Chapter 1776: The Heavenly Prince Di Jing Gave Up? (1/2)
The most intense emotion of all was his hatred and pain towards the heavens and everything in it.
Similarly, the other Solitude Emperor Palace’s Ancestors eyes were a little dim with grief, and anguish was etched on their faces.
The pillar of their hope, the Solitude Emperor Palace’s most talented genius, the Solitude Emperor’s Disciple… was dead!
Dead! Gudu Nanying’s mind went completely blank.
They had been fantasizing that Gudu Canyang would perform outstandingly in this time’s Battle of the Heavenly Court, entering the top thirty ranks! He was on the path to bringing glory and honor to their Solitude Emperor Palace, but now, their hopes were shattered.
They hadn’t even entered the second day of the Battle of the Heavenly Court.
Like Gudu Wuyi and the Nine Dragons Emperor Palace’s Chen Huoan, the Brightness Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Chen Wenxin was staring at the forty-sixth place on the rankings board with a dark and sullen expression.
His personal disciple, Sun Fei’s name, had just disappeared from that spot a second ago.
Sun Fei was his sole personal disciple, and he looked favorably on him. Although Sun Fei’s talent couldn’t compare to the Brightness Emperor’s Disciple Lan Tailong, Sun Fei’s talent and potential definitely ranked in the top three among the Brightness Emperor Palace’s younger generation of disciples!
Moreover, Sun Fei’s strength was in the top five among the Brightness Emperor Palace’s participating disciples. Sun Fei had a high chance of advancing into the top fifty in this Battle of the Heavenly Court, but now, he was dead!
Brightness Emperor Palace’s Ancestor Chen Wenqian comforted him, “Rest assured. We will investigate Fei’er death. If Fei’er’s death is unrelated to any Heavenly Demons or devils, I won’t let his death be meaningless.”
“Elder Brother, you mean…?!” Chen Wenxin trembled, and his eyes widened as if he had thought of something.
Chen Wenqian was his elder brother of the same blood.
Both of them were high-level Emperor Realm experts, which was rare in the Divine World.
Chen Wenqian’s eyes glimmered as he added, “Sun Fei and the Solitude Emperor Palace’s Gudu Canyang, Nine Dragons Emperor Palace’s Chen Zhuang, and the Thousand Venoms Emperor Palace’s disciple Jiang De died around the same time. I feel this is not a coincidence.”
Chen Wenxin blanked for a moment. In the next second, a ruthless light flickered across his eyes as he said, “If it’s someone who dares to provoke our Brightness Emperor Palace by killing our disciples, then this person is courting death. I will make sure this person regrets living in this world!”
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
A total of five days had passed since the start of the preliminary round.
During this time, as the gap between points widened further, the changes on the rankings board were much less frequent and had become more stable. This was especially true for the top one hundred names, where there were almost no changes.
The most frequent changes happened between the first and second place.
Huang Xiaolong and the Heavenly Prince Di Jing were still battling for first place.
Even with the support of the Radiance Divine Scepter and his Innumerable Buddha Supreme Godhead, Huang Xiaolong hadn’t yet suppressed Di Jing completely.
But this did not disappoint Huang Xiaolong. Instead, he became more excited and interested.
In the beginning, Huang Xiaolong had merely employed half of his Innumerable Buddha Supreme Godhead’s godforce. As time passed, he had gradually increased the percentage of godforce to sixty, then seventy, eighty, and now, it had already reached ninety percent!
Merely relying on the Innumerable Buddha Supreme Godhead’s godforce was insufficient to gain a significant lead over Di Jing’s points. Thus Huang Xiaolong began employing a hundred percent of the Innumerable Buddha Supreme Godhead’s godforce power.
Another two days went by.
Huang Xiaolong and Heavenly Prince Di Jing’s points were still battling intensely.
The two took turns occupying the first and second place.
