Whoosh!
The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth appeared abruptly in the sky above Lu Yong, and numerous lifelike ancient horned dragon silhouettes condensed into form.
First, 40 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared, and then another 30 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared.
Third level of the Void Interpretation Stage!
Second level Intermediate Fire Concept!
All of this wasn't the end.
Along with strands of material azure and violet colored energy leaping about within the flames, another five and three ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared successively in the sky.
Fifth level Elementary Wind Concept!
Third level Elementary Lightning Concept!
In the sky, a total of 78 ancient horned dragon silhouettes coiled down in a menacing manner, and it brought a form of visual shock to others.
This was still the Darming Dynasty's Crown Prince, Lu Yong, hadn't utilized a spirit weapon.
Whoosh!
With a raise of Lu Yong's hand, a fan made of unknown material appeared out of thin air, and the fan only had a frame and no face.
Along with the flames on Lu Yong's body gushing into the fan, the fan was enveloped by a layer of flames and transformed into a flaming fan that ceaselessly swallowed and spat out scorching flames.
In the sky, the energy of the heavens and the earth roiled once more as a group of ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared, and when one looked carefully, there was a total of 27 ancient horned dragon silhouettes.
Besides these 27 ancient horned dragon silhouettes, 2,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes had appeared as well.
"The full force of a third level Void Interpretation Stage Origin Energy is comparable to the strength of 40 ancient horned dragons! An amplification of 27 ancient horned dragons and 2,000 ancient mammoths … The spirit fan in Lu Yong's hand is a grade three spirit weapon that can amplify strength by 68%! "
At the first possible moment, Duan Lingtian discerned the ability of the spirit fan in Lu Yong's hand.
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised that Lu Yong was able to withdraw such a grade three spirit weapon. He was the Crown Prince of the Darming Dynasty at any rate, so how could he possibly not possess a grade three spirit weapon to rely on?
"The strength of 105 ancient horned dragons and 2,000 ancient mammoths …"
Duan Lingtian's pupils couldn't help but constrict as he looked at the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth in the sky above Lu Yong.
With Lu Yong's current strength.
Not to mention he'd only comprehended first level Intermediate Wind Concept, even if he'd comprehended second level Intermediate Wind Concept, it was impossible for him to be a match for Lu Yong.
"According to my current knowledge, amongst the young geniuses of the various Dynasties, perhaps only Zi Shang is capable of defeating Lu Yong after being possessed by the incomplete soul of the expert suspected to be Emperor Wu!"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall that when Lu Yong had just appeared earlier, he'd said something about Zi Shang not killing him.
Obviously, Lu Yong had fought with Zi Shang before. At that time, Zi Shang should have been possessed by the remnant soul of the expert suspected to be Emperor Wu. He had forcefully defeated Lu Yong but had not killed him.
Of course, Zi Shang didn't kill Lu Yong not because he was benevolent, and it was because he wanted to use Lu Yong to deal with him!
"This Zi Shang is so scheming!"
Duan Lingtian looked at Zi Shang, his face completely gloomy. His eyes flashed with a murderous light as if he was about to devour someone.
At this moment, his desire to kill Zi Shang grew even stronger.
So long as Zi Shang wasn't eliminated, he would sooner or later be a great calamity!
"What? Want to kill me?"
A brilliant smile appeared on Zi Shang's face when he noticed Duan Lingtian's gaze that was filled with killing intent. "But unfortunately, you don't have the chance … You're bound to die here today, at the hands of Lu Yong!"
"If there's a next life, remember well … Don't offend me, Zi Shang. I, Zi Shang, am not someone you, Duan Lingtian, can afford to offend! "
As he finished speaking, Zi Shang beamed with joy, and he seemed as if he'd already seen the scene of Duan Lingtian being killed by Lu Yong.
"Zi Shang, are you so sure that Lu Yong can kill me?"
A talisman appeared out of thin air in Duan Lingtian's right hand. It was precisely one of the three talismans his deadbeat father had left him that day, and he'd used the first one in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom earlier.
That talisman had killed a Void Transformation Stage expert of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family.
Now, only two talismans remained in his possession.
Truthfully speaking, he didn't want to use the talisman on Lu Yong. Even though Lu Yong was the Crown Prince of the Darming Dynasty, as far as he was concerned, Lu Yong wasn't worthy of dying under this talisman.
This wasn't an ordinary talisman, and even if it was a Void Transformation Stage expert, the expert would be instantly killed when facing this talisman.
The reluctance in Duan Lingtian's heart to use this talisman to kill a mere third level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist was obvious.
"Nevermind … After I kill Lu Yong, Zi Shang will be unable to escape death as well! A talisman in exchange for their lives. Even though I'll still suffer a great loss, at any rate, I'll be able to preserve my own life. "
Duan Lingtian ceaselessly consoled himself, otherwise, he was really worried that he wouldn't be willing to toss out the talisman in his hand to crush Lu Yong.
"Hmph! Stop trying to be mysterious! Lu Yong, kill him. "
Zi Shang was disdainful when he heard Duan Lingtian, and he shouted out in a light voice.
Lu Yong's gaze locked onto Duan Lingtian at the first possible moment when he heard this, and then his entire body seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that flashed directly towards Duan Lingtian.
"Brother Ling Tian, watch out!"
Zhang Shou Yong's face went grim as he shouted out explosively. Even though he knew that he was far from being a match for Lu Yong, he still withdrew his wine gourd and intended to go stop Lu Yong.
"You're courting death!"
Zi Shang grunted in a low voice as killing intent arose in his eyes, and he seemed to have transformed into a brutal wild beast that flashed towards Zhang Shou Yong.
Whoosh!
When faced with Lu Yong who approached menacingly, Duan Lingtian raised his hand that held the talisman and intended to toss it out to crush Lu Yong.
Right when he intended to toss out the talisman, he felt something flash before his eyes, and it caused him to instinctively grip the talisman tightly in his hand and not toss it out.
At the same time, his vision went black, and it was as if something unusual had suddenly occurred in the entire heavens and the earth in his surroundings.
"Haha! I never expected that my luck would be so good!"
At this instant, Duan Lingtian completely came to his senses and understood what had happened.
Right when this joyous thought had just arisen in Duan Lingtian's mind, an expanse of light arose before his eyes, and he appeared in the sky above an exceedingly spacious combat arena.
"I've come out!"
As he casually put away the talisman in his hand, Duan Lingtian revealed a brilliant smile.
Duan Lingtian naturally knew what was going on before his eyes.
When Lu Yong made a move against him with the intention of killing him, and when he intended to toss out the talisman to crush Lu Yong.
Within the Illusory Purgatory, the 44th person had been killed.
44 people had been killed, and only 50 people remained, and it meant that the first round of the selections had come to an end.
On the other hand, they were sent out by the Illusory Purgatory created by the Inscription Formation in a timely manner, and it allowed him to save an exceedingly precious talisman.
"My luck is simply heaven defying!"
Even though he wasn't able to kill Lu Yong and Zi Shang, Duan Lingtian didn't feel it was a pity in the slightest.
So long as he left the Illusory Purgatory, his Spiritual Force wouldn't be controlled any longer, and he would be able to utilize the soul skill, Thousand Illusions, as he pleased.
Now, he was entirely capable of killing Lu Yong and Zi Shang without utilizing a talisman!
"Hahahaha!"
After a short moment, Zhang Shou Yong's roaring laughter sounded out in a timely manner, and it was filled with delight.
Obviously, he'd realized what had happened earlier as well.
Originally, he already had the thought of certain death, yet at the critical moment, such a scene had occurred, and it caused him to have no choice but to sigh with emotion about his and Duan Lingtian's luck.
Of course, the reason he thought like this was because he utterly didn't know that Duan Lingtian had other methods to kill Lu Yong!
Zi Shang and Lu Yong appeared nearby, and after a wave of bewilderment, they realized what had happened, causing their expressions to go grim.
"Consider yourselves lucky!"
Zi Shang's eyes emitted an icy cold gaze that flashed past Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shouyong as he grunted coldly.
"If I knew this would happen, I would have made a move earlier … If I made a move earlier, it would have been impossible for this Duan Lingtian to survive!"
Lu Yong sighed and felt it was slightly regretful.
He knew that since they'd left the Illusory Purgatory now, it also meant that Duan Lingtian was able to utilize that illusory realm soul skill of his.
According to the information he obtained from Zi Shang, once Duan Lingtian utilized that illusory realm soul skill against him, he would practically have no chance of survival.
"He's out!"
"Haha! He's out! "
…
Meanwhile, the group of young geniuses that appeared out of thin air above the combat ring with Duan Lingtian's group roared with laughter, and some even lost their composure as they cheered.
To them, the time they experienced within the Illusory Purgatory was simply a type of torture, and they were worried at every single moment if they would encounter an existence that was stronger than them and be killed.
Now, they'd come out and survived the first round of the selections. Moreover, they'd obtained the qualifications to advance to participate in the second round of the selections.
But in next to no time, the group of young geniuses that were originally cheering seemed to have noticed something, and all of them seemed as if their throats were held tightly by someone, causing them to be unable to make a sound any longer.
The numerous corpses that lay on the combat ring ceaselessly struck their eyes, and it caused them to shudder with terror.
These people were just like them before they entered the Illusory Purgatory. They were all living people.
But now, when they'd come out of the Illusory Purgatory, they'd instead transformed into numerous icy cold corpses.
Many of these people were their friends and companions.
It was precisely the death of these people that had won them the chance to survive.
Unknowingly, the sky above the combat ring was deathly silent.
"Ye Xiao, Bai He, Bai Hao … All of them are dead?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the four corpses that were piled together. It was four of the 10 young geniuses that had come from the Darkhan Dynasty, and three of them were existences with extraordinary strengths.
These three people weren't unfamiliar to Duan Lingtian.
The Ye Clan's Eldest Young Master, Ye Xiao, the Darkhan Dynasty's Second Prince, Bai He, and the Young Prince, Bai Hao.
"I never imagined that even Bai Hao is dead."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but gasp.
He knew of Bai Hao's strength, and it was extremely extraordinary.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Bai Hao to obtain the third position in the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition one year ago.
"Only Zi Shang remains from the Imperial Family … The blood relatives of the Emperor have all died, I presume he doesn't feel well."
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but look at the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor.
