stage.
With Xu Hongfei as an example, Zhang Bufan did not directly use his body to hit the drum. Instead, he suddenly pulled out the longsword in his hand and slashed out a sword qi towards the drum that Xu Hongfei had hit.
Boom!
Roar!
The Sword Qi landed on the war drum and produced a dull sound, causing a hint of joy to appear on Zhang Bufan's face. Just as he was about to swing his sword again, a furious roar that sounded like Yazi's suddenly rang out.
Ripples rippled on the war drum, and Yazi's head that was filled with anger slowly appeared. It opened its mouth and spat out an even sharper and more majestic Sword Qi, which carried a sharp killing intent, whizzed out like lightning towards Zhang Bufan. Wherever it passed, space was easily torn apart by the Sword Qi.
"Damn it …"
This sudden turn of events caused Zhang Bufan's expression to change drastically. He let out an angry curse, but it was too late for him to dodge. He could only use the longsword in his hand to block in front of him.
Ding!
Crack!
In the next moment, the sound of the Sword Qi colliding with the longsword and the sound of the longsword breaking rang out.
"Ahh …"
Under everyone's shocked and horrified gazes, the longsword in Zhang Bufan's hand was cut apart by the Sword Qi, and the Sword Qi's momentum did not decrease as it landed on Zhang Bufan's body.
Zhang Bufan's chest was instantly torn apart by the Sword Qi, and bright red blood spurted out of Zhang Bufan's mouth. His body was sent flying by the Sword Qi, smashing into the bottom of the Conferred God Stage, and was severely injured.
"One point. Next is the Supreme Soul Sect's Yan Yunfei!"
The Evil Emperor's face did not have the slightest expression or fluctuation as he spoke indifferently.
As his words fell, the outstanding disciple of the Supreme Soul Sect, Yan Yunfei, ascended the stage.
Looking at the war drums, he took a deep breath. With a thought, he formed a seal with both hands and summoned the two Sky Demon Puppets. After all, their Supreme Soul Sect was most proficient in controlling and refining puppets.
Immediately, he controlled the two Sky Demon Puppets to charge towards two different Great Desolate War Drums, causing them to swing their fists and smash towards the Great Desolate War Drums.
"Dong!" "Dong!"
Two muffled drum sounds rang out, and the two Sky Demon Puppets suddenly exploded.
With the puppets destroyed, Yan Yunfei, who was connected to the Sky Demon Puppet's soul, also suffered a huge backlash. A mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth.
However, he did not give up. Instead, he clenched his teeth and charged towards one of the Great Desolate War Drums at lightning speed. He swung his fists and smashed them towards the Great Desolate War Drums.
"Puchi …"
Yan Yunfei's fists landed on the Great Desolate War Drums, but the Great Desolate War Drums did not make any sound. Yan Yunfei was stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes.
Before he could react, a huge backlash struck him, causing his expression to change abruptly. A large amount of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and he was sent flying off the stage.
However, Yan Yunfei was confused as to why the war drums did not make any sound when he punched them.
Could it be that he was not strong enough?
Yan Yunfei was not the only one who was thinking about this. The other participants were also thinking about it.
However, Yan Yunfei's use of the puppets to hit the drums gave many people a good idea.
The Evil Emperor ignored the crowd and spoke indifferently.
"Two points, next is the Saint Devil Derek!"
As his words fell, everyone turned their heads at the same time and their gazes landed on the Saint Devil Derek.
"Don't try to be brave!"
Ye Xuan warned the Saint Devil Derek before he leaped onto the stage.
I wonder how the Saint Devil Derek, who specializes in physical strength, will perform?
