Over the next stretch of time, Lin Chuan encountered several more waves of attacks, but all of them were countered by his attributes. Thus, he no longer had to expend as much effort as before to block them. Relying on the advantages of immortal qi chakra and elemental restraint, he could basically stop the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor's attacks with a single high-level ninjutsu.
However, by this point, more and more people had entered the middle layer. Everyone had discovered the secret to controlling Black Origin and grown more cautious.
Just then, a sudden explosion rang out. The eighth cultivator to enter the middle layer failed to withstand the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor's attack and was struck squarely in the chest by a water-attributed beam of light. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the black-robed cultivator was instantly severely injured. Nor did Black Origin fly back to the outer area as everyone had expected; it directly left the Five Elements Domain and returned to the outermost perimeter.
The cultivator wrapped within Black Origin was flung out and crashed heavily onto the ground amid everyone's astonished gazes.
"Someone actually got eliminated!" Lin Chuan said in surprise.
"There are three layers in the Five Elements Domain. Moving from one layer to the next is a critical juncture. If you cannot withstand the Five Elements Domain's attacks at that point, you will be eliminated directly!" Xiao Heng said with narrowed eyes.
"How confident are you two about reaching the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor?" Lin Chuan asked Xiao Heng and Shi Jin. The two of them were currently in the same line, forming the foremost group among everyone present.
"We do not need to reach the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor. The one who needs to reach him is you!" Xiao Heng said
