chapter-1825
The origins of the two young blonde beauties instantly became a topic to discuss. Most of them pointed out the similarity to the Alstreim Family's features and characteristics and a few others were sure that they came from the Alstreim Family.
However, how was it possible that so many talented individuals came from the Alstreim Family? They refused to believe that these two beauties were also a part of Alstreim Family even though there were certain pieces of evidence that suggested it.
Followed by them, the Vast Sky Palace also entered, brimming with a burst of confidence as they entered, both young men and young women. They practiced Wind and Spatial Laws, and that itself elevated them to a height far above anyone else since both laws complimented each other. However, it was not like any of them mastered the ability to fuse them both, which made them only a bit stronger than the other Great Righteous Sects.
However, their overall capability far surpassed any power they've encountered, making them the most force to be not reckoned with!
With this many entering experts and powerhouses appearing, the excitement within the atmosphere reached an all time high. Just when they thought it wasn't going to get any better, all the sound died down.It was just as they thought. It didn't get any better but the New Era Battle Arena dropped to a pin-drop silence as they looked at the bevy of veiled beauties fly through the highest entrance as the hegemons, making their way towards the seat. There were also a few men, but it could be seen that they were Ancestor or Grand Elders while even the Falling Snow Sect beauties were there.
Still, the young man that they expected wasn't there but there was an heavy surmounting pressure emanating from their group, making them almost unable to breath.
"Now, now, Nadia. There's no need to be so cautious..."
An amused female voice echoed, causing the crowd to quickly heave a sigh as they could breathe freely now, thanks to the help of the Earth Dragon Queen.
The ominous wolf that looked like a empire-toppling beauty took their breath away but the pressure she emitted left them unable to move or breathe, rapidly fastening the rate of their heartbeat. Even the hegemons looked astonished and solemn at Nadia, for they recognized that her prowess was... extremely strong!
The Mandate Emperor and Karmic Guardian Emperor's eyes were wide as they noticed that she could be stronger than the both of them combined. Last time, they had worked together and trapped but this time, it was unknown if they could do anything to her!
But unlike the ones who understood the solemness of the situation, many were full of distaste and salty as they looked at the Alstreim Family show off by appearing the last.Just because they had one or two individuals that surpassed everyone else, they thought they could act arrogant in front of everyone else?
They thought that were was going to be a beatdown of arrogance when nobody said anything even after a minute passed, causing them to be shocked!
This... what the hell was going on!?
The ominous wolf couldn't be just forgiven just because she was a dumb magical beast, right?
If any other magical beast had pressured everyone else present, it would certainly be taken down or even killed! After all, how many could withstand a higher stage being's pressure? It was certainly a hostile attack, so why wasn't that ominous wolf punished by everyone present!?
"Now that everyone has gathered inside, I would like to announce the events that would take place even though the schedule is already widely known."
Contrary to their expectations, the Mandate Emperor stood at the very north of the elliptical battle arena and started to speak with a solemn voice after everyone was seated in their place.
"First, this competition was meant to be something exclusive to the Nine Western Territories but due to the recent upheavals and the absence of hegemons, we decided to change the format of this competition. Those are not the only reasons since we have this..."
The Mandate Emperor looked to the skies and shook his head, "... ominous sign on top of her heads. I'm sure everyone are making preparation to face whatever that may come and this is one of those preparations."
A smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent face, "The young generation are the lifeline of any power. The oldest generation may be the pillars, but foundation crumbles over time and it is up to the younger generation to support the crumbling foundation by becoming the foundation themselves or, even become pillars and nurture the next generation of support."
"Today, we're going to be exactly seeing what our youths are going to accomplish in this New Era Battle Arena. The winners of this competition would receive our full support in cultivation resources and they wouldn't lack anything for the most part. However, would they be worthy?"
"Worthy!!!"
A cacophony of echoes from millions of voices invoked an extreme wind that brushed past everyone, causing the Mandate Emperor to deeply smile.
"The competition consists of three segments. The competition for Seventh Stage Young Experts goes on for two days, and so does the competition for Eighth Stage Young Experts for the next two days. Only the competition for the Ninth Stage Young Powerhouses would go for three days, making it so that this Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition would go on for a seven days for total!"
"Ninth Stage Young Powerhouses!?"
Most people sucked in a cold breath of air.
Some didn't know when these 'Young Powerhouses' became so common that a competition could be hosted for them. However, they forgot that most powers were concentrating on a single or a few individuals now instead of catering to individual achievements. When most of the resources was dumped on a single or a tiny few individuals, they found that it vastly increased their prowess but didn't increase their overall prowess.
Most powers didn't dare to try this method since it was like putting all one's hard earned wealth into one bucket, but since a calamity was inbound, no one had the patience to slowly increase their power's overall prowess anymore and resorted to power leveling the most talented individuals even though it screwed up most other people who were striving and equally hardworking as them, but were now contrarily forced to look for other things to prove themselves useful through marriages and professions.
That's why the tension in the air to look for grooms and brides were high or be accepted by a profession master. It was even more of a life-changing matter than ever before.
Nevertheless, only seven days for this competition of this scale?
They felt that the margin was too small. Usually, even the previous Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competitions lasted for two weeks, sometimes even a month, considering that it was once in a century event and needed to be grand, so they couldn't understand why the time period for the competition was so small.
Although they weren't nitpicking, the atmosphere became low with excitement as they remembered less days meant less days to enjoy. Both young women and men felt that this was the final time where they would be able to be themselves before being used by their power to fulfill its needs, not to mention that their time to find a potential groom or bride was severely narrowed down to seven days.
This was a place where hundreds of millions of exchange takes place but it was reduced to a short period of time? They couldn't help but lament.
"Due to the power intricacies and disparity, no power from the Large-Sized Territories will battle in the competition for Seventh Stage Young Experts. Instead, powers from the Mid-Sized Territories are eligible to participate in this battle. I'm sure you all know this already, but let me tell you all something you don't know."
"Previously, it was decided that Law Tree Fruits that increases their chances to step into the Ninth Stage or even possible create a Perfect Law Domain, a mighty construct made by the Vital Tempering Sect, from the power that is unfortunately no longer alive, the Pearl Sage Ark of High-Level Emperor Grade and a Dream Dusk Dew, a heavenly resource that would increase one's Soul Forging Cultivation to Supreme Soul Stage upon consumption, would be rewarded to the Seventh Stage Young Expert Winners but on top of that, we have decided to give them ten Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Cores of which one of them of their elemental nature which can be consumed by the top first winner alone."
"Hsss!~*
Many people sucked in cold breath of air again as well as gasped as their mouths went agape. The rewards for a mere Seventh Stage winner was this high, so what about a Eighth Stage Young Expert or a Ninth Stage Young Powerhouse?
They couldn't help but eagerly wait for the Mandate Emperor's next words!
