Weapon Master Chapter 1698

Chapter 1698 - The Last Round
Inside and outside the celestial mirror, all of the cultivators were having different feelings. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. After the seventh round of competition, there were only three hundred or so prodigies left. They all gradually gathered their thoughts, waiting patiently for the final round of competition to arrive.
"The work of the heavens!"
Suddenly, the spirit of the Celestial mirror's melodious voice rang again, "In the last round of the competition, it will be a test of the control abilities of the Dao fire. In a little while, a large amount of celestial spiritual energy will appear, and within that immortal spiritual energy, there will be a 'Diamond Immortal Stone' … "
"Diamond Immortal Stone?"
Hearing that, Tang Huan's heart was moved.
He naturally knew about this. Back then, during the Heavenly Imperial Palace's general election, they had once used the "Diamond Immortal Stone" to test the participants.
The "Diamond Immortal Stone" was extremely hard and sturdy, even a high grade Dao item would find it difficult to damage, but it was also extremely weak. If it was burned by the firepower, it would easily turn to dust. In the Heavenly Imperial elections, the test was to use firepower to drill holes into the "Diamond Immortal Stones".
In a moment of time, the spirit of the Celestial Mirror continued to speak into Tang Huan's ears, "... That celestial stone contains 96 celestial seals. You can ignite them with firepower, and the more celestial seals you ignite, the higher your rank will be. If the number of celestial seals is the same, the higher your rank will be.
"It's still 96!"
Hearing this number, Tang Huan could not help but laugh.
The artifact spirit really did like this number. Whether it was the first round's ninety-six "Immortal Path Essence", the second round's ninety-six incomplete dao diagrams, or the next five rounds of competition, they were all related to the "ninety-six". This last round was also the same.
Although the first seven rounds were the top of the Artifact Board, Tang Huan did not dare to take them lightly.
In this competition, the purpose of the first seven rounds was to eliminate the majority of the heaven's work. The final round was the key. In this round of competitions, if one was unable to enter the top 100, then even obtaining first place in the seventh round of competitions would be useless.
The first of the final round was the true first of the Artifact Ranking of the "Myriad Domain Dao Arts" auction!
Tang Huan felt that this round would be extremely difficult.
First was the celestial spiritual energy. In every round of the competition, there would be various ways for celestial spiritual energy to appear within the bubbles. The final round would probably not be an exception. In this round of competition, with the existence of celestial spiritual energy, it was estimated that it would be extremely effective in interfering with the heaven's work.

Secondly, there was that Diamond Immortal Stone.
With the special characteristics of the Diamond Immortal Stone, it did not have much resistance to all kinds of firepower. Any move based on firepower could turn it into a pile of powder. Other than that, from what Tang Huan knew, the bigger the Diamond Immortal Stone was, the weaker it would be when facing fire.
In the elections for the Heavenly Imperial Palace in the past, the Diamond Immortal Stone that Tang Huan had come in contact with was only the size of a baby's fist. The Diamond Immortal Stone that appeared in the competition this time around might be even bigger.
In the end, it was naturally the Immortal Seal mentioned by the Celestial Mirror's spirit. Regardless of whether they were searching for and igniting an immortal seal, it wouldn't be that simple.
Celestial spiritual energy, Diamond Immortal Stones, Immortal Seal … If he mixed these three notes together, it would be difficult for him to achieve good results. Fortunately, in this final round of competition, no matter how poor his performance was, he would not be eliminated, but would only result in a lower ranking.
However, between the top 100 and the bottom 100, the number of slots to enter the 'Taishi Immortal Domain' was completely different.
It was likely that quite a number of Sky Worm's within the bubble had similar thoughts. Their expressions quietly became much more solemn as if they were about to face a great enemy.
"Hu!"
Just at that moment, the spiritual energy of the Immortal Heaven was separated from the bubble. First, it turned into a dense white mist, then it condensed into a huge white cocoon. Inside the bubble, numerous figures of Tian Gong were tightly wrapped in giant cocoons. From afar, they looked blurry and indistinct.
"The final round of the competition for the Ten Thousand Domain Dao Arts, the time limit is two hours. Is everyone prepared?"
"Begin!"
When the spirit of the Celestial Mirror announced the start of the competition, the 300 + people's attention were completely focused on the celestial spiritual energy around them.
From the time limit, it could be seen that this round of competition was extremely difficult.
With just a slight movement of his thought, Tang Huan dispelled the distracting thoughts and carefully probed with rapt attention. Now, the immortal sky's spiritual energy had completely solidified. Not only was it invisible to the eyes, even his hands were unable to touch it. To find it within the completely condensed celestial spiritual energy, he could only rely on the heaven's.
With this situation, it was just as Tang Huan had expected. The immortal sky spirit energy had caused a great disturbance to the competition.

For the Diamond Immortal Stone and immortal spiritual energy to appear in such a manner, the two must have become one. However, this was not difficult for Tang Huan. Although the two of them seemed to be one, they were still not truly the same. With Tang Huan's powerful Perception Ability, after careful observation, she was still able to discern the subtle differences between the two.
After a while, Tang Huan sensed the Diamond Immortal Stone. It was indeed as Tang Huan had guessed, the Diamond Immortal Stone was very big. However, it was still big enough that it exceeded Tang Huan's expectations. In this regard, the Diamond Immortal Stones that Tang Huan had come in contact with back then could not be compared at all.
The Diamond Immortal Stone hidden within the immortal spiritual energy was actually as big as a dustpan, around half a meter wide.
Such a large Diamond Immortal Stone would be incomparably weak in the face of fire, and if one wanted to ignite the immortal seals it contained, he would have to direct all his fire into it.
As a result, a poor control could cause the Diamond Immortal Stone to explode. If that truly happened, then his own competition would end. As for his results, there was no need to think about it anymore. He would definitely be at the bottom of the three hundred or so days of work.
From this, it could be seen that in order to ignite the Immortal Seal, one had to have extremely strong control over the Dao of Fire.
However, before igniting them, he had to find them. For the participants of the tournament, this was yet another difficult problem. It was already extremely difficult to find the Diamond Immortal Stones within the solidified immortal spiritual energy, and naturally, it was even more difficult to find the immortal seals within the Diamond Immortal Stones.
From this, it could be seen that the last round of the competition had once again returned to the Perception Ability.
The Perception Ability was too poor, the imprints he found were few and far between, his results naturally wouldn't be any better, and the powerful Tian Gong of the Perception Ability was able to pull the gap between him and her opponent in this round of competitions.
In these two hours, other than the ability to control the Dao flame and the Perception Ability, he might need to use it in other areas as well. In the final round of the competition, what it tested was the control of the Dao flame, but in reality, what it tested was the comprehensive ability of the heavens.
A certain aspect of his ability was very outstanding and did not have much use. Only a heaven's work with strong comprehensive abilities could achieve good results.
