Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 784: Chapter 783: The Third Level Begins!

Actually, it was not only in Liuyun’s place, but also in both the Dragon Martial Trading House and the Cloud Sea Trading House that the same scene unfolded.

Hong Chen, with two hundred billion low-grade spirit stones, placed his bets within the Dragon Martial Trading House, while Shangguan Mingxin, also with two hundred billion low-grade spirit stones, placed her bets within the Myriad Treasures Trading House.

In total, six hundred billion spirit stones were at stake, a truly colossal sum, and the last bit of assets that Su Han possessed.

Previously, he had auctioned off pill formulas and equipment sigils, acquiring quite a number of low-grade spirit stones, and then he had killed many from the grand powers in the ancient battlefield. Naturally, Su Han obtained their space rings, and all the spirit stones and other items within them became his property.

After all the accumulation, Su Han possessed this wealth of six hundred billion, and this time, Su Han could be said to be staking it all.

With the current odds of Phoenix Sect, if they could secure the first place, then at twenty times the odds, six hundred billion would become... twelve trillion!!!

This colossal amount of spirit stones, enough to alarm even the Top Ten Super Sects, was beyond their available cash flow. The only ones that could possess such funds were these three commercial houses that conducted business across the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

If he truly won, then Su Han, and also the Phoenix Sect, would instantly become the fourth wealthiest force throughout the Dragon Martial Continent!

Of course, if he lost, then all of Su Han’s assets would be forfeited, just as the chubby man had told Liuyun before, resulting in a truly disastrous loss.

The first place in the third round must be secured, winning is imperative!

As for the disguises of both Hong Chen and Liuyun, they had been altered by Su Han. With Su Han’s skills in disguise, combined with his power, even an ordinary Dragon Emperor wouldn’t possibly recognize them.

Many people guessed that those placing the bets must be from the Phoenix Sect, otherwise, why would they have so much confidence in the Phoenix Sect? Some speculated whether these three individuals belonged to the same force?

But on second thought, how could the Phoenix Sect have so much wealth? The three together were staking a total of six hundred billion, a sum so enormous that only super sects and certain families would not blink an eye before offering up, while even first-class sects would find themselves stretched thin.

This was also why Su Han had intentionally done this, as the saying goes, ”A poor man is free from blame, but the bearer of a gem will be blamed.”

If people guessed that Liuyun and others were from the Phoenix Sect, they would certainly question where the Phoenix Sect got so much money from?

And once that was questioned, then the events of the auction would naturally be associated, and then, many grand powers would have their eyes on the Phoenix Sect, targeting Su Han!

With the strategic mind that Su Han had cultivated over billions of years, he naturally made thorough preparations for these eventualities.

...

The betting continued, and during this process, three days quickly passed.

On the morning of the fourth day, countless grand powers once again gathered at Central Domain Square, participating in the third round; the one hundred forces that would stand at the forefront.

These one hundred forces, could certainly enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, as possessing a top hundred rank would grant them a fifth-level pass.

In these few days, Su Han had roughly researched these one hundred forces, which included the Top Ten Super Sects, the Thirteen Families, then the Three Great Commercial Houses, Nine Heavens Tower among others, with the majority being first-class sects.

Including Chang’an Mountain Gate, Bright Moon Sect, and other forces among these, a total of fifty-eight first-class sects entered the top hundred.

The rest were Second-Rate Sects.

Rainforest Sect didn’t make it to the top hundred, which meant they had lost their chance to enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal.

Perhaps it was due to luck, or other reasons, but the one hundred sects that stood there were decidedly the most powerful hundred sects throughout the Dragon Martial Continent.

Although many people believe that the Phoenix Sect is extremely lucky, it must be acknowledged that they have come this far due to their undeniable strength.

The third challenge is the arena contest.

Through the arena contest, competitors vie for the first place, the top three, the top ten, and so forth.

After the third challenge, the Dragon Martial Intent will decide what kind of pass each sect will receive, based on the comprehensive evaluation of the first three challenges and the potential of each sect.

Undoubtedly, sects ranked in the top three will certainly receive a First-Level Pass, and those in the top ten will receive a Second-Level Pass.

As for what kind of pass the sect ranked first will receive, it is difficult to say.

”Ladies and Gentlemen!”

Standing on that enormous Void Warship, the Eastern Ancestor swept his gaze over those below and smiled, ”After the first two challenges, the remaining one hundred sects are the pillars of the Dragon Martial Continent, and all capable of entering the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal. However, what type of pass you will receive depends on your performance in the third challenge.”

”The third challenge still has no specific rules; rankings will be decided through the arena contest. However, one aspect remains the same as the previous challenges—that is... life or death is inconsequential.”

”If you feel unable to defeat your opponent, you may immediately concede. Once a concession is made, the match will end, and further killing is forbidden; otherwise, qualification to enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal will be directly revoked.”

”There are endless perils within the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal. The reason why life or death is inconsequential is also to let you all understand that if you are too weak, entering the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal is merely courting death.”

”Well then...”

The Eastern Ancestor took a deep breath, said in a solemn voice, ”Now I declare, the third challenge, begins!”

”Roar~~”

As his words fell, a huge stone platform immediately rose from the ground in the center of the square. The stone platform, with a diameter of at least ten thousand miles, rose about three hundred feet before it came to a halt.

”Whirr whirr whirr!”

Beams of light shot out from the stone platform, transforming into individual arenas. There were fifty in total, designated for use by the one hundred sects participating in the third challenge.

”Many people feel that the first and second challenges involved great fortune,” said the Eastern Ancestor, scanning the Super Sects. ”Let me tell you, this third challenge also involves great fortune, and it lies in drawing lots.”

”Undoubtedly, everyone knows the Top Ten Super Sects are the pinnacle forces on the Dragon Martial Continent. However, in drawing lots, it doesn’t matter if one’s a top force or not; it’s quite possible that during this contest for the top fifty, two Super Sects may end up facing each other. If that happens, inevitably one of the Super Sects will be eliminated.”

”This is very important for the relatively weaker forces among you; it’s your opportunity to change your fate.”

”Haha, that’s splendid!”

”Is that so? I’m just afraid that there might be some trickery in this drawing of lots.”

”How could such a mistake occur among the Top Ten Super Sects?”

”If what the Eastern Ancestor says is true, doesn’t it mean there’s even a greater chance for us to acquire High-Level Passes?”

Upon the Eastern Ancestor’s remark, immediately bursts of excited voices arose.
