The second battle of the second round was between Kong Zai and the 9th ranker of the Heaven Gate Lightning Pagoda. The 9th ranker was a woman at the early stage of the Creation Realm. The difference in strength between him and Kong Zai was too great. If Kong Zai had not shown mercy, he would probably have lost his life.
Ning Cheng naturally knew about Kong Zai's strength. Not to mention that Kong Zai was a Grand Ultimate Dao Integration Realm Dao Lord, even his strength when fighting against Mo Zhou was not something that ordinary Creation Realm cultivators could compare to.
Initially, Ning Cheng thought that the three most powerful people in this battle should be him, Kong Zai, and Mo Zhou. But since he and Kong Zai teamed up to force Mo Zhou to run away, there shouldn't be any suspense about first and second place.
However, after five rounds of fights, Ning Cheng realised just how wrong his thinking was. Ning Cheng was not the only powerhouse in the world. Kong Zai and Mo Zhou weren't the only powerhouses in this battle. In the third and fifth matches, Ning Cheng once again met two terrifying characters.
Shao Jing Qian was a contestant from the Three Elements Realm. He was at the peak of the Creation Realm. This person was ranked third in the Heavenly Gate Lightning Pagoda, but he had easily defeated his opponent, Wan Tai, who was ranked eighth in the Heavenly Gate Lightning Pagoda.
In the introduction, Xian Mao was a wandering cultivator. It's just that this person was even more terrifying. Ning Cheng suspected that this person was even stronger than Mo Zhou.
In the Heaven Gate Lightning Pagoda, Xian Mao was only ranked sixth, yet he had instantly killed Wu Leng, who was ranked fifth. This was the only one out of the five matches where the contestant had died.
In comparison, the Innocuous Realm's You Yunchen, who was ranked fifth in the Sky Gate Lightning Pagoda, had spent a lot of effort to defeat his opponent.
Shao Jing Qian was one thing, in Ning Cheng's view, this person was at most a character similar to Feng Xuan, although his strength was very strong, but it was not enough to pose a threat to him.
As for that Xian Mao, Ning Cheng felt a bit of fear in his heart. This person's skin was extremely white, and he looked very delicate. His magic treasure did not match his appearance. It was an Octagonal Cosmic Hammer. That hammer strike he used to kill his opponent easily tore apart his opponent's law domain before directly hammering him to death.
Since Ning Cheng's debut, he had seen more than one powerhouse who could destroy the Laws of Heaven and Earth with just a raise of their hand. Most of these cultivators had powerful Great Paths and could override the rules of heaven and earth in the space they were in. But this Xian Mao, Ning Cheng could only feel that his strength was just too formidable. He tore apart the Laws of Heaven and Earth around him, relying solely on his own strength.
Ning Cheng also secretly sighed in his heart. In the vast universe, he had no idea how many powerful people were hidden within. It was just that the universe was too big, so he didn't know about it before. Shao Jing Qian, Xian Mao, and Mo Zhou had come to this competition. How many other experts like these two had not come?
"Brother Ning, I feel that this person is somewhat familiar. He most likely participated in the first Good Fortune War, but I can't remember who he is. "Kong Zai looked at Xian Mao and cautiously whispered in Ning Cheng's ear.
Ning Cheng nodded, "I can also see it, the Cultivation Method he uses tends to be very powerful. I'm thinking, could he be cultivating in a strength-type cultivation technique? "
Kong Zai said without hesitation, "It must be a strength cultivation technique. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to shatter the laws of the Heaven and Earth with a single hammer strike. If I'm not wrong, that Octagonal Cosmic Hammer of his is something that ordinary people can't even lift. "
Ning Cheng slightly frowned, he had also come into contact with some of the Strength Cultivation Methods. His Law Breaking Finger actually had the shadow of a strength cultivation technique. It's just that he hadn't cultivated a strength cultivation technique. Moreover, his Law Breaking Finger was more inclined to his understanding and perception of the laws of heaven and earth.
If Xian Mao had only cultivated a branch of a strength cultivation technique, then it wouldn't have mattered. But if this person cultivated a complete strength cultivation technique, then maybe he would be another Xing Xi.
Dao Lord Gazing landed on the battle platform, and his gaze also vaguely swept over Kong Zai and Xian Mao. He already knew about Ning Cheng's strength. Kong Zai and Xian Mao's strength had completely exceeded his expectations. Neither of these two was any weaker than Ning Cheng.
Dao Lord Gazing quickly retracted his gaze and spoke with a clear voice, "Dao friends, the second round of the competition has ended. The top five are Grand Essence Realm's Ning Cheng and rogue cultivator Kong Zai. Kong Zai's original name was Extreme Book, but it has been changed. Three Essence Realm's Shao Jing Qian, Innocuous Realm's You Yunchen, and rogue cultivator Xian Mao. Now for the third round, the five of you will draw lots ….. "
After saying that, Dao Lord Gazing raised his hand and threw out five crystal balls wrapped in restrictions. Ning Cheng raised his hand and caught one of them. He had good luck against You Yunchen. Among the five, You Yunchen's strength should be the weakest. Kong Zai faced Shao Jing Qian. In Ning Cheng's opinion, Xian Mao, who was the strongest, had a bye.
In the first match of the third round, Ning Cheng faced You Yunchen. You Yunchen's dharma treasure was an Ink Dipper. When Ning Cheng saw this dharma treasure, he remembered Kong Zai's Human Sovereign Book and the mysterious long brush.
"Innocuous Realm's You Yunchen greets Dao Friend Ning. Please show mercy." After You Yunchen brought out the Ink Dipper, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he bowed and cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng.
Anyone who came to Heaven's Beyond earlier knew about the strength of Ning Cheng and the Sacred Dao Sect's Sect Master. You Yunchen naturally knew about it, even though he felt that he shouldn't be Ning Cheng's opponent. But now that he was in this place, he really couldn't accept it without a fight. If he defeated Ning Cheng, he would directly enter the top three.
Ning Cheng nodded and brought out the Creation Divine Spear before saying, "Let's do it."
"Good spear ….." After Ning Cheng brought out the Creation Divine Spear, Xian Mao's eyes lit up and he immediately praised it.
"Dao Friend Xian, why do you say that this is a good spear? Dao Friend Ning is clearly using a high-grade divine artifact, "Shao Jing Qian, who was standing next to Xian Mao, suddenly asked with a smile.
Xian Mao glanced at Shao Jing Qian coldly. "Who are you? Are you qualified to talk to me? You're just cultivating a small Dao. "
Shao Jing Qian's face turned cold. He wanted to make friends with Xian Mao because he saw that he was too powerful. He hadn't expected such a person to exist.
In the Dao world, one should not take the initiative to offend others if there was no conflict of interest. This Xian Mao was too arrogant. He had only asked a question, and he had been humiliated like this.
While the two of them were talking, Ning Cheng and You Yunchen had already started fighting. You Yunchen's Ink Dipper constantly drew out ink lines. Each ink line directly cut open the space and had nothing to do with the surroundings. However, Ning Cheng's spear pattern blocked the cut space unhurriedly. In the end, it actually formed pieces of spear pattern space.
The Dao runes on the competition stage surged. On the surface, it looked much more exciting than the fight between the top ten and the top five.
Only You Yunchen himself knew that not only was he not Ning Cheng's opponent, but he was also far from it. He indeed had a trump card that he hadn't used yet. But looking at Ning Cheng's appearance, he estimated that he hadn't even brought out a third of his strength. If he continued to fight, he would only be humiliating himself.
Thinking of this, You Yunchen's Ink Dipper's ink lines suddenly gathered and formed a large ink domain. He wanted to withdraw from the battle and admit defeat.
The instant his Ink Domain was formed, You Yunchen sensed that the ubiquitous spear patterns had disappeared. Even if he didn't form an ink domain, he could still retreat.
You Yunchen's face turned red. He knew that if Ning Cheng wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have been able to fight with the other party for so long. He estimated that he would have lost a long time ago. Ning Cheng knew that he wanted to retreat and took the initiative to stop attacking.
"Many thanks, Dao Friend Ning, for showing mercy. I've lost this fight." After You Yunchen finished speaking, he quickly withdrew from the battle stage.
At this moment, he somewhat admired Lin Qi. Taking the initiative to admit defeat gave him a bit more face than fighting.
"Ning Cheng wins the first round of the third round. The second round will be fought by Kong Zai against Shao Jing Qian."
As Dao Lord Mountain Gaze announced the start of the second round, Kong Zai and Shao Jing Qian were already standing in the middle of the battle stage.
Shao Jing Qian had just been humiliated by Xian Mao, so his expression was still a little ugly. At this moment, he didn't have a good expression when facing Kong Zai.
"Are you thinking of defeating me and then teaching Xian Mao a lesson?" Kong Zai looked at Shao Jing Qian and said with a smile. He had been listening to the conversation between Shao Jing Qian and Xian Mao.
"You're right. If you admit defeat, I'll have less strength." Shao Jing Qian had already regained his composure when he heard Kong Zai's words.
For many years, everyone who spoke to him had been very respectful. At this moment, he suddenly realized that someone who didn't take him seriously was a little out of sorts. He should have remembered that he had been respected in the Three Essence Realm. This was the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, where the peerless experts of this universe gathered. Since everyone was a peerless expert, why should he lose his composure when he was humiliated by others?
Shao Jing Qian took a deep breath and completely adjusted his mentality. Even his state of mind had improved slightly. Shao Jing Qian sighed. He wasn't happy because of this. Instead, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't be absolutely indifferent to praise and humiliation.
"Not bad. You adjusted your mentality very quickly. It seems like you don't care about what happened just now anymore. It's no wonder that you have such achievements. However, I want to tell you that you and Xian Mao are both wrong, "Kong Zai said unhurriedly.
Shao Jing Qian looked at Kong Zai in confusion. He knew that Kong Zai was very strong, but he didn't understand what Kong Zai meant.
Kong Zai said faintly, "In fact, Xian Mao didn't look down on you. Instead, he valued you very much. He didn't say you were anything, but he wanted to affect your state of mind. Although you've let go of your anger just now, you still desire to get rid of Xian Mao and take revenge. "
"You're saying that the reason Xian Mao said those words just now was to disturb my state of mind and make me want to kill him so that he can take advantage of me?" After Shao Jing Chien asked this question, he knew that Kong Zai was right. Xian Mao must have had such thoughts.
Kong Zai nodded. "Actually, Xian Mao probably regarded you as his strongest opponent. Therefore, when you asked that question, he tore a crack in your state of mind. On the surface, you don't seem to care about this matter anymore, but this crack is still there. "
"That's my fault. Xian Mao succeeded," Shao Jing Qian answered calmly.
Kong Zai shook his head. "He was wrong. Actually, his strongest opponent isn't you."
"You said that you will fight Xian Mao in the end?" After Shao Jing Qian asked this question, killing aura surrounded him and a huge mirror appeared above his head.
Kong Zai extended the long brush in his hand and drew waves of Dao rune fluctuations. However, he said, "It's not me either … Take a look at my One Stroke Painting Spring and Autumn first …"
