Intense flames shot out with shocking might.
Number 18 and Number 36 fought fiercely.
Chu Mu and the others realized that no matter how they attacked, their auras didn't surpass the peak of the Three Star Saint Realm.
Could it be that they were deliberately limiting their offensive power?
That shouldn't be possible. Only a fool would deliberately limit their offensive power in such a battle. If so, why was their offensive power limited to the peak of the Three Star Saint Realm?
Soon, everyone had an answer.
They were limited by the Sky Ancient Sacred Hall.
Not only were their primordial spirits limited to the peak of the third level, but their cultivation base was also limited to the peak of the third level. Even their offensive power was limited to the peak of the Three Star Saint Realm.
One had to know that although some people's cultivation base wasn't high, they had shocking battle prowess. They could easily defeat those stronger than them. True monstrous geniuses were like that.
For example, Chu Mu was only at the early Second Heavenly Layer of the Three Star Saints. In other words, the restrictions on his primordial spirit and cultivation base didn't affect Chu Mu's strength too much. He could fight those stronger than him.
Another example was the peerless experts. Each of them had a profound cultivation base, far surpassing the others. Their battle experience was incomparably rich, and their life and death experiences were many times more than the others. The same amount of strength in the hands of others might be one or two times of strength, but in their hands, it could reach thirty or even fifty times of strength.
Therefore, even if their cultivation base was limited to the peak of the third level of the Three Star Saint Realm, they could still display strength that surpassed their cultivation base. It wasn't difficult for them to reach the peak of the Five Star Saint Realm.
However, the current situation was completely out of everyone's expectations. Even the greatest power had been restricted to the peak of the Three-star Martial Saint level. This meant that everyone's ability to fight above their level had been restricted. They couldn't unleash their power and became like the others, losing an advantage.
This discovery caused the faces of the peerless experts to darken. They originally thought that they could sweep through the others, but it seemed like their hopes were dashed.
In a battle with the same cultivation base and the same power, if they wanted to win, they could only rely on their own battle techniques.
There were many aspects to battle techniques. Pure technique, the grasp of timing, the control of rhythm, and so on.
This required talent and sufficient experience.
Facing the same level of power, Number 18 and Number 36 unleashed all of their abilities and techniques in an attempt to defeat each other.
After watching for a while, Chu Mu knew that there wasn't much to see. The skills of these two people were at an average level, and it was difficult to determine the winner. It was estimated that the battle would last for quite a long time.
"Holy Spirit." Chu Mu tried to speak. He didn't know if the Holy Spirit would respond to him.
"So, it's you, lucky kid. What business do you have with me?" The Holy Spirit's voice rang out.
"Previously, you said that I was the first to pass through Heaven's Moat and received an additional chance at the lottery, right?" Chu Mu asked.
"That's right. Do you want to draw a prize now?" the Holy Spirit asked Chu Mu.
"Yes," Chu Mu said.
As soon as his voice fell, a round plate as tall as a person appeared in front of him.
The round plate was divided into ninety-nine fan-shaped regions. Each region was different in size. Nine of them were blank, and the other ninety-nine had different patterns on them. Some were in the shape of flowers, some were in the shape of pills, some were in the shape of stones, some were in the shape of white jade, and so on. A golden pointer pointed straight up, just motionless between two regions.
"As you can see, the ninety-nine regions represent ninety-nine possibilities." The Holy Spirit said, "Nine blank regions represent that there are no treasures. If your luck isn't good enough, it's very likely that you won't get anything. In addition, there are treasures in the ninety-nine regions, but the value of the treasures is different. The bigger the region, the lower the value of the treasures. On the contrary, the smaller the region, the higher the value of the treasures. Of course, the treasures collected by my master are all very valuable."
"Now, turn that pointer, young man," the Holy Spirit said at last.
Chu Mu nodded, stretched out a finger, and put it on the golden pointer. With a strong push, the golden pointer started to spin quickly. Chu Mu tried to release his spiritual power to control the golden pointer, intending to make the golden pointer stop in the smallest fan-shaped region.
After all, the treasures in the smallest region were the most precious. Although he didn't know what it was, at least it was good.
"Young man, don't do useless work. This is not something you can control." The Holy Spirit's voice carried a bit of banter.
Sure enough, Chu Mu felt that his spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the sea. It had no effect.
It seemed that he could only rely on luck.
The golden pointer kept spinning, and its speed was getting slower and slower. He could already see the pointer's movement.
After more than ten breaths, the golden pointer almost stopped.
At this time, the golden pointer was moving to a blank region. A blank region meant that there were no treasures. If it stopped here, it meant that Chu Mu had gained nothing this time.
Fortunately, the golden pointer didn't stop, but slowly moved to the next region. This region was the smallest region in the entire wheel.
Chu Mu's heart suddenly became excited, full of expectations. It would be best if the pointer stopped in the smallest region, and he could get the most precious treasure.
The golden pointer didn't stop, and moved at a turtle's speed, to the next region. The next region wasn't the largest region, nor was it the smallest region. It was a medium region.
The golden pointer stopped when it was near the edge of this region.
"Good luck, you got a treasure." The Holy Spirit smiled. Immediately, the stone-like treasure in the region that the pointer was pointing at flew out from the wheel, towards Chu Mu. Chu Mu reached out his hand and grabbed it.
This was an oval-shaped silver stone. It was as smooth and round as a gemstone and emitted a weak energy fluctuation. Chu Mu was very familiar with this energy fluctuation. It belonged to spatial energy fluctuations.
"What kind of treasure is this?" Chu Mu was puzzled.
"Void Escape Stone, it has the power of space. It can be activated with the power of the spirit. After it is activated, it will take you away from your original place, and randomly appear ten thousand miles away." The Holy Spirit explained to Chu Mu, "This is an excellent treasure for escaping. Even if your opponent is a peerless master, you can still escape. However, it can only be used once."
It could even escape from a peerless master. Chu Mu was surprised. This Void Escape Stone was indeed a very good treasure, an excellent life-saving treasure.
With a thought, the Void Escape Stone was put away into the small space that he carried with him.
"Well, you have used your chance to draw the lottery. Next time, if you want to draw the lottery, you have to defeat others and get ten points." The Holy Spirit's voice became silent.
At this time, the battle between number eighteen and number thirty-six hadn't ended yet, but it had already reached its climax.
Both sides used their best techniques. Perhaps it was good, but in Chu Mu's eyes, it was still not enough.
After a few dozen breaths of time, number thirty-six showed a very hidden flaw, which number eighteen grasped. Then, he closed in on number eighteen and stretched out his right hand at close range, blasting out a flame attack.
Number eighteen was directly hit by the flame attack and was sent flying. Half of her body was charred black. Clearly, she had suffered heavy injuries.
"I … admit … defeat …" Number eighteen said with difficulty.
The moment he admitted defeat, his entire body was wrapped up by a power. He was transported through time and space, disappearing before everyone's eyes. He was sent out of the Sacred Hall.
"Congratulations, number thirty-six, you have obtained one point. Now you have two points. Go back and wait for the next battle." The Holy Spirit said.
Number thirty-six breathed a sigh of relief and turned to return to his room.
That battle had consumed a lot of energy, so he quickly recovered.
The wheel appeared again, and the two red needles spun quickly, choosing a new opponent.
Not long after, the red needles stopped, and the opponent was chosen.
Number three against number seventy-five!
Number three was one of the dozen or so peerless powerhouses, and it was the ferocious Zheng Li.
Number seventy-five was previously a high-level Saint-level powerhouse.
Under normal circumstances, even a nine-star Saint-level powerhouse would not be able to fight against a peerless powerhouse. The difference between the two was too great.
However, the situation now was different. Their cultivation was restricted, and their highest attack power was also restricted. They were at the same level. Perhaps a peerless powerhouse would have more battle experience. After all, they had lived longer and experienced more. However, this did not mean that he had no resistance at all.
Perhaps, he could even defeat a peerless powerhouse.
Even if it was a peerless expert whose cultivation and strength were restricted, he was still a peerless expert. Defeating his opponent could satisfy his soul and strengthen his confidence. It would be helpful for him to break through to a higher realm in the future.
"If you admit defeat now, you can live." Zheng Li revealed a ferocious smile and said with murderous intent.
Number seventy-five's expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment. Then, his hesitation was replaced by determination.
"I don't believe that you can still kill me right now," number seventy-five said softly.
Zheng Li smiled disdainfully. Without saying anything else, he directly launched an attack. With a flash, he was like an eagle swooping down on its prey. His trajectory seemed straight, but it was filled with profound mysteries. It was impossible to predict his trajectory and where he would land.
As expected of a peerless expert. Even if his primordial spirit was restricted, his cultivation was restricted, and his strength was restricted, he still displayed abilities that far surpassed others. It was fine if he didn't attack, but once he attacked, it was shocking. Chu Mu also narrowed his eyes and carefully stared at Zheng Li's figure, his thoughts rapidly turning.
