Chapter 3495: Another Four Participants With Strength Comparable To a Five Star God of War

Everyone watched as Liu Kong Yi took the initiative to attack. As most people had guessed, his strength was stronger than what he had displayed before. Faced with an opponent like Ling Jue Yun, he had to reveal the strength of a top Four Star God of War.

“As expected, Liu Kong Yi was hiding his strength!”

“To think he’s as strong as a top Four Star God of War! If Ling Jue Yun isn’t hiding his strength, then he won’t be a match for Liu Kong Yi at all. However, I’m quite certain Ling Jue Yun is hiding his strength as well!”

While the others were fervently discussing the matter, Ling Jue Yun and Liu Kong Yi’s battle was already in full swing. Both of them seemed to be evenly matched. Ling Jue Yun also displayed the strength of a top Four Star God of War.

“The geniuses cultivated by the Title Temple are really outstanding…” Ling Jue Yun said indifferently, in a rare instance. Although his voice was not loud, the people in his surroundings clearly heard his words.

After exchanging roughly thirty moves, Ling Jue Yun said tonelessly, “Alright, let’s end this.”

Following that, death aura suddenly surged out of Ling Jue Yun’s body. His doppelganger returned to his body and shrouded him before it began to shine with a dark light. In just a moment, the now translucent doppelganger, which was shrouding him, suddenly grew to the size of a giant. It held a giant scythe in its hand that radiated a bone-chilling energy.

“The Grim Reaper’s Scythe!”

Many onlookers could sense that the Grim Reaper’s Scythe Profundity had been fused with some other profundity from the law of death as well.

“I knew it! Ling Jue Yun was hiding his strength as well!”

Although the onlookers had guessed this, it was different witnessing it. Many of their eyes lit up as their hearts raced, waiting for what was to come next in the battle.

At this moment…

Swoosh!

As the Grim Reaper’s Scythe moved, the void rippled in its wake as though they were going to tear.

Liu Kong Yu flashed, trying to dodge the scythe. However, the scythe seemed to have eyes. No matter what movement technique or tricks he used, he could not seem to shake it off. In the end, he roared in frustration, gathering all his strength to launch a fierce attack to destroy the incoming scythe.

Boom!

Alas, the scythe was like a peerless destructive as it easily dispelled Liu Kong Yu’s attack as soon as the two attacks collided. The scythe’s momentum only slowed down a little from the collision.

At this moment, Xu Kong Hai’s voice rang in Liu Kong Yu’s ears.

“Surrender; you’re not his opponent. You’ve already accomplished your mission. We only arranged for you to fight with him to probe his strength…”

When the scythe was a hair’s breadth away from killing Liu Kong Yu, he suddenly vanished from the battle ring.

The onlookers were finally able to breathe again upon seeing this. After all, if Liu Kong Yu was a moment slower, he would have died without a doubt.

The scythe continued to fly out and landed on the barrier after Liu Kong Yu disappeared. In just a blink of an eye, it destroyed the barrier and continued flying toward Liu Kong Yu who had reappeared outside of the barrier.

In fact, Ling Jue Yun was not intentionally targeting Liu Kong Yu. He could control the attack once he had launched it, after all.

Before the scythe could hit him, Liu Kong Yi vanished at top speed.

Subsequently, Xu Kong Hai scoffed before a large almost translucent hand appeared and destroyed Ling Jue Yun’s Grim Reaper’s Scythe.

Ling Jue Yun’s robe fluttered softly in the air as he stood in the battle ring. At this moment, he was the focus of everyone’s attention. After all, his performance this time had revealed he possessed the strength of a Five Star God of War at least.

Needless to say, the crowd was in an uproar again.

“How many participants have revealed the strength of a Five Star God of War so far?”

“There are Zhong Gui Yu, Tang San Pao, Duan Ling Tian, Zhou Yong Qi, and Ling Jue Yun… There are likely others who are still hiding their strength as well…”

“Does that mean there are ten or more participants with the strength of a Five Star God of War at least?”

“Seems like it…”

Although it was not unprecedented, it was rare for more than ten participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War to appear at the same time during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. Usually, there would only be less than five participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War. Currently, the second bout of the fifth round of the Devata Realm’s Battle of the Geniuses was not even over, but there were already five participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War at least.

“It’s like this time’s Battle of the Geniuses is going to be one of the rare times where there are more than ten participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War.”

Many people’s eyes gleamed with expectations, and this included the Heavenly Emperors of the various Devata Realms and the high-ranking officials from the Title Temple branches.

…

When Ling Jue Yun returned to his seat, Tang San Pao said, “Ling Jue Yun, I knew you’re as strong as a Five Star God of War at least!”

Since Tang San Pao had long suspected this, he was not surprised at all.

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian and Su Li were not surprised either.

On the contrary, Zhang Tian You and the others were shocked. Although they knew he was not simple, they did not expect him to possess the strength of a Five Star God of War. This meant that in their group, there were three people with the strength of a Five Star God of War! One had to remember there were only five participants so far who had been revealed to have such strength.

Soon after, the other four matches ended. No one revealed the strength of a Five Star God of War in the four matches; only two participants who had shown the strength of an ordinary Four Star God of War revealed the strength of a top Four Star God of War.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian was selected to fight in the next five matches. His opponent had revealed the strength of a Three Star God of War so far. No one was surprised since the Title Temple would not arrange difficult matches for those with the strength of a Five Star God of War for the fifth round. In any case, it was just a formality; no one would care if those with the strength of a Five Star God of War did not fight in the fifth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

At this moment…

“I surrender…”

Duan Ling Tian’s opponent only had the strength of a Three Star God of War. Let alone someone like Duan Ling Tian who possessed the strength of a Five Star God of War, he would find it difficult fighting someone with the strength of a Four Star God of War. After weighing his options, he decided to surrender.

When Tang San Pao was finally selected to fight, the circumstances were similar to Duan Ling Tian’s. His opponent, who also only possessed the strength of a Three Star God of War, surrendered.

Many people thought that it was the benefit of being exceptionally strong. However, none of them thought anything was wrong with the others surrendering.

After a while, Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of Gongsun Xuanyuan; the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, was finally selected to fight. His opponent was a young genius from the Title Temple with strength comparable to an average Four Star God of War.

Duan Ling Tian could tell the young genius was hiding his strength as well. Sure enough, he revealed the strength of a top Four Star God of War during his battle with Yu Dong Fang. Nevertheless, that was naturally not enough to defeat Yu Dong Fang. Without any suspense, Yu Dong Fang won his match as well.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, unsurprised, ‘No wonder Yu Dong Fang dares to openly provoke me… As expected, he’s as strong as a Five Star God of War at least…”

During this match, Yu Dong Fang was also forced to reveal that he was as strong as a Five Star God of War at least.

With this reveal, the crowd broke into an uproar again.

…

After Yu Dong Fang’s match, another two participants were also revealed to be as strong as a Five Star God of War at least. Although the crowd was still shocked, their reaction was no longer as though as the previous reveals. It seemed like they had grown numb to it.

“There are eight participants now with strength comparable to Five Star Gods of War,” Zhang Tian You said after he sighed emotionally, “If Su Li is right, Hong Yuan, who defeated him, should be as strong as a Five Star God of War as well…”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s attention was focused on two of the participants: Hong Yuan and Sima Rui. Hong Yuan had defeated Su Li before while Sima Rui had just revealed his strength earlier. These two were also people he had speculated to be the Title Temple’s ace.
