Chapter 1140: You Lost Too

ilence followed.The Swallowing Heaven Clan experts each had their auras surge, wielding their treasures and ready to strike at any moment.The powerful spirits were unafraid, each summoning their magic...Fang Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Although he said it was alright, his face remained pale. He stared intently at the black lightning in the thunder pool, his expression grave. He thought to himself, "What kind of lightning is this Why does it possess demonic nature yet cannot be absorbed by the divine and demonic sword body"

At first glance, he thought it was a magic thunder, and was overjoyed, believing it to be another excellent opportunity for absorption.

But he never expected that when the Devil's Lightning entered his body, both the Sword God and the Sword Demon would produce a huge repulsion. Even his internal energy started to become chaotic, like it was about to go into demonic possession!

Even if he used the Demonic Scripture and Heavenly God Demon Heart Sutra, it would be difficult to suppress it. He had no choice but to leave the Thunder Pond immediately! If he had waited another step, his body would have exploded.

This was the first time he had encountered such magic since he began cultivating the Divine Demon Sword Dao, even ancient sword demons couldn't absorb it.

And the reactions of the Sword Demon and Sword God were extreme, not like they had encountered a nemesis, but rather something they deeply loathed.

He opened his Azure Heaven pupils, wanting to discern the slightest clue about the Black Thunder.

No matter how he looked, he couldn't see the slightest clue.

"Strange, too strange. But I must figure out what this bolt is, or else it will probably become my greatest nemesis in the future." he thought to himself.

Fang Xingkong didn't expect Fang Chen to suddenly leave, and was very surprised.

But then again, it's already quite remarkable that they managed to get this far. How can I even compare myself to them

This is the opponent's true strength. The second round was just a coincidence and nothing more.

When Gunmen and the others reacted, they were overjoyed! They never expected that Fang Chen would be eliminated in such a way.

But they wouldn't dare to mock Fang Chen again, fearing they would anger him completely.

Even if it's not sarcasm, they have other ways.

"Hehehe, I told you the second level was pure luck, didn't I This third level perfectly illustrates that."

"The master is first, without a doubt."

"The sect master is too strong, it's truly disheartening."

"Indeed, to be able to become the sect master is a blessing I've been granted in three lifetimes!"

They spoke with self-satisfaction.

But Fang Chen wouldn't pay attention to their strange and unpredictable behavior. He directly swallowed a small pill refined by Xiao Qing'er and began to recover.

Fang Chen was eliminated, but Fang Xingkong didn't give up. He waited until the limit was reached before slowly stepping out of the thunder pool.

He looked down on Fang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, with a haughty expression. He let out a cold snort and said, "Is that all you've got"

Fang Chen glanced at him and said faintly, "I concede defeat. I did indeed lose."

Fang Xingkong heard this, his arrogance grew even stronger: "Humph! Good to know, but now that you're begging for mercy, it's already too late."

"No no no."

Fang Chen shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not begging for mercy. I'm just telling you that I admit defeat, but you have to admit defeat too."

Fang Xing's brows furrowed: "What do you mean by that"

Fang Chen revealed a kind smile and pointed to the golden egg that was still rolling in the thunder pool.

Even as it transformed into a black bolt of lightning, the golden egg remained unafraid. It was so comfortable absorbing the energy that it fell asleep directly.

That's right! He fell asleep in the Thunder Pool, a place even some of the most talented prodigies couldn't withstand.

Fang Xing's mouth twitched. He had actually forgotten this beast.

Fang Chen smiled and said, "You won me, but you lost to the spirit beast. You're not the first."

Fāng Jīnchéng angrily retorted, "That's a spirit beast! Doesn't count!"

"Really"

"Fang Chen said calmly, "But the golden egg is also truly enduring the thunderous wrath of heaven. Of course, it wouldn't receive any rewards, but there's no doubt that it's first place. Right, Golden Egg"

This last cry was directed at the golden egg in the Thunder Pond.

Abba mumbled "Uh-huh" and fell back asleep.

"This"

Fang Jincheng didn't know what to say.

Okay, okay.

Just as he was about to speak, Fang Chen interrupted him.

"Just kidding, you're still the best. You don't need to admit defeat to Golden Egg, there's no need for that," he said.

Fang Xingkong's face was grim. He naturally knew there was no need for this, but he also understood that he had indeed lost.

As the supreme genius, his Dao heart would not allow him to accept this fact.

So even though he won first place, Fang Chen's few words made his triumph feel insignificant. At the same time, he set his sights on the golden egg in the thunder pool.

After a moment, when everyone had recovered somewhat, Lao Jia's voice came again.

"The third round is over, now those who didn't pass are eliminated."

The next moment, hundreds of beams of light descended from the sky, falling on those prodigies who had not even lasted three breaths. They were teleported away.

"Next are the rewards for the top three. This time, the rewards are: for Grandmaster realm: Opening the Acupoints, and for Spirit Sea realm: Awakening Divine Scripts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd gasped in amazement and envy filled their faces.

As for the awakening of the divine script, that's a realm they are not yet able to touch.

But they know this importance deeply. That's why Fang Xingkong has not entered the Linghai Realm Because he hasn't completely opened his acupoints yet.

Although one can enter the Linghai Realm even without fully merging their acupoints, there is a significant difference between those who have fully merged and those who haven't. This difference also affects the path taken after achieving the Linghai Realm.

Opening the mind is easy, but closing it is difficult. Even prodigies find this to be true.

Without the help of resources, they would never be able to unify all the Dao in their lifetime by relying on their own understanding.

But the resources of the human realm's interconnected pathways are limited. Even the He Yuan Clan, with their potential to merge into a single being, is facing extinction. It is truly a rare and precious thing.

And this reward is hē xiào. How could they not envy and covet it Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the next moment, stars from across the heavens descended, entering the bodies of Fang Xingkong, Fang Chen, and Huo Xiaor.

Fang Chen sat cross-legged, feeling a pure energy entering his body.

When he sensed it slightly, he was startled and his face showed surprise.

And not only him, but Fang Xingkong is the same.

To their astonishment, they realized that the so-called reward wasn't some mysterious power! It was energy transformed from the very familiar essence blood of the Heiyuan clan.

This made the two of them feel pity for the He Yuan Clan. It seemed that this clan had been massacred and exploited by others for a long time. They felt it was unfair that they hadn't received the "Most Tragic Clan on the Heavenly Continent" award. They couldn't stand it anymore.

Although he thought this way, the two of them absorbed energy without any mercy.

At the moment of absorption, Fang Chen's heart was slightly shocked! Because this pure energy actually belonged to a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Sea realm!

This single surge alone is comparable to all the Blood Essence of the Hèyuán Clan he absorbed before!

Fang Chen's Dao Apertures were also merging at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just thirty breaths of time, the energy was completely absorbed, and Fang Chen's Dao Apertures changed from twelve to nine! A full three Dao Apertures had merged together.

If others knew, they would surely be astonished!

It's not that he didn't integrate well, but rather that he integrated too little. An ordinary person with just that amount of energy could have integrated at least ten times more, but in his case, it was only three. more to be seen by continuing to look. So he bowed to Qi Jie and bid farewell, then turned to Xiao Qing'er and said: "Xiao Qing'er Daoist friend, I also need to go down to rest, goodbye."Xiaohua saw...
