Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao didn't need them because they were confident in their own strength.
Da Huang and the others needed them to face the Challenge Ranking more effectively. Sacred weapons would be their greatest aid.
The eight sacred weapons were quickly claimed by the group, each choosing according to personal preference.
With sacred weapons at their sides, everyone was brimming with confidence.
Two days later, when the Challenge Ranking was announced, all of Eternal City fell silent in an instant.
There was nothing surprising or novel about the Challenge Ranking. But the words "Life and Death No Matter" filled everyone with fear.
Death!
Could death really happen in the battles for the Eternal Ranking?
Only the Tao Family Alliance had witnessed the destruction of the Shi Family Alliance, so everyone else had no real understanding of death.
Even when Chen Changan had slain members of Eternal Hall right in front of its Hall Master, the others had assumed he'd used some kind of trick. They had never thought those people had actually been killed.
But this time, the Challenge Ranking had brought death directly before their eyes.
"Impossible. How could this be?"
"Could there be a mistake in the rules? The Eternal Ranking must not know that people in the Eternal Land can't die. That has to be it."
"Right, right! How could people in the Eternal Land die? 'Life and Death No Matter' must just be some casual phrase. Yes, that's it."
"Hahaha, I never thought the Eternal Ranking could make such a mistake. This is..."
"But... is it really a mistake?"
Everyone exchanged uneasy looks. This was the Eternal Ranking—how could it make such a basic mistake?
Could the Eternal Ranking not know that death was impossible in the Eternal Land?
No. It had to know.
