In this round, Ye Xing's opponent was Le Xingwu, a Quasi-God Six Nirvana.
Quasi-God Six Nirvana was the highest level of cultivation among the core disciples. Of all the core disciples in the Dark Star Divine Hall, there were only six Quasi-Gods Six Nirvana.
In this battle, Ye Xing's arena was still the focus of everyone's attention.
In the previous battles, Ye Xing had won very easily and had not shown the limits of his strength.
But in this battle, his opponent was Le Xingwu, a Quasi-God Six Nirvana. Everyone guessed that Ye Xing would be in for a tough battle against such a powerful opponent, and the limits of his strength would be exposed.
Even so, it was still unknown whether Ye Xing could win this battle and enter the top eight.
Unfortunately …
Everyone's guess was once again completely wrong.
Ye Xing and Le Xingwu's battle was not as tough as they had expected. Ye Xing used the medial-quality Divine Weapon, the Azure Sandalwood Divine Bow, and used the Ashen Flame Void-Annihilating Arrow Art to break through Le Xingwu's attack with one arrow, break through Le Xingwu's defense with two arrows, and send Le Xingwu flying with the third arrow, spraying blood across the sky.
Ye Xing won, and easily at that, defeating his opponent with three arrows.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations, and they were all dumbfounded. Ye Xing's strength was not just on par with Quasi-God Six Nirvana, it was far superior.
High in the clouds, the Dark Star Emperor's expression turned unsightly.
He had organized the Strongest Core Disciple Competition not to know Ye Xing's strength, but Ye Xing's vitality.
However, the strength of one's vitality was not as easy to determine as one's cultivation. If the Dark Star Emperor wanted to know Ye Xing's vitality, he would have to see how Ye Xing recovered from his injuries.
Moreover, this was not something that could be determined by a small injury. It had to be a serious injury.
But up until now, Ye Xing had entered the top eight, and yet he had not been injured in the slightest.
Moreover, not only was he completely unscathed, but he had also completely crushed his opponents. Even Quasi God Six Nirvana opponents were no exception.
If Ye Xing hadn't been injured, this competition would have been held in vain. How could the Dark Star Emperor be happy?
Gao Man stood beside the Dark Star Emperor and knew what he was thinking just by looking at the Dark Star Emperor's expression.
Soon, the battles in the other arenas also ended. The top eight had been decided, and the inner court deacons quickly arranged the list of participants for the next round. Four more arenas were taken away.
In this round, Ye Xing's opponent was another Quasi-God of Sixth Nirvana. However, it was not one of the three people who were much stronger than ordinary Quasi-Gods of Sixth Nirvana, such as Xue Baotong, Gu Kaiyang, or Xu Tianyi.
The strength of the opponent in this round was about the same as Le Xingwu. Ye Xing used the Azure Sandalwood Divine Bow and executed the Grayflame Void Annihilation Arrow Technique, easily obtaining victory and entering the top four.
Xue Baotong, Gu Kaiyang, and Xu Tianyi were indeed geniuses who could fight above their level in the Quasi-God Realm. They also defeated their opponents and entered the top four.
The next round would be the semi-finals of the top four. Two more arenas were taken away.
"Arena Number One, Xue Baotong versus Xu Tianyi!"
"Arena Number Two, Ye Xing versus Gu Kaiyang!"
The inner court deacons quickly arranged the list of participants and announced it.
Xue Baotong glared at Ye Xing and entered Arena Number One with Xu Tianyi. Ye Xing also glanced at Xue Baotong and entered Arena Number Two with Gu Kaiyang.
Forty-five years ago, when Ye Xing broke through to the Nine Star King level and went to the Heavenly Bow Continent, he was intercepted by Xue Baotong and exposed his Supreme Astrology, which was discovered by the Dark Star Emperor.
This year's Strongest Core Disciple Competition was a rare opportunity to vent his anger on Xue Baotong, but he didn't encounter it. Even in the semi-finals of the top two, they were not assigned to the same arena. It was a pity.
Xue Baotong's mentality was similar. He was extremely confident in his own strength. Even if Ye Xing's performance was extremely heaven-defying, he still had enough confidence to defeat Ye Xing. He couldn't wait to enter the same arena with Ye Xing and beat Ye Xing up.
Both of them wanted to beat the other up, and this dream had come true.
In the semi-finals, Xue Baotong and Ye Xing both won.
Xue Baotong and Xu Tianyi's strength was similar. The two of them exchanged more than a hundred moves before Xue Baotong seized the opportunity to defeat Xu Tianyi.
Ye Xing and Gu Kaiyang's battle was about the same. Gu Kaiyang's strength was much stronger than Le Xingwu's. Ye Xing didn't use any new trump cards, still using the Azure Sandalwood Divine Bow, the Azure Flame Void Annihilation Arrow Art, and the Vermillion Astrology. Then, with the help of the Wind Shadow Divine Evasion Technique's speed, he defeated Gu Kaiyang with great difficulty.
Xue Baotong and Ye Xing both won with great difficulty. Everyone judged that their strength should be about the same. In this final battle, it wouldn't be easy to determine the winner.
However, the Dark Star Emperor was very clear in his heart. Ye Xing had the Supreme Astrology, but his true strength hadn't been revealed yet.
Although the Dark Star Emperor's expression was ugly, he wasn't completely helpless. He looked at Gao Man.
Gao Man received the signal and said loudly, "The Strongest Core Disciple Competition is about to usher in the final battle. The winner will be the strongest core disciple and will receive the Divine Emperor's Nirvana Divine Pill as a reward.
Such an important battle naturally can't be missed. The Divine Emperor has decided that the final battle will be held in two hours. In these two hours, the two of them will have a good rest, recover their energy, and face the final battle in their best condition.
Moreover, the final battle is related to the Nirvana Divine Pill and cannot be easily decided. The Divine Emperor has given special permission that the final battle can be held without any rules. It can be a life and death battle without any scruples. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The final battle could be held without any rules. It meant that even if one of them killed the other in the final battle, it would be under the Divine Emperor's orders and wouldn't be punished by the palace's rules.
Everyone could already smell the smoke of the final battle.
Hearing this, Xue Baotong's eyes lit up with joy. He had always wanted to kill Ye Xing. Now, with the Divine Emperor's order, he could finally kill Ye Xing in the competition. His heart was filled with joy.
As for Ye Xing, he was also filled with killing intent. Since the Dark Star Emperor had given the order, he didn't have any scruples. He could use this opportunity to take revenge.
After Gao Man gave the Divine Emperor's order, he disappeared.
Then, the inner court Elder Xue Yinan also disappeared from his seat.
Not long after, Gao Man returned to the Dark Star Emperor's side. Xue Baotong was summoned by Xue Yinan and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ye Xing frowned slightly, thinking that Xue Baotong would definitely play some tricks. He immediately activated his Void Piercing Divine Eyes and looked at Xue Yinan and Xue Baotong.
Xue Yinan first took out a high-grade divine weapon and gave it to Xue Baotong. Then, he took out a mid-grade divine armor and a short spear that shone brightly. It was a Divine Level forbidden weapon that contained terrifying power.
Xue Yinan said to Xue Baotong, "The Divine Emperor's order is for you to use the Chi Long Divine Armor to protect yourself. First, use the high-grade divine weapon to injure Ye Xing. If you can't, use the forbidden weapon, the Bloodthirsty Divine Spear. Do you remember?"
