Jiang Ziliu didn't intend to get involved, but the academy wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by.
The academy had unexpectedly prepared God Rank teacher with special skills, capable of monitoring the entire battlefield, at the very place where the opportunity lay.
The teacher then used special equipment to livestream the competition for this opportunity, letting the students understand what a top genius in the universe is and what kind of person is a true powerhouse among their peers.
The live stream started soon, and all the students in the academy, including the lower-grade beast tamers below the Demigod level and the Demigod Rank beast tamer students, were to come and watch.
This opportunity arose very suddenly.
It's not some fixed opportunity.
This chance encounter resulted in a drop of divine blood from a Stellar-Rank God falling into a pool of water. This blood, combined with the pool's original power, underwent a wondrous evolution, transforming into a unique mist of rules.
This mist contains the power of a powerful God and possesses special properties.
For other Demigod, it is a venomous mist that can corrupt the soul, but for powerful beings at the Demigod Ninth Stage, it has a special effect.
Because it can integrate into the soul, forming a stabilizing effect on the soul. However, this effect is temporary, as it is essentially a kind of soul illusion poison, and its stabilizing effect is formed by the power of illusion.
This effect, when Demigod ascends to God and ignites the Divine Fire, can make people forget their pain.
However, while this illusionary power is formidable at other times, it vanishes the moment the Divine Fire is ignited.
Moreover, this fog of rules only truly forms at specific times.
These beings at the Demigod Ninth Stage were waiting for the moment it would be fully formed.
They wanted to seize their opponent, break through to the level of God on the spot, and prevent them from taking him out of this place.
Therefore, this competition is limited. Those who are over a thousand years old and at the Demigod Ninth Stage should not even think about participating; that would be a complete waste of this opportunity.
Regardless of their race or the origin of their genius, they must be under a thousand years old.
The gathering of prodigies included demigods under the age of 1,000 from various races in the Milky Way who were at the Demigod Ninth Stage, as well as geniuses of the same level from the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy itself.
They competed fiercely for this opportunity.
The Milky Way Beast Taming Academy has also set up special checkpoints on the road to the Land of Opportunity to eliminate those who are not qualified to compete.
Jiang Ziliu was only interested in watching the drama unfold, but had no intention of participating.
His focus remained on investigating the location of the core fragments Forging Throne; even his own advancement to Planetary-Rank God took a backseat to this matter.
Once the college's live stream started, everyone watched it together.
The first wave of competition was to get them through a dangerous region teeming with Demigod Rank Evil God.
This region was moved here by the most powerful God in the academy using spacetime teleportation techniques, forcibly turning this place, a gathering place of Evil God, into a test for this competition.
Excess leads to life, excess leads to death.
If you're going to fight for an opportunity, you must be prepared to fall into the hands of Evil God.
The academy will not provide rescue, but it will give each of them a special distress talisman. If they are willing to pay ten times the price, the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy will also send out powerful experts.
If they hold out until these powerful figures arrive, they will be taken out of this Evil God's Land.
However, this rescue still requires them to demonstrate their own strength and hold out until the academy's experts arrive.
Moreover, a large sum of resources must be allocated to the college beforehand.
Of course, this step is not required for the academy's own students.
Milky Way Beast Taming Academy has also made a profit from this.
However, those who are rescued will completely lose their eligibility to compete for subsequent resources.
After this step began, a large number of Demigod Ninth Stage infiltrated this Evil God's Land. Everyone Divine Ability, either secretly passing through or forcefully breaking out, each employing every means to get through.
Among them was the beautiful Asura named Xue Qiuye.
Her choice was unexpected by Jiang Ziliu; she chose to pass through secretly and stealthily, instead of fighting her way out as Jiang Ziliu had guessed.
Based on his understanding of the Asura Race's way of doing things, they mostly solved problems through killing.
Just like how the Asura Holy Maiden dealt with the Starry Sky Behemoth Nest, it was all about killing!
Her methods convinced Jiang Ziliu that she was a very cunning and unconventional witch.
Jiang Ziliu also appreciated her approach, since this matter concerned advancing to God, and if everything was resolved by killing, then he would be a true brute.
Her ability to choose to pass through secretly demonstrates her intelligence and control over her nature.
If they don't guard the gates, they'll be moved to a place where Demigod Rank Evil God won't give them a chance to sneak through.
From the moment they were moved here, these Demigod knew that no matter what the outcome, they were doomed.
They've gone mad; they're all trying their best to kill as many geniuses as possible from across the universe, hoping to take as many geniuses as possible down with them.
Therefore, they are also hunting down Demigod who attempt to pass through covertly.
Even Demigod Ninth Stage like Xue Qiuye, with a powerful background and abundant resources, was unable to break through the blockade of these Evil God despite using a special concealment Divine Art.
Because some of the Evil God gathered directly at the only passage and used their power to seal off the void, directly blocking any possibility of passing through silently!
They even used a special type of rule-based dust fog to create an even stronger blockade.
Any living being that passes through this place will inevitably stir up the dust and mist, triggering the senses of the Evil God that created the dust and mist.
Most remarkably, this dust and mist possesses a powerful ability to suppress Divine Power.
In retaliation, these Demigod Rank Evil God even brought out their most prized possessions.
This dust cloud is one of them.
This arrangement completely eliminated the possibility of these geniuses at the Demigod Ninth Stage passing through secretly.
You may be well hidden, but your passing will definitely attract attention.
As a result, a great battle broke out quickly. Some perished at the hands of the Evil God, while others successfully fought their way through the encirclement.
Those who charged forward were true geniuses, the kind who had mastered at least three intermediate-level Divine Art.
Their combat power was made extremely formidable by Divine Art.
Their fighting stance also completely startled some Demigod Rank students and teachers at the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy.
They suddenly realized that these geniuses who had mastered more than three Divine Art were ten times stronger or even more powerful than those of others at the same level.
After all their hard work, they've only managed to master one Divine Art at most; they'll have to Divine Art even harder to learn two.
Jiang Ziliu had no experience of how difficult it was to learn Divine Art, since he had such a strong foundation that learning top-tier Divine Art was not difficult for him.
What he didn't know was that even a typical Demigod's foundation and understanding of the rules would find it incredibly difficult to learn a single Divine Art, to the point of turning gray.
The prodigies' strength is the envy of others.
Even so, those who managed to fight their way out of the Evil God were only the upper-middle tier of the competitors, not the top-tier fighters.
For an Asura like Xue Qiuye, it was almost effortless; he charged out in one breath.
She had previously preferred to go underground, simply to conceal her strength and conserve resources, thus increasing her chances of winning in the real competition later.
