Chapter 447

The group of 100 monks thought they could compete with their opponents with their numerical advantage, but they never expected that they would be so easily wiped out by the elite team.

Of course, the elite team also paid a heavy price.

The Hanyue Palace suffered heavy losses again in this round of fierce fighting, and another monk was unfortunately eliminated, and now only seven people are left.

The Kunpeng Demon Land, which was the first to bear the brunt, suffered heavy losses. This round actually lost five powerful demon cultivators!

The originally powerful Star Clan now has only six people left, and the Barbarian Clan has seven survivors.

However, in this round of fierce fighting, only the North Sea Holy Land led by Cao Rui became the lucky one.

The ten monks of the Holy Land plus Xuanxu, under the care of Cao Rui, a total of eleven people were not injured or killed, and all were safe and sound.

At this moment, the number of people above the barrier clearly showed the number 105.

After this round of brutal purge, the final candidates for the war cultivator quota finally began to gradually surface.

The five elite teams understood each other tacitly, sitting cross-legged on the spot, racing against time to recover their exhausted mana.

After a count, everyone found that there were only thirty-six people left in the five elite teams.

Thirty-six people, which was very close to thirty people.

So without anyone coming forward to explain, these thirty-six people had clearly realized the current situation - it was imperative to reach a preliminary cooperation.

Among these many people, it was obviously much easier to select thirty people from thirty-six people than from one hundred and five people.

Cao Rui looked around and saw that there were ten teams around, with a total of sixty-nine monks.

They had an advantage in numbers.

However, even if all of them gathered together at this moment, it would be difficult for them to pose a substantial threat to the five powerful elite teams that had reached a tacit understanding.

At this moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the venue: "Netherworld Ghost Den, the Battle Cultivation Festival has officially begun!"

Followed by another loud shout: "The barrier circle is about to begin to shrink gradually!"

Then another notice sounded: "The cultivators of the Netherworld Ghost Den, please quickly withdraw from the barrier circle. The cultivators participating in this event can eliminate the target by killing the opponent."

Just at this time, the sky just turned pale, and this highly anticipated Battle Cultivation Festival was finally officially launched.

Cao Rui thought to himself: "Since it is now allowed to kill the target directly, things will become easier."

Before eliminating the contestants, they had to estimate the opponent's life, so many killing moves had to be restrained.

Now that they can let go and use their full strength, the combat power of the elite team will be released more.

Not long after, the 36 cultivators in the elite team had successfully restored their mana completely.

They cooperated with each other very well, and quickly dispersed in different directions around them.

On the other hand, the sixty-nine cultivators had never really integrated into any team before. At this moment, facing such a situation, it was naturally impossible for them to take the initiative to unite and form a unified group.

So, under the ruthless pursuit of the elite team, the sixty-nine cultivators began to be eliminated one after another.

This time, because the Battle Cultivation Festival was officially opened, the rules allowed killing the opponent.

Many of the sixty-nine cultivators chose to surrender and leave the barrier circle on their own.

In less than half an hour.

All sixty-nine cultivators were eliminated.

Cao Rui put away the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and began to count the number of people without opening his spiritual sense.

Because in half an hour, the barrier shrank very quickly, and all the elite cultivators were in sight.

"Huh? Thirty-one?"

At this time, among the five elite teams, there were eleven people from the North Sea Holy Land.

Four people from the Kunpeng Demon Land.

Six people from the Hanyue Palace.

Five people from the Star Clan.

Five people from the Barbarian Clan.

There was really one more person.

Of the thirty-six cultivators in the elite team, only five were eliminated in the process of eliminating sixty-nine.

Originally, Cao Rui was confident that in this fierce elimination process, the number of people left would definitely be controlled within a mere thirty.

However, the facts ruthlessly gave him a heavy blow, making him realize that he had greatly underestimated the jaw-dropping gap between cultivators in different refining stages.

Among the thirty-six top forces in the Frost Sky Realm, the remaining five teams can be called the elite among the elites.

The terrifying strength they showed was like a crane standing out among chickens, far superior to the ordinary refining cultivators of other forces.

This phenomenon of being in the same realm but having a world of difference in combat power has led to the current situation.

And it can be foreseen that as the realms of cultivators continue to improve, this gap in combat power will not only not narrow, but will grow like a snowball.

Especially when cultivators enter the fusion stage, due to the strong intervention of the power of rules, this gap will be magnified to an extremely exaggerated degree.

Imagine that those powerful people in the fusion stage who have mastered the profound power of rules can release the power of destroying the world with just a gesture of their hands. In comparison, those cultivators who have not yet comprehended the essence of the power of rules can only be far behind and be eclipsed.

At this time, the huge barrier was shrinking bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye. For the monks inside, once they step out of the barrier, it means being eliminated.

Therefore, the monks of the five elite teams did not dare to neglect at all, and cautiously and slowly moved towards the central area.

Finally, when it reached a certain distance, the barrier stopped shrinking.

At this moment, these five elite teams of monks occupied five corners of the venue, and the distance between them was only a short thirty feet.

"Oops, we're just about to get eliminated in the last round! As long as the last loser is determined, this grand war-cultivation event will be a successful conclusion!" Niu Youdao said naively.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes widened, and they were thinking secretly: Which force will the last unlucky guy come from? The atmosphere at the scene instantly became solemn, as if even the air was frozen...

"Hey! I said you have already occupied so many war cultivator quotas. You should send someone to voluntarily eliminate them!" Ning Xin, the charming senior sister of Hanyue Palace, finally couldn't hold back her temper. He yelled, and the clear and sweet voice instantly broke the original peaceful atmosphere.

Her beautiful eyes were seen flowing, staring straight at Cao Rui not far away. It was obvious that these words were directed at him.

Hearing this, Cao Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealed a faint smile, and responded softly: "Show someone? Fairy, you said this so lightly, do you think this is as simple as a child's play? Furthermore, I am just an ordinary disciple, so how can I have the power and ability to decide the fate of my fellow disciples from the Holy Land behind me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Li, Ye Li, and many monks from the Beihai Holy Land who were standing behind Cao Rui all turned their attention to his tall back.

At this moment, although Cao Rui is not the senior brother among them in name, in fact, through various experiences and performances during this period, he has already unknowingly become the well-deserved leader in everyone's hearts. .

When Ning Xin heard Cao Rui's answer, she couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to herself: This Cao Rui is really overbearing and rude. At the moment, there is only one person left, but he is still so determined not to send anyone out.

Do we really want this stalemate to continue? Thinking of this, Ning Xin couldn't help biting her red lips, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. .

"Aren't you afraid that we will attack you?" Ning Xin said solemnly.

After the words fell, Niu Youdao led the three demon monks behind him to stand on Cao Rui's side: "Little girl Ning Xin, please don't use force on our allies."

"I was really acting before." Ning Xin was not surprised at all by Kunpeng Yaodi's behavior at this time.

As a result, the number of Beihai Holy Land plus the four disciples from Kunpeng Demon Land reached fifteen, accounting for almost half.

It is impossible to make Beihai Holy Land hand over people by force.

On the contrary, because of the reunification of the two, the monks from the Star Clan and the Barbarian Clan were trying to protect themselves and subconsciously moved closer to the female cultivator from Hanyue Palace.

At this moment, an elder from the Star Clan stood up. He stared coldly at the people in Beihai Holy Land, and finally fixed his gaze on Xuanxu next to Cao Rui. He slowly said: "Everyone in Beihai Holy Land, Strong man, why don't you consider handing over the monk from Ice Bird City? This will save everyone from wasting time and energy here."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu's face instantly became extremely ugly.

It is undeniable that his identity is indeed too eye-catching at this moment.

There were a total of five elite teams that came to participate in the trial this time, but he was the only one who was not from these five teams, but was able to stay here thanks to Cao Rui's protection.

However, Xuanxu did not panic for long, because he saw Cao Rui shaking his head without hesitation to express rejection.

Cao Rui said categorically: "Xuanxu? I have decided to keep him!"

Then, he turned to look at the Star Clan elder, with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes, and asked coldly: "What? Do you have any opinion on this?"

As soon as Cao Rui said these words, the scene suddenly fell into dead silence.

Although the Star Clan elder was dissatisfied, he still did not dare to say any more nonsense in the face of the powerful Cao Rui.

After all, Cao Rui's previous terrifying combat power was there, and no one was willing to touch this bad luck easily.

Seeing that the other party was no longer speaking, Cao Rui nodded slightly, then took a step forward and looked directly at the Hanyue Palace group not far away.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to the leading senior sister Ning Xin: "I heard that the senior sister of Hanyue Palace is named Ning Xin. Fairy Ning Xin, poor Taoist Cao Rui, how about I discuss something with you."

Hearing this, the woman named Ning Xin raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, looked at Cao Rui with her beautiful eyes, and responded: "I am Ning Xin, what do you want to tell me?"

Cao Rui smiled slightly and said straight to the point: "Now there is only one seat left before the final quota is determined. In my opinion, we might as well do it more simply. Since you and I are both good at spiritual consciousness, why not each of us? Use your spiritual power to have a head-on battle."

"If anyone loses in this competition, he will take the initiative to withdraw from the competition. Is this good?"

After Ning Xin heard this, she fell into deep thought.

She frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. However, after just a moment, she no longer hesitated and took a step forward resolutely.

This action caused the female cultivators behind her to look panicked, and they all tried to dissuade her, but Ning Xin ignored them and accepted Cao Rui's challenge.

"Okay, then let's decide the quota according to this method!" Ning Xin's crisp voice sounded. Although her tone was firm, it also revealed a hint of determination.

You know, before this, everyone had witnessed the power of Cao Rui's magical power, which was astonishing.

But even so, Ning Xin was still fearless and bravely moved forward. This courage was really admirable.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the crowd, it was Niu Youdao.

He shouted excitedly, "Hey, in that case, I'll be the referee for you two. Count the numbers! Get ready. I'll count to three, and you can start!" After that, he waved his arms exaggeratedly.

"Three..." As Niu Youdao shouted this number in a long tone, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

At the same time, the dark traces that were originally looming between Cao Rui's eyebrows suddenly opened.

In an instant, a deep light shot out from it, and it turned out to be a dark vertical pupil with a strange breath.

"Two..." Niu Youdao shouted the second number immediately.

At this moment, Ning Xin's eyes also showed a layer of faint moonlight, like two cold moons hanging in the air.

A bone-chilling breath spread from her body. It was obvious that she had already pushed her own skills to the extreme, and when the time came, she could display the shocking cold moon soul-stealing magical power.

"One!!" When the last number was roared out from Niu Youdao's mouth, the whole scene was like a ignited gunpowder barrel, and it exploded in an instant.

I saw a dark light shooting out from Cao Rui's Nether Spirit Eyes like lightning, with an unparalleled sharp momentum, going straight to Ning Xin.

At the same time, the cold moonlight in Ning Xin's eyes was like a surging tide, gushing towards the opponent at a lightning speed.

You know, the casting speed of the divine power of spiritual consciousness is extremely fast, almost surpassing most of the magic powers in the world.

Therefore, this duel is destined to be decided in a short time.

"Buzz!" Only a low buzzing sound was heard, and Cao Rui's spiritual eyes flashed with a dark light, and the speed was astonishing.

That dark color rushed towards Ning Xin like lightning, and first sank into her mind.

Ning Xin had been prepared, and she condensed the essence of the cold moon in advance to form a solid protective barrier.

However, the dark energy seemed to have spirituality, and it could see the flaw in the defense in an instant.

It was like a tricky arrow, accurately hitting Ning Xin's fragile soul.

In an instant, a storm was set off in Ning Xin's mind.

A large amount of cold moon essence and her own powerful spiritual power surged out, like a flood that broke through the dam, rushing madly towards the invading dark energy, trying to completely dissolve it.

However, although Ning Xin's spiritual power was extremely powerful, facing Cao Rui's full-strength spiritual eye breaking delusion, it could only support a short moment.

Then, Ning Xin's consciousness suddenly went out like a candle in the wind, and the whole person fell limply to the ground, falling into a deep coma.

Even with Ning Xin's powerful spiritual cultivation, she still couldn't resist Cao Rui's extremely sharp spiritual eye breaking delusion.

However, Cao Rui did not show mercy this time and used all his strength. Ning Xin must have suffered a lot of damage to her soul this time. It would probably take a lot of time and energy to recover.

Fortunately, although Ning Xin was unconscious, her soul was not completely broken and dissipated, which was enough to prove that her strength should not be underestimated.

At the same time, just as Han Yue Soul-Capture quietly approached Cao Rui's soul in his mind, his mysterious Netherworld Spirit Eyes suddenly burst into a strong light.

Then, a large amount of Netherworld energy merged with Cao Rui's consciousness, converging into an indestructible torrent, and forcibly blocked Han Yue Soul-Capture's attack.

A few moments of stalemate.

Finally, after several moments of fierce fusion, the power of Han Yue Soul-Capture was finally exhausted and completely disappeared.

Cao Rui perfectly defended against Ning Xin's consciousness.

One person stood with a normal face, and the other fainted to the end.

The winner was clear at a glance.

"This boy's spiritual power is really terrifying." This is what all the elite cultivators present were thinking at this moment.

Cao Rui and his image will surely be deeply engraved in the consciousness of this generation of high-level cultivators in the Frost Sky Realm.

The Netherworld Ghost Den cultivators lurking outside the barrier also used various methods to attack Cao Rui.

"This Battle Cultivation Festival ends here, and the 30 battle cultivators are confirmed."

The surrounding barriers began to fade rapidly.

After the official certification of the Netherworld Ghost Den, the cultivators present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this Battle Cultivation Festival, because many people were eliminated before the festival officially started, only a dozen cultivators actually died after the festival started.

This death rate is similar to the usual single-player mode of the Battle Cultivation Festival.

Shua shua shua! There was a quick and sharp sound of breaking through the air, and several figures with extremely powerful auras from the Nether Ghost Den fell from the sky like ghosts and landed steadily in the field.

The leader was tall, wearing the black robe and ghost mask of the Nether Ghost Den, exuding a terrifying aura that made people's heart palpitate, as if he was the master of this world.

This person was called Yougui, one of the respected elders of the Nether Ghost Den, and his strength had reached the Mahayana stage, which could be called a peerless strongman.

Moreover, he was the chief planner of this battle cultivator event and had absolute say in the selection of battle cultivators.

Yougui swept his eyes coldly over the crowd, and then slowly said: "Everyone, let me introduce myself first. I am Yougui, the elder of the Nether Ghost Den, and I am responsible for the relevant matters of this battle cultivator."

Cao Rui and the others heard the words and naturally knew the weight and strength of the great man in front of them, and listened to his words carefully.

Then, the ghost nodded slightly, expressing his recognition of the previous performance of everyone: "I have to say that your performance this time is quite outstanding. Being able to stand out from many contestants is enough to prove that you have extraordinary potential and strength."

Then, the ghost continued: "Since you have successfully passed the test, from now on, you will officially become a warrior in the spirit world. You must know that the title of warrior is not something that anyone can have, because among the cultivators of the same level, warriors can often fight against many without losing the wind, and are well-deserved synonyms for strong combat power!"

Then, the ghost waved his hand, and dozens of warrior badges shining with mysterious light crossed the sky like meteors, and fell accurately into the hands of Cao Rui and other thirty people.

These warrior badges are simple in shape, engraved with complex and exquisite runes, and faintly emit powerful energy fluctuations.

"This is your battle-cultivation badge. Wearing it on your body will bring you unexpected benefits when you venture out in the future, especially when you venture to the outer world. But before that, you need to use your own magic power to refine it. Only in this way can the battle-cultivation badge be truly bound to you, and outsiders will not be able to refine it." The ghost patiently explained to everyone.

Cao Rui concentrated his magic power to refine the battle-cultivation badge, thought for a moment, and hung it around his neck.

This time, the Nether Ghost Den did not have a single battle-cultivator qualify, and the Nether Ghost Den was disappointed.

However, the ghost still patiently explained the significance of battle-cultivation to Cao Rui and others.

"War Cultivators, it means that you are the thirty most outstanding cultivators in the Frost Heaven Realm in the past one or two thousand years."

"You will all become the pillars of the Frost Heaven Realm in the future, and the probability of being promoted to the Mahayana is very high. It is not impossible to ascend to the fairyland in the future."

"So, I hope you can live up to the identity of war cultivators, and don't lose the prestige of the Frost Heaven Realm war cultivators in the future when you venture out in the outer world."

"Okay, this war cultivator event is over."

"Everyone, take your elite disciples and return."

Not far away, Zhang Liang has already driven the spirit ship over, standing at the bow of the spirit ship and smilingly greeting Cao Rui and others.

In addition, the spirit ships of the spirit clan, the barbarian clan, the Hanyue Palace and the Kunpeng demon land are also there.

By the way, there is another spirit ship, which belongs to the Ice Bird City...

After Xuanxu and Cao Rui talked for a while, they returned to the spirit ship of the Ice Bird City and left the Nether Ghost Cave with the spirit ship.

Cao Rui also returned to the spirit ship with a large army.

"You are amazing, Cao Rui. You have cultivated such a difficult spiritual cultivation method, Lingyuan Guanshen Jue, to this level." Zhang Liang smiled.

Ten people came to participate in the competition, and ten people won the quota for combat cultivation. Although it was due to Cao Rui's fame, the reputation of this Beihai Holy Land was spread all of a sudden.

The neighboring Kunpeng Demon Land was also very happy. Four people qualified, which was not a lot among the last five forces in this event.

But in the past, Kunpeng Demon Land would only have one or two combat cultivators in a grand event, and two of them had to celebrate.

This time, four people qualified, which was a great joy.

The atmosphere in Bingniao City was also good, because Bingniao City did not have a combat cultivator in the last session.

Now Xuanxu has secured the quota for combat cultivation. No matter what the method, at least Bingniao City's status is secured.

I'm afraid it's Hanyue Palace that is mixed with joy and sorrow.

Five female cultivators in Hanyue Palace won the quota for combat cultivation this time.

But the seeded contestant, Senior Sister Ning Xin, fell.

Hanyue Palace was afraid that Ning Xin would develop a demon in her heart because of this.

Cao Rui used his full strength to perform the Spirit Eyes to break the delusion, which was quite powerful. He woke up only after returning to the Spirit Ship.

Facing the concerned eyes of her junior sister and the leader, Ning Xin just waved her hand calmly: "I am just not as skilled as others. There is no need to look at me like that."

"We will see the truth in Tianwaitian in the future."
