Chapter 2246  The Competition (2)

A blizzard of sword strikes engulfed the battlefield, each strike freezing the very air around it. The wolf-like beasts were caught in the maelstrom, their bodies shattering into icy shards.

On Long Jingxia's side, with her graceful movements and flowing white robes, seemed almost ethereal amidst the chaos of the battlefield. She faced a swarm of winged demons, their razor-sharp claws and venomous fangs a constant threat.

She unsheathed her sword, a slender blade that shimmered with a heavenly light. With a gentle flick of her wrist, she unleashed a series of blindingly fast sword strikes, each one deflecting the demons' attacks with effortless grace.

"Dance of the Heavenly Dragon!" she chanted, her voice filled with a serene power.

A golden dragon materialized around her, its scales gleaming, its eyes blazing with a righteous fury. The dragon roared, its voice shaking the heavens as it charged towards the winged demons.

The demons scattered in terror as the dragon unleashed its fiery breath, incinerating them in a torrent of flames.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hu found himself surrounded by a horde of monstrous spiders. Their multiple eyes gleamed with a predatory light, their hairy legs scuttling across the ground with alarming speed.

He gripped his spear tightly, his knuckles white with tension. He knew that he was outmatched, but he refused to give up without a fight.

"Flying Tiger Descent!" he roared, channeling his qi into his spear.

A spectral tiger materialized behind him, its eyes glowing with a fierce determination. The tiger roared, its voice shaking the earth as it charged towards the spiders.

The spiders hissed and spat venom, but the spectral tiger was undeterred. It tore through their ranks, its claws ripping them apart, its fangs piercing their chitinous armor.

As the battle raged on, the three young cultivators fought with unwavering determination. They faced wave after wave of demonic beasts, their strength and skills tested to the limit.

On the outside, Yun Lintian looked at the battles with intrigue. He could see most of the participants were holding nothing back, striving for the top rankings from the first round.

"What do you think?" Huang Zheng asked while leisurely enjoying peanuts.

"The difference is too obvious," Yun Lintian replied. He scanned the participants on the screens and noticed those with a good background could easily deal with their opponents, while wandering cultivators struggled.

"The higher you go, the more obvious it becomes. Background plays a huge part in individual success here. After all, resources are limited," Huang Zheng said indifferently.

Yun Lintian nodded gently. Huang Ba had already told him about this, and the scene in front of him confirmed it further.

Just as he was about to say something, Yun Lintian's entire body tensed up as a powerful spiritual sense locked onto him for a split second before disappearing.

Yun Lintian furrowed his brow and scanned the entire avenue, but he couldn't determine the owner's location. One thing he was certain of was that whoever was behind this was a True God.

"What's wrong, Little Brother Yun?" Huang Zheng asked curiously.

Yun Lintian was inwardly surprised that Huang Zheng hadn't even noticed. It seemed this mysterious person was extremely strong.

He shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just thought of something."

"Oh," Huang Zheng didn't inquire further.

In a tall tower far from the Colosseum, an old man with a long goatee beard retracted his gaze and turned to look at Huang Xian sitting opposite him.

"This little guy's perception is very sharp. He could detect my spiritual sense right away. No wonder you want to send him into the Holy Lands," the old man said. He was the leader of the Divine Light Cousin, Chang Ke.

Huang Xian took a sip of tea and asked, "How's the situation over there?"

"It's not optimistic. Recently, the Scholar God entered seclusion, and the God of Order has also gone missing," Chang Ke said with a frown.

"Who is in charge now?" Huang Xian's expression turned serious.

"Tantai Lanling," Chang Ke said in a deep voice.

"It's her..." Huang Xian's heart sank. "What about the others?"

Chang Ke shook his head. "Since the disappearance of the God of Elements and the God of Life, except for the Scholar God and the God of Order, the remaining Primordial Gods have become more secretive and rarely show up in public. It's been three hundred thousand years now."

Huang Xian went silent for a while and asked, "Is it Tantai Lanling's idea?"

Chang Ke nodded. "She said that the Holy Lands need to expand and recruit more new blood."

"And you believe her?" Huang Xian met Chang Ke's gaze.

Chang Ke took a sip of tea and sighed. "Old Huang, we've been friends for a long time. So, I won't hide anything from you. The Holy Lands are no longer the same. You can ask your descendants later. They should have experienced something during this period."

"What do you mean exactly?" Huang Xian asked.

"What I want to tell you is that it's better to stay away from the Holy Lands. A storm is brewing," Chang Ke stopped here, his eyes filled with worry.

Huang Xian was even more curious. It seemed he needed to collect his descendants soon. At the same time, he began to worry about Yun Lintian again. It was definitely an unwise decision to let him enter the Holy Lands at the moment.

The first round of the competition had reached its ending. As the shimmering portal reappeared, beckoning the winners back to the Colosseum, a sense of accomplishment washed over them. They had not only survived the first challenge but had also proven their worth as contenders for the ultimate prize.

Returning to the Colosseum, the winners were greeted with a thunderous roar of applause. The crowd had been captivated by their performance, their courage and resilience inspiring awe and admiration.

The elder's voice boomed once again, announcing the results of the first challenge. "Congratulations to all the winners. Their performances were exemplary, demonstrating exceptional strength, skill, and courage."

The crowd erupted in another round of applause, their cheers echoing through the Colosseum.

The elder's voice boomed once again, announcing the next challenge. "The second challenge will be a test of agility and speed. You will be transported to a sprawling maze filled with treacherous traps and hidden passages. Your task is to navigate the labyrinth as quickly as possible and reach the exit. The first thousand cultivators to emerge from the maze will advance to the next round."
