Ning Cheng’s gaze also fell on top of the tournament stage, the man who came out was dressed in white, handsome and beautiful, without a trace of dust on his body, in stark contrast to the bloodstained contestants who had been thrown out of the trapped killing formation earlier.
“This is a strong person, I have felt this kind of aura from many strong people when I participated in the first creation battle.” Burning Fu, who was standing beside Ning Cheng, suddenly said.
“How is his strength compared to yours?” Ning Cheng looked at this man in white and suddenly thought of someone, that was the Seven Gods Hall Hall Master, Strange Song, who he had taken out back then. This man was somewhat the same as that Strange Song in both his demeanour and arrogant eyes.
Ning Cheng knew that the other party was definitely not Strange Ge, who he had personally killed, and would definitely not be here. Moreover, Strange’s strength was definitely not as strong as this white-clothed man’s. At best, Strange was only half a step into the Realm of Realm Creation, but this man was afraid that his strength was far beyond the Realm of Realm Creation.
Burning Fu said in a faint voice, “He is naturally not as strong as me, but his formation dao is extraordinary and will probably cause you a little trouble when the Creation War opens in the future.”
Burning Fu’s knowledge of Ning Cheng was only limited to rumours, and he did not know much about Ning Cheng’s formation dao.
Speaking of this, Burning Fu suddenly hemmed and hawed, “Moreover, this person is ruthless and ruthless, I am afraid that other people’s lives are not even worse than a mole’s to him ……”
Ning Cheng understood what Burning Fu meant, and he looked at him with some disbelief. No matter what, cultivation was also cultivating the heart, and killing was only done as a last resort or when others were offended by it. If it was like what Burning Fu said, then it was simply unbelievable.
Knowing that Ning Cheng understood what he meant, Burning Fu said in a faint voice, “This person’s level of formation dao completely surpasses the trapped killing formation set up by those few judges, and none of the participants in that trapped killing formation can affect him in the slightest. The reason he didn’t come out until now was because he wanted to kill someone in the trapped killing formation.
If I’m not wrong, after this person comes out, it won’t take more than a moment or three for the second and third places to come out. When the competition is over, the number of people who participated in the fighting array is estimated to be a little less than half. Most of the people who are missing are killed by this person.”
As soon as Burning Fu’s words fell, two people once again rushed out from the trapped and killed formation on the tournament stage. Although these two had rushed out on their own strength, they were covered in somewhat fragmented Dao rhythm and also carried a hint of blood. It was evident that Burning Fu’s guess was not half wrong.
Ning Cheng took a breath and once again landed his gaze on the first man in white who came out, that man in white had his hands behind his back and his eyes were calm, as if he hadn’t experienced anything.
The two men who came out behind him also glanced at the white-clothed man with some trepidation and walked slightly further away.
“The fourth fighting array competition is over.” After the first three were decided, Mi Ruan hurriedly threw out the formation flag and announced at the same time. Obviously she also knew that this competition had gone wrong because of the man in white. Since it was a fighting formation, damage was naturally unavoidable. To take killing as a pleasure, as the man in white did, was simply outrageous.
The trapping formation on the stage was removed, leaving only hundreds of participants who were still a bit bewildered. Instead of the large half that Burning Fu had guessed, there was a small half who were still alive. All of them were somewhat silent as they watched. As a practitioner, they had long been indifferent to life and death. But in this short time of fighting, there were only less than four hundred people left out of over eight hundred, this was simply a killing field.
Those who did not participate also had a sense of fox grief, if they had lost in the dueling formation, being trapped and killed would have been fine. Now it was not losing in a fighting formation, but being killed by a man who took pleasure in killing.
“This fang is so murderous that he is simply killing for the sake of killing. With this killing heart, he wouldn’t be able to cross over to the Gate of Creation.” Xiao Xinxi stared at the man in white standing in the middle of the tournament stage and said disdainfully.
“Maybe he can’t cross into the Gate of Creation, but with this formation strength of his, he can play a big role in the creation battle.” Burning Fu retorted.
Ning Cheng suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this white-clothed man was indeed too murderous, and that he seemed to have a little bit of so incomprehensible reason for killing.
“This man also has a purpose for killing, he blocked the exit of the Trapped Kill Formation. The first participants to reach the exit were all considered by him to be people who could possibly come out on top in the formation dao, and in order to reduce the number of people who would threaten him in the formation dao in the future, he went on a killing spree to kill those formation dao powerhouses. I’m afraid that the few who were transported out of the trapped and killed formation before were still the ones who had used special means and had better luck.” Nian Yan said on the side as she voiced out what Ning Cheng had in mind.
Ao Ru sucked in a cold breath, “There are so many Formation Dao powerhouses in the world, can he kill them all by himself, or can he kill them all?”
“Perhaps to him, killing one is one less.” When Nian Yan finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Burning Fu who was standing to the side.
Burning Fu said with a frown, “What are you looking at me for? My talisman dao is unmatched, even if more talisman powerhouses came out, I wouldn’t think they would surpass me and then go and kill. This kind of thing without confidence, I would go and do it?”
In this world it was originally the strongest that reigned supreme, not to mention in the fighting array. Before the fighting formation, the rules had even been announced, life and death were on their own. Now that more formation powerhouses had fallen, no one would dare to stand up and say anything.
Mi Ruan seemed a little desperate to end the dueling bouts and hurriedly stood on the stage to announce, “This is the end of the fourth dueling bout. I will now announce the rankings, third place goes to Zhuo Feng of the Seven Sha Realms, and second place goes to Jia Muyu of the Dou Rang Realm. First place went to Strange Zeus of the Seven Divine Halls, congratulations to the above three Daoists.”
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, Seven Gods Temple? That was not a sect of the Taiyi Realm, as the Seven Gods Hall’s Grand Hall Master, Morge, had been killed by him and the Seven Gods Hall had long since gone up in smoke. How could there be another Seven Gods Hall in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven? Moreover, this Stranger Zu and Stranger Ge were so similar?
If it wasn’t for the fact that Stranger Zu was far stronger than Stranger Song, Ning Cheng would have almost thought that Stranger Song had not been killed, but that his original spirit had escaped and then found someone to take his body. In fact, Ning Cheng knew that this was absolutely impossible. The path of the Dao of Formation was not something that could be improved by taking over a body.
Or maybe this Strange Zu was a member of Strange’s clan, and there was no telling if this fellow would know that Strange had been killed by him. However, from the beginning until now, this fellow had not looked at him with his eyes, so he probably did not know.
No, it suddenly occurred to Ning Cheng, if this person did not know about Strange Song, then where did the name Seven Gods Temple come from? Unless the Stranger Family was the Seven Gods Hall, and then Taiyi’s Seven Gods Hall was a copycat version of Stranger Song.
As Mi Ruan finished announcing the end of the fourth competition, one of the most heavily divided competitions in this realm began, the duel.
Before the DouFa competition had started, even if they knew that the DouFa was the heaviest competition in terms of deaths and injuries, not many people would have cared. But the fact that most of the participants fell in one go in the DouFa competition cast a shadow over the participants in the DouFa competition.
This time, Daoist Monarch Wang Shan himself came to the middle of the stage, and his gaze swept over the body of Stranger Zu before he said in a loud voice, “Fellow Daoists, there is still one last competition left in the Xuanhuang Heavenly Realm, the Dou Shu. I am Wang Shan from the Heavenly Gate Realm, and this duel will be presided over by myself, together with Daoist friend Feng Huang Mei from the Jiaquan Realm and Daoist friend Liao Qianlu from the Nine Heavens Realm, and now Daoist friend Liao will announce the rules of the competition.”
Liao Qianluo took a few steps to Daoist Monarch Wang Shan’s side and said with a cupped fist, “Fellow Daoists, this division of the Outer Heaven Realm is not only a competition, but also a grand event. This event allows us Daoists from all the major realms to meet in the Outer Heaven and allows us to see more powerful people from all sides. The rules of the tournament are slightly more than the rest of the tournaments, and are divided into five rounds, the first round crossing the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower ……”
When Liao Qianluo spoke of the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower, there were immediately some murmurs from under the tournament platform, and even some of the participants’ faces showed a worried look.
Ning Cheng was going to participate in the doujinshi, so he was naturally more concerned about this rule. Just as he wanted to ask what the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower was, Ao Ru explained on the side, “Big brother, this Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower is one of the most terrifying trial places in the Heavenly Gate Realm and a top-tier magic treasure, with a total of thirty-six levels. I didn’t expect Daoist Monarch Wang Shan to bring this thing here as the first round of the duel.
Although I had never been inside this Thunder Tower, I knew that it was filled with divine lightning of various rules, with all five elemental rule lightning strikes. There were also some lightning strikes that transcended the rules and were even more bizarre. Those who go in for the trial should hurry to exit when they cannot support themselves, otherwise they will definitely fall in it. In any case, this Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower will not come out with as high a mortality rate as the fighting array.”
Ning Cheng had a general impression, he himself possessed thunder attribute spirit roots and had also cultivated thunder attribute divine abilities. I thought that passing through the Thunder Tower should not be a problem. By taking out the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower, Daoist Monarch Wang Shan should also have the desire not to cause any more mass killings.
Only after Liao Qianlu waited for the discussion to lower a little did he say, “As many people know, the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower has a total of thirty-six levels. As long as one rushes to the ninth floor or above, they can always choose to exit if they can’t support themselves. But below the ninth floor, there is no way to exit, and if you cannot rush through, you will only fall. Daoists who do not want to take the risk can withdraw.
In the first round of the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower, the top ten will be chosen. These ten people will fight in the second round according to their ranking, first place against tenth place, second place against ninth place, and so on and so forth, and finally the top five will be decided.
In the third round, the top five will be drawn according to the rules of the draw, with one person entering the top three directly, while the remaining four will fight two by two, with the winner entering the top three. In the fourth round, the top three will again draw lots, and the one who is short will advance to the top two, and the last two will fight, with the winner and the one who is short competing for the first place, and the loser being the third.”
Obviously the rules of the dueling tournament were still designed for a quick and easy conclusion, and to say that it was fair was not the least bit true. If one was lucky, one might be able to enter the top two with just one bout.
No one had any objections to the rules of the competition.
After Liao Qianlu finished speaking, Daoist Monarch Wang Shan directly offered up a tower. This tower landed in the middle of the tournament stage and instantly transformed into a tower that was tens of feet tall and took up almost the entire tournament stage in size.
The tower’s dao rhythm flowed, and the lightning light of various rule attributes fluctuated so that divine sense could not penetrate it at all.
“One thousand three hundred and twenty-one participants for this duel, please enter the Heavenly Gate Thunder Tower, the competition will now begin.” After Daoist Monarch Wang Shan sacrificed the Thunder Tower, Liao Qianlu announced the start of the competition.
Of the five competitions, the number of participants in the duel was the largest. It was evident that as a starry sky practitioner, most possessed great confidence in their divine Daoism.
