993 Fight for the Grand Seal (2/2)
However, the noise around the clouds soon quieted down.
”The maze palace has come to an end. The victors are the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince.”
The transparent elder gave a deep glance toward the stone stage of the Fourth Prince. No one knew who he was looking at.
The next instant, a white array light flashed around the Eighth and Thirteenth Princes' stone stages.
Whoosh!
The two princes and their teams were all sent out of the Imperial Tombs. The two stone stages also started to descend back into the Heaven's Legacy City.
”We will now enter the final stage – the Fight for the Grand Seal,” the transparent elder's voice sounded, and an invisible pressure started to spread.
At the same time, the stone stages of the two remaining princes turned until they faced one another. The gray-white stone tablet then started to sink into the stage.
Boom!
The two stages finally connected, and a path formed between them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of metal clashing came from the center of the path. Countless small metal boards extended out until it formed a circular shaped area where the final battle would be held.
”Old Ying,” the Ninth Prince called out after giving a glance toward the Fourth Prince.
”Your Highness, we have no hope of winning.” Old Ying sighed and lowered his head.
When the transparent elder announced that they were about to enter the last stage, the excitement of the Ninth Prince's entire team turned to silence. Although the Ninth Prince managed to defeat the Thirteenth Prince and move on, he had nowhere near as much draconic providence as the Fourth Prince. He didn't even have as much as the Thirteenth Prince.
”We've already tried our best.” It was hard for Shi Yulei to hide his unwillingness. The Ninth Prince's team had been very good in the third stage; not only did they have the second highest number of wins, they had the lowest number of losses.
However, even if the Ninth Prince's team had a good performance, they hadn't been able to close the gap.
”The fight for the Grand Seal will now begin. May the two princes start the final battle,” the transparent elder announced solemnly.
”The two princes' subordinates can help the princes they support, but they can't directly damage the other prince.”
There was only this one rule. This meant that the Ninth Prince's team members could heal, defend, and transfer their power to the Ninth Prince. However, they weren't allowed to attack the Fourth Prince directly or do something that would affect the Fourth Prince's ability to battle.
”Come, brother Ninth Prince. I never expected you would be able to reach this stage.” The Fourth Prince walked forward in a calm and composed manner. The momentum of a king emanated from him – from his perspective, he was already the Crown Prince, and the Ninth Prince whom he usually ignored had finally gained his recognition.
”My goal is to defeat Brother Fourth Prince.” The Ninth Prince took a deep breath as he walked out.
The two princes both held their pseudo Crown Prince Seal with one hand as they slowly walked toward the center of the final battle ground.
Weng~ Weng~
Both princes' pseudo Crown Prince Seals started to tremble at the same time, and a strong surge of draconic providence leapt into the air as golden light shone. A powerful and giant golden dragon could be seen in the air above the final battle ground, and its roar shook everyone's soul.
Boom! Boom!
The two surges of draconic providence entered the bodies of the respective princes, and golden draconic light rose around the two princes. The draconic light glittered and lit up Heaven and Earth.
”Draconic light that's seven yards tall!” Zhuge Yun's eyes glittered.
The draconic light coming from the Fourth Prince's body was over seven yards high. Precisely said, it had reached 7.4 yards.
One had to know that the tallest draconic light that had ever appeared in the history of the Crown Prince trials had only reached 8.3 yards.
”So unfortunate. The Ninth Prince has definitely lost; his draconic light is only 6.2 yards tall,” an elder next to Zhuge Yun said.
In comparison to the Fourth Prince's draconic light, the Ninth Prince's draconic light was a lot fainter.
”A difference of one yard.” Old Ying looked at the two princes.
”Get ready to help!” Old Ying immediately called out.
The members of the princes' teams were allowed to support their princes. Although they had no chance of winning, the Ninth Prince didn't admit defeat, so they couldn't give up just like that.
”Zhao Feng, where are your flying beasts?” Zhou Su'er asked carefully at this moment. When she was partnered with Zhao Feng, she knew that Zhao Feng had given some stolen Dragon Jades to some flying beasts. She just didn't know how much draconic providence these pieces of Dragon Jade had accumulated by now and whether or not it could shrink the gap between the two princes.
”There's no need to rush,” Zhao Feng replied gently.
Weng~ Weng~
When the draconic providence turned into battle-power, the two princes instantly became stronger than everyone present. The Fourth Prince had broken through to the Sacred Lord rank in the Imperial Tombs, and with the addition of the draconic providence now, his battle-power was approaching the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.
Limitless pressure filled the air. The battle-power of the Ninth Prince opposite him was almost an entire level lower. The Ninth Prince felt troubled just trying to resist the Fourth Prince's pressure.
