Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Good Luck

The elimination round began.

Jing Yan felt himself enveloped by a vast divine power, and in the next instant, he appeared on an arena.

Opposite him stood a young male martial artist.

"It seems my first opponent is this person," Jing Yan glanced at his opponent.

The young male martial artist was also sizing up Jing Yan.

On this arena, only Jing Yan and this young male martial artist were present.

Jing Yan could see a dense mass of arenas outside of his own. On each arena, there were two martial artists facing off. These arenas looked like they were very close to his, but upon a careful sense, they seemed to be far away.

"Another different spatial dimension."

"Amazing, the application of space law is truly terrifying," Jing Yan sighed once again.

This level of space law application was beyond Jing Yan’s reach; the gap was simply too great. With Jing Yan’s current strength, he couldn’t possibly break such a dimensional space. If the opponent wished, they could keep him under control in this space forever, i.e., on this arena.

"Each round of the elimination match ends when one side concedes or is knocked out of the arena." Supreme Elder Yongming’s voice resonated.

"Begin the duel!"

As Supreme Elder Yongming’s words fell, battles erupted instantly on the arenas.

Jing Yan, however, did not rush to attack. His opponent, likewise, did not immediately launch an attack on Jing Yan.

"Greetings, Daoist. I am called Guangping," the martial artist greeted Jing Yan with a smile.

"I am Jing Yan," Jing Yan replied with a smile.

This martial artist named Guangping was only at the level of a half-step Void God, not even a one-star Void God. For Jing Yan, defeating him was a mere thought.

Though Guangping hadn’t made a move yet, his inner activity was quite intense. He knew with his own strength, passing through the entire elimination match would be very difficult, but if he’s lucky enough, it wasn’t entirely impossible. He also tried to sense Jing Yan’s strength, but definitely, he found nothing.

He speculated about Jing Yan’s strength.

Seeing that Jing Yan hadn’t taken immediate action, Guangping couldn’t help but wonder if Jing Yan was of average strength, or perhaps unsure of beating him, hence the delay.

If this Jing Yan was at the level of a Void God, how could he waste time and not directly strike him off the arena? If not a Void God, then he had a chance.

Hmm, this Jing Yan is likely at the same level, a half-step Void God.

Thinking of this, Guangping’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly took action. He wanted to cut through the chaos swiftly and defeat Jing Yan as fast as possible to advance to the next elimination round.

Guangping’s body leaped, and he summoned a Holy Artifact from his hand, sweeping out with martial arts. His attack speed was indeed fast, and in this arena, if the opponent was also a half-step Void God, they might indeed be swept out in a hurry.

Yet in Jing Yan’s eyes, his attack was still too slow.

Guangping saw his attack had reached Jing Yan’s vicinity, yet Jing Yan seemed not to have reacted, and his heart rejoiced.

Ha, I’ll clear the first elimination round smoothly.

However, before his joy was fully expressed, he felt his attack abruptly halted, as if an ordinary person had crashed into a huge stone.

Immediately after, an incomparably heavy force rebounded back.

"No good!" Guangping exclaimed and immediately tried to control his body being rebounded by the overwhelming force. But how could he control it?

Guangping’s body was directly sent flying out of the arena.

"Damn it, it’s a Void God!" With this thought, Guangping’s body was flung out of the arena and disappeared instantly.

Once defeated in the elimination round, he was directly transported out of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

After defeating Guangping, Jing Yan glanced around; by this time, some arena battles had ended, leaving only one person standing on stage. However, the majority of arenas still had ongoing battles.

Seeing that he hadn’t been transported away from the arena, Jing Yan sat down cross-legged. With a total of 51,200 arenas, for all the battles to conclude, it apparently required some time.

"Chief, that Jing Yan has defeated his first opponent." When the participating martial artists ascended to the arenas simultaneously, the Deacon of the Truth Department searched for Jing Yan’s arena.

He found it promptly and saw Jing Yan sending his opponent flying. Therefore, he reported to Chief Li Yue in time.

Li Yue also witnessed Jing Yan’s duel with Guangping, and upon hearing his subordinate’s report, he laughed disdainfully.

"His opponent used primordial energy; not even a one-star Void God, what’s surprising about being defeated?" Li Yue sneered.

There is a significant distinction between primordial energy and divine power. It is evident from the exterior manifestation.

"Indeed!" The Deacon nodded.

"The elimination phase consists of four rounds of duels; he can’t possibly encounter four opponents who are all at the Saint Realm or half-step Void God. Hmph, what if he encounters a Void God, can he still win?" Li Yue added.

"The Chief is right." The Deacon of the Truth Department repeatedly concurred with a laugh.

In four rounds of duels, the likelihood of encountering powerful martial artists increases towards the end.

Among the martial artists passing the Law Affinity test, there might be quite a number at the Saint Realm and half-step Void God. Yet after one or two elimination rounds, the number of half-step Void Gods and Saint Realm martial artists would be greatly reduced.

The first round of dueling lasted for about thirty minutes before it all ended.

After this round, there were 51,200 martial artists remaining.

Supreme Elder Yongming wielded his divine power again. These 51,200 individuals were regrouped for dueling. A new opponent appeared before Jing Yan.

"Saint Realm?" Jing Yan sensed his opponent’s strength, "I am really lucky. My first opponent was a half-step Void God, and the second is even weaker, only at the Saint Realm Third Stage Cultivation."

51,200 martial artists were divided into 25,600 arenas, confronting each other in pairs.

"Congratulations on passing the first elimination round. Now, the second elimination round begins!" Supreme Elder Yongming announced.

After Yongming’s words fell, Jing Yan’s Saint Realm Third Stage opponent charged at him furiously, swinging down a long knife with ferocity.

"This guy is quite straightforward."

"What a shame, only a Saint Realm Third Stage..." Jing Yan shook his head.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the extremely fierce Saint Realm Third Stage was directly blown off the stage by a gust of wind within the space.

"No!" The Saint Realm Third stage martial artist didn’t even grasp the situation, only felt his body fly up, and he instinctively shouted out. His voice hadn’t faded before he was transported out of Luo Jiu Divine Palace.
