Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 569 - 562: The Battle for Promotion

Two disciples from the same academy are competing for first place in the finals.

To be honest, this situation is almost impossible to occur in the Daoist Skill Academy's grand competition, yet it appeared in these individual fighting finals.

"Xi Yue, I know your family needs an Immortal Emperor nomination, so I'll give you this first place," Ji Xing said sincerely.

Long Xiyue shook her head, "Senior Brother Ji, I'm not your match. Besides, if I take first place, it won't be good.

You can give it to me, but I can't take it myself. You know the situation with my Long family; I was even expelled from the family before."

Ji Xing immediately understood that the Long Immortal Clan was just as snobbish; otherwise, they wouldn't have expelled Long Xiyue.

If he gave this nomination to Long Xiyue, the Long Immortal Clan would be very grateful to both her and him.

If Long Xiyue brought it back herself, the Long Immortal Clan would think it was rightful. Although there would be rewards and gratitude, they would not be as significant as if it came from an outsider.

"Alright," Ji Xing agreed.

The most exciting final fight ended in insignificance.

The second place conceded, and Ji Xing from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy won first place in the individual fighting competition.

The Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy obtained many promotions, and as soon as the rewards were distributed, the academy's competition class rest area was crowded.

The headmaster Yuan You led a group to this place.

In the corridor of the Great Dao, Immortal Venerable and Immortal King promotion nominations are not very precious.

As long as there are treasures and Immortal Crystals, one can basically exchange for them.

But the Immortal Emperor nomination is incredibly scarce, truly one radish, one pit.

Each promotion nomination is basically pre-allocated.

The sudden emergence of the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy took four Immortal Emperor promotion nominations.

This disrupted the plans of other academies vying for the Immortal Emperor nominations. Now, if they wanted to obtain them, they could only ask the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

At the same time, the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's competition class became legendary.

Eight people signed up for five projects, winning four first places.

Not only that, but each of them had the halo of first place.

"Your performance this time was excellent. As the headmaster of the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, it's my honor to have you as students, and also the academy's honor..."

Yuan You began his speech, and no one interrupted him.

Everyone knew his purpose.

"Hand over your promotion Dao Rhythm Spheres to me first. When you return to the academy, the academy will organize a distribution plan. The academy won't treat you unfairly and will give you substantial rewards."

The scene went silent.

For an academy like the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, achieving a second place would already be extraordinary.

In most cases, the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy would achieve the top ten in some specific classes.

The overall top ten also received rewards and points.

Ji Xing stepped forward again, "Headmaster, according to the Great Dao Corridor's Ten Thousand Laws, the rankings we obtained by bypassing the academy and participating in the competition are decided by us and the Daoist.

We all wish for Daoist Ding to come back and allocate these Dao Rhythm Spheres for us. If the headmaster finds this inappropriate, you may expel us from the academy."

They were about to become Da Yi Immortals; being expelled would not affect them at all.

Yuan You's face turned ugly; he didn't dare to speak against the Ten Thousand Laws in front of so many people.

The Ten Thousand Laws held supreme status in the Great Dao Corridor.

But a few small cultivator students wanted to vie with the academy for promotion nominations—truly audacious.

His gaze toward Ji Xing was now like looking at a dead man.

Did Ji Xing think the Ten Thousand Laws' rules meant he couldn't kill a mere Da Yi Immortal?

...

Located in the extremely cold place, Ding Huan was completely shrouded in a mist of Divine Spirit Qi, and the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe was expanding wildly.

With the Divine Spirit Qi's support, his Immortal Essence kept accumulating, and his aura grew increasingly intense.

"Boom!" Another shackle was effortlessly torn apart, and Ding Huan stepped into the twelfth level of Immortal King.

Ji Luo could hardly contain his excitement; controlling the Heaven and Earth Scale, he swiftly moved away from Ding Huan's vicinity.

Given Ding Huan's current pace, he would face the Immortal Venerable's tribulation in at most half a month.

Even though he possessed the Heaven and Earth Scale, Ji Luo still chose to distance himself from such a perilous tribulation.

Not even half a month, only ten days later.

The Thunder Tribulation Arcs struck down with a roar, and simultaneously, Ding Huan triggered the Dao Rhythm Sphere for promoting to Immortal Venerable.

Watching the grey-black arcs from a distance, Ji Luo hastily controlled the Heaven and Earth Scale to move even further away.

In what was undoubtedly the most terrifying Deathly Tribulation, he felt for the first time the presence of death within the Thunder Tribulation Arcs.

Yet, seeing Ding Huan battling the tribulation, Ji Luo could only be speechless with admiration at Ding Huan's audacity.

Ding Huan not only refrained from using any Magical Treasure but also punched at the Thunder Tribulation Arcs with his bare hands.

This only intensified the lethal Deathly Tribulation.

Strangely, the Thunder Tribulation Arcs could not inflict fatal injuries on Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's Body Refining Techniques were extraordinary. Unfortunately, the three thousand Great Dao didn't include top-tier Body Refining Techniques, or they had long been taken by others.

Once his body recovers, he should ask Ding Huan for a copy of his Body Refining Techniques for his cultivation.

After three waves of Thunder Tribulation passed, Ding Huan's aura grew even stronger, and his physical body continued to strengthen under the tempering of the Thunder Tribulation.

Ding Huan's fearsome tribulation would naturally be sensed first by Zuo Shanyi.

Zuo Shanyi had just reached the third level of Immortal Venerable.

Is someone advancing to Immortal Emperor?

Zuo Shanyi stopped cultivating, scanning with his Divine Will, and quickly determined it wasn't an advancement to Immortal Emperor, but to Immortal Venerable.

How could this Immortal Venerable Thunder Tribulation be no weaker than his?

Scratch that, it was stronger than his—who was it?

Zuo Shanyi immediately rushed towards Ding Huan's direction.

He could clearly perceive the Dao Rhythm Sphere for Immortal Venerable promotion in the Great Dao Corridor.

According to the Ten Thousand Laws of the Great Dao Corridor, no one was allowed to interfere with the promotion of a cultivator with a Dao Rhythm Sphere. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy.

Nobody dared to violate this rule, but Zuo Shanyi viewed it as nothing but air.

Without even considering, he decided to approach the tribulation openly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another wave of violent Thunder Tribulation Arcs fell. Sensing Ding Huan's rapidly escalating aura, Zuo Shanyi instinctively paused, opting to conceal himself as he approached.

He knew that the opponent had already broken through to Immortal Venerable, becoming a powerful Immortal Venerable.

Ding Huan was aware that someone was approaching—a top-tier expert, much stronger than himself.

Facing them alone would likely lead to his death if he didn't flee.

Sure enough, as Ding Huan stabilized his cultivation and prepared for the next wave of Thunder Tribulation Arcs, a cold voice resonated through the air, "You must be Ding Huan?"

Ding Huan didn't respond, instead focusing on absorbing more Immortal Spiritual Energy to further stabilize his cultivation.

Even if he had to flee, he would ensure this opponent broke a few bones first.

"So it is you. I didn't expect you to hide so well—to conceal your presence to the Luo Tian Immortal level while still being an Immortal King." A giant Immortal Yuan Handprint reached out for Ding Huan.

The intruder was Jie Kuangren, who only recently guessed that Ding Huan might be undergoing tribulation.

Why else would Ding Huan's disciples have given him promotion Dao Rhythm Spheres?

As the Great Dao Corridor Supervisor, Jie Kuangren had the Array Flag of the Great Dao Corridor Protecting Array.

The core of the Great Dao Corridor Protecting Array was the Heavenly Dao Qiankun Shield. With the Array Flag, he could clearly sense whenever anyone was undergoing tribulation.

In the past few months, he had witnessed numerous cultivators undergoing tribulations.

Today, he finally caught one.

Is this an Immortal Emperor?

Ding Huan summoned the Reincarnation Spear, thrusting it forward aggressively.

Simultaneously, the Starry Sky Domain engulfed Jie Kuangren.

Not holding back at all, the Reincarnation Spear unleashed a murderous Dao Rhythm that seemed to tear apart the void.

Bang! Crack!

Ding Huan felt a heavy hammer strike his chest, spewing a Blood Arrow before being flung backward.

Jie Kuangren charged again, summoning his Magical Treasure, the Slaughter Demon Sword.

Ding Huan was merely a newly advanced Immortal Venerable, but that spear thrust had almost injured him.

If left unchecked, what would happen when Ding Huan fully matured?

Ding Huan was shocked.

He had never seen such a fearsome Immortal Emperor.

If he were still an Immortal King, he would stand no chance against this man.

This guy might not be an Immortal Emperor but could be just a step away from it.

Thunder rumbled as the final wave of Thunder Tribulation Arcs descended.

With Jie Kuangren's involvement, the Thunder Tribulation Arcs intensified many times over.

With the blessing of the Nirvana Technique and his resilient flesh, Ding Huan ignored the falling Thunder Tribulation Arcs.

The killing intent of the Reincarnation Spear surged, devouring the space with its Dao Rhythm.

The spear technique: Thousand Piles of Snow.

In this icy land, the power of the Thousand Piles of Snow technique was exponentially amplified by the Reincarnation Spear.

Giant ice peaks were swept into the air by the spear, the void erupting with deafening roars akin to a tempest of stones.

Each peak shattered, producing bursts of illusory spear intent.

Jie Kuangren's Slaughter Demon Sword conjured phantom Sword Mountains, which clashed violently with Ding Huan's ice peaks.

Like fierce waves crashing against the shore!

Dao Rhythms exploded.

The void was torn into thin cracks, scattering the ice peaks.

With each shattered ice peak, the Sword Mountain's residual power left blood gashes on Ding Huan.

Powerful Immortal Essence backlash forced Ding Huan to spew more Blood Arrows.

Crack!

Jie Kuangren's spine was struck by a Thunder Tribulation Arc, fracturing instantly.

Despite his strong Daoist skills, his body couldn't withstand the Thunder Tribulation Arc as well as Ding Huan's. Under such intense Heavenly Tribulation, he too was severely wounded.

Jie Kuangren was shocked. He hadn't been concerned initially, considering Immortal Venerable Tribulation akin to child's play.

But this wasn't an ordinary Immortal Venerable Tribulation.

Still, he couldn't afford to worry about his injury. He needed to take down Ding Huan while he still could, the killing intent of his Slaughter Demon Sword intensifying.

At this moment, he sensed a deathly presence from his side.

Someone was ambushing him at the perfect moment.

As he attacked Ding Huan despite his own injuries, he couldn't retract his Slaughter Demon Sword in time.

Jie Kuangren could only punch out, spotting another spear, entirely black, brimming with a rampant killing aura.
