Chapter 661: Chapter 531: The Conflict on Tian Shou Mountain Peak, Clash of Forces

As the Eighth Realm of the World Decree continued, more and more eliminated contestants rode their Winged Soul Pets, hovering at an altitude of over five hundred meters.

These people were almost all eliminated contestants, but they didn’t plan to leave just like that. Instead, they observed the entire event from a distance!

The number of prisoners was rapidly decreasing, and more and more Prisoner Rings fell into the hands of the contestants. Those prisoners who had eliminated five contestants would also be sent off Tian Shou East Mountain.

As a result, the number of people on Tian Shou East Mountain had decreased significantly. Those who could truly remain in the battlefield were the top experts among the second tier!

“Isn’t that Soul Hall’s Chu Chen? It’s really unexpected that he can persist until now. Many of the top ten strength-ranked contestants from major powers have been eliminated!” Contestants hovering in the sky who were paying close attention to the battles quickly noticed Chu Mu.

In this Eighth Realm, Li Zhan, the third-ranked powerhouse in the Soul Hall, and Lu Shan Li, the third-ranked powerhouse of the Nightmare Demon Palace, had already been eliminated. It could be said that these two experts, who were targeted by those hidden strong ones, quit the competition before entering the Ninth Realm, which came as a great surprise to many.

Among the remaining contestants, most should be members ranked in the top five in strength of the major powers. In theory, Soul Hall’s Chu Chen shouldn’t have appeared in this lineup. People didn’t know whether this guy was lucky or if he had been hiding his strength all along.

“Shang Heng, so you were hanging in the sky early on.” A man controlling a black soul pet floated over from a short distance away.

Shang Heng glanced over and quickly showed a surprised expression.

Floating towards him was Luo Bing, the second-ranked powerhouse in Soul Hall. What he couldn’t have imagined was that this powerful person, who was second only to Young Master Fang Ze, would also be eliminated in the Eighth Realm!!

“Luo Bing, what happened? How come even you…” Ting Lan looked at Luo Bing, speaking in disbelief.

Luo Bing was widely acknowledged as the second-strongest person in the entire second-tier of the Soul Hall. With his strength, entering the Ninth Realm should not have been a problem…

“Hehe, just now, those people were all exclaiming and shouting when they saw me.” Luo Bing forced a self-deprecating smile and began, “I was very unlucky. I ran into that guy from Nightmare Demon Palace, and without a word, he launched an attack on me…”

“Nightmare Demon Palace? Are you talking about Jiang Yiteng?!” Shang Heng stared wide-eyed.

Luo Bing forced a bitter smile, “Who else could it be? I originally thought that even if I met him, escaping and hiding shouldn’t be a problem, but he was much stronger than I had imagined, especially his Nightmare Demon… Only Fang Ze in our Soul Hall can deal with it.”

“How long did you probably fight him for?” Ting Lan asked.

“Less than five minutes, and all my soul pets were defeated.” Luo Bing said.

“Even you couldn’t last for five minutes…” Shang Heng gasped. Luo Bing was, after all, the second-strongest person in Soul Hall, and he was defeated in such a short time.

“No wonder I kept hearing those eliminated contestants say that there is no hope for our Soul Hall to achieve the final glory in the second tier this time.” Ting Lan muttered in a low voice.

“Yes, Li Zhan was eliminated early on, and with serious injuries. Although I didn’t suffer any losses, I am now like you guys, helplessly watching from the sky. Only Fang Ze is left. When I was flying over just now, I encountered some Nightmare Demon Palace contestants. They were all gloating and disrespectful, making me very uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for the competition guards being there, I would have taught them a lesson!” Luo Bing said angrily.

Eliminated contestants had no chance to win glory, but they were still eager for their power’s strong representatives to stand out. At this point, their positions were very obvious.

“No matter, our Soul Hall still has Chu Chen.” Shang Heng said.

“Chu Chen? Alright… I hope he can break through the Eighth Realm so that the contestants from our Soul Hall who enter the Ninth Realm won’t be too shabby.” Luo Bing sighed.

Chu Chen just broke through the Eighth Realm? Ting Lan and Shang Heng didn’t think so. They knew that a few days ago, Lu Shan Li, who was ranked third in Nightmare Demon Palace, was completely trampled by Chu Chen!

…

Time was approaching the late stage of the Eighth Realm. Most of the remaining contestants had gathered near the highest main peak of Tian Shou East Mountain.

Contestants didn’t rush to jump to the mountain peak right away since whoever jumped to the peak first would be seen as challenging all contestants, becoming the target of everyone’s attack.

So, now most contestants were wandering around the foot and waist of the main mountain. Some hid in certain places, waiting for the end of the Eighth Realm.

However, the main mountain wasn’t that vast. As long as the contestants were moving, some friction would still occur, especially for those prisoners who hadn’t eliminated five contestants yet. They were racking their brains to search for contestants near the main mountain.

Both contestants and prisoners had mostly gathered near the main peak. The eliminated watchers also hovered in groups above the main peak of Tian Shou Mountain, looking down from a high altitude.

By this late stage, almost all contestants’ general movements could be captured by these watchers. Surrounding the powers, these contestants from the Soul Covenant, Nightmare Demon Palace, Soul Pet Palace, Soul Hall, Business Association, Elemental Gate, and many others had mostly gone their separate ways, constantly focusing on the representatives of their respective forces.

“Someone has climbed to the highest peak!!!”

Suddenly, several watchers pointed at the main peak of Tian Shou Mountain and shouted loudly!

Daring to stand at the highest peak of the mountain is undoubtedly a challenge to all contestants. If one’s strength cannot truly deter everyone, standing on the highest peak would simply be seeking one’s death!

“Who could it be to have such courage? Their strength must be strong too!” Contestants all used their Soul Sense to lock onto the position of the highest peak.

“It’s the Little Prince of the Nightmare Demon Palace, Jiang Yiteng!”

“The Nightmare Demon Palace people are always so arrogant!”

Soon, the onlookers from the Nightmare Demon Palace wore smiles on their faces. Standing at the highest point of the mountain peak represented true authority!

And that person was one of their Nightmare Demon Palace members. The onlookers from the palace naturally felt proud, especially with the imposing presence of their strongest member standing on top of the main peak of Tian Shou Mountain, unchallenged for a long time!

“If you don’t have the guts, just watch from afar. Our Little Prince from the Nightmare Demon Palace is the strongest in the second tier. If you disagree, let your Young Master Fang Ze come and compete with our Little Prince… Haha, the people from the Soul Hall are all trash.” The Nightmare Demon Palace onlookers were suddenly invigorated and began to openly mock the eliminated contestants from the Soul Hall.

Currently lacking confidence, the contestants from the Soul Hall could only endure in silence.

Young Master Fang Ze had yet to appear, and from this height, everyone couldn’t spot Young Master Fang Ze’s figure.

“These dogs are taking themselves too seriously. Have they forgotten how I, Li Hen, trampled them six years ago?” Li Hen, hearing the taunts from the Nightmare Demon Palace’s people, couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

However, as a competition guard, he naturally couldn’t make any inappropriate moves and could only watch from afar.

“Brother Li Hen, this time… we couldn’t bring glory to the Soul Hall. We are truly ashamed…” Luo Bing said, feeling disheartened.

“Someone else has reached the top of the mountain…” Shang Heng pointed at Tian Shou Mountain and another contestant who had jumped to the top of the peak.

“Is it Fang Ze?” Ting Lan asked.

Jiang Yiteng, the strongest of the Nightmare Demon Palace, was sitting at the highest peak. Only the strongest from the major powers had the qualifications to climb up.

The powerful members from the Soul Pet Palace usually didn’t engage in such contests. The powerful members of the Business Association, Elemental Gate, and other major Worlds did not have the qualifications to compete with the Little Prince of the Nightmare Demon Palace.

The only person who might directly challenge Jiang Yiteng, the strongest of the Nightmare Demon Palace, was Young Master of the Soul Hall, Fang Ze. Therefore, when someone entered the top of Tian Shou Mountain, the members of the Soul Hall were filled with anticipation.

As long as Fang Ze defeated Jiang Yiteng, the members of the Nightmare Demon Palace would shut up.

However… what everyone saw was not Young Master Fang Ze of the Soul Hall…

“Hahaha, it’s Xing Yang!” Suddenly, the Nightmare Demon Palace contestants in the sky shouted loudly, their provocative voices clearly intended to provoke all the members of the Soul Hall.

Xing Yang of the Nightmare Demon Palace was a very secretive and powerful member, ranked second among the second tier in the Nightmare Demon Palace.

There were once rumors that Jiang Yiteng and Xing Yang had battled, and at least a year ago, they were evenly matched.

That is to say, the strength gap between the first and second strongest members of the Nightmare Demon Palace was not significant. If both of them were sitting on top of Tian Shou Mountain, it would be a complete domination of this position by their power!

Now, almost all contestants are hovering around the main peak, where the prisoners are also located. Undoubtedly, more contestants would be eliminated.

If the two strongest members of the Nightmare Demon Palace occupied the main peak’s position, it would be equivalent to planting their flag on the peak, and all the Eighth Realm Nightmare Demon Palace members would immediately ascend the mountain to gather together.

As a result, a large number of Nightmare Demon Palace members would succeed in breaking through the realm, entering the final Ninth Realm. This would give the Nightmare Demon Palace a huge advantage in striving for the final glory of the Ninth Realm!

“It’s over. Even if Fang Ze comes now, it won’t help, unless the young master joins forces with the strongest from the Soul Pet Palace…”

The onlookers from the Soul Hall had ugly expressions on their faces. This situation was highly unfavorable to their Soul Hall. Jiang Yiteng and Xing Yang of the Nightmare Demon Palace were deliberately shielding their own contestants to enter the Ninth Realm!

“This time, our Soul Hall doesn’t have much hope of seizing the final glory.” Luo Bing sighed deeply.

If he hadn’t been eliminated, he could have joined forces with Fang Ze to kick those two off the peak. Unfortunately, his luck was terrible, and he encountered Jiang Yiteng too early.

…

“Strange… why is Chu Chen still heading up the mountain… Doesn’t he know that Jiang Yiteng and Xing Yang are on top?” Ting Lan, who had been paying close attention to Chu Mu’s movements, revealed a puzzled expression on her face.
