...
Each clan arrived one after another!
Soon, what appeared to be a somewhat empty grandstand was now filled with figures. All the clans gathered, and the venue turned lively and noisy.
"Since all the clans have arrived, let the battle of the geniuses officially begin!" At this moment, a hoarse and old yet authoritative voice suddenly resounded above the enormous arena.
The clans saw, in the air above the center of the arena, a figure that looked extremely old had appeared at some unknown point in time.
He seemed to be an old man of about one and a half meters in height, with white hair and a white beard, appearing rather ordinary.
However, Shi Feng sensed from this old man an immense and overwhelming aura, like the vast ocean. This was no ordinary old man.
Though the old man's appearance was indistinguishable from that of the Human Clan, Shi Feng noticed his two ears were as pointed and long as those of the Elf Clan, clearly not human.
Nowadays, the Human Clan is in decline. Such peerless powerhouses no longer exist among them.
"Who is this person?" Shi Feng asked towards the Corpse Clan beside him.
Hearing Shi Feng's question, Shii Wu immediately replied, "He is the Longevity Old Demon, a senior of the Demon Race."
"Demon Race!" Shi Feng said.
Shii Wu nodded and continued, "The Longevity Old Demon is the oldest and longest-living being in our Imprisonment World. It is said he has existed for endless ages, from ancient times.
And long ago, the battle of geniuses in the Imprisonment World has been presided over by the Longevity Old Demon, who is also the referee for our past battles of geniuses." ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐.๐๐ธ๐ข
"Oh, so that's how it is." After hearing Shii Wu's words, Shi Feng nodded at her and focused his eyes once again on the Longevity Old Demon in the air above the arena's center.
At this moment, the Longevity Old Demon sternly called out, "Geniuses from each clan, come to the arena!"
As the commanding voice of the Longevity Old Demon echoed, figures immediately flashed from the grandstands of each clan towards the arena.
Shii Wu then spoke to Shi Feng, "The Longevity Old Demon is having you come to the arena; at this moment, it's time to draw lots."
"Mm." Shi Feng softly responded, and in the next instant, his figure swiftly darted towards the arena.
"Devouring Prison! Blood Devouring Clan, Devouring Prison! Currently, the first genius in our Imprisonment World!"
"Ah! The Blood Devouring Clan, Devouring Prison!"
"Evil Eye Clan's Tian Hao!"
"Flame Clan's Flame Venerable!"
"Ancient Netherworld Clan's Gloomy Hide!"
"Purple Scale Clan's Yud Shang!"
...โฆ
As each clan's geniuses landed on the arena, names were immediately called out from the grandstands.
The voices carried weight and surprise, as some geniuses had only been seen not long ago, yet within such a short time, their auras had grown stronger.
As for Shi Feng, concealed as Shii Fan, he became rather unpopular, with no one paying attention to him.
People observed that the Ancient Corpse Clan only sent a Six-star Demigod Level Yin Corpse to compete this time, and no "one" considered this young "weak" Yin Corpse worthy of attention.
The twenty-one families, twenty-one geniuses at this moment stood proudly on the grand arena, each keeping a certain distance from others, yet there was a sense of unity, as if each genius represented a part of the world!
At this point, Shi Feng's pale face suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head.
In the next moment, Shi Feng met eyes with Tian Hao from the Evil Eye Clan, surprised to find Tian Hao looking at him after reaching the arena.
Shi Feng secretly thought, "Could this three-eyed guy have really recognized me?"
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible. The Corpse God is such a figure; the Ancient Corpse Clan, having been in Imprisonment World for so many years, is naturally well-versed in the divine skills of various clans.
Since the Corpse God confidently stated that no one could see through the Corpse Transformation Secret Technique, that included the Evil Eye Clan.
Moreover, this morning, Shi Feng privately discussed with the Corpse God about his third Corrosive Evil Eye.
That day, when Shi Feng saw the leader of the Evil Eye Clan, he immediately noticed Shi Feng's deeply hidden third Corrosive Evil Eye, so Shi Feng worried about revealing a flaw when meeting the leader again.
At that time, the Corpse God reassured Shi Feng, saying the combination of Corpse Transformation Secret Technique and Corpse Transformation Technique, along with a sealing technique of the Ancient Corpse Clan thoroughly sealed Shi Feng's Corrosive Evil Eye, and the Corpse God stated, it was absolutely foolproof!
"It should still be unable to see through my true identity." Shi Feng again secretly thought, as Tian Hao still appeared calm.
And from the Evil Eye Clan's region, the leader of the Evil Eye Clan showed no abnormal reaction as observed by Shi Feng.
The leader kept gazing towards the grandstand. If he could truly see through, he likely would have reacted by now.
It seems, as the Corpse God said indeed, everything is foolproof.
While staring at Shi Feng, Tian Hao's expression slightly changed again. Initially, when he saw this youth from the Ancient Corpse Clan, a strange, indescribable feeling arose in him.
He shouldn't have seen this "person" from the Ancient Corpse Clan before, but the feeling he got was as if he had seen him somewhere, yet he couldn't remember.
Now, unexpectedly, this peculiar youth from the Ancient Corpse Clan was participating in the battle of geniuses, representing the Ancient Corpse Clan. Was this... really just a coincidence?
"Clearly just a Six-star Demigod Level being from the Ancient Corpse Clan, yet why does looking at him give me a sense of danger?" Upon sensing this, Tian Hao's frown deepened further.
"Could it be that defeat at the hands of that human brute that night destabilized my Martial Arts heart?" Tian Hao silently wondered.
"It's said that person has now stepped into the Six-star Demigod Realm, so when I see this Ancient Corpse Clan Six-star Demigod, that peculiar feeling arises?"
"Could that battle have instilled fear in me?"
"No! Impossible! I, Tian Hao, wouldn't be afraid! Such minor setbacks are nothing to me. I, Tian Hao, grow stronger with each battle!"
"Since that's the case, if I get to fight this Ancient Corpse Clan corpse, I'll start by trampling him underfoot to reclaim my strong heart! Battle!"
At this time, Tian Hao silently let out a low cry. His previously furrowed face became incomparably resolute, with an imposing battle intent soaring from his body.
"I, Tian Hao, will first defeat the geniuses from each clan, and one day slay that human brute Shi Feng!"
...
"Lot drawing, begin!" At this moment, another old, hoarse, and authoritative shout came from the mouth of the Longevity Old Demon standing proudly in mid-air.
With this shout, twenty-one streams of light suddenly appeared in mid-air. Like twenty-one streams of Sword Qi, they dispersed in all directions, falling onto the arena.
With the appearance of the streams of light, the geniuses from each clan proudly standing on the arena immediately moved.
