The second phase of the fierce competition was gradually coming to an end. Most of the golden rings on Qiong Qi's body in the small world had been transferred to the hands of the cultivators who were participating in the spell assembly, except for Qiong Qi's own golden ring, which was destroyed by Qiong Qi.
Therefore, the cultivators also targeted the others and began to snatch the golden rings from them.
Xu Yunsheng of the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men was one of the first to enter the small world. Apart from obtaining some golden rings from hunting Qiong Qi, he had also obtained a few golden rings from fighting other cultivators. Thus, he was the first to collect ten golden rings and successfully advanced to the third stage as the first person in the group.
Dao Yuting was slightly slower than him. The time spent in the second stage was basically the same, but Dao Yuting's group was slightly later than Xu Yunsheng's group in the first stage of climbing the Starry Sky Pagoda. In the end, the difference in time was basically the same.
Chen Xingyu, who was in the third place, attracted more attention. Not only did his presence prevent Xuanmen Tianzong from monopolizing the first two places, but the ten golden rings he collected in the second stage were all obtained from hunting Qiong Qi.
Chen Xingyu's ten golden rings were all obtained from Qiong Qi. From the beginning to the end, he did not fight with other cultivators. He did not snatch anyone's golden rings, nor was he robbed by anyone. He did not even come into contact with other cultivators.
The cultivators in the Spreading Law Hall were just amazed, but the group of Primordial Spirit experts in the All-Heaven Grand Hall all revealed knowing smiles.
It was not a coincidence that Chen Xingyu did not meet other cultivators. Instead, he was always one step ahead of others before they noticed his presence.
There were also other cultivators who could do this. Some of them would specifically look for other cultivators to see if they had any golden rings on them. However, every time Chen Xingyu found other cultivators, he would avoid them.
Due to the unexpected situation in the Starry Sky Pagoda, Chen Xingyu's group actually entered the second stage later than Xu Yunsheng and Dao Yuting. However, after collecting ten golden rings and passing the second stage, he did not fall too far behind and successfully took third place.
At that time, the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciple Kang Hai, who had arrived at the top of the Starry Sky Pagoda with him and entered the small world, only had three golden rings. He was busy ambushing Shi Shaoqian and Shi Jingyun with Fan Xuefeng.
After Chen Xingyu, everyone was hoping that there would be another cultivator from another power who could seize the fourth place, but in the end, the fourth place was still taken by little Lin Tong, who came from the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed: "Snatching my goddaughter's things? Please, including everyone who participated in the Starry Sky Pagoda, there are less than five people who can rob Tong 'er in a duel! "
Luo Qingwu smiled and shook her head. "Little Tong 'er's appearance is too deceiving. Her strength is currently number one among Fen Tianya's direct disciples."
Xiao Yan pointed at her and smiled. "Just like you."
Luo Qingwu giggled and waved her hand. "Xiao Wu can't do it. I should say, she's just like Little Senior Brother back then."
Thinking about how Shi Tianhao beat up Yuanying Patriarch when he was only ten years old, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and the others laughed even more.
"Next, I'm afraid the fifth place will be that Heavenly Sword Sect's Kang Hai. It's a pity for Yuncong." After laughing, Yue Hongyan looked at the Light Illusion and sighed.
At this moment, in the pocket dimension, there was a conspicuous golden number "10" on top of Zhou Yuncong's head. He had also gathered 10 golden hoops and was now quietly waiting for 15 minutes to pass before he would be transported out of the pocket dimension.
However, the time that Zhou Yuncong took to gather 10 golden hoops was slightly later than Kang Hai. In this way, the time that he would be transported out of the pocket dimension would also be slightly later.
Yang Qing smiled. "The world is unpredictable. Anything can happen. This is the original intention of the rules of the Starry Sky Pagoda."
To be fair, Kang Hai's strength actually couldn't reach his current results. However, with many coincidences, he had the hope of becoming the fifth place, which was better than many people.
Chu Yang directly gave Kang Hai seven golden hoops, indirectly kicking Kang Hai out of the game. Not only did he not affect the situation on his side, it was also equivalent to guaranteeing Kang Hai's advancement to the third stage.
Everyone in the Spreading Law Hall looked at the lucky Kang Hai and could not help but shake their heads and sigh. This luck was too good.
Just as they were thinking about this, something strange happened. A figure suddenly appeared in front of Kang Hai.
It was a tall youth who looked to be in his twenties. He had a handsome face and a determined expression.
The number one of the Lei family's younger generation, also known as the Young Master of the Lei family, Lei Jie.
The golden light above Lei Jie's head flashed. It was a golden number "5", indicating that he already had five golden hoops.
In the first stage, Lei Jie did not walk with his group, but climbed the Starry Sky Pagoda alone. Even so, his speed was extremely fast, even faster than the combined speed of the others in his group.
Lei Jie had actually reached the top of the pagoda very early. However, due to the rules, he had to wait at the top of the pagoda until his group arrived. Only then did they advance to the second stage and enter the pocket dimension.
According to the eight groups that advanced in the first stage, Lei Jie's group belonged to the bottom. However, at this time, Lei Jie had already collected five golden hoops, displaying the same strong strength as when he ascended the pagoda.
When Kang Hai saw Lei Jie, his brows furrowed slightly. He was not afraid of him, but he had already collected ten golden hoops. All he needed to do was to advance. There was no need to waste his spiritual power and mental energy to fight with Lei Jie.
Thinking of this, Kang Hai once again used the Heavenly Sword Escape, wanting to escape far away and avoid Lei Jie.
Who knew that just as he moved, a shadow flashed in front of him. The speed was so fast that it made Kang Hai's skin crawl.
Lei Jie's entire body flickered with azure lightning. Kang Hai wanted to escape, but every time, Lei Jie would block him. Kang Hai was fast, but Lei Jie was even faster. He was like a ghostly lightning.
Kang Hai looked at the surging green lightning on Lei Jie's body in shock. "That green lightning of his is a little strange. His speed is even faster than my Heavenly Sword Escape Technique. It's practically comparable to my sect's Great Dao Heavenly Sword. Shushan's Shaoze Sword Artifact, Celeritas Sword Sect's Instant Sword Escape, is only so-so."
"Five Golden Hoops, or all ten of them," Lei Jie said calmly, his voice like thunder.
Kang Hai was unwilling. "The time limit is almost up. How can I just give it to you for free?"
He made a hand seal, and a sharp Sword Qi that pierced through the heavens shot straight into the Nine Heavens, as if it was a path to heaven. His body and sword became one, intending to attack Lei Jie.
This time, however, he wasn't trying to escape. Instead, he was trying to fight Lei Jie head-on to determine the victor.
Lei Jie's expression didn't change as he formed a hand seal. Balls of azure lightning flew out from his body and condensed into a phantom image in midair.
Under the pitch-black sky, dark clouds rolled and lightning flashed, as if the end of the world had arrived.
An aura of great disaster, great destruction, and great suffering emanated from it. Thick lightning snakes twisted continuously, and the phantom image seemed to present a horrifying hell full of lightning.
This was the Lei Clan's secret, top-notch mystique, Lightning Purgatory. It threw opponents who dared to oppose it into a hell of lightning to suffer endless torture, never to be reincarnated.
If it was just the Lightning Purgatory, although it was powerful, it was nothing to Kang Hai. His Heavenly Sword Sect's sword arts were above the Lei Clan's.
However, it was different from ordinary Lightning Purgatory. Within the phantom image of the purgatory above Lei Jie's head, thousands of lightning bolts actually gradually condensed in the air, transforming into a roaring giant god of lightning!
In the illusory sky, nine mysterious auras faintly converged on the giant god of lightning, causing its power to grow stronger and stronger.
Later on, the giant god of lightning actually showed signs of turning illusory into reality, as if it was about to become a real existence and descend into this world.
Dazzling azure lightning lit up all over the giant god of lightning, clashing with Kang Hai, sending him flying along with his sword.
Kang Hai's entire body was shaken to the point that his spiritual power was unstable, his spirit was shaken, and his blood and Qi were in turmoil. He had actually been injured in that exchange just now.
The giant god of lightning's body also collapsed, but it was not destroyed by Kang Hai. Instead, it transformed on its own, collapsing but not dissipating, turning into a sea of lightning that trapped Kang Hai. The lightning lashed at Kang Hai like whips, constantly whittling away at his spiritual power.
Kang Hai was shocked. His Heavenly Sword Escape's sharp spiritual power was actually on the verge of collapse under the bombardment of the opponent's azure lightning.
If this continued for a long time, Lei Jie would definitely break through his defenses and use his lightning to destroy him.
At this point, Kang Hai did not dare to continue stubbornly. He hurriedly called out, "I'll give you five golden hoops!" Although he was a little cowardly, he still had five golden hoops left. It was not impossible for him to continue advancing. There was no mortal enmity between them, and it was not necessary to fight to the death. Perhaps an all-out attack could injure the opponent, but Kang Hai did not think that was necessary.
Since Kang Hai was willing to hand over the five golden hoops, Lei Jie did not continue to force him. He took the five golden hoops and left. The golden number above his head also changed from five to ten.
Kang Hai looked at the number "five" above his head and smiled wryly.
This turn of events caught the spectators by surprise. Kang Hai, who had been proud of himself just a moment ago, had become someone else's bride in the blink of an eye.
Apart from Lei Jie replacing Kang Hai in collecting the ten golden hoops, there was another direct result of this sudden change, which was that Zhou Yuncong, who had been slightly behind Kang Hai in time, advanced to the third stage in fifth place.
Lei Jie had only just obtained the golden hoops from Kang Hai, so he naturally fell behind Zhou Yuncong. In the end, Lei Jie advanced to the third stage in sixth place.
In seventh place was Chu Yang, who had found the golden hoops he had hidden in the beginning. This dark horse who had stood out in the second stage could be considered a dark horse to the very end, stunning everyone. Even if he did not have any performance in the third stage, he could be considered to have made a name for himself in this Dharma Assembly.
Everyone's attention was focused on the illusion of light and shadow. Now, there was only one advancing spot left, but it was still up in the air.
