I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 222 The End
Seeing Wu Ming, Da Fan, and Qing Jun locked in a fierce battle, the many participants watching from afar exchanged bewildered glances.

At this point, the time was drawing near, and some powerful figures, who had not yet acquired enough Blood Qi Points, were beginning to get impatient.

Swish!
Suddenly, someone made a surprise attack from the dense forest, launching a brutal sneak attack on Gu Liufeng, who seemed completely unprepared.

Gu Liufeng seemed to have anticipated this, and with a wave of his longsword, he unleashed a burst of sword light, like a curtain, to block the attack from behind.

This move ignited a fuse, and instantly, fierce battle cries echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

The Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms' Prodigies lasted three days and two nights, and now it was the last day. To be precise, there was only about half a day left, or about four or five hours. Those who had accumulated enough Blood Qi Points were hiding and did not want to participate in the melee, while those who had not yet accumulated enough were fighting with all their might to seize the last opportunity.

Time passed little by little.

an hour,
Two hours,

three hours,

……

The battle zone between Wu Ming and his two companions, located in the very center, never quieted down and remained in a state of intense fighting.

"It seems that we should not underestimate the heroes of the world."

Bathed in azure and yellow light, Qingjun, wielding the Azure Lotus Dharma Form, continuously fought against Wu Ming and Da Fan. His eyes gleamed with a hint of light as he observed the two men with a strange expression.

Before he joined the battle, Wu Ming and Da Fan had already been fighting for some time, and their physical strength and soul power must have been depleted. The Dharma form and core techniques he cultivated were best suited for endurance. In terms of long-term combat, he was not afraid of anyone. Logically speaking, Wu Ming and Da Fan's soul power and physical strength could not possibly outlast him.

Can be biased,
Neither Wu Ming nor Da Fan showed any signs of being unable to hold on after several hours of continuous fighting.

Wu Ming was one thing, as he was also a master of Daoist arts and possessed some profound techniques, so it was not surprising that his soul power was enduring. But Da Fan was able to achieve a state of almost inexhaustible vitality through his physical body, and fought hard for several hours in a row, which was truly astonishing.

Although after five blood coagulations, martial artists can initially temper their internal organs and possess some ability to absorb and expel the primordial energy of heaven and earth, this ability is not strong enough to replace daily blood food, nor can it reach the realm of endless life and continuous circulation. At most, it can restore some strength in battle. Only by cultivating to the seventh blood coagulation can one truly achieve endless life.

Obviously,

Da Fan has a special physique, and the martial arts and techniques he cultivates are also extraordinary. With every move he makes, he breathes in and out the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and can refine a large part of it to make up for the consumption of his own strength.

At this moment, in terms of sheer power, Da Fan's methods are the strongest, followed by Wu Ming, and then Qing Jun. Each of the three has their own strengths. If it were a one-on-one battle, a prolonged confrontation would be able to determine the winner. However, with the three of them fighting in a melee, it becomes extremely difficult to determine the winner. After all, no matter how strong Da Fan's strength is, he cannot fight two opponents at once.

Similarly, Qingjun could not possibly gain the upper hand against Wu Ming and Da Fan.

As for Wu Ming...

He knew that if he went all out, he might be able to suppress Da Fan and Qing Jun in a two-on-one fight, but winning would be quite difficult, especially since he didn't want to reveal all his trump cards.

The only thing Wu Ming regrets is that he realized the true use of the Word of the One a little too late. Otherwise, if he had started tempering his primordial spirit with baleful energy a year earlier, his primordial spirit power would have been more condensed and possibly twice as strong as it is now!
In that case, it wouldn't be difficult for him to suppress Da Fan and Qing Jun alone.

……

The outer perimeter of the Wangyue Mountains.

The group of grandmasters, who were gathered together and waiting for the results of the battle of the prodigies, were all keeping track of the time.

Meng Huaizhen looked up at the sky, then silently estimated in his mind that about a quarter of an hour had passed before he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the golden array light screen.

"The time has come."

On the golden screen, the rankings of the Hundred Kingdoms' Prodigies Battle were frozen at this final moment, no longer changing.

First place: Da Fan of Lu State.

Second place: Liang Guoqingjun.

Third place: Wu Ming of Yong State.

Fourth place: Hu Weizheng from the State of Zhao.

……

Looking at the rankings, Meng Huaizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wu Ming's talent and strength would make passing the battle of prodigies a piece of cake, the fact that he, Da Fan, and Qing Jun, the three prodigies, gathered together for a massive melee in the final period was undoubtedly quite alarming.

In a one-on-one fight, Meng Huaizhen didn't think Da Fan and Qing Jun could defeat Wu Ming. Even if they were stronger than Wu Ming, Wu Ming could at least escape unscathed. But in a three-way battle, it was hard to say, and there was a slight possibility that they would be eliminated.

With talent like Wu Ming's, he's certainly qualified to enter the sacred cultivation grounds, but the rules of the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigy Battle are fixed: if you haven't passed, you haven't passed. The Great Jin Dynasty won't make exceptions for anyone, even if Wu Ming's talent is exceptionally outstanding. Now,

With the conclusion of the Prodigy Battle and the final rankings, Wu Ming was among the top three and was granted direct entry into the Holy Land of Cultivation. This finally brought Meng Huaizhen a sigh of relief, though he was still worried about potential accidents. Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Standing to the side, Yan Chuyu also stared at the light screen with a flickering gaze. She could naturally see the changes on the light screen and knew that in the last few hours, Wu Ming, Da Fan, and Qing Jun encountered each other one after another and started a great battle. This was the clash between the three most outstanding people of this generation in the Hundred Kingdoms of the Northern Wilderness outside of the Great Jin!

Yan Chuyu regretted that she was not nearby to witness the battle firsthand, but she did see that Wu Ming was fighting against two peerless geniuses in this chaotic battle without being at a disadvantage. In her heart, Wu Ming's figure grew even taller.

……

"The time has come."

The Holy Daoist Hui Ri sat upright in the sky, looking down at the Wangyue Mountains. His gaze shifted slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand and pressed down lightly.

hum! !

In an instant, a vast and powerful pressure permeated the entire Wangyue Mountain Range.

Within the mountains, all the combatants, whether close or far, were instantly stunned by this magnificent and overwhelming pressure, rendering them all unable to move.

Even Wu Ming, Qing Jun, and Da Fan, who were engaged in fierce combat at the very center, were the same.

hum.

The moment that oppressive aura spread, Wu Ming felt an overwhelming and irresistible power envelop his entire body. His Thunderflame Dharma Image immediately went out of control and dissipated, and he fell from the sky to the ground.

At the same time, Qingjun's Dharma form was also forcibly dispelled and destroyed, while the spirit treasure-level ring weapon that Da Fan was wielding also turned into an arc of light and flew back to his hand. At the same time, he was suppressed in place and could not move.

Just for a moment.

Everyone in the entire Wangyue Mountain Range was suppressed, and all battles came to an abrupt end.

Everyone, including Wu Ming, looked up at the sky. The golden array light screen in the sky quickly rolled back and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the figure of the Radiant Sun Dao Saint, who stood high in the sky. He was like a radiant sun, and his body was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at him.

"The time has come. According to the rules of this battle of geniuses, the top ten in terms of blood energy points will directly enter the holy land for cultivation, while the top one hundred in terms of blood energy points will come with me to the Great Jin to participate in the next round of assessment."

Hui Ri Dao Sheng spoke in a light tone, then flicked his sleeve.

Swish!
Inside the Wangyue Mountain Range, more than a hundred people were all enveloped by a beam of golden light and swept out of the mountain range in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Dao Saint Hui Ri casually gestured, and golden light spread out, enveloping ten figures in the mountain range. These were Da Fan, who ranked first in blood energy points, Qing Jun, who ranked second, Wu Ming, who ranked third, and so on, totaling ten people.

"You ten are among the top ten, so come with me now."

Hui Ri Dao Sheng glanced at Da Fan and the others, his gaze lingering on Wu Ming, Qing Jun, and Da Fan for a moment. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, golden light instantly spread out, sweeping in all directions and gathering Wu Ming and the others together.

Wu Ming felt a golden light envelop him. This power was unshakeable and irresistible, an indescribable grasping technique. He couldn't distinguish east from west or north from south, and didn't know where he was.

Faced with this situation, he remained calm. He took a deep breath and quickly composed himself, slowly regulating his primordial spirit to recover the soul power he had lost in the battle of geniuses.

that's it,
I don’t know how long it took.

When Wu Ming recovered from that floating state where he was disoriented and felt his feet firmly planted on solid ground, he finally slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, he saw that the golden light that had enveloped him had disappeared. Besides him, there were nine other top ten geniuses, including Da Fan and Qing Jun, standing in an open field, all of them looking somewhat bewildered.

Looking around,

But all that could be seen was a misty, ethereal landscape, with towering mountains stretching endlessly.

They were on the summit of a towering, steep mountain. Standing there, it felt as if they were floating among the clouds. Just a few dozen feet away was the edge of the platform, and below was a bottomless, dark abyss.

"So this is the sacred cultivation ground of the Great Jin Dynasty? The primordial energy of heaven and earth is so rich."

As Wu Ming sensed his surroundings, his gaze shifted, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

He was naturally very familiar with the concept of primordial energy of heaven and earth. He had already learned a great deal about it back in Jingye City. For example, those 'spiritual fields' that could grow spiritual rice were special lands rich in primordial energy of heaven and earth.

At this very moment, the primordial energy at the top of the cliff where they were located was so abundant that it was unimaginable, more than ten times richer than the most fertile spiritual fields outside Jingye City!
It can be said,
Everywhere here are spiritual fields, where all sorts of rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth can be grown.

For martial arts masters who have undergone five blood coagulations, their internal organs are tempered, and they also possess the ability to absorb and expel the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Cultivating in such an environment with extremely abundant primordial energy is far better than in a place like Yong Kingdom.
