Chapter 547: Iem Turos Power (1/2)
The rest of the cultivators and demon beasts that were still in the Mirror World were instantly teleported out. However, they didn't appear where Krune and the rest were staying. Instead, they were sent back to the side of their protectors, who came along with them. When they looked around and noticed that they were out, they couldn't help but sigh. Some were angry, others sad. Nonetheless, they at least asked their protectors how exactly the others passed. Still, that was of no concern for Krune anymore.
Suddenly, the entire protection formation covering the north of the please began to shrink. A few hundred kilometers away from Krune's group, the ground started to transform. Suddenly, an enormous arena appeared, covering over a hundred kilometers!
Krune and the rest of the participants didn't find it strange. As many tests as there might be, the last five slots will be decided by direct confrontation in the end. Otherwise, the Universes that reached this far would definitely not be satisfied.
Norzulun then stepped forward. In the next second, he was right above the center of the arena. Although he couldn't see anything around him, he knew that everyone was watching him through the multi-universal broadcast.
”Congratulations to everyone who got this far. We have been observing all the competitors, and we are proud to say that they all deserve to be here now. As you can imagine, we will conduct one vs. one battles from now on. First, we will use a bracket system until the top 8 are decided. After that, those last eight will fight each other once. The five with the most victories under their belt will get one of the Dalin Universe Slots.”
”It's a very simple and straightforward method. It will also not leave any doubts about who are the ones who deserve to take one of the five seats in Dalin Universe's Management. Of course, we have a good idea about each participants' strength after observing them during the competition's last three phases. So you don't need to worry, we will use a seed system to separate them so that they will only encounter each other close to the end.”
”Obviously, there is a chance that some of the participants are still hiding a lot of their strength. If that is the case, you can only blame yourself if you are put inside a bracket with a seeded cultivator or demon beast. Still, the chances aren't that big, and even if it happens, it won't be more than two or three participants.”
”Anyway, I'll now announce the name of 16 seeded participants that we think to have the highest abilities.”
”Iem Turo, Dalin Universe, first group.”
”Tarande, Enmatio Universe, secong group.”
”Waka Ulin, Ulin Universe, third group.”
”Tiango, Bondro Universe, fourth group.”
”Sara Qanze, Kaleu Universe...”
”Laka, Kizan Universe, tenth group.”
Laka was the first surprise. That's because different from previous ones, he wasn't a Peak Divine Path Realm demon beast. Instead, he was still in the 8th Stage.
”Karen Zetial, Orchiv Universe, eleventh group...”
”Krune, Luvile Universe, thirteenth group...”
Sure enough, after everything Krune showed in the multi-universal broadcast, no one would believe that he wasn't a seeded participant. Still, everyone watching it couldn't help but feel surprised to see a wisp in there. Not to mention that Krune was still in the 7th Stage of the Divine Path Realm. Everyone was curious about that Purple Tribulation Lightning of his too. Of course, now everyone knows about the Luvile Universe, so his home Universe would soon receive many visitors.
”Hanan Frunkan, Frunkan Universe, Fifteenth group.”
Hanan was the only one in Krune's group that didn't raise any surprise. He is a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner while being at the peak of the Divine Path Realm. After what showed in the Soul World and Mirror World, it was quite acceptable for him to be there.
”Mala, Rarcan Universe, sixteenth group.”
Norzulun then continued.
”With this, we concluded the separation of the seeded participants. We will once again use another time accelerating formation so that everyone can recover to their peak state. We will start the last phase in one hour, so make sure to watch it to the end.”
Krune wasn't that much injured to start with. However, he entered the time formation anyway. Why? Obviously, because he would be able to relax for longer, make some food, and think about what he would do. However, he did not share his food with the others this time.
”You guys ate almost all my food, so I don't have enough for you. Go look for someone else.”
Even Laka was rejected this time, much to his sadness.
The week inside the Time Accelerating Formation quickly passed. With the Universes behind each of the competitors, they didn't lack any pills to heal themselves. So a week was more than enough for everyone to recover to their peak.
Norzulun once against called everyone over.
