Chapter 988: Extermination And Advancement
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When nearly a hundred celestial immortals joined forces, it was an astonishing power. It could be said to be earth-shattering, as if the whole arena was about to be overturned.
The aura was peerless. Countless laws swept out in Lu Xuan’s direction, bringing with them an enormous amount of immortal qi. All sorts of dharma treasures smashed down, divine abilities swept out and ultimate martial arts shook the heavens.
Billions of immortal qi swept over everything like a torrent.
“More people? Is it useful?” Lu Xuan revealed a cold smile. When these people decided to join forces instead of admitting defeat, the outcome was already set.
The gap between cultivators could not be made up by numbers. Otherwise, why would he cultivate immortality.
It was just that the overwhelming advantage in numbers against Lu Xuan caused them to have some delusions that they should not have.
Lu Xuan let out a loud shout. He did not move at all. With a wave of his sleeve, he unleashed heaven and earth sleeve divine ability.
In an instant, the astonishing attacks that had been coming from all directions disappeared completely. Even the dharma treasures of those heaven immortal experts were instantly taken into his bag by heaven and earth sleeve, cutting off their connection to the dharma treasures.
“How is this possible? How could my purple-gold alms bowl lost contact with me?” A celestial immortal said in shock. No matter how hard he tried to use his dharmic powers to sense it, he could not sense his dharma treasures at all.
There was another group of people who had encountered the same situation as him. After releasing their dharma treasures, they discovered that they had completely lost connection with their dharma treasures. They were instantly terrified.
However, they did not understand that Lu Xuan’s heaven and earth sleeve was a space-type divine ability. Once it entered the heaven and earth sleeve, it would be in another space. Even a golden immortal could not find his magic treasure through this unknown space.
Otherwise, heaven and earth sleeve would not be a world-famous top-tier space-type divine ability.
“Dance of the dragons!” Lu Xuan shouted and formed a lightning seal.
Instantly, countless lightning dragons descended from the skies, and over a hundred lightning dragons wreaked havoc throughout the entire arena.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
All sorts of miserable cries could be heard everywhere. Those celestial immortals felt as though they had encountered their nemesis. These lightning dragons were simply too terrifying. The lightning formed from the law of lightning was ten times more terrifying than ordinary lightning that was produced naturally.
Even though all of them were celestial immortal experts, they still let out miserable cries one after another under these attacks.
They died as soon as they were struck and were injured as soon as they were grazed!
Under this dance of the dragon, more than thirty celestial immortals instantly died tragically. They were all the weakest among them. Before they could even react, their protective vital energy shields were shattered.
The remaining celestial immortals reacted even faster. One after another, they cast defensive divine abilities and spells. However, they only struggled slightly because their defensive divine abilities and spells only lasted for an instant before they were torn apart by the lightning dragons.
More than a hundred lightning dragons were like world-destroying divine dragons, destroying and shattering everything.
In just a short moment, more than forty celestial immortals were torn apart by the lightning dragons. In the end, some celestial immortals seized the most critical moment and crushed their teleportation tokens. Then, they were wrapped up in a ball of white light and fled.
After the great battle, it was a complete mess!
Lu Xuan was the only one left in the huge arena.
After the great battle, Lu Xuan was the only one who stood at the end of the hundreds of people.
He had completely and utterly crushed!
In the face of this, not a single expert of the Heavenly Court came out to stop him. This was the true face of the Talent Evaluation Ceremony, cruel and full of hope.
Only those who could persevere to the end were the talents that the Heavenly Court needed. Even if it was only because of good luck, those who could get to this point were the talents that the Heavenly Court needed.
Luck was a mysterious thing, but it happened to be a real thing. It involved a very high-level law.
Those who could not persevere to the end were not the talents that the Heavenly Court needed. So naturally, no one would spare them a second glance.
It was because of such harsh rules that the Heaven Realm was able to maintain its strength for a long time. It was similar to the other upper-class worlds, and it was even more cruel and terrifying,
After confirming that he had advanced, the token in Lu Xuan’s hand changed again. There was an additional mark. This was the mark of him passing the first round of elimination.
In order to obtain this mark, countless people had fought with their lives. However, only a few were able to break out of the encirclement in the end.
In the first round of elimination, 90% of the cannon fodder would be eliminated and that was just an estimate. If all the people in the same arena eliminated everyone like Lu Xuan, the elimination rate would be as high as 99%.
Soon, Lu Xuan was also enveloped by a white light and disappeared from the spot.
When he disappeared, a figure appeared above the arena. If Lu Xuan were here, he would be able to recognize that this person’s cultivation had already reached the Gold Immortal Realm. He was a real gold immortal powerhouse.
This person looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. His red hair was quite eye-catching.
“I didn’t expect a good seedling was found in the first round of the elimination!”
The Red-haired Gold Immortal muttered to himself.
“In the end, I still picked up a loophole!”
He knew that those peerless geniuses or legendary geniuses would attract the attention of some big shots of the Heavenly Court not long after they were born. They would invest in them since they were young, it was equivalent to being booked by those big shots of the Heavenly Court early on.
This was a win-win cooperation for both sides. The future peerless geniuses, who were still weak, received far more resources and training than they could get. Their growth speed was several times or even ten times faster.
And those big shots of the Heavenly Court would also receive a powerful deployment in the future. When one of these geniuses grew into the next big shot of the Heavenly Court, they could also gain a powerful ally.
Of course, this ratio was very low. There were countless geniuses in the Heaven Realm, but those who could become big shots of the Heavenly Court were only a few in the end. It might not be possible for a big shot of Heavenly Court to come out of the Talent Evaluation Ceremony.
However, as long as they persevered and made persistent investments, there would naturally be gains. Investing when these Heaven Realm geniuses were still weak, the returns would naturally be extremely high. These geniuses would have to repay this favor in the end.
No one dared to ignore this unspoken rule. Otherwise, they would be viewed with enmity by all the big shots in the Heavenly Court. Then, they would basically have no place in the Heaven Realm and could only defect to other upper-class worlds.
Therefore, very few geniuses would completely forget their gratitude after they grew up. This was because they also knew that the instigator had no backing!
However, even if these Heavenly Court big shots had spies all over the world, it was impossible for them to capture all the geniuses and elites in one go.. In the end, there were still some who escaped.
