Rumble rumble rumble …
Along with a series of loud noises, ten spacious arenas rose from the ground. Every arena was roughly the size of a football field and was surrounded by a thin barrier. In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire space boiled.
If one wanted to challenge someone, they would have to first request a challenge from the Pagoda Master. Only after obtaining his approval could they proceed to the arena.
This kind of challenge would generally be accepted. Even if it was a challenge against the first race, it would still be acknowledged. However, one had to act according to one's own strength. If one challenged the first race, they would have to risk offending the first race.
Not long after, the ten arenas were occupied by people. In each arena, there were two people fighting. Both parties had brought out their trump cards and were fighting with all their might. Without holding anything back, they wanted to kill the other party.
There was no doubt that the races that moved faster had always had enmity with each other, and were even in a state of war. That was why there was such a bloody scene.
Seeing this, the white-haired old man on the high platform sighed deeply in the depths of his eyes. However, due to the rules, he did not step in to stop them. Unless one side surrendered, he would drag the person who surrendered out of the arena.
Since the arenas were already full, they naturally had to wait. However, ten arenas could allow ten races to compete at the same time. This speed was still very fast.
At this level, the outcome of the fight would be decided in an instant. If there was an expert who could suppress the situation, then the challenge would come to an end.
"Next, arena number six."
After Dongfang Zheng returned, he announced the number of the arena.
Although there would always be races challenging the top ten, the Mandrill Flame Clan, which was in the top six, was rarely challenged.
It was easy to imagine how the Mandrill Flame Clan felt after being challenged by the Human Race.
However, perhaps they had been waiting for this day. Perhaps they had taken a step back in the Hundred Race Pagoda because they wanted the Human Race to underestimate their strength, so that they could massacre the Human Race under everyone's gazes.
That was a possibility. However, there was no surprise on Gongsun Jing's face. Evidently, he had already expected this.
Therefore, his suggestion was to take whatever they could and preserve their strength.
There was no doubt that regardless of the outcome of the challenge, the Mang Flame Clan and the Wizard Spirit Clan would attack the Human Race after the Hundred Clan Grand Competition.
Otherwise, they would lose all their prestige.
"Sigh, such a good arena, but I, Old Dragon, can only watch from below. What a pity …"
Looking left and right, Long Yue Guan realised that everyone standing on the stage was in the pinnacle of the Saint Realm, so he instantly muttered in a dejected manner.
As someone who loved to fight, how could his blood not boil when he saw such a scene? However, under Liu Canyan's encouragement, he gradually gained self-awareness. He was also very clear that with his current cultivation, going up to challenge them was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.
Feng Hao rolled his eyes at him. After sweeping his gaze across the sixth arena, his gaze landed on Xue Yan. When he saw that there was still a layer of melancholy between her brows, he couldn't help but frown.
As if feeling his gaze, Xue Yan turned her head. There wasn't a hint of a smile on her snow-white face, and there was even a hint of deep worry in her eyes.
"Miss Xue Yan, did something happen?"
Seeing that Xue Yan was like this, Feng Hao couldn't help but ask, causing everyone's gaze to fall on her. Instantly, everyone was stunned.
It seemed that ever since she divined Feng Hao's fortune two days ago, she had been like this, as if she was worried that something big was about to happen.
Xue Yan wanted to say that it was nothing and that she didn't want everyone to share her burden, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Big Brother Feng, do you think that the Pagoda Master's words are ridiculous?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Yan finally opened her mouth and asked Feng Hao.
"This …"
Hearing this, Feng Hao was also stunned. Looking at her, he couldn't find the slightest hint of joking on her face. His heart couldn't help but tremble.
If the white-haired old man's words were true, didn't that mean that the existences of the Ancient Era, which were akin to world-destroying demons, hadn't been wiped out, and one day, they would make a comeback?
If such a thing really happened, then it would bring a devastating disaster to the entire world.
Just the thought of it was terrifying. Back then, the sages of the Ancient Era were all extremely powerful, like gods. However, in the great battle against the world-destroying demons, they all fell. If the darkest period of the Ancient Era were to happen again, then who would be able to stop those world-destroying demons?
Having more people might be an advantage at times, but when the difference in strength was too great, it would be useless.
"Perhaps it's true."
Feng Hao muttered. When he looked at the high platform, he discovered that the white-haired old man was also looking at him. Instantly, he couldn't help but be startled.
However, the old man didn't reveal any expression on his face. He calmly shifted his gaze and swept his gaze across the crowd.
"That old thing is peeping at you."
The little ball in his arms reminded him. A head popped out from his collar, its gem-like eyes staring at the white-haired old man on the high platform in the distance. It seemed to be on guard.
"How is that possible? In the legends, the ancient gods descended with boundless divine power and expelled the evil demons … uh …"
Long Yue Guan shouted, reciting the ballad that existed in his mind. However, after just one line, he directly stopped with a stunned expression.
It seemed that even in the legends, the ancient gods didn't exterminate the demons. It seemed that they had only expelled them.
Everything was to remind the future generations to be vigilant, but now, it was basically misinterpreted as extermination.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay. An ominous premonition surged in their hearts.
All the books, all the legends, and even all the classic stories pointed out that the demons hadn't been exterminated and that the future generations needed to be vigilant.
However, after experiencing too many years of peace, this had already become a legend, a joke after tea.
Perhaps, in the near future, when darkness truly descended, everyone would realize that when they treated the warnings of their predecessors as a joke, they themselves had become a joke.
"Sigh …"
