The number of forces participating in the competition was not many, only ten or so. The Demon Suppression Sacred Temple and the Holy Lightning Heavenly Realm were in the fifth round.
If there was no winner by the end, they would have to compete again. If two people were victorious by the end, they would face each other in competition, ultimately determining the strongest commander.
The first round was between the Fire God Temple and the Holy Ice Heavenly Realm. Many people in the audience had seen the outcome already, as the Fire Emperor who was injured by Ten Great Emperors never fully recovered. The strong figure from the Holy Ice Heavenly Realm was an old man, exuding bone-chilling coldness upon walking onto the stage and releasing his aura.
His presence was much weaker compared to that of the Fire Emperor.
The stage had a barrier, set up by several Heavenly Realms in coordination. This barrier was strong enough to prevent any force from escaping.
"The Heavenly Realm's Imperial figures were not here, but the individuals they sent to compete are of high status within their respective Heavenly Realms. They can be considered a strong group," Shen Xiang observed.
He couldn't figure out the actions of those Heavenly Realms. The absence of Imperial figures suggested they didn’t place much importance on the Dragon Vein, but now they had brought a group of powerful individuals to compete fiercely. It seemed they were very attached to the Dragon Vein.
"Could it be that these Imperial powers have come to an agreement among themselves, refraining from taking action and letting their subordinates fight it out for supremacy," he wondered.
The hourglass was turned upside down as the competition began!
This was a very tight battle, and in an instant, the two people on the stage transformed into blurred shadows, colliding with each other. They used their strongest strength and fiercely clashed against each other.
At the moment they exchanged blows, the square battle stage split in half. One side was covered in snow and ice while the other side burned with fire, as a fiery dragon roared.
The battle between ice and fire began intensely, as the two powerful Sacred Immortals used sacred power. The icy and fiery strength they released were terrifying.
Fire can melt ice, and when ice turns into water, it extinguishes the fire. If the flames are not strong enough, they cannot resist the powerful icy cold force.
During the competition, weapons were not allowed, so their battle was all about the collision of extremely fierce sacred power.
Although the Fire Emperor only had half his strength, his opponent was not an Imperial power. He wasn’t suppressed at the beginning as everyone expected.
On the stage, the Fire Emperor’s fiery fists were filled with lava, carrying intense heat and glowing brightly with fire. The flames burning all over his body, along with various barriers, made people feel extremely hot.
The Fire Emperor emitted a deep roar like that of a blazing sun burning beast, smashing the thick ice beneath his feet and charging at the old man from the Holy Ice Heavenly Realm. He stirred up a scalding hot wave, melting the shattered ice.
The old man from the Holy Ice Heavenly Realm didn’t show any weakness, radiating white light and covering his body with a layer of sturdy ice armor. Sacred icy power flowed continuously from his body, forming sharp long spears like lightning rain, carrying deep cold strength and piercing towards the Fire Emperor from all directions.
Ice spikes also began to rise from the ground, obstructing the Fire Emperor’s advance. However, the Fire Emperor responded swiftly, swinging his fists and kicking, having a raging fire burning everywhere. He repelled the attacking ice spears and long spears, still charging towards the old man at a lightning speed.
In just a few blinks, the Fire Emperor already appeared near the Holy Ice old man. His fiery fists and palms alternated between changing, forming countless palm shadows and fist shadows like a tornado swirling around the old man. The violent fire howled, as if wailing from a厲鬼.
The old man’s brows knitted tightly. His sturdy ice armor was defending against the fierce attacks from the Fire Emperor, allowing him to use both hands to release icy sacred power. He broke through the fire tornado, forming various sturdy weapons and striking the Fire Emperor.
Time was short. As the sand clock approached its end, there were suddenly red clouds above, forming a large hand that fell down fiercely!
Fiery Dragon Hand!
Pow!
The stage trembled as the fiery heat wave pierced through the barrier, spreading around the battlefield and covering the entire square. It made everyone’s bodies feel hot, and even young disciples with weaker strength were sweating profusely and feeling thirsty.
Although the barrier couldn’t withstand this heat wave, it was still impressive. Otherwise, the entire square would have been turned into a sea of flames and the earth melted.
"This round ends now!" The young man leading it shouted. After the flames on the stage dispersed, the old man from the Holy Ice Heavenly Realm stood there, his body covered in a thick layer of ice. As the Fiery Dragon Hand fell down, he created a small iceberg to envelop himself, so he wasn’t defeated.
Both of them didn’t sustain much injury, their strengths were comparable, and they were enjoying the fight when it unexpectedly ended. It left them very dissatisfied and frustrated with a breath that was difficult to release.
"Tie. Next round!"
The second round was quite interesting, between the Dragon Clan and the Starlight Heavenly Realm!
The battle stage was relatively large for humans, but even a small claw from the giant dragons didn’t fit. Therefore, this fight was only possible for them to transform into human form, weakening their power by a lot.
Even if they couldn’t become giant dragons, the middle-aged dragon who walked onto the stage was very confident. He wore a black robe and didn’t plan to take it off, making it seem unnecessary.
The person from the Starlight Heavenly Realm was actually a teenager, looking very young. He didn’t have the middle-aged dragon’s aura and puzzled many people. Sending such a little punk was too hasty from the Starlight Heavenly Realm.
Although each force had two slots, if a winner was decided in the first round, the second slot wouldn’t be used.
"Begin!"
The white-robed teenager from the Starlight Heavenly Realm moved very nimbly, as if moving through space. He instantly flashed to the side of the middle-aged dragon and his slender arm moved like a venomous snake attacking at top speed, grabbing towards the middle-aged dragon’s throat.
Many people saw this teenager for the first time as his hands grabbed and squeezed the middle-aged dragon’s throat, pulling out a large piece of flesh. Blood sprayed from the dragon’s throat onto the teenager, turning him blood red.
People watching were stunned. They didn’t expect the middle-aged dragon of the Dragon Clan to suffer such serious injuries, even though the attacking teenager had an expression of disbelief at the bleeding throat.
Only Shen Xiang and a few others could tell that the middle-aged dragon was fake!
This was an illusion technique within the Dragon Clan’s transformation. Shen Xiang was very proficient in this move.
As expected, when the white-robed teenager was mesmerized, a black dragon claw grabbed towards his head and tightly squeezed. His head instantly exploded into pieces like shattered glass, blood gushing out like a fountain.
He died so quickly!
The Dragon Clan was too brutal. They didn’t have any grudge between them, but only by doing so could they secure victory.nsed an extremely powerful sword intent coming from the Fiery Smoke Divine Sword, feeling extreme danger deep inside."You don’t have a chance!"
