"Possessor of the number 1 token, I'll tear you into pieces right away and replace you!"
The young man with a savage expression stuck out his tongue to lick his dry lips, and his ghastly eyes stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian like a dormant venomous snake.
"That will depend on if you have the ability."
Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently.
This young man with a savage expression before him was the possessor of the number 25 token, and Duan Lingtian had clearly seen it when the young man made a move against the possessor of the number 26 token earlier.
When the young man wanted to beg for mercy, he'd forcefully grabbed the young man's throat and didn't allow the young man to make a single sound.
In the end, the possessor of the number 26 token was torn into pieces by the young man with his bare hands!
His spirit weapon was a grade four spirit weapon glove, and it was worn on his right hand.
"You'll know in a moment."
The ghastly eyes of the young man with a savage expression flashed, and then his figure flashed out as if he'd transformed into a venomous snake that had gone berserk and fiercely bit towards Duan Lingtian.
His gloved hand abruptly stretched out to grab towards Duan Lingtian, and the ghastly flames in the surroundings leaped about and condensed into form, seeming to have transformed into the open mouth of a venomous snake.
In the sky, almost 70 ancient horned dragon silhouettes flashed towards Duan Lingtian in unison and revealed his shocking strength.
Second level of the Void Interpretation Stage!
First level Intermediate Wind Concept!
Grade four spirit weapon!
The young man with a savage expression could be said to have utilized all his ability, and it was a killing move as soon as he attacked with the intention of killing Duan Lingtian.
"You want me to die?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with killing intent as his figure flashed out to move unhurriedly to intercept the young man.
In the eyes of others, it seemed as if Duan Lingtian had given himself up.
Right when some people thought that Duan Lingtian's actions were courting death, a sword appeared out of thin air in Duan Lingtian's hand, a grade three spirit sword.
Nine Dragons' Radiant Flash!
The sword in Duan Lingtian's hand shook as the Origin Energy in his hand fused with second level Intermediate Wind Concept to transform into azure colored strong winds that coiled around the sword before abruptly whistling out.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Whoosh!
Two Divine Dragons that had materialized and one Divine Dragon that had yet to fully materialize roared out. As soon as they appeared, they successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Dragons were legendary divine beasts that no one had ever seen with their own eyes.
Of course, since the ancient times, there were various dragon totems and embroideries that were passed down. For example, the dragon robes worn by the Emperors of the various Dynasties were embroidered with a golden five clawed divine dragon.
However, a lifelike divine dragon that was formed from Origin Energy was extremely rare.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as most people's attention was on the three mystical dragons, two of the fully formed mystical dragons suddenly shot out beams of light from their eyes.
Four beams of light shot towards the ferocious-looking young man. Their speed was so fast that it was shocking.
Puff!
The first beam of light easily pierced through the young man's hand that was grabbing at Duan Lingtian like a viper's mouth, piercing through the grade four glove and leaving a bloody hole.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Amongst the other three beams of light, one pierced through the young man's forehead, another pierced through the young man's neck, and the last pierced through the young man's heart.
Not to mention the young man didn't even have the time to emit a shrill cry, he didn't even have the time to let out a muffled groan before completely losing all signs of life, and he was completely blasted flying by inertia.
Whirlwind!
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed out to intercept the corpse that was charging towards him after death, and he kicked it flying to cause it to fall onto the combat ring with a bang.
In the sky, the 81 ancient horned dragon silhouettes formed from the energy of the heavens and the earth gradually dispersed along with Duan Lingtian withdrawing his sword.
"Second level of the Void Interpretation Stage!"
"Second level Intermediate Wind Concept!"
"Even though the martial skill Duan Lingtian executed isn't bad, but with his strength, it seems that he doesn't have the qualifications to possess the number 1 token, right?"
…
After they witnessed Duan Lingtian's strength, many people couldn't help but voice out their doubts, and they doubted that Duan Lingtian didn't have the qualifications to possess the number 1 token.
Even more people firmly believed that the number 1 token was obtained by Duan Lingtian by opportunistic means.
In reality, Duan Lingtian could indeed be considered to have obtained it by opportunistic means.
Relying on the lifetime worth of inscription memories of Emperor Wu and his own Spiritual Force to temporarily shut off the inscription formations all along the passageway of the Illusory Crypt, wasn't this opportunistic means?
Of course, such opportunistic means wasn't something that anyone was capable of accomplishing.
"I was wondering how strong this Duan Lingtian was, yet he's only so-so!"
The possessor of the number 4 token, Qin Kong, grunted coldly and glanced at Duan Lingtian with disdain.
"Since he's the first to obtain the number 1 token and pass through the Illusory Crypt, he naturally has extraordinary aspects … Looks like he still has trump cards that he hasn't revealed."
The possessor of the number 3 token, Qi Feng, muttered to himself.
After Duan Lingtian, it was the possessor of the number 2 token, Zi Shang, that ascended the arena.
Zi Shang challenged the possessor of the number 24 token, and even though the possessor's strength wasn't bad, it was still inferior to him, causing the possessor to be instantly killed by the wind blades that flashed out from his zither.
The challenges continued.
The possessors of the top 10 tokens won successively all along the way.
In next to no time, it was the turn of the possessor of the number 7 token, Feng Tianwu. If it was according to the order of the six people before her, then she ought to challenge the possessor of the number 19 token.
However, the possessor of the number 19 token was Long Yun, and out of consideration for Saber 5, Feng Tianwu didn't challenge him, and she chose the possessor of the number 18 token instead.
The possessor of the number 18 token possessed a cultivation at the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage and had comprehended second level Void Interpretation Concept, so he could be considered to be a formidable opponent.
Right when everyone thought that Feng Tianwu would be in a deadlock with her opponent, her opponent was instead defeated by Feng Tianwu in a single move.
This time, Feng Tianwu utilized a spirit weapon, a grade three spirit whip.
Only a single whip had heavily injured her opponent.
The phenomenon of the heavens and the earth hadn't even had the chance to condense into form before dispersing. Besides Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu's exact strength was still a mystery in the eyes of most people.
"Possessing such a cultivation at the mere age of 25 is truly shocking!"
"If she's able to continue maintaining this advancement … She'll step into the Void Transformation Stage without the slightest suspense if she's given another 10 years!"
…
Many people that were shocked by Feng Tianwu's strength couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Feng Tianwu allowed them to have a completely new understanding of female martial artists.
"Feng Tianwu!"
The possessor of the number 9 token, the other female that had obtained the top 10 tokens of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, the Darqing Dynasty's Ye Ling, looked at Feng Tianwu with a complicated gaze.
When she was Feng Tianwu's age, she hadn't even stepped into the Void Initiation Stage.
Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she knew that Feng Tianwu's natural talent and comprehension ability were indeed stronger than her.
"But if I go against her now, I still have full confidence!"
Ye Ling was filled with confidence.
"Tian Wu, you ought to help me teach that kid a good lesson."
After Feng Tianwu returned, Saber 5 spoke, and he seemed to feel extremely regretful that Feng Tianwu didn't choose to challenge Long Yun.
After Feng Tianwu, it was the possessor of the number 8 token, the Darchu Dynasty's Ou Chen.
The person Ou Chen chose to challenge was precisely the possessor of the number 19 token, Long Yun.
Long Yun's master was the Vice Sect Master of the House of Sabers, and he'd already touched the threshold of the unity of man and saber. But because of the gap in cultivation and the difference in Concept, he still lost to Ou Chen.
Because he was afraid of Saber 5 who stood behind Long Yun, Ou Chen didn't attack ruthlessly.
After Long Yun returned, he stood by Saber 5's side with a dejected expression. "Master, I'm sorry. I've let you down and wasn't even able to enter the top 10."
"Hmph!"
Saber 5 grunted coldly. "After we return to the sect this time, I'll use the method of the House of Sabers to properly temper you."
As he finished speaking, a wisp of an evil smile appeared on the corners of Saber 5's mouth, and it caused Long Yun to be unable to refrain from shuddering.
Whoosh!
After Ou Chen, it was the possessor of the number 9 token, Ye Ling, that entered the arena. Ye Ling challenged the possessor of the number 17 token and won.
Subsequently, the possessor of the number 10 token, Li Ji, challenged the possessor of the number 16 token and won.
Up until now, none of the top 10 token possessors had been replaced.
The possessor of the number 11 token, the young man in scholarly attire, challenged the possessor of the number 15 token, Zhang Shou Yong.
"Big Brother Zhang has encountered a strong enemy!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he muttered.
Just as Duan Lingtian had said, Zhang Shou Yong and the possessor of the number 11 token were evenly matched for a time, and this was because he possessed the grade three spirit weapon, Wine Gourd, that Duan Lingtian had personally refined for him.
The strength of the young man in scholarly attire was shocking.
In the end, Zhang Shou Yong barely defeated the young man and replaced him to obtain the number 11 token.
"Big Brother Zhang, you're amazing!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up as he started laughing.
In next to no time, it was the turn of the possessor of the number 12 token, Su Li, to challenge the possessor of the number 14 token. Su Li executed a total of three sword strikes and easily obtained victory.
The possessor of the number 13 token had a bye.
"What's next?"
Meanwhile, only 13 people remained in the third round of the selections, and many people couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort.
"Now, the final segment of the third round of the selections is about to begin … In this segment, the possessors of the number 11, 12, and 13 tokens will successively challenge the possessors of the top 10 tokens."
"Once you win, you'll be able to replace your opponent and obtain their token before charging into the top 10 of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties held by our Skywolf Fort this time!"
Ning Can spoke with a clear voice.
Instantly, the eyes of Zhang Shou Yong, Su Li, and the possessor of the number 13 token lit up.
First, the possessor of the number 11 token, Zhang Shou Yong, would issue a challenge.
There was only a single chance, and if he didn't succeed, then he would have no fate with the top 10 of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
Zhang Shou Yong's gaze flashed past Duan Lingtian and the other 10 people before finally choosing Feng Tianwu, the possessor of the number 7 token.
Amongst the possessors of the top 10 tokens, even the possessor of the number 10 token, Li Ji, was an existence at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
Only Duan Lingtian, Zi Shang, and Feng Tianwu were existences at the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
Zhang Shou Yong knew he wasn't a match for Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang, so he chose Feng Tianwu.
"Big Brother Zhang has bitten off more than he can chew this time."
