Jiu Hao was half-drunk, as she had always been like this.
Little Stutterer's face was gloomy, as it had not been easy for him to reach this stage. In the previous round, his opponent had been one of the Lockbreaker Society's Five Luminaries, Casanova. Casanova was a top expert on the Top 100 Rankings, and Little Stutterer had only managed to defeat him after much difficulty. Casanova was someone who was qualified to compete for the Five Astral Children in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although he was not very strong, he was still ranked at the top of the Top 100 Rankings.
Little Stutterer had thought that his luck would continue, but he had run into Jiu Hao.
Little Stutterer looked to the side and despaired. This Limiteer could not even coordinate with him. Also, how had a Limiteer gotten here?
"Admit defeat." Si Gui was very straightforward. He felt that this was a man's responsibility, and he had to be flexible.
Little Stutterer was speechless. "Admit, admit, admit." Before he could finish speaking, he had returned to his original position at the first level, while Jiu Hao had appeared below a staircase. As long as he followed the staircase, he would reach the top and become one of the top ten.
Admitting defeat against Jiu Hao was not shameful.
Little Stutterer was stunned, as he had not even considered admitting defeat. Although he would definitely lose, he did not dare to do so, as he would be beaten to death by his master. What he wanted to say was, "Be serious, not admit defeat!"
To the side, Ku Wei looked at Little Stutterer sympathetically. "Bro, you're so unlucky to run into Jiu Hao."
Little Stutterer looked at him. "Ben, Ben, Ben." Ku Wei was furious. "You're the stupid one. Your whole family is stupid."
"It's always been …" Little Stutterer finished his sentence.
Ku Wei did not hear him. He appeared in the arena, and a familiar voice sounded out. "Hey, two-legged beast, come over here and be Lord Fish's mount. Lord Fish is in a good mood to guide you, and you'll definitely become an ancestor one day."
Ku Wei turned around and saw a fish. He subconsciously asked, "Do you like chili powder?"
The fish was furious, and it fiercely slapped its fins. "Stupid two-legged beast, Lord Fish is giving you a chance. Eh, two-legged beast, you changed?"
The fish stared at Ku Wei and carefully sized him up. "You've become bigger."
Others did not understand, but Ku Wei did. He stared at the fish, as if he had seen a ghost..........
It couldn't be. Her eyes were too sharp.
"Your face has become bigger and uglier. Lord Fish doesn't want it. Stay away from Lord Fish," said the fish disdainfully.
Ku Wei was furious.
Xi Qi felt wronged. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't be angry."
At this moment, another figure appeared. Ku Wei and Xi Qi both looked over at the same time, and a bolt of lightning flashed past. The two of them looked at each other, their faces pale.
Wang Yi, why is it him?
In the distance, Lu Yin pursed his lips. Ku Wei was rather unlucky. It was one thing for the three of them to engage in a chaotic battle, but he had actually run into Wang Yi.
However, it was not bad that he was able to make it this far.
Wang Yi's appearance had decided the outcome of the match. There was no suspense at all.
Only the fish disagreed. "Hey, you two-legged beast, Lord Fish sees that your bones are quite unique. Hurry up and become Lord Fish's mount. If Lord Fish is in a good mood, he can teach you how to become an ancestor."
Xi Qi hurriedly covered the fish's mouth. "Don't say anything else. This is the Sovereign Tournament, and there are no restrictions on life and death. Don't provoke them."
Ku Wei carefully distanced himself from Xi Qi. That despicable fish could say anything, and he was afraid of being implicated.
Wait, why didn't he admit defeat?
Ku Wei's eyes lit up. Against this fellow, even if he transformed into the Tomb Protecting Giant, he would still lose. He quickly admitted defeat, as he had just seen Yao Gu and the Tool Wielder's fates.
"I admit defeat," Xi Qi said bluntly, as she was afraid that the fish would say something else.
The fish was furious and continuously flapped its fins.
Ku Wei hurriedly said, "I admit defeat."
Wang Yi immediately appeared at the bottom of one of the stairways.
Very quickly, three more figures appeared in the arena. Two of them were Explorers from the Sixth Mainland and one from the Neoverse. The last one was one of the Cyan Twin Heroes, the thin man.
When he saw the chaotic battle between the three of them, Lu Yin was certain that the matches were not randomly assigned.
Of the fifty people remaining on the first layer, there were a dozen or so who were clearly much weaker than the others. They had all relied on luck to reach this stage. In the two three-person battles that had just ended, the four people who had been eliminated belonged to these dozen or so people. This was an intentional elimination of some people.
This was especially true for this group, as one of the Cyan Twin Heroes, the thin man, could easily eliminate the other two.
However, the thin man himself was not a top-tier expert.
This match ended very quickly, and in the next moment, Shangqing appeared in the arena.
When he saw Shangqing, the rest of the people subconsciously tensed up. It was not a good thing for anyone to encounter Shangqing. Even if Lu Yin was confident that he could fight against Shangqing, he would still consume a lot of his energy.
The giant Star Devourer appeared in the arena, and it was Shangqing's opponent.
This was a three-person battle, and the other person was Xie Xiaoxian.
When Xie Xiaoxian appeared in the arena, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
During the battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had been the first to witness the true might of the three suns' ancestral qi. On the highest stage, Shangqing had used two strands of ancestral qi to transform into Progenitor Chen. She still could not forget that invincible display. Even a Hunter like Shangqing was not someone she could deal with, let alone an Enlighter like Shangqing.
Surpassing Realms to challenge Progenitors was easy, and any genius was just an ordinary person in front of Progenitor Chen.
While Xie Xiaoxian was considering whether or not she should just admit defeat, on the other side, the Star Devourer's giant body was already pressing down on Shangqing.
When it had broken through the fifth checkpoint, Star Devourer had cleverly chosen not to provoke Shangqing. Instead, it had shrunk its body and successfully passed the checkpoint. Even if it looked down on humans, it was not confident that it could fight against someone who could use a Progenitor as a fighter. However, in this match, it had no choice but to go all out.
Star Devourer's appearance was like a mix of a wolf and tiger. It had six eyes on its forehead, and every time it opened one of them, its power would explosively increase. At this moment, it opened four of its eyes and fiercely pressed down on Shangqing.
Shangqing easily dodged, and a stream of air whizzed past, smashing towards Star Devourer.
The stream of air was dispersed by Star Devourer. Although Shangqing's stream of air was unsolvable and could be dispersed, it would quickly condense again. However, it was of no threat to Star Devourer at this moment.
Shangqing frowned slightly. Above its head, Star Devourer's giant tail slammed down, and the void was immediately distorted by its power. This power was not inferior to Emergence Mavis.
Emergence Mavis represented the pinnacle of human strength, while Star Devourer represented the pinnacle of giant beast strength.
Humans had natural limitations, but Star Devourer did not. It could even devour planets.
Shangqing dodged the attack once again, and its giant tail slammed onto the ground, causing the ground to split open. Xie Xiaoxian was pushed back by the wave of air, and looked over in shock. This power made her think of Corpse Ghost.
Back then, Corpse Ghost relied on the Third Transformation of the Corpse King and Death Qi to challenge everyone on the golden stage without losing out. That power was so strong that it left everyone speechless.
Star Devourer's current power was probably not much weaker than Corpse Ghost's.
With a roar, Star Devourer suddenly opened its fifth eye and raised its right claw to slap Shangqing.
In the distance, Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This claw's power was infinitely close to Corpse Ghost's. Even he only had this level of power, and Emergence Mavis had long since surpassed it.
Emergence Mavis' expression turned solemn. This strange lifeform truly deserved its reputation as the strongest giant beast. It only had five eyes, but its power had already surpassed hers. However, her Mavis bloodline's usage of power was not something that Star Devourer could compare to.
She glanced at Lu Yin as she thought about it. This person's Emptiness Palm was not something that Star Devourer could match.
Just power alone depended on how one used it.
Xie Xiaoxian could not interfere, and she kept retreating. However, Star Devourer did not attack her, and its eyes only focused on Shangqing.
Shangqing's stream of air was useless against Star Devourer, and everyone watched on nervously. It was time for Progenitor Chen to appear.
Not long after, Shangqing stood tall in the sky, and the stream of air that had been attacking Star Devourer gradually changed into a human form.
Star Devourer was not stupid. Although it was not smart, it was still very sensitive to danger. When it saw the stream of air transform, it raised its claw and swatted at it.
There was a loud bang, and the ground trembled as a deep claw print sank into the ground.
In front of the screen, countless people watched nervously.
Star Devourer stared at the ground, its originally indifferent gaze suddenly filled with pain. Blood spurted out as a sword light flashed from below, piercing through Star Devourer's right claw. A figure leapt up; it was Progenitor Chen.
Star Devourer roared in pain as its huge tail viciously lashed out.
High up in the sky, Shangqing was indifferent as two streams of air revolved around her, making her look like a deity.
Below, Progenitor Chen, who had transformed from the stream of air, slashed down with his sword. There were no traces of battle techniques, and there were no superfluous movements. It was just a single slash, and his figure disappeared while the sword light remained in place.
Star Devourer's huge tail lashed out, but half of it was broken. No matter how powerful it was, it was useless.
In the distance, Lu Yin gradually clenched his right hand. Progenitor Chen, this was Progenitor Chen. Back on the golden stage, everyone had been helpless against the Corpse Ghost, but Progenitor Chen had appeared and used his sword to block the Corpse Ghost. In the end, he had even cut off the Corpse Ghost's arm.
The Corpse Ghost was not an expert of the same generation, and there was no expert in the Neohuman Alliance who could reach the Third Transformation of the Corpse King Realm. Moreover, Progenitor Chen had fused with death energy.
Yu Hua Mavis, Xia Jiuyou, and the others had not been inferior to the top experts of the younger generation in the long river of history. In the end, even their combined forces had not been a match for the Corpse Ghost, but Progenitor Chen had blocked it with a single slash.
This was Progenitor Chen, the invincible Progenitor Chen.
At this moment, no matter how strong Star Devourer was, it was like a child in front of Progenitor Chen. Its right claw and tail had been severely injured, and Star Devourer did not dare to attack.
Only those who were close enough could understand how terrifying Star Devourer was. His strength was enough to cause one to collapse, but those who were watching from the outside could not sense it. All they could see was Shangqing's god-like appearance.
Outside Mount Supreme, atop a white skeleton. "That's the human Progenitor Chen. No matter what era he was in, Progenitor Chen was invincible among his peers. Who could defeat him in the same era?"
"Unless another Progenitor intervened."
"It's useless. Legend has it that during the war between the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, Progenitor Chen used the Nine Clones Technique to fight against nine Progenitors. He was unparalleled."
"That's why he's known as the only Paragon, unless someone can surpass Progenitor Chen in the same era."
"He has more than one Progenitor Chen clones."
The other gigantic beasts fell silent when they heard that.
Star Devourer was a strange life form. It could swallow planets, and it was extremely strong. It was unshakable, but it was powerless in front of Progenitor Chen.
On the first level, Xie Xiaoxian gulped and looked at Progenitor Chen in fear. Her eyes were shining. That was the invincible Progenitor Chen. How sad must it have been for those who had been born in the same era as him?
