The huge Four Symbols Roulette rotated slowly. With each rotation, people couldn't help but sweat.
In particular, the geniuses from large immortal sects who entered the top 32 with great difficulty were practically praying that they wouldn't encounter the legendary generation of Blue Dragon College.
Of course, they wouldn't encounter White Tiger College's Red Wolf or Xuanwu College's Shui Jing. If they had to choose one of the four academies, they would choose ZhuQue College's Gemini.
Similarly, the Four Holy Lands weren't in their consideration, and the same went for the four dark horses of the small and medium-sized academies.
In other words, there was a 50% chance that they would have a chance to take a step forward.
This was something that had never happened in the Battle of the Four Symbols. In particular, the sudden rise of the small and medium-sized academies was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, this time, the Four Symbols Roulette didn't directly display the matchups of the top 32. Instead, as it rotated slowly, it formed the outlines of 32 islands.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Elders, it's bad! The Four Symbols Great Formation is operating automatically and is about to go out of control!"
The Immortal Warlocks in charge of maintaining the Four Symbols Archipelago shouted with a look of shock on their faces.
"What!"
The countenance of the Divine Will Immortal Warlocks suddenly changed. The Four Symbols Great Formation going out of control was something that had never happened in the history of the Four Symbols Archipelago.
Immediately, several Divine Will Immortal Warlocks proficient in formations rushed to the center of the Four Symbols Archipelago. However, the problem with the Four Symbols Great Formation was clearly beyond the scope of their ability to solve.
"Hehe."
In the ZhuQue College's team, the Sky Demon issued a strange laugh, seemingly having expected this result.
"The divine child is really extraordinary, to be able to interfere with the Four Symbols Great Formation of the ancient era."
"It looks like that Mei Xue won't be able to escape even if she grows wings."
The several Alchemists looked at the confident Sky Demon with reverence in their eyes. As expected of a divine child born from the combination of a perfect Nine Nether seed and a life form of the Myriad Seas and Mountains, this method is really amazing.
"I'm just borrowing the rules of this place. There's nothing impressive about it." Skyfiend raised his head and looked at the 32 islands that appeared in the sky. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
Beside her, Jiu Ying's eyes were empty. It was like a puppet that was being controlled and had lost all its spirituality.
"Don't panic, this is not an anomaly, but a change of the Four Symbols Great Formation itself." Daoist Black Turtle, who hurried to the center of the formation, calmed the panic of the Immortal Warlocks a little.
"This kind of change happened before?"
"Why haven't I heard of this before? What's going on?"
Several veteran Divine Will Immortal Warlocks looked suspiciously at Daoist Black Turtle. They have experienced hundreds of battles of the four symbols, yet they have never seen such a strange change.
"That's right. This change is the earliest Battle of Four Symbols rules."
As the host school of this Battle of Four Symbols, Immortal Mysterious Turtle had never thought that the Four Symbols Formation would be reactivated in this mode.
The earliest Battle of the Four Symbols was exactly like this.
At that time, only the four schools participated in the Battle of Four Symbols. It was a battlefield where the disciples of the four Earth Immortals fought against each other.
Before bloodline magic abilities weakened, the Battle of Four Symbols was a veritable battlefield at the peak of the era when new immortal spells and ancient magic abilities competed.
In the name of the Four Symbols, great gods and Immortal Warlocks from all over the world fought one fierce battle after another.
After the Immortal in White shattered the void and left, it was on this battlefield that the new Immortal Warlocks defeated the ancient great gods step by step and finally became the masters of the Myriad Seas and Mountains.
The earliest Battle of Four Symbols was based on this archipelago mode. Even the current Four Symbols Archipelago was built in imitation of these islands.
It may be hard for people to imagine how much blood the first batch of Immortal Warlocks paid in order to follow the path of the Immortal in White and prove that immortal spells can be powerful even without bloodline magic abilities.
Starting from the islands they were on, they would advance towards the central throne of the Four Symbols, defeat all enemies, and ascend to the top. This was the original rule of the Battle of Four Symbols.
At that time, every genius who participated in the Battle of the Four Symbols would be prepared to die before they stepped into the battlefield.
Often, less than one-third of the people could survive a Battle of Four Symbols. This was the oldest mode of the Battle of Four Symbols, a battlefield of immortal spells and magic abilities in the name of the Four Symbols.
In the center of the Four Symbols Archipelago, there are 32 different islands reflected in the huge gate of light, each of which has a different scenery.
Some islands are covered in ice and snow, just like the scenery of the Northernmost World.
Some islands are covered in yellow sand, just like the scenery of the Northernmost World.
Some islands are covered in fragrant flowers and birdsong, with killing intent hidden in the flowers.
Some islands have blue seas, bright sunshine, and tropical scenery.
Later, the various changes in the secret realm of the Battle of Four Symbols came from these ancient islands, the original battlefield of the Battle of Four Symbols.
"This is really … amazing."
Shui Jing looked at the thirty-two islands in awe, because this was the miracle created by the Black Tortoise of the North, one of the Four Sacred Beasts of the Zhu Hai Mountain Range who was most proficient in formations, the Four Sacred Beasts.
Those islands are essentially floating islands in the huge secret realm. This secret realm is the battlefield that the Four Holy Beasts worked together to transform.
Huge jade ribbons connect the 32 islands, these are the 32 floating islands that symbolize the number of times of the Four Symbols.
Only the victor who defeats all the other islands can step into the Throne of Four Symbols surrounded by the 32 floating islands.
This was the original rule of the Battle of Four Symbols. At that time, there was no such thing as the top 32 or the top 16. There was only one rule: Winner takes all.
Only when the final king is decided in a cruel and bloody battle will the Throne of Four Symbols appear, and the winner will receive the blessing of the Four Holy Beasts' bloodline. That was the reward for victory in the era when the Four Holy Beasts were still alive.
After the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Xuanwu fell in the great calamity, only the Holy Beast of the South, ZhuQue's Battle of Four Symbols was left, and the original rule of the Battle of Four Symbols was never used again.
Who would have thought that this time's Battle of Four Symbols, the oldest mode of the Battle of Four Symbols would be used again.
Unlike the Battle of the Four Symbols in a peaceful era, these thirty-two islands were truly battlefields that would cause a rain of blood and foul winds.
This is because the blessing of the Four Holy Beasts is an Earth Immortal level talent inheritance.
In the Primordial Era, every King of Four Symbols who received the blessing of this bloodline, as long as they didn't die too early, would eventually become a peerless expert who cultivated both immortal arts and supernatural powers.
It was also because of this that every Battle of the Four Symbols of that era would cause a great uproar.
