Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes once again focused on Ao Lingchen, who was standing in front of the Star Gate and the people from the Essence Sword Sect.    

He was a person of great importance. His appearance had shaken the power of all the major powers, and had even caused a great war between the Essence Sword Sect and the Stellar Sect's Sect Master. It had almost caused a great war between the sects.    

How could such a person not be noticed?    

Discussions broke out in the surroundings. The topics that everyone was talking about were all related to Ao Lingchen, as well as their guesses about the situation in the secret realm.    

Facing the gazes of the crowd on the square, Ao Lingchen smiled as if nothing had happened.    

Even he himself did not care about Wang Boyong's eyes that were as sharp as blades just now. What could these people's gazes do now?    

More ants would bite an elephant to death, but after experiencing the threat of Wang Boyong's killing intent, Ao Lingchen felt like he was as motionless as a mountain, like a rolling blade of meat, and completely ignored it.    

Ao Lingchen didn't take it seriously, but the others standing next to him couldn't do it. Under the heated gazes and discussions, not everyone could behave like him.    

As if sensing the unusual atmosphere, Elder Yuan Shen of the Essence Sword Sect stared at the people of the Stellar Sect with a gloomy expression on his face beside the Star Gate. He shouted coldly, "Elder Mo, it's time to collect the statistics. This matter has attracted the attention of a group of big shots. If you neglect it, I think you will have to bear the consequences!"    

It was not a good thing to attract too much attention. At this time, he needed to use one thing to divert the attention away.    

When he heard this, Mo Qi gritted his teeth and stared at Nangong who was scolding him from afar. A hoarse voice came from his throat as he said, "I don't need you to remind me, old ghost Nangong."    

Mo Qi was going crazy in his heart. Killing intent filled his mind, and he clenched his fists tightly.    

"Everyone, listen up! Now, let's start counting the strength of your blood energy!"    

A hoarse voice slowly spread, and one could vaguely feel the irritation and anger in the hoarse voice.    

The moment the voice fell, a transparent pillar of light flew out from Mo Qi's hand and stood in front of the Star Gate.    

"This is the Blood Qi Test Pillar. Those who have the confidence to enter the top 100, come over and place your hands on it. It will show the amount of blood Qi you have obtained in the secret realm. The top 100 people with the highest amount of blood Qi will advance to the next round of the competition."    

As soon as Mo Qi finished speaking, a commotion arose in the surroundings. The topic of conversation instantly shifted from Ao Lingchen to the Blood Qi Test Pillar.    

"Finally, this moment has arrived. I'm coming for the second round."    

"Haha, I'll definitely make it into the top 100."    

The discussions were endless, and the excited voices were cheering loudly in the square.    

No matter how shocking Ao Lingchen's actions were, it was all his business. The Blood Qi Test Pillar in front of him was related to the advancement of these people to the next round. Compared to this matter, the things related to the former didn't seem to be a big deal.    

Many people had entered the Land of Trials to fight for this moment. They wanted to obtain rewards and become famous.    

Some of them were cheering, some were disdainful. Some of the people in the Five Major Forces were disdaining the cheers around them.    

At the beginning of the first round, most of them could guess who had made it into the top 100. It was none other than the true disciples and core disciples of the major powers. In the entire Desolate Domain, their strength was considered to be the pride of the heavens. There were simply too few people who could compete with them.    

The true disciples and core disciples of the Five Major Forces alone had almost occupied the top one hundred spots, let alone the geniuses sent by the other major powers.    

Therefore, although the Five Sects Competition had a lot of people participating in the competition, it was actually a competition between the true disciples and the core disciples of the major powers.    

Of course, there was no absolute rule in this world. Every year, a dark horse would appear in the Five Sects Competition. For example, this time, Ao Lingchen was a dark horse that had risen to power, and a super dark horse at that. A dark horse that had put the entire Stellar Sect on the brink of going berserk.    

The crowd was in an uproar, but it seemed like they were all discussing amongst themselves. No one chose to take the test.    

"You from the Stellar Sect, come here and take the test as soon as possible."    

Mo Qi said coldly. His irascible eyes were filled with impatience, "The test column has an hour of time. It will not be available when it is out of date."    

He had already been suppressing his emotions. Now, there wasn't even a single person who responded to his words. How could he tolerate this?    

"Yes!"    

Mo Qi spoke furiously. Many disciples of the Stellar Sect stepped forward and walked towards the test pillar. They had also held back some of their energy regarding Ao Lingchen's matter.    

"I'll go first." A young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes jumped out from the crowd and landed in front of the transparent testing pillar.    

Looking at the figure leaping out from the crowd, the people of Stellar Sect stopped in their tracks.    

This man had a great reputation in Stellar Sect. Although he couldn't be compared to Wang Chongtian and Chu Haiyu, his strength wasn't any weaker than Mo Haihua.    

His name was Zhou Yong, one of the true disciples of Stellar Sect. His strength was on par with Mo Haihua's. He had even competed with Wang Chongfei for the third place. Although he failed in the end, it also proved his strength.    

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Yong would become the strongest disciple of the Stellar Sect.    

The moment he stood out, the people of the Stellar Sect were filled with excitement and anticipation.    

Zhou Yong looked at the test pillar with an indifferent expression. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "The blood Qi test. I would like to see what kind of peak blood Qi those fellows who died in my hands can reach."    

Zhou Yong was full of confidence in his own strength.    

Looking at the pillar of light in front of him with nine grids, Zhou Yong took a deep breath. He raised his right hand lightly and pressed it on the pillar.    

The moment his palm touched the pillar of light, the transparent pillar of light suddenly changed, and a red tide rose from the lowest point.    

The red tide in the pillar of light was like someone pouring red water into it as it rapidly rose. Very quickly, it broke through one column, two bars, three bars. In a few short seconds, the red light was like water, rising from the bottom and quickly breaking through the seventh grid. There were signs of him charging towards the eighth block.    

"Charge up, charge up!"    

Zhou Yong and the people of Stellar Sect shouted in their hearts as they looked at the test pillar that was emitting a blood-red light in front of them.    

However, the result seemed to have disappointed them. The blood-red light finally stopped at the end of the seventh space, which was still a little bit away from the eighth space.    

"Seven grids, not bad."    

Looking at the pillar of bloody light, Mo Qi's gloomy face slightly faded.    

Seven grids of blood Qi meant that Zhou Yong's body contained vigorous blood Qi. He would either die at his hands or at the hands of the people he killed. There were at least two hundred of them. With this qi and blood, it wouldn't be a problem for them to enter the top one hundred.    

If his son did not die, perhaps he would be able to break through eight grids.    

Thinking of this, Mo Qi's facial expression turned even gloomier. He glanced at Ao Lingchen who wasn't far away, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.    

"The rest of you, follow me." Mo Qi said with a dark face.    

As if they could feel Elder Mo's mania, the people from the Stellar Sect stepped forward to take the test, afraid that they would make him unhappy.    

However, the results of the later tests of the Stellar Sect didn't attract too much attention. Besides Zhou Yong, there was only one other person who managed to pass the seven tests. The number of people who had reached five or six grids was also very few. There were only a few who had reached five or six grids. Most of the results were around the third rank.    

Looking at this result, the faces of all the elders from the Stellar Sect turned gloomy.    

"Alright, the next batch of people."    

Mo Qi stared coldly at Ao Lingchen and spoke.    

Looking at Mo Qi's sharp eyes, Elder Nangong chuckled and said, "Alright, let's go to the Essence Sword Sect."
