Two days flew by in the blink of an eye, and the month-long elimination tournament came to a successful close. Brilliant beams of light streaked across the sky like meteors, safely teleporting the competing heavenly prodigies out.
Countless scavengers among the native residents glared hatefully at the heavenly prodigies being teleported away. They had spent an entire month hunting them with all their might, yet not only had they killed few of the outsiders, many of their own people had fallen at their hands. Another heavy stroke had been added to the blood-deep feud between them.
Back in the outside world, the heavenly prodigies greedily breathed in the fresh air. They had long since grown sick of the Burial World's rotten atmosphere, and now they felt as though they had been reborn.
Countless spectators around them erupted into thunderous cheers. Any heavenly prodigy who had survived a month of pursuit by swarming scavengers deserved their cheers and applause.
Yet the number of heavenly prodigies who had died was staggering: their ranks had shrunk by slightly more than a third. Countless people wrung their hands and sighed. These were peerless heavenly prodigies who had fought their way out of their respective regions, only to perish here in such numbers.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem. Congratulations to all the heavenly prodigies who have successfully advanced to the next round. The rewards previously promised to you will also be distributed immediately.
Each heavenly prodigy in the integrated body realm will receive one million middle-grade spirit stones!
Each heavenly prodigy in the great Luo realm will receive twelve million middle-grade spirit stones!
Each heavenly prodigy in the quasi-saint realm will receive thirteen million middle-grade spirit stones!
..."
Jin Dongni stood suspended in the air like an immortal, making his announcements in a ringing voice.
