A Savage Battle, Each Displaying Their Divine Abilities
Liu Yi's gaze swept across the entire Virtual World, confirming that all the system hosts who had registered for the competition had arrived.
With a thought, he immediately conjured up the first round of competition venues in the Virtual World, ranging from the Golden Core Realm to the Immortal Venerable Realm.
The arenas at all levels are filled with Devil Race and Devil Beast of the same rank.
Even in the arena of Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable, Demon Emperor and Devil Venerable are specially created.
Each arena is clearly marked with its corresponding realm, allowing participants to easily identify which arena they should go to.
He then devised the arena for the second round of the competition.
Each realm has 10,000 arenas.
The contestants who advance to the second round stand on their respective arenas, and each arena will gradually merge with the other 9,999 arenas, where the contestants will compete against each other.
The two arenas will only separate after one side is defeated;
Once a participant recovers from their injury, they can fight against other participants again.
This process continues until every participant of the same skill level has finished fighting everyone else.
The rankings are then determined based on the battle results, and those who rank in the top three thousand can be listed on the All-Heavens Combat Power Ranking.
After making the arrangements, Liu Yi handed over the hosting of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Championship to the system's AI.
The suddenly appearing arena for the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Championship instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone saw the densely packed Devil Race and Devil Beast in the first round of the competition, they couldn't help but gasp.
"My god, the number of Devil Race is terrifying. They practically cover the entire arena, making it hard to even find a place to stand. The moment a participant steps in, they'll likely be surrounded and slaughtered by these demons."
"That's awesome, absolutely awesome! It should be this simple and straightforward. The Combat Power Ranking is all about real combat strength; only the strongest can make it onto the list."
"This competition was very fair, perfectly in line with the principles of Fairness System."
To climb the All-Heavens Combat Power Ranking, one must possess unparalleled strength, overwhelming all others to earn their respect.
"Hahaha, to witness Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable being besieged by the Devil Race today is truly fortunate."
"That's right. We'll also get to witness a battle between Immortal Venerable Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperor Immortal Venerable. This is a once-in-a-millennium fortuitous opportunity."
In reality, let alone watching the battle, even if one were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of it, they would be directly obliterated by the residual power of the Great Dao.
This time, we can watch the game openly and honestly.
"Thanks to the Fairness System, we have been given this invaluable opportunity to observe and learn from the battles of the strongest."
Above the Virtual World's sky, the system intelligently manifests as a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire, her voice clearly resounding in all directions:
"Welcome everyone to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Championship! I will now read out the tournament rules."
This competition consists of two rounds. The rules for the first round are as follows...
The first round of the competition has now officially begun!
All participants must immediately enter the arena corresponding to their level. Those who do not enter will be considered to have automatically forfeited.
As soon as the words were spoken, countless contestants soared into the sky and entered the arena corresponding to their respective realms.
As soon as everyone stepped into the arena, the massive number of Devil Race and Devil Beast inside roared in unison, as if receiving a command.
An overwhelming onslaught descended, with countless Devil Creature swarming forward to surround and kill all the participants.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed as all the participants immediately engaged in a bloody battle with the Devil Creature, the battlefield instantly littered with flying blood and flesh.
However, the splattered blood and flesh fragments instantly turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated.
Many contestants with weaker combat power were unable to withstand the Devil Creature tide and were torn apart by the monsters in a matter of moments, thus being eliminated and leaving the arena.
The most thrilling battles of the entire event were undoubtedly between the Immortal Emperor Realm and the Immortal Venerable Realm arenas.
The powerful figures unleashed their Great Dao Divine Ability, each move tearing apart the heavens and annihilating the eight wastelands.
All the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable participating were surrounded by Demon Emperor and Devil Venerable Venerables of the same rank, and were caught in a frenzied battle.
Spacetime trembled on the battlefield, all things collapsed, and the Great Dao Principle were constantly being eroded and destroyed.
Despite the terrifying nature of the battle, it couldn't shake the arena's barrier in the slightest, not even causing a ripple.
All the system hosts in the arena were shocked as they watched the fierce battle unfold on the field. They couldn't help but gasp in horror.
"It's terrifying! Each contestant has to face a siege of numerous Devil Creature, with no way to retreat or avoid them, and can only fight to the death."
Anyone with even slightly weaker combat strength will perish in an instant.
"It's too brutal! Even those with high cultivation levels can only fight to the death against a dense swarm of Devil Race of the same realm. Even Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable can be blown to pieces."
"As tragic as it may be, only in such desperate situations can the true strongest be selected."
You see, many powerful individuals remain calm and collected even when surrounded, slaughtering their way through the enemy lines. The difference in combat strength among them is immediately apparent.
Liu Yi quietly surveyed the fierce battle unfolding on the field, his expression utterly unmoved.
To climb the All-Heavens Combat Power Ranking, one must possess absolute and formidable combat power. Only by calmly dealing with the siege of thousands of powerful enemies can one be considered a true powerhouse.
Such as Bai Qianqian, Xu Cheng'an, Zixiao, Jian Lingxu, Ye Qingxue Chen Jie, Xie Tong, and other Martial Emperor (Immortal Emperor) powerhouses.
Even surrounded by the Demon Emperor, he remained as steady as a mountain, calmly resisting the attacks while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, displaying unparalleled combat prowess.
There were also the Immortal Emperor Cang Hong and the Sword Emperor (the Sword King of the Land of Exile), who were also extremely fierce. Even when facing a siege, they fought back and forth with deadly ferocity.
Liu Yi's gaze then fell on Ye Fan.
He unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist, his body radiating an invincible and world-suppressing imperial might, and with a single punch, he shattered the oncoming Devil Race and Devil Beast.
"As expected of someone who will rise to the Above the Sacrificial Dao in the future, his combat talent is extraordinary."
Unfortunately, he is only in his fifth generation now, and his foundation is still shallow. Compared with the offspring of those Immortal King, Immortal Lord, and Immortal Emperor, he is still far inferior.
Even among the top geniuses of the Mysterious Firmament Realm, none are weaker than him.
The cultivation environment in his world was far too comfortable, lacking the intense, inward-competitive tempering of the Mysterious Firmament Realm.
He then turned to look at Fengyun Wuji and Zhong Yue, both of whom had already reached the Martial King Realm, possessing immense combat power and formidable aura.
"As expected of the chosen protagonist of a world, his talent and combat prowess are both top-notch."
Unfortunately, similar to Ye Fan's situation, there were few strong individuals at the same level, and the intense pressure of a life-or-death battle was lacking.
He turned his gaze once again to the group of geniuses of the Azure Billows Realm.
Su Wantang sat upright in the arena, her fingertips lightly plucking the thirteen-stringed zither. The vast power of the Great Dao of Lust of Passion swept in all directions, quietly invading the minds of countless Devil Race.
Influenced by the Great Dao of Lust, countless Devil Race lost their minds and began to kill each other.
Many more Devil Race became trapped in a world of lustful illusions, unable to extricate themselves, and ultimately succumbed to it, perishing silently.
"The combination of the Great Dao of Lust and the Sonic Wave Technique is incredibly powerful, making it perfect for group battles."
Liu Yi's gaze fell on Qian Duoduo, who was using the Divine Ability that All Things Have a Price to manipulate the Devil Race through trade, causing Devil Race to fight and kill each other.
He himself stood leisurely, watching the Devil Race fight amongst themselves with a smile.
"Money can make the devil turn the millstone"—this saying is indeed true.
Old Qian's All Things Have a Price Divine Ability, once used properly, is truly terrifying in its power, and it's also very suitable for him.
