Battle Pass C, Cruel Rules
After recovering from his injuries, Yang Tianyou stayed in the White Tiger Palace for three more days to adjust his condition before entering the battle again.
This time he entered Battle Pass C. Although Battle Pass Ding can be challenged multiple times, he had already obtained the Supreme Rating, so there was no need for him to attempt it again.
However, if there's still time after clearing all the levels, you can go inside to hone your combat skills.
Those exceptionally ferocious Ironblood Hounds are excellent adversaries.
After passing through the hundred-foot- Portal, the power of the Formation quietly surged, transporting Yang Tianyou to a plaza built on a mountaintop.
Thousands of people were waiting there, most of them bewildered.
Those few who knew the rules remained silent.
However, when they looked at other cultivators, a hint of hostility would involuntarily appear in their eyes.
Since he didn't know why he had come here, Yang Tianyou simply stopped worrying about it and found a secluded spot to wait quietly.
A day later, after five thousand people had gathered, the phantom of the Guardian Deity General appeared outside the square.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the Divine General's facial expression seemed to harden and harden.
His words were powerful and resonant.
"The rules for the Battle Pass C are as follows!"
All challengers' cultivation levels will be forcibly sealed down to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement before being sent to the Hunting Grounds.
Within the Hunting Grounds, you are free to kill any creature that reaches a certain level of strength.
Killing these creatures will earn you a certain number of Merit Points.
The top 2,500 cultivators in terms of Merit Points can pass the level!
The top four thousand cultivators are the ones who survive.
The cultivators ranked in the bottom thousand will be instantly eliminated!
Furthermore, cultivators who attempt to enter the challenge are also free to kill; killing one person will earn them half of the Merits contained in the opponent's token!
The assessment period will last for one month!
Please prepare yourselves. The assessment for Battle Pass C will officially begin in one incense stick's time!
Wow!!
After the Guardian Deity General reading the rules, the entire square erupted in an uproar, like a boulder being thrown into a pool, causing ripples to spread outwards.
"What a joke! These rules? Aren't they forcing us to kill each other?" A cultivator shouted in disbelief, his eyes filled with deep fear.
"Yes, the last thousand people will all be eliminated. That's too cruel! I request to exit the level!"
"Quit? It's useless. This time, they won't let us out until we get through a month. Instead of panicking here, we should prepare for the next test!"
The one who uttered these words was a cold-faced monk.
However, he was clearly cold on the outside but warm on the inside; even in this situation, he still had the mind to persuade others.
Many cultivators were thrown into a state of panic by the words of the Guardian Deity General.
Of course, some people remained calm and unmoved, and some even had a faint smile on their face.
They were all Cultivator had absolute confidence in their own abilities.
Among these composed cultivators, five people attracted Yang Tianyou's attention the most.
A young man dressed in white feather robes, with handsome features and an ethereal, otherworldly air.
This person is named Huayu. He is Core Disciple of the Mystic Light Sacred Land in the Northern River Region. He once fought to a draw with a Demon Race in the Early Golden Core. He is quite famous in Yuan Province, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Mystic Light Sacred Land.
Besides Huayu, the other four are:
Zhuyan, a member of the Witch Tribe, is a towering giant standing over ten feet tall. He is skilled in Fire Element Technique Method, and his Fleshly Body strength is comparable to that of Body Cultivator of the same level, making him a force to be reckoned with.
The Ghost Tribe Youjue is surrounded by ghostly mist. He excels at mental attacks and keeps two natal ghosts, making him a formidable opponent.
Lei Ming, Core Disciple of the White Sky Sect, has lightning patterns on his forehead and wears lightning-patterned clothing. He is one of the Ice-Thunder Twins, a cultivator with Thunder Spirit Roots, and is extremely skilled in Thunder Method, making him a formidable opponent.
The last one was a middle-aged man dressed in Black-and-White Daoist Robe. His name was Changqing Daozhang, and he was a disciple of the True Martial Sacred Land in the Southern Sea.
This person's fate is quite similar to that of Xu Yan True Person.
They were all discovered to have Spirit Roots when they reached middle age, thus embarking on the path to immortality.
According to rumors, this Changqing Daozhang holds an extraordinary position in the True Martial Sacred Land.
"Could it be another Extreme Spirit Root?"
Yang Tianyou thought to himself with a strange feeling, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Even if it was Extreme Spirit Root, it only represented talent.
Once the battle begins, the outcome is uncertain. Yang Tianyou has never been intimidated by the reputation of his enemies.
For him, whether it works or not, he'll only know after he tries.
Time flew by in this noisy and anxious atmosphere.
In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed!
Buzz!!
Yang Tianyou, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and then saw array Array Mark emerge from below the plaza.
Under the influence of the Law Power, the figures of the five thousand Cultivators gradually disappeared.
The West the Four Symbols Secret Realm is a region spanning three thousand miles.
Its interior is a complex landscape of hills, peaks, dense forests, and valleys, where all sorts of Demon Beast, poisonous insects, and strange creatures hide.
The brook flows gently, and playful fish frolic in the water, occasionally leaping out of the water and splashing up layers of water droplets.
Beside the stream, there was a pile of pebbles of various colors. A gust of wind blew by, and Yang Tianyou appeared out of thin air.
He stared blankly at the unfamiliar scene before him.
It wasn't the beautiful scenery that attracted him, but rather his own cultivation level, which had dwindled to a mere Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.
Whether it was Spiritual Power, Fleshly Body, or Spiritual Awareness, all of them were sealed at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.
Even more tragically, the Storage Bag was also sealed, and no resources, including Law Artifacts, Forbidden Artifacts, or Pills, could be retrieved.
That wasn't the end of it. After walking along the stream for a while, Yang Tianyou's expression changed.
His Fleshly Body and Spiritual Qi were being consumed at a rate several times faster. As a result, he would have to be very careful with his next move, and it would be best if he could hunt some Demon Beasts and replenish his energy through Essence Refining into Qi into qi.
"Is this a test of a cultivator's ability to survive in difficult environments?" Yang Tianyou wondered.
The battle is divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. He previously thought these four levels were divided according to difficulty, but now it seems they are divided according to type.
The Battle Pass Ding tests a cultivator's ability to cope with group attacks.
Battle Pass C tests one's ability to survive in complex and difficult environments.
So what will Battle Trial A and B test?
Thinking about these things, Yang Tianyou's expression suddenly changed, and he shifted his body to the side.
Whoosh!!
Two dark figures flashed past me, tearing the air apart.
With the activation of his Great White Gold Eyes, two slender black venomous snakes came into view.
They are all First-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beasts, but they are extremely aggressive.
It seems that this Hunting Grounds contains some kind of power that can catalyze ferocity!
Clang!!
Yang Tianyou held his palm upright as a knife and made a diagonal cut.
Even without the Twin Blades, his Major-Completion Blade Intent remains unsealed. With this Blade Intent alone, even Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator would be no match for him.
P. S.: Here's a setting about Law Artifacts.
The first and Tier 2 are Law Artifacts.
The third to Sixth Tiers are Law Treasures. The reason they are called "Saint Treasures " in the book is more of an honorific title, because the Sage Manifestation" represents the ceiling of combat power, and Sixth Tier Law Treasures are for their use, hence the name.
The seventh to Ninth Tiers are Spirit Treasures.
Those of the Ninth Tier and above are Immortal Artifacts, Acquired Innate Merit Spirit Treasures!
Let me explain this so that no one is confused!
