Chapter 1279 – Gambling Match Between Two Races
“All of you shouldn’t get too ahead of yourselves. There are only ten spots, and there is another restriction. One’s age cannot be over two hundred!” The Spiritual Race Ancient God Elder once more emphasized that there were only ten spots and also revealed another limit.
These words made the many Spiritual Race disciples down below either shake their heads or become indignant.
To True God experts, centuries could go by in the blink of an eye. Many of the Rank Four True Gods present had long ago passed two hundred years of age.
There was no limit to cultivation in this gambling match, but a limitation of age! The majority of the crowd had not expected this.
“I’m too old!” The Rank Seven Ancient God who had achieved first place, Ancient God True Sea, gave a helpless laugh.
Among all the Ancient Gods, he was probably the very oldest. Although he had managed to get first place in the contest for the Spiritual Race, he had no luck when it came to this gambling match.
“I didn’t think that there would be a restriction like this.” When Ancient God Ice Origin heard of this restriction, his eyes shone with even brighter light.
He just so happened to be one hundred and ninety years old. Moreover, many of the older generation of Ancient Gods were no match for him. In addition, based on what he knew, he was the only Ancient God of the Spiritual Race whose age did not exceed two hundred.
It seems like the ten people on the other side of this gambling match will all be defeated by me!
Ancient God Ice Origin coldly chuckled to himself. This gambling match would be his personal stage.
The younger disciples present breathed a slight sigh of relief. The age limit of two hundred years immediately ruled out many of the best experts while leaving the rest of them a sliver of hope.
But at this moment, the clouds overhead roiled and a timeworn voice spoke; “This old man was observing the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest just now and has already determined five spots.”
As the voice spoke, a massive illusion of an old man condensed in the sky.
Everyone immediately looked up at this image. A minority of core disciples and the Ancient God Elders were the only ones to recognize this figure as the Fifth Elder of the Spiritual Race.
His words immediately had the crowd in an uproar. It turned out that the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had been observing the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest and had already selected some candidates. Five of the spots had already been filled, leaving only five spots for the rest of them.
“Ancient God Ice Origin, True God Long Yuan, Zhao Feng, Zhang Yutong, Bao Yuan; these five people can directly participate in the gambling match between the two races. Do any of you object?” The Elder’s face exuded boundless majesty.
“No!” Those people who had been selected naturally would not reject such an excellent opportunity.
“Anyone can compete for the remaining five spots!” the Spiritual Race Fifth Elder continued.
“Elder, I will go back and prepare for the gambling match,” Ancient God Ice Origin proudly said.
His words immediately garnered the attention of the crowd.
“It seems like Ancient God Ice Origin is the only Ancient God less than two hundred years old!”
“The strongest person in this gambling match will probably him. He is certain to bring great glory to the Spiritual Race!”
The Spiritual Race disciples couldn’t hide their admiration and envy as they looked at Ancient God Ice Origin.
“You may go. If there is anything that you do not understand, seek guidance from a Spiritual Race Elder,” the Elder in the sky amiably said.
Of the Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race, only Ancient God Ice Origin had the right to take part in the gambling match. Ancient God Ice Origin’s strength was also top-class. The Spiritual Race had high hopes in him.
Zhao Feng and the other three chosen soon left as well. After all, they were also taking part in the gambling match. Their opponents would be the ten strongest people the Blazing Gold Race could send.
There were still two months until the gambling match. They all wanted to increase their strength a little so that they could put on a better performance.
“Brother Feng!” Zhao Yufei caught up to Zhao Feng so that they could leave together.
Although the gambling match had an age restriction, it had no cultivation restriction. The five remaining spots would probably be mostly taken by Rank Six True Gods. On the other hand, Zhao Yufei had only just reached the level of Rank Five Quasi-God, so she naturally had no hope of getting a spot.
Once these people were gone, the central plaza once more began to buzz with activity. With the contest for Pure Spirit Sacred Water over, it was now time to vie for the spots on the team that would take part in the gambling match between the two races.
The gambling match was set for two months later. If Zhao Feng spent this time in the Spacetime Robe Dimension, he would have five to six hundred days to cultivate.
Swish!
When he appeared in the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were both in the middle of cultivating.
By now, Zhao Wang had also reached the level of Rank Five Quasi-God. Zhao Feng sent Zhao Wang to the Ancient Dream Realm and arranged an area for him to break through.
A few days later, someone from the Spiritual Race delivered the Pure Spirit Sacred Water.
“This is the Pure Spirit Sacred Water?” Zhao Feng carefully examined the transparent glass bottle in his hand. A light blue liquid slowly flowed through the bottle.
Without another word, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.
Pure Spirit Sacred Water had the greatest effect when taken after a breakthrough, and it had been some time since he had become an Ancient God. But before he used it, he still needed to duplicate it.
One day later, the duplication finished, and Zhao Feng began to cultivate.
Gulp!
After taking the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, Zhao Feng immediately felt an icy liquid surging through his blood and spreading through his body. In the end, this clear stream of energy gathered at his Divine Stages.
Twenty days later, the energy around Zhao Feng’s body slowly began to recede. At this moment, not even Ancient Gods of the same level would be able to perceive Zhao Feng’s true cultivation level. This was proof that Zhao Feng’s Divine Stages had been completely stabilized and their energy perfectly fused. Zhao Feng now had complete control over this power.
“The effects are amazing!”
The effects of the Pure Spirit Sacred Water far surpassed Zhao Feng’s expectations.
He also discovered that his body was covered in a layer of dark red filth.
“This should be the impurities the Pure Spirit Sacred Water expelled from my blood while purifying the divine body.” A pensive look appeared on Zhao Feng’s face.
Normally, after reaching the True God level, the divine body wouldn’t have this many impurities.
And yet, Zhao Feng had expelled so much. The problem was clearly with his bloodline.
“It seems like I wasn’t being careful enough while strengthening my bloodline.” Zhao Feng suddenly understood.
His bloodline had originally been extremely low-level, but now it was within the top thousand of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This was a massive discrepancy. In this process, his blood had many impurities that were not able to be refined, and they were now expelled.
“With these impurities expelled, my bloodline should rapidly get stronger!” Zhao Feng was elated.
He had experienced the effects of the Pure Spirit Sacred Water. With his duplication ability, he was completely capable of mass producing it. Of course, he couldn’t let this matter get out.
After finishing with the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm.
At this time, Zhao Wang was in the middle of breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm. He had just finished condensing his first Divine Stage. Now that Zhao Feng’s control over the Ancient Dream Realm had increased so much, there were no phenomena to be seen in the outside world.
After getting some more blood from the Blood Flame Qilin Race, Zhao Feng left.
In the Spacetime Robe’s dimension, Zhao Feng activated his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline and continued to refine his bloodline.
“With the impurities expelled, the effects of refining are even better!” Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.
After two months, Zhao Feng’s Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline had squeezed into the top five hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This was an astonishing pace that left Zhao Feng pleasantly surprised.
Afterward, Zhao Feng began to comprehend various Intents as well as learn another spatial secret skill: Spatial Shift.
Spatial Shift shared the same nature as Instant Movement, but Spatial Shift placed even more emphasis on distance, maximizing the distance one could travel. One Instant Movement could cover several hundred thousand li, but a Spatial Shift could cover one million li at the minimum – the equivalent of one teleportation array in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.
Spatial Shift had very high requirements. One had to have at least Level Six Space Intent.
Zhao Feng currently had Level Five Space Intent, but that was boosted to Level Six with the help of the Spacetime Robe. This was enough to meet the standards of Spatial Shift.
At this moment, Zhao Feng could only grasp the essentials of Spatial Shift, which he imitated and conjectured on in his mind.
Zhao Feng spent more than five hundred days in the Spacetime Robe before finally leaving.
At this time, the only people present in the central plaza were several powerful Spiritual Race Elders and the young disciples taking part in the gambling match.
“Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder!” Zhao Feng was astonished.
The Spiritual Race was sending these two powerful experts to lead the group. It appeared that he had underestimated the importance of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein to the Spiritual Race.
Zhao Feng then began to observe the other members of the gambling match team. The people who were selected first had clearly become much stronger.
“Hurry up!” Ancient God Ice Origin glared at Zhao Feng, his brow creased in displeasure.
As the youngest Ancient God genius of the Spiritual Race, he was the ace for this gambling match. In addition, Ancient God Ice Origin felt some envy and hostility toward Zhao Feng, who had directly attained Rank Six.
This was not merely because Zhao Feng had shown terrifying potential through this feat, but also because Zhao Yufei, whom Ice Origin had been so arduously pursuing, had thrown herself into Zhao Feng’s chest.
Zhao Feng ignored him and joined the crowd. A few moments later, everyone had arrived.
“Elder, we can leave now!” Ancient God Ice Origin walked to the front of the group, acting like he was the captain of the squad.
“Mm!” The Spiritual Race Fourth Elder nodded.
Swish!
A moment later, a magnificent blue and white warship appeared in the sky. The group immediately boarded the ship and set off.
Thwish!
The blue and white warship activated a defensive barrier before transforming into a streak of light.
“This gambling match is extremely important. All of you must do your very best!” the Fourth Elder reminded everyone.
The Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein itself was extremely valuable, but the honor of both races was also on the line. This match would even influence the future situation between the two races. This vein was more useful to the Blazing Gold Race; if they got their hands on the vein, they could surpass the Spiritual Race within one thousand years.
The participants nodded their heads. In these two months, they had received personal training from the Elders of the Spiritual Race, and their divine artifacts had also been upgraded and improved at enormous expense.
“Now, I will inform you all of the rules to this gambling match….”
For this gambling match, each race would send ten people that would be sent out in rotation. When all ten people of one side had been defeated, the battle would be over, and the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein would be divided based on the number of victories.
“After each battle, you can choose to continue fighting or rest. Of course, I advise all of you to not continue fighting, because once your condition is poor, you could suffer from a challenge by the Blazing Gold Race. You can refuse the first time, but on the second challenge, you must fight!” the Fourth Elder solemnly said.
“Elder, be at ease. Based on what I know, only Ancient God Gold Fury fulfills the requirements for this match on the Blazing Gold Race side, and he’s no match for me!” Ancient God Ice Origin gave a confident smile.
This gambling match was the moment for him to spread his reputation across the Ziling Zone. Ancient God Ice Origin was determined to win!
