Chapter 968 Can a Pet Be Chosen?
Ding Hao ignored everyone and came to the gold divine pillar not far from Yu Miejue and the other two. He took out a rush cus.h.i.+on from his storage s.p.a.ce, sat down with his back against the gold divine pillar, and began to regulate his Qi. He slowly restored the Qi he had consumed before. A faint silver light lingered around his body, and the Icing Qi in the air suddenly got thick.
It turned out that after winning in the golden fighting ring, the winner would be teleported back to the Gold Divine Hall.
This had further confirmed some people’s speculation—there must be more than one such Gold Divine Hall. There were several thousand masters who appeared in the void of the cave and the pa.s.sageways of the labyrinth. They should have been teleported to different Gold Divine Halls by the previous golden light.
The only purpose of doing so was to let all the people keep killing each other?
The keyword of the Battle of the Chosen seemed to be the word Chosen.
Could it be that amongst so many masters, only the final victor would be able to obtain the true Immortal Artifact?
If this was the case, it would be a disaster for the creatures of all the clans.
Some people glanced at Ding Hao.
They wanted to know what would happen on the golden fighting ring in addition to the battle. Everyone could see through the crystal screen that there seemed to be some kind of sound hint on the golden fighting ring. After the battle ended, the crystal screen would dim. The winner would stay on the golden fighting ring for about 30 breaths. During this time, did anything else happen?
However, Ding Hao’s performance just then was so amazing that no one dared to come up rashly.
Soon, another golden light fell from the dome of the divine hall. Among more than a hundred people, a master from the Sea Clan was teleported away. Just like before, the crystal screen in the center of the divine hall lit up, and this time, there was a vast sea of blood. The red sun was about to disappear from the coastline of the West Sea, and a huge gold branch was floating in the sea of blood. It was about a hundred meters wide and a thousand meters long. It could serve as a fighting ring.
A master from the Ceroman Clan also appeared on the gold branch.
They tested each other’s strength for a short period of time and started fighting. The result of the battle was inevitable.
The battle lasted a little longer. In the end, the master from the Sea Clan paid a huge price to kill the master from the Ceroman Clan. Large pieces of the latter’s bones fell into the sea of blood and were instantly melted into ashes.
The master from the Sea Clan was covered in blood. Looking at the surging crimson sea, he suddenly thought of something and threw a halberd, which was a magical weapon, to the sea. The moment the halberd left the area of the gold branch, waves of blood rushed up to the sky like sharks, swallowing the halberd.
Many people in the Gold Divine Hall exclaimed.
They thought that there was no restriction formation on the golden fighting ring in this environment, so one might take the chance to leave this terrible place. Unexpectedly, there was still no solution. It seemed that anything that was leaving the surface of the gold branch would be swallowed and melted by the crimson seawater.
Ding Hao had also stopped regulating his Qi. He stood up and looked at the crystal screen.
The battle was over and the crystal screen dimmed.
Soon, a golden light flashed, and the master from the Sea Clan, who was seriously injured, was teleported back to the Gold Divine Hall.
Immediately, dozens of other masters from the Sea Clan surrounded him and protected him. The Whaleton Warrior, who had been following the Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan, was among them. He should be the most powerful of all the masters of the Sea Clan. For the time being, he was the leader of all the masters from the Sea Clan in this Gold Divine Hall.
The golden light reappeared.
This time, Zhu Ganglie, the pigman, was chosen.
In the entire Gold Divine Hall, he was the only beastman who was not standing beside Little Ape King. He was white and fat, looking like a rich man. He carried a Nine-Toothed Rake on his shoulder and swayed without any arrogance. He was standing next to Feng Ning, the successor of Sword Daimon, and they looked more like a master and servant.
“Eh? Even a pet can be chosen?” Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Zhu Ganglie, who was originally smiling, suddenly became furious. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he cursed the man. “You are a pet! Your whole family are pets… If you dare to come over, I promise I will not beat you to death.”
Before his voice died away, he had been teleported away by the golden light.
The man was dumbfounded when he was being cursed.
The next moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on the crystal screen in the center of the Gold Divine Hall. They were used to what was about to happen and wanted to know what kind of opponent this pigman would face.
“It’s a G.o.d Realm Master…”
People finally saw Zhu Ganglie’s opponent. He was a G.o.d Realm Master from the G.o.d’s Palace with the nickname Wilderness Saber Inscription.
This man was extremely famous in the Eastern Continent. He had outstanding strength in saber techniques. It was said that he used to be one of the masters of the Western Expeditionary Army of the G.o.d’s Palace. After the incident with the Eldest Divine Prince, he pledged allegiance to the Fake G.o.d Emperor. With the combination of the fire Qi and his powerful saber technique, he had been the commander of the G.o.d’s Palace Army in the Stone Mouth City.
“This pig is really unlucky!” Someone was gloating.
“Even the masters of the Beastman Clan don’t want to a.s.sociate with him. Looks like he is really not popular…” A master from the G.o.d’s Palace teased.
“Saber Inscription will win this battle easily.” The master from the G.o.d’s Palace heaved a sigh of relief.
Hearing such a conversation, the beastmen standing beside Little Ape King sneered. Although they did not like the fat pigman very much, they had to admire his strength. Even the G.o.d in their eyes, Little Ape King, was not sure he could defeat the pig.
Ding Hao also watched the big screen with great curiosity.
He wanted to know how much strength the master from the Beast Clan, who looked like like Pigsy, had. Now that he was able to drive Feng Ning, the successor of Sword Daimon, mad, he should be very powerful. However, it was hard to say whether he could defeat an opponent like Wilderness Saber Inscription.
If he was defeated in this battle, he would die.
After 30 minutes, all the creatures in the Gold Divine Hall widened their eyes.
In particular, the masters of the G.o.d’s Palace who had teased Zhu Ganglie were shocked and incredulous. When they saw Zhu Ganglie’s Nine-Toothed Rake shatter Wilderness Saber Inscription’s divine saber and kill this famous master of the G.o.d’s Palace, they felt extremely embarra.s.sed as if they had eaten a dead mouse.
In the previous battles people had seen, all the masters from the G.o.d’s Palace died.
Originally, the G.o.d’s Palace had overlords.h.i.+p on the Eastern Continent. But in the recent days, it suffered one setback after another, giving people a feeling that it was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, several people from the G.o.d’s Palace had died in the golden fighting rings. That was simply a slap in the face.
Thunder Roar, Ding Ling, was expressionless.
The G.o.d Realm Masters of the G.o.d’s Palace around him were showing killing intents between their eyebrows.
Wilderness Saber Inscription was an important figure in the G.o.d’s Palace. Even if he died on the fighting ring, the G.o.d’s Palace could not accept it. No matter who had killed such an important figure, he must pay the price. If the G.o.d’s Palace left him alone, its prestige would really be completely lost.
Those masters who had made fun of Zhu Ganglie all lowered their heads and hid in the crowd, for fear that this pigman would make trouble for them when he came back.
A golden light flashed.
Zhu Ganglie was teleported back, and there were several wounds on his body.
There was a price to pay for killing a G.o.d Realm Master. Wilderness Saber Inscription’s saber technique was indeed terrible, but it was a pity that his Qi cultivation was suppressed. His real combat strength was only at the middle stage of the Sage Realm. In the end, he was killed by the Nine-Toothed Rake, but he had also injured Zhu Ganglie, leaving several wounds in the latter’s body.
“No effect, no effect at all…” muttered the pigman with dissatisfaction. He went near Feng Ning and sat down to heal his wounds as if n.o.body was around.
Hearing the words “no effect”, Feng Ning had a bad feeling in an instant.
In the distance, the corners of Little Ape King’s mouth could not help twitching.
The most terrible thing in the world was: being pestered by this pigman, fighting day and night with him, and being tired out. After every battle, Zhu Ganglie muttered the two words “no effect”. Since he had made no breakthrough in the magical power of 36 Dipper Stars, there would be an even crazier battle.
In fact, if Feng Ning and Little Ape King could beat this pig to death, they would have done so long ago.
It seemed that Zhu Ganglie also regarded the life-and-death Battle of the Chosen in the golden fighting ring as a chance for him to make a breakthrough in the magical power of 36 Dipper Stars. Unfortunately, killing Wilderness Saber Inscription did not inspire him at all.
The moment Zhu Ganglie sat down, dozens of figures surrounded him.
The leader was Thunder Roar, Ding Ling.
The masters of the G.o.d’s Palace looked at Zhu Ganglie with hostility, and their killing intents were surging in the void.
“A life for a life.” Ding Ling looked at Zhu Ganglie and said indifferently, “I’ll give you a chance to fight back. A master from the G.o.d’s Palace couldn’t die in vain.”
However, Zhu Ganglie did not even look at him.
Feng Ning was holding an ordinary steel long sword in his arms. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Go away!” Judging from his demeanor, he looked down upon the several dozens of Absolute Superiors in front of him.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare you speak to His Highness like that?” A Semi G.o.d Realm Master from the G.o.d’s Palace smirked. He took a step forward and his hand turned metallic. He struck out with his palm and said, “I’ll send you to the h.e.l.l!”
Feng Ning was still holding the sword in his arms without moving a little.
Just as the palm of the Semi G.o.d Realm Master was about to land on Feng Ning’s body, something incredible suddenly happened. A bolt of golden lightning suddenly struck down from the dome of the Gold Divine Hall and fell on the master from the G.o.d’s Palace with a loud bang.
In an instant, he was turned into a piece of charcoal.
There was a pungent smell of scorched meat in the air.
Feng Ning fanned the air in front of him slightly. The piece of human-shaped charcoal collapsed and scattered like a sand sculpture in the wind.
Ding Ling and the other masters from the G.o.d’s Palace looked extremely embarra.s.sed in an instant.
At this moment, everyone understood that this was a punishment made by the power of the rules. In the beginning, the Semi G.o.d Realm Master was killed by lightning when he tried to break through the walls. In the Gold Divine Hall, anyone who violated the rules would be mercilessly killed. Obviously, killing each other within the same Gold Divine Hall was also one of the actions that violated the rules.
“The G.o.d’s Palace will come for you.” Ding Ling glanced at Zhu Ganglie in a vicious manner. He then looked at Feng Ning and added, “And you.”
The former simply ignored him.
The latter shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
