Chapter 992: The Leader of the Heaven’s Favorites Palace
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The cultivation world is vast with an extremely high population. Based on data collected by the Palace, there were at least a few hundred billion people.
Using this astronomical figure as a guide, there’s only one Heaven’s Favorite out of several million. For there to be a few hundred thousand people was normal.
Therefore, Ling Xian was okay with this. He could only exclaim at how tempting this compet.i.tion was and how it was able to attract so many talents from all over the world.
Amongst the shadows, a few silhouettes stood out. They were like leaders of the world, extremely attention-s.n.a.t.c.hing and powerful.
There were familiar faces and also unfamiliar ones. But without exceptions, they were all powerhouses of the original level and these people were true undefeatable figures!
“One… two… there are nine!”
Staring at those who were the peak of the original level, Ling Xian’s irises constricted. Shock was written all over him.
He knew that there would be original levels at the undefeatable realm when he heard about this compet.i.tion. But he didn’t think there would be nine of them.
These aren’t normal Heaven’s Favorites. They are nine original levels at the undefeatable realm!
Anyone would be surprised at this. As much as this is shocking, he also had a high desire to fight.
“This is better. If there are far too few then the number one t.i.tle would be meaningless. Only when once defeats all can one be named number one!”
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips lifted. His eyes were full of a desire to fight.
At the same time, the nine powerhouses noticed Ling Xian’s gaze and looked over at him.
The moment their eyes met, a wave of electricity weaved between them. The atmosphere of this place turned heavy!
These people were calling out to their Qi in unison, generating a terrifying storm that swept around in all four directions!
“Interesting.”
Ling Xian smiled and swept out his Qi as well. His own Qi fought against the other 9’s.
HOMMM!
After an earth splitting rumble, the 10 powerhouses’ energy clashed into each other. It was never targeting anyone in particular, but engulfing all the powerhouses together.
This changed the expression on all the normal Heaven’s Favorites. They all retreated subconsciously. What could they do? The 10 powerhouses were all so mighty that n.o.body in their own generation could stop them!
Even if a real immortal was here, they wouldn’t be able to stop these powerhouses.
The cultivators on the weaker side were already pale in the face with blood dripping down their chin.
This has proven just how terrifying these powerhouses at the original level were!
HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!
Rumble after rumble froze in midair. It looked like n.o.body could defeat the other with Qi alone.
However, everyone refused to take the first step back. Because from a certain point of view, taking the first step meant they acknowledging that they are weak.
Therefore, n.o.body out of the 10 moved an inch. Even if they knew that this would not result in anything, they refused to step back.
Ling Xian did the same.
If n.o.body else stepped back, how could he? Plus, he felt like he was at a critical point fighting against a gush of Qi. It was no time to retreat.
The owner of this Qi was Zhan Cang Sheng.
Currently, his expression was dark as h.e.l.l as he stared at Ling Xian, looking like he could spit fire.
“The immortal sage body, we meet again.” Ling Xian smiled slightly. He looked at ease and collected.
“Hmmph, this time, I want you dead without a grave.” Zhan Cang Sheng’s eyes were dark and cold, full of killer’s intent.
This made Ling Xian’s expression drop and he talked back, “That’s what you said last time. Sadly, you can’t kill me.”
“YOU!”
Zhan Can Sheng was furious. He retracted the Qi he used against the others and targeted Ling Xian.
HOMMM!
When a powerhouse is angry, n.o.body can stop them. Let alone the anger of one with the battle sage body.
Zhan Cang Sheng was unstoppable. Though he was only using his Qi, it remained insanely powerful with the strength to crack the earth!
However, Ling Xian was fearless.
He stood with his hands behind his back and his white robe fluttered. He exploded with an even more violent energy that fought against the powerhouse!
At once, the entire s.p.a.ce began to quake. The clash of the two violent energies exploded, tearing s.p.a.ce and shocking the crowd.
The remaining powerhouses looked over to Ling Xian with nothing but awe.
Other than a selective few, people didn’t know Ling Xian. Now that he was fighting against the battle sage body, they were naturally a little surprised.
However, they were merely a little surprised.
Because all the powerhouses there have the undefeatable mentality. Why would they ever sigh and look down on themselves? Now, all the remaining powerhouses also exploded with an even stronger Qi that shook the world and continued to sweep around!
Instantly, 10 different gushes of energy crisscrossed and broke through. It was like everything around them was a mirror and was easily crushable.
All 10 waves of energy were resisting each other and were at a stalemate. In a short period of time, no winner could be established!
What could they do? Everyone there was a powerhouse and their realms were the same. Qi alone could not identify the winner or loser.
Sadly, they were all arrogant and everyone refused to step back first. Therefore, they all froze in midair in a stalemate. The black hole created from the clas.h.i.+ng of their Qi grew bigger and bigger. So big that even the heaven and earth Dao could not repair it.
If this continues, all of them will get wounded.
“You all should stop.”
Just as the 10 were stuck in a stalemate, an aged and loud voice arose.
At once, an elder appeared in the center point of where the 10 waves of energy met. At once, an even more imposing wave of Qi appeared and fought against the 10 powerhouses.
HOMMM!
There was a loud rumble that sounded like nothing before it. The heavenly light drowned the entire area and nothing could be seen anymore.
After the light dissipated, the elder remained standing in the middle. The 10 powerhouses, however, all retreated seven steps.
This shocked the crowd. To be able to overpower 10 powerhouses, how powerful did one have to be to achieve that?
This person’s capability was to be feared!
“What a terrifying elder.”
Ling Xian’s expression was dark as he found this person to be mysterious like the ocean and utterly unpredictable. It is a cultivator of the designation level!
Or else he would not have been able to fight against 10 powerhouses himself!
Everyone else reacted in the same way. Their expressions were heavy.
“A powerhouse of the original level after all. Even I had to use a bit more energy than usual.”
Staring at Ling Xian and the others, the elder’s eyes were full of admiration. “The Heaven’s Favorites from this generation are great. There are 10 powerhouses here. Eh…”
He paused when he glanced over Huang Jiu Ge, “I was wrong. There’s also a pure-blooded phoenix here. So 11 in total.”
Hearing this, Huang Jiu Ge frowned, as did Ling Xian.
Huang Jiu Ge was in her human form and the elder guessed her cultivation level by merely looking at her.
This capability is truly unpredictable.
“Not bad, not bad, there are many great sprouts here.”
The elder looked over everyone with a smile. He then cleared his throat, “Let me introduce myself. My name is… hmm, I forgot my name. As for who I am, I am the leader of the Heaven’s Favorites Palace.”
Hearing this, Ling Xian was speechless. How could this person forget his own name? But when he heard, the chief of the Palace, he was stunned. He could not believe that this person was the most mysterious existence of Tianzhou.
But after thinking about it, he understood. Other than the leader himself, who else could force 10 other powerhouses to retreat by himself?
“Anyway, the point is, the Compet.i.tion is about to start.”
The smile disappeared from the elder’s face. “Let me tell you the rules.”
