Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1697 - On the Trigger

Chapter 1697 - On the Trigger

Envoy Rong Wang glanced at Feng Hua with a hint of disgust. He said expressionlessly, “The rules of the Battle of the Strongest Immortal are very simple. The Peerless Geniuses will advance straight to the second round. The rest will duel the opponents that will be decided with a draw. Let it begins.”

He waved his hand. The elders of the Sky Taihuang Sect, the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, and the Sanqing Ancient Sect immediately made their way to the dojo.

The Human Immortals that were taking part in the battle exchanged glances with one another before making their way to the dojo too. They started drawing their opponents and proceeded to battle them in the assigned areas.

Various kinds of mystical rays were emitted from the dojo, with continuous explosions.

“Huh, that young man with a mask is quite impressive.”

“He has achieved the fourth-layer Human Immortal Realm after he ascended, not bad.”

“That woman’s attacks are brimming with intent. She must be close to mastering the Four Extremities. Go, check her background. If she hasn’t joined any faction, try and recruit her.”

The elders of the Supreme Daoism factions and under the reign of the Peerless Rulers, and the rest of the cultivators observed the duels. Some were nodding slightly, others remained silent.

Many cultivators that had yet to master the Four Extremities had come to take part in the Battle of the Strongest Immortal too. They did not come for the title. They were only here to showcase their talents.

If they happened to catch the attention of an authority, they would have a bright future ahead.

As the battle continued to take place, the atmosphere heated up gradually. Discussions took place among the crowd. Qin Nan watched a few duels carefully before closing his eyes to prepare himself.

A few hours later, the first round came to an end. Two hundred and ten Human Immortals successfully advanced to the second round.

The atmosphere slowly shifted too.

The Peerless Rulers that were chatting among themselves stopped talking and placed their attention on the dojo.

The inexperienced cultivators with relatively weaker cultivation held their breaths. Their hearts were pounding heavily.

Everyone knew the first round was only the prelude. The real deal was about to begin.

If anyone was able to enter the limelight here, they would earn utter glory and have their name spread across half of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!

Envoy Yue Jue spoke instead of Envoy Rong Wang this time. Her red lips moved slightly as her soothing voice like a gentle stream flowed in the hearts of the crowd, “All participants will take part in the second round. It will be a mixed battle; death is possible.”

“The person that defeated half the participants and remained in the battle until the very last moment will be crowned the Strongest Immortal of this Tide of Ascension!”

Envoy Feng Hua sitting on the leading position burst out laughing and said, “The rewards of the Strongest Immortal are absolutely gratifying. The person will have a chance to cultivate in any of the Blessed Immortal Lands of our three Supreme Daoism factions for half a year…”

Despite what the Envoy said, there was nothing special about the reward. Most Peerless Geniuses had only come for the glory.

“I’ll add another reward to it.”

However, before Envoy Feng Hua could finish his sentence, an imperious voice echoed on the mountain as if it had come from a great distance away.

A strong pressure lingered in the air.

Every cultivator, including the Peerless Rulers, immediately felt minuscule before the pressure, like a piece of fallen leaf in the world.

“Pa…Patriarch?”

Envoy Feng Hua was startled.

The other two Envoys, the Peerless Rulers, and the crowd of cultivators were astounded.

The Patriarchs of the Supreme Daoism factions had rarely shown up in the previous Battles of the Strongest Immortal.

The last time one showed up was around five thousand years ago, the year that Empress Feiyue participated in the Battle of the Strongest Immortal. The Patriarch only showed up after Empress Feiyue dominated the scene.

After all, the Battle of the Strongest Immortal only involved Human Immortals.

Even though there were lots of great talents that were discovered in these Battles of the Strongest Immortal, many had died before they could become a Heaven Immortal, or even an Earth Immortal.

It was unlikely that a Nine Heavens Supreme would bother wasting their time on it.

But now, the reputable Patriarch of the Sky Taihuang Sect wanted to add more reward to the Battle of the Strongest Immortal before the second round started?

“Greetings, Patriarch!”

“Greetings, Supreme Chang Xiao!”

Envoy Feng Hua and the rest of the authorities immediately brought their fists together.

“At ease.”

Supreme Chang Xiao’s voice echoed across the place, “The thought just happened to cross my mind, but I haven’t decided what reward I should add…how about this, I will instruct the person that is crowned the Strongest Immortal for a day.”

Many cultivators were astounded.

The chance of being instructed by a Nine Heavens Supreme, how significant was it?

Without being exaggerating, it was surely going to be a great help to the person’s experience, comprehension of the Great Dao, and many other aspects!

“I shall thank the Patriarch in advance on behalf of the participants.”

Envoy Feng Hua brought his fists together, yet his eyes flickered confusedly.

He had known Supreme Chang Xiao for over three thousand years. He knew clearly that the man would not just do something all of a sudden.

Yet why would he add more reward to it?

In addition to him, the other two Envoys and the Peerless Rulers frowned too. They immediately fell into deep thoughts.

Envoy Feng Hua did not think too much about it. He quickly wore a smile and said, “I assume everyone has clearly heard it? On behalf of the Patriarch, I now declare, the second round of the Battle of the Strongest Immortal starts now!”

The cultivators collected their thoughts.

Zhao Kuo, Yan Qingyan, Huangfu Hou, Wu Huisheng, Sima Xunbei, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses immediately unleashed their auras and flew to the dojo.

Qin Nan made his way to the dojo too. The other Human Immortals made their way to the dojo too.

“The battle is about to begin!”

Even the Heaven Immortals and the authorities shifted their attention toward the dojo.

The atmosphere on the dojo intensified.

“Spread my word, ask Sima Xunbei and the others to slay Qin Nan!

“Tell Wu Huisheng to take Qin Nan out first!”

The Peerless Rulers of the Sky-Inheriting Sect, the Dao Execution Gate, and the others transmitted their thoughts with cold looks in their eyes.

What Qin Nan did at the World of Yin and Yang had resulted in great losses to them and also put them to shame. Now that the chance was here, they surely would not miss out on it.

The eyes of the South World Immortal Emperor and Long Xuanling flickered coldly. They transmitted similar thoughts to their disciples too.
