As the pillar of light appeared, all the teams on the shattered continent that were not ranked in the top 100 were eliminated. The remaining teams, seeing the constantly crumbling landscape around them, dared not delay any longer and hurriedly flew towards the direction of the glazed pillar of light.
Within the Burning Heaven Domain, where the Burning Prison Sect's team was located, Yan Lie's crimson hair danced wildly, and the Burning Prison Sect's unique Nine Transformations of Burning Heaven were activated to their fullest extent, with nine fiery prison phantoms roaring behind him:
"Hahaha! We've finally waited for this moment! Those old men in the sect said they would give us a big gift in the final stage of this competition. I want to see what that gift is."
In the Zhenyu Domain, where the Shuiyou Sect team was located, Jiang Xian stood with his hands behind his back, his light blue robe fluttering in the wind.
"I wonder how much of an advantage our Water Nether Sect can gain over the other nine Heavenly Gates with its current strength."
"However, in this competition for the top three positions in the academy, my Water Nether Sect is determined to secure one."
In the Sandstorm Domain, where the Holy Spirit Sect team was located, Bai Yunxin, dressed in a plain white robe, looked like a fairy. In this chaotic and noisy scene, she was like a white lotus blooming on the edge of a cliff, aloof and independent from the world.
Her expression was serene, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, but her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were fixed on the ranking screen before her.
"Lingyuan Sect? Our Holy Spirit Sect was blessed by heaven and earth in the last competition for academies and won first place."
"I suppose we'll be no exception this time!"
In the Wanlin Domain, where the Qingmu Sect team was located, Mu Qianran crossed her arms over her chest. Her emerald green clothes contrasted sharply with the surrounding crumbling earth, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
"Hmph!" He snorted, his tone full of resentment and indignation. "Qin Luo, who was ranked first? And the Shuiyou Sect, one of the three lower sects in the previous competition? They actually eliminated one team from my Qingmu Sect."
"I'd like to see if they can still be so arrogant in front of me, Mu Qianran! It's time to reshuffle the rankings!"
Within the Xuanbing Domain, far beyond the entrance to the vanished ruins.
"Cough cough... I didn't expect this soul tribulation to be more dangerous than I imagined. Even with the help of the Primordial Ancient Tree, I almost perished here."
Yun Yin of the Misty Sect stood on the snow, his clothes fluttering as he looked pale. However, his aura at this moment far exceeded the scope of the Spirit Tribulation Realm, and he had already reached the level of a First-Rank Saint!
However, he was well aware that although he had only managed to break through to the Saint Realm with the help of the Primordial Ancient Tree, the breakthrough process was not smooth, and his Origin Sea was still on the verge of collapse and disintegration.
Their strength is also significantly lower than that of ordinary saints.
"But that should be enough to deal with these Spirit Tribulation Realm cultivators in the academy competition, right?"
......
As the various Heavenly Gates headed towards the central area, Qin Luo and his group were no exception.
Xia Zihan and several members of the Spirit Phoenix Sect flew at the forefront, their movements light yet sharp. Dongfang Yingluo, who was accompanying her, could even sense the faint resentment emanating from Xia Zihan.
This made Dongfang Yingluo turn around and glance at Qin Luo, shaking her head as if to say two words:
Serves you right!
Not far away, Qin Luo looked helplessly at the three women beside him, Murong Liyue and the others, who were perfectly in sync and deliberately keeping him at arm's length.
Murong Liyue's eyes were cold and aloof as she stared straight ahead, as if Qin Luo were invisible. Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu, standing beside her, followed closely behind Murong Liyue, maintaining a clear distance from Qin Luo, their expressions carrying an indescribable awkwardness.
Even Yi Ting obediently stayed by Su Xuan's side at this moment, giving Qin Luo a helpless look.
It's no wonder they isolated Qin Luo so tacitly. Anyone who suddenly finds out they have two more sisters wouldn't be able to process it in a short time.
Putting Xia Zihan aside, just moments ago she had finally calmed down when Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu arrived and saw Qin Luo scratching the back of his head, telling her that there were other women involved...
The situation for Yi Ting and Su Yaoyue was somewhat delicate.
Yi Ting had always been confident in her figure, but her inner peace was instantly shattered when she saw Huang Lu and Su Yaoyue. Although Huang Lu's figure was slightly inferior to hers, she had her own unique charm, while Su Yaoyue's voluptuous figure, which was much more prominent than her own, made Yi Ting feel a sense of crisis.
This disparity made Yiting feel extremely uncomfortable. In the end, she couldn't hold back any longer. A stubborn glint flashed in her eyes as she secretly clashed with Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu.
Yi Ting took the initiative, her words seemingly gentle, but they inadvertently concealed a sharp edge, attempting to overwhelm her opponent with her imposing manner.
However, Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu were not to be trifled with either. They quickly sensed Yi Ting's hostility and cleverly cooperated to retaliate.
Their responses were subtle yet sharp, leaving no room for error, with every word precisely hitting Yiting's sore spots.
Yi Ting gradually realized that she was no match for Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu on her own. As the battle intensified, she felt increasingly powerless. Forced into a corner, Yi Ting made a desperate decision to drag Murong Liyue into the fray.
She subtly and cleverly recounted the situation where Murong Liyue had pushed them out to deal with the situation, attempting to divert Su Yaoyue and Huang Lu's attention.
Murong Liyue absolutely could not take the blame for this, and now she was being implicated by Yi Ting for no reason, so she did not hesitate to point the finger at Qin Luo.
This was the scene Qin Luo encountered when he returned with Xia Zihan. Fortunately, with the final stage approaching, the women didn't engage in open or covert struggles, but instead tacitly blamed all their grievances on him...
Amidst this tense atmosphere, Qin Luo and his companions, each with their own thoughts, finally arrived at the central area.
What came into view was a strange and magnificent sight:
This place was isolated by an endless glass light curtain, which was like a huge, semi-transparent barrier, stretching across everyone's eyes.
The glass screen shimmered with multicolored light, rippling gently like water, sometimes hazy like a dream, and sometimes clear enough to reflect everyone's faces, as if connecting two completely different worlds.
As soon as Qin Luo and the others approached, the captain tokens they carried automatically floated into the air without their control.
The token flashed continuously in mid-air, echoing the glass light screen and emitting a soft humming sound.
Immediately afterwards, dazzling beams of light shot out from within the light screen, precisely enveloping everyone.
In the light, everyone felt their bodies lighten, drawn by an invisible yet gentle force, and involuntarily moved towards the interior of the light curtain.
As the light drew closer, everyone's vision gradually became clear.
Behind the light curtain lies a strange space.
There is no ground here, but rather a hundred translucent crystals that emit a faint glow.
Beneath these crystals, in the shattered void, an irregularly shaped sphere floated silently.
The teams on the field were all astonished when they saw the sphere:
"This, this... is a primordial core that only forms at the birth of a very rare continent?!"
