Chapter 1297 – Competition Clash

“Eight people are here, so let’s begin. Lots will now be drawn to decide who you will be paired with,” the referee entered the competition ground and announced.

The eight people drew lots. Zhao Feng pulled number eight.

“One will fight against two, three against four, and so on,” the referee pointed at the four courts and proclaimed.

The moment he finished speaking, Ancient God Departed Spirit flew to the first court and quietly stood.

“I’m finished! It’s Ancient God Departed Spirit!” A large man with the head of a dragon looked like he had been struck by a lightning bolt, but he still walked onto the court. No matter what number he drew, since Ancient God Departed Spirit was here, he had no chance of winning anyway. It was just a matter of losing earlier or later.

The people at the other courts had similarly grim expressions.

“The four matches will run at the same time. Four people will be eliminated in this round!” As the referee loudly spoke, he took out four black balls the size of an ordinary human head.

“I should first explain the rules of this competition. In this match, both competitors will attack this Heaven Yuan Ball. If one side is not able to hit the ball back, they will lose. Remember, you cannot directly attack your opponent, only pour energy into the Heaven Yuan Ball to attack them!”

The referee’s explanation was very simple. Those participating in this competition had either looked through the rules already or observed some competitions previously. The rules were extremely simple.

“Heaven Yuan Ball….” Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled as he stared at the ball.

He remembered that one of the primary materials for forging a high-quality divine artifact was called Heaven Yuan Divine Iron Ore. It seemed like this ball was made of the same material.

This kind of ore had an incredible ability to absorb energy, but it was also extremely tough. Even Rank Eight Ancient Gods would find it very hard to destroy it.

“Kid, let’s have some fun. After all, we paid fifty high-quality God Crystals!” Across from Zhao Feng, a man with blue eyes and blue hair smiled. In his view, Ancient God Departed Spirit was bound to win, but since he had already paid so many God Crystals, he might as well have some fun.

Zhao Feng ignored him. Even though Ancient God Departed Spirit had the Eye of Death and was extremely strong, this wasn’t a fight to the death, which meant that victory was not out of the question.

“Begin!” the referee announced, throwing the four balls to the people at the four courts with the lower number.

Hwooom!

One of the black balls fell in the hands of the blue-haired man across from Zhao Feng. This man immediately began to use his bloodline, condensing powerful Wind Intent around the black ball to control it.

“Whirlwind Blitz!” The blue-haired man’s two blue eyes began to turn, immediately creating countless tiny white blades of wind around the black ball.

Thwish!

The black ball shot toward Zhao Feng with the speed of a gale, covered in countless tiny blades.

Zhao Feng hadn’t carefully reviewed the rules of the competition before entering, but through the referee’s explanation and the blue-haired man’s actions, he could guess what was going on.

Boom! Bang!

Zhao Feng immediately sent out a palm of Chaos Origin Divine Power. A part of the Wind Intent around the black ball was scattered, while some of it was absorbed and converted to Chaos Origin Divine Power, causing the black ball to shoot back at the blue-haired man.

“How strong!” The blue-haired man grimaced as he circulated his own Divine Power and eye-bloodline to barely block the black ball and send it back.

“It’s over.” Zhao Feng circulated a massive amount of Chaos Origin Divine Power and fired off another palm.

Hwoooo!

Wrapped in twisted and chaotic Divine Power, the black ball shot forward like a destructive cannonball.

“Damn!” The blue-haired man used all his Divine Power, but he was still incapable of stopping the black ball.

Boom! Bang!

The black ball burst through his attack and crashed into the ground behind him.

At the same time, on Ancient God Departed Spirit’s court:

“Death Spear!” Ancient God Departed Spirit used his Eye of Death to surround the black ball with a pitch-black spear that exuded Death energy.

“Oh no!” His opponent paled and didn’t even dare to receive the ball, instead dodging to the side.

Boom! Bang!

The black ball infused with Death Intent struck the unique floor, leaving behind a gray and shallow dent.

“As expected, no one here is a match for Ancient God Departed Spirit!”

“That really is Death Intent! It was actually able to damage the floor of the competition ground!”

The two competitors on the court adjacent couldn’t help but sigh in praise.

Everyone was so focused on Ancient God Departed Spirit that only a few people noticed that Zhao Feng had ended his match even earlier than Ancient God Departed Spirit.

“You’re not bad.” At this moment, Ancient God Departed Spirit suddenly looked at Zhao Feng and murmured.

…

The first round swiftly ended, and the remaining four people began their second match.

“Chaos Origin Divine Palm!” Zhao Feng pushed forward a massive palm of dim light that engulfed the black ball and swept forward.

“How could he be this strong?” Across from him, a woman dressed in red grimaced as she hurriedly tried to respond.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Zhao Feng continuously applied his Chaos Origin Divine Power to skillfully control the black ball. Each of these attacks was extremely strong, and he used his God’s Spiritual Eye to ensure that he sent the ball at the weak points in the woman’s defense.

After five exchanges, the woman in red was defeated. Now, the crowd finally began to notice Zhao Feng’s power.

“Even if you beat me, you will still lose to Ancient God Departed Spirit!” the woman in red viciously said.

“Interesting!” On the other end, Ancient God Departed Spirit defeated his opponent with overwhelming strength.

In the first match, he had already noticed Zhao Feng’s abnormal strength. Originally, he planned to use this competition to give that mysterious mission-giver the chance to see his strength, but he had run into an opponent that he could have a decent fight with.

“Okay, now is the time for the last match!” the referee hollered.

Whoosh!

Ancient God Departed Spirit went to Zhao Feng’s court and stood across from him, the two of them in a distant stand-off.

“Who is that kid? His strength is not bad!”

“He’s the Ziling Zone’s Zhao Feng. You might not have heard of him, but he directly broke through to Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm and then managed to break into Rank Seven within a year, even dealing a major defeat to Ancient God experts of the Blazing Gold Race!” a young Ancient God of the Ziling Zone immediately explained.

“Hah, directly breaking through to Rank Six? Do you take me for a fool? And even if that was all true, if he only just became an Ancient God, then he’s no match for Ancient God Departed Spirit!”

Some of the nearby spectators were already quarreling with each other. A portion of the Ziling Zone’s people also weren’t optimistic about Zhao Feng’s chances, but they still hoped to see Zhao Feng overcome Ancient God Departed Spirit of the Antian Zone.

“I hope that you can play with me for a little longer than the others!” Ancient God Departed Spirit gave an intimidating smile as black fog began to surge out of his pitch-black eyes.

“Let the match begin!” At this moment, the referee threw the ball at Ancient God Departed Spirit.

“Death Spear!” The black fog surging out of Ancient God Departed Spirit’s eyes immediately shrouded the black ball in a layer of Death Intent, condensing into a black and lethal spear.

Thwish!

Under Ancient God Departed Spirit’s control, the spear carried the black ball thrusting toward Zhao Feng.

“Chaos Origin Divine Palm!” Zhao Feng grimly launched an extremely solid palm of chaotic light.

“It’s useless. Your Divine Power will gradually wither away against my Death Intent.” Ancient God Departed Spirit softly chuckled.

But a moment later, the black ball he had shot was blocked by Zhao Feng.

Boom!

The Chaos Origin Divine Power bitterly clashed with the Death Divine Power, but in the end, Zhao Feng suppressed all the Death Intent.

“What… how?” Ancient God Departed Spirit was rather surprised. Zhao Feng had managed to stop his attack without much difficulty at all.

Then Ancient God Departed Spirit realized that Zhao Feng’s Divine Power contained many kinds of Intent, all of very high level. Moreover, all these Intents were linked together, compensating for each other’s flaws to form a unique Divine Power that could dominate all.

“Chaos Origin Divine Power alone won’t be able to deal with him!” Zhao Feng’s left eye rippled with Eye Intent.

Boom!

As he shot the black ball back at Ancient God Departed Spirit, Zhao Feng had his left eye unleash a purple-and-silver bolt of lightning at his opponent.

“Soul eye-bloodline technique?” Ancient God Departed Spirit was once again rather surprised. The Soul eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng used was extremely powerful.

“Death Binding!” Countless black tendrils erupted from Ancient God Departed Spirit’s eyes and twisted around the black ball. Powerful Death Divine Power began to slowly grind away at the energy around the black ball.

“Get out there!” Ancient God Departed Spirit took control of the black ball and sent it shooting back at Zhao Feng.

Death Divine Power rippled from the black ball, creating a mobile black hole of death. Anyone that got close to it would be swallowed up and crushed into bits.

Truly worthy of being one of the Eight Great God Eyes. Even my basic Chaos Origin Divine Power will find it very hard to stop this!  Zhao Feng remarked to himself as he once more activated his left eye, causing a weak Spacetime Intent to spread out.

The black ball instantly began to slow down.

This strange sight naturally attracted the attention of others.

“Spacetime Intent!?” Ancient God Departed Spirit’s face darkened. Spacetime Intent was not one bit weaker than his Death Intent.

Under the effect of the Spacetime Intent, the black ball very easily came under Zhao Feng’s control.

Thwish!

Spatial blurs appeared around the black ball, and with a blink, it was right in front of Ancient God Departed Spirit.

“So fast!” Ancient God Departed Spirit hurriedly activated his Eye of Death.

“Let me try out my new move on you!” Zhao Feng’s eye began to surge with Eye Intent.

A distorted ball of chaotic light rapidly shot toward the black ball.

Boom! Swish!

The black ball seemed to go crazy, carried forward by this extremely unstable power. Ancient God Departed Spirit tried to use his Eye of Death to nullify the power on the black ball, but suddenly…

Boom! Bang!

The black ball exploded with unprecedented berserk power, driving away all other energy.

“Earthshaking Nova!” Zhao Feng’s left eye returned to normal.

At the same time:

Thump!

The black ball pierced through Ancient God Departed Spirit’s defense and landed on the ground behind him, creating a deep hole in the ground.

Everyone was silent. After a long while, the crowd exploded with cries of shock and doubt.

“Ancient God Departed Spirit lost!?”

“I can’t believe this!”

The match had ended too quickly, and the result was too surprising.

In the distance, Xiahou Wu faintly smiled. He could naturally tell that the eye-bloodline technique Zhao Feng used just now was learned from Young Master Hai.

On the edge of the God Eye Competition Ground, a black-robed woman coldly laughed. “He actually lost?”

Although Ancient God Departed Spirit was very strong and up to her standards, he lost to a person with an unknown eye-bloodline.

At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil arrived.

“How is it?” Ancient God Profound Devil whispered.

“The members have been confirmed.” The slim woman nodded.

“Eh? It’s him…? Use your Eye of Destiny to look at him!” Ancient God Profound Devil’s attention was drawn to a certain part of the God Eye Competition Ground, after which he glanced at the thin woman and ordered.
