Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7605

Chapter 7520: Facing Reality

Just as Li Tianming and the others crossed the light barrier of the ‘Upside-Down Tower’, a beam of light suddenly rose within the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

*Buzz*—In

an instant, the entire Myriad Sects Battle Hall was dazzlingly bright, drawing everyone’s attention.

This beam of light almost blotted out the sky!

Within it, tens of thousands of images of participants from the Myriad Sects Emperor War simultaneously appeared, flashing above everyone’s heads like tens of thousands of eyeballs, causing a tremor in their hearts.

“They’ve entered the battlefield!”

At this moment, the elders of various outer sects, or the outer sect disciples who had been unfortunately eliminated in the previous round and had come to cheer on their fellow disciples, all widened their eyes.

“I see Senior Sister!”

“I see Senior Brother!”

“Junior Brother!”

“Zhan’er!”

A few other disciples who had come with them, and most of the outer sect elders, suddenly found their sect’s perspective and exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, they also saw the names of the thousands of teams across the three age groups: ‘Star, Moon, and Sun’!

“Five Good Youths? What does this mean?” Li Dixiao stared intently, somewhat surprised.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!

* At this moment, the tens of thousands of images began to arrange and combine, flying across the sky below the Guanzizai Realm like a dazzling meteor shower, falling towards the platforms of various sects!

Li Xuanyin and the others watched as these images fell before them, eventually splitting into five images, each showing the figures of Li Tianming and his group.

This wasn’t a single image, but rather several!

At the same time, other sects that had already formed teams, such as the Hundao Ruins and the Wanxiang Battle Sect, also had images of Li Tianming and the other four available to view.

Furthermore, in the Wandi Palace of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, incredibly far away from the Beacon Ruins, a massive image also rose!

The moment Li Tianming’s face appeared, it instantly ignited the excitement of all the Heavenly Emperor Sect members who had come to watch the battle!

“It’s Li Zhanshen’s image! He’s entering the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War!”

“Are these his teammates? We can’t tell their strength, but as long as they can advance, they’re no worse than us!”

Everyone was thrilled, their eyes wide open, afraid to blink, lest they miss any exciting moments.

However, at this moment, some people noticed something amiss in the group of five.

“I can’t believe we can still gather five people! Someone actually teamed up with us!”

“I think I heard a rumor that ‘those’ sects also have disciples in urgent need this time… which means Li Zhanshen is fighting alongside people from those sects.”

“I see. But, hmm… that’s strange, why don’t we see the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan from the Illusionary Star Cave? Could it be that they failed to advance?”

However, the group didn’t dwell on it too much. After all, due to racial characteristics, disciples from other sects only had a relatively easier time advancing than those from the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and it couldn’t be guaranteed that someone would successfully advance every time in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.

Therefore, it’s normal for any sect to occasionally ‘fall behind,’ after all, the Heavenly Emperor Sect hadn’t even kept up with the group before Li Tianming.

In fact, the vast majority of Heavenly Emperor Sect members only watched from outside the Myriad Emperors Palace; only those of high status or considerable seniority were qualified to enter the Myriad Emperors Palace to watch the images.

…

At this moment, inside the Upside-Down Tower.

Li Tianming and the other four were in a relatively stable spatial passage that seemed to have been opened up. They could see the participants who had entered earlier.

With this passage, they didn’t have to come into contact with the collapsed space and the almost chaotic matter-like exterior of the Upside-Down Tower, thus avoiding being torn to pieces.

During this process, Ji Xuanjian, having already revealed his identity, completely opened up and shared the information he knew with Li Tianming and the others.

She walked ahead with her arms crossed, head slightly tilted back, showing the group the back of her short green hair. She slowly said, “This round of the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle, although the final score is about finding treasures and you don’t have to fight like in the last round, still carries considerable risks. Besides being eliminated due to insufficient final scores, if your Qianfeng Ring gets destroyed, you’ll also be eliminated early. So, you still need to be wary of your competitors.”

Xiangqin, upon hearing this, pondered slightly and asked, “Brother Ji, what happens to the treasures inside the Qianfeng Ring if I’m eliminated this way?”

“Are you stupid? If the Qianfeng Ring explodes, it’ll definitely be stolen.” Ji Xuanjian tilted his head slightly, giving Xiangqin’s smooth, white head a speechless glance, and continued, “Of course, not only that, but the moment the Qianfeng Ring shatters, it also triggers the Dao array within. This Dao array will instantly teleport the holder of the Qianfeng Ring back to the Star Ruins. That’s how you exit the competition.”

“Under this rule of using treasure hunting as a scoring system, the competitive nature seems to have decreased, but in reality, it just gives people more choices. The cruelty of the competition hasn’t lessened in the slightest.” Li Tianming fell into deep thought upon hearing this. He slowly said, “Perhaps some people will choose to ‘hunt’ others to increase their chances of passing the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle. This way, they can not only quickly collect treasures but also fundamentally eliminate their competitors.”

“That makes sense.” Ji Xuanjian looked at Li Tianming approvingly. “However, we don’t need to think too much about it in the early stages. After all, everyone doesn’t have many treasures, and others don’t need to go to great lengths to snatch those few. But if we really encounter any situation, we should protect each other and try to avoid being eliminated. You know, if anyone in the team is missing, it will seriously affect the performance of the others.”

“Sigh, our team’s strength is really just like what the eldest princess said, something we can just play around with. How can we possibly stand out among so many talented teams?” Huangfu Yu said with his hands behind his head, somewhat nonchalantly.

“Indeed, Brother Ji’s safety should be our priority.” Wan Yao echoed.

Although they had considered competing to see if they could advance further, the possibility of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire’s little princess getting into trouble while in the “Five Good Youths” team would be far from easily resolved.

“What did you say?” Ji Xuanjian was displeased. She turned around and glared at the two men. “Even if there’s no hope, you don’t have to be so pessimistic.”

“Well… we have to face reality, Brother Ji,” Huangfu Yu said, somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing this, Ji Xuanjian rolled up her sleeves, wanting to teach these two pessimistic teammates a lesson on the spot, but remembering Ji Ziling’s instructions, she could only accept it somewhat dejectedly.

At this moment, Li Tianming suddenly spoke up, smiling, “Actually, we should just let things take their course. Avoiding risks and competing for rankings aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, we shouldn’t fight battles we’re not confident in, or take unnecessary risks, right?”
