“What!”

“He won the ninth match as well?”

In a small town belonging to the Dragon Mountain Empire, a sloppy old man was currently drinking to while away his boredom. This was a peak stage Saint realm Transcendent currently undergoing closed-door cultivation! As his lifespan neared its end, and he had yet to become a Demigod, his frustration grew deep in his heart, even though he knew that such an increasingly anxious state of mind would not help him in becoming a Demigod.

Thus, he decided to become an ascetic cultivator in order to temper his state of mind.

This time, he did not decide to watch Xue Ying’s Transcendent Battle of Life and Death. After all, every new Transcendents would have such a battle, and they were all too common.

But now, he was currently regretting his decision!

“The ninth match was against an Abyss Demon, and yet I didn’t see it! As for the upcoming tenth match, it will be against a warrior from the Deity World!” This sloppy old man felt his heart itch with impatience, “I’m such a foolish pig. That Dong Bo Xue Ying is actually the youngest Transcendent in the past thousand years. With such an achievement, he is certainly someone extraordinary. If only I had gone earlier to watch the battles! But even if I couldn’t watch the battle against the Abyss Demon, I still have the chance to watch the battle against the rarer and more precious ‘Deity World warrior’!”

“The battle is going to start in an hour, yet I can’t reach there in time.” This sloppy old man felt helpless.

He could not teleport.

He could only slowly fly there! First, he had to fly towards the Infernal World’s Xia Capital World Door! And that would take him approximately three hours already!

“It’s a Deity World’s warrior! A Deity World’s warrior from the legends!” This old sloppy man felt regret and heartbreak.

…

At this moment, all those Transcendents who were not at the viewing platform but who were close enough rushed to the arena after receiving the news! As for those who were too far away, they could only feel regret!

Within the Hall of Life and Death in the Xia Capital.

“The tenth match is going to start soon, and that’s with a Deity’s World warrior!” Chi Qiu Bai, Peng Shan, Zi Che Gu Feng, Cheng Ling Shu, Dong Yu and the rest were all feeling excited beyond measure.

The Transcendent Battle of Life and Death could be considered as a tradition of the Xia Clan.

The further one proceeded, the rarer and more precious one’s opponent would be.

The ninth match was already an Abyss Demon. The tenth match would be something more mysterious, with the eleventh being something surpassing that of the tenth! As for the twelfth match, the opponent one would face was kept a secret that even amongst many Demigods, not a single one of them had seen who or what it was.

Of course, in the entire history of Xia Clan, the strongest, one with an immensely high talent and a deep comprehension of the Realms, the ‘Purgatory Knight’ Jie Li had won eleven matches. When he reached the twelfth match… that would mark the only time the precious opponent from the clan protection treasure was brought out! Of course, the combat power would be determined by the clan protection treasure.

Let’s not mention those exaggerated eleventh and twelfth matches.

Even the tenth’s match opponent, a ‘Deity World warrior’, would be considered as a legend amongst the many Transcendents.

“I’ve heard that the Deity World warriors descend from the Deity World.” Zi Che Gu Feng’s eyes were filled with expectations, “Every single Deity World warrior is extremely mysterious. It’s only after the ancestors of our Xia Clan investigated these Deity World warriors, and absorbed some of the simple Profound Mysteries of theirs before the ‘Refiner Organisms’, the ‘Flesh Warriors’, and many other techniques were formulated.”

“I’ve always dreamed of seeing a Deity World warrior.” Cheng Ling Shu was so excited that her voice trembled, “Finally, I’ll be able to see one today.”

“It’s a Deity World warrior.” Hai Ru Zhen touched his white beard, “Who would have thought that I could see one before I died.”

These three people were Transcendent mages.

Every single Transcendent mage was a true scholar! They were scholars who investigated everything in the world! At the same time, they would also investigate into matters concerning the body and the soul. With their findings, they had crafted the ‘Transcendent Refiner Organisms’, the ‘Flesh warriors’, the ‘protectors’, and many other frightening treasures. The true origin of many of their treasures would be the ‘Deity World warriors’. The number of these warriors within the entire Xia Clan could be counted on the fingers of a single hand.

…

Amongst the many Transcendents who watched the match, some of them had just arrived there in time – there were even Demigod existences and others who let their ‘Qi avatar’ rush over to this location! A Qi avatar of a Demigod was completely different from that belonging to a Saint. A Saint Qi avatar would still have some streams of light flowing on their skin. For Demigod avatars, one would not be able to discern them clearly with the naked eye.

Within the Hall of Life and Death, in one of the pavilion’s gardens, Xue Ying was currently cultivating his spear techniques. He had long recovered his spent energy using the Origin Stones!

‘Not enough time left.’
