During the not-too-long wait, Qu Bai, Mu Ziyan, and Bai Fei emerged from the Nine Kings Secret Realm one after another.

Having gone through life and death together, much of the initial animosity between the seven had diminished. Of course, the most significant factor was the unexpected turn of events, which caused both Lin Sanmo and Bai Fei to abandon their ambitions to compete for the title.

Therefore, everyone shared their experiences in the Nine Kings Secret Realm without any reservations.

Mu Ziyan encountered the only female Word Spirit King among the Nine Kings, while Bai Fei encountered King Qin Guang.

The experiences of these two people further convinced Shen Qian that the Nine Kings Secret Realm was indeed distributed according to some kind of rule.

Mu Ziyan goes without saying. It is said that King Qin Guang is named after the first of the ten courts of the underworld, and he cultivates the supreme path of life and death, which perfectly matches Bai Fei's Yin-Yang Fighting Body.

Therefore, he became even more resentful before sinking.

Not only Lin Sanmo, but Qu Bai also encountered both King Taiyi and King Zhouyi at the same time!

Taiyi King was a genius in engineering, and Zhouyi King was skilled in the profound and mysterious arts of destiny. These two kings were extremely special among the first nine kings.

Not to mention Chen Qian, who was secretly grumbling, even the others felt a little envious.

The only thing Shen Qian couldn't be sure of was whether the Nine Kings' inheritance that the six of them had received was the same as what he had received back then.

However, this clearly involves everyone's privacy, and it would be impolite to ask further.

While everyone was still immersed in the opportunities they had gained in the Nine Kings Secret Realm, a vast and indifferent voice suddenly resounded throughout the world.

...

Deep within the battlefield of the Fifth Heaven, in a certain ruin.

A man and a woman, back to back, were struggling to hold on amidst the onslaught of a group of tricolor giants.

Their auras were fluctuating, and their vital energy was nearly depleted, clearly indicating that they had suffered serious injuries.

After struggling to repel another attack from a tri-colored giant, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Second brother, I'm afraid we have no choice but to give up. These tri-colored giants are terrifyingly strong. I'm about to collapse."

Upon hearing this, the young man glanced somewhat unwillingly at the long sword stuck in the soil in the center of the ruins.

The longsword appeared rusty, yet it exuded a certain ancient and mysterious charm.

What made the young man somewhat desperate was that although the long sword seemed to be only a few hundred meters away from him, he would have to face at least dozens of tri-colored giants along the way.

Although he broke through to the half-step Mountain and Sea realm in the Nine Heavens Cup, his strength was still somewhat lacking.

"I'm still too weak."

Cao Qian sighed inwardly.

He was defeated by Zhao Keyi at the Nine Heavens Cup, and later witnessed the earth-shattering battle between Shen Qian and Wang Shuo. Deeply affected, Cao Qian entered the Nine Heavens battlefield this time to hone his skills.

Heeding Cao Yi's advice, he did not get involved in the disputes among the various universities. After reuniting with Cao Wen, he focused on exploring the Nine Heavens Battlefield itself, which yielded fruitful results.

However, after the changes in the Nine Heavens Battlefield, the entire battlefield suddenly became dangerous, and it was already the limit for Cao Qian and Cao Wen to reach the depths of the Fifth Heaven Battlefield.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Cao Qian was about to tell Cao Wen to give up when a grand and majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the world.

"The battle is over, the Nine Heavens Battlefield is now closed!"

Cao Qian and Cao Wen were both taken aback.

At the same time, the three-colored giants who were surrounding and killing the two suddenly stopped moving. As some invisible force receded like a tide, they gradually turned into still stone figures.

An extremely strong repulsive force began to emerge between heaven and earth, as if trying to squeeze the two people out of this space.

"it's over?"

As the surrounding scenery began to blur, Cao Qian, his expression changing, rushed forward with all his might and finally grabbed the ancient longsword stuck in the ground at the last moment.

The next moment, space distorted, and Cao Qian and Cao Wen were both sent out.

In a daze, the two saw seven bright stars rising slowly in the sky, one of which was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.

The same scene was happening all over the Nine Heavens Battlefield. Young martial artists who were fighting had no time to react before they were forcibly sent out of the Nine Heavens Battlefield.

...

Beyond the battlefield of the Nine Heavens, that vast and majestic voice also resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The nine continents floating in the air began to close in mist, and figures that had been teleported out appeared out of thin air on the plaza.

All the martial artists from the mountains and seas who came to watch the battle, as well as the teachers and students from various universities, were in an uproar. No one expected that the Nine Heavens Battle would end so abruptly at this moment.

Almost every martial artist who has just emerged will be immediately surrounded by their master or members of the martial arts department, who will ask them about the situation of the Nine Heavens Battlefield.

But everything remained the same.

Apart from the ten missing people, the others seem to have been unaffected.

"What is that?!"

Just then, a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm pointed to the sky and exclaimed, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Countless people looked up and were astonished to see an extremely thick and enormous stone pillar in the sky above the Nine Heavens Battlefield, seemingly rising from the end of the heavens. On that stone pillar, adorned with carvings of dragons, phoenixes, and various mythical beasts, one golden name after another was appearing.

"This is the final ranking of the Nine Heavens Battle!"

Someone immediately realized what was happening.

So more people stared wide-eyed at the stone pillar.

The rankings were displayed from bottom to top. When people saw that the last person was a martial artist from a third-rate university, ranked over 19,000, many people sighed.
