"Elder, I want to challenge the Fourth Prince, You Shuo!" The Kui Cow's two huge eyes looked towards the row of seats at the very front. The top five princes were all there.
"Haha, Kui Cow, I've wanted to fight you for a long time!"
The sound of laughter resounded through the clouds. The one who spoke was a five meter tall Death Spirit.
Thick black auras lingered on the surface of his body like spirit snakes. On his left chest, twenty-one heart hoops blossomed with a breathtaking blood-red luster. Almost at the same time his voice fell, his figure had already appeared in front of the Kui Cow, and a terrifying aura roared out from his body.
"Come!"
The Kui Cow grinned, and then let out an explosive roar. The muscles on its body bulged, and the boundless energy contained within its body seemed to be about to gush out. The thick long rod in its hand was also raised high up in the air, and smashed towards You Shuo with the force of a thunderbolt.
"Hu!"
Amidst the ear-piercing whistling sounds, an earth-shattering battle erupted.
Just as the battle between the Kui Cow and You Shuo began, the other princes began to challenge their higher ranked opponents one after another. Great battles erupted one after another.
In just a short span of ten breaths, there were eighteen battles going on at the same time in this wide plaza.
Compared to the nine spirits and Tang Huan who had challenged them before, the pressure on the princes who had challenged them now was much less. If they failed the challenge, they would not be eliminated like the first two rounds. They would only be ranked lower, but if they succeeded, their ranking would increase by a lot.
Because of this, in this round of challenges, many princes were happy to start a fight.
The nearly twenty battles caused the plaza to be filled with powerful Strength Qi s that were rolling about. Earth-shaking shouts and explosive sounds rose and fell one after another, as if they could tear apart a person's eardrums. Within a radius of several thousand meters, the air violently distorted and shook, and ripples that could be seen with the naked eye would appear from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan also secretly sighed in her heart.
The battles in this plaza were all between experts of the twenty-first step. The twenty-first step of the "Nether Death Realm" was equivalent to the tenth step of the Heaven Realm on the "Nether Life Domain" side.
Whether it was the human cultivators or the Undead Spirit Race, Tang Huan had come into contact with quite a few experts of the twenty-first step. She had even been chased by them at the peak of the Black Sword Mountain.
However, this was the first time Tang Huan had seen a battle between experts.
At the Kui Cow and You Shuo's level of cultivation, every move they made was earth-shattering and heaven-shaking, their might terrifying.
Although Tang Huan had become a prince just like them, if he were to really make a move, even if he were to return to his original form, without using the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram", he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single strike from the Kui Cow. Even if he used the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" to block it, he would still be heavily injured in an instant.
Tang Huan's gaze swept across the figures of the Kui Cow and the others, her eyes quietly narrowed, her mind slightly trembling.
The strength of an expert of the twenty-first step was already like this, not to mention the elders like Wu Yu and Kang Tai. As for the Eastern Emperor, who was above the elders, he was probably even stronger than before. Although he was wearing the skin of a sixteenth step undead, his true cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Sky Realm. He had to be even more careful in this "Nether Death Realm", otherwise, if he was exposed, not only would he suffer, he would also implicate the nine spirits.
"The Eighth Prince, the Kui Cow, has won and has been promoted to the Fourth Prince. The original Fourth Prince, You Shuo, has become the Eighth Prince!"
Wu Yu's voice suddenly woke Tang Huan, who was lost in her thoughts. Looking over, it was the Undead Spirit Expert of the twenty-first step called You Shuo who was slowly crawling up from the ground, his expression filled with frustration and helplessness. However, although he could still stand, he did not choose to continue fighting. On his left chest, the twenty-one heart rings flickered, and his body trembled slightly. It was likely that he had suffered quite a bit of injuries in this battle.
Following the victory of the Kui Cow, the outcome of the other battles was gradually decided.
The victor was overjoyed and could not hide his excitement, while the loser was dejected and depressed. Although defeat would not result in elimination, it meant that his ranking would drop, and the cultivation resources he could obtain would also decrease. However, in general, he was much luckier than the princes who were eliminated.
"This year's' Royal Spirit Ceremony 'has come to an end!"
"According to the rules, all princes can receive their respective rewards from the 'Royal Spirit Palace', and then enter the 'Royal Spirit Cave' to cultivate for ten days. Ninety-one to one hundred princes can cultivate on the first floor of the 'Royal Spirit Cave', and eighty-one to nine spirit names can cultivate on the second floor of the 'Royal Spirit Cave' … Eleven to twenty, enter the ninth floor of the 'Royal Spirit Cave', and one to ten, enter the tenth floor of the 'Royal Spirit Cave'!"
"Let's go!"
With that, Wu Yu waved his hand.
"Yes sir!"
More than ninety princes responded in unison.
At this moment, almost everyone's face revealed a hint of excitement. Even the Kui Cow, You Shuo, and the other princes who were ranked in the top ten were no exception.
Tang Huan was not as excited as them, but her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.
He had naturally heard of the Royal Spirit Cave before. It was located in the northwest of Dongming City, and it was located in the towering stone mountain behind the "Royal Spirit Hall".
After passing through the back door of the Royal Spirit Hall, one would be able to enter the Royal Spirit Cave.
The higher the level, the better the effect of cultivation.
Of course, even if a seventeenth step undead was allowed to enter the tenth floor of the "Royal Spirit Cave" as an exception, they would not be able to cultivate there, because they would not be able to withstand the impact of the power. However, no matter which floor they were on, the effect of cultivating for ten days was at least comparable to cultivating for a hundred days in the outside world.
The effects were even better, and they were even comparable to cultivating for two hundred days, or even three or four hundred days in the outside world.
Those who could reach that level were naturally only a small number of princes. However, even if it was only equivalent to a hundred days, it was still enough to cause many princes to flock to it like a flock of ducks. One had to know that the Royal Spirit Cave was usually not open, and would only be opened for ten days every time the "Royal Spirit Ceremony" was held.
Tang Huan was curious about this kind of cultivation place, but she did not take it to heart.
In the end, Tang Huan was not a real dead spirit, nor was she a nether beast like the Nine Spirits, the Kui Cow, and She Yuji that was born in the "Nether Death Realm". The power contained in the Royal Spirit Cave was probably the same as the death aura. Although Tang Huan could refine that kind of power, it was not very useful to raise her cultivation. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to release the power of the sucking to his heart's content like he did in other places.
After Wu Yu finished speaking, the curtains of the "Royal Spirit Ceremony" had completely fallen.
Around the plaza, countless creatures scattered in all directions. Clamorous noises rose up from all directions. Many of the princes were impatient as they rushed towards the northwest of the city in groups of two or three.
