Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament is about to begin!

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the Heaven-Bestowed Divine Hall.

Seeing the faint shadow formed by order at the top of the Divine Hall, people's hearts raced, and they all held their breath.

Immediately afterward, a faint wisp of pressure permeated out, enveloping the ancient town.

This pressure was not suffocating, nor did it make people feel stressed, but it could make people feel a tremor in their minds.

Heavenly might!

This is heavenly might!

Everyone muttered silently in their hearts.

Thus, it can be said that the figure condensed above the Divine Hall is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Order.

"We respectfully welcome the Heavenly Dao Avatar's manifestation!"

On the plaza, almost everyone knelt on the ground, trembling with fear and sincerity.

Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu were also the same.

Only Jun Wu Xie stood proudly alone.

When the crowd saw that he didn't kneel, they were first stunned, and then secretly sneered.

Facing the Heavenly Dao Avatar, he still dares to be so arrogant, I'm afraid he will face heavenly punishment in the next moment.

The most gloating were the four major forces in the town.

They never expected that this young man from the outside world would be so arrogant.

He actually didn't kneel before the Heavenly Dao Avatar.

Now it's good.

If he is killed by heavenly punishment, they can kill Hua Qi, the pure Emperor Bloodline of Apricot Blossom Village, without any loss, and incidentally kill the two True God Minor Celestial Realm cultivators as well.

"The Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament will be held as scheduled, presided over by me personally."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar was indifferent but very pleasant, it was a female voice.

Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, because her body was too faint, even her gender was difficult to distinguish.

But at this time, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar proved that she was a woman.

Everyone listened quietly, without making a sound.

A scroll flew out from the Heaven-Bestowed Divine Hall and slowly unfolded in the air.

It recorded the names of all the registrants.

Those names lit up, and then cast beams of light, accurately landing on certain young men and women in the crowd.

"There are contestants on the Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament registration roster who are no longer in this world."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar was ethereal and indifferent, echoing in the ancient town.

"After my investigation, they should have arrived at the arena today, but they died at the hands of the Seven Stronghold Alliance.

The Seven Stronghold Alliance killed the contestants on the day of the tournament before the start of the event. I announce that the Seven Stronghold Alliance is stripped of its qualification to participate!"

When the people of the Seven Stronghold Alliance heard this, their bodies shook violently, and they slumped to the ground, filled with remorse.

The rewards of this Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament are considerable. As long as they can get into the county-level competition and win a place, the rewarded resources are what they dream of, and can cultivate experts above the True God Greater Celestial Realm for their alliance!

What a great opportunity that was, but it was missed just like that.

Just because they killed a few contestants from the Green Gang just now!

How could this be!

They simply didn't know there was such a rule.

When their people registered, the Heavenly Dao Order did not mention this rule.

At this moment, they felt that they were too wronged.

Green Gang!

The people of the Seven Stronghold Alliance gnashed their teeth in hatred, wishing they could dig out their bones from the bellies of their mounts and grind them to ashes!

"Now, let me talk about the rules of the additional challenge.

This rule is not within the rules that all contestants understood when they registered.

In today's competition, in addition to competing for the top three according to the usual rules, the winning team or individual can choose whether to undergo the extreme challenge.

The extreme challenge is a one-in-ten chance of survival, so please choose carefully.

The target of the extreme challenge is an opponent of the same realm evolved from the Heavenly Dao Order, possessing the Divine Forbidden Domain of the Nine Heavens of the Ten Directions Myth.

If you win, you will receive rich rewards: three special Divine Fruits of the middle grade of the Third Divine Rank, and a key to an unknown treasure."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned and instantly boiled over.

Special Divine Fruits of the Third Divine Rank, and still middle grade of the Third Rank!

What kind of resources are those?

Even the forces in the town were excited, their breathing quickened, their hearts pounded violently, their eyes were fiery, and they were extremely eager.

Not to mention resources of the Third Divine Rank, they had never even seen high-grade resources of the Second Divine Rank.

If they had high-grade resources of the Second Divine Rank, they would be able to cultivate to the realm of the True God Greater Celestial Realm, and would not be forever trapped in the realm of the Middle Celestial Realm and unable to break through.

Third Divine Rank, what kind of grade is that?

That only exists in legends!

Whether anyone in this world has ever found resources of the Third Divine Rank is debatable.

Such resources, not to mention their small town, even the top forces in the world are eager for them!

With resources of the Third Divine Rank, there is the hope of impacting the Heavenly God Realm powerhouse!

Heavenly God!

What a lofty powerhouse that is.

So far, no one has been heard of breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm.

Perhaps there are Heavenly Gods in those top forces, but it is all speculation, and the possibility is very small.

Now, their town-level Heaven-Bestowed Battle Tournament actually has middle-grade resources of the Third Divine Rank as a reward!

In addition to the resources of the Third Divine Rank, there is also a key to an unknown treasure.

Who knows how many good things are hidden in that treasure.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Order would not put the key to the treasure in the prize of the extreme challenge.

"May I ask, Heavenly Dao Avatar, is it permissible for multiple people to participate in the extreme challenge together?"

Asked a high-level member of the Overlord Sword Manor.

"It is naturally permissible. However many people there are in the winning team in the competition, that many people can participate in the challenge together.

What other questions do you have? Feel free to ask."

The people of the Overlord Sword Manor felt a little relieved when they heard this.

But then they thought that the extreme challenge is facing a powerful opponent with the Divine Forbidden Domain of the Nine Heavens of the Ten Directions Myth.

None of their contestants can reach this level, far from it.

However, if they use forbidden weapons, it will be different.

They did not ask whether they could use forbidden weapons.

After all, the rules mentioned by the Heavenly Dao Avatar did not specifically mention that forbidden weapons are not allowed.

Then, they can just take advantage of this loophole.

If they ask at this moment and the Heavenly Dao Avatar adds a rule on the spot, then their hope will be completely cut off.

"Heavenly Dao Avatar, we have one more thing, but it is not about the competition. We don't know if we should ask."

This time it was the Sect Master of the Raging Saber Sect who spoke.

He was naturally eyeing the prize of the extreme challenge, determined to win the Third Divine Rank resources.

However, before the start of the competition, it is necessary to eliminate obstacles as much as possible.

"Speak."

The Heavenly Dao Avatar said indifferently.

"Supreme Heavenly Dao Avatar, you are the highest existence in this world, to be admired and worshipped by all beings.

Your heavenly might is vast and descending upon the human world, all living beings welcome and kneel.

But here, there is a contestant who dares to offend your supreme heavenly might. Please bestow heavenly punishment to show him a lesson!"

The Sect Master of the Raging Saber Sect pointed at Jun Wu Xie, who was standing proudly alone on the plaza.

Hearing him say this, Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu, who were kneeling beside Jun Wu Xie, tensed up, their hearts in their throats, extremely nervous.

Young Master Jun is proud and is very likely to be the reincarnation of the Yu Emperor. He does not kneel to the Heavenly Dao Avatar. If the Heavenly Dao Avatar really bestows heavenly punishment, what should they do!

Although Young Master Jun is strong, he will definitely not be able to resist if he faces heavenly might directly.

"The Sect Master of the Raging Saber Sect is right. This Jun Wu Xie despises the Heavenly Dao. His posture is a great disrespect to the supreme and strongest you!"

"Please, supreme Heavenly Dao Avatar, bestow heavenly punishment to show him a lesson!"

"Please, Heavenly Dao Avatar, punish the outsider Jun Wu Xie!"

......

For a time, the entire plaza was filled with voices requesting heavenly punishment.

If it were at other times, they would not dare to say these words against him in front of Jun Wu Xie at all.

But the situation is different now. The Heavenly Dao Avatar is here.

If she bestows heavenly might, Jun Wu Xie will undoubtedly die!

Especially the various forces, they are extremely expectant.

As long as Jun Wu Xie is resolved, their chances of getting the Third Rank Divine Fruit will be greatly increased.

Otherwise, with such a competitor, it will be extremely difficult and challenging to win in front of him.

"The competition is imminent, why make a fuss over trivial matters."

This was the response given by the Heavenly Dao Avatar, which stunned everyone.

What?

The Heavenly Dao Avatar is not going to punish this person who offended her heavenly might?

"Supreme and strongest Heavenly Dao Avatar, your heavenly might cannot be offended. This person is challenging you.

If you do not bestow heavenly punishment upon him, I am afraid it will damage your majesty!"

"Yes, Heavenly Dao Avatar, you just stripped the Seven Stronghold Alliance of their qualifications because they killed the contestants.

Now, this person offends your majesty. If you do not punish him, it would be unfair!"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The Heavenly Dao Avatar's voice was indifferent.

At the moment the voice fell, vast heavenly might descended from the sky.

In an instant, it was as if the entire sky had pressed down.

Those who spoke were suddenly shocked, and their whole bodies were completely lying on the ground, unable to move.

A terrifying pressure locked them, making them feel that they were about to walk into the abyss of death.

This feeling made them panic, and their Dao hearts were about to collapse!

"Spare us, Heavenly Dao Avatar, spare us. We misspoke. We will never dare to do it again. Please forgive us!"

They cried out in horror.

The heavenly might that locked them dissipated, but they were limp all over, lying on the ground like a pool of mud, breathing heavily.

Their bodies twitched from time to time because the fear in their hearts had not completely disappeared.

Those who did not speak felt terrified and deeply puzzled.

What is the origin of that outsider youth?

Even the Heavenly Dao Avatar does not care about his crime of offense!

What kind of person can make the Heavenly Dao Avatar treat him so specially?

At this moment, Hua Qi, kneeling beside Jun Wu Xie, had his heart full of trepidation and nervousness transformed into excitement and elation.

What kind of master is my master, after all?

To actually be treated this way by the Heavenly Dao, not only was he not punished, but he even intimidated those who proposed punishing him.

Master is truly amazing!

Hua Qing and Hua Hu were equally shocked and excited.

They felt that the Heavenly Dao Avatar must have recognized the origin of Lord Jun.

A reincarnated body of a Cosmic Emperor, hence this special privilege, causing the Heavenly Dao Avatar to treat him specially.

"Do you all still have questions?"

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar resounded.

"No… no more…"

Everyone trembled and hurriedly responded.

"Since there are no more questions, let the drawing of lots begin now, and ascend the stage to battle according to the sequence number drawn."

The figure of the Heavenly Dao Avatar flashed and arrived at the center of the plaza from above the temple.

A diagram of runes appeared beneath her feet.

Immediately, the diagram of runes transformed into a battle arena, a platform as if materialized, slowly rising from the ground.

The platform was over a hundred meters in radius.

According to the rules of this world, such a battle arena was sufficient for those who ascended the stage to unleash their skills.

The Heavenly Dao Avatar spread out her palm, and small balls of light flew down from the stage, hovering in the air.

The participating forces came up one after another to draw lots.

Jun Wu Xie let Hua Qi randomly draw one.

The ball of light transformed into a page of paper in his hand, and words slowly appeared on it.

"Master, I don't know if our luck is good or bad, but we actually drew the first match…"

Hua Qi showed the paper in his hand to Jun Wu Xie.

The words on it clearly read: First match, opponent — Raging Blade Sect.

"Whether our luck is good or not is another matter, but the Raging Blade Sect's luck is definitely terrible."

Jun Wu Xie glanced at the words on the paper and then looked towards the Raging Blade Sect.

Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu followed suit and saw the people of the Raging Blade Sect with ashen faces, looking as if they had swallowed flies.

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Raging Blade Sect slowly clenched his palm, tightly gripping the paper in his hand.

He had the urge to vomit blood.

How could they draw Apricot Flower Village in the first match?

Although they wanted to fight Apricot Flower Village and kill Hua Qi in the battle,

it shouldn't have been in the first match.

According to the original plan, the first match could gain an advantage, having the opportunity to kill Hua Qi first.

However, with the Heavenly Dao Avatar adding challenge rules, their plan had changed.

First of all, they had to ensure a basic score.

If they were defeated by Apricot Flower Village in the first round, then they were destined to have no chance of winning the championship.

Originally, they had thought of using the advantage of numbers to gain more points in each round, and after a few rounds, they could surpass Apricot Flower Village in points.

At that time, even if they lost in the final battle against Jun Wu Xie, their total score might still be higher than Apricot Flower Village's.

In that case, they would still have a chance to win the championship.

Now, drawing to fight against Apricot Flower Village in the first round, everything was over.

"Damn it, we have bad luck, it seems we have no chance of winning the championship!

Since we can't win the championship, we can only settle for second best!

Listen carefully, when fighting Hua Qi, be sure to kill him on the arena!

With Hua Qi's realm, even if he possesses pure Emperor Blood and extremely high talent growth, you have the advantage in realm, and by activating forbidden artifacts, you can definitely kill him with one strike!

Do not give Jun Wu Xie a chance to rescue him, you must kill Hua Qi instantly before he can react!"

The Sect Master of the Raging Blade Sect had a gloomy look in his eyes, secretly speaking to the participants in the sect with his divine sense.

Since they had no chance of winning the championship, they would firmly grasp the opportunity to kill Hua Qi in their hands.

As long as they attracted the attention of the existence behind Mang Village, the Raging Blade Sect would also have a chance to rise to prominence!
