After the Sky Bearing Sacrificial Ceremony started, the Qilin Race went up to the stage to give a speech. Following which, they began to distribute the participants according to their previous rankings. If any of the races wanted to challenge the previous rankings, they could do so on the spot.
The original order was the Qilin Race, Lion Race, Tiger Race, and Iron Eating Beast Race. Every race was ranked according to the number of Grade 9 Demon Venerables in their race. Since the Qilin Race had three Grade 9 Demon Venerables, they naturally had the right to speak. As for the Lion Race, only Hou Yuan was participating in the ceremony. This caused those Demon Cultivators who understood the situation to think about it.
The internal strife of the Lion Race was definitely not a groundless matter. While Hou Tian's return to the Lion Race was not made public, the Qilin son Guo Rui was at least aware of it. Now that he saw such a situation, he naturally could not say anything. However, he was still thinking about Hou Yuan in his heart.
Among the large races, only the Iron Eating Beast Race had an additional Grade 9 Demon Venerables. As such, they definitely had the right to speak. Furthermore, under the negotiations of the various large races, it seemed as though they wanted to raise the status of the Iron Eating Beast Race. At the same time, they would be able to obtain an additional portion of the Sweet Jade Dew.
However, Yi Tian sat on the viewing platform and swept his gaze across. He realized that the King Kong Demonic Ape Race's patriarch was also unwilling to be excluded from the large races. He personally came out to negotiate with the representatives of the various large races. From the looks of it, he wanted to obtain a position in the distribution.
This was also not surprising. As this concerned the grand plan of their race, every inch of land had to be fought for. No one wanted to be at a disadvantage in this aspect. The result would be that the strength of the next generation of the race would drop by a level after a thousand years. As such, the chain reaction that would occur was something that these large races would not be able to bear.
Very quickly, the results of the negotiations were out. Those Demon Venerables who were already famous a thousand years ago would naturally not change their positions. This time, Guo Rui from the Qilin Race, Xiong Erbao from the Iron Eating Beast Race, and the Berserk Demonic Ape from the King Kong Demonic Ape Race would be able to choose the person in front to fight. The winner would be able to occupy the opponent's position, and the loser would be pushed back by one position.
This arrangement was also extremely reasonable. Very quickly, the Qilin son Guo Rui stepped out to be the first challenger. With his identity as a member of the Kylin Clan, he naturally wouldn't find trouble with his fellow clansmen. Therefore, Hou Yuan, who was ranked third, would definitely become his target.
However, the outcome of a battle between a LV 9 middle rank and a LV 10 early rank was self-evident. Moreover, Yi Tian was clear about Hou Yuan's current situation. Although he had solved the hidden danger of Hou Tian, it was impossible to say that Hou Yuan had not paid a price.
However, since they were being challenged, they had to fight even if they knew they were no match for the opponent. The two Demon Venerables flew into the air and attacked at the same time. Hou Yuan pushed both of his hands in front of his chest, gathering a huge ball of light and throwing it at the opponent.
Qilin's son Guo Rui had a disdainful look on his face. He just stretched out his hand and gathered two red halos to form a protective net not far in front of him. With a 'puchi' sound, Hou Yuan's cultivation method fell into the protective net. There was no reaction at all as expected.
Then, Guo Rui retracted his ten fingers and gathered the defensive net, neutralizing Hou Yuan's move. This display of power naturally intimidated the cultivators who had come to watch the ceremony.
Even Yi Tian was making a comparison in his heart. He immediately thought to himself, 'It's really powerful. No wonder that old monster Hou Tian was so afraid of the Qilin son. This move alone has already surpassed the strength of most of the Demon Venerables present. I'm afraid even I might not be able to take a move from Hou Yuan so easily. '
Just as he was thinking, the situation on the stage changed. Hou Yuan seemed to have seen through the opponent's strength and immediately cupped his hands to admit defeat. Obviously, Guo Rui was stronger than him. If Guo Rui used his trump card, they could be evenly matched. However, everyone had their own trump card. Hou Yuan didn't know Guo Rui's trump card and didn't want to dwell on it. After all, Guo Rui's strength was obvious. There was no need to continue wasting time.
After the two Demon Venerables were defeated, the ranking naturally changed. The Qilin's son Guo Rui's branch clan was ranked third. At the same time, they could occupy a higher position in the distribution.
As for Xiong Erbao, he represented the Iron-Eating Beast Clan. Originally, his clan was ranked behind the Tiger Clan. If he wanted to challenge, he naturally had to look for the two clans in front. Just now, the Lion Clan's Hou Yuan had made a move. If he were to choose him now, he would be accused of taking advantage of the situation.
Thus, challenging the Tiger Clan naturally became a matter of course. Xiong Erbao stood up and lowered his head to communicate with the Tiger Clan. Soon after, two streaks of spirit light flew out from their respective camps and into the sky.
Although the two Demon Venerables had crossed paths during the ambush against Hou Tian, they were still on the same side. However, today was different. Everyone was fighting for their respective clans. Naturally, they wouldn't be careless.
Moreover, the two Demon Venerables had seen each other's moves and already had a plan in mind. Yi Tian sat on the viewing platform and silently watched the situation develop in the sky. He couldn't help but cheer for Xiong Erbao. With his strength being on par with his opponent and having stayed by his side for so many years, he should have seen and heard many things. In such a situation, he shouldn't just use brute force to resolve it.
After three breaths of time, several gusts of wind blew in the sky above the Sky Bearing Sacrificial Ceremony. Xiong Erbao stretched out his hands and condensed two streaks of spirit light, one black and one white. They then merged together to form a Tai Chi diagram. On the opposite side, the Tiger Clan revealed an unprecedentedly serious expression. This wasn't the first time he had seen such a move. He naturally knew how powerful it was and didn't hold back from the start. Using all of his moves was something that the two Demon Venerables had agreed on.
If a Class 9 Demon Venerable were to fight a battle of attrition, it wouldn't be a problem for them to drag it out for half a month. However, the current situation didn't allow them to do so. Thus, when Xiong Erbao proposed to end the battle in three moves, the Tiger Clan naturally had no reason to refuse.
Seeing his opponent make a move, an illusory image slowly appeared behind the Tiger Clan. It was the image of the king of all Demon Venerables. The aura on his body also surged, not restraining it at all.
His lack of apprehension caused the Demon Venerables below to complain. This aura had no effect on Demon Venerables, but it was extremely oppressive for Demon Venerables and below. Even the Demon Venerables and Demon Venerables who came to watch the ceremony were affected.
Apart from the Mythical Fire Palace's Han Liu who could protect the two people beside him, the others could only open their barriers to resist the pressure. Suddenly, a golden light flashed from the viewing platform and swept past the Demon Venerables on the viewing platform. The pressure on them was instantly reduced, and the pressure on them was immediately removed.
Following which, the golden light swept past the Demon Venerables, reducing the influence of the king of all Demon Venerables on them. Many Demon Venerables hurriedly turned around to check the source of the golden light. They discovered that it was coming from the area where the Great Lightning Temple's monks were seated. A dignified chanting of sutras could be heard continuously, helping them to dispel the pressure on them.
Among the Demon Venerables, Qing Lianyun from the Taiqing Pavilion stared at the source of the golden light, and the suspicion on her face grew.
