"The Battle of Souls is over and the results are out. This subordinate respectfully invites Lord Left Minister." Yue Yuan's words attracted a lot of attention. Almost at the same time he bowed to the shadow left behind by the Left Minister in the sky, the gazes of all the cultivators in the square in front of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's residence gathered on Yue Yuan.
However, there were a few exceptions. The most obvious one was Ling Dong. Ling Dong's gaze was focused on the ball of red light that had just appeared in the Sky Demon Region.
As Yue Yuan's voice fell, the ball of red light gradually faded away, revealing the figure inside. However, the figure that appeared next shocked Ling Dong.
Originally, after the cultivators who participated in the Battle of Souls came out of the Sky Demon Region, the leading elders of their respective sects or cultivators close to them would rush up to receive them. This was because most of the cultivators who had lasted until the last moment had exhausted their Spiritual Energy. If something went wrong, they would directly fall into a deep sleep.
However, the moment the red light faded away, the figure of the last person who came out suddenly shook. Aura Qi surged around his body. With a light flip, he landed firmly on the ground.
The moment this person landed on the ground, he landed among a dozen or so cultivators. However, the moment he landed, the dozen or so cultivators who were standing there suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only one cultivator standing there alone.
What surprised Ling Dong even more was that after the cultivator landed, there was no sign of exhaustion on his face. Instead, he was full of energy and his eyes shone brightly. He did not look like a freak who had just endured sixteen days in the Sky Demon Region.
"Bare feet, grey clothes. If you don't count the ink feather short cloak on his back, I'm afraid anyone who looks at this person from behind would think that he is a beggar and not a peerless genius …" Looking at Mo Yu's strange appearance, Ling Dong looked at Shi Qianbi in surprise.
What Shi Qianbi said was right. This Mo Yu was indeed someone that anyone could remember deeply just by looking at him.
"Bare feet, grey clothes, ink feather short cloak. This is Mo Yu. He is always dressed like this. Furthermore, regardless of whether he is flying or walking, walking on the sandy ground, or walking on the rocky path filled with sharp stones, he is always barefoot. "Shi Qianbi said.
Ling Dong then observed Mo Yu, whose eyes were radiating with a mysterious light and did not show the slightest hint of fatigue. He sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Shi, you are right. This Mo Yu is indeed an exceptional genius."
"Of course! This Mo Yu is a true peerless genius. Compared to those so-called geniuses who rely on special treasures to suppress their cultivation base at the peak of the Qui Star realm for over a hundred years before participating in the Elite Battle, he is a true peerless genius. "As he spoke, Shi Qianbi glanced at the arrogant Lie Fentian, who was like a ball of fire.
After glancing at Lie Fen Tian, Ling Dong suddenly thought of something. He turned to Shi Qianbi and asked, "Brother Shi, according to what you said, why aren't any of the top ten martial artists from the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's estate? Could it be that there is no one from the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's estate? That is impossible, right? "
"Brother Ling, my knowledge of you is really …" Hearing this, Shi Qianbi revealed a look of despair. Without waiting for him to finish, Bai Yuhan, who was beside Ling Dong, said, "The first Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's iron rule forbids the disciples of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's estate from participating in the Vermillion Bird Millennium Elite Battle."
"The disciples of the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's estate are forbidden from participating in the Vermillion Bird Millennium Elite Battle?" After receiving this answer, Ling Dong was extremely surprised. Just as Ling Dong was about to ask something else, the shadow left behind by the Left Minister in the sky suddenly flashed. Then, the shadow became real at a speed visible to Ling Dong's naked eye.
"Yue Yuan, the Soul Battle is over? How are the results? " When the Left Minister's voice appeared from the shadow that was gradually becoming real, Ling Dong and the others gasped. They were clearly shocked by the Left Minister's miraculous skill. It arrived inexplicably without any energy fluctuations.
"Reporting to the Left Minister, a total of 1,312 martial artists entered the Heaven Devil Region to participate in the Soul Battle. A total of 936 martial artists came out, and 390 people died." Yue Yuan's voice paused when he said this.
Although everyone had known this number for a long time, they were still shocked when they heard it now. They all sighed at the cruelty of the Vermillion Bird Elite Battle.
Excluding the elimination round, the martial artists who entered the Heaven Devil Region in this Soul Battle were all elites of their respective realms. They were all gone just like that.
"Among the 936 people who came out alive, a total of 347 martial artists managed to survive for ten days in the Heaven Devil Region. In other words, there are a total of 340 martial artists who passed the Soul Battle this time! In addition, according to the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's instructions, the top ten of this Soul Battle will be decided.
The martial artist with the first place in this Soul Battle is Mo Yu from the Moon Deer Realm! The second place is Lie Fentian from the Vermillion Bird Realm. The third place is Huang Hou from the Earth Deer Realm. The fourth place is … Ling Dong from the Wood Deer Realm! " When he mentioned Ling Dong's name, Yue Yuan deliberately glanced at Ling Dong. There was a trace of surprise and doubt in his eyes.
In Yue Yuan's memories, Ling Dong's cultivation was only at the Earth Shatter Realm more than a decade ago. However, more than a decade later, Ling Dong's cultivation had soared to the third level of the Quasi Star Realm. This leap was truly inconceivable.
If Yue Yuan found Ling Dong's leap in strength inconceivable, then Yue Yuan found Ling Dong's Divine Soul cultivation and Ling Dong's fourth place in the Soul Battle inconceivable.
Cultivation could be improved through fortuitous encounters, elixirs, and all sorts of methods. However, Divine Soul cultivation could only be improved step by step. There were no shortcuts.
This kind of calculation made Yue Yuan vaguely feel that Ling Dong was hiding something …
"The fifth place is Fu Dong from the Golden Sheep Realm. The sixth … the tenth place is Shi Qianbi from the Wood Deer Realm!" After the report, Yue Yuan specially reminded the Left Minister, "Reporting to the Left Minister, the Wood Deer Realm's performance in this Soul Battle was outstanding. They took up two of the top ten spots!"
The moment Yue Yuan said this, the corner of Di Nankun's mouth twitched and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Oh, I know." The Left Minister, who was still sitting cross-legged in the air, glanced at the martial artists on the ground and said, "Those who didn't pass the Soul Battle can leave now."
Since the Left Minister had spoken, there were people below who arranged for those who failed to leave. Before long, the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion was emptied. There were even fewer people left, which made Ling Dong sigh.
When they first arrived, there were tens of thousands of people. Now, only three hundred people were qualified to stay after two battles. Fortunately, other than Shi Qianbi and Ling Dong, Bai Yuhan also passed the Soul Battle. There were also four other Wood Deer Realm cultivators who passed the Soul Battle. This number of people was still at the bottom among the various star realms.
"Congratulations to all of you for passing the Soul Battle. You will be the elites among the elites of the Vermilion Bird Star Field. Like last time, after passing the Soul Battle, you will have a month to rest and recover. After a month, the next Elite Battle will begin, the real Elite Battle! "
At this point, the Left Minister's voice suddenly rose slightly as he said, "Next, it's time to give out the rewards for passing the Soul Battle. Every cultivator who passed the Soul Battle will receive a high-grade origin spiritual artifact with the ability to choose its attribute. You will also have a chance to go to the second floor of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion to choose a secret manual.
Next, please report to the Vermilion Bird Guards your requests for high-grade origin spiritual artifacts. If the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion has stock, they will be given out on the spot. If not, I will arrange for people to refine them. You will receive them in half a month. "
As the Left Minister's words fell, the previously quiet square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion became noisy. Vermilion Bird Guards in scarlet robes walked back and forth, giving out rewards to the over three hundred cultivators who passed the Soul Battle.
As for Ling Dong's choice of reward, it was very simple. Previously, when Di Nankun had specially given out rewards, Ling Dong had chosen a defensive high-grade origin spiritual artifact. This time, his choice was naturally an offensive high-grade origin spiritual artifact.
Moreover, it was a high-grade origin spiritual artifact that could increase the power of the innate spiritual fire. Ling Dong's goal was very clear. He wanted to make his strength stronger.
For the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion, there was no lack of high-grade origin spiritual artifacts that could increase the power of the innate spiritual fire. Even the high-grade origin spiritual artifact that could increase the power of the innate spiritual fire that Ling Dong had deliberately requested was given to Ling Dong on the spot.
"This is a Vermilion Bird Feather Ring that is relatively rare even in the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion. It can increase the power of the innate spiritual fire." A Vermilion Bird Guard handed the high-grade origin spiritual artifact to Ling Dong and quickly left.
"It's actually a feather ring?" Looking at the high-grade origin spiritual artifact in his hand that could increase the power of the innate spiritual fire, Ling Dong was secretly delighted. It was very much to his liking.
"Where is Mo Yu?" When the square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion quieted down, the Left Minister, who was sitting cross-legged in midair, spoke again.
"Present!" When the Left Minister's voice landed, a response containing a strange rhythm sounded.
"Mo Yu, you are the cultivator with the number one record in the Soul Battle. According to the Star Monarch's orders, he will personally summon you and give you a reward. Follow this Minister. This Minister will bring you to meet the Star Monarch!"
The Left Minister then said to Yue Yuan, "Yue Yuan, I will leave the other nine cultivators in the top ten to cultivate in the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land. This is this Minister's command token. Keep it well!" After saying this, a black light flew toward Yue Yuan.
After Yue Yuan responded, the Left Minister floated forward. Mo Yu naturally followed closely behind. In a few breaths of time, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Looking at the disappearing figures of Mo Yu and the Left Minister, Ling Dong felt a little regretful. An opportunity to meet the Star Monarch to fulfill his promise and even receive the reward had been lost just like that.
However, this was something that could not be helped. Strength determined everything.
"Alright, the top ten cultivators in the Soul Battle, follow this Minister. This Minister will send you to the Little Yin Yang Blessed Land to cultivate for fifteen days." As he spoke, Yue Yuan had already turned around and flew toward the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion. The moment he turned around, a sinister gaze swept over Ling Dong.
