Chapter 396: Chapter 394: The Grand Competition Begins! (23rd Update!)

“As for this major contest, I have also gained some understanding, just like before, only now I am the one presiding over it.”

“Ten thousand years ago, my true self once came to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine and discovered a Divine Refining Herb, two Green Cloud Dew, and six Soul Flowers within.”

“The one who obtains the Divine Refining Herb will be the champion of this contest. Those who get the Green Cloud Dew will be second and third place respectively, and those who acquire the Soul Flowers, will be ranked fourth to ninth.”

“Over ten thousand years, these spiritual medicines should have matured by now. Your ten Super Sects, with three hundred thousand disciples, are heading there this time solely to seek these nine spiritual medicines.”

“Of course, this is, after all, the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, filled with countless spiritual medicines. I have also seen numerous bodies of formidable beings lying here, untouched, for their possessions do not catch my eye. If you are fortunate, even if you don’t make the top nine, you might still receive the legacy of these powerful beings or find other spiritual medicines.”

The disciples of these Super Sects had long been entrusted with this task by their Sects, and some had even received the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor Realm before.

Although they had anticipated this, they were still stirred by the Eastern Ancestor’s words and couldn’t wait any longer.

“But I must tell you, the place where these Divine Refining Herbs and other items are located is extremely perilous, and even with my current Pseudo-Emperor Cultivation Base, entering it means a nine in ten chance of death. Each of your Sects has thirty thousand disciples; relying on the strength of a single person is impossible to obtain those items. If you wish to compete for them, you must give your all, understand?” Eastern Ancestor added.

“Thank you for your guidance, Eastern Ancestor!”

Numerous Sect disciples responded.

“Now…”

Eastern Ancestor smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd once more before he abruptly declared, “The contest begins!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

As soon as his words fell, numerous figures dashed into the Mountain of the Divine Medicine at an incredibly fast speed.

The reaction and bodily speeds of these figures were so fast that they vanished in the blink of an eye.

“These beasts!”

Upon seeing this scene, the others’ expressions darkened.

For those who first rushed into the Mountain of the Divine Medicine were disciples from the Demon Domain!

The spiritual objects mentioned by the Eastern Ancestor were obviously in the depths of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. Merely hearing the names of these spiritual objects suggested they were extraordinary and certainly not located on the periphery of the mountain.

The first to rush in had taken the initiative, and it was very likely they would be the first to obtain them.

“The Super Sect competition has always been conducted by our human powerhouses, and we humans are in the majority. If a group of demon beasts were to snatch the ranks from us, what face would we have left to meet our ancestors!”

Liushui Kuanghan shouted to his disciples, “What are you still doing standing around?! Get in there!”

At Giant’s Isle, some quick-reacting individuals were already rushing towards the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. These disciples were not dillydallying; the place was simply too crowded.

The entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine erupted with a roaring sound, as people fought over entry, battling right at the entrance!

Especially the disciples from the Demon Domain, who, after rushing in, took out a Crystal Stone that formed a Light Barrier, blocking off much of the entrance to the mountain.

Completely blocking it off was utterly impossible and not permissible.

But this partial blockade severely affected the speed of those following, also buying a significant amount of time for the people from the Demon Domain.

“They are beasts after all, using such despicable methods!” a disciple cursed.

The expressions of those Sect leaders were also grim, cursing inwardly.

“This is the true means of survival.”

Eastern Ancestor looked at the light barrier at the entrance to Mountain of the Divine Medicine and said indifferently, “For humans, these tactics are too despicable. But in reality, what is despicable and what is not? In the world of martial artists, the victor is king. Everyone facing danger will accuse others of being despicable.”

“Among the human race sects, there are nine of us, yet none has resorted to such acts. Is it unimaginable? No, it just hasn’t been done.”

“The so-called morality of humans hinders the time humans can survive. The so-called benevolence of humans leads to the death of humans themselves.”

“Power is supreme. The so-called heroes exist only in legends. Those who truly survive are all formidable and ruthless.”

Upon hearing these words, the leaders of the super sects were slightly startled.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought of such a method. They just couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

Sealing off the entrance to Mountain of the Divine Medicine was, to them, a display of insecurity. They wouldn’t, and disdained to, do such a thing.

That was why when the disciples from the Demon Domain sealed off most of the entrance, they were enraged.

Something they hadn’t done, something they disdained to do, yet others had done it, after all, left them somewhat frustrated.

“Make way!”

At that moment, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out.

This shout reverberated in everyone’s ears, causing the disciples fighting at the entrance of Mountain of the Divine Medicine to momentarily freeze.

But it was only for a moment. They didn’t really care and continued to scramble for entry.

“Whoosh!”

Just then, a terrifying sword light suddenly fell. The sword light was pitch black, hundreds of feet long, slicing through the void straight toward the light barrier at the entrance.

The sword light was extremely sharp, and before it even fell, the disciples at the entrance of Mountain of the Divine Medicine felt a painful sensation on their bodies.

“One Slash Palace, what are you doing?!”

A disciple looked up, saw the incoming sword light, changed color, and hurriedly headed toward a distant spot.

The others did the same. If they continued to scramble here, they would indeed be struck by the sword light.

However, there was no response from anyone in One Slash Palace. The sword light did not hesitate at all and fell straight down, booming as it smashed the light barrier into smithereens.

When they saw this scene, all the disciples were stunned in place.

It wasn’t because the sword light was too strong, but because… the light barrier was too weak!

They clearly could have shattered this light barrier and quickly entered. There was no need to fight over it here.

But they hadn’t done so, or rather, they hadn’t even thought to do so!

The Demon Domain sealed off most of the light barrier, and they only thought to enter from the unsealed parts to save time.

But this actually didn’t save time and even dragged it out more.

Moreover, almost all the disciples thought that since the light barrier was struck by the Demon Domain, it must be extremely strong; they had no intention of attacking it to try.

Now, seeing the disciples from One Slash Palace instantly shatter this light barrier, the faces of the sect leaders turned grim.

And the disciples, their faces slightly flushed, felt extremely embarrassed.
