As soon as Chu Deyu's words fell, the atmosphere in the Inner Area seemed to freeze.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Soon after, the sound of space being torn apart continuously rang out. Dozens of powerful spiritual figures shot towards the sky, causing an unusual phenomenon in the clouds as they landed on the Heavenly Talisman Pillar one after another.
Fang Qing turned around and glanced at Qin Shi. Her eyes gave a gentle signal, and Qin Shi immediately stood up. His black robes fluttered as he landed on the Heavenly Symbol Pillar.
Qin Shi slowly sat down cross-legged on the Heaven Talisman Pillar. Compared to the clamorous surroundings, he seemed to be extremely quiet. His black pupils sized up the Heaven Talisman Pillar, and he couldn't help but feel amazed in his heart.
"This Heavenly Talisman Pillar is really a treasure. It has such a powerful ability to gather souls."
Qin Shi was surprised to find that he didn't need to deliberately control the direction of his Soul Power on the Heavenly Talisman Pillar. As long as he released his Soul Power, it would naturally fuse with the Xumi space in front of him.
"This Heavenly Talisman Pillar is specially made for Talisman Masters to refine Devil Talismans. Don't underestimate the Eight Trigrams Stone Slab below. It is also a divine object on the Ancient Divine Object Ranking."
"What?
The stone slab is also a divine object? "
"Yes, but it's not ranked very high. If I remember correctly, it should be in the 80th place."
"No wonder …!" Qin Shi secretly clicked his tongue. "There are so many treasures in the Chaotic Region."
Chu Deyu's clear voice resounded once again after all the participants had ascended the Heavenly Talisman Pillar, "Since everyone is ready, I won't waste any more words. Everyone should know that the first two rounds are merely a preparation for the third round of the Talisman Demon Competition. In the third round, there are no rules or restrictions. You can do whatever you want. The one who can refine the Devil Symbol with the highest grade and purity will be the winner of today's competition, the king, and the glory of the region. Then, the Heavenly Talisman Pillar will be your stage. The duration will be fifteen days. Start refining the Devil Symbols now."
Upon hearing Chu Deyu's Primal Chaos Voice, the area within 10,000 meters of the Eight Trigrams Stone Tablet immediately boiled over. Both the participants and the spectators felt the same, and they could feel the intense heat in their blood.
Numerous figures leapt up from the Heavenly Talisman Pillars. Their faces were filled with excitement. Under the combined strength of the numerous figures, the sunlight that scattered down from the sky seemed to have turned sluggish. Dense Spiritual Strength occupied one side each, creating a clear distinction between heaven and earth.
In an instant, dozens of soul light beams rose from the Eight Trigrams Slate like holy light. Although the number of participants had been reduced by hundreds after the first two tests, there were still dozens of Talisman Magicians, and all of them were top-notch Talisman Magicians in the Mortal World. It was still extremely shocking at this moment.
"Humph, stinking brat. This time, I will make sure you die without a burial place!" Gui Ying, who was not far away, stared at Qin Shi with malevolent eyes.
Qin Shi sensed it and glanced at it. His black eyes were also filled with killing intent.
He had no intention of letting Daoist Ghost Shadow go.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
As their souls rose into the air, many participants began to refine their Talisman Magicians. Huge beasts were summoned from the Beast Trapping Cages, filling the Eight Trigrams Slate with bestial nature and roars.
"Look, it's a Heaven Fate Realm Saber-toothed Lightning Dragon!"
"It really is a Saber-toothed Lightning Dragon, ranked 329th on the Ancient Beast List."
A participant from the Wind Region raised the corner of his mouth and began to seal off his Saber-toothed Lightning Dragon.
Before the Lightning Dragon's aura had even stabilized, several powerful beastly auras rose in the surroundings. Not to be outdone, the participants took out their harvest from the second test.
"It's the 283rd ranked Ashen Flame Lynx!"
"Look, it's the 163rd ranked Bloodthirsty Cat Demon!"
Many of the spectators exclaimed.
During this process, Qin Shi remained silent and did not make a move. This time, he wanted to refine the Bat Dragon Rattlesnake. The reason why he was not in a hurry was because he needed to make preparations to refine a truly powerful Talisman. In the distance, Daoist Ghost Shadow, Huo Dao, and the others also did not make a move.
Their palms moved quickly and their soul power swam in the Sumeru Space, forming a formation.
"Look, it's the Prismatic Soul Trapping Formation!"
Daoist Ghost Shadow was one step ahead. In the Sumeru Space in front of him, a huge triangle rose into the air. At the three corners of the triangle, there were extremely powerful soul chains.
The Prismatic Soul Trapping Formation was the prerequisite for the Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation. In the current world, it was already an extremely powerful formation for refining Talismans. As for the Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation, it had been lost for many years.
As soon as the Prismatic Soul Trapping Formation appeared, Daoist Ghost Shadow glanced at Qin Shi proudly.
Qin Shi was slightly stunned and could not help but find it funny. At this time, his formation was basically completed. His palms dragged the sleeves of his robe, and immediately, six dazzling starlight burst out.
"That, that's the Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation?"
Seeing Qin Shi's actions, everyone was shocked.
Almost in an instant, the Prismatic Soul Trapping Formation in front of Daoist Ghost Shadow violently trembled, becoming extremely timid under Qin Shi's Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation.
"I didn't expect this kid to have the Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation?
This formation that has been passed down for many years? "
"That's really incredible."
"Indeed, this kid's talent is really frightening."
Fang Qing smiled proudly as the discussions from the various regions continued.
"However, although the Hexagon Soul Trapping Formation is powerful, the real key of this competition is still the Ominous Beasts. The Ominous Beasts are the root of the Talismans' strength. Now that both of them have yet to summon their Ominous Beasts, it's hard to say who will win."
"Hmph!"
Daoist Ghost Shadow suffered a blow and snorted in anger. Shortly after, he stopped talking to Qin Shi and changed his hand seals. The Beast-Trapping Cage was brought out from his chest. Along with the release of the seals, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations became more and more intense.
"Stinking brat, you're indeed powerful in arrays, but the Ominous Beasts are the root of the competition. Even the Divine Radiance Mammoth has been subdued by me. Let's see if you have the ability to compete with me this time!"
Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, a strong hurricane formed from Daoist Ghost Shadow's Beast-Trapping Cage. Every hurricane turned into a dazzling golden blade light that even the space in the Sumeru Space was cut apart.
Sensing this powerful force, everyone held their breaths.
"Roar —!"
An earth-shattering roar shook the heavens and earth. When everyone saw the Ominous Beasts that were brought out from the Beast-Trapping Cage, their eyes were filled with shock.
Along with the appearance of the Ominous Beasts, the entire Eight Trigrams Slate trembled. The Ominous Beasts that were brought out by the other Talisman Demon Masters revealed fear at the same time, and without exception, they lowered their heads.
"This, this power, could it be …"
"It's, it's a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast!
It can't be wrong, only a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast can release this kind of bloodline pressure, right? "
"Gulp … I never expected that a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast would appear?"
Everyone fixed their eyes on it. The appearance of the Divine Ranking Ominous Beast had caused the eight Territorial Lords to be slightly moved. It was already the first time for a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast to appear in the Talisman Demon Competition.
The beast light disrupted the clouds and its huge body seemed to want to burst open the entire Sumeru Space. A pair of huge silver-white tusks pierced through the barrier.
"It's the Divine Radiance Mammoth!"
When the huge mammoth body appeared, someone exclaimed.
"It's really a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast!"
Everyone exclaimed. Basically, at this moment, a thought rose in everyone's heart. The champion of the competition had already been determined.
It was impossible for anyone to surpass a Divine Ranking Ominous Beast.
After summoning the Divine Radiance Mammoth, Taoist Ghost Shadow's smile became more and more ferocious, as if he was already confident of winning. He laughed at Qin Shi, "Haha, brat, you don't have the ability to compete with me this time, right? The only Divine Ranking Ominous Beast in the crack of the Beast Armor, the strongest Ominous Beast that possesses the Beast King Throne, is now in my hands. You'll definitely lose!"
"Is that so?
I don't think so. "
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Qin Shi's face. His smile startled everyone present.
Taoist Ghost Shadow also frowned in confusion, "Brat, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
Qin Shi played with the Soul Flame in his palm and smiled in an extremely mocking manner, "Nothing, I'm just curious, who told you that the Divine Radiance Mammoth is the strongest in the crack of the Beast World, and who told you that the Beast King Throne belongs to the Divine Radiance Mammoth?"
"Hmm?"
Taoist Ghost Shadow's old face froze. He was defeated by Qin Shi's confidence. He tried hard to restrain himself and shouted, "Brat, don't put on airs here, it's useless. Back then, you and I fought for the Divine Radiance Mammoth in the crack of the Beast World, we all saw it with our own eyes. The Divine Radiance Mammoth is the King of the cave, how can it be wrong!"
"Haha, I never said that, that's just you thinking too highly of yourself!"
Qin Shi shook his head mockingly, the flame in his palm suddenly extinguished, and an invisible golden Beast Trapping Cage rose from his palm.
Seeing Qin Shi's Beast Trapping Cage, everyone present was attracted to it, as if they wanted to find out who the strongest Ominous Beast that Qin Shi had mentioned was.
Qin Shi smiled proudly and flicked his finger. In the Beast Trapping Cage, a ray of starlight was shaken out by him and poured into the Hexagonal Spirit Trapping Formation.
Qin Shi's side did not cause a huge commotion like Taoist Ghost Shadow's. Instead, it was exceptionally calm, so calm that everyone present was a little doubtful.
And in the midst of doubt, under Qin Shi's Hexagonal Spirit Trapping Formation, a giant snake that was thousands of feet long fell out. The giant snake was still in a state of unconsciousness, and there was no threatening hostility, but in this calmness, the giant snake's light panting caused a shocking phenomenon.
"Roar — —!"
Immediately, all the ferocious beasts present roared in unison, raised their heads in unison, and actually knelt down at the same time.
If it was said that they had shown fear towards the Divine Radiance Mammoth before, then at this moment, it was true respect and submission.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.
This submission seemed to be worshipping their true king. Even the Divine Radiance Mammoth Elephant in front of Taoist Ghost Shadow in the distance seemed to be the same. It lost its previous mania and knelt on one knee, bowing its head in submission.
"What, what's going on?"
