Chapter 879

At the top of the mountain.

While he was cultivating, Clayshaw suddenly noticed something. He turned around and saw that two ID tags were missing from the foot of the mountain. A white flame rose up in his eyes as he gazed into the distance.

"Someone stole two ID tags? How bold. "

He looked at Su Ping who was still immersed in his cultivation and sensed nothing. Clayshaw didn't pay any more attention. If Clayshaw could sense it, then so could Su Ping. However, Su Ping didn't go after them, which meant that he really didn't care about the ID tags at the foot of the mountain.

"Time is running out. Those people will have to take the risk. Let's see who has the courage to come here." Clayshaw's eyes flickered. All of a sudden, he felt that the ID tags at the foot of the mountain were a symbol of courage. Those who dared to come here would definitely be able to take away the ID tags he needed. It all depended on whether they had the courage.

In front of the live stream, many people saw this and discussed in surprise.

"The Fist King is ignoring that guy. Did he not notice?"

"What Fist King? He should be called King of Swords."

"Hey, how do you know that he's a swordsman? Maybe swordsmanship is just a common skill of his."

"The King of Swords must have been too absorbed in his cultivation to notice."

As time went on, several people showed up one after another. They began to steal from the ID tags at the foot of Su Ping's mountain.

Those people didn't dare to be greedy. They were already nervous enough to steal. Who would dare to take more?

In the last hour, Su Ping, Clayshaw, and the others woke up from their cultivation. They didn't cultivate again, but waited for the time to run out.

The last hour was also the most intense moment.

Outside the mountain, some people appeared one after another, hiding in the deep layers of space.

"Is this the Forbidden Mountain?"

"It's amazing. There are ID tags everywhere. That's scary!"

"I can't find anyone. Those guys are all hiding. Those who dare to swagger outside are all freaks. They have to come here to take the risk."

"I heard that someone saw the Dragon Emperor and the God of Swords' heir approaching. Both of them chose to take a detour. Can we really get the ID tags under their noses?"

All kinds of gazes were filled with fear and nervousness. They were sizing up and thinking.

As Su Ping and the others woke up from their cultivation, most of the gazes disappeared. Many people had already given up and turned around to look elsewhere.

Maybe they could find the ID tags if they were lucky.

Trying to steal under Su Ping's nose was tantamount to suicide.

Judging by the number of ID tags, Su Ping was not only strong, but he also had the ability to keep people here. Even if they wanted to run away, they might not be able to.

Trying to compete with Su Ping in speed was akin to courting death!

Those geniuses were not mediocre. They were very vigilant. After some thought, they all backed off.

If Su Ping were still cultivating, they might have dared to try and steal when he wasn't paying attention. However, Su Ping had woken up. That place had become a forbidden area!

An hour soon passed.

Fights and fights were taking place all over the Void Continent. The teams that had been formed had fallen apart. They were fighting and robbing each other. After all, the ID tags that had been distributed to the teams weren't enough for all of them to advance to the next level. They had to rob each other.

Those temporary teams weren't trustworthy at all. They would split up because of their own interests.

Countless people watching the livestream seemed to be relieved when the last second of the countdown was over. They felt as if they were there, and were nervous for the contestants.

"The match is over!"

Boom ~!

The entire Void Continent was shaking as several Star Lords appeared. Then, the protective formation on the continent was gone, and Hai Tuo appeared in the sky.

He raised his hand, and the space trembled. All the qualified contestants on the continent were teleported to the sky in front of him.

As for the rest, they all stayed on the continent.

Whoosh!

Su Ping felt that his vision was blurred, and his body was enshrouded by an overwhelming power. He felt that he couldn't move at all.

Su Ping was secretly alarmed. That was exactly the power of the Ascendant State. Joanna's original self was at that level.

However, Joanna should be at the top of the Ascendant State!

After all, she was a pure-blood god, and one of the oldest gods from the Archean Divinity. She had also been fighting in the Demigod Burial for years. She was definitely stronger than many Ascendant State Warriors of the Federation.

"Five hundred and eighty-two!"

"Congratulations, you are qualified to advance. The top hundred will be selected in the final trial. You will represent your galaxy and go to the Golden Sector to fight the top geniuses of the other Sectors in the universe!"

Hai Tuo looked at the people in front of him, who were standing in a square. He was solemn and benevolent, like a general who was on parade. He had a smile on his face, showing the dignity and mercy of the master of the galaxy.

When everyone heard this, they all trembled with excitement.

Normal people wouldn't feel anything when those words came out of their mouths. They might even complain, "What are you talking about?"

But when it came from the mouth of an Ascendant State Warrior, the effect was absolutely inspiring!

Besides …

To most of the people here, it was a rare opportunity to see an Apotheosized God at such a close distance!

After all, not everyone could have an Ascendant State Warrior as a teacher like the God of Swords' successor.

Moreover, even the successor of the Sword God might not be able to meet his master easily.

Su Ping looked around. He didn't expect that only five hundred out of the ten thousand people would be eliminated. That was a testament to the cruelty of the survival battle.

He had defeated many people. The other geniuses must have killed a lot of people, apart from getting the ID cards they needed.

Even though the participants they killed would be transferred away, losing the chance to advance was still a great loss for them.

"You can have a good rest after we finish checking the ID cards. The competition for the Top 100 will begin in three days!"

Hai Tuo said with a smile. Then, he vanished in front of everyone's eyes.

At the same time, several Star Lords flew over from the side. Their expressions were calm as they checked everyone's ID cards.

The Star Lords turned over their hands and a mysterious force activated the ID cards. The ID cards they had collected flew out and floated above their heads, piling up high.

Most of them had 10 identity cards, which were highly similar. However, there were quite a number of people who had identity cards stacked extremely high above their heads like bamboo poles.

Many people were looking at Su Ping. They were all from the five academies. They wanted to see how many ID cards Su Ping, who had the potential to ascend to the God Ascension Stage, had obtained.

But when they saw it, they were all stunned.

Su Ping had 10 ID cards.

No more, no less. Exactly 10!

Standing next to Su Ping, Claybeth and Iberta Luna were sizing up the others. Their expressions changed when they saw the ID cards above the heads of the Dragon King and the young man with the wooden sword.

Clearly, those two weren't easy to deal with. The ID cards above their heads were stacked high. One could tell that there were at least one or two hundred!

However, apart from them, the Holy King of the Hugh Mia Academy and the Queen of the Blue Sea were even more eye-catching. The number of ID cards above their heads had reached seven or eight hundred. The two of them stood out like cranes among chickens.

"These two fellows really joined hands. More than a thousand people have fallen under their hands!" Everyone watched with trepidation. These two people were too ruthless!

Among the crowd were two people whose ID cards were similar to those of the Holy King of the Blue Sea and the Queen of the Blue Sea. There were even some whose ID cards were higher than theirs.

Soon, the number of ID cards was tabulated and the list was shown on the livestream.

"Holy sh * t. The Wuji Academy has 1,292. I saw him chasing after other people. How come he killed so many?"

"The Twin Stars of the Hugh Mia Academy are scary. When they work together, they are invincible!"

"The King of Swords didn't bring his ID card? His name is at the bottom of the list. Holy sh * t! "

"The King of Swords is so cunning. He's hiding his strength on purpose!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. What's there to hide? The participants will know what's going on when they watch the replay. The King of Swords doesn't care about robbing others. Didn't you see that he didn't even bother to chase after those who tried to steal his ID cards?"

"Right. The real powerful ones always keep a low profile. Maybe some of them are just like the King of Swords who doesn't want to show off!"

The discussion became even more heated as the list came out.

The young man with the wooden sword and the Dragon King frowned. All of a sudden, they felt the ID cards stacked high above their heads were glaring. They were not used to it.

The two of them left as soon as the ID cards were counted.

"Hmm, the Twin Stars of the Hugh Mia Academy? They are not allowed to fight in pairs during the Top 100 matches! " A slim young man glared at the Holy King and the Queen of the Blue Sea. The two of them were glowing and stood out in the crowd, as if they were born to be the protagonists.

The others were also looking at the Holy King and the Queen of the Blue Sea. They were afraid of them and wanted to remember them.

The Holy King and the Queen of the Blue Sea looked at Su Ping and the young man with the wooden sword up and down. They didn't say anything and left hand in hand, as if they were an immortal couple.

But the two of them were sworn enemies in the academy.

"Those kids are interesting."

At the edge of the crowd, there was a girl with 10 identity tablets on her head. Her eyes were moving about, but her face was covered by a thin veil. However, her eyes were like autumn waters, seemingly able to sever the autumn wind and lovesickness, causing people to sink in. This veil was a secret treasure that could block the probing of astral senses.

She looked at the departing Gemini Stars, and then looked at the wooden sword youth and a certain woman in the crowd. She laughed softly, turned around, and left without a sound. No one paid attention to her.

…

High up in the sky.

Hai Tuo went back to his palace. He sat down and exclaimed, "I thought there would be a thousand people left. I didn't know that this year's students would be so cruel!"

"It's not worth it to waste your energy for fame and fortune," the Illusion Hunter said coldly.

He was glad to see that Su Ping had only taken out 10 ID cards.

"Hmm, that's not something you can say. Don't you always like to be high-profile?" Shadow squinted at the Illusion Hunter and said sarcastically.

The Illusion Hunter raised his eyebrows. "I will do things according to the situation. I have the capital and the ability to be high-profile. Do those kids have it?"

Shadow didn't say anything. He didn't refute the Illusion Hunter. After all, he had always been a low-key person. That was why he didn't like the Illusion Hunter, who had always been high-profile. However, he didn't expect that the Illusion Hunter would have the same idea.

Hai Tuo didn't interrupt their conversation. Instead, he said with anticipation, "I hope that our solar system can give birth to some students who can step onto the stage of the universe. It will be an honor for our solar system if they can catch the attention of those supreme beings."

Overall, he was quite satisfied with the survival competition. There were many good seedlings, and he thought that they had a chance of stepping onto the stage of the Great Universe Competition.

The Illusion Hunter's eyes flickered. He said calmly, "Don't be too happy yet. I heard that some of the old guys participated this time. They let their reincarnations participate and compete with the juniors. I reckon that the final stage of the Great Universe Competition will be those old guys performing."

Shadow drank a cup of wine and squinted. "I heard about this too. It seems to be related to the Divine Sea Secret Land."

Hai Tuo frowned slightly. "I heard about this too. However, the information is not complete yet. Furthermore, the higher-ups have blocked the news. It's best that we don't talk about it. Otherwise, if the supreme beings hear about it, it will inevitably affect our reputation. It's best that you don't spread rumors."

The eyes of the two of them flashed. They did not speak, but they were a little surprised. From Hai Tuo's tone, could the rumors be true?

As they conversed, the starry sky suddenly shook.

An ancient, majestic Divine Mountain tore through the void and appeared above the void continent. It pushed away the aircraft carriers in the area and arrived at a high altitude.

Although it was called a mountain, the height of the Divine Mountain was several times larger than the Lesser Thunder Planet next to it.

"It's the old fist master!"

"He's here? Could it be that his successor is in there? "

Hai Tuo and the Phantom Hunter God looked up. The Phantom Hunter God frowned.

Hai Tuo's figure flickered and appeared in front of the Divine Mountain. He said, "How did the old fist master find the time to come here?"

"Lord Hai Tuo, I'm here to pick some disciples. Do you have any objections?" An old and loud voice came from the top of the mountain. A huge astral projection appeared on the top of the mountain. It was an old man with a strong brow ridge. He looked very dignified and domineering.

Hai Tuo smiled and said, "Of course. Pick whoever you like."

"That won't do."

At this moment, a light voice suddenly rang out in the empty space. It was like the Sanskrit of the Nine Heavens, ethereal and ethereal like the sounds of nature. Then, the void split open, and a phoenix covered in black flames flew out. There was a palace on the phoenix's head, and in the palace sat a figure of peerless elegance.

The black flame phoenix was extremely huge. Its wings covered the sky, and its body was the size of a continent when stretched out.

"The Palace Lord of the Black Phoenix Palace is here too!"

"Two more Ascendant Gods!"

"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck, it's such a waste not to be there!"

Countless people in front of the live broadcast were shocked when they saw this scene.

Shadow's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and a gloomy expression flashed across his face.

Hai Tuo was stunned, and he said with a smile, "Palace Lord Yan is also here to accept disciples? I remember that the Black Phoenix Palace only accepts disciples with the Phoenix Blood Battle Physique. I don't think I've seen many girls with the Phoenix Blood Battle Physique this time."
