Supreme Devouring God

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Ascending the Heavenly Ladder!

”Who among you is Qin Chen?”

At that moment,

a young man suddenly ran over, his face full of arrogance.

”Yun Xing?”

Seeing the young man, Ancient City Fei immediately furrowed his brows.

”Ancient City Fei, wait for the second segment. The first person I’ll challenge is you. You’d better be prepared!”

Seeing Ancient City Fei, a trace of contempt appeared on Yun Xing’s face.

”The one who needs to be prepared is you!”

Clearly, there had been conflicts between Ancient City Fei and Yun Xing before, as his eyes emitted fire.

”Are you looking for me?”

Qin Chen slightly raised his head, looking towards Yun Xing.

”Are you Qin Chen?”

At this time, hearing the voice, Yun Xing looked over.

Qin Chen slightly nodded.

”Sister Tianxue asked me to give you a message.”

Yun Xing’s face was filled with disdain as he looked at Qin Chen.

”Speak your piece if you have one, otherwise leave!”

Seeing Yun Xing’s arrogant demeanor, Qin Chen’s eyebrows furrowed.

Hearing Qin Chen’s shout, not to mention Yun Xing, even Ancient City Fei and others couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

”Well done, Qin Chen!”

Nearby, Sheng Xuefu’s face was full of joy.

The surrounding disciples of the Thunder Sky Sect, including Dai Yinrui and others, involuntarily twitched at the corners of their mouths.

”She told me to tell you that today, she will completely crush you underfoot!”

Yun Xing obviously did not expect Qin Chen’s attitude towards him, and his tone of speech was very poor.

As Yun Xing finished speaking, many from the Thunder Sky Sect had strange expressions on their faces.

Clearly,

they had all noticed that there seemed to be some conflict between Qin Chen and Luu Tianxue.

Hearing this sentence, Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked towards the area where the Azure Sky Sword Sect was stationed and also saw Luu Tianxue.

”Then tell her, if she wants to crush me underfoot, she’s not nearly qualified enough!”

Qin Chen’s expression was icy.

He hadn’t anticipated

that this woman would challenge him so provocatively before he had even made a move.

This completely dissolved the last shred of mercy Qin Chen had for Luu Tianxue!

Hearing Qin Chen’s words, Yun Xing’s face instantly turned to an iron blue color, and his expression was very ugly.

Then,

he did not linger any longer, turning his head toward the Azure Sky Sword Sect’s camp.

”Truly worthy of someone from the Saint Institute, so imposing!”

At this moment, Sheng Xuefu came over with a beaming smile on her face.

”Qin Chen.”

At this time, Elder Yun’s voice came through.

”Elder Yun.”

Qin Chen hastily greeted him respectfully.

”Yun Xing is one of the five people from the Azure Sky Sword Sect participating in the grand competition this time. Although he’s only ranked fifth, his strength might be much stronger than yours. Be careful.”

Hearing this, Qin Chen smiled and nodded.

From the aura that Yun Xing had emitted a while ago, Qin Chen knew that Yun Xing was not an ordinary individual.

Such a person, within the lineup of the Azure Sky Sword Sect, could only rank fifth.

This also directly indicated that the Azure Sky Sword Sect was worthy of being the leading sect in Thunder State for so many years.

”Alright, since all fourteen sects of Thunder State have now gathered, I hereby announce that the Thunder State Sect Tournament officially begins!”

At that moment,

Lei Shan stood in the center of Thunder State Hall. Although far away, his voice must have been amplified by Elemental Power, which made it very loud.

Following Lei Shan’s words,

the originally noisy Thunder State Hall instantly became quiet.

”This time, the sects participating in the sect tournament total fourteen.”

”They are...”

”Azure Sky Sword Sect!”

As Lei Shan’s words fell, all the disciples of the Azure Sky Sword Sect lifted their heads and puffed out their chests, wearing proud expressions.

The surrounding disciples from the other sects all showed faces of dread.

Clearly,

everyone knew that, this time in the sect tournament, the Azure Sky Sword Sect would be the toughest opponent.

”Green Cloud Sect!”

”Cloud Sea Sect!”

”...”

”Thunder Sky Sect!”

By the time the last name was called, some laughter erupted inside Thunder State Hall.

At Thunder Sky Sect, Dai Yinrui and others looked extremely displeased.

The faces of the disciples from Thunder Sky Sect, including Ancient City Fei, were filled with anger.

For those pursuing Martial Cultivation, face and dignity were evidently very important.

The surrounding people’s disdain for Thunder Sky Sect was akin to directly trampling on their dignity, naturally infuriating them.

”Next, ascend the Heavenly Ladder!”

With Lei Shan’s voice ringing out,

A colossal Heavenly Ladder slowly rose from the center of the stage.

This ladder was immensely huge, presumably able to accommodate hundreds of people simultaneously.

It was colored white.

At this moment, though quite far away,

Qin Chen could still feel waves of formidable pressure emanating from the ladder.

Clearly,

This ladder was not an easy climb.

”I believe everyone is already aware of the rules for this grand competition, so I won’t say much more. Now, please, disciples of each Sect, begin climbing the Heavenly Ladder!”

Upon finishing his words, Lei Shan stepped back.

By this time, the disciples from the fourteen competing sects had all stood up.

”Let me, Zhang Rui, be the first to try and see just how difficult this Heavenly Ladder really is.”

At that moment, a disciple from Cloud Sea Sect, full of enthusiasm and ready for a big challenge, was the first to rush up the ladder.

First Level!

Zhang Rui stepped onto the first level smoothly and subsequently revealed a slight smirk.

”Pretty easy!”

Seeming extremely relaxed, Zhang Rui didn’t hesitate and intended to step directly onto the Second Level.

Bang!

However,

Just as he stepped onto the Second Level, a tremendous pressure struck him, instantly sweeping him off the ladder.

”Hahaha!”

Seeing this scene, the Thunder State Hall immediately erupted into laughter.

”Cloud Sea Sect’s Zhang Rui, scored, one hundred points!”

At this time, a referee announced on the side.

At Cloud Sea Sect, the expressions were displeased.

”What exactly is Zhang Rui doing?”

The disciples of Cloud Sea Sect felt incredibly embarrassed.

After all,

There were over a hundred thousand people watching, and every action represented the image of Cloud Sea Sect.

”Yun Zhenhai, it seems the disciples of your Sect are indeed quite exceptional.”

From the main seat, Duan Qingqian’s lips curved into a derisive smile.

Yun Zhenhai’s face looked terribly upset, and he had already cursed Zhang Rui thousands of times in his heart.

Though Duan Qingqian’s words seemed complimentary, everyone knew he was unmistakably mocking Cloud Sea Sect.

”Is it really that difficult?”

On Thunder Sky Sect’s side, Ancient City Fei’s expression changed.

”It’s his frivolous nature. This Heavenly Ladder not only tests cultivation, but more so, the Martial Arts Heart, or perhaps talent and gifts.”

Qin Chen pointed it out bluntly.

Tap tap tap tap!

However, just at that moment, a figure flashed by.

By the time everyone reacted, this person had already reached the Fifth Level.

”It’s Liang Hongru!”

Seeing the youth who directly advanced to the Fifth Level, Ancient City Fei exclaimed from beside Qin Chen.

Just like Ancient City Fei’s reaction, the entire Thunder State Hall erupted in shocked exclamations.

Clearly,

Everyone was startled by Liang Hongru’s sudden move.

In stark contrast to Zhang Rui, who was blown away at the Second Level, here was someone who effortlessly reached the Fifth Level.

A tremendous difference!

”Let’s not delay, we should head over as well.”

Seeing this, Qin Chen’s eyes flickered, and he moved towards the ladder.
