Xie Tian had personally carved out his left eye from the super teleportation formation deep within the Ancient Wasteland of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Thus, this was a Dead Eye.
Almost all Dead Eyes in the world were the same, dull and lifeless.
This one was the same.
But what was different was that this was a Dead Eye …
Anyone who looked at this eye would die.
Two breaths before the end of the preliminaries, Devouring Cang saw this Dead Eye.
In an instant, all the hairs on his body stood on end. Even in the more than ten years of his life in ancient times, he had never encountered such a threat of death.
He was of the Kun Peng Tribe, the ancestor of the Kun Peng Tribe, an existence that surpassed the Eight Great Savage Beasts.
Thus, the inheritance flowing through his bloodline told him that this Dead Eye contained the innate destructive intent of the ancient demonic beasts.
Even if it was only a sliver, once he came into contact with it, he would die without a doubt. Even thirty percent of his ancestor's bloodline would not be able to save him.
Unless his bloodline broke through forty percent and he could summon his ancestor's soul.
But this was impossible.
Thus, he had to die.
When these two words appeared in his muddle-headed mind due to the fear of death, Devouring Cang's face suddenly paled, and his proud Dao Heart instantly sank into an abyss of dejection.
Because he knew that even if he had reached the phenomenal success stage of Roc Soars the Heavens, he would still not be able to escape from this eye.
This was the unique feeling of a noble ancient remnant beast, and it was also the providence of the heavens.
This providence would remind the prodigies that they had encountered a life-threatening threat and that they should run. If they didn't run, they would die. If they ran, they would still be a prodigy.
But at this moment, he didn't need to run, he only needed …
"I admit defeat."
As these three trembling words left Devouring Cang's mouth, he tossed his token to Xie Tian.
Devouring Cang's every word and action was for the sake of preserving his life.
To preserve his life against this Dead Eye.
To the cultivators of Residence City, to Chōrei, and to the Zhou Family's ancestor, these words and actions were like a bolt of lightning that could destroy heaven and earth!
They were scared out of their wits!
Why?
Why would Devouring Cang admit defeat just because Xie Tian took off his blindfold?
No one could figure it out, because Xie Tian, who had his back to everyone, only showed his dead eyes to Devouring Cang!
But in the next moment, something even more infuriating occurred!
Faced with the token that Devouring Cang tossed over, Xie Tian did not catch it. Instead, he put the blindfold back on!
The instant he put it on, the heavens and earth buzzed and distorted. At the same time, a vast sound descended from the heavens!
"The preliminaries of the Fighting List, end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless rays of white light descended from the sky, enveloping all the cultivators on the Battle Roll before being sent out.
Sou sou sou …
Nearly sixty thousand cultivators of the three realms appeared in the sky above Residence City.
"Hurry up and pick him up!" The Patriarch of the Zhou Family suddenly trembled and shouted coldly, "Bring Xie Tian Wu Shang back first!"
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Three consecutive mouthfuls of blood spewed from Xie Tian's mouth. The calmness in his blood-red eyes instantly disappeared and was replaced by deep exhaustion.
Seeing Xie Tian fall from the sky, Zhang Ye's father instantly rose into the air. But before he could catch him, a golden light flashed and caught Xie Tian.
Zhang Ye's father was stunned for a moment before he smiled at Devouring Cang and said, "Looks like we appreciate each other. This old man didn't see anything, I'll flash …"
Glancing at Zhang Ye, Devouring Cang looked at Xie Tian with some doubt in his eyes.
He did not know why Xie Tian had fainted.
Of course, he did not know that this was the first time Xie Tian had fainted from exhaustion since he had stepped onto the path of cultivation.
"What exactly happened? Why are you so tired …"
Thinking of Xie Tian's last action of taking off his blindfold, Devouring Cang frowned slightly. His gaze also moved away from Xie Tian and unconsciously swept over the people in the residence.
Then, he found the answer from the faces of the cultivators in the residence and their conversations.
At the same time he found the answer, Devouring Cang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"He finally fainted. I thought he was made of iron. I can finally sleep tonight …"
"Unbelievable. Burning his blood and soul, breaking through ten holes, breaking through ten small realms, dual cultivation to perfection …"
"Breaking through the Heaven Imperial Court in one breath, breaking through ten ambushes in half a day, and even comprehending the Shura Intent …"
"Breaking through four levels and three levels in a single day. This kind of achievement, even in Heavenly Law City, would be ranked high …"
…
As the crowd pointed at him, Devouring Cang's body swayed and his face was unprecedentedly pale.
He finally knew why Xie Tian had fainted!
Not only had he entered nine holes, he had entered ten!
In a single day, he had done something that would take him a month to complete!
He had not even been this depressed when facing the Soul Enchanting Heavenly Eyes!
This was how Xie Tian treated him! The most powerful! The most domineering counterattack!
"It's not the fault of the battle."
Just as Devouring Cang's Dao heart was shaken, a thick Dao voice rang in his ears.
Devouring Cang looked over in a daze and saw Chōrei standing at the side, smiling at him. "The only thing you lose to him is that you're not as ruthless as him."
"Ruthless?" Devouring Cang repeated in a daze.
"Ruthless to yourself."
"Why, why must you be ruthless to yourself …"
"Because the path is difficult." Chōrei's voice was filled with Dao. "Even for ancient remnant beasts, the path is difficult."
Devouring Cang nodded thoughtfully. Right then, a cry of surprise sounded.
"Brother Xie Tian!"
Chu Lingxian, who was frowning, could not help but feel happy when she saw Xie Tian. However, when she saw Xie Tian had fainted, her clear eyes narrowed and she looked at Devouring Cang in Silence. "You did this?"
Devouring Cang felt goosebumps and did not dare to speak. Seeing that, Chōrei hurriedly interrupted, "Xie Tian fainted from exhaustion."
"Give him to me." Chu Lingxian's expression softened a little. She took Xie Tian and wanted to wake him up. Chōrei said again, "If I were you, I'd better not wake him up."
Chu Lingxian rolled her eyes and sneered. "I know. Are you afraid of solving the case?"
Chōrei was stunned. She snorted coldly and left with Devouring Cang. Right then, Zhou Qing arrived and said anxiously, "Wu Shang, you must not wake Xie Tian. He really fainted from exhaustion!"
"What exactly happened?" Chu Lingxian finally believed it. She was shocked. "My brother is so awesome. How could he faint from exhaustion?"
Zhou Si smiled bitterly. "You know he's awesome, but you don't know how awesome he's done …"
Chu Lingxian was shocked again. Then, she said with joy, "Could it be that my brother Xie Tian also took first place in the supernatural ability category like me? Hahahaha, I knew it, I knew it … "
Seeing that Chu Lingxian was so happy, the Zhou Family members didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They also couldn't suppress the ecstasy in their hearts. Because at least one of the two people in front of them took first place in the preliminary of the fighting list for the Zhou Family!
And the other first place was also within reach!
"You go back first. The Old Man will go look for Fellow Daoist Chōrei." Zhou Qing ordered and flew toward the high platform.
Now, the most attention in the entire lodging house wasn't the casino owner who got rich overnight, but who the first place in the supernatural ability category belonged to.
If it was according to the supernatural ability list, then Devouring Cang was undoubtedly the first place. Because his points were more than two million more than Xie Tian's.
But don't forget that at the last breath after the preliminary of the fighting list, Devouring Cang admitted defeat and even threw his token to Xie Tian.
"If Xie Tian didn't wear the blindfold at the last moment and took the token instead, it would have been great …"
Seeing Chōrei, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Chōrei also nodded and sighed. "Yes, so I can't make a decision on this matter. We can only wait for the decision from Tiandao City."
"Fellow Daoist Chōrei, may I ask," Zhou Qing cautiously said, "If Xie Tian is ranked second, does he have any hope of entering the main competition?"
"I'm not sure." Chōrei thought for a moment and shook her head. "I heard that there are many talents in this year's fighting list. In addition, the lodging house is only a small city with a mere 100,000 participants. You also know the situation in other big cities. Go back and wait for the news."
Zhou Qing sighed. He knew that some big cities had hundreds of thousands or even millions of participants. Thus, after glancing at Devouring Cang on the high platform, he could only helplessly return to the Zhou Family's territory.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Devouring Cang was still in a daze, Chōrei asked curiously.
Devouring Cang shook his head and didn't say anything about what just happened.
At this moment, he finally understood why Xie Tian didn't take the token before the fighting list ended.
"He knows that he's at his limit and is about to faint, so even if he doesn't want the token, he still wants to hide that Death Eye …"
Devouring Cang was silent for a long time before he laughed bitterly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, because I'm really not as ruthless as you …"
