"Since you’re here, how could you possibly abandon the competition?"
Zhuchenxin said darkly, his deep-set old eyes bursting with sinister coldness that sent shivers down the spine.
If they simply abandoned it now, wouldn’t the Demon Clan become a laughingstock?
Zhumutian and the others got brutally beaten and heavily injured, and the Soul-Pillar Pagoda hasn’t issued any punishment yet, which is already enough to disgrace them.
If they abandon again, how can they face anyone?
"Second Elder, do you have a way?" Zhumutian asked anxiously, determined not to miss the chance.
Zhuchenxin took out several elixirs and said, "This is enough to let you attend the conference, but it can only last for an hour. It also has severe consequences; you need to think it through."
"Saint Emperor Realm Unabsolving Extinction Elixir!" Zhumutian’s face and the others changed dramatically.
Zhuchenxin frowned and said, "Although the effect of this elixir is strong, the consequence will cause your alchemist realm to regress, and your soul body will be damaged."
Recalling the previous brutal beating and apology, the blazing fury surged through his mind, Zhumutian gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it can make them pay the price, I fear no consequences! I want them to be discredited!"
"Yes! I can’t swallow this anger!" Another person said angrily.
"Good!" Zhuchenxin nodded satisfactorily and said, "Feel free to go ahead; for the consequences, this elder will help you resolve them!"
"Thank you, Second Elder!" Zhumutian and the four showed their respectful gratitude.
...
An hour quickly passed.
The Alchemist Conference began.
The grand plaza was filled with people from various forces who came to participate in the conference, a sea of people.
Except for those alchemists who disdain fame and fortune, the talented alchemists from the major forces of the Holy Realm were basically all gathered here.
"There are indeed many talented alchemists in the Holy Realm, most are in the Saint Monarch Realm, only a few dozen in the Saint Emperor Realm, and very few in the Saint King Realm." Feng Wuchen marveled.
"Supreme Lord, there are many alchemists in the Holy Realm, so naturally many are talented, good thing our strength isn’t weak; those Saint King Realm alchemists are here to broaden their horizons, but so many talented alchemists in the Saint Emperor Realm, it’s hard for a Saint Monarch Realm to have much chance, although there will be individual soul powers that are very strong." Limoyang said in a low voice.
Feng Wuchen shrugged and said, "Good thing I’m not participating, so many people, how much time it would waste."
"Do Zhumutian and the others plan to join the conference?" Glancing at several members of the Demon Clan, Zhao Wuya asked softly.
Gefeng sneered mockingly and said, "If they don’t participate, wouldn’t they be letting others laugh at the Demon Clan? But even if they do, it won’t matter, they have no chance."
"Don’t let your guard down, careful they play dirty tricks, their soul power is above yours." Feng Wuchen warned.
"Supreme Lord, can they possibly mobilize soul power?" Limoyang felt Feng Wuchen was being overly cautious.
"That’s not for certain, don’t underestimate them, or it’ll be your loss, understood?" Feng Wuchen said in a low voice.
"Understood!" Limoyang and the three respectfully replied.
At the same time, Zhumutian and several others were glaring fiercely at Limoyang and them.
"You just wait for me." Zhumutian thought fiercely, already impatient to see Limoyang and them discredited.
"If the chance arises, I’ll ruin them!" Another said angrily in a low voice, eyes glowing with viciousness.
In the arena, as long as no one loses their life, who could complain?
On the plaza, Wuxianzi appeared with a flash.
The scene instantly fell quiet, everyone’s eyes focused on Wuxianzi.
Wuxianzi smiled calmly and said, "No need to talk about the rules, everyone knows them, the Alchemist Conference begins!"
The vast plaza divided into four major areas: Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Inscription, Forging.
Alchemists in all four domains simultaneously started the first round of elimination matches.
Those failing to meet the standards were directly eliminated.
Elimination has two rounds; both must be passed to qualify for the promotion matches.
Promotion matches are the real showdown between alchemists, lose and you’re eliminated.
After elimination matches come promotion matches, then to finals.
To ensure fairness, elimination matches happen simultaneously; as long as the requirements of each realm of the Soul-Pillar Pagoda are met, one can advance.
Promotion matches prioritize Saint Emperor Realm alchemists, followed by Saint Monarch Realm, and lastly are Saint King Realm.
Finally, the alchemists from each realm entering the finals vie for the top three spots.
After elimination matches, a large group has already been eliminated.
The alchemists entering promotion matches include twenty-eight from the Saint King Realm, twenty-two from the Saint Monarch Realm, and sixteen from the Saint Emperor Realm.
The Saint Emperor Realm alchemists were mostly directly eliminated.
Elimination matches were very ruthless, and many alchemists were deeply disappointed.
Saint Emperor Realm’s promotion matches include Limoyang and the three, the Demon Clan’s four, Martial Soul Holy Palace’s three, the Soul-Pillar Pagoda’s three amongst the sixteen top talents.
"The promoted Saint Emperor Realm alchemists are indeed formidable, your chances are slim, especially Xue Qingye, he’s a Third Layer alchemist, his soul power is the strongest, luckily he chose artifact refining." Feng Wuchen shook his head.
Zhao Wuya indifferent with a spread hand said, "The first is undoubtedly Xue Qingye from the Soul-Pillar Pagoda, last year he didn’t participate, otherwise he’d be first and not Xiayuqing, others didn’t stand a chance."
"Didn’t expect Zhumutian and them to actually take the elixir! It’ll be troubling when we face them, I hope to face Xiayuqing instead." Limoyang said solemnly.
Zhumutian and the four restored their peak state, beyond their expectation.
"If it were me, I’d surely ruin you, the Demon Clan are indeed ruthless." Feng Wuchen smiled faintly.
"..." Limoyang and the three broke into cold sweat.
On the plaza, the Grand Elder Nangong Xuan appeared with a flash.
The scene quieted down once again.
"Promoted Saint Emperor Realm alchemists include Xue Qingye, Lin Haitian, Limoyang, Zhao Wuya, Zhumutian... Gefeng, sixteen in total."
"Next is the real contest, promoted alchemists, come up and draw lots."
As Nangong Xuan’s words fell, sixteen Saint Emperor Realm alchemists flashed onto the plaza.
"Limoyang, you’d better hope you don’t run into me, or you’ll realize the consequences!" Zhumutian fiercely glared at Limoyang, viciously saying, clutching number two.
Limoyang shrugged and smiled, "Just wonder if you’ll last until then."
With that, Limoyang drew a bamboo stick, looked at the name on it, and grinned, "Sorry, didn’t draw you, it’s number three."
"Someone will face you anyway!" Zhumutian said coldly.
Limoyang chuckled, "Talk after promotion."
Once the drawing ended, Nangong Xuan continued, "Let the contest begin."
The four-layer domains proceed simultaneously, sixteen scattered into various areas.
Six Alchemists, four Forging Masters, four Artifact Refiners, two Inscription Masters.
Sixteen entered the ring at once, simultaneously began the contest.
But when everyone saw the positioning of the sixteen Saint Emperor Realm alchemists, they were stunned.
