Chapter 1774: Chapter 1658: Peerless Demon, The Goddess Awakens
“The Great Path is boundless, Qiankun Wuji, go—”
Suddenly, Haoyang Divine Sovereign shouted clearly, and then strange golden light rings abruptly appeared all over the square.
These miraculous golden light rings enveloped each person who received a reward.
Then, amidst the envious and regretful gazes of the last hundred people, these golden light rings whisked away 300 people into the void.
Even Master Hongjun, Sword Ancestor, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, Lotus Master, and others didn’t have time to give a few instructions to their saintly disciples before they vanished into thin air.
The remaining hundred people withdrew their gazes, with a fiery eagerness in their hearts.
Even those from the Saint-level Death Hunting Ground could harvest so many treasures, surely their harvest will be even greater.
Thinking about this, all the strong beings who had reached the God-human Realm were filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Alright, by the looks of you, you’ve grown impatient from waiting. Let me now bestow your rewards—”
Haoyang Divine Sovereign finally spoke with importance, even the likes of Master Hongjun, Sword Ancestor, and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, known for their deep cultivation, felt their hearts skip a beat, their eyes glinting with a hint of eagerness.
“Zhantian Tyrant, from the Venerable Sage-level Death Hunting Ground, gained 41 billion points, ranked 100th, granted one piece of First-Grade Middle divine artifact, five Xuanqing Divine Stones.”
“Yaotian Venerable Sage, accumulated 41.8 billion points, ranked 99th, granted one piece of First-Grade Middle divine artifact, five Thick Earth Divine Stones.”
“What’s going on? We’re risking our lives in a higher-level Death Hunting Ground, why is the reward so little?”
“Yeah, just one piece of First-Grade Middle divine artifact and five divine stones? It’s even less than what the last two received from the Saint-level Death Hunting Ground. How can this be?”
“I originally thought that surviving the Venerable Sage-level Death Hunting Ground, our rewards, even if not surpassing those from the Saint-level Death Hunting Ground, would at least not be less. But now, I find I was ridiculously wrong.”
“Yeah, there are only 100 of us, but in the Saint-level Death Hunting Ground, 300 can get rewards. And our 100th place reward is actually less than their 300th place’s reward, that’s really unfair.”
As Haoyang Divine Sovereign announced rewards for two consecutively, it caused an uproar among most, many showing discontent.
Haoyang Divine Sovereign, while announcing rewards, suddenly had a cold face, stating darkly, “The rewards granted by this sovereign are absolutely fair. Your strength is indeed higher than those of the Saint-level, and so naturally, the level of Death Hunting Ground you enter is higher. To be exact, one might say the Saint-level Death Hunting Ground’s difficulty is somewhat higher. After all, their strength is too low, and the number of low-level divine beasts in our Haoyang Divine Palace is far less, mostly Venerable Sage-level fierce beasts and even divine beasts. Calculating this way, I’m inclined to think that you people actually still gained some small advantage…”
With Haoyang Divine Sovereign’s words, everyone present fell silent immediately.
For a moment, the whole scene remained unusually quiet.
“Nothing more to say?” Haoyang Divine Sovereign deeply regarded over a hundred divine beings, his gaze narrowing, he continued, “Since there’s nothing more to say, then quietly await your rewards…”
“Sword Kill, accumulated 101.1 billion points, ranked 79th, granted one First-Grade Pinnacle Divine Sword, one bottle of Heart Refining God Pill, a hundred Vajra Divine Stones.”
“Ouyang Feifeng, accumulated 108.1 billion points, ranked 75th, granted one set of First-Grade Pinnacle Grand Taiyan Divine Armor, one bottle of Build God Pill, a hundred Blazing Divine Stones, one copy of [Thunder God’s Escape] body method.”
“Devour Sky, accumulated 278.1 billion points, ranked 50th, granted one Second-Grade Pinnacle divine artifact, Sky Swallowing Pearl, and the entire volume of Golden Colored Glaze Body Forging Technique, one thousand Dark Origin Celestial Cave Divine Stones.”
Above the sky, Haoyang Divine Sovereign continuously announced the rankings and rewards obtained. Even after each announcement, golden light flashed from his body, embedding into the recipient’s brow center.
Every person receiving a reward wore faces of excitement and thrill.
Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, Master Hongjun, Sword Ancestor, Lotus Master, Lv Zhong, and others gathered together, quietly transmitting their voice in conversation.
“Impressive, Mixed Silkworm old fellow, your disciple Devour Sky actually ranked 50th, your methods of teaching a disciple are quite exceptional.” Sword Ancestor slightly smiled, admiring Mixed Silkworm Ancestor.
Mixed Silkworm Ancestor rolled his eyes instantly, “Are you trying to make me compliment you too? Your disciple Sword Kill ranked 79th, and there’s still Jian Chen who hasn’t appeared.”
“Er, you also have Black Yuan under your name.” Sword Ancestor was taken aback and quickly said.
Hearing Sword Ancestor mention this, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor’s face inexplicably had a hint of shame and annoyance, “Don’t mention us anymore. Certainly, the one to gain the most advantage this time is none other than Old Hongjun. None of his disciples under his seat have fallen. There’s even Lv Zhong who will undoubtedly take the first place. As for Tongtian, Taishang, and Primordial, these three juniors are extraordinarily awesome, managing to enter the top fifty. Damn, I’m beyond Old Hongjun, but my disciples compared to Old Hongjun’s are worlds apart. Damn it—”
At this point, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor directly swore.
Master Hongjun was not as solemn and aloof as he was in the Earth Immortal World, quite the opposite, he was full of smugness, “Hehe, yes, my old self in terms of strength might fall a bit short to you Mixed Silkworm old ghost, but when it comes to disciples, they trumpet the achievements. Haha, Tongtian under my command can easily overshadow your disciples. Even Lv Zhong is surpassing you, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor. Haha, it seems my old self’s judgment is still spot on. I might just have to accept more disciples like Tongtian, Lv Zhong…”
Lotus Master couldn’t hold back the joy inside and burst into laughter.
Sword Ancestor was simply dumbfounded; he had never seen Master Hongjun behaving so conceited.
As for Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, he was almost infuriated to the point of spitting old blood, feeling an extreme disdain in his heart: Damn, his face is really thick. He thinks disciples like Tongtian, Lv Zhong are so easy to find?
The disciples-level Tongtian, Primordial, Taishang, Jian Chen, Sword Kill, Devour Sky, Saint Devourer, Black Yuan, Blue Lotus, among others, while feeling secret amusement, were also utterly astonished.
Most of them hadn’t accumulated ten trillion points, thus couldn’t even see the rankings on the scoreboard above the void.
Naturally, they didn’t know that the one in the first place on the scoreboard was Lv Zhong, and not Mixed Silkworm Ancestor.
Now Master Hongjun’s words inadvertently revealed that Lv Zhong could surpass Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, and Mixed Silkworm Ancestor was left without words, astonishing each disciple of the respected masters.
Previously, though Haoyang Divine Sovereign had mentioned Lv Zhong for vanquishing fifth-rank divine beasts leading to the premature end of the Death Hunting Ground game, many low-level divine beings never considered Lv Zhong could surpass Mixed Silkworm Ancestor. They even thought Lv Zhong might have just had some dogshit luck and gotten lucky. But they dared not imagine Lv Zhong solely relied on his strength to surpass Mixed Silkworm Ancestor.
But now, after overhearing the conversation between Master Hongjun, Sword Ancestor, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, and Lotus Master, they finally realized the kind of monster and abnormality Lv Zhong was.
While they were still competing amongst disciples, Lv Zhong had directly outshone their most respected masters.
At this moment, the disciples of Sword Ancestor, Mixed Silkworm Ancestor, and Lotus Master all looked at Lv Zhong with astonished expressions.
Yet Lv Zhong, with a calm expression, wasn’t even mindful of these gazes. He was already immersing himself in his mind because he faintly sensed that the goddess, due to her severe injury, in the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin], seemed to show signs of awakening.
This was the former owner of the [Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin]!
And before her severe injuries caused her realm to fall, the Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin was equivalent to a Fourth-Rank Pinnacle Dao Artifact, the Great Annihilation Pearl.
The former owner of a Fourth-Rank Pinnacle Dao Artifact could hardly be an ordinary figure.
That’s a true big shot in the God Realm!
If she awakens, it might not necessarily be good news for Lv Zhong.
After all, Lv Zhong had, while she was in slumber, forcibly taken possession of her Dao Artifact.
A once Fourth-Rank Pinnacle Dao Artifact, its value being so high, even in the Sacred God Realm, it might incite Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, and even Divine Sovereigns to craftily confiscate it.
And Lv Zhong had taken advantage of her predicament to force the Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin into recognizing him as its master. This could very well anger this goddess.
Perceiving this goddess might soon awaken, had Lv Zhong’s nerves not been exceedingly sturdy, he’d also feel a chill creeping in at this moment.
“Damn, I just knew delivering those hundred Divine Lights would bring trouble—” Lv Zhong cursed inwardly in depression, secretly using voice transmission to communicate with the Nine Mysterious Cold Dragon Ice Coffin’s spirit, sighing with a bitter smile, “Little Ice, you did say you will assuredly stand by my side to ensure my safety after your old master awakens…” (To be continued.
