The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2175: Chapter 2175: Rapid Pursuit

The cooperation secretly achieved between Jing Yan and Clan Chief Xin Si was known only to the two of them; even the other members of the Xin Family were unaware. Those outside had even less chance of realizing that Jing Yan might represent the Xin Family in battle.

Now, seeing that Jing Yan had not come near the secret realm, these people still believed that Jing Yan had not been employed by any of the Four Great Forces. Even the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch thought so.

“But that guy has already earned enough in the first two rounds. Over one hundred and fifty billion Black Crystal Stones as an employment fee for two rounds, even if he gives half to the Immortal Venerable, he can still get seventy to eighty billion.” Someone said with envy.

Inspector Ao Hong of the Mystic Moon Trading House, along with other personnel, did not see Jing Yan and did not give it much thought.

The sequence of battle in the third round was the same as in the previous two rounds, with the Mystic Moon Trading House taking the lead. Representing the Mystic Moon Trading House was an internal member of the Mystic Moon Trading House, with strength at Jiao Zuoyan’s level. The other person was a hired, a tier lower than Jiao Zuoyan’s level.

More than three hours later, the third round of the Mystic Moon Trading House’s battle for Netherworld Points ended. In this round, the Mystic Moon Trading House gained three hundred and forty points, adding to the previous two rounds’ eight hundred and seventy-six points, totaling one thousand two hundred and sixteen points.

The second to fight was still the Shadow Tower.

Representing the Shadow Tower were Jiao Zuoyan and Tao Bi. Jiao Zuoyan and Tao Bi refused to be hired by the Mystic Moon Trading House and chose to be employed by the Shadow Tower. The Shadow Tower spent forty billion Black Crystal Stones to hire these two. Originally, the Shadow Tower did not plan to hire both Jiao Zuoyan and Tao Bi but only one of them. However, Jing Yan passed word through Shan Duogun, so Gong Zhi Buddha temporarily changed his mind, spending eighty billion Black Crystal Stones to employ both.

Gong Zhi Buddha was not sure what Jing Yan meant, but there was no harm in being cautious. Spending tens of billions more Black Crystal Stones was a minor issue for the Shadow Tower, but losing the floating quota in the Yellow Spring Cave would be a huge loss. Besides, Gong Zhi Buddha always felt that Jing Yan was plotting something; otherwise, he would not have mentioned it to Shan Duogun for no reason.

Jiao Zuoyan and Tao Bi were indeed fierce in strength. In less than four hours, their illusion bodies in the secret realm were almost simultaneously killed, but they harvested three hundred and sixty-five points for the Shadow Tower.

With that, the Shadow Tower’s points were twenty-six more than the Mystic Moon Trading House, temporarily ranking third in total Netherworld Points.

“Buddha, we have one hundred percent secured one of the three slots in the third round for the Shadow Tower.” Shan Duogun said to Gong Zhi Buddha.

“Hmm.” Gong Zhi nodded.

Now that their points were above the Mystic Moon Trading House, regardless of what unexpected events occurred next, the Shadow Tower’s points would not end up last. The Shadow Tower had certainly secured one of the three slots for the third round.

The people from the Mystic Moon Trading House did not care much; in the third round, the highest points were not necessary, as long as they did not end up last. Surpassing their total points didn’t affect the Mystic Moon Trading House too much.

Then, the third to take the field was the Ancient Land of Morning Light.

“Have you all remembered what I instructed you?” War God Li Feng said to the two cultivators about to enter the battle.

“Lord War God, we remember. Rest assured; we won’t burn too much of our bloodline.” The two nodded simultaneously, speaking in a low voice.

“Hmm, go then!” War God Li Feng nodded.

With these two cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light, if they burned their bloodlines for strength, their combat power could be temporarily elevated to the level of the Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarch. Of course, burning the bloodline was inherently not a conventional power; they wouldn’t last for long. For the last floating quota, the Ancient Land of Morning Light had no other option, as the point gap with the previous three major forces was too large.

The two cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light sat cross-legged in front of Yuantong Immortal Venerable, their illusion bodies entering the secret realm.

When their combined points exceeded three hundred, the rapid increase in points did not slow down. Soon, the points reached three hundred sixty and continued to increase.

Many people frowned at this moment.

“What’s going on?”

“Those two cultivators from the Ancient Land of Morning Light aren’t that strong, right? Their strength is weaker than Jiao Zuoyan and Tao Bi, weaker than Xin Qianyue’s level, yet they’ve gained so many Netherworld Points?”

“Hmm? Three seventy!”

“Three eighty!”

“Something’s not right! This is definitely abnormal!”

“Could it be…they burned their bloodlines?”

Many were moved! They were not unfamiliar with the Ancient Land of Morning Light’s Body Refining Practitioners burning their bloodlines, but indeed, most people did not expect the Ancient Land of Morning Light’s Body Refining Practitioners would do so. Burning bloodlines was almost tantamount to sacrificing one’s path. To know that the cultivators participating in the battle for Netherworld Points are in the top tier of the Nether Sky Realm. If they enter the Immortal Realm, they become Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarchs. Such exceptionally talented cultivators burning their bloodlines would be too great a loss.

Most people were shocked, but from the points of those who entered the secret realm, it was confirmed that they had indeed burned their bloodlines. Otherwise, it would be impossible for their points to surge like this. Their points quickly exceeded four hundred.

At the end of the first two rounds, the points for the Ancient Land of Morning Light were just a bit over six hundred.

“Four fifty!”

“Four eighty! Four ninety!”

“Tsk tsk, already five hundred!”

“The Body Refining Practitioners from the Ancient Land of Morning Light are terrifying once they burn their bloodlines! This strength doesn’t just increase several folds!”

“Five hundred twelve points, they have already eliminated the ninth wave of Ghost Pattern Beasts!”

“Terrifying… However, these two have also ruined their path. In the future, they are destined to never enter the Immortal Realm; it would be good enough if they can maintain their realm without falling.”

All gazes focused on the Law Light Screen, observing the rapidly increasing points of the two from the Ancient Land of Morning Light.

The two inside the secret realm, now completely flushed, their eyes ablaze. On the surface of their bodies, waves of invisible power spread. At this moment, they were indeed burning their own bloodlines. The two worked closely together, quickly slaying the Ghost Pattern Beasts with strength comparable to that of a Shen Zhou Heavenly Monarch.

They had to finish the battle as soon as possible; the longer they delayed, the more of their bloodline they burned, potentially leading to death. By this time, their bodies outside had also shown obvious changes. A faint red halo rotated on the surface of their sitting bodies.

The tenth wave of Ghost Pattern Beasts appeared.

“Kill!” The two roared in unison, charging forward one after the other, furiously attacking the Ghost Pattern Beasts.

Five hundred thirty! Five hundred sixty! Six hundred. The points they earned had surpassed the six hundred mark!
