"Powerful. As expected of the top ranker of the Eastern Prefecture. "
"It's rumored that Gusu Tianqi is able to jump three levels in battle. But right now, those who can still be seated here are all the most outstanding geniuses. I wonder how many levels Gusu Tianqi can jump if he goes all out? Given the strength he displayed earlier, if Gusu Tianqi unleashed his full strength, he might even be able to defeat many eighth-level ascendants here."
The hearts of the spectators mused. Ever since Gusu Tianqi participated in this banquet, he had already secured one of the top three rankings. In fact, he was already the number one ranker.
"Not bad. For the second battle, who would like to fight?" Dongsheng Ting stepped down from the azure dragon and returned to his seat. Upon seeing the silence of the spectators, he asked again.
Because Gusu Tianqi's first battle was too dazzling, many knew that if they were to fight, even if they could defeat their opponents, they would still pale in comparison to Gusu Tianqi's first battle. Hence, for the second battle, no one was willing to act.
"Allow me."
A cold wind gusted by as a gray silhouette directly landed on the battle platform. He didn't have the aura of Gusu Tianqi earlier, but he gave off a feeling of coldness.
This silhouette had a gloomy expression on his face. His skin was extremely white, without a trace of blood. His skinny frame was hidden within a loose gray robe, and his eyes gleamed with a sinister light, causing people to feel a sense of terror. This person's cultivation base was the same as Gusu Tianqi, at the sixth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.
An ancient medallion could be seen on his chest, indicating that he was the second ranker of the Underworld Prefecture, Xie Ying.
"What a dense Yin qi." The crowd stared at Xie Ying only to see his countenance was pale white. His eyes flickered with a white light as he stared at the participants at the banquet. His voice was filled with Yin qi as he spoke, "Who is willing to come up and challenge me?"
"Xie Ying of the Underworld Prefecture. If he can defeat him, he would undoubtedly leave a deep impression in the hearts of all the supreme ascendants present. However, this Xie Ying isn't someone easy to deal with." The other sixth-level ascendants silently mused. However, only twenty geniuses would be selected for this round, with two for each level. For their level, they already had Gusu Tianqi. If they couldn't perform second best, it would be extremely dangerous for them.
Since he had no way to defeat Gusu Tianqi, he had to defeat Xie Ying. If not, the chances of him advancing to the next round would be too minuscule.
Yi Changfeng and Xia Hanjiang both had the same thoughts. Both of them came from the Cloud Prefecture. Yi Changfeng was a disciple of the Myriad Sage Sacred Academy while Xia Hanjiang was from the Cloud Tower Sage Sect. The Idlecloud Immortal King casually glanced at them. The experts from their sects also came here and were all staring at them, hoping that they would be able to pass.
"Let me." Xia Hanjiang's figure suddenly dashed out. As a disciple of the Yunlou Holy Gate, he had many tricks up his sleeves, and all of them were shockingly powerful.
Xia Hanjiang exuded a tyrannical aura as he landed on the platform. However, Xie Ying's silhouette instantly moved. He was like a shadow, elongating in the air as a bone-chilling cold gushed over. Xia Hanjiang roared in rage as he unleashed his constellation. However at the same time, the sky suddenly darkened. That was Xie Ying's constellation. In the dark space, numerous silhouettes flickered unceasingly, emitting whistling sounds. Only the sounds of his silhouette could be heard.
Xia Hanjiang frenziedly attacked, causing rumbling sounds to echo out unceasingly. Each of his attacks contained a towering might, the terrifying coldness transformed into mist, wanting to freeze this entire space. White mist rose up from the darkness.
"Swish!" A terrifying ghost claw directly slashed through the air, as sharp as swords. The ghost claw glowed with a blood-colored light, and exuded an unfathomable toughness. Xia Hanjiang's countenance drastically changed. With a wave of his hand, an Ancient Cold Underworld Shield appeared. With a thunderous boom, a gigantic claw imprint appeared on the shield, but the sharp claw was nowhere to be seen.
"Chi …" From another direction, another sharp claw slashed over. Xia Hanjiang abruptly turned and launched another attack. But in the next moment, the spectators only saw more and more grey silhouettes appearing in the darkness, increasing in number. At the very end, the entire space was filled with countless ghost claw attacks. Xia Hanjiang howled in rage, unleashing all his might in all directions. However, the spectators all understood that Xia Hanjiang would definitely lose this battle. His attacks were completely suppressed.
And as expected, although Xia Hanjiang erupted forth with even greater might, the ending didn't change. Xie Ying also grew stronger and stronger, and at the very end, the millions of ghost claw attacks slashed down, almost claiming Xia Hanjiang's life. But luckily, he reacted in time and admitted defeat, only suffering injuries as he was forced to leave the battle platform.
After Xie Ying defeated Xia Hanjiang, his silhouette flickered as he returned to the immortal banquet. The Idlecloud Immortal King sighed silently when he saw the dispirited Xia Hanjiang returning. Xie Ying was the second ranker of the Underworld Prefecture, it was only normal for Xia Hanjiang to be defeated.
This Xie Ying exuded a ghostly aura and was proficient in cold and sinister attacks. His weakness was head-on attacks, but that was only relative. If he was compared to Gu Zhantian, he would naturally be weaker, but he wasn't any weaker compared to Xia Hanjiang.
Next, more and more experts stepped onto the platform to contend for supremacy. Numerous breathtaking battles erupted forth, and the combat prowess of the various geniuses caused even the supreme experts present to be stunned.
"The top ranker of the Cloud Prefecture, Gu Zhantian. Powerful, violet-gold light, flood dragons shaking the skies, and the fist of the Battle God, killing gods if they obstruct him. To think that there would be such a dazzling character in the Cloud Prefecture as well."
"Blackpeak, the disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King. Not bad, the destructive power of the devil abyss is too terrifying, it can destroy all enemies. Although his opponent is a heaven chosen, he was defeated very quickly." The battles continued unceasingly. When Blackpeak fought, several people sighed in admiration. They stared at the Deepflame Immortal King and laughed, "The Deepflame Immortal King's disciple is also so powerful."
"This young man still needs more tempering." The Deepflame Immortal King was extremely satisfied with Blackpeak's performance. But at the same time, the spectators were bewildered. Before this, Qin Wentian and the others said that Blackpeak was almost killed by Qin Wentian. Did Qin Wentian really have such strength?
"The top ranker of the Qian Prefecture, Ye Qianchen, is elegant. The top ranker of the Li Prefecture, Cang Ao, is tyrannical. The second ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, Xia Jiufeng, is crazy. Each and every one of these geniuses are truly worthy of being ranked at the top. How breathtaking. Other than Gusu Tianqi, who do you all favor more?"
As the battles continued, more and more geniuses stepped onto the platform. The atmosphere of the immortal banquet also gradually grew more intense.
"The disciple of the Deepflame Immortal King, Blackpeak, isn't bad." Someone spoke, giving face to the Deepflame Immortal King.
"Cang Ao is also very outstanding, I favor him more."
"It's hard to choose. The top ranker of the Blazing Sun Prefecture, Dugu Xishan. That blazing divine radiance he exudes is simply terrifying."
"Mo Wen of the Supreme Moon Prefecture easily defeated his opponent. Although she hasn't unleashed her full strength, you all should be able to sense the aura she exudes. That should be an extremely rare physique." An immortal king stared at a female heaven chosen. This female was actually the top ranker of the Supreme Moon Prefecture.
"The top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture has stepped out." At this moment, the crowd turned their gazes onto the platform. The top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture was different from ordinary people. He had a pair of wings on his back and his entire body was covered in devil runes, as though he was clad in devil armor. He was two meters tall and exuded boundless might. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, capable of stirring the souls of people.
"The top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture, Feather King. This man seems to be an expert from the Winged Devil Race." A supreme immortal king stared at Feather King as his eyes gleamed with sharpness.
"That's right, Feather King is the king of the younger generation of the Winged Devil Race. The patriarch of the Winged Devil Race bestowed the name Feather King upon him." At the immortal banquet, the leader of the Western Desert Prefecture spoke, his words causing many immortal kings to turn their attention to Feather King.
The Winged Devil Race was one of the three strongest races of the Western Desert Prefecture. In fact, they had the title of the strongest race in the Western Desert.
The experts of this race would temper themselves in the starry space and refine unparalleled wings, possessing a perfect physique. There was a secret art in their race that they would never impart to outsiders. The Dongshengxian Gate had repeatedly invited experts from the Winged Devil Race to join them but they were all rejected. Now that Feather King was here to participate in the training exercise of the Dongshengxian Gate, could it be that the Winged Devil Race had thought things through?
"Things are getting more and more interesting. The Western Desert Prefecture is as expected of a place filled with powerful races. The top ranker of the Western Desert Prefecture is the Winged Devil Race while the second ranker is an expert from the Heavenly Deity Race. The members of the Winged Devil Race are incomparably gigantic and can transform into giants. They proclaim themselves to be the descendants of heavenly deities and have innate divine strength. The third ranker is an ascetic monk who might be a secret cultivator."
The spectators discussed. At this moment, Feather King had already started his battle. His opponent was also a ranker ranked # 5 and had tyrannical strength. However, the resplendent violet-gold wings on Feather King's back were so bright that they couldn't even see his shadow. He was simply too fast, so fast that it was inconceivable. His wings slashed out, resembling a supreme saber light that could cleave apart the heavens and earth. His opponent hurriedly defended against this attack, only to see Feather King's palms slamming down, manifesting dazzling devil runes. A thunderous boom rang out as his opponent screamed in agony. The palms he used to defend against Feather King's attack were all blasted apart as his body was blasted off the platform.
Feather King floated in the air. With a flap of his wings, a beam of violet-gold light flashed as he returned to his seat at the immortal banquet. Yet another demon-level character exuding magnificence throughout the generations.
"Is this the strength of a genius from the Winged Devil Race? How terrifying." The spectators mused silently.
"This Feather King might even have the talent to contend against Gusu Tianqi." Those supreme immortal kings all had thoughts of accepting him as their disciple. As expected of the geniuses of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, there were truly outstanding characters among them.
"Mhm, Feather King might be another one of the top three rankers. In that case, there's only one slot left. I wonder who would be so outstanding."
"Earlier, weren't there a few people who spoke sharp words? Why haven't they stepped out yet?" At this moment, the Deepflame Immortal King turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian and the others. Jun Mengchen coldly snorted and was about to stand up only to see Qin Wentian speaking, "Mengchen, let me do it."
"Right." Upon seeing that Qin Wentian was about to act, Jun Mengchen sat back down. After which, Qin Wentian left his seat and walked out, stepping onto the battle platform for the first time.
His gaze swept over the spectators. These fifth-level ascendants had all witnessed Qin Wentian's strength before. Very few of them dared to challenge him.
"Up until now, none of the disciples of the various immortal kings have appeared. It's about time for them to do battle." The Deepflame Immortal King spoke in a low voice, his words causing the expressions of many to turn solemn. Seems like the Deepflame Immortal King had been suppressing his anger all this while. Now, he finally wanted to use this person to vent his anger.
"Purgatory Immortal King, your disciple has inherited your legacy. Why don't you show him to broaden our horizons?" The Deepflame Immortal King glanced at a gigantic immortal king who exuded a fearsome might. This person was a war general under the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor just like the Deepflame Immortal King. His strength was extraordinary and he had a disciple at the fifth-level of Celestial Phenomenon.
"Fine. Deepflame, since you want to take a look, let that little fellow do it." The Purgatory Immortal King's voice boomed out like a great bell. A young man with eyes as bright as purgatory walked out, terrifying to the extreme.
