Who was this person?
The gazes of the spectators landed on Qin Wentian, their hearts filled with bewilderment. The majority of them had never heard of this person before.
Not only that, the aura radiating from him was only at the peak of the seventh level of Yuanfu.
To be able to sound the drum nineteen times, there was no need to doubt the strength of his will. Not only that, his attack power must also be incomparably tyrannical, and he must also have a fearsome defense.
Zhan Chen's countenance was ice cold as he swept his gaze over to Qin Wentian. The golden light in his eyes was incomparably terrifying. At this moment, Mo Qingcheng was still spectating from the side. Not only that, how could he, Zhan Chen, be defeated?
Even if it was just the sound of the drum, there was no way he would lose to Qin Wentian.
Releasing his Astral Souls, Zhan Chen's entire body was engulfed by a terrifying golden tempest, converging into the form of the Punishing Heavens and Earth Sword. Rumbling sounds echoed out, breaking through everything in its path, as it once again slammed into the gigantic drum.
"BOOM!"
After the twentieth reverberation, the fearsome might was reflected back, shattering the golden armor on Zhan Chen's body. His heart trembled violently, he knew that if the drum continued to reverberate, he would definitely be injured.
However, this reverberation didn't stop. He turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian as a cold light flickered in his eyes.
However, he only saw Qin Wentian stretching out his finger and pressing it downwards. A terrifying might broke through everything as the reverberations of the drum reverberated through the air.
"BOOM!" The Heavens and Earth trembled. Similarly, twenty reverberations, tying the record. This single reverberation caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble. Qin Wentian felt the terrifying might sweeping over him, yet he didn't move an inch. His heart was as calm as still water, as though he was back in the Royal Capital of Grand Xia. Blood dyed the heavens and earth red, as the boundless will of the spectators gushed into his mind.
How terrifying. Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment. At this moment, the reverberations stopped, and the moment he hesitated, he had already lost his chance. However, twenty reverberations, tying the record, was still incomparably dazzling. He had achieved the same feat as Chen Wang and Shi Potian. Although this didn't represent anything, at the very least, it allowed the spectators to see the magnificence of Zhan Chen.
"How can your lowly heart win against my undying will?"
As the sound of his voice faded, the crowd only saw Qin Wentian jabbing out with his finger again. Runic inscriptions congregated in the air, transforming into a vortex that pierced into the gigantic drum.
"Boom …"
Twenty-one echoes rang out, breaking the record. This sound, along with Qin Wentian's voice, echoed throughout the world, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble.
This person had provoked and looked down on Zhan Chen. His heart was resolute.
How can your lowly heart win against my undying will?
Although this was an entrance ticket, he still wanted to win. Not only that, he was standing together with Zhan Chen, and Mo Qingcheng was just beside him. How could he lose to Zhan Chen?
Qin Wentian stepped forward, followed by the people around him, smiles on their faces as they walked forward, leaving only their backs to the spectators.
This young man's demeanor was extraordinary, but sadly, his cultivation base was too low. He was only at the seventh level of Yuanfu, yet he dared to challenge Zhan Chen.
At this point, there weren't many people who had yet to sound the drum. Moreover, those experts who were ranked at the top had already sounded the drum.
Following the ancient roads on both sides, the crowd moved forward. Along the wide corridor, people squeezed against each other as they rushed forward.
By the time the drums were sounded, half of the people had been eliminated.
What awaited them next would be even more dangerous. They would have to face the River of Life and Death.
The River of Life and Death was a true test of life and death. Those who passed would live, and those who fell would die.
Since ancient times, it was unknown how many heroes had fallen in the River of Life and Death.
After Qin Wentian and the rest ascended the staircase, they could see the River of Life and Death. Or perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call it the Lake of Life and Death.
The width of the River of Life and Death was the same as the ancient staircase of Grand Xia, and could accommodate over a thousand people. As for the length of the river, it was over a hundred thousand meters. To Wu Xiu, this distance wasn't too far. Any one of these geniuses would be able to cross it in a short amount of time.
However, to cross the River of Life and Death, it wouldn't be so easy to cross it with thousands of people.
What was even more terrifying was that the River of Life and Death was filled with corrosive energy. Yuanfu cultivators would die without a doubt if they were to fall into it.
The crowd only saw Old Man Tianji and the rest of the experts from the thirty-six transcendent powers flying through the air, arriving at the other end of the River of Life and Death.
Once, this River of Life and Death was the Heavenly Mirror of Grand Xia. As long as one stood guard at the other end of the River of Life and Death, they would be able to defend against ten thousand enemies.
Old Man Tianji stared ahead. At this moment, everyone was already facing the River of Life and Death. A distance of a hundred meters might seem short, but it was destined that many would die here.
Old Man Tianji lit up a thin incense stick. It was so thin and short that it would burn out within a hundred breaths of time.
However, these people needed to cross the River of Life and Death before the incense stick burned out. At the very least, they needed to cross a hundred meters in an instant.
Under the circumstances where so many people were travelling together, crossing a hundred meters in an instant, one could very well imagine how difficult it would be. They would definitely fight against each other, resulting in chaos.
"The incense stick has been burned. Those who fail to cross the River of Life and Death will be eliminated." Old Man Tianji calmly spoke. "Move out."
"Let's go." Qin Wentian roared. The thousands of experts roared in anger as they dashed out, their speed as fast as lightning.
An incense stick's worth of time, a distance of a hundred thousand meters. They had to maintain their fastest speed at all times, they couldn't afford to waste even the slightest bit of time. How could they not advance with all their might?
Thousands of people were madly sprinting across the River of Life and Death. The impact of this scene was simply too great, too shocking.
Some of them had seen the might of ten thousand horses galloping across the River of Life and Death before. But right now, it was actually ten thousand spears galloping across the River of Life and Death. The terrifying astral winds in the air felt as though they could tear people apart.
Not only that, countless terrifying auras gushed forth, causing chaos to fill the air. There were already many people who had launched their attacks.
"SCRAM!" Someone behind Qin Wentian roared in rage. A sword slashed out, as fast as lightning. At the same time, that person stepped on a flying sword, wanting to flee.
"I will guard the rear, you guys move forward." Qin Wentian roared. With a flip of his palm, a terrifying demonic imprint blasted out, colliding with the ancient sword. His eyes flashed with coldness as he frenziedly waved his palms. A moment later, numerous terrifying rocs shot out, blocking the path of those behind him.
At the same time, there were also people launching attacks in front of Qin Wentian and the others, blocking their path. In fact, above Qin Wentian's group, there were even people unleashing terrifying attacks, wanting to force them into the River of Life and Death, causing them to lose their chance.
Chaos, the situation at this moment was extremely chaotic.
Accompanied by a light splash sound, someone fell into the River of Life and Death as he screamed in agony. In an instant, his body corroded, turning into white bones. After which, even his bones were corroded away, vanishing from sight.
Qin Wentian swept his gaze over, feeling a sense of terror in his heart. This was only the first stage of the trial and it was already so cruel. How intense was the competition between geniuses?
"Qingcheng." Qin Wentian cast a glance to the side. At this moment, the situation was too chaotic, it was extremely difficult to even move. Everyone only cared about rushing forward. However, he discovered that Mo Qingcheng was still fine. Maybe it was because of her beauty that could topple empires, but no one dared to act ruthlessly against her. Maybe this was the innate advantage of beauties.
There was no enmity of life and death, it was just a matter of blocking the path. As long as Mo Qingcheng didn't take the initiative to offend others, how could those experts bear to destroy a flower like her?
Chu Mang and Fan Le stood guard at the front, golden arrows hovering above their heads. Fan Le's bloodline was fully activated, bathing in golden flames, resembling a fiery god of war.
"Peng …" Someone retaliated, wanting to block their path. Fan Le and Chu Mang coldly snorted. Chu Mang broke through the attack, while Fan Le's arrow shot towards the person who attacked. That person wanted to deflect the arrow, but the arrow suddenly changed directions. His countenance drastically changed, and he abruptly turned his body, only to be met with the arrows of Chu Mang and Fan Le. Piercing sounds rang out as the person's head was pierced through by the arrow, falling from the sky.
Given the speed of Fan Le and the rest, they would be able to catch up. They wouldn't take the initiative to kill others to block their path, but if someone intentionally tried to block their path, they could only do so.
After consuming the limit-break pellet, Chu Mang's cultivation base had already reached the pinnacle of Yuanfu.
"Peng …"
At this moment, a terrifying pressure bore down on them. It was as though numerous ancient mountains were descending from the Heavens, pressing down on Chu Mang, Fan Le, and the rest. Not only that, in front of them, there were also ancient mountains appearing.
"Situ Po." Qin Wentian inclined his head, only to see Situ Po standing in the air, clad in Astral Stone Armor, incomparably resplendent as he launched an attack towards them.
With a flicker of his silhouette, Qin Wentian soared up into the air, lifting his palms to shatter the ancient mountains. Only to see a sword cascading down from the skies, it was none other than Situ Po's Sword of Extinction.
And at the same instant, a gravitational force bore down on Qin Wentian and the rest. A gigantic leg descended from the Heavens, containing a towering might within, enveloping Qin Wentian, Chu Mang, and the rest within it.
"Duan Qingshan."
Qin Wentian's countenance was ice cold. Situ Po had actually joined forces with Duan Qingshan to launch a sneak attack on them?
The combat prowess of these two was extremely high. Duan Qingshan was ranked # 25 in the Heavenly Fate Rankings, and Situ Po definitely had the same level of combat prowess.
Chu Mang's great axe cleaved downwards, while Ouyang Kuangsheng's body was enveloped in flames and lightning.
How could Zhan Chen miss this opportunity? His silhouette flickered as a golden sword slashed towards Qin Wentian.
In that instant, they were attacked from the front and rear.
However at this moment, a towering devilish might gushed forth, akin to a bolt of lightning. A black devil spear pierced through everything, aiming for Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen's countenance drastically changed, he stared at the black-robed figure as he roared in rage, "It's you again!"
Yun Mengyi also acted. She dashed towards Situ Po, as a terrifying frost energy gushed out from her body, wanting to freeze the entire space.
Chaos, the entire space was in a state of chaos. The people behind them would also launch a sneak attack, before fleeing from their sight. It would be best if all of them were eliminated together.
The gazes of many in the crowd also noticed this battle, as they couldn't help but feel bewildered. Who would have thought that the person who broke the record would have so much influence? He had so many enemies and so many friends.
Those who wanted to destroy them were all extraordinary characters. Zhan Chen, Duan Qingshan, Situ Po.
At this moment, a Star-Seizing Palm Imprint appeared, grabbing towards them, causing the expressions on the faces of the crowd to stiffen. Yang Fan was one of them. Two people from the Star-Seizing Manor simultaneously attacked Qin Wentian.
