In the void belt of the Star Domain, the Void Dragon Serpent's body had grown even larger. It was now more than three hundred thousand meters long. Its aura had also become more terrifying and shocking.
The one-million-meter sea of light had also changed greatly. It swept from bottom to top and finally shrank at the highest point, forming a huge inverted semicircle. Layers upon layers of waves were chilling as the cycle repeated. The scene inside couldn't be seen from the outside.
"I wonder how many people will be able to pass the test in the third-sequence void?" The Void Dragon Serpent's incomparably huge body was coiled up in the sky as it looked down.
…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Zong, Yu Wuxia, Xia Yingfei, and the other Yuan Underworld core disciples of the Will Sky Palace came out one by one. After half a year of seclusion, each of them had more or less improved and were in high spirits.
All the Yuan Underworld core disciples had gathered in the largest palace in the Will Sky Palace. In addition to these Yuan Underworld core disciples, many Dao Venerates had also gathered there.
"The unparalleled opportunity has arrived, but not everyone is qualified to participate in the test." The Great Heart Elephant Venerable stood at the top of the Will Sky Palace and looked down in all directions. He was the Palace Master of the Will Sky Palace and one of the top Dao Venerates in the Will Sky Palace. His combat strength was extremely strong and was rumored to be on par with the Wholehearted Dao Venerable.
The other four Palace Masters were scattered on the left and right sides.
The other Dao Venerates were also scattered around. Such a large lineup was astonishing. The Will Sky Palace didn't have so many Dao Venerates present except for the Third Dao Disciple Ceremony.
The Will Sky Palace was the first palace of the Will Sky Palace. It was the first palace and also the most orthodox palace. All important matters would be carried out there.
The Yuan Underworld core disciples' breathing quickened when they heard the Great Heart Elephant Venerable's words.
Unparalleled opportunity!
They had been in seclusion for half a year and had specially returned from the northern battlefront and other places just for this unparalleled opportunity that the Dao Venerates were talking about.
How could they miss such an opportunity?
Although everyone was excited, they also heard the Great Heart Elephant Venerable's words. Not everyone was qualified to participate.
Of course, everyone could understand.
Only a small number of people would be able to obtain a fortuitous encounter when it appeared. This was the same for unparalleled fortuitous encounters. It couldn't be more normal.
"This opportunity isn't exclusive to the Will Sky Palace. It is targeted at all Yuan Underworld elites in the void." Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard the Great Heart Elephant Venerate's second sentence.
It targeted all the Yuanming prodigies in the void!
The entire void was so vast. How many Yuan Underworld cultivators were there?
He really hadn't counted it, but it was definitely a lot.
Even if a portion of them was eliminated, there was still a lot of them. Furthermore, there were also many Yuan Underworld geniuses. This meant that the competition would be very, very big. They would have to face all the geniuses in the entire void.
There were four sacred lands, many cosmic realm state forces, and even some cosmic system states and solo prodigies.
Hundred Vying Barges!
Some people frowned, because the pressure was too great, and they might not be able to win. There were also some whose faces were full of excitement, because they could compete with even more geniuses.
There were all kinds of people and all kinds of people had different personalities.
"Due to many reasons, the number of people participating in the test is limited. The four sacred lands will each get 10 spots. In other words, the Will Sky Palace will only get 10 out of the 1,000 Yuan Underworld elites." The Great Heart Elephant Venerate's words shocked all the Yuan Underworld elites.
Although there were less than 1,000 Yuan Underworld elites present, there were still more than 700 of them. Choosing 10 out of 700 was indeed a cruel thing to do.
"The third Dao Disciple, Chen Zong, does not need to be selected. He will directly obtain a spot. The remaining nine spots will be up to you all to compete," the Great Heart Elephant Venerate said.
Chen Zong was slightly surprised. He hadn't been able to compete and had directly obtained a spot.
However, when he thought about it, this was very normal. After all, in terms of combat strength, he could kill a one-star Divine Power Realm elite if he used his full strength. It wouldn't be impossible for him to contend with a two-star Divine Power Realm elite. Although there were some Yuan Underworld elites present who had very strong combat strength, they couldn't reach the Divine Power Realm.
It could be said that Chen Zong was already on a completely different level from them.
The third Dao Disciple had displayed his might on the northern battlefront and his cultivation base had also reached the perfected Yuan Underworld. In any case, Chen Zong's combat strength was at the peak of the Yuan Underworld. Thus, no one had any objections to him obtaining one of the 10 spots.
With one less spot, the competition for the remaining nine spots became even more intense.
The most direct method was to fight.
In a one-on-one battle, the winner would advance and the loser would be eliminated. There was no luck involved.
The third true disciple of the One Heart Palace, Yu Wuxia, erupted with an astonishing battle prowess. Her pair of iron fists were extremely violent, and her pair of slender legs were also filled with incomparable violent might. Those who fought against her were all defeated by her extremely violent attacks, as if they were dried weeds and smashed rotten wood.
Chen Zong discovered that although Yu Wuxia's combat strength hadn't reached the 12-star level of the Ultra Boundary, it was very close. An ordinary peak 11-star was no longer a match for her.
However, in addition to Yu Wuxia, Chen Zong also unexpectedly discovered that someone's combat power had surpassed the level of the eleven-star level. Someone who had truly reached the twelve-star level referred to the conventional combat power, and that was the combat power without using any secret techniques.
This person had been mingling in the northern battlefront all year round. His name was Meng Yuan, and it was in the past six months that he had finally broken through the limits of his combat strength and entered the Ultra Boundary.
Battle, battle, battle. Battle after battle, the winner would advance and the loser would be eliminated. There was no pause.
Yu Wuxia won one battle after another. She was also very lucky that she didn't encounter Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan, who had the combat strength of a Ultra Boundary, defeated his opponents like a hot knife through butter and advanced continuously.
It was very difficult to attain the combat strength of the 12-star level. There had been countless geniuses since ancient times, but very few had been able to reach the 12-star level.
Although the Will Heavenly Palace was the number one sacred ground, there were very few true disciples who could attain the combat strength of the 12-star level.
For example, there were currently only two in the Path Manipulation Realm. Of course, there were still other disciples who hadn't fully matured and had some hope of breaking through the limits and advancing to the Ultra Boundary in the future.
As for the Yuan Underworld Realm, there were currently two. One was Chen Zong, and the other was Meng Yuan. As for Yu Wuxia, there was still some hope that she could break through, but the success rate was uncertain.
As for the other geniuses, of course, there were also a few who had hope, but that was all there was to it.
The combat strength of the Ultra Boundary was a kind of sublimation. It wasn't something that could be achieved just by talent alone. There were also many factors that combined to create it.
For example, the northern battlefront was extremely fierce, and life and death battles were endless. However, there were only a few battlefronts that had 12-star combat strength. Most of the battlefronts didn't have any, which showed how rare the combat strength of the Ultra Boundary was.
One after another, extremely fierce battles took place. Some of them even made Chen Zong feel that it was very exciting.
It should be known that Chen Zong's current combat strength was no longer on the same level as them. Those that could make him feel excited were very extraordinary.
When the last battle ended, the dust settled, and the nine spots were thus decided. In addition to Chen Zong, who had already obtained a spot, there were a total of ten spots.
Of these ten, seven were men and three were women. They were Chen Zong, Meng Yuan, Yu Wuxia, Liu Liyang, Zhou Huang, Sun Fengqiu, Luo Yunruo, Zhang Zhenzhong, Xu Xing, and Xu Chen.
Chen Zong and Meng Yuan's combat strength was at the Ultra Boundary level, while the remaining eight were at the peak of the 11-star level.
Such a lineup was quite astonishing.
"The ten spots have been decided. You have half a month to prepare well and adjust yourselves to the best state." The Great Heart Elephant Venerable said, "Half a month later, we will set off on time. Any questions?"
"Venerable One, may I ask where we will be going in half a month?" Meng Yuan immediately asked.
"No need to rush. You will know when the time comes." The Great Heart Elephant Venerable looked at Meng Yuan and smiled.
The Great Heart Elephant Venerable had an impression of Meng Yuan because he was a true disciple of the Palace of Will. His talent was not the best, but he was very hardworking. His degree of effort far surpassed that of others.
In order to train himself, he stayed at the northern battlefront for a hundred years. Through the life-and-death battles with the Barbarian Tribe, he stimulated his potential and crazily trained himself.
Originally, according to his talent, it was very difficult for him to break through to the Ultra Boundary level. After all, he did not reach it when he was in the Path Manipulation Realm. Although it was said that the Ultra Boundary level did not depend entirely on talent, if one did not have enough talent, it would be an extravagant hope.
He did not expect Meng Yuan to be able to break through the shackles and reach the Ultra Boundary level. He could not help but be looked at in a different light. Because of this, the Great Heart Elephant Venerable's attitude towards him was relatively more amiable.
"Let's go. Cultivate well." The Great Heart Elephant Venerable said in the end. He turned around and seemed to disappear.
Everyone also left. Those who got a slot were, of course, happy. Those who did not get a slot were inevitably disappointed. This was unavoidable.
Opportunities were always prepared for a small number of people. Only a small number of people were qualified to enjoy them.
At the end of the day, it was still necessary to improve oneself as much as possible and become stronger. Only then would one be qualified to fight for opportunities.
Otherwise, when a fortuitous encounter arrived, yet they missed it due to their lack of strength, that would cause them to beat their chests and stamp their feet with extreme heartache.
"Chen Daozi, please fight with me." Meng Yuan stopped Chen Zong. His eyes flickered with a sharp light. His tone was also full of astonishing fighting spirit.
In order to improve himself, he fought crazily, putting himself on the edge of life and death. When he was at the northern battlefront, he had heard of Chen Zong's fame, but he had never had the chance. Now, Chen Zong was in front of him. This was his chance.
Fight!
The others who were about to leave stopped. They were very interested and looked forward to this battle.
"You are no match for me." Chen Zong shook his head slightly. It was not that he looked down on Meng Yuan, but when Meng Yuan fought before, Chen Zong roughly estimated the level of Meng Yuan's combat strength. Meng Yuan was indeed very good, but compared to himself, it was still not enough, even if he did not use the Sword World.
Once he used the Sword World, it would be easy to destroy.
