Chapter 818: Proving the Name of the Primordial Star!
Once defeated by Venerate Ancient, he felt unwilling and angry, driving him to break through to the Supreme level.
But after becoming Supreme, he lost interest in challenging Venerate Ancient.
Because it would be beneath his dignity to bully the weak.
But unexpectedly, Venerate Ancient took the initiative to challenge him instead!
"I've been waiting for this." King Blood-Blade stood up, coldly responding.
Unlike Supreme Jiutian, he wasn't spineless.
To be challenged by a Venerate, and not even dare to accept the challenge, was not his style.
He couldn't afford to lose face.
"Let's do this." Venerate Ancient was straightforward, exuding a strong fighting spirit.
"Not so fast," King Blood-Blade said in a deep voice. "After you finish your decisive battle and return to your peak state, then we'll see who's superior."
"Agreed." Venerate Ancient glanced at King Blood-Blade before returning to his seat on the Primordial Star.
The duel between the two mighty warriors stirred up a commotion.
Especially King Blood-Blade's decisive response, which surpassed Supreme Jiutian's.
At this moment, his expression was even more grim than before.
Even the entire Jiutian Corp had been eliminated.
In the highest-level competition of the Human Sanctuary gathering of elites, Jiutian Corp was still lagging far behind.
Ascending to the status of a supreme faction was a long journey ahead.
"Venerate Ancient," Wang Ye remarked as he watched his lone and proud figure.
Like his mentor, he silently contributed to the Primordial Star in his way.
Whether it was doing everything possible to protect the Ancient Star Abyss or challenging the Supreme Jiutian first before taking on King Blood-Blade now...
Every action of Venerate Ancient was for the sake of the Primordial Star.
He defended the Primordial Star with practical actions.
He wouldn't let anyone who threatened the Primordial Star off the hook!
"He's a man of few words," Wang Ye praised Venerate Ancient.
His gaze shifted to the duel space.
The semifinals between the human virtual cosmic and the Cosmic Bank had begun.
On one side, led by Wei Yi, ranked first, were Zhao Ningxin, ranked fifth, and Zang Dawei, ranked ninth.
On the other side, led by Ba Wang, ranked third, whereas Shangguan Fengli, ranked eighth, and Qu Youyou, ranked tenth.
"Wei Yi is cautious." Wang Ye noted, observing the order of the matches.
The human virtual cosmic placed the 5th-ranked Zhao Ningxin at the forefront.
She switched positions with Zang Dawei.
But in the Cosmic Bank, nothing changed.
"Ba Wang is quite formidable," Wang Ye remarked, observing the young man wielding a war halberd. He executed an aura akin to that of an overlord.
To win against the human virtual cosmic, the Cosmic Bank couldn't rely on conventional tactics.
The best approach was to avoid Wei Yi.
Let Ba Wang confront Zhao Ningxin, while teammates dealt with Zang Dawei.
Despite knowing that Wei Yi would undoubtedly be the finale, the Overlord still chose to be the finale himself and challenge Wei Yi.
This exemplified the mindset of a true strong individual.
No fear, no hesitation, only moving forward courageously!
Better to lose with gusto than to timidly win!
The first battle ended in a crushing defeat.
Zhao Ningxin left a lasting impression on Wang Ye.
It wasn't just her fair complexion and beauty, but her agility and unconventional melee attacks.
Each strike came from unimaginable angles, displaying exceptional close-combat prowess.
Whether in offense or defense, in burst or endurance, her move was perfect.
It was astounding to see a woman exhibit such mastery in close combat.
Given the chance, he would engage in hand-to-hand combat with her.
Let's see who truly reigns as the king of close combat!
In the second battle, they met their match.
Ranked ninth, Zang Dawei faced off against the tenth-ranked Qu Youyou.
A battle where neither side could afford to lose.
The human virtual cosmic, having learned from Lan Xiaoxiao's lesson in the Infinite World of Slaughter, held nothing back.
In the previous battle, Lan Xiaoxiao faced off against Nalan Lan, playing too conservatively.
As a result, she lost to Nalan Lan, who left her with no way out, ultimately leading to the elimination of the Infinite World of Slaughter.
The lesson from past mistakes made the human virtual cosmic fight with full determination.
In the end, both sides suffered losses!
Zang Dawei emerged victorious against Qu Youyou!
However, the intense battle left him heavily injured and drained of energy.
"With Zang Dawei's current condition, Qiqi might stand a chance," Nalan Lan suggested, her eyes glinting.
"Yes, Fourth Senior Sister's strongest bloodline hadn't erupted yet," Wang Ye said. "Zang Dawei had revealed all his cards in the battle just now, but... the two of them had to face each other."
"I'm sorry," Nalan Lan apologized.
Like Zang Dawei, she had depleted her strength in the previous battle.
Facing Zang Dawei now would undoubtedly result in defeat.
"Relax, the pressure isn't on our side," Wang Ye reassured with a smile.
To reach the finals and fight until the last match meant he had achieved his goal.
Whether the team ultimately won didn't matter.
What mattered was being able to compete with Wei Yi!
Winning would allow him to the "Human Prodigy Record" and enter the Tinder Tower of the Human Sanctuary!
In the human virtual cosmic seats.
"You fool, don't you realize you should conserve your strength?" Zhao Ningxin scolded.
"Oh... I got carried away without noticing," Zang Dawei mumbled with a mouth full of oily meat, replenishing his energy.
"Come on!" Zhao Ningxin urged. "You have to trust Brother Wei Yi. He can beat anyone!"
"I don't want to lose, no matter who the opponent is," Zang Dawei mumbled between bites. "This is my battle, unrelated to Wei Yi."
"That's the spirit!" Wei Yi stood up, looking dashing in his white armor. "3:0! I like this score."
"Let's maintain this score until the end," he declared before stepping into the duel space confidently.
Step! Wei Yi entered the duel space.
His calm silhouette, and his handsome posture, all exuded confidence.
He was number one in the Human Prodigy Record!
The gathering of elites in the Human Sanctuary entered the final peak showdown.
All five levels had reached their decisive moments.
On the Primordial Star, three battles had reached their climax.
The battles were the strongest Venerate, with Venerate Ancient facing off against the human virtual cosmic's Venerate Buxu.
In the battle of the new Venerates, Venerate Bailuo fought against the human virtual cosmic Venerate Qing.
In the battle of potential disciples, Wang Ye, Qi Qiqi, and Nalan Lan fought against Wei Yi, Zhao Ningxin, and Zang Dawei.
"The human virtual cosmic was so strong this time!"
"Out of the five levels, four entered the showdown!"
"Three from the Primordial Star and two from the Infinite World of Slaughter. It's still a three-way fight."
"No hope for the Infinite World of Slaughter. This time, it's between the human virtual cosmic and the Primordial Star."
"The human virtual cosmic will likely defend their title. Their advantage is too significant."
The various factions were highly optimistic about the human virtual cosmic.
Because it was undeniably powerful and consistently performed well.
Every time the gathering of elites in the Holy Church occurred, it was either first or second.
The Primordial Star wasn't far behind. It consistently demonstrated strength in high-stakes matches, truly deserving of its Venerate status.
"Bai Luo's progress is impressive," the Sage Emperor remarked. "It's like seeing another Venerate Ancient."
"He's always pursued the pinnacle of the path of the sword, with Venerate Ancient as his goal," Venerate Xuan noted. "Through the human-devil battles, he's evolved continuously. Now, his strength rivals mine."
"You're being modest," Sage Emperor said with a smile. "Venerate Xuan, your strength surpasses all."
Venerate Xuan gently shook her head. "It's futile if I can't reach the highest level."
"Don't worry," Sage Emperor reassured. "Everything will improve. Fairy Qing Yao has divine favor."
Venerate Xuan nodded. "Thank you."
"It's the least I can do," Sage Emperor sighed. "But there are things beyond my control, including the affairs within the human virtual cosmic... There are also dissenting voices."
"I understand," Venerate Xuan replied.
"No matter what, I'll do my utmost to unite humanity and the Human Sanctuary," Sage Emperor said kindly.
Celestial Venerate Xuan nodded, understanding that ultimately, individuals had to rely on themselves.
The gathering of elites at the Human Sanctuary benefited her greatly.
The attitudes of other forces, the situation of the human cosmic, and the future path for the Primordial Star.
She already had a blueprint in her mind.
"Speaking of which, Wang Ye is quite extraordinary," the Sage Emperor suddenly said.
"Yes, he is outstanding," Venerate Xuan was not stingy with her praise for her junior brother, "He is a hundred times more exceptional than what we see now."
"Oh?" the Sage Emperor said, "The young man has many secrets."
"If Junior Brother had been born a million years earlier, the Primordial Star would have a leader now," Venerate Xuan said softly.
"A million years?" Sage Emperor chuckled. "Such high praise from Venerate Xuan reminds me of someone."
"Him?" Venerate Xuan asked.
Sage Emperor nodded. "Very similar. Exceeding all expectations in potential, unmatched strength among peers... Breaking through to become the strongest expert in the cosmic."
"If it weren't for the failure to tame the Chieftain Star, perhaps humanity would have already eradicated the demon and devil races!"
"The strongest expert, Wu Tian."
"In Wang Ye, I see his shadow."
...
The decisive battles continued!
The Ability Tower of Babel won the contest for the new High Dimension Lord!
The Infinite World of Slaughter claimed the championship for the strongest High Dimension Lord.
Next up was the battle for the new Venerates!
Venerate Bailuo versus the human virtual cosmic's Venerate Qing!
Wang Ye watched the intense clash.
Venerate qQing was formidable, having once defeated Senior Sister.
She was only one step away from comprehending the high-dimensional heavenly path.
In the path realm, she was far superior to Venerate Bailuo!
Moreover, she possessed a Heavenly Dao Saint treasure, which made her comprehensive abilities exceptionally outstanding.
It felt to him like facing Venerate Primeval.
Casually, the scene was already under control.
Although Venerate Bailuo's killing sword was very powerful, it once broke through Celestial Venerate Qing Tian's defense, unstoppable!
But in the end, he was still slightly inferior and was narrowly defeated by Celestial Venerate Qing Tian.
"The human virtual cosmic currently has one championship and one runner-up, just one more championship to win the title!"
"It's secure. There are still the battles for the strongest Venerate and the potential new disciples. Winning one of these two shouldn't be a problem."
"Right, let's see if we can secure the championship in advance."
...
The gathering of elites at the Human Sanctuary was nearing its end.
Currently, the victors of the three levels had already been decided.
The human virtual cosmic and the Infinite World of Slaughter each had one championship and one runner-up.
But the human virtual cosmic still had two finals left. At the very least, they would have two runners-ups, ensuring their ranking above the Infinite World of Slaughter.
However, if the Primordial Star won both remaining matches...
They would secure the championship with a record of two championships, one runner-up, and two semi-finalists!
"Venerate Ancient will win the battle of the strongest Venerate," Wang Ye said, standing up and looking at Qi Qiqi and Nalan Lan.
"It's up to us."
"Let's go defeat the human virtual cosmic!"
"Proving the name of the Primordial Star!"
