Chapter 421: Fighting the Fierce Shaman Warrior!

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

This Deity expert by the name of Lie Xiao felt rather energized upon walking up to the battle platform under the eyes of countless Deities.

“Begin,” one of the commanders in golden armor shouted out from beside the battle platform. In response, the hourglass floating above the platform began to glow, and the sand inside it started flowing downward.

“Die for me!” roared the Fierce Shaman Warrior.

Sou.

Lie Xiao immediately turned into a blurry figure. At around ten thousand kilometers per second, his speed was extremely fast.

That’s some speed. Watching the scene from afar, Xue Ying could not help but be inwardly startled. Such speed was actually comparable to his own.

The Fierce Shaman Warrior howled in anger while chasing his target, but he had no way to actually catch up to him.

Hua hua hua…

The body of the Fierce Shaman Warrior began to split in a practiced manner, and very soon, twelve figures of the warriors appeared, all of them approximately five meters tall. The speed of all these figures was not any faster than before, but with all twelve of them closing in on the target from different directions, Lie Xiao found it impossible to escape. In that situation, he chose to instead use his superior speed to fight the smaller versions of Fierce Shaman Warrior one-on-one.

“The division technique employed by the Fierce Shaman Warrior leads to a huge decrease in the combat power of each individual figure. This Lie Xiao might manage to destroy them all, one by one.”

“Destroy them one by one, you say? Most of the participants of the Starfield Selections for the Myriad God Myriad Flower Feast would come up with this idea of destroying the opponents one by one, but does that mean all of them succeed in the end?”

“Those twelve bodies might be weaker, but none of them are so easily dealt with.”

All of the experts inside the palace discussed amongst themselves.

Xue Ying arrived at the same conclusion as he watched the battle from a distance. The combat power of the Fierce Shaman Warriors was extremely high, and even the usage of the Laws of Profound Mysteries found in their techniques was at a terrifying level. It seemed as if they made nearly no mistakes. In fact, it was to the extent that every single body after the split was about as strong as a Tapir Beast! Perhaps their physical strength was not as high as a Tapir Beast’s, but their speed and usage of the Laws of Profound Mysteries was infinitely more advanced. Twelve of them jointly attacking a single target…who would really find it easy to destroy all of them one after one? That was such a difficult task.

With his signature short spears in had, Lie Xiao could still only barely pierce one of the bodies of the Fierce Shaman Warrior. Very soon, he was forcefully surrounded by the remaining eleven bodies; he immediately shouted out, “I admit defeat!”

“I admit defeat.”

“Ah.”

“No.”

“I admit defeat.”

Deity after Deity went onto the stage, only to subsequently take the initiative to admit defeat! A small portion of them refused to do so, and some even lost their lives.

“Contestant 121, Cang Qiu!” The man just called out was a seemingly ordinary Deity who wielded a long staff.

“Formidable.” However, once those spectating Deities watched him start fighting, they shouted out in shock.

That’s one formidable staff technique. It is very likely to be a secret skill of his. Xue Ying nodded as he kept on watching. It might not be a very dazzling technique, but it somehow doesn’t show any weaknesses, be it in terms of offense, defense, area of effect, killing moves, illusory moves and so on…

What he was witnessing was a complete set of secret skills, one created according to a grade two Deity Heart—the Space Deity Heart!

As soon as the Fierce Shaman Warrior realized it would not win a one-on-one fight, it immediately divided itself into twelve bodies, but even under their surround attack, Cang Qiu’s single staff could still reverse space itself and unleash an unpredictable power; it was like an uninterrupted stream of flowing water. As such, it didn’t take long after the first body was destroyed for the other eleven to follow to the same fate!

It only took half of the allocated time for Cang Qiu to destroy all of the Fierce Shaman Warrior’s bodies—it was a victory! He was actually the very first person to get through the Mountain Wu Star Field’s selection.

“Deity Cang Qiu has passed the Starfield Selections,” Patrol Master Guan shouted out from his throne high above. His expression suffered from a momentary jolt of happiness.

“Cang Qiu?”

“Formidable.”

“He’s handsome.”

Cheers and screams echoed throughout the area, seemingly engulfing the entire place.

Before long, Cang Qiu left the battle platform led someplace else by the patrol master in charge of leading. There, he was brought to sit in a certain location.

After Cang Qiu, who had been the first to get through the selection, most Deities remained unable to pass the trial. Only occasionally would some Deity actually succeed in passing.

Once that red-haired man wearing a half-mask and who emitted heavy killing intent walked up the stage, the countless spectators began to notice his peculiarity.

“Such heavy killing intent.”

By now, Patrol Master Guan, General Tu, and the other World Deities all noticed this trait of his.

“A Deity with such heavy killing intent is bound to have some unique circumstances.”

“Look at his eyes. Zezeze. This one has my favor. He should be able to get through the selections.”

“Mn.”

“I agree.”
