Fourth-tier Venerable!
Indeed, compared to that, a mere spatial ring here was nothing.
Although the peak of the third-tier Venerable was only a step away from the fourth-tier Venerable, it was a qualitative leap. The reason was simple.
The peak of the third-tier Venerable was the pinnacle of a junior Venerable, whereas a fourth-tier Venerable was different. Even a newly ascended fourth-tier Venerable was a mid-level Venerable.
A difference of a single word, yet a world of difference in power!
This was why Tong Wuya could sever Leng Wuji's arm with a flip of his hand. Leng Wuji himself knew clearly that even at the peak of the third-tier Venerable, he was no match for a fourth-tier Venerable, unless he was an unparalleled genius with monstrous combat power.
It was just, unfortunately, he wasn't.
Ye Xuan naturally did not refuse. After all, when Han Xin commanded troops, the more the better. This spatial ring was bound to contain plenty of thunder sources and Hell Demon Spider Pills.
"Very well."
Ye Xuan did not stand on ceremony and accepted Tong Wuya's gratitude with ease.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Leng Wuji, having lost an arm, looked ashen and bloodless. The two peak third-tier Venerable experts beside him were no different.
"Guest Elder Wuji, must we really leave?"
One of the peak third-tier Venerable experts turned his gaze towards the depths of the second trial. They were already standing by the portal of the first trial, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
"That's right, Guest Elder Wuji. Not only did Wei Yunze die by that brat's hand this time, but you also lost an arm. This is an irreconcilable hatred!"
The other peak third-tier Venerable expert was equally unwilling. Hearing their words, Leng Wuji felt even worse, his eyes revealing unconcealed malice and hatred.
Then, his eyes turned ferocious, "This matter will not end just like this!"
"I will notify King Nanyang of this. If Wei Qingtian learns of this, he will surely report it to King Dizang, and then perhaps even King Dizang will personally take action."
As he spoke, Leng Wuji's eyes grew even colder. "After all... King Dizang's ancestor was killed by the Sky-Shattering Thunder King. Someone must bear this grudge from a hundred thousand years ago."
"That brat, it's his fault for holding the Sky-Shattering Thunder Spear!!"
Hmm!?
Upon hearing Leng Wuji's words, the two peak third-tier Venerable experts exchanged glances, their eyes brightening. "Guest Elder Wuji, this move is brilliant!"
"Indeed, if King Dizang takes action, that Tong Wuya will also perish here!"
Are you kidding me?
Who was King Dizang? Even being ranked eighth in the Loulan Empire, he possessed the strength of a peak fifth-tier Venerable. That Tong Wuya was merely a fourth-tier Venerable, capable of killing him in a single move.
Of course, they did not know that as soon as Leng Wuji escaped, he had already reported Ye Xuan's matters to the Sky-Supporting Throne, one of the twelve kings of the Longyang Empire.
The twelve thrones of the Longyang Empire!
The Sky-Supporting Throne ranked tenth, but its strength was the same as the Loulan Empire's King Dizang. Clearly, in terms of strength, the Longyang Empire was slightly stronger than the Loulan Empire.
Evidently, their schemes were in motion, and a great battle between the kings of two major empires would soon be staged.
At that time, such events would surely shake the entire Glazed Planet. Of course, that was a story for another time!
"Alright, then we shall wait outside the Glazed Secret Realm!"
The two peak third-tier Venerable experts nodded in agreement. However, they were not going to wait immediately. After all, the thunder sources in the depths of the first trial were indeed a considerable fortune.
Of course, while Leng Wuji was plotting...
At the end of the second trial, the Shore Ghost Bridge, something happened that made everyone want to curse.
It wasn't anything else, but the condition to activate the portal to the third trial through the Shore Ghost Bridge had enraged everyone.
A string of golden characters floated in the air: "Only when the number of people in the second trial is less than one thousand can the portal to the third trial be activated!"
The sentence was short, but the information contained was so immense that everyone could barely breathe.
Holy crap!
What the hell!
Nani~!?
Seeing the golden characters not far from the portal to the third trial, everyone fell silent.
"Glazed Secret Realm, you bastard!"
"Scoundrel, how could this happen??"
"Damn it, I'll curse your ancestors~~"
A swarm of curses erupted from the crowd. If the Glazed Secret Realm could manifest itself at this moment, it would probably be torn to shreds and killed in an instant.
"Damn it~~"
Countless peak ninth-tier Great Emperors, and even first-tier Venerable experts, changed their expressions. Many second-tier Venerable experts were also under immense pressure.
Are you kidding me?
There were likely more than a thousand powerhouses above the peak of the second-tier Venerable here. With this new condition, wouldn't they be directly eliminated?
"Damn it, I'm not playing anymore~"
"You bastard, let's go!!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of people gave up and left. Damn it, after finally reaching the end, they were told this.
Shameless!
Simply the height of scoundrelism!!
Clearly, at this moment, countless people were cursing the ancestors of the Glazed Secret Realm. Were they playing with them? Damn it, can't I just not play?
The original number of over a hundred thousand Venerable realm powerhouses, plus everyone in the ninth-tier Great Emperor and Venerable realms, would have exceeded two hundred thousand. However, after the baptism of the Hell Demon Spider tide and the abandonment of many people, now...
There were probably less than thirty thousand people left on the scene!
"This... there's actually such a condition??"
Dongfang Qingkong watched this scene, feeling a strong urge to leave. Are you kidding me?
The people protecting him were all dead, and he was only at the peak of the fifth-tier Great Emperor. Where could he squeeze into the top thousand? It was estimated that to be in the top thousand, one would need at least the peak of the second-tier Venerable.
Mo Xuanyou saw Dongfang Qingkong struggling with his expression and grinned, "Kid, I'll give you a chance. Be my junior brother and become Master's disciple. I believe Senior Wuya will look after you to enter the third trial."
This sudden turn of events stunned Dongfang Qingkong, "Uh..."
"This!?"
Hearing Mo Xuanyou's words, Dongfang Qingkong's gaze fell on Ye Xuan. The scene just now flashed in his mind.
With his peak ninth-tier Great Emperor strength, killing a peak second-tier Venerable. With such monstrous combat power and talent, he was truly qualified to be his master. After all, the supreme combat power of the person before him was what he had always pursued.
"I am very grateful for this senior's life-saving grace. However... I, Dongfang Qingkong, am the Young Sect Master of the Guiyuan Sect. While you are qualified to be my master, you..."
Dongfang Qingkong glanced at Mo Xuanyou. This kid was only at the peak of the fourth-tier Great Emperor. Where did he get the confidence to make him call him senior brother?
Mo Xuanyou, "......."
Seeing this, he clearly knew he was being underestimated and couldn't help but say with a hint of teasing, "Master, how about this disciple making a bet with him?"
"If this disciple wins, you will take a junior brother for this disciple. If Master loses, then Guest Elder Wuya will bring this kid into the third trial."
Hearing Mo Xuanyou's words, Tong Wuya's lips curved upwards. "Hehe, you sure know how to play things, kid."
"However, this bet is quite interesting."
Tong Wuya naturally saw through Mo Xuanyou's little scheme. Dongfang Qingkong was royalty of the Galaxy Empire, and moreover, the Young Sect Master of a major sect, the Guiyuan Sect. If Ye Xuan took this young fellow as a disciple, he would undoubtedly gain the support of the Guiyuan Sect in the future.
"You kid, do as you please."
Tong Wuya could see that Ye Xuan also understood Mo Xuanyou's intentions. Everything was understood without words.
Although he didn't care much about it, it was also an opportunity to see the current strength of his third disciple.
Ye Xuan's thoughts were of no consequence. In a while, he would gain a new disciple, and this new disciple would be none other than Dongfang Qingkong, the Young Sect Master of the Galaxy Empire's Guiyuan Sect.
