40th floor.
Bai Guandao's figure slowly appeared. On this floor, he, who was in the late stage of the Golden Elixir, had to face off against a hundred mid and late stage Third Stage demonic beast illusions.
"Too terrifying. A hundred demonic beasts of the same level. How is he going to pass?"
"It's only the 40th floor, but the difficulty has already reached such a level. It's impossible for ordinary people to pass. What's the point of having a total of 99 floors in the Sealed Spirit Pagoda?" The spectating geniuses were all stunned. At the same time, they were puzzled.
"Bai Guandao has been stopped!"
This was the first time Bai Guandao, who had grasped the True Meaning of Space, had been stopped by demonic beast illusions.
Before this, the demonic beast illusions could only dream of touching Bai Guandao for five breaths of time.
Under such a dangerous situation, Bai Guandao displayed his abilities other than the True Meaning of Space for the first time.
His proficient metal-elemental spell, coupled with his True Meaning of Space, had actually evolved into a terrifying form of long-distance spell.
Even the powerful cultivators of the Dao Sect were somewhat interested at this moment.
According to the Sealed Spirit Pagoda's difficulty setting, the 40th floor was already the limit for a cultivator.
They also wanted to know if Bai Guandao could break through this limit.
On the screen, under the siege of the demonic beasts, Bai Guandao's hand flickered with spiritual light. Countless golden swords shot out and then disappeared in the air.
In the next instant, the golden swords appeared at the demonic beasts' vital points and directly pierced through them. Blood spurted out continuously, making it impossible to guard against.
This was the combination of the True Meaning of Space and magic.
But to kill these demonic beast illusions, which were comparable to late stage Golden Elixir cultivators, would definitely consume a lot of spiritual energy. Coupled with the fact that these demonic beasts were not afraid of death, the death of their companions made them even crazier to besiege Bai Guandao.
After blocking five waves of attacks from the demonic beast illusions, Bai Guandao was finally eliminated, unable to create another miracle.
"Phew!"
"He failed."
"What a pity!"
After seeing Bai Guandao's elimination, some people sighed, some sighed, and some rejoiced.
But no matter what, Bai Guandao's stunning performance and the True Meaning of Space made all the cultivators present look up to him.
Bai Guandao (Northern region)
Floor: 40th floor
Overall Ranking: 1
Domain Ranking: 1
.....
When Bai Guandao's figure appeared in front of the Spirit-sealing Tower, countless people looked at him strangely, either with admiration or jealousy.
But Bai Guandao's face was calm, as if he wasn't proud of his results. He only looked at the Sealed Spirit Tower.
At this point, there were only three people left who had not been eliminated.
Currently, the Nascent Soul cultivator Zhou Yuan was on the 33rd floor, Mo Yan was on the 30th floor, and Lu Qingshan was on the 27th floor.
.....
The thirty-third floor.
Zhou Yuan, who had transformed into a flame giant, looked around at the dozens of initial grade-4 demonic beast illusions around him. He then glanced at the current ranking, as if thinking about something.
After a while, a small, fiery red fox leaped out from his body, and Zhou Yuan transformed back into an ordinary person from his flame giant form.
As the only Nascent Soul cultivator from the seven regions, Zhou Yuan was a burly, long-haired man with two strange patterns inscribed on his face. He looked extremely wild.
But under everyone's astonished gazes, white light flashed from Zhou Yuan's body as his figure turned illusory.
The next moment, his figure was ejected from the Spirit Sealing Tower.
He had taken the initiative to give up on this floor!
Zhou Yuan, stopped at the 33rd floor, ranked second overall!
"He should know that he can't reach the 40th floor and can't surpass Bai Guandao. There's no point in going any further, so he might as well give up and not expose more of his trump cards." Sect master Changgeng's eyes were deep as he saw through Zhou Yuan's thoughts.
.....
The 30th floor.
Flames burst out from Mo Yan's body. Three breaths after entering the teleportation spirit array, he couldn't resist the wild bombardment of the demonic beast illusions and was eliminated at the fourth breath.
However, even at this point, he had only used one type of Exceptional Fire — the Red Lotus Exceptional Fire.
And Mo Yan had at least three types of Exceptional Fires...
After leaving the Sealed Spirit Tower, Mo Yan subconsciously checked the battle situation in the Sealed Spirit Tower, only to find that he was the second last person to be eliminated.
At this moment, there was only one person left in the Sealed Spirit Tower.
Mo Yan pulled out the battle situation in the Sealed Spirit Tower and looked at the familiar figure in the screen. He couldn't help but smile. "Brother Lu, we meet again … long time no see …"
.....
The 27th floor.
Lu Qingshan had already changed his attitude of wanting to slaughter all the demonic beast illusions and was now going all out to break through.
Facing the swarm of demonic beasts, the Peach Blossom Sword shot out at eleven times the speed of sound, producing a terrifying sonic boom.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan used the Invisible Sword Escape. His body and sword fused together, and he nimbly dodged the attacks of the demonic beasts. In an instant, he shook off the demonic beast illusions and entered the teleportation array with the Imperial Sword Technique.
He then used the Myriad Sword Art and Sword Armor to block the frenzied attacks of the demonic beasts, enduring the five breaths of time needed for the teleportation.
With the powerful spiritual power recovery from a Dao Tier cultivation method, the Unity Stage Slaughter Sword Intent's ability to predict danger, the combination of the Invisible Sword Escape and Flying Sword's extreme speed, as well as the Five Elements Sword Armor's powerful defense, Lu Qingshan's speed at breaking through the floors at full speed was beyond anyone's imagination.
In reality, this was the case. Most of his time was spent on recovering.
In front of the Sealed Spirit Pagoda, hundreds of thousands of genius cultivators watched as Lu Qingshan charged all the way to the 33rd floor.
"After passing this floor, he will surpass Zhou Yuan and become the second place of the Sealed Spirit Pagoda's semi-finals." Countless people whispered as they cast their gazes on the current second place, Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan only had an indifferent expression.
"It's just a semi-finals ranking. Even if he can surpass me, what's the use?
Even Bai Guandao, who performed far better than me in the Sealed Spirit Pagoda, won't be able to defeat me in the final grand competition.
You have to know that the one who has the last laugh is the winner. "Zhou Yuan did not care, and even ridicule rose in his heart.
The Sealed Spirit Pagoda could not fully reflect a person's strength.
Because … in the Sealed Spirit Pagoda's semi-finals, the strength of each person's opponent was very different.
Moreover, there were many cultivators like him who hid their strength for the grand competition.
"Comprehension of the Unity Realm?" Bai Guandao's eyes flickered as he stared at Lu Qingshan on the screen, "He comprehended the Concept of Slaughter and has already reached the Unity Realm … En, this is interesting. I want to see if my True Meaning of Space is stronger, or if his Unity Realm Slaughter Sword Intent is stronger!"
Bai Guandao's heart was overflowing with battle intent.
"Lu Qingshan, an intermediate Golden Elixir, is nothing to worry about!" The arrogant White Bone Daoist stared at Lu Qingshan's figure and said in a low voice, "The only ones worth worrying about are Bai Guandao and Zhou Yuan. The others are just so-so!"
The gray-robed Yu Cibei looked at Lu Qingshan on the screen with interest and said softly, "He's also a sword cultivator and seems to specialize in external swords. I just don't know if his sword is faster than mine!"
.....
Even among the 500,000 geniuses, these were the most outstanding geniuses. None of them would easily admit defeat. They all had absolute confidence and arrogance!
After seeing Lu Qingshan's performance, they were not afraid. Instead, they included Lu Qingshan in their list of opponents.
"Brother Lu seems to be about to lose." Mo Yan muttered in the crowd.
On the 33rd floor, the battle had reached its craziest moment.
Lu Qingshan once again charged into the transportation array to the 34th floor. But this time, facing the overwhelming number of monsters, he did not last more than five breaths of time.
In the Sealed Spirit Pagoda semi-finals, the last contestant was eliminated.
The semi-finals officially ended.
Because if the number of floors was the same, the ranking would be based on the time taken to reach that floor. Therefore, Lu Qingshan's final result was:
Lu Qingshan (Southern Region)
Floor: 33rd floor
Overall Ranking: 3
Domain Ranking: 1
