Chapter 3209 - The Rampage Idol
Chapter 3209 - The Rampage Idol
In the blink of an eye, the fifth trial was about to begin. On the Midsky Myriadpath Stele, the bottom and middle positions of the Fortuna and Maniverse Ranking, belonging to those who had been eliminated, were basically decided. On the fortuna side, twenty out of two hundred teams remained, which meant ninety percent had been eliminated.
Suishen Yue and Suishen Yuan’s teams were among the fifty teams that remained on the maniverse side. The former currently ranked third, while the latter was in thirteenth place. Given that Suishen Yuan was a thousand years younger than Suishen Yue, it had taken considerable effort for him to reach that position. Like Tianming, Suishen Zhao, and Yumo Yuanni, he was at a disadvantage for the second, fourth, and sixth idols.
"The top ten places will become clearer after the next two rounds."
"You can even say they’ll be set."
"That’s especially true for those on the Fortuna Path. It’s almost impossible for anyone to pass the seventh trial. The end of the sixth round is the moment of victory or defeat."
Who among Qitian Jian, Suishen Yao, and Yumo Xue would reach the top? The cultivators of Myriadpath Valley waited with bated breath, filled with admiration for the minor pathkeepers who were of noble status and represented the best of the best in the cosmos. Tianming was another who made them just as eager. At that moment, he and Suishen Zhao were also on the Prehistoric Path, drawing the attention of the masses.
Meanwhile, Yumo Yuanni—who’d lost his teammate to an 'accident' during the trial—had to fight alone according to the rules. It would definitely be more difficult, so he would most likely be at the bottom of those remaining. And there were no rewards for taking an unremarkable twentieth place.
He just didn’t get it. He’d broken through on the Prehistoric Path, something that no specter had ever done before, so why was no one paying attention to him?
"Have you heard? Reverends Daolie, Shujian, and Qingyuan were killed by Eminent Fen Nu of House Suishen."
"I did!"
"Just because they have a grudge against Li Tianming? He’s only a black ring disciple!"
"I don't think so. Reverend Daolie secretly dealt with the minor pathkeeper’s people on the Skyward Grandpath. At the end of the day, he offended the minor pathkeeper herself. Although she ignored him, the entire House Huang was at odds with Li Tianming so she targeted Reverend Daolie.”
"You have to consider your identity even if you’re a reverend...."
Yin Chen had informed Tianming about Reverend Daolie’s death. Suishen Yao gave no warning to him before making a move. She was certainly not joking around; she did what she said she would do! Tianming couldn’t be more pleased that Reverend Daolie, who was obsessed with killing him, was dead. However, the incident made him realize that a minor pathkeeper like Suishen Yao wasn’t one to mess with.
"I’m lucky I don’t really have friends in Myriadpath Valley, or they would’ve all been killed by Yumo Yuanni."
The Three Exalted Houses would forever be supreme.
Besides Tianming, those who remained on the Fortuna Path waiting for the rampage idol were disciples of houses Qitian, Yumo, and Suishen. Myriadpath Valley was even more lively now that they were approaching the end. There were over two million disciples and saints around, which meant that more than ninety percent of Myriadpath Valley was present.
The Prehistoric Path was a grand sight. Although there were only a hundred eminents, led by Eminent Ranxing, countless people filled the sky and every corner in anticipation of the fortuna and maniverse disciples’ performance. Experts from the Million Mundi were all watching the young men and women.
Tension filled the air. Who would emerge on top? The spectators believed the answer would soon be revealed on the Fortuna Path.
At that moment, the rampage idol descended. The disciples of Myriadpath Valley who had been holding their breath charged ahead.
BOOM!
The rampage idol arrived in an imposing manner. Tianming already saw the lightning and flames that enveloped the Prehistoric Path ahead. Purple and red mist collided with each other, forming an enormous, maniacal astral giant. Lightning and fire coiled around the astral giant like a ring, forming a vortex of multiple layers. Thunderous booms shook the earth. Amidst the starlight, a tumultuous will enveloped the disciples on the Prehistoric Path.
"This idol is definitely the most violent!" Tianming already knew that the fifth idol posed no challenge for him because of its obvious lightning and fire attributes. Although the rampage idol might be difficult for others, his infernal and genesis orders could suppress its power.
Together with Suishen Zhao, Tianming, filled with confidence, collided with the rampage idol. Everyone believed the team would be able to face the fifth trial without any problems. If Tianming was able to prove them wrong when they doubted him, this trial would be even easier for him.
At that moment, Tianming crashed into the storm of lightning and fire that seemed to fill the entire world. The lightning was brutal, fast, and explosive, while the fire burned steadily, inflicting damage over a long period of time. The two powers actually shared the same origin; it was the reason Ying Huo and Meow Meow could use Beacon Chaosswamp together.
Suishen Zhao was still able to hold on after entering the storm. After all, this trial tested the participants’ talent and he was a pure redlotus flaregod prodigy. When dealing with fire, he could use his order to guide and disperse the idols’ power.
"Hurry up! Forget about the sixth trial for now, I want to be first in this round!"
Now in fourth place, Tianming knew that the fourth to tenth place would receive similar rewards, while the top three were rewarded more. For example, Suishen Yao, who had reached third place on the Fortuna Ranking, received far more than the fourth place, but Qitian Jian’s team was rewarded twice as much for taking first place. That was also true for the Prehistoric Path. If both of them made it to the top three, they would be rewarded even more with the promised five- or tenfold reward!
"The rampage idol!"
The giant descended in front of Tiaming and Suishen Zhao like a transcendent god, with one arm wrapped in lightning and the other surging with flames, attacking the two. It was very similar to Tianming.
"Interesting!" Without saying another word, Tianming mobilized the power of his infernal and genesis orders, while Ying Huo and Meow Meow used their abilities. Although they couldn’t compare to the astral giant, his majestic orders caused a dramatic change in the world of lightning and fire.
"I understand!"
At that moment, Tianming seemed to figure out the commonality between his six innate orders and imperial order. His innate orders were emperors in their own domains—the emperor of fire, emperor of lightning, and so on. No wonder his orders were in harmony and rapidly grew during the trials. It was just like the resonance he experienced with all sentient life. The idol’s power flowed into his imperial order, enhancing all of his orders.
It was no different this time.
