On the 28th day, there were only two days left until the end of the competition.
There were more people outside the Xuantian Primordial Chaos Formation. There were not many of them, just a little over 200. These 200 or so people were the peerless prodigies who had participated in the competition in the Xuantian Primordial Chaos Formation. They had been killed many times and were eliminated after exhausting their number of deaths.
Since they were eliminated, they naturally could not continue to stay in the Xuantian Primordial Chaos Formation and had no chance to compete with the other peerless prodigies.
Inside the Xuantian Primordial Chaos Formation, there was a dense forest with towering trees. Each tree was extremely huge and stood tall on the ground. They were so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around them.
However, at this moment, a large number of trees had collapsed and shattered, and the ground was covered with countless cracks and holes. It was a shocking sight.
A figure stood in the middle of it, and his body was emitting an extremely shocking aura fluctuation. He was like a divine sword that pointed straight to the sky.
Chen Zong!
After a fierce battle, Chen Zong had once again exhausted all the power of the Exploding Yuan Heavenly Pearl. He had exhausted all his means and finally killed his opponent. He was also almost exhausted.
Now, the number of deaths had accumulated to 43. However, it should be 45. Chen Zong had died twice.
The first time he died, he dropped the low-tier secret treasure, the Swift Combat Shoes.
The second time he died, he was not so lucky. He dropped the mid-tier secret treasure, the Silver Light Arm.
However, Chen Zong was lucky enough to obtain the second high-tier secret treasure.
That high-tier secret treasure was a permanent enhancement secret treasure that could permanently double one's speed.
This doubled speed not only increased the speed of the sword, but also the speed of the movement technique. Its effect was much better than the Silver Light Arm.
"It's almost over." Chen Zong looked at the sky and tried his best to adjust his breathing and his essence, energy, and spirit. He quickly absorbed the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth from all directions to constantly replenish the energy he had consumed. He also replenished the energy consumed by the Exploding Yuan Heavenly Pearl.
Outside the Xuantian Primordial Chaos Formation, many people were guessing which ten would obtain the final spot. They had basically come to a conclusion.
After nearly a month of life and death battles, they were all in high-intensity battles and were extremely nervous.
The twenty-ninth day.
On this day, Chen Zong fought three battles. He won two of them, but lost the last one. His opponent was too strong. He had three high-grade artifacts, and his cultivation base was at the early Sixth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
After losing the battle, Chen Zong lost his low-level secret treasure, the Energy Gathering Pearl.
Although the effect of the Elemental Gathering Pearl was not bad, it was actually quite ordinary and did not help Chen Zong significantly. Therefore, losing the Elemental Gathering Pearl did not affect his strength at all.
As for those who obtained the Elemental Gathering Pearl, their strength did not increase by much.
Day 30!
Everyone knew that this was the last day. Thus, the battles on this day became even more intense.
Apart from themselves, no one knew how many times others had died. They were all trying their best to kill others and gain more deaths.
If you don't go crazy, you won't survive!
This time, Chen Zong's luck seemed to be worse. He died once again. Moreover, he lost his high-grade artifact, the Energy Burst Heavenly Pearl.
Losing the Energy Burst Heavenly Pearl also caused Chen Zong to lose the qualification to compete with the top few people. This made Chen Zong's heart sink. He did not know if he would be able to obtain a spot in the end.
However, no matter the result, he had to fight with all his might. He had to give up on all his worries. Only then would he have any hope of obtaining a spot.
Time … was up!
The battle had finally ended. Everyone, no matter what they were doing, was suppressed by a force. They could not move at all, but their minds were still clear.
A majestic voice rang out, resounding through the entire formation. Even the people outside the formation could hear it.
"Two hundred and eighty people. After thirty days of fighting, there are only fifteen people left."
Everyone became nervous.
Fifteen people!
However, there were only ten spots.
This meant that five out of the fifteen people would be eliminated.
The number of deaths!
It was based on the number of deaths an individual had.
Chen Zong was slightly nervous. He did not know if he would be able to obtain a spot in the top ten with the number of deaths he had.
Wei Changtian, 63 deaths.
Xia Mingjie, 61 deaths.
Xi Yuliu, 60 deaths.
Qiao Yu, 60 deaths.
Zi Tianluo, 59 deaths.
Wu Shier, 58 deaths.
Luo Kongzi, 56 deaths.
Xiong Lei, 55 deaths.
Jing Xiao had died fifty-five times.
Thus, nine names had been read out. Chen Zong's heart sank. According to this situation, he did not seem to have any hope of obtaining a spot in the top ten.
However, there was still a glimmer of hope. After all, he had died more than fifty times.
Soon after, the vast and mighty voice announced the tenth name.
Wu Zhongyuan, 53 deaths.
Chen Zong fell silent. He had died fifty-two times. There was only one difference.
For a moment, no matter how strong Chen Zong's will was, he could not help but feel empty. Then, Chen Zong exhaled heavily. He was relieved.
He had done his best in this competition. Other than the Asura doppelganger, he had used everything he had. In the end, he still fell short. There was nothing he could do.
However, overall, he had gained a lot.
Even though those secret treasures belonged to this formation and were condensed from the power of the formation, so they couldn't be taken out, but their cultivation, martial techniques, and Dao Insights had improved greatly.
It was a pity that he could not continue to compete with the other peerless geniuses to train himself.
More importantly, he was not fated to enter the Lingwu Sacred Land.
Zi Tianluo was the only one in the entire Divine Black Army who had obtained a spot. After all, Zi Tianluo's cultivation base was at the peak of the Fifth Level Saint Realm.
Moreover, Xiong Lei was the peerless genius of the Divine Black Army.
Out of the ten spots, the Divine Black Army had two while the other eight armies had one each.
As for Xu Mubai and Chu Zhong Yang, although they were peerless geniuses, their cultivation base was not enough. Their Fourth Level Saint Realm cultivation base was their shortcoming. Therefore, they were not fated to enter the ten spots.
The competition had ended and the dust had settled. Now, all that was left was for the peerless geniuses like Zhen Yuan Wei to represent the Mystic Dynasty and compete with the peerless geniuses from the Black Absolute Palace and Dustless Hall for a spot.
Chen Zong returned to the Blood Soaring Branch of the Divine Black Army.
"What a pity." The Flame Demon sighed.
"I'll go into seclusion first. I've gained a lot from this battle." Chen Zong smiled. He was relieved.
Chen Zong entered seclusion. The competition no longer had anything to do with him. However, he could still continue to improve himself.
Heart Sword Dao Intent, Fourth Revolution!
Earth Fire Dao Intent, Fifth Revolution!
Hurricane Dao Intent, Fifth Revolution!
Lightning Dao Intent, Fourth Revolution!
His cultivation base was at the late-stage Fourth Heaven Saint Realm!
Twenty-first level of the Grand Mystic Formula!
Chen Zong even had a feeling that if he was able to completely fuse the Heavenblaze Earthly Flames and Citadel Ravaging, then perhaps he would be able to truly fuse the Earthly Flames Dao Insight with the Hurricane Dao Insight and become a true fused Dao Insight, and not the shallow and rough fusion that stopped at the surface when it was a Half-step Dao Insight.
At that time, even if his cultivation base did not improve, his strength would skyrocket.
However, Chen Zong was also very clear about how difficult it was to fully integrate the Heaven Burning Earth Fire and the City Wrecking Hurricane Dao Intent.
Even so, Chen Zong would not cower in the slightest.
He pressed forward courageously like the edge of a sword.
Time passed by slowly. The potential that had been stimulated during the month of competition gradually transformed into strength.
In the cultivation room.
His Heart Domain covered an area of five hundred meters.
That's right, five hundred meters.
During this competition, Chen Zong had continuously used his Heart Domain to improve.
The Origin Energy of Fire and Origin Energy of Wind within the five hundred meter radius of his Heart Domain were instantly condensed by Chen Zong. The blazing Origin Energy of Fire burned like a raging inferno while the violent Origin Energy of Wind swept out endlessly.
Heaven Burning Earth Fire!
City Wrecking Hurricane Dao Intent!
The two swords were executed at practically the same time. They transformed into an extremely terrifying flaming tornado that swept out with a loud rumble. It destroyed everything in its path.
Rumble!
The entire cultivation room trembled as if it was about to shatter.
Sixty percent!
After more than ten days of seclusion, Chen Zong had further improved the fusion of the two moves to 60 percent.
The might of a 60 percent fusion had increased by more than 30 percent compared to a 50 percent fusion.
On the other hand, the Great Profundity Art had also improved to the twenty-second level. His Saint Energy had become even more powerful.
All in all, compared to the battle in the Xuantian Chaos Formation more than ten days ago, his strength had improved by quite a bit. If he had such strength back then, he might have been able to get one of the ten places.
With this thought in mind, Chen Zongwei smiled. He didn't think too much about it, because it had already happened, and it was in the past. It was meaningless to think about it and make assumptions. It would only disturb his mind and interfere with his cultivation.
What surprised Chen Zong was that he had been summoned by the Killer Master less than a day after he came out of seclusion.
Chen Zong was very puzzled, but he still went forward.
"Greetings, Killer Master." Chen Zong bowed out of respect for the strong.
This time, Chen Zong also realized that no one else had been summoned except for him.
The Killer Master did not speak. He stared at Chen Zong through the mask, giving Chen Zong a lot of pressure.
After a few breaths, Chen Zong was still calm when the Killer Master spoke.
"I've summoned you here to give you a choice." The Killer Master's voice overlapped. It was still so mysterious that it was difficult to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman. "One of the ten places, Luo Kongzi, put himself in a desperate situation to make a breakthrough. However, he encountered an accident and was besieged by the Void Demons and died in battle."
Chen Zong was stunned when he heard this. Then, a thought occurred to him. Luo Kongzi's death meant that one of the ten places was missing.
So, the Killer Master summoned him this time because of one of the empty places?
"It seems that you've guessed it." The Killer Master spoke again. "There's a vacancy, and one of the other five will be chosen to fill it."
The other five referred to the 15 people who had stayed in the Xuantian Chaos Formation that day. They had not been eliminated but had not been selected because they had died fewer times than the other ten.
Now, these five people had been given a chance.
"Your choice is to compete with the other four for a place again," the Killer Master asked directly.
"Yes." Chen Zong's answer was very simple and direct.
