The Nine Heavenly Layers were filled with boundless mysteries. There were some bizarre constellations that could appear in any of the Heavenly Layers.
However, for some constellations, not everyone would be able to form a connection with them. They would choose their master, and in fact, there were some even more miraculous constellations that would automatically choose their cultivators. When your consciousness passed by, the constellation would guide you, allowing you to form a connection with it and condense an Astral Soul belonging to that particular constellation.
Chu Tianjiao and Chu Chen were both members of the Royal Clan, and had the fate of an Emperor. Yet both of them had condensed an Astral Soul, causing the hearts of the spectators to tremble.
The people of Chu all knew how powerful the Amethyst Astral Soul was. This Astral Soul was in the form of a scepter, and had the ability to amplify one's strength. Any type of attack would be amplified by the Amethyst Astral Soul. In fact, it could even amplify the strength of other Astral Souls.
Chu Chen actually had the Amethyst Astral Soul. This indicated that Chu Chen had been concealing his true strength in the previous battles, and hadn't gone all out.
And now, it had finally blossomed.
As for Chu Chen's 2nd Astral Soul, it was in the form of a palm imprint. One could imagine that the Astral Soul he condensed would also be a gigantic palm imprint constellation.
"Please." Chu Chen smiled. 2nd Sword's gaze grew heavy, as he released his sword light.
Chu Chen stepped out, and with a flick of his palms, his Astral Soul was infused into his palms. In an instant, countless palm imprints erupted forth, frenziedly attacking 2nd Sword.
"What a fast attack speed." The eyes of the spectators narrowed. In that short instant, they saw countless palm imprints madly blasting forth.
Although 2nd Sword's sword was sharp, it was too much for the eyes to take in as he frenziedly clashed against the incoming palm imprints.
His sword was as fast as the wind, but it was still unable to block the frenzied palm imprints. Finally, Chu Chen defeated 2nd Sword, and he would be contending against Hou Tie for the 4th position of the Jun Lin Banquet.
"Orchon versus Luo Qianqiu." The old man spoke, causing the gazes of the spectators to once again land on the 1st towering platform.
There was no suspense in this battle. Although Orchon was extremely powerful, he was still completely suppressed by Luo Qianqiu, who had the highest chance of obtaining the top ranking.
The crowd could only sigh in admiration. Luo Qianqiu was simply too powerful. Most probably, only Sikong Mingyue would be able to contend against him.
Following the conclusion of the battle between Orchon and Luo Qianqiu, the spectators could already foresee that the most intense and intense battle was about to begin. After the battle between Chu Chen and Hou Tie, it would be Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue's turn to fight for the position of the top ranker in the Jun Lin Banquet.
"Chu Chen versus Hou Tie."
As the old man's voice faded, the second battle platform was about to welcome the final battle.
Chu Chen looked at Hou Tie with a calm expression and slowly said, "You are not my opponent, there is no need to risk your life. After I defeat you, I will enter the top three."
When the crowd heard Chu Chen's calm voice, they couldn't help but be startled in their hearts. Before this, Chu Chen had directly forfeited his battle against Sikong Mingyue. Hence, the majority of the crowd didn't think that he would win. However, no one would have thought that Chu Chen was actually intentionally avoiding his battle against Sikong Mingyue. He wanted to obtain the number one position on the second towering platform. This way, he would be able to contend for the top three rankings in his most perfect state.
In reality, Chu Chen's confidence was backed by his overwhelming strength. Although Hou Tie's combat prowess was tyrannical, Chu Chen still defeated him and obtained the qualifications to contend for the top three rankings.
After this battle, Chu Chen was temporarily ranked # 4, Hou Tie # 5, 2nd Sword # 6.
At this moment, the gazes of the spectators shifted onto the first towering platform.
Was Sikong Mingyue and Luo Qianqiu going to have their final battle?
"The battle between Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue will be postponed. Chu Chen versus Orchon. If Chu Chen is defeated, the top three rankings will be determined. If Chu Chen wins, the final battle for the top three rankings will proceed." The old man's voice seemed to have shattered the fantasies of the spectators. However, this was fine as well. They also wanted to see who was stronger between Chu Chen and Orchon.
"The final battle for the top three rankings?" In the direction of the Emperor Star Academy, Old Gu laughed, "Sir, you seem to have forgotten about someone."
Strange expressions appeared on the faces of the spectators as they shifted their gazes to the lone silhouette sitting on the platform with his eyes closed.
Evidently, Old Gu was referring to Qin Wentian. However, even if he hadn't forgotten, would Qin Wentian be able to fight his way into the top three rankings?
Even 2nd Sword and Hou Tie wouldn't be able to pass the two major hurdles.
"After the battle between Orchon and Chu Chen ends, I will give him a chance. Let's see how far he can go." That old man calmly stated. Evidently, he didn't think highly of Qin Wentian.
Even the 2nd Sword, who was initially thought highly of, could only be ranked # 6 in the Jun Lin Banquet. From this, one could see how intense the battles were, and how strong these participants were.
It was an impossible mission for Qin Wentian to fight his way into the top three rankings.
If he could step into the 8th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, based on Qin Wentian's combat prowess, he might have a chance to fight his way into the top three rankings. However, one's cultivation base wasn't something that could be broken so easily. Cultivation required one to take one step at a time, and the only way to increase one's cultivation base was through hard work and accumulation. Yuan Meteor Stones and precious medicinal pills could increase one's cultivation speed, but it was impossible for one to break through just because they wanted to.
"Prince Chen, you won't be able to snatch away one of the top three rankings." Orchon's voice was filled with an intense sense of self-confidence. Although he was familiar with Chu Chen, this was a battle of honour. He would definitely give it his all.
"Orchon, although your strength is tyrannical, there will definitely be a spot for me in the top three rankings. Not only that, I will make up for the regret I had earlier by challenging Sikong Mingyue and Luo Qianqiu. Since you have already been defeated, it's time for you to give up your position."
Chu Chen's voice was filled with immense self-confidence. Both of them had the conviction and determination to win.
Orchon had already obtained one of the top three rankings, how could he give it up? If he was pushed down, where would his face be?
"Orchon, you have to win." Many people had placed their bets on Orchon obtaining one of the top three rankings. At this moment, they were all silently praying in their hearts that Orchon would definitely defeat Chu Chen. If not, the bets they had placed on Orchon would fly away.
"In that case, let's fight." Orchon brandished his long spear as his battle intent soared to the heavens. He had already lost to Luo Qianqiu and Sikong Mingyue. This battle was for the sake of glory.
A raging wind gusted by, the spear shadows were like a dream. A resplendent silvery light blossomed, and when he collided with Chu Chen, it was as though a rain of spears had appeared on the platform, resplendent and resplendent.
However, Chu Chen merely sent out a palm strike, extinguishing the rain of spears. He stared at Orchon as he calmly stated, "In order to show my respect to you, I will let you see my true strength. Now, use your strongest attack."
As the sound of his voice faded, within Chu Chen's body, the power of his bloodline started to surge. His silhouette seemed to grow taller and taller.
The Royal Clan of Chu possessed the bloodline of an Emperor. This was also the reason why they were able to rule the Chu Country for three thousand years.
The Amethyst Astral Soul, the bloodline of an Emperor, in addition to the hard work of generations of members of the Royal Clan, created the history of the Chu Country that spanned three thousand years.
In this world where martial prowess reigned supreme, the so-called rule was built on the foundation of one's strength.
Orchon froze for a moment before he sighed, "I didn't expect that Prince Chen had also awakened the power of his bloodline. Since this is the case, I won't be polite."
Sensing the power of Chu Chen's bloodline, Orchon understood that the chances of him winning this battle were getting smaller and smaller.
"Could it be that Orchon is really going to be defeated? Chu Chen, this dark horse, is going to slaughter his way into the top three?" Many people felt somewhat vexed. Could it be that they had been cheated by Heaven's Wonder? Or could it be that Heaven's Wonder didn't know that Chu Chen had been concealing his strength all this while?
Orchon's long spear pierced out, causing a lotus to bloom. Thousands of spear lights erupted simultaneously, filling the entire sky with starlight. Finally, they converged into an extremely powerful spear shadow, advancing forward with indomitable will.
Chu Chen's Bloodline Limit and the amplification effect of his Emperor Violet Astral Soul stacked together as he blasted out a palm imprint. Only Orchon could understand how terrifying his palm imprint was under the effects of the dual amplification effect. That long spear that seemed capable of breaking apart everything in its path couldn't advance any further, as it was forcefully blocked.
Orchon understood that he had already been defeated.
Inclining his head to look at Chu Chen, Orchon sighed as he stated, "I initially thought that I would be able to obtain one of the top three positions in this Jun Lin Banquet. Who would have thought that I would only be ranked # 4. However, with Prince Chen's strength, obtaining one of the top three positions is already well deserved."
After speaking, Orchon bowed to Chu Chen, expressing his respect for Chu Chen.
"You are already very strong. It's just that the competition this year is too intense. Let's compare who will be the first to step into Yuanfu." Chu Chen smiled as he spoke.
"Fine." Orchon nodded his head as a carefree smile appeared on his face, no longer thinking about his defeat.
In such an intense Jun Lin Banquet, obtaining the 4th position was already considered not bad.
And now, the top three positions of the Jun Lin Banquet had already been determined. Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, and Chu Chen.
The 4th to 6th positions were also temporarily determined. Orchon, Hou Tie, and 2nd Sword. Now, the only variable was Qin Wentian.
However, although Qin Wentian's strength was extraordinary, no one was optimistic about his chances. After all, if he wanted to advance, his first opponent would be the powerful 2nd Sword.
At this moment, what the spectators were most looking forward to was the final battle for the top three positions.
The gaze of the old man shifted onto Qin Wentian who was sitting cross-legged as he asked, "Do you want to compete?"
Qin Wentian opened his eyes as he stopped his cultivation. "Naturally."
"Fine, the first battle shall be against 2nd Sword." The old man spoke, only to see 2nd Sword staring at Qin Wentian as an intense aura of sharpness gushed forth from him. Initially, he was the one who was favored to obtain the top three positions, but now, he was ranked # 6.
This caused him to feel a sense of humiliation. And now, Qin Wentian actually dared to challenge him?
A boundless sword intent gushed forth from the tyrannical air. 2nd Sword inclined his head as his eyes transformed into sharp swords that slowly shifted towards Qin Wentian. In an instant, two beams of sword light shot towards Qin Wentian.
"If you wish to die, I will grant you your wish. I will avenge 3rd Night on his behalf."
2nd Sword's voice was as sharp as a sword.
There wasn't a single part of his body that didn't exude a terrifying sword aura.
Within his sword, there was arrogance, unwillingness, and killing intent.
He wanted to use Qin Wentian's blood to wash away the humiliation of the Jun Lin Banquet. His Snowcloud Country had actually been defeated so miserably. Only Sikong Mingyue managed to enter the top three, and he was the only one left in the top nine.
