After a few rounds of fighting, the competition in Area 3 finally came to an end.
First place: Zhao Feng
Second place: Xu Zixuan
Third place: Gu Lanyue
Amongst them, Zhao Feng, the black horse, had created miracles with each step and toppled everyone's knowledge to become the new Star of the Alliance.
At the same time.
The other battles had either ended or were nearing the end.
According to the rules of the Alliance Banquet, the top three from each side would enter the Wind and Cloud Finals.
The finals would be a moment that would decide one's fate and history.
Only by reaching the top ten would one receive great rewards.
Reaching the top three would give one the right to comprehend the intent of the Sovereign Hidden Dragon Ruins.
The first place would receive the greatest reward, a Shedding Spiritual Pill.
"My current cultivation has reached the peak of the 5th Sky. Once I break through to the 6th Sky, I'll use a Shedding Spiritual Pill and I'll be able to step into the 7th Sky."
Zhao Feng's eyes were resolute as he clenched his fists.
Furthermore, entering the Sovereign Hidden Dragon Ruins would give him the power of Zhao Feng's God's Spiritual Eye. Maybe he would have new insights and breakthroughs.
This meant that if Zhao Feng could obtain first place, his cultivation and strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
Right at this moment.
On Area 1, a battle that attracted everyone's attention came.
Cang Yuyue vs Bei Moi.
Bei Moi was also the black horse of the Alliance Banquet.
Jiang!
The dazzling sword rainbow tore through the void, and it had a boundless sword aura that seemed capable of severing heaven and earth.
In that instant, everyone felt as if their hearts had been pierced by a sword.
Dark Water Barrier!
The dark blue ripples around Bei Moi's body instantly formed a water curtain-like barrier. The endless ripples were deep blue and as vast as the sea.
At the same time, the Green Gold Cicada Robe on his body glowed with gold and green light.
Shua!
The instant the Dark Water Barrier was formed, the Cicada Robe on Bei Moi's back spread its wings and shot towards Cang Yuyue like a golden cicada.
However.
No one could escape from Cang Yuyue's attack.
"Crack!" Bei Moi's strongest defense, the Dark Water Barrier, instantly shattered and a trail of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips. His Dark Water Barrier could block multiple attacks from cultivators at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm, but it had been broken by Cang Yuyue with one sword.
Luckily, he had the Green Gold Cicada Robe, which not only increased his defense, it also increased his speed as he charged at Cang Yuyue.
Ten zhang … eight zhang … five zhang …
Ever since the start of the Alliance Banquet, no one had been able to get so close to Cang Yuyue.
This was the first time someone had successfully received one of Cang Yuyue's swords without losing.
"This kid has such a strong defense!"
Ao Yuetian was slightly moved.
Compared to the Three Clan Party, Bei Moi's strength had risen to an unbelievable level.
If it was Zhao Feng, Ao Yuetian, or Xu Zixuan, it wouldn't have been easy to break through the Dark Water Barrier.
It was a pity that his opponent was Cang Yuyue.
Dark Water – Reverse Dragon Strike!
A dark blue ripple appeared around Bei Moi's body and a whirlpool of water appeared on his arm. It was like a dragon that smashed towards Cang Yuyue.
The power of such a shocking attack was truly frightening.
Even Ao Yuetian had to admit that the difference between him and Bei Moi had been reduced to the maximum. It was at least the same as when he was at the Three Clan Party.
Wave Breaking Cloud!
Cang Yuyue paused slightly before slashing out a second time. Instantly, the entire black sand platform seemed to be filled with the sound of waves breaking.
With the naked eye, one could only see a white light piercing through the sky. The defensive array on the black sand platform started to shake and some small cracks even appeared.
"Not good!"
The True Spirit Realm judge's expression changed slightly as he lightly exclaimed and sent a surge of Qi of True Spirit into the air, sealing the cracks in the array.
It was hard to imagine what kind of level that sword had reached when it sliced through the clouds and waves.
Plop!
Bei Moi had already fallen onto the ground with a sword mark that went from his forehead to his nose and then to his chest.
Cang Yuyue's clothes were spotless and her eyes were bright. She had crushed all the geniuses of the Thirteen Clans under her feet with just her sword.
The geniuses of the same era as her were all gloomy and sorrowful. They were all trampled under a woman's skirt.
"The power of this sword is …"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but take in a deep breath.
His left eye started to train, trying to see what would happen if he resisted this sword in his current state.
The result was that he would be instantly killed.
Of course, Zhao Feng also knew Cang Yuyue's weakness. Being a sword cultivator, she pursued offense and therefore her defense wasn't high.
However, Zhao Feng wasn't the only one who knew this. The Four Stars knew this as well.
Cang Yuyue herself definitely knew this as well.
But the problem was, who could block her sword?
One sword to destroy everything!
All methods were destroyed in front of her with one sword.
Cang Yuyue had held back just then or else Bei Moi would have been sliced in half already.
The rankings of Area 1 also came out.
First: Cang Yuyue
Second: Bei Moi
Third: Liu Qianlong
Liu Qianlong came from the same Clan as Cang Yuyue, the Cloud Sword Clan and was also a sword cultivator.
Bei Moi being able to barely beat Liu Qianlong was already an incredible achievement and this was also due to his powerful defense.
Once the opponent's defense was too strong, sword cultivators wouldn't be able to break through it and they weren't good at fighting long battles.
Next.
The rankings of Area 2 also came out.
First: Lin Tong
Second: Zhao Yufei
Third: Yan Chuan
Among them, Yan Chuan was also a dark horse in this banquet. He had defeated Yang Gan and other strong opponents, but he had narrowly lost to Zhao Yufei.
The last to finish was Area 4.
First was Ao Yuetian.
Second and third were the top ten experts of the older generation and they came from the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine respectively.
Up to this point.
The area battles ended.
All the disciples rested for the night and prepared for the finals the next day.
The finals was a moment that history was written and even the disciples that lost didn't want to miss it.
After the competition.
The Thirteen Clans tallied the disciples that made it into the finals:
Cloud Sword Clan: 3
Ancient Shrine: 2 people.
Broken Moon Clan: 2
Lin Moon Clan: 2
These four Clans had two or more disciples that made it into the finals, taking up more than half of the spots.
The Secluded Jade Palace and Mystic True Clan each had one spot.
The Cloud Sword Clan was indeed worthy of being the head of the Thirteen Clans.
However, compared to the previous finals, the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine's spots were slightly smaller.
This was because there were too many dark horses this time.
Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, Bei Moi, Yan Chuan and co. were the representatives of the Thirteen Clans and they didn't have much fame.
Amongst them, the Broken Moon Clan's performance was the most shocking.
This Clan that was at the bottom of the Thirteen Clans had two people that made it into the finals.
One of them had even replaced Xu Zixuan as the new Star of the Alliance with incredible strength and miracles at every step.
The upper echelon of the Broken Moon Clan had red faces.
The Alliance Banquet didn't just concern the glory of the Clan, it also concerned the distribution of benefits.
In the past, it was extremely hard for one person from the Broken Moon Clan to make it into the finals and they had to rely on luck.
At least in the past few Clans, no one had made it into the finals.
In the past, most of the spots were taken by the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine. It was hard for the other Clans to even get a spot, let alone a small Clan like the Broken Moon Clan.
"This Alliance Banquet has broken several hundred years of tradition. It can be said that there are many heroes fighting for supremacy."
Some of the older generation couldn't help but sigh.
The geniuses that were participating in the finals came from various Clans and there were many dark horses. There wasn't a single Clan that dominated.
The morning of the second day.
The finals had officially begun.
It was a new day, and all the representative disciples were in high spirits, raising their condition to its peak.
The four areas of the black sand array merged into one large arena - the Wind Cloud Arena!
The new arena was even bigger.
Twelve peerless geniuses came to the arena and sat down in their respective seats.
The other spectators watched from a distance. There were quite a few of them.
The Alliance Banquet that happened once every ten years would be recorded in the history books and would decide one's fate.
The Thirteen Clans and the nearby countries all had a small amount of people come to watch.
Although there wasn't an ocean of people, everyone present was either an elite of the younger generation or an expert of the older generation.
"Finals, first match: Cang Yuyue vs Qi Jiu."
There was a total of four judges at the True Spirit Realm standing at the four corners of the arena.
"I admit defeat."
The youth called Qi Jiu had a bitter expression as he admitted defeat. He and Cang Yuyue came from the same Clan.
The second match.
"Lin Tong vs Bei Moi."
Lin Tong, dressed in black, and Bei Moi, dressed in green and gold, stood a hundred yards away from each other.
Bei Moi wasn't someone who would admit defeat so easily. A pair of wings spread out from his clothes and the ripples on his arms turned into two snakes that coiled towards Lin Tong.
"Heavenly Absent Eye!"
Lin Tong's eyes seemed to turn into a bottomless abyss with a red light that seemed to be able to attract one's soul.
An unfathomable power spread across Heaven and Earth. At this moment, Lin Tong was like a king as he coldly glanced at Bei Moi.
Plop!
Bei Moi fell from midair with cold sweat all over his body. He was exhausted and his face was filled with fear: "How could this be …?"
Even when facing Cang Yuyue, he could still block one sword.
But facing Lin Tong, the latter had used his Heavenly Absent Eye and defeated him with just one glance.
Every time Lin Tong attacked, everyone's expressions would change.
Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian's eyes were filled with wariness.
Even someone as strong as Cang Yuyue was slightly moved.
In the Alliance Banquet, the two people that couldn't be defeated were Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong. They would either be insta-killed with one sword or insta-killed with one glance.
"Zhao Feng vs Yan Chuan."
It was soon Zhao Feng's turn.
It wasn't hard for the spectators to realise that the stronger ones were the first to go up.
"Hahaha … let me see how strong the new Star of the Alliance is."
Yan Chuan let out a wild laugh, and a layer of golden-bronze luster appeared on his body, followed by a layer of fiery patterns.
Of the Four Stars, he was respectful towards Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong, but he was wary of Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian.
However, Zhao Feng was a new Alliance Star, so he wasn't that afraid.
