Chapter 207: Chapter 200: Battle of Qualification, Begins!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! ...
Figures streaked across the sky, rapidly converging towards the central direction of the Thousandfold Main City.
At this moment, geniuses from various countries were flocking in, and the number of cosmic martial artists in the central main city square was increasing.
"Let’s go."
Su Long, Ba Donghe, Wang Xu, and Princess Bing Qing, after gathering together, headed with the geniuses from various countries towards the central square.
Princess Bing Qing did not participate in the qualifications battle, but she insisted on watching Wang Xu and the others go in, and then welcome them out.
.......
"A giant gate."
From afar, Wang Xu saw in the central main city square, a giant steel gate standing tall, cast in iron, bound by massive chains, majestic and imposing.
Cold glints shimmered, piercing the sky, this giant gate was tens of thousands of meters high, extremely conspicuous. But before today, Wang Xu had not noticed any sign of a giant gate in the central main city square, obviously, it had just been moved here not long ago.
The geniuses from various countries were examining this steel giant gate with a look of curiosity.
They were born not even a millennium ago, endowed with talents, extraordinary in strength, yet they still yearned for the rumored qualifications battle.
Wang Xu and the other three landed in the main city square, submerged in the sea of tens of thousands of people.
More silhouettes continually landed in the main city square, and in just a moment, their numbers had reached the hundreds of thousands.
Suddenly, all eyes focused on the sky, looking towards three figures in the void.
One in silver and white, another in red, and one holding a five-foot cyan sword.
The three of them walked through the sky, their steps slow and heavy, yet causing the surrounding time and space to slow down, as if pressed to slow motion, the three appeared ordinary but became the most dazzling existence in the world.
"Greetings, esteemed seniors!"
The geniuses from various countries bowed in salute, they could sense the powerful aura emanating from the three, stronger than that of the Deceitful Prison Celestial God.
Meanwhile, in the distance, another majestic figure split the air, stepping on the ground with black and gold boots, an Emperor’s Crown above, a massive and magnificent body marching forward.
"Sovereign of the Thousandfold." Those saluting were the citizens of the Thousandfold Main City, this majestic figure was clearly the sovereign of the Thousandfold Cosmic Country, Qian Chong Quechen.
Behind Qian Chong Quechen were two figures, small in comparison, one of whom was the Law Enforcer that many geniuses had seen, the Deceitful Prison Celestial God.
The other, without needing to guess, was the second Celestial God Realm from the Thousandfold Cosmic Country, never seen before, Zhao Luo Celestial God.
"That’s Zhao Luo Celestial God!" Wang Xu’s eyes were fervent as he looked at the white-robed figure behind the Thousandfold Sovereign, shrouded in mist, obscuring his face, unable to determine if this person was indeed Xian Qu’s father.
"Everyone." The Thousandfold Sovereign spoke, the thunderous voice resounded in everyone’s mind.
All eyes turned towards him.
"This qualifications battle will be held within my ’Thousandfold Divine Country’, upon entering the divine country, each person will receive a map fragment."
"The fragments may be similar or different. Every 9,999 fragments can piece together a complete map."
"Only the one with the complete map is eligible to enter the real ’qualifications battle’."
"Now, the Thousandfold Divine Country, open!"
As the Thousandfold Sovereign’s voice fell, three figures stepped through the air, landing on the steel giant gate.
Heaven and earth changed, the stars dimmed, the geniuses from various countries showed expressions of shock, they could obviously feel that the cosmic law of this area had changed.
White light, red light, cyan light.
Three pillars of light reaching the sky suddenly appeared, and the three shouted in unison.
"Open!"
The sound was deafening, Wang Xu felt a blur before his eyes, the cosmic law trembled, followed by the sound of "clang" of metal clashing.
The thick chains binding the steel giant gate became inert and began to contract, disappearing without a trace, followed by a loud rumble as the steel giant gate swung open!
Dark, solitary, cold.
Inside the steel giant gate, a deep dark vortex seemed to attract everything, more terrifying than a black hole.
"Go!" Someone shouted, and then a large group of cosmic martial artists rushed into the vortex first.
Immediately, countless figures swiftly flew, merging into the dark vortex.
"Let’s go." The skinny man with golden skin, Togu City, laughed, leading his two subordinates into the steel giant gate.
"Go."
"Go."
The geniuses from the Ten Extremes Great Country, along with their subjects and vassal martial artists, all entered the dark vortex.
"Hmph! When you come in, that will be your death!" The River Devourer’s venomous eyes fixated on Wang Xu and the others, waving his hand and leading a large group of people inside.
"Let’s go too." Wang Xu said, stepping forward, Su Long and Ba Donghe nodded, closely following.
"Wang Xu, you all must return quickly!" Princess Bing Qing shouted with a worried look.
In just a moment, tens of millions of cosmic martial artists in the square had all entered the steel giant gate.
Clang!
The steel giant gate closed with a thunderous boom.
"Qing Zhang, that Invincible Black Hole level kid who just went in, is your ’unworthy disciple’ that you’ve been muttering about, right?" A stunning woman in red spoke, her eyes like stars, glimmering with light.
Qing Zhang’s expression was calm. He had already seen Wang Xu’s figure. From Wang Xu, Qing Zhang sensed the aura as strong as the Mixed Universe Realm. When the woman in red spoke, he said nothing and silently watched the steel gate.
"Don’t bring up old Qing’s painful past; this disciple has already been abandoned by him." A man dressed in silver-white said.
Qing Zhang’s lips moved slightly, wanting to retort, but after hesitating for a moment, he chose to remain silent.
"This is not like you, Qing Zhang," the woman in red said, "You’ve never fixated on a disciple like this, nor have you been so disappointed in a disciple."
Qing Zhang still remained silent.
"Old Qing’s mind is hard to fathom. Let’s open the door again in ten minutes," the man in silver-white said.
......
Stepping through the steel gate, a dizzying sensation of space-time distortion suddenly came upon him.
It came quickly and disappeared just as fast.
"This is... the Thousandfold Divine Country." Wang Xu opened his eyes; in front of him was a dense forest, with "silver wood" growing, harder than steel. The winds raging past were ripping storms strong enough to destroy stars, making the silver wood sway precariously under the onslaught of these storms.
Wang Xu’s hand tightened, feeling the presence of a hard object.
"Map Fragment." Spreading his palm, a golden fragment of paper lay quietly in Wang Xu’s palm, with no traces of creasing.
On the golden paper fragment, tiny black lines were outlining the contours of mountains and rivers. From its irregular edge, it was clear that this was merely a part of a larger map.
"Hmm? On my body... the Cosmic Law is swirling." Suddenly, Wang Xu sensed that the Cosmic Law was circulating around his body, having no effect whatsoever and not influencing him in the slightest.
This was a mark.
Wang Xu understood this seemingly useless Cosmic Law was proof of a Cosmic Martial Artist participating in the eligibility battlefield.
Only those who entered the War Realm would possess such a mark.
And only with this mark would Wang Xu’s wager with Yanyue Zhe take effect upon returning to Tai Long Cosmic Country.
"Su Long, Ba Donghe and the others were transported away."
Wang Xu frowned, not expecting people to be scattered and teleported to different places after entering the War Realm.
But this was fair enough.
Cosmic Martial Artists who clung together would be dispersed. Those with good luck could at least survive for ten minutes before leaving the War Realm.
Boom!
At that moment, a violent explosion echoed from a million miles away, making Wang Xu’s heart skip a beat.
The battle has begun!
"Find Su Long and the others first!" Wang Xu turned into a stream of light and flew out.
......
In a desolate land, jagged rocks stood, and not a blade of grass grew.
Bam!
A loud bang sounded, blasting a kilometer-diameter crater into the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
"Ba Donghe, handle those two Invincible White Hole levels first!" Su Long said anxiously.
Su Long wielded a white sword, with sword shadows covering the sky and enveloping the entire world. At the point where the sword aimed, three figures clad in blue warships stood.
"Haha... An Initial White Hole level, and a High Class White Hole level; the heavens are truly helping me. As soon as I came in, I was gifted such a grand present!" The leading Triangular Martial Artist laughed to the sky.
The three of them came from the Triangle Cosmic Country, and to survive the eligibility battle, they had aligned themselves with the Thunder Rift Cosmic Country, one of the Ten Extremes Great Country.
However, as soon as they entered, they were all separated, causing them to worry about their safety.
Unexpectedly, just moments later, they encountered another team which was so weak that they could be easily dealt with.
"Damn, how did we run into three people, especially from the same Cosmic Country!" Ba Donghe gritted his teeth.
Su Long wore a bitter expression: "When they came in, they were a group. Even though they were scattered by the teleportation, the three of them were fortunately sent together."
"We entered as three, naturally one or two were scattered..." Su Long wore a look of guilt, "It’s all my fault for forgetting this point. I should have come in with those people, and this separation wouldn’t have happened."
This Triangular Martial Artist was the strongest White Hole level, yet his true strength had already surpassed the Invincible White Hole level.
His two followers were both Invincible White Hole levels.
With such strength, neither Su Long nor Ba Donghe could be their match, only struggling desperately under the trio’s joint attack.
"Quickly, signal Wang!" Su Long said anxiously, "If this continues, we can’t hold on even for two minutes!"
Ba Donghe took out a Bright Demon Stone, ignited it with flames, and an intense light immediately brightened and started flashing.
"Trying to signal? Hmph! Now that you’ve encountered me, just accept your fate!" The Triangular Martial Artist’s face turned cold. His killing intent surged as he wielded a white triangular spike to attack the two of them.
"Stop it!"
Suddenly, a fierce voice resounded, "These two, are mine!"
A hideous-looking Cosmic Martial Artist, whose appearance was repulsive enough to induce vomiting, approached from the horizon. His dead fish eyes stared at Su Long and Ba Donghe with a bloodthirsty glee.
"Damn it, River Devourer!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on .)
