The battles on the three life-or-death arenas were fierce and intense, with constant clashes.
These people were extremely dedicated to inheriting the Emperor's legacy, and they displayed all the knowledge they had acquired in their lives, with a dazzling array of moves and secret techniques.
Such a fierce battle did not last long and was quickly resolved.
The Hehuan Sect faced off against the Huanhua Sect. The Huanhua Sect disciples suffered a crushing defeat, while the Hehuan Sect disciples were killed in battle.
The Tianjiao Tower faced off against the Wanshou Sect. The Tianjiao Tower disciples won a pyrrhic victory, while the Wanshou Sect disciples perished in battle.
The Heavenly Sword Sect faced off against the Medicine King Valley. The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect emerged victorious, while the disciples of the Medicine King Valley perished.
In all three battles, one was won and the other lost; none of the three defeated fighters voluntarily admitted defeat.
The three defeated disciples were teleported to an unknown location and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The three who died in battle were also teleported out.
Bai He raised an eyebrow. "Has this teleported us to the next level?"
Yu Yan nodded. "That should be the case according to the rules. They automatically advanced after defeating opponents of the same level."
The battles on the Life and Death Arena were extremely brutal, but none of the Golden Core disciples showed the slightest fear; on the contrary, they eagerly awaited their turn to appear.
Their attention was focused on the victors, and the dead were completely ignored.
Qin Feng sighed. These people were all deeply attracted by the rewards of the Bliss Palace and the allure of the Emperor's inheritance, making it difficult for them to think calmly.
One round ends, and a new round begins.
The same white beam of light selected six people from the six camps to compete in pairs.
The cultivators, who were already eager to try, became even more fervent once they stepped onto the life-or-death arena.
It's a fighting style that completely disregards personal safety and trades injuries for injuries.
The people on stage were fighting fiercely, and the people below cheered along, creating a very lively atmosphere.
Among the one hundred people who passed the first round of selection, there were forty-six Golden Core cultivators, thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators, twelve Deity Transformation cultivators, and six King Realm experts.
Thus, five rounds of battles between Golden Core cultivators had passed, with fifteen advancing and the other fifteen all perishing in the fighting.
Upon seeing this result, even Jiang Yan, who had previously criticized Qin Feng for being timid, frowned.
He looked suspiciously at the life-or-death stage.
This time, Jiang Yan took the initiative to say to Bai He, "Ancestor, something really seems wrong. All fifteen people fought to the death, and not a single one of them admitted defeat."
Bai He pondered for a moment, "It is a bit unusual, but it makes sense. Their combat strength is about the same, and they are unwilling to give up until the very last moment. I'm afraid you and I would do the same."
Jiang Yan still felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find any solid evidence.
The elimination rounds continued. This time, a white beam of light shone on Xiao Fan, while another beam of light shone on Tang Qing of the Hehuan Sect.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan sneered at Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, do you think Tang Qing from my Hehuan Sect will win this time, or will your little friend win?"
Qin Feng replied expressionlessly, "You're destined to lose."
Jiang Yan snorted coldly and said with great confidence:
"Don't speak too confidently. Tang Qing is Tang Yan's younger brother, not an ordinary Golden Core disciple."
Moreover, he is currently at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, while Xiao Fan is only at the early stage. How could he possibly be a match for Tang Qing?
Qin Feng glanced at him calmly, "So what? Cultivation level doesn't represent everything. You can abandon Tang Yan, let alone the good-for-nothing Tang Qing."
The others listened with great interest to Jiang Yan and Qin Feng's verbal exchange, which added to the anticipation for Tang Qing and Xiao Fan's duel.
However, Qin Feng bringing up the old matter again made Bai He blush. He scolded, "Watch carefully, stop talking so much nonsense."
Jiang Yan immediately fell silent, only looking at Xiao Fan with disdain.
Qin Feng ignored him and secretly transmitted his voice to Xiao Fan:
"Xiao Fan, if the situation allows later, give Tang Qing a chance to admit defeat and see how he reacts."
Xiao Fan nodded, then slowly walked towards the arena of life and death.
Tang Qing had been impatient for a long time. Seeing that it was finally his turn, he jumped onto the life-or-death stage with excitement.
Upon reaching the Life and Death Arena, Tang Qing became even more excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was full of confidence and looked down at Xiao Fan.
"Your name is Xiao Fan, right? You did well in the Tower of Pride, but unfortunately you've met me today and this is where you'll stop. The Emperor's inheritance is probably out of your reach."
Xiao Fan didn't know why Tang Qing had such a big problem with him. He had no impression of Tang Qing at all, having only met him once outside Tianjiao City.
He ignored Tang Qing's provocation. The moment he stepped onto the life-or-death arena, he felt his blood boil and his whole body brimming with energy.
This made Xiao Fan wary; something seemed off about this Life and Death Arena, as it could affect a cultivator's temperament and state.
No wonder those people fought so fiercely before; besides the allure of the Emperor's inheritance, the Life and Death Arena also played a part in it.
Xiao Fan wanted to send this message out, but he discovered that the Life and Death Arena isolated the outside world, and the sound could not be transmitted.
However, Qin Feng still noticed something amiss in Xiao Fan's eyes, which made him frown.
Before Xiao Fan could convey anything to Qin Feng, Tang Qing had already arrived with overwhelming force.
Tang Qing felt that he had an advantage in cultivation, and under the encouragement of the Life and Death Arena, he suddenly attacked, his sword flashing coldly as he quickly stabbed towards Xiao Fan.
Facing the approaching enemy, Xiao Fan calmed his mind and focused on fighting the enemy.
Xiao Fan faced Tang Qing, who was charging towards him, and unleashed a powerful backhand slash with his Overlord Slash.
The blades gleamed, their aura soared to the heavens, exuding grandeur and magnificence.
Clang.
Swords clashed.
Tang Qing, who was full of confidence, was cleaved back by Xiao Fan's backhand slash.
