In fact, most of the young geniuses who had come to participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses were already mentally prepared to face the Celestial Emperor Realm.
After all, they were here to serve as foils.
They were here to serve as foils for the young geniuses who had the strength of a titled Celestial Emperor.
Naturally, many of them were here to seek a breakthrough. After all, they had heard that many geniuses would break through during the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses in the past. Although they did not receive any substantial rewards in the end, being able to break through was already the best reward they could get.
For this reason, they could not help but feel envious when they saw Wang Ting and the other two young geniuses who had the strength of a titled Celestial Emperor Realm.
"I thought I'd be able to break through … In the end, I was so close to breaking through."
"Me too. I was so close to breaking through, but I didn't make it. "
"These three young geniuses are really lucky. They managed to break through at the most critical moment and possess strength comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. If they didn't participate in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through before they reach the age of 1,000."
…
Many people who had been eliminated and those who had the strength of a titled Celestial Emperor who had the strength of a titled Celestial Emperor could not help but sigh.
Some people looked at Wang Ting and the other two young geniuses enviously. "So what if they've broken through? Since they passed the first round, even if they pass the second round, there's still a chance they'll be eliminated in the third round. At most, they'll make it to the fourth round. "
Naturally, these people were jealous of Wang Ting and the other three young geniuses. Not many people paid them any attention.
If they were given a choice, they would still choose to break through or not.
They were merely jealous of Wang Ting and the other two young geniuses.
"I hereby announce the end of the first round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses …"
At this moment, Xu Konghai, one of the Vice Palace Masters of the Main Hall of the Title Temple, announced loudly, "Now, the 1,000 people who passed the first round will have two hours to rest. After that, the second round will begin."
As soon as Xu Konghai finished speaking, the crowd returned to their seats one after another.
None of them were worried that they would be mixed up with those who had been eliminated.
Because those who were eliminated absolutely didn't have the guts to participate in the second round of selection after the first round … This kind of small method of fishing in troubled waters would only cause the lucky ones to lose their lives.
In the history of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, there were always people who tried to take advantage of the situation. However, all of them were killed by the people from the Title Temple who were in charge of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Even the disciples of Heavenly Emperors were killed.
If anyone tried to take advantage of the situation, the Title Temple would view it as a challenge to its authority.
Furthermore, it was only a thousand people, so it was easy to remember them.
Even if an ordinary person wanted to, it would be very difficult for them to remember a thousand people.
However, would it be difficult for a God who was above the Ten Directions Celestial Emperors to remember a thousand people?
Apart from that, the Vice Palace Masters of the Title Temples' branches in the Devata Realms had already recorded the names of the young geniuses who had advanced to the Devata Realms.
Even the names of the young geniuses from the Heavenly Emperor Palace in the Devata Realms had been recorded in the Title Temple's branches.
For example, before the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, the Vice Palace Masters of the Title Temple's branch in the Solitary Destructive Heaven had gone to look for Meng Luo and asked for their information so that they could keep tabs on the names of Duan Lingtian, Zhang Tian You, and Wang Ting.
Currently, the Vice Palace Masters of the Title Temple's branch in the Solitary Destructive Heaven had recorded the names of the young geniuses who had advanced to the Devata Realms.
"Including the four people from the Heavenly Emperor Palace, we have a total of 23 people from the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Currently, 13 of them have advanced to the Devata Realms.
That's not bad, "the Vice Palace Master of the Title Temple's branch in the Solitary Destructive Heaven said with a smile.
The Vice Palace Master nodded. "Yes, that's not bad."
"However, what surprised me the most is the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Earlier, when he faced the fifth wave of pressure from Vice Palace Master Xu, he remained calm. He doesn't seem like an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor."
Upon hearing the Vice Palace Master's words, the Vice Palace Master's expression turned solemn. "It seems like the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Feng Qingyang is at least a Two Star God of War."
"How shocking! He's only slightly over 600 years old, but he's already a Two Star God of War."
Upon hearing the Vice Palace Master's words, the Vice Palace Master turned to look at the young man standing next to Duan Lingtian. "That young man's name is Su Li from the Jade Emperor Heaven. He's about the same age as Duan Lingtian. He's at least a Two Star God of War."
"Both of them are monstrous geniuses in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses."
…
Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye.
It did not take long for the two hours to pass by.
As for those young geniuses who had been exhausted in the first round, they had all recovered in these two hours.
After all, what they had just experienced was not a battle of life and death. They had only consumed a certain amount of Celestial Core Power and some mental energy. If they wanted to recover, they would only need a few hours. Two hours was more than enough.
Many of them even chatted for more than half an hour after they had recovered.
"The 1,000 people who passed the first round will now enter the arena."
As soon as Xu Konghai, the Vice Palace Master of the Main Hall of the Title Temple who was in charge of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses, spoke, the 1,000 young geniuses who had survived until the end of the first round flew into the arena in the middle of the spectator area.
1,000 young geniuses, no more, no less.
As soon as they entered the arena, Xu Konghai raised his hand and sent a wave of energy into the vast arena. The arena immediately lit up. First, a translucent beam of light rose into the air before a white light shrouded the arena.
At the same time, the light shrouded Duan Lingtian and the others as well.
Due to the large size of the arena, it did not seem crowded even if 1,000 people were to enter the arena.
At the same time, Xu Konghai's voice rang again.
"I'm sure most of you know the rules of the second round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses … I'll repeat it now. 1,000 people will fight without discrimination. 700 people will be eliminated, and the second round will end when 300 people are left.
Each person will have one jade token. If you crush it at a critical moment, it'll send you out of the Formation's light shield. "
When he spoke up to here, Xu Kong Hai raised his hand and 1,000 jade tokens descended from the horizon like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and they accurately descended towards the group of young geniuses including Duan Ling Tian. On the other hand, the 1,000 young geniuses firmly held onto their jade tokens in their hands.
The jade tokens were life-saving treasures at critical moments.
Although the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses was not a battle of life and death, it was not unusual for one to kill the young geniuses.
"Naturally, you'll be eliminated if you crush your jade token. Apart from that, you'll also be eliminated if you leave the area covered by the Formation's light shield on your own.
You'll also be eliminated if you're eliminated, "Xu Konghai said.
For a time, Duan Ling Tian and the others glanced at the Formation light shield to determine the specific gap between them so that they would not accidentally create their own Formation light shield during the battle and be eliminated miserably.
"Isn't this place too small?"
"1,000 people won't be able to fight freely in such a small place!"
…
Many people began to complain.
However, it was the same for everyone. It was useless even if they complained. It did not mean that everyone was treated differently.
"You have 15 minutes to prepare."
Xu Konghai's voice rang again, shocking Duan Lingtian and the others. "After 15 minutes, I'll announce the start of the Battle of the Geniuses. You'll be able to eliminate the others."
As soon as Xu Konghai finished speaking, an uproar broke out among the 1,000 participants.
Some of them knew each other, and some of them did not know each other, and they began to look for someone to work with so they would not be eliminated in the second round.
"I don't care anymore … No matter how high the price is, I'll pass the second round and enter the third round even if I'll be eliminated in the third round."
A young man dressed in brocade robes said through gritted teeth, "I'll find someone who's a titled Celestial Emperor to help me pass the second round. Once I pass the second round and enter the third round, I'll be able to boast to everyone that I've advanced to the third round of the Devata Realms' Battle of Geniuses!"
"Being eliminated in the second round and being eliminated in the third round are two completely different things!"
Quite a few people had similar thoughts.
For this reason, they were willing to work with someone who could help them enter the third round.
Although these people were willing to pay the price, none of them came looking for Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel puzzled. 'What's wrong with these people?'
Put aside the question of whether he would agree to work with them, these people should at least ask him, right?
Tong Tu, the fourth true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Xuanyuan Heaven, had been defeated by Duan Ling Tian, and yet, many people had approached him to ask if he was willing to work with them.
Duan Lingtian knew most of the people who came to look for Tong Tu were after Tong Tu's senior brother, Yu Dong Fang.
He was certain Yu Dong Fang would help Tong Tu enter the third round.
"Duan Lingtian, it seems like they don't have high hopes for us."
Su Li shook his head with a wry smile on his face. He could see those who were weaker than titled Celestial Emperors did not approach them even though they were all titled Celestial Emperors. It was as though they would be in danger if they followed them.
In the end, someone stepped forward to ask Ling Jueyun.
It was Feng Qing Tian's young prodigy. He had come here with Feng Qing Tian's Title Temple's branch so he was aware of Ling Jueyun's strength.
However, after Ling Jueyun rejected the young prodigy's offer, 15 minutes had passed. No one was interested in Duan Lingtian and the others anymore.
"The second round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses begins now!"
Xu Kong Hai's voice arrived as scheduled, deafening everyone's ears!
