Taishi Star Network.
Haha, Wang Ye found the exit so quickly!”
“After completing the first mission, Brother Ye is secure in the top 100!”
“To be able to enter the Infinite World of Slaughter, and to be selected through the genius battle, he will receive high-quality training! God Ye’s prospects are limitless. Once he crosses the cycle of reincarnation, I’m afraid no one in the Taishi Starfield can match him.”
“Don’t celebrate too early. Wang Ye’s ranking has been falling behind. We’re not even halfway through the second half yet. Being this conservative will surely backfire. Just wait and see, he definitely won’t make it into the top 100 in the end!”
“Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, please don’t worry unnecessarily. Does Brother Ye need you to worry? He knows what he’s doing. Since he chose this safe path, he naturally has absolute confidence.”
Baobing Hall.
Wang Ye left the hall.
The exit was unique and once it appeared, it wouldn’t disappear.
He could leave at any time.
As for the other participants, even if they entered the main hall, they would be in different dimensional spaces.
The second half of the journey was still very long.
Wang Ye glanced at the leaderboard.
It was falling, which was normal.
After all, the competition for the top ten and top hundred was very intense.
Everyone was giving it their all to achieve a higher ranking. At this stage, it was time for scores to rise.
With the points gained from the 72 Heaven Halls trials of a higher stage and the points gained from killing the stronger sky race experts, efficiency was naturally higher than his.
However, as he continued to climb up, the pressure would increase.
The consumption of energy in battle would increase, and the danger level would rise, including the difficulty of the tests in the 72 Heaven Halls.
In addition to the potions, the exchange of map locations gave him more points but also increased consumption.
He could only use the battle to sustain the battle.
And his goal was the second big mission, which was to ascend to the ninth degree.
There was no turning back.
“The situation will change in the second half.”
“Let’s see how many can ascend to the ninth degree.”
Wang Ye was very relaxed.
Just like during the breakout competition, he had already secured a spot.
They watched as the group of geniuses fought to the death.
It was extremely comfortable.
However, he couldn’t relax.
There were still three 72 Heaven Hall trials in the first degree that he hadn’t completed.
In addition, the points from killing the sky race experts still needed to be carefully managed and accumulated.
Since he had chosen a safe path, he had to make every detail as perfect as possible.
Then, on the last cosmic day, he would pass through the one-way teleportation channel and leave the 72 Heaven Halls.
Complete the first major mission and lock in the points!
His goal was to be in the top ten!
In the fourth degree, Ye Mu from starfield No. 696 of the Darksun Eternal Nation had a graceful and free-spirited sword technique, with a top-ranked sword heart. However, faced with the endless stream of sky race experts, he was already feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
She wasn’t adept at group battles.
Moreover, her self-created sword technique was based on spatial mastery, malting battles against sky race experts a clash of titans.
The first three degrees were manageable, but the difficulty spiked dramatically in the fourth degree!
Not only did the number of sky race experts swell to over a hundred, but they were also led by a fourth degree Undying sky race member!
The gap between an inferior Undying Lifeform and a medium Undying Lifeform was immense.
Just her control over space had ascended to a whole new level.
In terms of life tier, strength level, and physical endurance, all aspects saw astonishing growth.
The most significant improvement was in origin power!
The source of Undying Lifeform strength!
Boom! Boom! Despite Ye Mu’s prowess, having previously claimed first place in the No. 696 starfield breakout competition and ranking in the top 10,000 of the Cosmic Stairway Board in the first round, he ultimately fell short in the fourth degree.
It wasn’t just Ye Mu. All the prodigies from the eternal nations encountered the first hurdle in the fourth degree.
Some perished under the endless siege of sky race experts, while others met their end in the trials of the 72 Heaven Halls.
The mortality rate was alarming.
This path was one of ascent, yet also one leading to the netherworld.
“I won’t reach the ninth degree.” Qiguan Xian’ai’s sword claimed the lives of one sky race expert after another.
This included the fourth-degree Undying Sky, whom she dispatched after a fierce battle at a minimal cost.
“With my current strength, I’ll be forced to halt at the seventh degree.”
“I need to readjust my plan.”
“I might not make it into the top 100.”
Rational participants like Qiguan Xian’ai were few.
For the majority, reaching the top 100 in the second round was an impossible feat.
The only chance to enter the two supreme factions was to secure a spot in the top 100 of the world rankings.
Even if they couldn’t achieve that, they had to give it their all and showcase their abilities. Perhaps they would catch the eye of the supreme factions.
However, the reality was harsh.
The difficulty of the 72 Heaven Halls exceeded all expectations.
Each stage surpassed the previous in strength!
One after another, the top ten thousand geniuses fell, and the number of participants dwindled.
Beyond the halfway point of the second half, it had already dropped below 10,000.
And it showed no signs of stopping.
9000.
8000.
7000.
In Jiabing Hall, Wang Ye completed all eight trials of the first degree, observing the current top ten standings.
It was highly competitive.
Xian Yuyan, Dongheng Wanyi, and Qing Xuan held the top three positions.
Behind them, Jiu Gedi, Qing Yu, and Ji Mengni closely pursued.
Beyond that, the leaderboard’s fluctuations were unpredictable.
One moment, someone would squeeze into the top ten, only to be eliminated and reset the next moment.
Many participants were regressing, their points diminishing continuously, like a landslide descending uncontrollably.
“A vicious cycle.” Wang Ye grasped the situation roughly.
Their strength couldn’t keep up with the challenges they faced.
They had no choice but to use points to exchange for potions to recover, then engage in battles, get injured, and recover again.
It was a cycle of endless repetition.
Ultimately, when their points were depleted, they were eliminated.
Ziyu’s ranking is on the rise.” Wang Ye smiled.
Initially, her ranking plummeted, even falling out of the top 1000 at one point.
However, she endured the pressure, and her ranking was now on the upswing. Currently, not only had she reclaimed her former 379th position, but she was still ascending.
Previously, he was only 70% confident, but now, he was more than 90% certain she could break into the top hundred.
The only regret was that Wen Rou fell out of the top ten.
This was not her forte.
Chi Xuan was in a similar situation.
They might still not have grasped the rules.
“It might not be a bad thing.” Wang Ye mused.
If she knew the rules and rushed to the ninth degree, she might very well perish halfway with Wen Ron’s planning ability.
At least now, her points weren’t zero. It was estimated that she would still be in the fourth or fifth degree by the end of the second half of the journey.
With her strength, she would be more than capable of self-preservation at this stage.
While her foundation of accumulated points from the first half might not secure her a spot in the top ten, her name would certainly be among the top hundred.
Seventh degree.
The second threshold loomed ahead!
The might of the sky’s superior Undying Lifeform was unmistakable.
The number of sky race experts under their command had surged dramatically!
Their forces included medium and inferior undying sky race members, forming a formidable army whose strength could dominate an entire cosmic nation!
Calomon and Dong Baiying, the two prodigies of the Dongheng Eternal Nation, had encountered their greatest challenge yet.
They were besieged relentlessly!
Waves of attacks from sky race experts swept through like a deluge.
Despite having deciphered the rules of the 72 Heaven Halls, it didn’t mean they could easily overcome them.
Upon entering the seventh degree, the hunting range of each Heaven Palace expanded even further!
There was no respite in sight!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The three-dimensional cracks attacked at the same time!
An endless stream of Undying Lifeforms from the sky race appeared. The top 100 cultivators on the two Cosmic Stairway Boards joined forces, but they were still defeated and fell.
They were not the only ones.
The Nansheng Eternal Nation and Asheli Eternal Nations were all eliminated after entering the seventh degree.
Ascending to the ninth degree was much more difficult than they had imagined.
Eighth degree.
Qing Xuan, ranked third on the leaderboard, was pushing toward the ninth degree!
The final trial!
Wielding a golden battle axe, Qing Xuan’s expression was fierce, with veins bulging.
He seemed possessed, with his hair standing on end as he roared.
Green light enveloped his body, but his eyes betrayed a struggle, mixed with various emotions.
Countless Undying Lifeforms of sky race attacked from all sides, and the fabric of time and space shifted continuously.
It was like a mirage, both real and illusory!
Wounds appeared, only to be instantly healed by the green light.
Qing Xuan’s combat prowess was formidable, and his bloodline talent was exceptional.
But he couldn’t withstand the relentless attacks of the sky race warriors, nor the spatial illusions and the onslaught of willpower.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Qing Xuan’s eyes gradually lost focus, his body battered, and his willpower shattered.
Boom! Third on the leaderboard, tragically eliminated.
Human virtual cosmic.
A commotion ensued.
“Qing Xuan, actually got eliminated?”
“His points are zero, it’s over, he won’t make it into the top 100 of the total points leaderboard.”
“The final trial of the 72 Heaven Halls before reaching the ninth degree is too terrifying! Even the strongest sky race warriors besieged Qing Xuan outside the eighth degree, and still couldn’t pass the final hurdle.”
“He’s the first, but surely not the last. Just wait and see, there will be other strong ones falling here.”
“A true trap! The Infinite World of Slaughter is too ruthless. Using such a rule, gives these prideful geniuses a harsh wake-up call.”
11
Did you notice? Wang Ye’s ranking is rising again!”
11
He still has an unfinished mission. Will he make it into the top ten?”
As the second half came to a close, Wang Ye returned to the Baobing Hall.
The leaderboard was ebbing and flowing, and who was the hero?
It was still her.
“Xian Yuyan.” Wang Ye glanced at the first-ranked Xian Yuyan, far ahead.
She had reached the ninth degree, with 15 million points, totaling 50.2 million!
Currently, she was the only one.
It was truly impressive.
Not only did the setback in the first round fail to defeat her, but it also brought out her strongest state.
First place in the first half, first place in the second half!
Well-deserved!
Wang Ye still had quite a gap to catch up to her.
Slowly but surely, he pursued her.
“I’m not the only one chasing after her,” Wang Ye remarked as he looked at the leaderboard refreshing once again.
Jiu Gedi from Weixin Eternal Nation had earned 15 million points, surpassing Donghuang Wanyi and claiming second place.
One should never underestimate the genius of the eternal nation.
Nevertheless, he was no slouch either.
He had perfectly achieved his goal in the first selection world.
“Swoosh!” Wang Ye stepped into the one-way portal, leaving the 72 Heaven Halls.
“Points Reward: 10 million..”
