The team continued to move forth.
Lingxi's victory could also be considered as the Martial God Ancient City's victory. At this moment, practically everyone in the Martial God Ancient City no longer had any enmity for Long Chen. Their only grudge was the Primordial Dao Artifact.
At this moment, they naturally didn't have the mood to worry about it.
As the excitement in his heart calmed down, Long Chen had no choice but to discuss the next matter.
Su Muchen stood beside him and looked at the endless nine-coloured mist before him. "Make a guess, what will the outcome of this Battle of Glory be?"
Long Chen shook his head and said, "It's better if you tell me what you think."
Su Muchen nodded his head. "If this goes on endlessly, I'm afraid that there will be countless battles in a day. In roughly ten days, out of the thousands of Deity's Bloodlines, eight out of nine will be eliminated. This cycle will continue endlessly, and after the first round, I'm afraid that only four or five will survive in the Martial God Ancient City. There's also a high chance of me dying, if my opponent is too strong."
Long Chen pondered over his words. "You're saying that there's a second round?"
Su Mu Chen let out a cold laugh as he said, "Who knows? This sudden Battle of Glory has already exceeded all of our expectations. Then, why wouldn't there be something more exciting? After the first round ends, everyone will participate in a battle. In the end, only two to three hundred people will be able to survive out of the thousands of people. At that time, they will continue to participate in another round. This cycle will repeat until, in the end, only one person will be able to survive …"
Thousands of people, and only one will survive. Su Muchen had already imagined the most serious situation, but it wasn't impossible.
When Su Tianyuan heard their conversation, he had a weird expression. "It can't be like this, right? This is the Battlefield of the Gods, the burial ground of our ancestors. Aren't we here to pay our respects to them …"
If he hadn't experienced the previous matter, he would definitely speak with confidence.
Su Muchen said, "Continue dreaming. Who knows, the next one to die might be you, Su Tianyuan."
He had suffered serious injuries in his battle with Long Chen. If he were to fight against a Rebirth Tribulation Realm expert, his chances of winning were basically zero.
However, this matter couldn't be blamed on Long Chen. Even if it was Su Mu Chen, his chances of survival might not be higher than others.
No one could see any hope in this bitter competition. They could not escape the danger of death. Everyone could only live in fear and despair. It was not just the people in the War God Ancient City, even those peak God Cities were the same.
The golden formation continued to move forward, but the Martial God's silhouette remained indifferent.
"I wonder if Sister Xuanji is doing well," Lingxi suddenly said, making Long Chen worried again.
That's right, under these cruel rules, he couldn't even see her. If she were to suddenly disappear, what would he do? That woman was like a piece of flesh on Long Chen's body, haunting him and causing him great pain. No matter how strong an expert was, he was still a joke in front of the rules. If he wanted to be above everything, he had to break the rules.
"Don't think too much about it. Perhaps it'll be over after one round. This is the burial ground of their ancestors, so it's just a test. They won't be forced to their deaths," comforted Lingxi.
"Let's hope so."
Long Chen stood before the golden formation and clenched his fists.
As time gradually passed, the third battle was about to begin. There were roughly thirty people in the War God Ancient City, and one would go up every time. Aside from Lingxi, no one had survived.
The tempo of the battles was swift. In the blink of an eye, ten battles had already passed. The surrounding people died one after another. Those that were still alive before had all disappeared.
Su Tianyuan went up.
In the fifth battle, Su Tianyuan went up. He was the eldest brother of the Su family, but he cried and cursed at Long Chen. It was because of Long Chen that he was injured. In that battle, Su Tianyuan was the first to be eliminated. He was heavily injured and fell into the nine-colored mist, never to be heard from again.
There were less than twenty people left in the War God Ancient City's team.
So far, almost all of them had died.
This was really a narrow escape from death.
Not just the War God Ancient City, the remaining less than two thousand people had all collapsed. Everyone's faces were pale, and they squatted in the golden formation in panic. The hundred breaths of time was simply a death sentence. Although it was a battle of honor, no one would feel proud of the victor, they only envied his luck.
Death had never stopped.
Death was actually not scary. What was scary was waiting for death. The remaining twenty people seemed to be waiting, and no one was spared.
"What a headache. If there's a gap in the inheritance of our human race, then we will be facing the danger of extinction. Will this really happen? Will the five dragon cities not care? Could it be that the Ancient City of the Seventy-Two Divine Descendants will disappear in history?"
Su Mu Chen suppressed the rage in his heart as he spoke in a solemn voice.
"Why?"
He faced the Martial God's image, but the Martial God's image did not give him an answer. He was so enraged that he wanted to smash the Martial God's image, but everyone immediately cried out to stop him.
That was the ancestor, and Su Mu Chen's action was definitely blasphemy.
Even if it wasn't the ancestor, if he smashed the image and destroyed the Spiritual Array Diagram, then everyone here would die.
This time, the Martial God's Spiritual Array Diagram moved through the nine-colored mist once again. There were only twenty people left, and no one knew who would be the next one to fight.
The only comforting and hopeful news was that up until now, those who had survived on the white jade platform had yet to participate in the second round of battle. That one out of nine chance of survival had become everyone's only goal.
Up ahead, there was another white jade platform.
This time, the Martial God Ancient City was the last to arrive.
Here, the teams of the eight divine cities were already prepared for battle.
When the Martial God Ancient City arrived on the white jade platform, everyone swept their gazes out and felt despair. That's because their opponents this time were too terrifying.
Clear Void City, Supreme Divine City, Primordial Divine City, Zi Wei Divine City, and Darkness Divine City.
There was a total of nine teams, with three of the strongest cities in the central region. There was also the Zi Wei Divine City in the east, which wasn't any weaker than the central region's divine cities, and the Darkness Divine City in the north.
With the five supreme forces gathered together, the other four divine cities, like the Martial God Ancient City, might not stand a chance. Although the strength of each divine city didn't represent the strength of each individual, the foundation of each divine city was different. Even if the disciples nurtured by them were of the same cultivation, their strength might not be the same.
Generally speaking, the stronger the Divine Descendant City, the more terrifying the disciples would be.
However, such a grand scene did not alarm Long Chen. That's because he saw the people from the Darkness Divine City at first glance. At this moment, his eyes were frantically searching for that beauty.
"Chen, Sister Xuanji is over there."
Long Chen was too anxious, causing Lingxi to notice Li Xuanji first. Following her direction, Long Chen looked over and saw that the woman was also searching for him. Her eyes were red and incomparably anxious, with tears rolling down her cheeks. Long Chen rarely saw her cry. At this moment, seeing her for the first time, the throbbing of his soul made him feel suffocated. Only when he confirmed that she was alive and well did he finally heave a sigh of relief. It was as if the boulder on his body had dissipated.
For this result, he almost went crazy.
Fortunately, she was fine …
And she was probably worried about him to the same extent.
The battle had not started yet. The Darkness Divine City was relatively close. Li Xuanji anxiously approached and asked, "You guys … haven't gone up yet?"
Long Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled. "I haven't, but Xiaoxi succeeded. What about you?"
Wiping away the tears in her eyes, Li Xuanji said, "I also succeeded. I know you will be worried, so …"
Long Chen knew that although he was not by her side, the amount of effort she had put in at that time was probably similar to Lingxi's. They were both people who had risked their lives for him.
Li Xuanji continued, "I'm only worried about Xiaoxi. You will definitely be fine, right? Don't worry about me, I'm basically fine on my side."
Saying this was also to reassure Long Chen.
These two women trusted him so much. This was also his blessing.
"Mm, I'm fine," Long Chen said resolutely.
They had already passed the first round, and the rest was up to him. Although he did not know if there would be a second round, at least he did not have to be so worried for a period of time.
The battle was about to start.
Just as Long Chen and Li Xuanji were conversing, an elegant young man in a green robe landed quietly in the middle of Qingxu Divine City.
"Reincarnation Tribulation Stage."
Every time a Reincarnation Tribulation Stage expert appeared, it meant that the next one would be a Reincarnation Tribulation Stage.
Su Muchen, Long Chen, and the rest instantly tensed up, since a powerful force was about to descend.
In the other cities, there were also Reincarnation Tribulation Stage cultivators going up.
Li Xuanji was currently talking to Long Chen. Behind her, a black-clothed youth was also brought up. He was also a Reincarnation Tribulation Stage cultivator.
Finally, it was the turn of the Martial God Ancient City. Long Chen held his breath. There were a total of five people with the combat power of the Samsara Tribulation Realm, and he was one of them. Would it be his turn to choose one of the five?
Buzz!
A surge of energy vibrated in his ears.
Long Chen did not mind it, since he had to come anyway. But this time, his opponents were a little too powerful. Those from powerful cities were hard to deal with.
His luck had never been good. Just as he had expected, he was thrown onto the platform by a huge force. The two women who loved him exclaimed as they covered their mouths.
However, it was unavoidable.
