Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 739 - 691 Divine Blade

It seemed that Ye Chen’s quick passage through the assessment and the spreading of his fame by the six-star Lord had stimulated the contestants, making the assessment for the entire elimination competition even more intense.

Many contestants who had previously held back their true strength began to unleash it.

It wasn’t long before one contestant after another eliminated a hundred opponents in succession and newcomers kept entering the Second Ancient Battlefield.

"The second person to pass the first round of the ’great elimination competition’ ... he is ’Mo Yuan’ from the Divine Kingdom’s Western Territory ..."

"The third person to pass the first round of the ’great elimination competition’ ... is ’Fang Lie’ from the Divine Kingdom’s Northern Region ..."

"..."

"The fifth ... Tianyu Beiling ..."

"The tenth ... Hong Chen ..."

Every time a contestant passed the assessment, the six-star Lord who was in charge of the assessments for the nine Divine Institutes would announce the result throughout the entire First Ancient Battlefield.

This announcement immediately invoked envy and admiration among the audience.

Naturally, the six-star Lord only announced the names of the first ten who passed the assessment, not spreading the news of those who passed afterward throughout the First Ancient Battlefield.

However, although their names weren’t broadly declared by the six-star Lord, it didn’t lessen the competition within the First Ancient Battlefield.

With fierce combat underway, more contestants were successively breaking through to the Second Ancient Battlefield.

While some succeeded in passing the assessment, of course, others failed.

Those contestants who were eliminated were kicked out of the First Ancient Battlefield and transmitted to the elimination area outside the ancient battlefield.

In just half a day’s time, the number of martial artists eliminated to the elimination area had reached several hundreds of thousands!

Even though each of the eliminated contestants was utterly dejected,

after all, being eliminated meant losing their precious opportunity to enter the nine Divine Institutes.

But, there were still those who had gained unexpected rewards.

"This youth, although he attacked others and ended up being eliminated by a true goddess from ’Divine Miao Peak’ from one of the four great forces, he is only a six-tribulation true god and was able to withstand three moves from a Divine Miao Peak heir. His potential is quite extraordinary."

"Our ’Gu Ling Divine Institute,’ although not one of the nine Divine Institutes, is still ranked in the top one hundred among all Divine Institutes in the Divine Kingdom."

"Our ’Gu Ling Divine Institute’ is willing to accept this youth to cultivate within our Divine Institute!"

"This girl was truly unlucky. She encountered three lower god-king level ancient beasts simultaneously. However, in such a situation, she managed to slay two of them, and although she was eventually eliminated, her combat strength has caught the eye of our ’Red Desolate Divine Institute’!"

Gold will always shine.

Even among the defeated contestants, as long as they performed well, they could still catch the eye of other Divine Institutes or powers present to witness the assessments and garner a new opportunity to cultivate.

Thus, during the seven days of the "great elimination competition," the assessment continued non-stop.

Many martial artists had successfully eliminated others, smoothly advancing to the second round.

There were also many who were still in the First Ancient Battlefield and did not engage in combat with other contestants, choosing to stay the full seven days of the assessment.

Even more people were eliminated from the competition, either picked up by other powers or losing their opportunity completely.

As time passed by, the number of contestants in the First Ancient Battlefield, the assessment area of the first round of the "great elimination competition," dwindled, while more and more contestants entered the Second Ancient Battlefield.

And when the seven days had completely passed, out of the total of fifty-six million and fifty-three thousand contestants, an astonishing forty-seven million had been eliminated.

Only over nine million had successfully passed the first round of the "great elimination competition" and moved on to the second round.

Among these nine million plus people, the Little Provincial Princess and the ten true goddesses of Divine Miao Peak were all included.

…

The location of the second round of assessments was called the Second Ancient Battlefield.

Among all the contestants, Ye Chen was the first to enter the Second Ancient Battlefield.

On the very first day of the assessment, he had eliminated a hundred true gods from Divine Dragon Mountain and arrived in the Second Ancient Battlefield.

However, as soon as he was transported to the Second Ancient Battlefield, Ye Chen was completely astonished.

For he had been sent to an area that was simply a plain.

And in front of Ye Chen, there appeared a colossal Divine Blade, piercing the earth right in front of him.

This Divine Blade was undoubtedly the largest Ye Chen had ever seen; it was over ten thousand zhang in length, taller than many towering mountains!

Ye Chen could hardly imagine who could wield such a gigantic blade.

What shocked Ye Chen even more were the mysterious prohibitions on the Divine Blade.

Due to these mysterious prohibitions blocking his view, Ye Chen could only see the Divine Blade enveloped in divine light without being able to discern its true appearance.

These prohibitions, even with Ye Chen having acquired the "Nine Volumes of Formation Array," were utterly beyond his comprehension.

"Perhaps this Divine Blade is related to the second round of assessments."

"Maybe, it’s only after all the contestants who successfully pass the first round have arrived in this area that the prohibitions on the Divine Blade will be lifted, and we will be able to see what this Divine Blade actually looks like."

Ye Chen looked up at the heaven-reaching giant blade, speculating in his heart.

In the nine major Divine Institutes’ examination, there was a particular force that severed the spiritual communication between Ye Chen and Xiaojiu.

Ye Chen knew that this was likely the situation caused by the previously mentioned rule by the Six-Star Sovereign Lord, stating that examinees could not rely on external objects for the examination and had to depend solely on themselves.

Meanwhile, within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, although Xiaojiu was restrained by an inexplicable force and couldn’t communicate with Ye Chen,

she could still see everything that was happening outside.

When Ye Chen defeated the hundred True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain and successfully advanced to the second round, both Xiaojiu and the little monkey inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant jumped excitedly.

And when Ye Chen entered the Second Ancient Battlefield and saw the heaven-reaching giant blade ahead, Xiaojiu murmured in astonishment, "Heavens, this blade is an extremely celestial item! It must have been the Divine Blade of a powerful Sovereign Lord!"

Moreover, Xiaojiu also recalled the memories infused by Lord Emperor Yan about which Sovereign Lord in the mountain of Divine Kingdom possessed a Divine Blade of such an extremely celestial level.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen was unable to communicate with Xiaojiu; otherwise, he could have learned some information about this Divine Blade beforehand.

However, Ye Chen was not in a hurry.

Since he had been transported here, what was to happen next would naturally be revealed by the Six-Star Sovereign Lord overseeing the examination of the nine Divine Institutes when the time came.

Thus, Ye Chen spent the following time sitting cross-legged under the giant blade, quietly cultivating.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gradually, as more examinees, like Ye Chen, successfully eliminated a hundred opponents and entered the Second Ancient Battlefield, more and more people gathered around Ye Chen.

Mo Yuan and Tianyu Beiling arrived under the giant blade as well.

However, like Ye Chen, these people were also bound by an unknown force as soon as they were transported here, forced to sit in a fixed area, unable to freely move about in the Second Ancient Battlefield.

This left Mo Yuan, who had wanted to meet Ye Chen after hearing the real rumors about him being the first to reach the Second Ancient Battlefield, helpless and stuck in place.

Those in the field who saw the heaven-reaching giant blade also had expressions of shock on their faces.

A few examinees with significant backgrounds seemed to think of something, their expressions changing.

As more and more examinees passed the examination, the number of figures falling under the giant blade continued to increase.

And when the first round of the examination ended, the figures under the giant blade had become densely packed, totaling over nine million people!

When all those who passed the first round of the examination had arrived, the entire giant blade suddenly trembled, emitting ear-piercing roaring sounds, and shooting out dazzling divine lights.

This great commotion caused Ye Chen and others who had arrived early under the giant blade to open their eyes and look towards it.

Everyone understood that with the quivering of the giant blade, how the second round of the examination would proceed was likely to be announced soon.

Indeed.

After the giant blade trembled for a few breaths, a figure appeared in the void above.

It was none other than the Six-Star Sovereign Lord who presided over the examination of the nine Divine Institutes.

Upon appearing, the Six-Star Sovereign Lord’s gaze swept over the nine million plus examinees below the giant blade.

"First, I want to congratulate all nine hundred thirteen thousand of you for successfully passing the first round of the ’Great Elimination,’" said the Six-Star Sovereign Lord slowly.

"Your performances in the first round were different."

"Some of you took less than an hour to break into the second round." As he said this, the Six-Star Sovereign Lord looked directly at Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged at the very front of the crowd.

Swish!

All gazes turned towards Ye Chen.

Among these gazes were those of the excited Little Provincial Princess, the ten true Goddesses from Divine Miao Peak who were curious about Ye Chen, the young True Gods from Mu King Mansion, the True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain who were still shaken from nearly being eliminated by Ye Chen, Tianyu Beiling who was full of hostility towards Ye Chen, and people like Mo Yuan who wanted to compete with Ye Chen.

Being the focus of countless stares, Ye Chen could only smile wryly and winked back at the Little Provincial Princess and others.

Originally, the first round of the Great Elimination did not involve rankings, and Ye Chen did not wish to attract such attention.

Blame it on the True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain.

Ye Chen’s thoughts were fortunate for Qin Yuntian, the Sect Master of Divine Dragon Mountain, to not have heard; otherwise, Qin Yuntian probably would have spat blood from fury.

After observing Ye Chen, the Six-Star Sovereign Lord continued, "Of course, there are also those who chose to pass all seven days of the examination and then advance to the second round, such a method of advancing."

As he spoke, the Six-Star Sovereign Lord looked towards the Little Provincial Princess and the ten true Goddess maidens from Divine Miao Peak and others.

These individuals chose not to engage in combat with other examinees but instead withstood the onslaught of ancient beasts for seven days, passing the first round of the examination.

"No matter how you passed the first round, it’s not important anymore. Because the first round was only a ’Great Elimination’ and didn’t involve rankings."

"However, from the second round on, we will truly start the ’Ranking Matches.’ The rankings of each round are absolutely important, affecting whether you can advance to the next round, whether you can be selected by the nine Divine Institutes!"

"Next, I will announce the rules for the second round of the examination."

As the Six-Star Sovereign Lord spoke, he pointed his finger towards the void, and the restrictions on the towering giant blade, one by one, began to dissipate.

The full appearance of the heaven-reaching giant blade slowly emerged.
