Those who had been defeated could neither be challenged again nor challenge others.
Thus, after roughly two months had passed, only twenty-seven True Immortals and True Spirits remained competing for those three spots.
None of these twenty-seven True Immortals and True Spirits had cultivation below the Mid Tribulation Crossing Stage, and nearly all of them came from major powers among the Demon Race and humanity.
The twelve True Immortals on the human side all hailed from the various Immortal Palaces.
The fifteen True Spirits of the Demon Race were likewise all from renowned great True Spirit clans, such as True Dragons, phoenixes, kirins, and Golden Crows.
This made Zhou Yang sigh inwardly. The True Immortal Realm truly was the True Immortal Realm—vast and rich, with all manner of geniuses emerging one after another.
He had reached the Late Tribulation Crossing Stage before even reaching ten thousand years of age, and he had originally been exceedingly proud and satisfied with himself.
Yet after seeing these people, he realized that he was not truly some uniquely exceptional existence.
Of course, Zhou Yang would not belittle himself either. He had risen from humble beginnings, and the hardships he had endured to reach this point were far beyond anything these highborn True Immortals and True Spirits, blessed with noble bloodlines, could compare to.
Perhaps they were still on the same level now, but in the future, he would surely leave them behind, just as he had left behind countless talented peers in the past.
A phoenix feather drifted through the air and landed beside Zhou Yang once more.
He rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping over the fifteen Demon Race True Spirits before finally settling upon an azure True Dragon.
