This villain is too popular.

Chapter 355 A Carefully Designed 'Good Show'

Get up and say it again?
Upon hearing Tiandao's words, everyone instinctively looked at Mi Yao, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

The Avengers clearly had the numerical advantage.

But the speed at which the Heavenly Dao moved in an instant, and the casual strike, were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished everyone's 'courage'.

Whether it was good luck or the result of divine intervention is unknown.

Although Mi Yao is currently unconscious, he has not been eliminated; he has simply lost his own Star Tear.

Seeing that the Avengers hadn't made a move for a while, Tiandao turned to look at everyone, his smile unchanged, but his tone was full of arrogance.

"Come on, either eliminate me, or I'll eliminate you."

He stood opposite the crowd, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind, and the vector force field around him gleaming faintly.

Mingdao was only one person, but at this moment he was like an insurmountable mountain, making everyone feel suffocated.

After an unknown amount of time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "What are you afraid of! He's all alone! Attack him together!"

Hearing this, the others seemed to be emboldened and all went all out.

Pale blue ice crystals, red flames, black shadows, and a torrent of silver metal.
The attacks of more than a hundred people intertwined, like a sky-covering 'star energy storm' sweeping towards the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Heavenly Dao, which was at the very center of the attack, remained completely calm upon witnessing this scene.

He raised his hand, and the invisible vector force field expanded instantly in a wave, covering the star energy attacks.

hum!
Under the influence of the vector force field, these stellar energy attacks seemed to have been paused, hanging motionless in mid-air, which was quite eerie.

"How is this possible?!"

Some people who were witnessing the Heavenly Dao's intervention for the first time stared at this horrifying scene and immediately cried out in disbelief.

Without giving them much time to react, Tiandao flicked his finger.

The next second, the paused attacks suddenly changed direction, flying back towards the Alliance members like a pack of out-of-control beasts!

"what!!!"

Screams rose and fell as some Avengers had their shields pierced by the ice crystals they summoned, others had their clothes burned by their own flames, and still others were thrown back by the aftershocks of their own stellar weapons, crashing heavily to the ground.

In just one moment, more than twenty people were eliminated, and their competition watches lit up with red "elimination" lights one after another.
Many others were injured.

At this moment, the anime's camera quietly panned to the back of the Avengers.

Chen Kong had already retreated behind the group long ago.

It turned out that the one who suddenly shouted for everyone to attack was none other than him.

After learning this, the anime viewers on the 13 stations couldn't hold back anymore.

"Good heavens! Prisoner Kong is using a 'borrowed knife to kill' tactic, ordering others to charge while he hides in the back!"

'Classic move—the protagonist frowns and silently retreats behind the crowd.'

'To be honest, Lao Tian's stats are getting increasingly insane. Will he even have a chance to show off his skills anymore?'

'Poor Mi Yao, he led the way for ages, and then collapsed the next second?'

As the barrage of comments rolled, the Avengers fell into a brief silence due to Tiandao's powerful intervention.

They all stopped in their tracks, their faces pale as they stared at the Heavenly Dao, and no one dared to step forward easily.

Seeing this, Tiandao decided to play a new game with them.

He withdrew the vector force field and looked up at the ground beneath his feet.

Boom!

Amidst the horrified expressions of the crowd, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.

Centered on the Heavenly Dao, the ground within a one-kilometer radius began to slowly rise. Fluorescent grass, rocks, and even the wristwatches of those who had just been eliminated floated into the air along with the ground, quickly rising to a height of 100 meters!

Someone lay prone on the edge of the floating grassland, looking down. The once vast expanse of land had been reduced to small black dots in many places, and a wave of dizziness washed over them.

Tiandao and Caroline stood under the fluorescent tree in the center of the floating island. He leaned against the tree trunk, looking down at the panicked crowd, his tone slightly mocking.

"Given your strength, I've decided to change the game. Fifty of you. If any fifty of you remain, I'll give you the remaining Tears of Stars."

"but."

Tiandao turned to look at Caroline, who nodded knowingly, then took out a crystal hourglass from her pocket and placed it upside down on the ground.

Golden sand flowed slowly down, shimmering in the sunlight.

Seeing that Caroline had made the arrangements, Tiandao spoke again.

"You only have ten minutes. After ten minutes, this floating island will completely collapse."

"what?!"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, the crowd erupted in chaos.

Heaven is clearly decreing that they should kill each other.

"Quiet."

The voice of Heaven rang out again, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression, silencing the clamor of the crowd.

He looked down at the crowd and said calmly, "Either follow the rules and try to advance, or jump down now and be eliminated."

Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly fell silent.

Everyone understood that the Heavenly Dao was not joking; it had the ability to turn a kilometer of ground into a floating island, and naturally, it had the ability to eliminate them all in ten minutes.

Revolt?

The 'Star Energy Storm' just now has proven how ridiculous this choice is.

run away?

Jumping from a height of 100 meters is something that, apart from a few Star Envoys with special abilities, no one else can do it at all.

In an instant, everyone's expressions turned ugly, especially those who originally possessed the Tears of the Stars.

They could have passed the test by simply waiting until it ended, but now they've been driven to the brink by fate.

You either eliminate others or be eliminated by others; there is no third option.

Seeing the commotion in the crowd, Tiandao's lips curled into a wicked smile.

For him, this qualifying round was never an 'assessment' but an interesting 'observation game'.

See what expressions these people will make and what choices they will make in order to survive.

After all, for some people, failing to be eliminated is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing.

It's important to know that the Starry Sky Ladder ranking competition has always had a 'death limit'.

Once you pass the test, the subsequent journey on the ladder will be a test of blood and fire.

Only true geniuses and a lucky few have the chance to stand out and transform into true powerhouses with their tempered bodies and souls.

Therefore, it is better to let some unlucky fools who are unaware of their own limitations die on that cruel battlefield.

It would be better to stop them here.

Moreover, Heaven's actions were not entirely for the sake of so-called 'pleasure'.

He put on a show specifically for certain 'interested' people.

P.S.: I can't stay up any longer, so I'll post this chapter now and finish the rest after I wake up.
