Martial God Asura

Chapter 6034: The Dueling Ring in Space

“Heavenly God! The Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master has reached Heavenly God level?”

The present-era cultivators, both inside and outside of God’s Era, trembled in excitement.

They had thought that Jie Tianran was the only present-era cultivator at the level of the Heavenly Gods, but who could have thought that the Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master had reached the same height too?

This was great news for the present-era cultivators!

“Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master, you should leave such small fry to me.”

Another powerhouse walked up to Jie Tianran’s side. It was the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

He unleashed his oppressive might too, and it was on par with the other two.

“It’s another Heavenly God! The Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster has reached Heavenly God level too!”

The crowd was astonished.

The Divine Body Heavenly Mansion’s Mansion Master and the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster had been stuck at pinnacle True God level for the longest time. Everyone thought that they had reached their bottleneck, and they would be stuck there for their entire lives.

Yet, they managed to overcome their bottleneck to advance to Heavenly God level!

The shocked gazes from the crowd brought the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster glee, and his confidence swelled. He turned to the Redsoul Sect’s sectmaster and said, “I am the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster. I’ll be your opponent if you wish to challenge the present-era cultivators.”

“Divine Body Heavenly Mansion? Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect? Very well, I’ll remember the two of you and grant you the death you seek so much,” the Redsoul Sect’s sectmaster sneered.

Boom!

Just then, the space started to tremble.

Everyone looked down.

Both the present-era cultivators and the Ancient Era’s cultivators hurriedly backed away from the barrier. They could sense an impending change, and they feared that it would lead to the dissipation of the barrier.

If so, a fight could break out among the Heavenly Gods, and they didn’t want to be caught in it.

Just as they had expected, a crack appeared in the barrier, though it was in an area of the barrier extremely far away from them. The crack swiftly expanded, reaching the size of a realm, but it didn’t stop there. The crack continued growing till it was comparable to a starfield.

A loud explosion followed, and tremendous spirit power gushed out from the crack and formed an elliptical spirit formation gate.

This spirit formation gate was larger than the crack. Even a realm would have looked insignificantly small before it. It was dim, and it emanated tremendous pressure that kept others at bay.

It felt like anyone who approached the spirit formation gate would be killed.

The strongest cultivators gathered in this space suddenly felt how insignificant they were. Everything happening in God’s Era shattered their understanding of their strength.

Weng!

Two pillars of light suddenly surged out from the spirit formation gate. They were directed at the present-era cultivators and the Ancient Era’s cultivators respectively.

Everyone felt a tight squeeze in their hearts. Most people tried to run away, including the arrogant Redsoul Sect’s sectmaster.

Only Jie Tianran stayed put and looked at the descending light pillar with composure. There was an expectant gleam in his eyes.

It happened so fast that the light pillars enveloped everyone before they could escape.

The light pillars didn’t hurt anyone, but they raised massive spirit power shockwaves that rippled outward.

The rippling spirit power formed translucent walls that trapped everyone in. A ground made out of translucent formation bricks manifested under their feet, providing a foothold for them.

The present-era cultivators and Ancient Era’s cultivators were trapped separately, but upon closer examination, what surrounded them appeared to be an incredibly vast dueling ring.

Those outside God’s Era could see it clearer through the mirror than those inside God’s Era.

“It’s a dueling ring. Are they going to cross blows?”

The present-era cultivators outside God’s Era felt expectant yet nervous. They were looking forward to the showdown, but at the same time, they were afraid that their side would lose too. The strongest present-era cultivators were all inside God’s Era. If they lost this showdown, it would be over for the present-era cultivators.

To the crowd’s bewilderment, the barrier separating the present-era cultivators and Ancient Era’s cultivators stood as firmly as ever. It would be impossible for them to clash like that.

Boom!

Two more light pillars descended from the spirit formation gate and landed at the center of both dueling rings. A formation manifested out of each of them.

A resilient crystal platform with runes flowing within it manifested from the formation. It seemed to harness unique energy.

Everyone, including Jie Tianran, examined the crystal platform.

“Lord Mansion Master, pardon our dullness, but we are unable to figure out what’s going on.” The experts of the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion couldn’t make sense of the situation, so they turned to Jie Tianran for answers.

“This crystal platform contains the same aura as that spirit formation gate. I’m guessing that if we wish to enter the spirit formation gate, we’ll have to do so via the crystal platform. However, it doesn’t look like the crystal platform has been fully activated yet.”

Jie Tianran revealed his analysis to the crowd.

“Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master, what about the dueling rings? Why are the present-era cultivators and Ancient Era’s cultivators trapped in two separate dueling rings?” the Heavenly Done Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked.

Jie Tianran didn’t answer the question as he hadn’t figured that part out yet.

Boom!

Two more light pillars descended from the spirit formation gate. The two light pillars didn’t fall in the center but the other side of the dueling rings, and two spirit formation gates soon manifested from them.

These spirit formation gates were open, but they were one-way exits, which meant that they couldn’t enter the spirit formation gates. There were numbers above the spirit formation gates.

The number on Jie Tianran’s side was 9780, whereas the number on the Ancient Era’s side was 352.

“Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Mansion Master, what does that number signify?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked.

Jie Tianran examined the spirit formation gates. The numbers above the spirit formation gates didn’t correspond to their number of people, so he suggested, “Perhaps our opponents aren’t the Ancient Era’s cultivators but someone else.”

“Someone else? Are formation beasts going to emerge from the spirit formation gate?” the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster asked.

“Perhaps,” Jie Tianran replied.

“Hahahaha!”

Loud laughter suddenly echoed from the Ancient Era’s cultivators. It was coming from a ten-meter-tall brawny man who sat coolly by the corner of the dueling ring.

The brawny man sat casually with one hand on the ground to prop himself up while munching on a roasted chicken drumstick he held in his other hand. His lips were covered in oil. He looked much more relaxed than everyone else.

“Interesting. God’s Era is getting pretty interesting! Hahaha! I love it!”

He was also eyeing the numbers above the spirit formation gate, but his unfazed demeanor made it seem as if he was just a bystander watching a show here.

The crowd glanced at him, but they weren’t too concerned with him. His aura revealed that he was a measly rank three True God level cultivator.

It was a miracle that someone that weak could get this far. There was no need to bother themselves with someone of this caliber.

...

Meanwhile, in the realm where Chu Feng and the others were, the humongous spirit formation gate continued to persist in the sky, showing no signs of dissipation.

Chu Feng had been examining it for a while now.
