Outside the Seven Absolutes Tower, Chi Yuan's spatial laws caused another uproar, even shaking the resolve of Chi Yang, who had always believed in Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan's abilities have far exceeded the normal range. Any one of his abilities would be a level that even top geniuses would find difficult to reach, yet Chi Yuan has mastered them all. Is this something that can be done simply by talent?
Chi Yang was in a state of turmoil. If the worst-case scenario were to occur, how should he face Chi Yuan?
Inside the Seven Absolutes Tower, the trial participants on the city wall were all silent in shock.
At first, no one believed that Chi Yuan could win five rounds of elimination matches and become the champion. Even You Rong Qingyan and You Rong Qingxian were not optimistic.
After all, no matter how strong Chi Yuan's combat power is, his total spiritual power at the first level of the Spirit Sect is not enough to support him in a series of high-intensity battles. How could he win five battles in one go?
But now no one doubts that Chi Yuan can win the title of champion. With the spatial laws and the Soul Devouring Rotation Array, Chi Yuan's spiritual power is sufficient to ensure that he has plenty of spiritual power. With the entire Tianyuan Battlefield as his support, who below the Venerable rank can defeat Chi Yuan?
Yun Teng, Wu Ban, and Jiang Yi had all lost their confidence. Chi Yuan had even mastered the laws of space; who could possibly defeat him? This one move alone was enough to leave them utterly powerless to resist.
“Fellow Daoists, you have all witnessed the strength of this demon. Only by joining forces can we destroy him. I hope that you three can lend me a hand during the final arena stage and work together to kill this demon and rid the righteous path of a great scourge.”
At this moment, Ye Chen transmitted his voice to Yun Teng and the other two.
The three men looked grave upon hearing this. With Chi Yuan's strength, only by joining forces could they pose a threat to him. However, if they were to actually kill Chi Yuan, they would be completely siding with Ye Chen.
This would put them in danger, since Chi Yuan dared to kill Li Cangling, and he dared to kill them too. If they lost the fight, they would die at Chi Yuan's hands.
"Brother Ye, this person is too strong. I'm afraid no one below the Venerable level can defeat him. Even if we join forces, I'm afraid we still can't beat him."
Wu Ban responded tactfully.
Yun Teng and Jiang Yi expressed the same view. No matter how arrogant they were, they would not believe that they could defeat someone who had mastered the laws of space.
Moreover, the final stage is not a five-on-one battle. Chi Yuan also has helpers. At that time, Chi Yuan only needs to have his helpers hold them off, and he can defeat them one by one. They will not have any chance to join forces to deal with Chi Yuan.
Furthermore, even if they could deal with Chi Yuan, they couldn't easily take sides. No matter how much suspicion Chi Yuan had, it was still just speculation and there was no concrete evidence. How could they make decisions on their own and directly take sides?
Ye Chen did not agree to join their holy land. Even if Ye Chen were willing to join one of them, they would only have a one-third chance. How could they stand on the opposite side of Chi Yuan for the sake of that one-third chance?
"What if a Venerable One were to participate in the battle?"
Ye Chen suddenly said.
Venerable One?
The three looked on with suspicion. Wasn't this trial only open to those below the Venerable level? Where did this Venerable come from?
Knowing that the three would have doubts, Ye Chen immediately explained, and the three were immediately relieved and did not question it. After all, without a Venerable-level combatant to fight, how could Ye Chen dare to have murderous intent towards Chi Yuan? That would be a matter of life and death.
Even with Venerable-level combatants in the fight, they still didn't dare to take sides. Who knew if Chi Yuan had any means to contend with a Venerable?
Ye Chen understood the three men's concerns and said, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to worry. I don't want you to attack this demon. You just need to hold off his helpers. Guiying alone is enough to deal with this demon."
Upon hearing this, the three of them dispelled their concerns and readily agreed.
Their purpose in participating in the trial was to protect Ye Chen and do him a favor. By holding off Chi Yuan's helpers, they could avoid taking sides and achieve their goal at the same time. Why not?
"I'll confirm again, is no one going to challenge Fu Feng?"
"Old Ta spoke in a loud voice."
After Ruan Haikuo's defeat, no one dared to challenge Chi Yuan anymore. Knowing they couldn't win, no one wanted to embarrass themselves by going up there.
Elder Ta asked again, and seeing that no one was willing to fight, he directly announced that Chi Yuan had won the title of Grand Champion.
Afterwards, seemingly not wanting Chi Yuan to continue to occupy the advantage of the Tianyuan Battlefield, Elder Ta moved the arena to the outer battlefield and then announced the start of the final arena stage.
The final stage is divided into one defensive camp and three offensive camps, with five people in each camp.
The champion, as the defending team, has the right to choose teammates first, but this requires the consent of the chosen person. If the other party refuses, that person cannot be chosen.
At this moment, Chi Yuan was the first to choose his teammates on the defensive side.
Of course, Rong Qingyan should be chosen. She is his woman, and her combat strength is in the top tier. There is no reason not to choose her.
"Young master, Qingxian is quite strong too, let's select her as well."
You Rong Qingyan pleaded with Chi Yuan, recommending that he help You Rong Qingxian who had suffered a major injury. She was unaware of this and thought she could help if she could, since she didn't mind sharing a master with You Rong Qingxian.
Chi Yuan looked at You Rong Qingxian and met her expectant gaze. Before he could speak, You Rong Qingxian flashed to his side and said in a sweet voice, "I'm willing to be your teammate!"
"Don't hold me back."
Chi Yuan said calmly.
"You, you, you... I was once your master, am I as worthless as you think?"
You Rongqingxian stomped her foot in feigned annoyance and said, "If you're really worried, let me deal with Ye Chen. I can't beat others, but I can beat Ye Chen, right? I already dealt with him on the fourth floor. If someone hadn't stopped me, you wouldn't even be able to see him now."
"Just don't hold me back."
Chi Yuan glanced at You Rong Qingxian, then looked at the others. There were still two candidates, but he didn't know who to choose.
"Big brother, how about I be your teammate? This is also Yunmeng's idea."
Feng Ge stepped forward and volunteered, saying that before Yun Meng withdrew from the trial, she had specifically instructed him to stand on the same side as Chi Yuan, and he dared not disobey the goddess's wishes.
"Can."
Chi Yuan nodded. Although Feng Ge had offended him, she was not hostile. Since she had already admitted defeat and apologized, he was too lazy to hold it against Feng Ge for the sake of his master.
As for letting Feng Ge join, it's purely because Feng Ge is strong enough. With his cultivation at the eighth level of the Spirit Sect, when he unleashes his full power, his combat strength can at least reach the peak of the Spirit Sect, or even half a step Spirit Venerable. He is definitely not weaker than anyone else present except for him.
There was one last candidate. Chi Yuan ignored Yun Teng, Wu Ban, and Jiang Yi, looked at the group of Yingyue Sect elders, and finally his gaze fell on Yan Li: "Elder Yan, are you willing to join my camp?"
"Haha, I couldn't be happier to have that."
Yan Li laughed loudly and, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of Ruan Haikuo and other elders of the Yingyue Sect, came to Chi Yuan's side.
The defensive formation was thus completed.
