Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533 The Rules

Wang Wei felt that he had forgotten something, and right when he was about to try to remember, a bright light appeared in front of the room, and an odd woman wearing a mask appeared.

She had the same mask as Lord Spirit, half smiling naively and the other full of cunningness. Unlike Lord Spirit, this woman had a lower body but appeared slightly transparent, like a phantom.

She opened her mouth to speak, and a deep male voice came out: "Welcome, fellow Heaven Chosens from the Endless Void."

No one cared about the anomaly between her voice and visage; the cultivating world was full of weird and strange things.

"To make things easier for everyone, you can call me Lord Spirit, and I will be in charge of the trial. Now, before you can enjoy your dinner, I will tell you the rules of this inheritance.

"There are eight categories to be tested: fleshly body, soul, energy control, comprehension, Dao Heart, Willpower, battle prowess, and one final test that I can only say is vital."

Lord Spirit paused to give everybody time to process the information before continuing.

"Based on your result in each category, you will receive points that will determine your ranking. Be mindful that the last test is precious and worth plenty of points. It could be the determining factor of this inheritance trial.

"Any question?"

"Is it true the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Sutra is an Insurgent Scripture?" asked someone.

"That is correct. So, any lucky ones who go home with it will significantly contribute to your factions."

The aura of the room slightly changed as many people paid close attention.

"Senior Gu Xuan was from the Myriad Emperor World. He will not be biased?" asked another person, raising attention to Wang Wei's table.

"If that were a problem, the Lord would have just chosen his successor solely from Myriad Emperor World," replied Lord Spirit calmly. Many people agreed with these words, while some remained skeptical.

Nevertheless, Lord Spirit continued: "If there is no more question, let's continue to the main event."

She waved his hand, and six golden chairs appeared behind her, labeled one through six. Each stair stood slightly above the others, so the number one spot was the highest.

"For the combat aspect of this trial, things will be a little different. The Lord has chosen six seeded players who will receive a token. After the final test, the token can be exchanged for points. And you could guess that the higher the ranking, the more points it is worth."

Everyone looked at the trial spirit with fire in their eyes. As the peak geniuses of their respective world, competition has become an integral part of their characters. So, no matter what, they wanted to be the best.

"There are some rules to follow," continued Lord Spirit, not minding these people's intense emotions. "Non-seeded can challenge seeded players at all times and use whatever means necessary to take the token.

"Seeded players, however, can only challenge the person one rank above them. So, the sixth place can only challenge fifth place, fifth place to fourth place, and so on. Furthermore, the seeded challenger needed certain points before challenging another seeded player."

Everyone present is intelligent, so they understand the rules. Seeded Players could not easily challenge each other, and they needed to perform well on the eight trials before challenging each other. Meanwhile, the non-seeded players could attack the seeded players to get the token, with no restrictions on the method used.

'Essentially, a practice Heaven Will Battle with some rules and restrictions,' thought Wang Wei, and many people felt the same way.

"Now, let's begin the selection for the seeded players," said the Lord Spirit with a weird smile, fully playing in the deception persona.

"In the sixth place, we have Xu Shi from the Myriad Emperor World. Her Primordial Chaos Physique is the combination of 9 Absolute Chaos Physiques, and it is something that has never been heard of in the Endless Void."

Everyone looked at the Myriad Emperor World's table, focusing on that beautiful woman that Heaven seemed to have taken its time when creating her. Meanwhile, Xu Shi frowned after hearing she was only in sixth place. Nevertheless, she walked to the sixth throne and sat down.

Lord Spirit watched her with a smile while thinking to himself.

'It was hard to choose between her and Feng Heng. However, the latter seemed determined to hide his full strength, so he can only lose the spot.'

"The fifth spot goes to Mu Lei from the Star Beast World. The owner of the second Heavenly Physique, the Heavey Axe Physique, and a genius who has received the highest grade of Ancient Star Symbols in a hundred generations."

Mu Lei calmly walked to his spot, but many people also became nervous once they realized the criteria for these seeded players.

"The fourth spot goes to Ji Lanfang from the Immortal Ascencion World, the Supreme Swordsman with the very earned title of One Sword."
