The wider the area covered, the greater the probability of young geniuses appearing.
Furthermore, some reclusive geniuses also wanted to prove their potential and all wanted to take a look at their potential.
Hence, they would all come to Extreme Light Imperial City.
Every 300 years, Extreme Light Imperial City would become a melting pot, becoming the place where all young geniuses competed.
Ye Yuan's eyes were full of determination as he said in a solemn voice, "This junior can't afford to lose, and also won't lose!"
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord laughed and said, "Huhu, emperor surmounting aura, this old man is really very curious to what extent you can accomplish!"
Ye Yuan suddenly looked at the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord, eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Pavilion Lord, you only take action once every 300 years, could it be that … you've suffered serious injuries before?"
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord's pupils constricted when he heard that and said in shock, "You punk, what discerning eyes! Heh heh, that's right, this old man rashly judged heaven's secrets back then, resulting in suffering Heavenly Dao's backlash, causing my realm to drop drastically. That's how I ended up in this plight. Taking action once every 300 years, this old man is barely able to recover my vitality. But this time, if you really get first place, the next Hundred Battles Arena will probably have to be postponed."
Ye Yuan's expression changed and he said with clasped hands, "For Pavilion Lord to be willing to take action to help me, this grace, Ye Yuan will definitely remember it!"
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord chuckled and said, "This old man being seriously injured once to exchange for an emperor surmounting aura's favor, it's very worthwhile! But … still that sentence, your opponents are very strong! You can only receive this old man divination if you get first place."
...
"What? You still going to take part in the Hundred Battles Arena in the end?"
The reason why Jian Zhentao brought Ye Yuan to go find the pavilion lord was in order to not let him participate in the Hundred Battles Arena.
In his view, with Ye Yuan's strength, it was totally impossible to get the Hundred Battles Arena's first place.
That battle outside the door, Jian Zhentao still thought that it was Ning Tianping taking action until now.
For a Second Firmament Divine Lord to want to overpower all heroes on the Hundred Battles Arena, this was simply a fool's talk.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Yes! Pavilion Lord said that as long as I can get first place, he'll perform a divination for me!"
Jian Zhentao waved his hand and said, "That's the reward that the first place should get! If you can get first place, what did I work so hard to bring you to go find him for?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You're mistaken! If it's others, that's the reward that the first place should get. But for me, he can refuse!"
Jian Zhentao froze and said, "Why?"
Ye Yuan said, "Because, he says that I'm of the emperor surmounting aura! Even if it's him, performing divination for me will also greatly harm his vitality!"
"Hiss!"
Jian Zhentao's pupils constricted, s.u.c.k.i.n.g in a cold breath, using eyes as if looking at a monster and staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.
"E-Emperor surmounting aura!" The shock on Jian Zhentao's face could not be any greater.
Extreme Light Imperial City, forget about Extreme Light Imperial City, even in the entire Heavenspan World, one also could not find more than a few.
It was hard to produce a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in several million years too!
Emperor surmounting aura had only ever existed in the legends.
He actually met a live one today!
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Pavilion Lord even said that if I really get first place, the next Hundred Battles Arena will probably have to be postponed. This shows that the divination this time is a huge burden on him!"
Jian Zhentao was thunderstruck by this news until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Imperial aura was already his bold guess.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan's destiny was not an imperial aura but actually an emperor surmounting aura!
He suddenly somewhat understood why he would break through.
This was getting tainted by Immortal Qi1!
Only after a long time did Jian Zhentao recover from his shock. He said with a solemn look, "Ye Yuan, you must stay tight-lipped about this matter and mustn't let people know! Otherwise, you'll have countless troubles!"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Senior rest assured, Ye Yuan naturally knows."
A future Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, this news was too explosive.
His rise was bound to shake the existing structure. Maybe after some heavenly emperors get this news, they would send people to come and kill him.
It was not that this kind of thing did not happen before.
Jian Zhentao continued, "But I'm still unable to believe that you can get first place!"
Ning Tianping smiled when he heard that and said, "Senior rest assured, His Excellency's strength absolutely doesn't pale in comparison to those geniuses. At least, I'm not His Excellency's match! Although getting the first place is hard, His Excellency won't give up."
Jian Zhentao laughed in spite of himself and said, "Are you joking with me? A Second Firmament Divine Lord, even you are not a match?"
Ning Tianping smiled and said, "That battle in front of Senior's house was His Excellency personally taking action. If facing the enemy head-on, His Excellency has confidence in killing Jian Ping! It's just that His Excellency didn't wish to offend the Profound Secrets Pavilion, that's why he forcefully endured and did not make a move."
Jian Zhentao looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief. Was this guy a freak? Reminder, X-layered heaven has been changed to X Firmament from now on.Doesn't actually mean immortal.
Chapter 1714 - Third Firmament Spatial laws!
Inside Extreme Light Imperial City, young geniuses gradually increased.
In the streets and alleys, tea houses and taverns, there were young faces everywhere.
These young geniuses came in different shapes and sizes, but the pride on their being could not be concealed no matter what.
"I heard that currently, there are already three Sixth Firmament Divine Lords who signed up for the Hundred Battles Arena!"
"How on earth did this bunch of freaks cultivate? I never delayed my cultivation all the way and I'm also just a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord up until now."
"Isn't that so? Realm is secondary, the terrifying thing is that their laws comprehension is even high! I heard that Jiang Nan fused three powers of law, his strength immensely formidable!"
"Yeah, also, that freak called Xiahou Yun, heard that he comprehended destruction law. None are his match in the same rank!"
...
In the city, discussions had already long begun.
Some powerful opponents had also long been picked out, becoming everyone's target of heated discussion.
Hundred Battles Arena was divided into a total of eight groups.
Each group's first place could get the Profound Secrets Pavilion's seven grand elders' guidance.
And in the end, these eight groups' first place will undergo the final showdown to determine the champion of the Hundred Battles Arena this time!
This champion would obtain the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord's personal guidance.
This was unparalleled glory. So those powerful geniuses all cracked their heads wanting to fight for this first place.
Although it was all aura viewing art, different people executing it, the effect was naturally different.
Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord studied the mysteries of good fortune. The geniuses that he personally guided before, all became notable figures of a region later.
At this time, inside Phoenix Immortal Restaurant's top floor luxury private room, Jian Ping was currently raising his wine cup a
nd chatting away with a young man.
When he heard the news of Ye Yuan going to participate in the Hundred Battles Arena, he was immediately overjoyed.
Ye Yuan was personally received by the pavilion lord, he had no way of directly acting.
But if Ye Yuan was accidentally beaten to death by people during the competition, then he could not blame anyone.
Life and death were uncontrollable on the Hundred Battles Arena, although one was allowed to admit defeat.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, there would not be deaths on the Hundred Battles Arena.
After all, the geniuses who came to take part in the Hundred Battles Arena mostly had significant backgrounds. Behind each person might have a Celestial Deity powerhouse. Really killing the other party, there would be no end to future troubles.
However, each Hundred Battles Arena would also have situations where casualties appeared.
With Jian Ping's identity, wanting to find Ye Yuan's group was naturally not a difficult thing. When he knew that Ye Yuan and Xiahou Yun were grouped together, he was immediately overjoyed.
This grouping, Extreme Light Imperial City would naturally make some considerations in-advanced and have the powerful contestants avoid each other.
And Xiahou Yun was naturally this group's number one seed.
When he learned that Ye Yuan was only Second Firmament Divine Lord, he said with a disdainful look, "Brother Jian Ping is looking down on Xiahou Yun too much. Killing a Second Firmament Divine Lord also needs to have me take action?"
Jian Ping said with a solemn look: "Brother Xiahou mustn't underestimate him. Even though this kid is just Second Firmament Divine Lord, his combat power is astonishing. His strength isn't beneath mine!"
The moment these words came out, Xiahou Yun's face revealed a look of surprise.
Although Jian Ping's combat strength was not considered strong, he was at any rate a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse too.
A Second Firmament Divine Lord could actually cross three minor realms to face his enemy?
Xiahou Yun's face revealed an amused look as he said with a smile, "Oh? Such an interesting opponent, this Xiahou Yun have to experience it. However, Junior Sister Meng Qing's matter will be entrusted to Brother Jian Ping."
Jian Ping patted his c.h.e.s.t and said, "Relax, Master still pays a lot of attention to me, this disciple. This bit of request is naturally nothing difficult."
Jian Ping sneered in his heart: Ye Yuan, I'll see if you still don't die this time!
Xiahou Yun was Sixth Firmament Divine Lord. Destruction law had tremendous destructive powers. With Ye Yuan's strength, it was totally impossible to win.
...
Inside the Death Cultivation Space, Ye Yuan's sweat was like rain, currently fighting to the death with his projection.
The projection was still as strong as ever.
It was just too bad that he never won once.
Looking closely, these two people actually had their eyes closed.
The two people entered the Selfless Realm at the same time!
During these seven years, Ye Yuan threw himself into frenzied cultivation.
The battle this time was different from in the past, he must get first place!
Hence, he also devoted more effort.
His cultivation intensity, normal people were completely unable to imagine.
Even though he pledged to Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord in sincerity and solemness that he would definitely get first place, he did not look down on the geniuses this time.
If Ye Yuan's current strength reached Fourth Firmament Divine Vortex, he could naturally sweep across those in the same rank.
Whatever Fifth Firmament, Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, if he smacked a palm over, they would be completely annihilated.
It was just too bad that he was just Second Firmament Divine Lord currently.
The spiritual energy that Ye Yuan needed to break through a minor realm currently could be rated as terrifying. He could not break through during this short period.
But these few years of bitter cultivation coupled with the supplementation of medicinal pills, his realm already reached peak Second Firmament Divine Lord.
Ye Yuan knew that the opponents this time were very strong. Just the Sixth Firmament Divine Lords were quite a few. Furthermore, their combat strengths were all uncommon.
Among peers, they all had no opponents.
Furthermore, among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords, it was also hard to guarantee that some powerful existence would not pop out.
Since the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord warned him many times, it clearly showed that the geniuses in these several hundred cities were not that simple.
With Ye Yuan's present strength, facing off against Sixth Firmament Divine Lords was still somewhat taxing.
Hence, he was seeking breakthroughs in the power of laws.
In these seven years, Ye Yuan already cultivated Sword Dao laws to the realm of Fourth Firmament grand completion inside the World Suppressing Stele's space.
It was too bad that spatial laws did not break through.
Third Firmament spatial laws were too fleeting and ephemeral!
Even with Ye Yuan's talent, he still had no clues after fumbling about for several hundred years.
Hence, he entered the Death Cultivation Space time and again, attempting to break through.
"Jeje, you want to comprehend spatial laws? Dream on! Come one day, you'll die at my …" The projection laughed strangely but suddenly stopped.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan's sword drew a cutting edge, breaching his defenses, directly cutting him in half!
Carrying intense unwillingness, the clone died once more. "I-Impossible!"
Dustless said with joy, "Heaven rewards the faithful, you finally comprehended Third Firmament spatial laws!"
Ye Yuan panted for a while and said, "Yeah, it's too hard! Those able to comprehend spatial laws are all amazingly talented people!"
Dustless said, "That's of course! Since ancient times, anyone who comprehended spatial laws, those were all people whose name shakes a region, their reputation extremely ill.u.s.trious."
Ye Yuan said with joy, "Spatial laws are indeed powerful! This Third Firmament cultivating to the realm of grand completion should be able to tear apart space, right? The Misty Sword Art that fused Third Firmament spatial laws, in terms of power, it shouldn't lose to the Nirvana Seal anymore! Heh heh, I'm somewhat looking forward to the Hundred Battles Arena! Wonder if any opponent who can excite me will appear!"
Chapter 1715 - First Blood
In the enormous martial arts arena, it was overcrowded.
Extreme Light Imperial City specially constructed a large-scale martial arts arena in order to host the once-every-300-years Hundred Battles Arena.
In the center of the martial arts arena, eight large-scale rings were built.
At this time, the eight rings were all divided into four small arenas, the contestants were all raring to have a go.
The ones who signed up for the competition this time were a total of 3600 over people.
Dividing into eight groups, each group's competition was carried out independently.
Ye Yuan was placed in the sixth group, Ning Tianping was placed in the eighth group.
The moment Ye Yuan entered the field, he attracted a wave of ridicule.
"Are my eyes failing me? A Second Firmament Divine Lord actually dares to come and take part in the Hundred Battles Arena too?"
"Hahaha! He's a genius! Geniuses naturally want to obtain the Profound Secrets Pavilion's recognition."
"Truly overestimating his own ability! Tsk tsk, if I can run into him in the first round, how good would it be?"
...
In many people's eyes, Ye Yuan already became a piece of fatty meat.
Whether they could enter the next round or not, it depended on whether they could encounter suckers like Ye Yuan.
Among the geniuses who signed up, the vast ma
jority of the realms were concentrated from Third Firmament Divine Lord to Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. Second Firmament Divine Lords and Sixth Firmament Divine Lords were extremely few.
Encountering a Second Firmament Divine Lord, it was tantamount to being sent into the second round.
Of course, those who had this kind of thinking were mostly those Third Firmament and Fourth Firmament Divine Lords.
Truly reaching Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, one was naturally disdainful to take advantage of this kind of bargain.
"This bunch of guys is truly reckless and blind!" Ning Tianping said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, no need to bother with them. These people are merely accompanying the crown prince to study. You go ahead. Do your best and strive to get the first place."
Ning Tianping's luck was better, the group he was put in did not have Sixth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses.
If Ning Tianping performed splendidly, he might be able to get the first place in his group.
After all, what Ning Tianping obtained was a True God inheritance, while these geniuses, the vast majority did not have True God inheritances.
Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "Being grilled by Your Excellency all day, I was abused until I even doubted life. No idea what extent I can achieve this time either."
These few years, Ning Tianping's only opponent was Ye Yuan.
Fighting with Ye Yuan, that was really an extremely painful experience.
That was an existence that could not be defeated no matter how he fought!
But it was also precisely because of Ye Yuan's existence that Ning Tianping could give it his all and go all out each time.
It was also because of this that his martial techniques and laws comprehension advanced by leaps and bounds.
Even Mo Lifei was also amazed by this disciple's improvement speed.
However, he also witnessed Ye Yuan's might even more.
No wonder Ye Yuan looked down on his inheritance.
Very soon, the first round arena match began.
The first round competition, the strength of the contestants who took the field had a wide disparity, The fights also progressed very quickly.
