The Arena Battles Begin

Zhang Yang stepped onto the arena, looked at the crowd around him, and said seriously, "Before this arena competition begins, there are a few points I need to emphasize."

Firstly, our Azure Cloud Sect is not the organizer. It is only due to special circumstances that sects from all over the world, as well as the Ghost Clan, the Demon Race, and seniors from the Devil Race have gathered here to exchange skills. Therefore, if any situation arises on the arena, it has nothing to do with our Azure Cloud Sect.

Secondly, please cherish the environment of Azure Cloud City. If you have any conflicts, please resolve them outside of Azure Cloud City. If conflicts arise within the city, then the Azure Cloud Sect has something to say to everyone.

Thirdly, regarding the issue of referees for the arena, we hope that seniors from various sects at the Dao Integration Realm can serve as referees. If the seniors from various sects are unwilling, that's fine too. However, if any prodigies from each sect cause problems on the arena, they will be responsible for their own actions.

Fourth, we still hope that everyone can uphold the idea of mutual learning and exchange in this competition, and that everyone should stop when they have made a move.

This is just my thought. If anyone is willing to step forward and act as referee, please come out and take the stage."

After speaking, Zhang Yang stepped down from the arena and returned to his seat belonging to the Azure Cloud Sect.

The Dao Integration Realm from various sects immediately frowned.

They had initially thought that the Azure Cloud Sect would step in as referee, but unexpectedly, the Azure Cloud Sect didn't care about anything...

Referees are definitely necessary, because they are also worried that their prodigies will fall at the hands of the Ghost Clan or Demon Race.

Yun Song glanced at the Dao Integration Realm from the other major sects and suggested, "How about we take turns being the referees?"

Because they were all at the Peak Dao Integration Realm.

As for the other Dao Integration Realm, the Late Dao Integration Realm Dao Integration Realm is very rare; most are at the early stage.

We may not be confident in intercepting this alien Cultivation Method.

Jing Xian, Jiang Tao, Diao Buer, and the others all nodded in agreement.

Jing Xian said in a deep voice, "This is a confrontation between us and the Ghost Clan and the Demon Race, so I hope that each of us will do our best when acting as referees. Because this is about protecting the interests of our entire group."

He was somewhat worried that someone was deliberately not taking action, allowing other prodigies to perish.

Yun Song coldly said, "Anyone who doesn't do their best will be attacked by the other sects!"

They One-Guard Monastery when three exceptional talents arrived.

If something goes wrong, their One-Guard Monastery will be huge.

Therefore, Yun Song cared particularly about this matter.

The Dao Integration Realm from other sects all nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Yun Song voluntarily stepped onto the stage to serve as the referee for the first day.

"Who will perform in the first round?" Yun Song asked.

His gaze was fixed on the Youfeng.

Because this competition was mainly initiated by the Ghost Realm.

Youfeng looked at a Black-Robed Man from the Ghost Clan and ordered, "Go!"

The Black-Robed Man nodded and stepped onto the arena.

Youfeng raised his voice and addressed the audience. "Our Ghost Clan's first person to appear has a cultivation level equivalent to your Nascent Soul Realm. However, we Ghost Realm people look quite different from you, so please forgive us."

In addition, each of us can only play one match a day, and we will not be allowed to play again until we lose.

In other words, each person only has one challenge opportunity per day.

In the first round, the Ghost Realm treasure we're betting on is five drops of Soul-Condensing Liquid!

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing what Youfeng had said.

Each person can only play one match per day, which avoids a cycle of matches, and that makes sense.

However, everyone was somewhat stunned when they heard about the Soul-Condensing Liquid.

What's the use of this?

Zhang Yang stood up and said to everyone, "Soul-Condensing Liquid is a specialty of the Ghost Realm. It has a 60-70% chance of turning a recently deceased person into a ghost cultivator!"

After he finished speaking, he sat down.

The Azure Cloud Sect already has Soul-Condensing Liquid, so he doesn't need to show up.

However, when other sects heard about the effects of the Soul-Condensing Liquid, their hearts trembled instantly.

Within every major sect, there are many people whose lifespans have run out.

For those whose lifespans have run out, using the Soul-Condensing Liquid would be...

This is an invaluable treasure for every sect!

In an instant, every sect made a decision: they must take it down.

Even the Sage Master sent a message to Kong Xiuping Divine Sense, saying, "It's a pity you've reached the Primordial Spirit Realm... If there are any more Primordial Spirit Realm ghost cultivators later, you should go and fight!"

"Should I send someone else to fight?" Kong Xiuping asked.

"No rush, let's take a look at the Cultivation Method of the Ghost Realm first!" the Sage Master replied.

Of all the sects, Return to Origin Temple was the most anxious.

Because of Zhang Yang's opening of the Ghost Gate last time, Return to Origin Temple lost a Tribulation Realm.

The Demon Race is now advancing aggressively, and Return to Origin Temple urgently needs to replenish its fighting strength.

If they could obtain the five drops of Soul-Condensing Liquid, it would be of immense help to Return to Origin Temple.

However, before Return to Origin Temple could send anyone to fight, a Nascent Soul Peak jumped onto the arena. "Li Yao of the Mount Li Sect, please enlighten me, fellow Daoist from the Ghost Realm!"

Jing Xian's eyes lit up as he looked at the Dao Integration Realm from the Mount Li Sect.

The Mount Li Sect, located within the territory of their Return to Origin Temple, is also a first-rate sect.

If the Mount Li Sect manages to obtain the Soul-Condensing Liquid, it should naturally hand it over to the Return to Origin Temple...

When the Dao Integration Realm from the Mount Li Sect saw Jing Xian looking over, his expression instantly turned ugly.

He understood the meaning behind Jing Xian's gaze perfectly, and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Do they really have no chance to get ahead?

On the arena, Yun Song, acting as the referee, stood ready and slowly said, "I hope you'll stop short of a fight... Begin!"

Upon hearing the start, Li Yao immediately activated his defensive Law Treasure.

Defend before attacking.

Because no one knows what methods the Ghost Realm has.

He was already being careful enough, but...

The Ghost Realm's black robe billowed, and a skeletal hand emerged from it, grabbing at Li Yao. Instantly, Li Yao let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.

The light from the Law Treasure on his body completely faded, and he was utterly defeated.

Upon seeing this, the Black-Robed Man from the Ghost Realm also stopped.

Yun Song was stunned. As the referee, he had no time to stop it before it was over.

Everyone else was also stunned.

They had considered that Li Yao might lose, but they never expected him to lose so decisively.

All the Dao Integration Realm from various sects wore solemn expressions, sending messages to their respective sect's prodigies. "Be careful to protect your Divine Soul... This is a powerful Divine Soul attack!"

Many Dao Integration Realm smiled bitterly to themselves.

For most people, it is only after reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm that they have the means to protect their Divine Soul.

How powerful can the Divine Soul of a Nascent Soul Realm be?

How can we resist such tactics?

At this moment, everyone realized that the treasures of the Ghost Realm were probably not so easy to obtain.

The Sage Master also sent a message to the disciples of the Langya Sacred Land, solemnly instructing them. "You Nascent Soul Realm have no means to withstand this kind of Divine Soul impact. However, as scholars, your Divine Soul are stronger than those of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, before the battle begins, use the Spirit-Concentrating Technique; perhaps you will have a chance."

"Sage Master, shall I go and fight him?" A Nascent Soul Realm disciple volunteered.

"Yes!" the Sage Master agreed.

But we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

As for the others, we haven't tested them yet, so who would dare to make a move rashly?
