Chapter 849: Chapter 845 The Competition Begins

Xiang Mingzhi stood before Huang Xiaolong, glanced up and down at him, and shook his head, “Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Great Perfection? Huang Xiaolong, you’ve really disappointed me. You’ve been cultivating for so many years yet haven’t broken through to the Divine Level. Initially, I thought you might pose a threat to me in this God Ascension Tournament.”

His expression was one of sheer disappointment. Indeed, he was disappointed. Huang Xiaolong hadn’t broken through to the Divine Level, too weak. Even if he were to kill Huang Xiaolong, it would not excite him.

Huang Xiaolong’s face was indifferent, “Do you really think you can kill me?”

He swept his divine sense and discovered that Xiang Mingzhi had not only broken through to the Divine Level Second Stage but had also reached the Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak!

Such a cultivation speed was indeed astonishing.

With Xiang Mingzhi’s Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak strength, combined with the Azure Dragon Divine Fire and his Great Destruction Thunder Body, it was comparable to a Divine-Level Third Stage Middle Stage expert, even a Late Stage expert.

It’s no wonder that, in Xiang Mingzhi’s eyes now, he didn’t take the Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Great Perfection of him seriously at all.

However, he had been suppressing himself from condensing his divine status. With his terrifying accumulation over the years, once he broke through to the Divine Level, he would definitely surpass the Divine Level Second Stage and not fall short of Xiang Mingzhi.

After reaching the Divine Domain Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak Great Perfection, Huang Xiaolong first refined the legs of the Hundred Spirit Demon Body, then refined the White Tiger Divine Fire, and afterward, refined seventeen plants of two-million-year-old spiritual medicine. Over the past seventy years, he constantly absorbed the powers of the three great Star Rivers, tempering his body.

Huang Xiaolong’s accumulation had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s retort, Xiang Mingzhi couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Huang Xiaolong, you say I can’t kill you? You probably don’t know, but I’m already at the Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak, just a step away from breaking through to the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage. To kill someone at the Divine Domain level, I could do it with one hand!” At this, he laughed sinisterly, “And with your current level, you naturally can’t see my true strength.”

Upon hearing Xiang Mingzhi say he had already broken through to the Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak, Liu Yun and Qi Wen’s expressions drastically changed.

Xiang Mingzhi added, “I hope when you reach the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm, you won’t die too early. Although your current strength is too weak, I still want to personally resolve you, to let you die by my hand.”

With that, he ignored Huang Xiaolong and the other two, turned around, and left the hall, vanishing into the crowd.

However, Xiang Mingzhi did not notice that as he turned to leave, Huang Xiaolong flicked a finger strength, leaving a mark on his body.

“Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, let’s go too.” Huang Xiaolong said to Liu Yun and Qi Wen.

The three exited the Eternal Ancient Trading House.

“Fourth Junior Brother, Xiang Mingzhi has broken through to the Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak. When you enter the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm, you must be careful.” Liu Yun warned.

Seeing the worried expressions of both, Huang Xiaolong calmly smiled and said, “I know.”

Encountering Xiang Mingzhi wore them out, so they decided to return to the Blue Waves Mansion without further sightseeing.

Returning to his courtyard, Huang Xiaolong took out the name register and began to peruse it.

The first page of the register contained only thirteen names.

Remarkably, all thirteen were disciples who had signed up to participate, possessing a strength of Divine-Level Fourth Stage and above!

The first name boldly written was Wangu Yanhui, a disciple of the Wangu Clan, who had astonishingly reached the Peak of Early Stage Fourth-order Divine Level! He was also, on the surface, the strongest among all participating disciples this time.

The second was Fang Chu, Divine-Level Fourth-stage Early Stage, a disciple of the Eternal Star River Creation Gate.

The third was Zhou Family’s Zhou Yao from the Ancient Star River, and the fourth was Mu Family’s Mu Qi.

The fifth was Luo Shaochen from the Ancient Witch Sect, the sixth was Lv Dongwei from the True Yang Sect, the seventh was Peng Xuejiao from the Great Journey Commerce, the eighth was Ouyang Wanxiong from the Ouyang Family, the ninth was Jian Shiyi from the Swordless Sect, the tenth was Tai Bang from the Giant Clan, the eleventh was You Wuye from the Dark Spirit Clan, the twelfth was Jiang Xiaosu from Baofeng Academy, and the thirteenth was Jueshi Sanlang from Desperate Island.

These thirteen people, except for the first Wangu Yanhui, all possessed an Early Stage Fourth-order Divine Level strength, seemingly equivalent in power on the surface.

Of course, this was only their apparent strength; who was truly stronger or weaker couldn’t be determined.

Details on the weapons each used and the cultivation techniques practiced were not recorded.

Among the thirteen, Wangu Yanhui, Zhou Yao, and Mu Qi belonged to the Ancient Star River, while the other ten hailed from different Star Rivers.

Huang Xiaolong continued flipping through the pages.

There were 176 at the Divine-Level Third-stage Late Stage and Late Stage Peak!

This meant that even being a Divine-Level Third-stage Late Stage expert wasn’t guaranteed to secure a place in the top hundred.

The intensity of the competition surpassed what Huang Xiaolong had imagined.

In total, there were 932 individuals above the Divine-Level Third Stage.

Following that were those at the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage and Late Stage Peak.

Those at the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage and Late Stage Peak were abundant, numbering over three thousand!

The register did not record individuals below the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage, as from the perspective of the Wangu Clan, only those with a strength above the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage stood a chance of making it into the top thousand of this competition’s rankings.

Hope was sparse for other disciples, so there was no need to record them.

Because Xiang Mingzhi was at Divine-Level Second-stage Middle Peak, he wasn’t recorded, and neither was Huang Xiaolong.

A week ago, registration closed, and on the last page, the Wangu Clan tallied that this time, more than 17.62 million disciples from various major Star Rivers had registered for participation!

17.62 million people!

Even a big city wouldn’t have that many people.

A wisp of Immortal Yuan Fire emerged from Huang Xiaolong’s hand, incinerating the name register.

With his divine sense, the contents of the register were naturally imprinted in his mind after one glance.

“Xiang Mingzhi,” Huang Xiaolong murmured, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Earlier, he had left a mark on Xiang Mingzhi. Once inside the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm, within a certain range, he could sense Xiang Mingzhi’s location.

By then, his first task upon entering the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm would be to kill Xiang Mingzhi, gather the Four Great Divine Flames, and then break through to the Divine Level.

Once he broke through to the Divine Level and condensed the Supreme Divine Realm, he had confidence in contending for a spot in the top ten, top three, or even first place this time!

First place!

Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath.

In the following two days, Huang Xiaolong cultivated at night and strolled around Wangu City during the day with his master Feng Yang and Senior Brother Liu Yun.

Two days quickly passed.

Huang Xiaolong emerged from the Heavenly God Cave Mansion, glanced at the sky, seeing a hint of sunshine breaking through—a clear day.

When he arrived at the hall, his master Feng Yang and the others were already present.

They left the Blue Waves Mansion and headed toward the Eternal Ancient Square.

On the way, Feng Yang felt somewhat heavy-hearted. He already knew the strength of the registered disciples this time, which was stronger than he had imagined.

“Xiao Long, once you enter the Thunder Expansion Divine Realm, you must be cautious. If you encounter those at the Divine-Level Second-stage Late Stage and above, avoid them, don’t show off. Just come back alive, and your master will be happy.” Feng Yang once again urged Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded helplessly, “Understood, Master.” (To be continued. If you like this work, please consider visiting Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
