The rest of the cultivators and demon beasts that were still in the Mirror World were instantly teleported out. However, they didn't appear where Krune and the rest were staying. Instead, they were sent back to the side of their protectors, who ca along with them. When they looked around and noticed that they were out, they couldn't help but sigh. So were angry, others sad. Nonetheless, they at least asked their protectors how exactly the others passed. Still, that was of no concern for Krune anymore.
Suddenly, the entire protection formation covering the north of the please began to shrink. A few hundred kiloters away from Krune's group, the ground started to transform. Suddenly, an enormous arena appeared, covering over a hundred kiloters!
Krune and the rest of the participants didn't find it strange. As many tests as there might be, the last five slots will be decided by direct confrontation in the end. Otherwise, the Universes that reached this far would definitely not be satisfied.
Norzulun then stepped forward. In the next second, he was right above the center of the arena. Although he couldn't see anything around him, he knew that everyone was watching him through the multi-universal broadcast.
"Congratulations to everyone who got this far. We have been observing all the competitors, and we are proud to say that they all deserve to be here now. As you can imagine, we will conduct one vs. one battles from now on. First, we will use a bracket system until the top 8 are decided. After that, those last eight will fight each other once. The five with the most victories under their belt will get one of the Dalin Universe Slots."
"It's a very simple and straightforward thod. It will also not leave any doubts about who are the ones who deserve to take one of the five seats in Dalin Universe's Managent. Of course, we have a good idea about each participants' strength after observing them during the competition's last three phases. So you don't need to worry, we will use a seed system to separate them so that they will only encounter each other close to the end."
"Obviously, there is a chance that so of the participants are still hiding a lot of their strength. If that is the case, you can only bla yourself if you are put inside a bracket with a seeded cultivator or demon beast. Still, the chances aren't that big, and even if it happens, it won't be more than two or three participants."
"Anyway, I'll now announce the na of 16 seeded participants that we think to have the highest abilities."
"Iem Turo, Dalin Universe, first group."
"Tarande, Enmatio Universe, secong group."
"Waka Ulin, Ulin Universe, third group."
"Tiango, Bondro Universe, fourth group."
"Sara Qanze, Kaleu Universe..."
"Laka, Kizan Universe, tenth group."
Laka was the first surprise. That's because different from previous ones, he wasn't a Peak Divine Path Realm demon beast. Instead, he was still in the 8th Stage.
"Karen Zetial, Orchiv Universe, eleventh group..."
"Krune, Luvile Universe, thirteenth group..."
Sure enough, after everything Krune showed in the multi-universal broadcast, no one would believe that he wasn't a seeded participant. Still, everyone watching it couldn't help but feel surprised to see a wisp in there. Not to ntion that Krune was still in the 7th Stage of the Divine Path Realm. Everyone was curious about that Purple Tribulation Lightning of his too. Of course, now everyone knows about the Luvile Universe, so his ho Universe would soon receive many visitors.
"Hanan Frunkan, Frunkan Universe, Fifteenth group."
Hanan was the only one in Krune's group that didn't raise any surprise. He is a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner while being at the peak of the Divine Path Realm. After what showed in the Soul World and Mirror World, it was quite acceptable for him to be there.
"Mala, Rarcan Universe, sixteenth group."
Norzulun then continued.
"With this, we concluded the separation of the seeded participants. We will once again use another ti accelerating formation so that everyone can recover to their peak state. We will start the last phase in one hour, so make sure to watch it to the end."
Krune wasn't that much injured to start with. However, he entered the ti formation anyway. Why? Obviously, because he would be able to relax for longer, make so food, and think about what he would do. However, he did not share his food with the others this ti.
"You guys ate almost all my food, so I don't have enough for you. Go look for soone else."
Even Laka was rejected this ti, much to his sadness.
The week inside the Ti Accelerating Formation quickly passed. With the Universes behind each of the competitors, they didn't lack any pills to heal themselves. So a week was more than enough for everyone to recover to their peak.
Norzulun once against called everyone over.
"Ti is over! Those who were not picked as seeded participants will now draw lots."
All the remaining participants then went to the center of the arena. There was a formation that made it impossible for them to know which position they would take too. So showed happy faces. Others showed ugly ones. Nonetheless, there was nothing that could be done anymore.
Obviously, the first group began their fight first. Not only that, but the very first battle was between Iem Turo, from Dalin Universe, and a guy called Horune.
Horune knew that he had taken one of the worst lots to be paired with Iem Turo. Still, he was also a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner at the Peak of the Divine Path Realm. That being said, he wasn't afraid at all. He imdiately drew out his weapon and dashed against Iem.
Krune couldn't help but smile after seeing that. That Horune was using one of his Purple Fla Weapons, a Greatsword.
Horune's energy entered the greatsword, and the purple fla began to co out. That was definitely Krune's brand main trait. Without a doubt, that greatsword was genuine.
Horune is a cultivator focused on earth laws primarily. He was almost as good as the Diamond Golem that Krune killed in the Holy Land. The only difference is that although he completed all Sub Laws of Earth, he hasn't fused them into the Major Law of Earth yet. That made a big difference in the power of his earth laws.
When he got close to Iem, he controlled gravity, trying to bring the opponent against himself. He is a pure lee cultivator, so the closer, the better.
Iem felt the gravity acting on himself and snorted.
"Cute!"
Contrary to the others' expectations, Iem didn't try to fight against the gravity, but let it push him against Horune. Not only that, but he also didn't bring out his weapon.
"Is he crazy? That's a Purple Fla Greatsword!"
"Who knows? I don't think that a seeded participant would be reckless."
Horune and Iem arrived in front of each other in a blink of an eye. At the sa ti, Horune's Domain spread, increasing his Earth Related powers even more. But then, Iem made sothing that no one expected. He literally punched against Horune's Purple Fla Greatsword! Not only that, but he didn't use any Domain either!
Even Krune was taken aback by that. As the one who forged that Greatsword, he knows very well how strong it is. He is sure that with the Purple Fla's power, his Greatsword surpassed the Stars Path level, being the sa as a Stars View one. It was a crazy move to use one's body to fight against it, especially when it was in the hands of a Heavenly Divine Soul Owner!
However, what happened next was not a fist being cut in half as everyone thought. Instead, Iem's fist changed in the last mont. It beca transparent as if it was made of glass!
*Bang!*
Horune felt like his Purple Fla Greatsword was hit by a planet! Several kiloters, the space around the two shattered as several spatial storms could be seen inside. The stalemate lasted for half a second when suddenly, Horune's Greatsword was sent flying!
Horune's eyes opened wide. He wasn't only using gravity. He was using all the earth laws to increase the power of the Greatsword to the max! Earth laws are directly related to tals, so one can imagine how strong a weapon like a greatsword would be on Horune's hands. He was also using an Earth Domain, which made it even more terrifying! Still, Horune lost in a direct confrontation against a fist! How ridiculous it sounded?
That event made Horune lose focus for a mont, which was more than sufficient for Iem.
*Puch!*
Horune recovered his attention just in ti to see Iem's second fist passing through his chest! After that, so kind of weird energy made his Earth Sub-Laws dissipate as his Earth Domain crumbled.
He only had enough strength to utter a few words.
"How's that possible?"
Horune's body then fell on the ground.
The judge, who was watching, declared.
"Iem Turo Wins!"
