C471 The Embryonic Form of the Domain
"Up until now, only thirty to fifty students have come out of the mystic realm. Compared to the previous batches, this batch of students is much more outstanding!"
"You're right. After all, the supreme beings are selecting peerless geniuses. These students have put in a lot of effort in cultivating in recent years!"
"The people who were eliminated in the first three days were basically those with poor abilities. As for the remaining students, all of them were extremely talented. It would be very difficult to determine their ranking before the end!"
"That's right. With the strength of this batch of students, it would be difficult to determine the victor before the final day."
The students were sipping fragrant tea with a leisurely expression. Clearly, their performance made them very satisfied.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, an elder let out a cry of alarm. Everyone looked at him strangely. Elder Li asked, "Elder Qi, what's wrong?"
Elder Qi widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Someone came out of the secret realm!"
Elder Li smiled and said, "This is a competition. If someone can't hold on and comes out, what's so strange about that?"
"Look!"
The crowd followed Elder Qi's gaze and saw a line of numbers on a copper mirror.
These numbers represented the number of people who were still persisting in the secret realm.
For the past three days, the number on the mirror had been decreasing, but the rate at which it was dropping was extremely slow. However, it was different now. The number in the mirror was rapidly falling.
79, 63, 45, 28, 19...
In the blink of an eye, the number on the mirror was less than 20.
"What happened?" Elder Li frowned. The development of the matter had exceeded everyone's expectations.
"I'll bring someone to ask!"
The old man disappeared from the ceremony. In less than ten breaths' time, he had returned. However, the difference was that three young men had appeared in front of him.
These three young men were the Azure Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Academy students. Half an hour ago, they were still fighting with the insects in the mystic realm.
The three of them were still in a state of shock. Their eyes were filled with deep fear.
Elder Lee walked in front of the three of them and asked sternly, "What did the three of you encounter just now?"
"So many... insects!"
The one who spoke was a student from the Qilin Academy. His voice was clearly trembling.
"A lot of bugs?" Elder Lee asked curiously, "The mystic realm is full of insects. What is there to be afraid of?"
He looked at the girl from the Phoenix Academy, her voice was also trembling.
"So many... So many... insects!"
The woman's words were much more "so many" than the words of the Qilin Academy students. However, the meaning behind her words was completely different.
Elder Lee extended his palm and gently patted the forehead of the Azure Dragon Academy student. The student felt a clear stream flowing into his forehead and he felt refreshed.
He quivered. He knew that Elder Lee had helped him calm down, so he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Elder Lee!"
"There's no need to say more. Tell me in detail what happened in the mystic realm."
The Azure Dragon Academy students still had a trace of fear in their hearts as they said, "A few of my friends and I found a secluded place in the mystic realm. They had persisted for three days and thought that they could last until the end. Who knew that just now, there were tens of thousands of insects? Since we're no match for them, we can only run back. "
"Tens of thousands of bugs?"
Elder Li looked puzzled. "I've explored this mystic realm many times. There are only three thousand bugs released from the hive every day. Why did it suddenly change?"
The Azure Dragon Academy student pondered for a moment and said, "That's right! These bugs are very strange! "
"Rare? You explain in detail."
"In the past three days, whenever the swarm attacked, it would always be accompanied by strong sandstorms. However, this time, when the swarm appeared, there was no wind at all."
"I can't believe it happened!" Elder Li's expression turned solemn as he thought to himself, "It's rumored that there's a lost divine artifact hidden in the mystic realm that's being controlled by the Insect race. Could it be that there's some sort of change to the divine artifact?"
As he was deep in thought, the number on the copper mirror dropped rapidly once again.
Nineteen... Fourteen... Twelve... Eight.... Six.... Five.... Three!
In the period it took an incense stick to burn, there were still three people left in the secret realm!
"Hiss!" Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was a world of difference from the exam they had originally thought of.
"Elder Li, should we go in and take a look?"
"No!" Elder Li refused flatly. "This is a competition. Before the last student comes out, no one has the right to interfere."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They could only wait for the last three people to come out of the mystic realm.
However, after a day and night, the number on the bronze mirror remained three.
In the secret realm, Bai Qi was fighting against the insects. His right half of his body was completely covered by demonic Qi, and his right eye was emitting a faint red glow.
A hundred miles away, Wang Hao and Jia Houwei were also fighting the insects. The ground next to them was filled with insect corpses.
Both of them could hide in the God Treasure and wait for the competition to end, but neither Wang Hao nor Jia Houwei wanted to do so.
Jia Houwei's thoughts were very simple. After witnessing Wang Hao's strength, his competitive spirit was ignited once again. He was not willing to let go of any opportunity to train himself.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, wanted to kill all the insects. After witnessing the powerful reproductive ability of the Mother Insect, he was determined to destroy all the insects before leaving the secret realm.
He would never give the insect race a second chance to give birth to a Queen Mother!
Wang Hao slashed down with his sword. The sword beam cut the insects in front of him into pieces. The blood of the insects sprinkled down from the sky, attracting even more insects.
The insects in the secret realm were divided into three groups. One group attacked Wang Hao, another group attacked Jia Houwei, and the last group fought with Bai Qi.
Jia Houwei's clothes had been dyed yellow by the blood of the bugs. He waved the Proud Heaven Wild Sword in his hand while looking at the jade pendant on his waist.
The number on the jade pendant was the same as yesterday. It was still three.
He could not help but curse, "Darn it, who can hold on so long? Fat Master, I can't hold on much longer!"
Before he fought with the swarm of insects, Jia Houwei had already made an agreement with Wang Hao. Even if he failed the competition, he would not allow Wang Hao to save him. Only by training in life and death could he obtain greater power.
The Yuan energy in Jia Houwei's body was almost at the bottom, but his spirit of not admitting defeat made him choose to grit his teeth and hold on.
"I can't beat boss, but I can't beat a guy I've never met before? Fat Master, I refuse to accept this!"
Jia Houwei's stubborn personality had caused him to erupt with even greater strength than usual. The number of insects he had killed had now exceeded three thousand.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
The sound of flapping wings came from all directions. Jia Houwei looked at it from afar and was dumbfounded.
The source of the sound was a group of flying bugs. They were exactly the same as the bugs he saw in the hive that would shoot out needles from their tails.
"What the f * ck! There are so many of them!"
Thousands of flying insects flew down from the sky, their tails aimed at Jia Houwei, and their poisonous stingers shot out at the same time.
"The City of Four Beasts!"
Jia Houwei was helpless, and could only use his strongest defensive martial skill.
The Dust-Separating Blade formed six walls that protected Jia Houwei. Four beast heads of the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird appeared on the four walls.
The Four Beast City blocked all the poisonous spikes. Jia Houwei took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged on the ground and started cultivating.
He looked at the jade pendant on his waist and said fiercely, "I don't believe I can't beat you!"
On the other side, Bai Qi was also in a difficult situation. Unlike Jia Houwei, who was surrounded by insects, his opponent was only two insects.
One Thousand-leg Centipede and one Gruce Bug.
After a day and night of killing, Bai Qi was almost exhausted. He found it hard to defend himself against two peak Heaven realm insects.
The devil Qi on Bai Qi's body had already occupied three quarters of his body. His eyes had completely turned blood red.
The desire to kill was burning in Bai Qi's heart. His rationality, his beliefs, and his persistence were all crumbling bit by bit.
Unlike Jia Houwei and Bai Qi's persistence, Wang Hao was very relaxed and at ease at this moment.
He was floating in the air. He did not draw his sword, nor did he raise his power.
Wang Hao held a small Sword Dao Fragment in his hand. He closed his eyes, and starlight was flowing around him.
What flowed was not starlight, but pure righteousness of the Sword Dao!
Thousands of worms were madly attacking Wang Hao, but the final result was nothing more than a moth flying into the flame, seeking its own destruction.
When the insects were 20 meters away from Wang Hao, they were killed by the starlight without exception.
At this moment, Wang Hao was in a state where he had forgotten everything, and he was in a state of enlightenment.
As he continued to comprehend the Sword Dao Fragment in his hand, the starlight around him became denser and brighter.
Wang Hao did not know that he had inadvertently completed the initial condensation of the domain.
The sun rose and fell. A day passed. Sweat poured down from Jia Houwei's forehead like rain. Even if he continued to cultivate, it could not match the speed of the four walls city's Yuan energy consumption.
He opened his bloodshot eyes and lowered his head to look at the jade pendant at his waist.
The number on the jade pendant was still three. The corner of his mouth split open and he forced a bitter smile.
"You win... Fat Master can't hold on anymore..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Four Beast City collapsed. Jia Houwei's body fell backwards, and before he fainted, he injected the last trace of Yuan energy into the jade pendant.
Before the insects attacked him, Jia Houwei's body disappeared...
The number on the jade pendant dropped from three to one!
Jia Houwei wasn't the only one who left the secret realm. Bai Qi, who had been completely devoured by the devil Qi, was also unconscious in the desert after killing the Thousand-leg Centipede and the Gu Lusi.
Yuan energy surged out of the Devil Subduing Sword and poured into the jade pendant...
In the entire secret realm, only Wang Hao was left, and there were still 80,000 insects left!
As his understanding of the righteous path of the sword deepened, Wang Hao finally erupted with a powerful and sharp aura. All the insects in the mystic realm followed this aura and rushed towards Wang Hao!
