Chapter 928: Chapter 931: Three-eyed Divine Eagle_1 Chapter 928: Chapter 931: Three-eyed Divine Eagle_1 When a particular species proposes a Hall of Fame challenge, it often carries provocative implications.

The affairs at the Eye of the Storm had just ended when a post appeared in the Dimensional Universe.

The content of the post was written entirely in gold ink and it was automatically pinned to the top once it was posted.

The pseudonym of the poster was Dong Xuehan, a famous name throughout the Endless Battlefield.

A billion years ago, Dong Xuehan, a martial artist of the demon clan of the Endless Species, rose to prominence, defeating the former number one, Tiannie, and becoming the top-ranked member of the Hall of Fame in the Endless Species.

In the subsequent Skyfire War, Dong Xuehan exhibited his divine might, forcing the Ground Clan to retreat repeatedly and becoming the number one in the Hall of Fame among both grand species.

In the challenge league that took place fifty million years ago, Dong Xuehan successfully defended his throne as the top-ranked member in the Hall of Fame for both species.

…

In the second Skyfire War, Dong Xuehan solidified his unassailable status by slaying three of the Ground Clan’s top ten members of the Hall of Fame.

Qiong Jing, the current number one from the Ground Clan, rose to prominence thirty million years ago and challenged his way to the top.

Although his talent is brilliant, in the eyes of the public, he will never truly be the number one unless he defeats Dong Xuehan.

The Hall of Fame challenge is usually initiated by the winning species from the previous competition.

The Endless Species have won consecutive victories, and Dong Xuehan, as the top-ranked Hall of Fame martial artist of the Endless Species, is eligible to initiate the next challenge.

“I am Dong Xuehan, in view of the presumptuous performance of the Ground Clan’s martial artists recently, I have decided to initiate a new round of the Hall of Fame challenge to prove who the true strong ones are.

The challenge will be held in the Dimensional Universe a year from now.

The rules have been posted, and you can check them at your convenience.

All members of both Hall of Fames must participate.

Any who do not will be stripped of their Hall of Fame title!”

This is the tradition of the Hall of Fame challenge, no matter how big a name the martial artist has, they must participate in the challenge unless they chose to withdraw.

In fact, this challenge is the prelude to the Skyfire War.

After fifty million years, both sides have mostly recovered, and after fifty million years of cultivation, the real geniuses have had enough time to advance to the Divine Stone period or become a demigod.

Even without the incident of Lin Zhen killing Su Lante, it’s about time for a new round of war to start.

The incident with Lin Zhen just happened to coincide with it.

After Dong Xuehan issued his challenge, it immediately caused a huge stir in the Dimensional Universe.

The Ground Clan, after suffering two consecutive defeats, had been feeling somewhat stifled.

Now, with Dong Xuehan brazenly initiating the third challenge, the Ground Clan’s Hall of Fame would lose face if they failed to respond resolutely.

Qiong Jing, who hasn’t posted in the Dimensional Universe for three thousand years, retaliated immediately.

“Dong Xuehan, you should be thankful that you did not encounter me in your two prior wars.

Otherwise, you would never have had the chance to be the top-ranked martial artist.

For this battle, I am waiting for you, let’s see who is truly number one in the Hall of Fame of our two grand species!”

With Qiong Jing’s retaliation, Ye Xingcai, He Ying, An Luoqi, Augustine, and other Ground Clan’s strong Hall of Fame martial artists have also expressed their determination to fight.

Meanwhile, many martial artists in the top ten of the Endless Species have also expressed their eagerness to fight in the Dimensional Universe.

For instance, Tiannie, the second-ranked martial artist in the Endless Species.

Though he had lost to Dong Xuehan, he looked down upon the martial artists from the Ground Clan.

He was condescending in his words.

The competition rules have also been announced.

To ensure that all Hall of Fame martial artists are truly strong, the challenge won’t only involve just these two hundred participants.

Within both grand species, there are also some martial artists whose ability is on par with those in the Hall of Fame.

They simply lacked the opportunity to enter it.

During the challenge, in addition to these two hundred participants, an extra twenty will also partake in the challenge.

Each grand species will have ten representatives.

These twenty people, though not members of the Hall of Fame, have proven their formidable strength through countless battles.

The ten from the Endless Species will challenge the ninety-first to the hundredth ranked individuals from the Ground Clan.

If they succeed in the challenge, then the challengers of the Ground Clan Hall of Fame will be eliminated, stripped of their Hall of Fame titles, and their positions will be contested by other martial artists of the Ground Clan.

If the challenge fails, then those ranked ninetieth to hundredth in the Ground Clan will have successfully defended their positions.

Then they can challenge those ranked eightieth to the ninetieth in the Endless Species.

Success in a challenge means immediate promotion in the rankings, superseding the person who ranked above them.

For example, if Lin Zhen, who ranked ninety-eighth, successfully challenges the opponent ranked eighty-eighth, he will then take the position of the eighty-eighth from the Ground Clan.

The original eighty-eighth can advance to the seventy-eighth position if his challenge is successful, otherwise, they will drop to the ninety-eighth position.

After being promoted to the seventy-eighth position, Lin Zhen can then challenge the sixty-eighth member of the Endless Species.

This type of challenging system tends to disadvantage those with lower rankings, as they first have to face the challenge of those from the Quasi-Hall of Fame, every time there is a challenge, there are quite a few dark horses from the Quasi-Hall of Fame.

Even after overcoming this hurdle, they still have to face the challenge from higher-ranking martial artists of the opponent, while higher-ranking members are free to await challengers in a comfortable position, concentrating their energy and staying sharp.

This is also a form of privilege for higher-ranking martial artists.

After all, ranking isn’t just for display; it’s already a rare opportunity to allow lower-ranked people to challenge.

When it comes down to the last, after the top ten martial artists from both sides have accepted challenges, the remaining twenty participants will compete for the top ten mini-rankings, determining the true king among kings!

The competition rules haven’t changed much so everyone is quite familiar with them.

Since the challenge match was about to begin, the duel list was of great concern to the Martial Artists.

In order to let everyone clearly understand the battle situation, both the Ground Clan and Endless Species listed out all the rankings from the Hall of Fame.

There are hundred from the Ground Clan, hundred from the Endless Species, and each also had ten Martial Artists of Quasi-Hall of Fame level, who are the initial challengers.

These ten were not selected randomly, their names had been nominated a long time ago, and were confirmed at the last moment.

Each of their strengths was exceptionally formidable.

Take the Ruthless King for example, his strength was almost at the Hall of Fame’s level, holding his own against the Hall of Fame’s Blood Shadow.

Even if the Ruthless King was alive, he would be slightly inferior compared to the ten current Quasi-Hall of Fame Martial Artists.

Some of them even had the experience of defeating a Hall of Fame Martial Artist.

So, no one dared to underestimate these twenty participants, their names all stirred up hot discussions, and their records would be thoroughly dug out by people for meticulous analysis.

The Dimensional Universe company would even broadcast the entire challenge live.

The event of the Storm Eye was immediately overshadowed by this news, and all people’s attention was turned to this significant event.

********

On a planet of the Endless Species, a man with a gloomy face was looking at the challenge list.

This man had a third eye in the center of his forehead, he was a member of the Divine Eagle Clan.

The Three-eyed Eagle, a mutant of the Divine Eagle Clan, was extremely powerful.

His gaze fell on the Martial Artist who ranked ninety-eight in the Ground Clan’s list, Lin Zhen!

He gently rubbed his palms together, a faint glint of cold light emanating from his eagle eyes.

Beep Beep Beep~~~!!

The Dimensional Universe sounded, the Three-eyed Eagle opened it and immediately answered, “Lord Tiannie!”

On the other end was a Martial Artist in a black robe, his entire figure cloaked, his face couldn’t be seen clearly.

“Three-eyed, I placed you in the eighth position in this challenge.

Are there any feelings of dissatisfaction in your heart?”

The Three-eyed Eagle lowered his head and said, “Lord Tiannie, I dare not.

I am very grateful for my lord’s arrangement.”

“No need to say such things to me.

I know you’re somewhat unconvinced in your heart.

Your strength could have placed you in first place among these challengers, but I forced you to rank eighth.

This is somewhat unfair to you, but I hope you understand my intentions.”

“I understand, my lord arranged for me to be in the eighth position to target Lin Zhen.”

“It’s good that you understand.

The eruption of this challenge, in addition to our original intention, also stems from Lin Zhen killing Su Lante.

Su Lante ranked fiftieth in our Endless Species, but he was killed by Lin Zhen.

This has made the people of the Ground Clan extremely arrogant, and our clan appears somewhat passive.”

“Moreover, this Lin Zhen is very strong.

Aiming to take him down, ordinary people can’t do it, if he passes the first round, he might even be able to kill his way to the top fifty.

This is something we do not want to see, hence we arranged for you to fight him in the first round.”

The Three-eyed Eagle nodded, “I completely understand, my mission this time is to eliminate Lin Zhen in the first round.”

“Right, once Lin Zhen is eliminated, with your strength, you can definitely become a dark horse, overcoming all obstacles and even potentially reaching the top thirty.

I have great expectations for you.”

Hearing the mention of reaching the top thirty, the light in the Three-eyed Eagle’s eyes flashed, obviously he was moved by the idea.

“Put in your best effort Three-eyed, in this challenge, our Endless Species must achieve a tri-championship, to greatly shake the confidence of the Ground Clan.

As long as the morale of our clan is boosted, we will definitely win during the Skyfire War.”

Tiannie grinned, “The Skyfire War, I truly look forward to it.

Wiping out all the Hall of Famers of the Ground Clan, the time for our clan to return to the surface is fast approaching!”

“Return to the surface?” the Three-eyed Eagle was surprised.

“Yes, this time the Emperor Deciding Heaven has made up his mind, if we win the Skyfire War, we will completely occupy the mine area, and then advance towards the surface!”

Crazed fervor appeared in the eyes of the Three-eyed Eagle, it seems that this battle was different from the previous ones, it was now not only about the issue of resource distribution in the mining area.

The Endless Species yearned for the surface too much.

Even though they lost to the Ground Clan previously and were forced to retreat into the Endless Star Sea, they had won the Skyfire War twice, boosting their ambition.
