"Break!"
Jiang Taixu whispered. His palm was like a sword as he slashed forward.
Boom! Boom!
In an instant, nine shields exploded, but that was not all. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth shields exploded.
In the blink of an eye, 18 shields exploded.
"Break again!"
Jiang Taixu shouted. His aura became even sharper as he slashed out again. This time, the crowd seemed to see a saber slashing forward.
Bang! Bang!
One shield after another exploded. The powerful Astral Wind and Qi were sent flying back. However, Jiang Taixu did not move at all.
He continued to attack, shattering everything.
In the end, a total of 28 shields were shattered.
Jiang Taixu shattered 28 of the 36 shields, which was an amazing result.
No one at the King Realm had ever been able to shatter all 36 shields.
In this round of eighteen people, other than Jiang Taixu, the strongest person had only managed to break twelve shields. The gap was too big.
Following that, 18 people took turns in a row, 18 people took turns in a row, and more people went up.
But the success rate was only about one-third.
Many people who failed shook their heads and sighed. They were not fated to be on the Heavenly King List this time.
Gao Qiang was ranked last on the List of Top 1,000 Talents. As he had lost an arm, his combat power was reduced and he only managed to shatter twelve shields.
Qin Qingshan had shattered sixteen pieces.
Wang Mang shattered 20 shields.
Wang Mie was very strong. He shattered 24 shields, which was only four shields away from Jiang Taixu.
But the further one went, the harder the shields became. It was too difficult to shatter them. One shield was a big gap.
A day later, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of people had taken turns.
Among them, there were a few amazing experts who attracted Lu Ming's attention.
Like Jiang Taixu, all of them had shattered twenty-eight shields.
Lu Ming knew from the others that these people were either geniuses from the six ancient families or experts from the Heavenly Corpse Sect. They were also geniuses in the previous Ten Heavenly Kings.
There were five of them in the previous Ten Heavenly Kings, including Jiang Taixu.
There was no doubt that these five people were absolutely extraordinarily terrifying. They were the 10 Heavenly Kings during the last competition, and then they'd stayed at the peak of the King Realm for three years. So, how terrifying would their combat strengths be?
It wasn't that these people couldn't break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm. They could do so at any time. They just wanted to accumulate more and be stronger. Once they broke through to the Spiritual Sea Realm, there was no doubt that their cultivation would improve rapidly and reach a new height in a short time.
Of course, the others did not break so many pieces, but it did not mean that there were no masters who could compete with Jiang Taixu and the others. It was normal for some people to hide their strength. Anyway, as long as they broke nine pieces, they could pass.
The twenty-eight pieces that Jiang Taixu and the others had shattered might not be their limit.
Lu Ming and the others were at the back of the queue. It was only their turn the next day.
Lu Ming, Xie Nianqing, Kenfei Ryū, and Fatty Kong Jin stepped onto the square together.
Everyone's eyes turned to look at them.
Especially Fatty Kong Jin, Xie Nianqing, and Lu Ming, because the three of them had reached the twentieth step.
Boom!
Lu Ming was very straightforward. He punched out.
A ray of fist radiance shot out and hit the shields. The shields shattered one by one.
Sure enough, the further the shields went, the harder they became and the harder they were to break. Every time a shield shattered, a strong force would hit back at Lu Ming.
With a single punch, the nine shields exploded.
"That's enough!"
Lu Ming smiled faintly and did not continue attacking.
He looked to the side and found that Xie Nianqing had also shattered nine pieces and stopped.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Anyway, nine pieces were enough to pass. What was the point of shattering so many?
The rest of the people present were speechless. Originally, they wanted to see Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing's attack power. Unexpectedly, the two of them stopped after smashing nine pieces. This made many people feel depressed.
Obviously, the two of them did not use their full strength. They just wanted to pass.
Of course, there were people who disagreed.
"Hmph, maybe their attacking power is not high and they dare not use their full strength. That's why they shattered nine shields. They are deliberately mystifying and attracting attention!"
Someone snorted and did not think highly of Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing.
At this time, there was a commotion.
Lu Ming turned his head and saw Fatty Kong Jin, who was triumphant. In front of him, twenty-eight pieces were shattered.
No wonder everyone was so surprised. To be able to shatter twenty-eight shields, his attacking power was comparable to Jiang Taixu and the others.
"Who's this fatty? I've never seen him before. Where did this peerless genius come from? "
"I've never seen him before either. Maybe he's a disciple secretly taken in by a peerless powerhouse? There are too many geniuses now. "
Fatty Kong Jin looked around with a big axe on his shoulder. He grinned and looked very pleased with himself.
Soon, this group of people was finished, and the next group of people was replaced.
"Corpse King!"
In this group, the Corpse King went up. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Corpse King.
The Corpse King was also a person who stepped on the twentieth step.
"Boom!"
The Corpse King was very straightforward. He directly punched out. The terrifying fist force shattered the shields in front of him one by one. After a few punches, twenty-eight shields were shattered.
At this time, he suddenly stopped.
"This guy's strength is not bad. I feel that he didn't use his full strength. Interesting."
Fatty Kong Jin stood beside Lu Ming and stared at the Corpse King with sparkling eyes. His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
The next moment, a leg of an unknown beast appeared in his hand and he began to gnaw on it.
Lu Ming was speechless and did not bother to pay attention to him.
As time passed, people went up and down in batches. After a day, all the tests were over.
A total of one hundred and twenty thousand people participated in the test, and only about forty thousand passed.
It was obvious how difficult it was.
One had to know that those who could come here were all peak-level Kings. Many of them had good battle strength among peak-level Kings. Many of them were old fellows who had cultivated for hundreds of years.
"Alright, the first round of the test is over. Those who passed the first round will go with us to the other Heavenly King Stele!"
Dongfang Hao announced.
Then, Daoist Master Three Corpses and the rest of the Heavenly Corpse Sect flew towards the north.
Lu Ming and the rest followed.
There were a total of two Heavenly King Steles. They had seen one of them before. The other one was the place where the final battle of the Heavenly King Rankings took place.
In front of them was an abyss that was ten miles wide. On the other side, there was a huge stone stele that stood there. It was a thousand meters tall and a few hundred meters wide. It was simple and unadorned.
This was the second Heavenly King Stele.
"Under this abyss, there is a peerless killing formation. If you fall, you will die without a doubt. The entire abyss is filled with astral winds, making it extremely difficult to fly."
"The final battle will be inside the Heavenly King Stele. The stele is a world of its own. Later, the Heavenly King Stele will shine. At that time, you can rush in. However, the Heavenly King Stele's light will only last for half an hour. You need to fly over this abyss and rush into the Heavenly King Stele. Those who fail to do so will be eliminated!"
