Chapter 1950: Understanding the Dao and its Principles

"Zhu Wu Ji is walking on the Path of Violent Soundwaves. He understands thunderous soundwaves strength, he can shout and kill people. The Great Imperial Bell emits an explosive strength. The last fifty people on the Imperial Ranking List can't ask for their Path," the watchers told one another. They understood the rules of the event. Some people were going to progress on their Path, some others not.

At that moment, Lin Feng was shaking violently. His muscles twitched. He had the impression he was going to die. The weaker people would be eliminated immediately!

Someone exploded, blood gushed out and he fell from the top of the pillar.

"Argh, argh, argh…" People roared furiously with pain. Many people were hurled away, they couldn't stand the Dao power. Hou Qing Lin released Reincarnation Dao to surround his body. The Dao power couldn't pierce through.

Dugu the Winner was surrounded by lights. Thunder rang out, and Dao power bombarded his imprints, but couldn't pierce through.

Lang Ye was surrounded by world lights. He was in another world, the attack didn't affect him.

Jian Mang was surrounded by light swords, the Dao power couldn't affect him either.

The strong cultivators at the top of the Celestial Imperial Pillars resisted the Dao power. The weakest ones were struck relentlessly, injured or killed.

At that moment, Zhu Wu Ji shouted furiously. He kept attacking the bell, which kept counterattacking. Zhu Wu Ji was suddenly hurled backwards, coughing up blood. He landed back on his pillar. He sat down cross-legged, injured and trying to recover.

The terrifying Dao power disappeared.

Silhouettes rose up in the air. The pillars of those who had been smashed away were now free, they were too weak to resist against Dao power. Their fate had already been determined, they couldn't ask for their Path anymore. Of course, they could ask their counterparts from the ranking list for pieces of advice.

It was the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List. People could ask for their Path, understand Dao principles, and comprehend how to progress on the Path.

The strong cultivators of the Great Imperial Palace kept writing. People looked at the cultivators at the bottom of the list, who wouldn't be able to rise up in the list anymore unless they displayed extraordinary performances after the event.

That Great Imperial Bell is so strange. Its Dao power counterattacks are powerful, Zhu Wu Ji was even injured, thought Lin Feng. That bell was indeed a precious treasure.

"Who else wants to try and ask for their Path?" asked Ren Tian Xing. Someone new rose up in the air. It was Jin Xing Zi. People frowned. He was in the top ten, and controlled Destructive Gold Dao power. His Dao was terrifying. How many people would resist his Dao on the Celestial Imperial Pillars?

"Let's see how many people will resist, and how strange the Great Imperial Bell is?" Jin Xing Zi proclaimed. His robe fluttered violently as he turned into a dazzling golden figure.

The crowd stared at him. Some people sat down cross-legged again and released Qi. They were getting ready to resist Jin Xing Zi's golden Dao. Jin Xing Zi was extremely strong and had an explosive strength. If anyone was careless, they could die!

Jin Xing Zi was surrounded by golden armor. He walked to the bell, waving his hands. His Dao power emitted whistling sounds as he hammered the bell. A mysterious Dao power rolled out from the impact.

Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. His arm started turning into gold before he released Qi and broke it.

"Disperse!" Lin Feng released DevMara Kalpa strength to protect himself. He also used his physical strength.

Jin Xing Zi had turned into a statue of gold. He didn't look like a human being anymore. He attacked the bell three times and three times, golden light beams shot out. Explosion and rumbling sounds spread in the air. A strong cultivator turned into a golden statue and exploded, dead.

"Back!…" Some people knew they would die so they ran away and jumped off the pillar.

"Some people rise, some people die," said someone in a solemn and respectful way. However, that cultivator remained motionless and let the golden energy surround him. He was gambling with his life. He was there to progress on the Path.

The bell rang again. Jin Xing Zi's silhouette became distorted, like he could explode at any time. However, he looked determined and stood there steadily. His Qi rolled in waves furiously and dashed to the skies. Everyone was astonished. His Dao power had just broken through!

Jin Xing Zi was suffering though, and his figure was also distorted. It looked like he could explode too. The Dao power there was more violent then when it arrived at the pillars, and he was at the front of it.

He attacked the bell again. The bell counterattacked. Jin Xing Zi's golden armor broke, his arm crackled. It was getting very dangerous…

"That's enough!" shouted someone loudly. A dozen cultivators at the top of the pillars were suffering too much. Some people thought Jin Xing Zi was going insane. They wanted him to stop!

However, the explosive shout didn't prevent Jin Xing Zi from continuing. He continued as if he hadn't heard anything. His body kept crackling as he continued his insane attack. Someone else's body started crackling, and they died.

Jin Xing Zi raised his arm again. The crowd started suffocating. However, at that moment, he finally stopped. It was too dangerous, even for him.

"Today, I'm not here only to ask for my Path. I'm also hear to watch and learn from others," said Jin Xing Zi sighing. Many people took a deep breath with relief. However, thirty-two people had already been blown away and two had died. How cruel! Those people were strong cultivators from the Imperial Ranking List, all of them were talented, but they had died because of the Dao power. The cultivators who were in the top ten were terrifying. In a one-on-one battle, they could kill those at the bottom of the list in one strike.

At that moment, Lin Feng closed his eyes, Kalpa strength twinkled around him, and a golden Qi appeared. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He understood that today wasn't about fighting. It was about something that went beyond a simple fight.

A strong wind started blowing. Xie Yue landed in front of the bell and punched it violently. A terrifying evil energy rolled outs and corroded people's bodies, trying to rot them away.

After Jin Xing Zi's turn, it was difficult to resist him. Xie Yue's decaying Qi made them start rotting. A vile stench filled the air. Evil decaying Dao power was terrifying!

Ji Chang released Destructive Dao. All those cultivators' Dao couldn't affect him. He seemed indestructible.

Ying Cheng released chaotic Dao power, a vortex appeared around him and the decaying Dao strength disappeared into the vortex.

The stone cultivator seemed invincible too, Xue Shen Feng was surrounded by snowflakes, the Dao power kept freezing. Someone else drew people's attention: Chu Chun Qiu. He didn't do anything, he just absorbed the Dao power and made it flow throughout his body.

"The top ten are terrifying. The Dao power of the Great Imperial Bell doesn't affect them at all. Who would win in one-on-ones?" speculated the audience Very quickly, even more people were forced away from the pillars. After such a short time, only fifty people were left!

PMG Chapter 1951

Chapter 1951: Slaughtering

Xie Yue knocked the bell, and another dozen cultivators fell off the Celestial Imperial Pillars. The top fifty had already appeared!

"Lang Ye, Dugu the Winner, the blind guy, and the one who controls reincarnation strength are quite persistent and determined. They're going to end up in the top fifty-something!" the crowd was saying as they watched the fighters. Hou Qing Lin was a little bit higher than fiftieth since many people had already been eliminated.

At that moment, another silhouette jumped forwards. This cultivator controlled snow energy, and snowflakes appeared around him, the temperature falling rapidly. Xue Shen Feng walked over to the Great Imperial Bell and said coldly, "Great Imperial Bell, let me find my Path and become stronger!"

His sleeves fluttered in the wind as ice and frost energies bombarded the bell. The bell rang and a layer of ice appeared around it with the sound of ice cracking. A few silhouettes were immediately frozen.

Dong, dong, dong!

Xue Shen Feng attacked the bell three times in a row. The space around him kept freezing. Two more cultivators turned into ice statues, their hearts beating slower and slower.

"Back!" shouted one of the frozen people furiously. He jumped away, the layer of ice around him cracked and he left the pillar. He instantly felt better, as he had almost died!

Xue Shen Feng's face was covered with snow as his own Dao power kept bombarding him. He didn't stop, though. He jumped forwards again, and the bell kept ringing. Some strong cultivators continued to leave their pillars. The last fifty cultivators were already determined, they wouldn't be able to rise in the ranking list anymore. Some of them had even died and would never have an opportunity again.

Xue Shen Feng looked like an ice statue already. He could sense his own terrifying Dao power as he was being attacked by his own strength.

The Great Imperial Bell rang seven more times. There was a thick layer of snow Dao power on Xue Shen Feng's body, and the whole stage was frozen. The cracking of frozen air kept creaking out. Some of the cultivators of the top fifty also started freezing. Maybe their rank would change… of course, it meant that those who were lower in the ranking list would also have an opportunity to rise.

At the foot of the stage, the crowd was getting cold even as they were amazed. Xue Shen Feng was astonishingly strong. Because of him, more than sixty people's ranks were already fixed!

"Is he going to make the bell ring an eighth time?" The people looked at Xue Shen Feng, and were stunned as he slowly raised his arm and bombarded the Great Imperial Bell again.

Dao power bombarded Xue Shen Feng again, the pressure driving him backwards and down onto his butt. The ice energy turned into a destructive ice lake, covering the stage with ice. People descended from the Celestial Imperial Pillars one after another. The crowd realized that only thirty people were left on the pillars!

Lin Feng was still calmly seated on his pillar. His eyes were closed and he was surrounded by Death Dao intent and snow Dao power. He felt extremely cold too, but he started understanding what it meant to find one's Path!

The stage was frozen over, and the ice remained for a very long time. The members of the Great Imperial Palace didn't say anything and ignored the way it hindered the audience. After a while, the ice energies around Xue Shen Feng dispersed and he withdrew to his pillar.

Those on the pillars looked hesitant.

What would happen if those who were higher ranked than Xue Shen Feng bombarded the bell? Wouldn't it be even more terrifying? Those watching didn't even dare to imagine.

"If you don't ask for your Path, how can you master Dao strength?" murmured someone to themselves before jumping off a pillar. Finding one's own Path was extremely complicated. It was an incredible opportunity they had before them. There were many strong cultivators in the Imperial Ranking List, and now they had the opportunity to understand Dao strength even better, how could they miss that opportunity? It was dangerous, but it was also a great chance!

Those who were at the bottom of the Imperial Ranking List couldn't even ask for their Path. They could only watch and learn.

The stone man finally moved, landing in front of the bell. The crowd was startled, as Shi Yun Feng had turned into a stone man again. He looked strange and monstrous.

And then he punched the bell!

He punched the bell four times in a row! The ice hadn't completely dispersed, but when he punched the bell, it disappeared completely. The air was suddenly filled with stone energies. At the same time, many people started turning into stone statues, their arms starting to turn into stony matter. They couldn't move anymore!

Those people's faces turned deathly pale. The stone man punched the bell twice again. Some people turned into statues. His stone strength was terrifying!

The bell rang a seventh time, and the air seemed to groan and grind. Some stone statues immediately exploded as those people died. More people turned into stones and couldn't move. Some others managed to leave the pillars using their full strength.

Lin Feng had turned into a stone statue. He had the sensation his body was going to explode, but at the same time, his physical strength was astonishing. Nobody there could compete with him in terms of physical strength.

More destructive strength oppressed him, and he condensed more cosmic energies, his entire body starting to glow. He looked like an indestructible ancient god. When he started bleeding, he controlled life and death Dao power. He couldn't block the stone strength directly, he had to use his pure physical strength to block it. Yet at the same time, he could still study it!

"There are still so many people. How annoying!" Guili looked at the crowd with his pale white eyes. After Shi Yun Feng withdrew, Guili left his pillar floating in the air like a ghost. His eyes looked terrifying as two light beams emerged from them and stuck the bell. The space around him turned into Hell. Many ghosts appeared in people's brains, baring fangs and brandishing claws. The ghosts wanted to kill everyone!

"Guili is the most evil cultivator of the Imperial Ranking List, he understands the Ghosts Sutra!" The crowd was shuddering with fear. Guili looked dreadful as he attacked into the bell. More ghosts appeared in people's brains and wailed.

A terrifying Ghost King appeared in Lin Feng's brain, his soul shook violently. The ghost wanted to kill him!

"Die…" His soul turned into a death sword and cut the ghost apart instantly. However, the sound of the bell ringing out, and more ghosts appeared in his brain. He had the sensation he was surrounded by ghosts.

Guili is the third cultivator on the Imperial Ranking List, he's extremely strong, thought Lin Feng. At that moment, he didn't know that several people had already died on top of the pillars, their souls destroyed. And Guili didn't stop, more and more ghosts appeared in everybody's brains. The ancient bell kept ringing!

He's slaughtering people!, thought the crowd. They were astonished and shaking violently. Guili was killing the ranked cultivators. People who could escape did so, but those who couldn't seemed to be dying one after another. Guili was very strong, and few people could compete with him. His Dao power was destroying them!

Only a dozen cultivators could resist Guili's Dao power. The bell rang an eighth time, ghosts wailed furiously, their horrible shrieks spreading in the air. People's faces stiffened. Some people in the distance looked furious, as among the people who were dying, some were from very prestigious clans, and Guili was slaughtering them!

None of the people who were on the Imperial Ranking List were weak, they were all geniuses of the Huang Qi layer. But the crowd was now reminded that there could be huge differences between cultivators of the Huang Qi layer, to the extent that one person could slaughter so many geniuses easily!

PMG Chapter 1952

Chapter 1952: Death Funeral Bell

When the bell rang an eighth time, a cultivator's soul exploded instantly. A terrifying ghost had appeared in his brain and destroyed him instantly. How ferocious and cruel!

Guili looked like a terrifying ghost, his own soul was shaking violently as a demoniac ghost baring fangs and brandishing claws appeared there. The ghost was trying to kill its master!

"All things are of monad nature, but differ in form. In the end, nothing is indestructible!" swore Guili icily. His eyes were magnetic as more ghostly light beams pierced through the bell. Someone gave a horrible shriek and died, not having the time to react before a ghost killed him.

So many people had already left their pillars, including some people who were in the top twenty!

Lin Feng's head was surrounded by terrifying death lights which kept rotating. He looked like a motionless and indestructible mountain.

Guili's mouth was bleeding, drops of blood fell onto his sleeves as he went back to his pillar. At that moment, just over twenty people were left. Many of the people who were better ranked than Lin Feng had already left.

The members of the Great Imperial Palace continued modifying the list. Lin Feng's rank increased. They also removed some people from the Imperial Ranking List and replaced them with other names. It was shocking in its heartlessness. So many people had died, this event was brutal and cruel.

Many people couldn't ask for their Path anymore. Only a few people could compete with Guili.

The crowd looked at Ji Chang and Ying Cheng. What would happen if they knocked the bell? It would be terrifying. Would it be worse than Guili?

Ji Chang glanced at the others, and most especially at Lin Feng. Then, he jumped forwards and landed in front of the bell.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!

The Great Imperial Bell rang shrilly a few times, and a terrifying destructive strength rolled out. The air shook violently, as did those left on the pillars. Their muscles twitched, and they had the impression their brains were going to explode. It was extremely painful!

"Dang, dang!" Ji Chang continued striking the bell. Some people were hurled away from the pillars, unable to withstand the pressure. They had to be careful, or they would die.

"Dang!" When the bell rang an eighth time, two people had no time to escape and exploded instantly. They wanted to escape from their physical body with their soul, but the waves from the bell also crushed their souls!

"Piss off!" shouted Ji Chang explosively, staring at Lin Feng. Destructive Dao continued rolling out. Lin Feng kept shaking. His muscles twitched, and even his bones felt sore.

Lin Feng's eyes were closed. He let the strong wind brush against his body, but remained motionless. His cosmic energies intertwined and turned into strange ancient imprints surrounding his whole body. The air crackled as it was destroyed by the Dao power as well.

Ji Chang looked proud. He jumped forward again and released more Destructive Dao at the bell. The air started to explode as more destructive energies rolled out again, many of those left coughed up blood. One of the cultivators jumped off the pillar. Even the cultivators of the top ten looked anxious.

Lin Feng's ancient imprints exploded, and his body crackled. He released more strength, the Dao power finally weakened, and Lin Feng recovered.

Ji Chang glared at Lin Feng ferociously and went back to the second pillar. He looked imposing and awe-inspiring.

"He made the Great Imperial Bell ring ten times, but he hasn't used his full strength, otherwise, he could have made it ring more!" was the crowd's assessment. Ji Chang was really terrifyingly strong, and Lin Feng was his main target. Everybody knew that Lin Feng had fought against him on the day of his Champion ceremony. Ji Chang was furious that he hadn't managed to drive Lin Feng away.

When the Dao power dispersed, the remaining cultivators calmed down. Lin Feng looked aloof and serene. He was already thirteenth on the Imperial Ranking List!

The crowd looked at the list. Apart from those who were high up in the Imperial Ranking List, the other names had all changed. This Pathfinder Day really shook the whole city!

Ren Tian Xing remained silent for a few seconds and then said to the thirteen, "Who wants to use the bell?"

Many people looked at Ying Cheng, but Ying Cheng didn't seem like he wanted to act. Some other people who were farther down in the ranking list knocked the bell, but their Dao wasn't powerful enough to affect the other cultivators. The crowd kept thinking about Ji Chang and Guili.

The Great Imperial Bell is a bit like the Celestial Pathfinder Plates of the Milky Way battlefield. What kind of special power does it contain?, thought Lin Feng, as he finally jumped down to the bell. Many people were staring at him.

Lin Feng released death Dao determination. He stretched out his hand, his death lights rotated at full strength and then crashed onto the bell. The bell sounded just like a funeral bell ringing. It didn't affect the crowd, however. They just sensed a few threads of death energy.

"Dang!" Lin Feng punched the bell again. A thread of death strength spread in every direction. He also sensed his own death strength.

A strong wind started blowing, Lin Feng continued punching the bell and sensing the strange and mysterious soundwaves. He didn't realize but slowly, a strong death wind had started blowing. The crowd started feeling colder and colder, they slowly sensed the Death Dao power building higher and higher…

The bell rang six times. The Death Qi started whistling, the air was filled with more and more death energy. The death Dao power surrounded people and started penetrating into their souls. Some people started becoming grey as the death Qi corroded their bodies. They felt colder and colder as their very life was attacked.

It was a Funeral Bell. The Dao strength wasn't evil like Guili's Dao, and it wasn't explosive like Ji Chang's Dao, but it was slow and sly.

When the bell rang for the seventh time, the terrifying death wind became as sharp as blades. People's faces turned deathly pale. Many people had the impression that they were dying!

Dong!

The bell rang for the eighth time. Some people instantly died. Some others groaned with pain and collapsed softly. They had hesitated to leave, but now it was too late.

Some people were petrified and staring at Lin Feng, he had already made the bell ring eight times!…

Death Qi flew throughout Lin Feng's body and penetrated into his soul. Lin Feng sensed that the death strength was corroding his body. However, he looked determined and steady. He took a step forwards again. Many of those remaining jumped away when they saw that. How scary would the ninth strike be?

Dong!…

The Funeral Bell rang again. A wave of death strength rolled out above the stage. Some people collapsed, dead. Some other people fell down on their knees and felt weak, furious at Lin Feng. What an insane guy!

"Death, death strength!" Lin Feng calmly sensed the death strength. He sensed the death Qi flowing throughout his body, but in the end, it turned into vitality. He was walking on the Path of Life and Death, not just death.

His life was his death, his death was his life, death made him alive, life made him dead.

Dong!…

The bell rang a tenth time. A tornado of death strength appeared. Ji Chang released terrifying amounts of Destructive Dao to protect himself and managed to destroy some death strength, but some threads of still managed to pierce through his skin. His face turned grey!

Lin Feng's robe and hair wer fluttering violently. He struck the bell again and the soundwaves moved towards Ji Chang.

"Piss off!" said Lin Feng in a voice of the devil. His death Qi penetrated into Ji Chang's body again, who became even greyer.

PMG Chapter 1953

Chapter 1953: Competition for the Path

It was as if the bell had turned into an indestructible Funeral Bell. It kept resonating and death strength kept rolling out. People kept jumping off the pillars in terror. They hadn't thought that Lin Feng would make the bell ring ten times, the death tornado was deadly. Ji Chang released even more Destructive Dao strength to counter it. He had to act quickly, the death strength was corroding his body!

At the same time, he also released his dazzling Cyan Dragon Totems. He looked like a dragon king at that moment.

"Empty words!" said Ji Chang after he heard Lin Feng.

Lin Feng closed his eyes. He was in the hurricane of death energy. The Dao intent gave him the impression that he was dead, as if he had lost his life and worldly affairs had nothing to do with him anymore.

However, there were still threads of indestructible vitality in his body, like candles protecting his life.

Some people rise, some people die. My Path is about death, but how could I die? Death is my Path!, thought Lin Feng. Everyone was staring at Lin Feng. He raised his hand again, people's hearts were pounding furiously.

"Piss off!" shouted Lin Feng explosively again. It was the twelfth time the bell rang. The air groaned with the weight of ages. Death energy crashed out like ocean waves, and crashed onto Ji Chang's body. He had the impression he was going to die, and immediately left the Celestial Imperial Pillar, his face deathly pale.

Ji Chang had had to leave or he would have died. He didn't want to gamble with his life, but what a humiliation. He had tried to make Lin Feng get down off the pillar and failed, but Lin Feng had managed to force him off! He had failed utterly!

"The Path of Life and Death is difficult. It's difficult for people to control life and death strength. But since it's my Path, how could it kill me? Otherwise, what would be the purpose of Dao strength anyway?" Lin Feng murmured to himself. He released even more Death Dao determination and struck the bell again!

This time the air was howling with the end of times. An infinity of death lights illuminated the atmosphere and especially the hundred pillars. However, there was nobody there anymore. Everybody who could had left. They were all staring at Lin Feng.

"Thirteen time. Was he trying to commit suicide?" wondered the crowd. Lin Feng was already completely grey and motionless. He looked like a cadaver.

"Is he dead?" the crowd was astonished and staring at Lin Feng.

"I've heard that some some people sometimes died on the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List while asking for their Path. I wouldn't have thought I'd see it with my own eyes today. Poor guy." some people sighed. Lin Feng had managed to knock the bell twelve times, that was already astonishing, showing great talent. His understanding of the Dao was incredible. But the bell could kill him with his own Dao!

However, at that moment, life strength rose up in the air. And then more and more life strength appeared and started rotating before turning into a strong wind. Green lights of Life Qi started twinkling all around Lin Feng. It was replacing the death strength!

The crowd frowned. Lin Feng wasn't dead? He had knocked the bell thirteen times and he hadn't died? He had even made everybody else leave the Celestial Imperial Pillars!

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, glowing with Life. The thick death Qi was all turning into life Qi. It kept rotating and penetrating into Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng returned to his pillar. Everybody remained silent.

The others hesitantly went back onto their pillars. Their hearts were pounding as they stared at Lin Feng. His Dao power was incredible. He wasn't weaker than those in the top ten, he might even be stronger. He could definitely pose a threat to the cultivators who were in the top ten.

The eyes of the members of the Great Imperial Palace were glittering. Lin Feng had made the bell ring thirteen times, it was an incredible achievement!

Ren Tian Xing moved forward and asked those remainging, "Does anybody else want to try?"

They all remained silent. Nobody could do better than Guili, Ji Chang, and especially Lin Feng. He had made the bell ring thirteen times!

In the golden Imperial Ranking List, there were twenty gaps to fill, for all those who had died. It was shocking. This time, the Pathfinder Day had been cruel. But those who hadn't died had the impression they had learned a lot. Their Dao had become much better, especially Lin Feng. He felt like he understood Death Dao much better. He also realized it could be even more terrifying than he had ever imagined!

The strong cultivators of the Great Imperial Palace flashed over to the bell and took it away. Then, Ren Tian Xing said, "Among those who haven't died, the last fifty cultivators of the list can't ask for their Path."

Many people sighed. More than twenty people had died, and coupled with the fifty people who had failed, it meant that seventy people couldn't ask for their Path. The crowd was humbled. Even some people who understood Dao strength had missed their opportunity!

"Brother Dong Lai, you're in charge now," said Ren Tian Xing to Pei Dong Lai.

Pei Dong Lai nodded and said to the list members, "The Pathfinder Day is about finding one's own Path, about studying Dao strength. Now, if you force a cultivator off his pillar, the cultivator and all those under him will be downgraded consequently. And if you don't manage to force anyone else off, then you'll stay at the end of the list."

"Now, the last one can ask for their Path," said Pei Dong Lai, pointing at the 26th cultivator. That person jumped down in front of the others. If he didn't manage to force anyone off, he would stay 26th in the list.

Lin Feng and the others remained at the top of the pillars. The emperor released his Qi, which surrounded the whole stage.

"What a powerful Intent. He must be from Ancient University."

Boom!

Suddenly, the crowd saw a figure getting attacked. The man groaned icily as golden lights appeared and both fighters' energies collided.

"Destroy!" shouted the one who had been attacked. Instantly, the energies broke apart.

The man who had attacked was stupefied. He glanced at the others, including Lin Feng. Even though Lin Feng's Dao intent was incredible, his cultivation level was low. He couldn't leave the Celestial Imperial Pillar, otherwise he would lose.

The man jumped towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng had the sensation kings were attacking him.

Lin Feng smiled coldly. His cultivation level was too low, right?

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes became grey and filled with death strength, death swords emerged from his eyes and pierced through the attacker. He also stamped the man's soul. Instantly, the destructive energies broke apart.

"Die!" shouted Lin Feng explosively. Death energies condensed in his eyes. Death lights moved towards his opponent, and their energies collided. At the same time, Lin Feng also released a death sword. The man's face changed drastically and he retreated quickly.

Grey death Qi pierced through his body and ate away at his life. Lin Feng raised his hands and an ocean of death strength surged out.

The cultivator released king fighters with a crash of imperial will, but they immediately disappeared in the face of the death energies. The death intent in Lin Feng's eyes was terrifying. The attacker's face turned grey, death swords kept impaling his head. He closed his eyes, his face started rotting, and he collapsed.

"Those who provoke me must die!" Lin Feng said icily. He was also warning other people that if they provoked him, he'd kill them!

When the crowd saw that, they were astonished and shook violently. That guy was strong and insane. He had just killed the 26th cultivator!

"Lin Feng!" shouted someone in the distance. Those people from the attacker's clan, and they were all furious, they wanted to kill him!

However, Lin Feng was anything but worried. He still looked like a death god. This was a perpetual competition. Ji Chang had pissed Lin Feng off and he had forced him off the Celestial Imperial Pillar, it was even worse if weaklings provoked him!

PMG Chapter 1954

Chapter 1954: Chu Chun Qiu's Strength

The crowd was astonished by Lin Feng's strength, he was amazingly strong for his level. The successive challengers didn't dare provoke Lin Feng anymore. The purpose of the competition was to find one's Path, cultivators didn't want to die. A dozen people challenged cultivators, and none of them dared challenge Lin Feng. Even if they managed to rank 11th or 12th, they'd have the occasion to find their Path.

Pei Dong Lai looked at Lin Feng, who was 13th at that moment.

"It's your turn now," Pei Dong Lai said to Lin Feng indifferently.

Lin Feng nodded and jumped forwards. He glanced at the others as he asked, "Do I have to win to win to find my Path?"

"During this round, you can only challenge the 11th and 12th cultivators or above. Of course, even if you don't end up in the top ten, you'll have the opportunity to continue competing," replied Pei Dong Lai calmly.

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng understood that only people who were under him in the ranking list could challenge him, so if he ranked first, everybody would be able to challenge him, he didn't want that. He needed to find a stable position in the ranking list to continue progressing. It wasn't an easy choice.

"Xie Yue!" said Lin Feng. Xie Yue was the eighth cultivator. He controlled Evil Corrosion Dao, Lin Feng controlled Death Dao. Destroying Xie Yue's Dao could be easier for him. However, Lin Feng didn't really understand how strong the ninth and tenth cultivators, respectively Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong, were. Even if he managed to rise up to the eighth position, it wouldn't mean that the ninth and tenth cultivators were weaker than him.

From the beginning, the top ten hadn't changed too much, and it seemed that they tried to keep it that way. After a short time, they would start challenging each other, too. Lin Feng had to end up in the top ten first, and for that he needed to kick someone out of the top ten, and Lin Feng didn't care who it was.

Xie Yue frowned and looked at Lin Feng's eyes, which were filled with death strength. His expression suddenly changed. Lin Feng dared choose him?!

Suddenly, death energies emerged from Lin Feng's eyes and penetrated into Xie Yue's brain. In return, Xie Yue released evil corrosive strength, a seemingly endless amount of which surged towards Lin Feng. However, millions of death Kalpa lights appeared around Lin Feng and blotted out the sky, destroying the corrosive strength at the same time.

"I'll show you what it feels like to be dead!" sneered Xie Yue icily. He shouted furiously, the color of the sky changing again. Everything around Lin Feng became pitch-black.

"Your Dao is not too bad," said Lin Feng, moving forwards. He released another death sword towards Xie Yue. At the same time, he waved his hands, and the air rumbled like opening graves as ancient imprints filled the air, shooting in Xie Yue's direction, drawing down the power of the earth and sky and clearing up the air.

The decaying weight of an ocean of death energy gurgled and moved towards Xie Yue, nearly freezing him in place when he saw it coming. He made some hand seals, condensing his corrosive intent before it turned into a rain and the threads of corrosive evil energy collided with Lin Feng's death energy.

"Get down!" An infinity of death intent washed over and ate away at Xie Yue's body. Lin Feng also released a Nihility Death Sword, it looked even more terrifying than it used to be. Ancient imprints appeared in the ocean of death energies and flowed along with it. When Xie Yue saw the ocean of death energy, he was dumbfounded. He was going to be swallowed if he didn't do anything!

Xie Yue jumped away frantically. The crowd was stupefied at the sight!

Lin Feng immediately jumped onto his pillar. He was now eighth!

"Piece of trash," groaned Jin Xing Zi. All the others below Lin Feng were downgraded one position, not just Jin Xing Zi. The new 13th cultivator looked at the cultivators who were in the top ten and sighed, "I don't care about the ranking list, I care about Dao."

He chose to fight against Ying Cheng.

A terrifying wind made of Destructive Dao rolled towards him. The ground shook violently. Ying Cheng's eyes looked like dazzling stars. Explosions kept spreading in the air. The challenger retreated, as Ying Cheng continued making hand seals. The wind made of Destructive Dao was terrifying!

"Piss off!" A terrifying wave of energy crashed onto that cultivator's body, blood splashed, and he landed far in the distance, his face deathly pale.

"You taught me a good lesson," sighed the man. He was still 13th!

After that, it was the turn of the twelfth cultivator: Chu Chun Qiu!

People's eyes were twinkling in anticipation. Chu Chun Qiu was mysterious. They had all waited impatiently for this day. Who would he challenge?

Suddenly, Chu Chun Qiu looked at Yin Gu Tian, seventh in the ranking list, from the Yin Clan. Yin Gu Tian's eyes were silver. Chu Chun Qiu wanted to force him down in the ranking list.

The crowd stared at the two of them. Chu Chun Qiu rarely showed how strong he was, so nobody really knew how strong he was. His Qi was now King Qi. Things would probably change for him on today.

"Chu Chun Qiu, are you sure?" said Yin Gu Tian. Dazzling silver lights started emerging from his eyes, and silver lights glittered.

Chu Chun Qiu took a step forwards and then started moving towards Yin Gu Tian. His eyes turned into two black holes.

"Argh!" Chu Chun Qiu looked like a king. Yin Gu Tian shuddered with fear as his soul shook. He had the sensation he was losing control over his soul and body. His willpower started flowing out of his body.

There was an explosion as a terrifying sword made of ancient imperial intent moved towards him with overwhelming pressure. His will started breaking apart and he started bleeding. His face turned deathly pale.

"Argh!" There was another explosion, and Yin Gu Tian had the sensation he was losing it, his soul was tearing apart. He wanted to leave his body with his soul, the sky turned silver. He tried to retreat, and finally jumped off the pillar.

Everybody was staring at Chu Chun Qiu, their hearts pounding excitedly. Chu Chun Qiu was terrifyingly strong. Yin Gu Tian was the seventh cultivator in the ranking list, and he had just suffered a crushing defeat!

Yin Gu Tian couldn't believe it. He had never been that scared. He was afraid of Chu Chun Qiu now!

Chu Chun Qiu rolled up his sleeves and jumped up onto his pillar. Yin Gu Tian was staring at him, his face stiff.

Chu Chun Qiu is so strong!, thought Lin Feng with a sigh. He had the premonition many things were going to change during this event. Chu Chun Qiu was always discreet, but he was as strong as an ancient emperor, and had king Qi. He was going to become a hero and rise today!

Ying Cheng and Ji Chang were shocked too. They could barely understand that he had just risen up to the seventh position. What would their position be at the end of the event?

Lin Feng was also downgraded to the ninth rank. Xie Yue, Jin Xing Zi, and Wang Zhong were now under him in the list. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong were now 11th and 12th.

Wang Zhong and Jin Xing Zi looked at the cultivators who were above them in the list and took a deep breath. They were all extremely strong, and now that Lin Feng and Chu Chun Qiu had risen up in the list, would anyone below them challenge them?

Especially Chu Chun Qiu, nobody would dare challenge him!

At this moment, the top ten were: Ying Chen, Ji Chang, Guili, the Buddhist warrior, Shi Yun Feng, Xue Shen Feng, Chu Chun Qiu, Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng and Xie Yue!

They were all terrifyingly strong. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong felt the pressure.

Finally, Wang Zhong took a step forwards, he had to challenge someone!

PMG Chapter 1955

Chapter 1955: The Top Ten

Wang Zhong looked at the ten cultivators. He didn't even consider challenging the cultivators of the top five. Ying Cheng and Ji Chang were too strong, both were Champions. Guili was too evil and knew the Ghosts Sutra. The stone man, Shi Yun Feng, was incredibly strong. Xue Shen Feng was from the Snow Clan and Wang Zhong knew he couldn't defeat him. Chu Chun Qiu was also too strong. So he could only choose among three people: Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng, and Xie Yue.

The audience was astonished at all this and kept gasping with amazement. These people were the strongest cultivators of the Holy City among the people of the Huang Qi layer, true geniuses. If they offended any of them, they'd die!

Lin Feng had defeated Xie Yue, so he didn't want to challenge Lin Feng for now. He didn't have many choices. He looked at Xie Yue. Xie Yue looked back at him icily, turning furious. Wang Zhong wanted to fight against him? Lin Feng had already defeated him today!

"What is this supposed to mean?" said Xie Yue icily. Wang Zhong chopped out with his palm, and many armors appeared in the sky, all of them dazzling.

"Evil corrosion!" shouted Xie Yue furiously. A furious dragon made of corrosive evil strength flew towards Wang Zhong, and the air above him turned into a black hole.

"Ten Thousand Armors Lights!" shouted Wang Zhong extremely loudly. The armors twinkled and turned into a curtain which blotted out the sky. The dragon made of corrosive evil strength turned into many threads of energies and moved towards him.

"Destroy!" shouted Wang Zhong icily. The armors became even more dazzling and the corrosive evil strength completely disappeared.

"Die!" Wang Zhong waved his hands, the armors moved towards Xie Yue. One of the armors turned into a gigantic axe containing a terrifying earth strength. At the same time, the armors became even more dazzling, and the space around them started to distort.

"Is that Dao strength?" Lin Feng was standing on the pillar next to Xie Yue's pillar, his eyes twinkling. He watched Wang Zhong's attacks carefully. Wang Zhong was from the Noble Fang Tian Clan, they were defense adepts. It was a very particular clan, a bit like the World Clan, as they controlled a special kind of strength. The World Clan controlled world strength, and the Noble Fang Tian Clan controlled armor strength. Lin Feng had never seen armor strength before or armor techniques. How powerful!

Xie Yue was in danger. He was going to be defeated quickly, even if his corrosive strength was powerful.

The battle was cruel and intense. Armor strength and corrosive evil strength kept colliding. Wang Zhong was gaining the advantage step by step, getting closer and closer to Xie Yue. Finally, his ten thousand armors exploded and Xie Yue was driven away. He was forced to give up his tenth position!

Jin Xing Zi moved down to the 12th pillar. How humiliating! He kept looking at Yin Gu Tian icily.

The Huang Jin Clan and the Yin Clan were rivals, one clan controlling gold energy, the other one silver energy, so naturally Jin Xing Zi and Yin Gu Tian were rivals. Jin Xing Zi then jumped towards Yin Gu Tian's pillar.

Yin Gu Tian was furious. Chu Chun Qiu had already humiliated him, so he had to regain his reputation. He couldn't lose against Jin Xing Zi!

Dazzling golden lights collided with the dazzling silver lights. The Huang Jin Clan controlled gold Dao, everything they touched could turn into gold, and their energies were destructive. Yin Gu Tian's Dao was very similar to Jin Xing Zi's Dao.

Their battle was even more intense than Wang Zhong and Xie Yue's battle. Jin Xing Zi ended up at the top of the pillar fighting against Yin Gu Tian. One of Yin Gu Tian's arms became golden and exploded. Jin Xing Zi suffered too. Half of his body had become silver and the silver strength was eating away at his body. Gold intent and silver intent were both dangerous.

"Jin Xing Zi, leave, go and learn about cultivation," spat Yin Gu Tian. His eyes were silver and dazzling. It seemed he could turn anyone to silver if they looked at him.

"Even though Chu Chun Qiu oppressed Yin Gu Tian, Yin Gu Tian is really strong. The Yin Clan and the Huang Jin Clan are rivals. Yin Gu Tian was ranked better than Jin Xing Zi, the Great Imperial Palace was right. Yin Gu Tian is stronger than Jin Xing Zi," was the admiring consensus of the audience.

"I would have never thought I'd be out of the top ten," Jin Xing Zi sighed. He looked sad and disappointed. He initially wanted to try and rise up, but in the end, he ended up in the 12th position.

On the Path of cultivation, if you don't progress quickly enough, you fall behind, and then at some point you can never catch up, thought the crowd, sighing with empathy for Jin Xing Zi. He was strong, but the others were stronger than him. Chu Chun Qiu had been in the Holy City for a short time, but he could already defeat Yin Gu Tian. Many people believed he had the potential to end up in the top five.

Lin Feng used to be a nobody, and then he had become famous because he had fought against Ji Chang on the day of his Champion ceremony. Lin Feng was the only medium-level emperor in the top ten at that moment. He was definitely talented!

Jin Xing Zi was 12th and injured now. He couldn't possibly defeat anyone else in the top ten. Xie Yue had fallen behind in the ranking because he had been defeated, but he still had an opportunity to rise back up. But the crowd didn't think he would manage to rise again. Lin Feng and Wang Zhong were 9th and 10th respectively, it would be very difficult to defeat them. Yin Gu Tian was also stronger than he was. Xie Yue couldn't defeat Chu Chun Qiu and the others, that was certain.

Finally, Xie Yue decided to fight against Yin Gu Tian, who was eighth in the ranking. Yin Gu Tian's left arm had been broken after it was turned to gold. When Xie Yue chose to fight against Yin Gu Tian, the audience sighed. He didn't deserve to be in the top ten, challenging someone injured proved he was a coward, he wasn't determined enough…

And the most ridiculous part was that even against the wounded Yin Gu Tian, Xie Yue lost. Now he was 11th and wouldn't be able to reach the top ten.

The top ten was already fixed, the temporary ranking was: Ying Cheng, Ji Chang, Guili, the Buddhist warrior, Shi Yun Feng, Xue Shen Feng, Chu Chun Qiu, Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng and Wang Zhong.

Jin Xing Zi and Xie Yue had been defeated and weren't in the top ten.

Everybody looked at the golden ranking list. Those ten geniuses were incredible. What would the final ranking look like?

Yin Gu Tian was injured. He was probably going to be eighth, ninth or tenth. Lin Feng was really strong, but his cultivation level was lower than everybody else, he couldn't defeat Xue Shen Feng or the stone man. He was probably going to end up in eighth, ninth or tenth position, too.

Chu Chun Qiu was incredibly strong, he was definitely going to end up in the top ten!

At least, that's what the crowd thought. All those fighters were enigmatic and unfathomable, though. None of them had used their full strength yet. The following battles would be more serious.

At that moment, Pei Dong Lai studied the ten cultivators. Back then, he was also in the top ten. He remembered his Pathfinder Day, but now, it was a new generation. These people were also incredible.

"Now I'm going to call people from the top ten, you'll have the opportunity to fight thrice. If you give up once, it means you agree to give up a position. If you give up three times, your position won't change anymore," Pei Dong Lai said slowly. He looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Wang Zhong, will you fight against Guili?"

Wang Zhong frowned, then Pei Dong Lai continued, "If you do and defeat him, you'll replace him, if you lose, you'll still be in the top ten. If you give up, I'll give you two more opportunities."

People's eyes twinkled. The rules were cruel. If Wang Zhong accepted to fight and lost, he'd rank tenth. If he didn't fight, he'd have the opportunity to fight against someone under Guili in the ranking list.

"If you don't fight this time, you won't have the opportunity to fight someone higher than Guili in the ranking list," Pei Dong Lai said calmly.

Wang Zhong didn't know what to think! Guili was third in the rankings!

PMG Chapter 1950-1955

Note: This is a little test tell me what you think about it, with all the chaps in one go.

Chapter 1950: Understanding the Dao and its Principles

"Zhu Wu Ji is walking on the Path of Violent Soundwaves. He understands thunderous soundwaves strength, he can shout and kill people. The Great Imperial Bell emits an explosive strength. The last fifty people on the Imperial Ranking List can't ask for their Path," the watchers told one another. They understood the rules of the event. Some people were going to progress on their Path, some others not.

At that moment, Lin Feng was shaking violently. His muscles twitched. He had the impression he was going to die. The weaker people would be eliminated immediately!

Someone exploded, blood gushed out and he fell from the top of the pillar.

"Argh, argh, argh…" People roared furiously with pain. Many people were hurled away, they couldn't stand the Dao power. Hou Qing Lin released Reincarnation Dao to surround his body. The Dao power couldn't pierce through.

Dugu the Winner was surrounded by lights. Thunder rang out, and Dao power bombarded his imprints, but couldn't pierce through.

Lang Ye was surrounded by world lights. He was in another world, the attack didn't affect him.

Jian Mang was surrounded by light swords, the Dao power couldn't affect him either.

The strong cultivators at the top of the Celestial Imperial Pillars resisted the Dao power. The weakest ones were struck relentlessly, injured or killed.

At that moment, Zhu Wu Ji shouted furiously. He kept attacking the bell, which kept counterattacking. Zhu Wu Ji was suddenly hurled backwards, coughing up blood. He landed back on his pillar. He sat down cross-legged, injured and trying to recover.

The terrifying Dao power disappeared.

Silhouettes rose up in the air. The pillars of those who had been smashed away were now free, they were too weak to resist against Dao power. Their fate had already been determined, they couldn't ask for their Path anymore. Of course, they could ask their counterparts from the ranking list for pieces of advice.

It was the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List. People could ask for their Path, understand Dao principles, and comprehend how to progress on the Path.

The strong cultivators of the Great Imperial Palace kept writing. People looked at the cultivators at the bottom of the list, who wouldn't be able to rise up in the list anymore unless they displayed extraordinary performances after the event.

That Great Imperial Bell is so strange. Its Dao power counterattacks are powerful, Zhu Wu Ji was even injured, thought Lin Feng. That bell was indeed a precious treasure.

"Who else wants to try and ask for their Path?" asked Ren Tian Xing. Someone new rose up in the air. It was Jin Xing Zi. People frowned. He was in the top ten, and controlled Destructive Gold Dao power. His Dao was terrifying. How many people would resist his Dao on the Celestial Imperial Pillars?

"Let's see how many people will resist, and how strange the Great Imperial Bell is?" Jin Xing Zi proclaimed. His robe fluttered violently as he turned into a dazzling golden figure.

The crowd stared at him. Some people sat down cross-legged again and released Qi. They were getting ready to resist Jin Xing Zi's golden Dao. Jin Xing Zi was extremely strong and had an explosive strength. If anyone was careless, they could die!

Jin Xing Zi was surrounded by golden armor. He walked to the bell, waving his hands. His Dao power emitted whistling sounds as he hammered the bell. A mysterious Dao power rolled out from the impact.

Lin Feng's expression changed drastically. His arm started turning into gold before he released Qi and broke it.

"Disperse!" Lin Feng released DevMara Kalpa strength to protect himself. He also used his physical strength.

Jin Xing Zi had turned into a statue of gold. He didn't look like a human being anymore. He attacked the bell three times and three times, golden light beams shot out. Explosion and rumbling sounds spread in the air. A strong cultivator turned into a golden statue and exploded, dead.

"Back!…" Some people knew they would die so they ran away and jumped off the pillar.

"Some people rise, some people die," said someone in a solemn and respectful way. However, that cultivator remained motionless and let the golden energy surround him. He was gambling with his life. He was there to progress on the Path.

The bell rang again. Jin Xing Zi's silhouette became distorted, like he could explode at any time. However, he looked determined and stood there steadily. His Qi rolled in waves furiously and dashed to the skies. Everyone was astonished. His Dao power had just broken through!

Jin Xing Zi was suffering though, and his figure was also distorted. It looked like he could explode too. The Dao power there was more violent then when it arrived at the pillars, and he was at the front of it.

He attacked the bell again. The bell counterattacked. Jin Xing Zi's golden armor broke, his arm crackled. It was getting very dangerous…

"That's enough!" shouted someone loudly. A dozen cultivators at the top of the pillars were suffering too much. Some people thought Jin Xing Zi was going insane. They wanted him to stop!

However, the explosive shout didn't prevent Jin Xing Zi from continuing. He continued as if he hadn't heard anything. His body kept crackling as he continued his insane attack. Someone else's body started crackling, and they died.

Jin Xing Zi raised his arm again. The crowd started suffocating. However, at that moment, he finally stopped. It was too dangerous, even for him.

"Today, I'm not here only to ask for my Path. I'm also hear to watch and learn from others," said Jin Xing Zi sighing. Many people took a deep breath with relief. However, thirty-two people had already been blown away and two had died. How cruel! Those people were strong cultivators from the Imperial Ranking List, all of them were talented, but they had died because of the Dao power. The cultivators who were in the top ten were terrifying. In a one-on-one battle, they could kill those at the bottom of the list in one strike.

At that moment, Lin Feng closed his eyes, Kalpa strength twinkled around him, and a golden Qi appeared. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He understood that today wasn't about fighting. It was about something that went beyond a simple fight.

A strong wind started blowing. Xie Yue landed in front of the bell and punched it violently. A terrifying evil energy rolled outs and corroded people's bodies, trying to rot them away.

After Jin Xing Zi's turn, it was difficult to resist him. Xie Yue's decaying Qi made them start rotting. A vile stench filled the air. Evil decaying Dao power was terrifying!

Ji Chang released Destructive Dao. All those cultivators' Dao couldn't affect him. He seemed indestructible.

Ying Cheng released chaotic Dao power, a vortex appeared around him and the decaying Dao strength disappeared into the vortex.

The stone cultivator seemed invincible too, Xue Shen Feng was surrounded by snowflakes, the Dao power kept freezing. Someone else drew people's attention: Chu Chun Qiu. He didn't do anything, he just absorbed the Dao power and made it flow throughout his body.

"The top ten are terrifying. The Dao power of the Great Imperial Bell doesn't affect them at all. Who would win in one-on-ones?" speculated the audience Very quickly, even more people were forced away from the pillars. After such a short time, only fifty people were left!

Chapter 1951: Slaughtering

Xie Yue knocked the bell, and another dozen cultivators fell off the Celestial Imperial Pillars. The top fifty had already appeared!

"Lang Ye, Dugu the Winner, the blind guy, and the one who controls reincarnation strength are quite persistent and determined. They're going to end up in the top fifty-something!" the crowd was saying as they watched the fighters. Hou Qing Lin was a little bit higher than fiftieth since many people had already been eliminated.

At that moment, another silhouette jumped forwards. This cultivator controlled snow energy, and snowflakes appeared around him, the temperature falling rapidly. Xue Shen Feng walked over to the Great Imperial Bell and said coldly, "Great Imperial Bell, let me find my Path and become stronger!"

His sleeves fluttered in the wind as ice and frost energies bombarded the bell. The bell rang and a layer of ice appeared around it with the sound of ice cracking. A few silhouettes were immediately frozen.

Dong, dong, dong!

Xue Shen Feng attacked the bell three times in a row. The space around him kept freezing. Two more cultivators turned into ice statues, their hearts beating slower and slower.

"Back!" shouted one of the frozen people furiously. He jumped away, the layer of ice around him cracked and he left the pillar. He instantly felt better, as he had almost died!

Xue Shen Feng's face was covered with snow as his own Dao power kept bombarding him. He didn't stop, though. He jumped forwards again, and the bell kept ringing. Some strong cultivators continued to leave their pillars. The last fifty cultivators were already determined, they wouldn't be able to rise in the ranking list anymore. Some of them had even died and would never have an opportunity again.

Xue Shen Feng looked like an ice statue already. He could sense his own terrifying Dao power as he was being attacked by his own strength.

The Great Imperial Bell rang seven more times. There was a thick layer of snow Dao power on Xue Shen Feng's body, and the whole stage was frozen. The cracking of frozen air kept creaking out. Some of the cultivators of the top fifty also started freezing. Maybe their rank would change… of course, it meant that those who were lower in the ranking list would also have an opportunity to rise.

At the foot of the stage, the crowd was getting cold even as they were amazed. Xue Shen Feng was astonishingly strong. Because of him, more than sixty people's ranks were already fixed!

"Is he going to make the bell ring an eighth time?" The people looked at Xue Shen Feng, and were stunned as he slowly raised his arm and bombarded the Great Imperial Bell again.

Dao power bombarded Xue Shen Feng again, the pressure driving him backwards and down onto his butt. The ice energy turned into a destructive ice lake, covering the stage with ice. People descended from the Celestial Imperial Pillars one after another. The crowd realized that only thirty people were left on the pillars!

Lin Feng was still calmly seated on his pillar. His eyes were closed and he was surrounded by Death Dao intent and snow Dao power. He felt extremely cold too, but he started understanding what it meant to find one's Path!

The stage was frozen over, and the ice remained for a very long time. The members of the Great Imperial Palace didn't say anything and ignored the way it hindered the audience. After a while, the ice energies around Xue Shen Feng dispersed and he withdrew to his pillar.

Those on the pillars looked hesitant.

What would happen if those who were higher ranked than Xue Shen Feng bombarded the bell? Wouldn't it be even more terrifying? Those watching didn't even dare to imagine.

"If you don't ask for your Path, how can you master Dao strength?" murmured someone to themselves before jumping off a pillar. Finding one's own Path was extremely complicated. It was an incredible opportunity they had before them. There were many strong cultivators in the Imperial Ranking List, and now they had the opportunity to understand Dao strength even better, how could they miss that opportunity? It was dangerous, but it was also a great chance!

Those who were at the bottom of the Imperial Ranking List couldn't even ask for their Path. They could only watch and learn.

The stone man finally moved, landing in front of the bell. The crowd was startled, as Shi Yun Feng had turned into a stone man again. He looked strange and monstrous.

And then he punched the bell!

He punched the bell four times in a row! The ice hadn't completely dispersed, but when he punched the bell, it disappeared completely. The air was suddenly filled with stone energies. At the same time, many people started turning into stone statues, their arms starting to turn into stony matter. They couldn't move anymore!

Those people's faces turned deathly pale. The stone man punched the bell twice again. Some people turned into statues. His stone strength was terrifying!

The bell rang a seventh time, and the air seemed to groan and grind. Some stone statues immediately exploded as those people died. More people turned into stones and couldn't move. Some others managed to leave the pillars using their full strength.

Lin Feng had turned into a stone statue. He had the sensation his body was going to explode, but at the same time, his physical strength was astonishing. Nobody there could compete with him in terms of physical strength.

More destructive strength oppressed him, and he condensed more cosmic energies, his entire body starting to glow. He looked like an indestructible ancient god. When he started bleeding, he controlled life and death Dao power. He couldn't block the stone strength directly, he had to use his pure physical strength to block it. Yet at the same time, he could still study it!

"There are still so many people. How annoying!" Guili looked at the crowd with his pale white eyes. After Shi Yun Feng withdrew, Guili left his pillar floating in the air like a ghost. His eyes looked terrifying as two light beams emerged from them and stuck the bell. The space around him turned into Hell. Many ghosts appeared in people's brains, baring fangs and brandishing claws. The ghosts wanted to kill everyone!

"Guili is the most evil cultivator of the Imperial Ranking List, he understands the Ghosts Sutra!" The crowd was shuddering with fear. Guili looked dreadful as he attacked into the bell. More ghosts appeared in people's brains and wailed.

A terrifying Ghost King appeared in Lin Feng's brain, his soul shook violently. The ghost wanted to kill him!

"Die…" His soul turned into a death sword and cut the ghost apart instantly. However, the sound of the bell ringing out, and more ghosts appeared in his brain. He had the sensation he was surrounded by ghosts.

Guili is the third cultivator on the Imperial Ranking List, he's extremely strong, thought Lin Feng. At that moment, he didn't know that several people had already died on top of the pillars, their souls destroyed. And Guili didn't stop, more and more ghosts appeared in everybody's brains. The ancient bell kept ringing!

He's slaughtering people!, thought the crowd. They were astonished and shaking violently. Guili was killing the ranked cultivators. People who could escape did so, but those who couldn't seemed to be dying one after another. Guili was very strong, and few people could compete with him. His Dao power was destroying them!

Only a dozen cultivators could resist Guili's Dao power. The bell rang an eighth time, ghosts wailed furiously, their horrible shrieks spreading in the air. People's faces stiffened. Some people in the distance looked furious, as among the people who were dying, some were from very prestigious clans, and Guili was slaughtering them!

None of the people who were on the Imperial Ranking List were weak, they were all geniuses of the Huang Qi layer. But the crowd was now reminded that there could be huge differences between cultivators of the Huang Qi layer, to the extent that one person could slaughter so many geniuses easily!

Chapter 1952: Death Funeral Bell

When the bell rang an eighth time, a cultivator's soul exploded instantly. A terrifying ghost had appeared in his brain and destroyed him instantly. How ferocious and cruel!

Guili looked like a terrifying ghost, his own soul was shaking violently as a demoniac ghost baring fangs and brandishing claws appeared there. The ghost was trying to kill its master!

"All things are of monad nature, but differ in form. In the end, nothing is indestructible!" swore Guili icily. His eyes were magnetic as more ghostly light beams pierced through the bell. Someone gave a horrible shriek and died, not having the time to react before a ghost killed him.

So many people had already left their pillars, including some people who were in the top twenty!

Lin Feng's head was surrounded by terrifying death lights which kept rotating. He looked like a motionless and indestructible mountain.

Guili's mouth was bleeding, drops of blood fell onto his sleeves as he went back to his pillar. At that moment, just over twenty people were left. Many of the people who were better ranked than Lin Feng had already left.

The members of the Great Imperial Palace continued modifying the list. Lin Feng's rank increased. They also removed some people from the Imperial Ranking List and replaced them with other names. It was shocking in its heartlessness. So many people had died, this event was brutal and cruel.

Many people couldn't ask for their Path anymore. Only a few people could compete with Guili.

The crowd looked at Ji Chang and Ying Cheng. What would happen if they knocked the bell? It would be terrifying. Would it be worse than Guili?

Ji Chang glanced at the others, and most especially at Lin Feng. Then, he jumped forwards and landed in front of the bell.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!

The Great Imperial Bell rang shrilly a few times, and a terrifying destructive strength rolled out. The air shook violently, as did those left on the pillars. Their muscles twitched, and they had the impression their brains were going to explode. It was extremely painful!

"Dang, dang!" Ji Chang continued striking the bell. Some people were hurled away from the pillars, unable to withstand the pressure. They had to be careful, or they would die.

"Dang!" When the bell rang an eighth time, two people had no time to escape and exploded instantly. They wanted to escape from their physical body with their soul, but the waves from the bell also crushed their souls!

"Piss off!" shouted Ji Chang explosively, staring at Lin Feng. Destructive Dao continued rolling out. Lin Feng kept shaking. His muscles twitched, and even his bones felt sore.

Lin Feng's eyes were closed. He let the strong wind brush against his body, but remained motionless. His cosmic energies intertwined and turned into strange ancient imprints surrounding his whole body. The air crackled as it was destroyed by the Dao power as well.

Ji Chang looked proud. He jumped forward again and released more Destructive Dao at the bell. The air started to explode as more destructive energies rolled out again, many of those left coughed up blood. One of the cultivators jumped off the pillar. Even the cultivators of the top ten looked anxious.

Lin Feng's ancient imprints exploded, and his body crackled. He released more strength, the Dao power finally weakened, and Lin Feng recovered.

Ji Chang glared at Lin Feng ferociously and went back to the second pillar. He looked imposing and awe-inspiring.

"He made the Great Imperial Bell ring ten times, but he hasn't used his full strength, otherwise, he could have made it ring more!" was the crowd's assessment. Ji Chang was really terrifyingly strong, and Lin Feng was his main target. Everybody knew that Lin Feng had fought against him on the day of his Champion ceremony. Ji Chang was furious that he hadn't managed to drive Lin Feng away.

When the Dao power dispersed, the remaining cultivators calmed down. Lin Feng looked aloof and serene. He was already thirteenth on the Imperial Ranking List!

The crowd looked at the list. Apart from those who were high up in the Imperial Ranking List, the other names had all changed. This Pathfinder Day really shook the whole city!

Ren Tian Xing remained silent for a few seconds and then said to the thirteen, "Who wants to use the bell?"

Many people looked at Ying Cheng, but Ying Cheng didn't seem like he wanted to act. Some other people who were farther down in the ranking list knocked the bell, but their Dao wasn't powerful enough to affect the other cultivators. The crowd kept thinking about Ji Chang and Guili.

The Great Imperial Bell is a bit like the Celestial Pathfinder Plates of the Milky Way battlefield. What kind of special power does it contain?, thought Lin Feng, as he finally jumped down to the bell. Many people were staring at him.

Lin Feng released death Dao determination. He stretched out his hand, his death lights rotated at full strength and then crashed onto the bell. The bell sounded just like a funeral bell ringing. It didn't affect the crowd, however. They just sensed a few threads of death energy.

"Dang!" Lin Feng punched the bell again. A thread of death strength spread in every direction. He also sensed his own death strength.

A strong wind started blowing, Lin Feng continued punching the bell and sensing the strange and mysterious soundwaves. He didn't realize but slowly, a strong death wind had started blowing. The crowd started feeling colder and colder, they slowly sensed the Death Dao power building higher and higher…

The bell rang six times. The Death Qi started whistling, the air was filled with more and more death energy. The death Dao power surrounded people and started penetrating into their souls. Some people started becoming grey as the death Qi corroded their bodies. They felt colder and colder as their very life was attacked.

It was a Funeral Bell. The Dao strength wasn't evil like Guili's Dao, and it wasn't explosive like Ji Chang's Dao, but it was slow and sly.

When the bell rang for the seventh time, the terrifying death wind became as sharp as blades. People's faces turned deathly pale. Many people had the impression that they were dying!

Dong!

The bell rang for the eighth time. Some people instantly died. Some others groaned with pain and collapsed softly. They had hesitated to leave, but now it was too late.

Some people were petrified and staring at Lin Feng, he had already made the bell ring eight times!…

Death Qi flew throughout Lin Feng's body and penetrated into his soul. Lin Feng sensed that the death strength was corroding his body. However, he looked determined and steady. He took a step forwards again. Many of those remaining jumped away when they saw that. How scary would the ninth strike be?

Dong!…

The Funeral Bell rang again. A wave of death strength rolled out above the stage. Some people collapsed, dead. Some other people fell down on their knees and felt weak, furious at Lin Feng. What an insane guy!

"Death, death strength!" Lin Feng calmly sensed the death strength. He sensed the death Qi flowing throughout his body, but in the end, it turned into vitality. He was walking on the Path of Life and Death, not just death.

His life was his death, his death was his life, death made him alive, life made him dead.

Dong!…

The bell rang a tenth time. A tornado of death strength appeared. Ji Chang released terrifying amounts of Destructive Dao to protect himself and managed to destroy some death strength, but some threads of still managed to pierce through his skin. His face turned grey!

Lin Feng's robe and hair wer fluttering violently. He struck the bell again and the soundwaves moved towards Ji Chang.

"Piss off!" said Lin Feng in a voice of the devil. His death Qi penetrated into Ji Chang's body again, who became even greyer.

Chapter 1953: Competition for the Path

It was as if the bell had turned into an indestructible Funeral Bell. It kept resonating and death strength kept rolling out. People kept jumping off the pillars in terror. They hadn't thought that Lin Feng would make the bell ring ten times, the death tornado was deadly. Ji Chang released even more Destructive Dao strength to counter it. He had to act quickly, the death strength was corroding his body!

At the same time, he also released his dazzling Cyan Dragon Totems. He looked like a dragon king at that moment.

"Empty words!" said Ji Chang after he heard Lin Feng.

Lin Feng closed his eyes. He was in the hurricane of death energy. The Dao intent gave him the impression that he was dead, as if he had lost his life and worldly affairs had nothing to do with him anymore.

However, there were still threads of indestructible vitality in his body, like candles protecting his life.

Some people rise, some people die. My Path is about death, but how could I die? Death is my Path!, thought Lin Feng. Everyone was staring at Lin Feng. He raised his hand again, people's hearts were pounding furiously.

"Piss off!" shouted Lin Feng explosively again. It was the twelfth time the bell rang. The air groaned with the weight of ages. Death energy crashed out like ocean waves, and crashed onto Ji Chang's body. He had the impression he was going to die, and immediately left the Celestial Imperial Pillar, his face deathly pale.

Ji Chang had had to leave or he would have died. He didn't want to gamble with his life, but what a humiliation. He had tried to make Lin Feng get down off the pillar and failed, but Lin Feng had managed to force him off! He had failed utterly!

"The Path of Life and Death is difficult. It's difficult for people to control life and death strength. But since it's my Path, how could it kill me? Otherwise, what would be the purpose of Dao strength anyway?" Lin Feng murmured to himself. He released even more Death Dao determination and struck the bell again!

This time the air was howling with the end of times. An infinity of death lights illuminated the atmosphere and especially the hundred pillars. However, there was nobody there anymore. Everybody who could had left. They were all staring at Lin Feng.

"Thirteen time. Was he trying to commit suicide?" wondered the crowd. Lin Feng was already completely grey and motionless. He looked like a cadaver.

"Is he dead?" the crowd was astonished and staring at Lin Feng.

"I've heard that some some people sometimes died on the Pathfinder Day of the Imperial Ranking List while asking for their Path. I wouldn't have thought I'd see it with my own eyes today. Poor guy." some people sighed. Lin Feng had managed to knock the bell twelve times, that was already astonishing, showing great talent. His understanding of the Dao was incredible. But the bell could kill him with his own Dao!

However, at that moment, life strength rose up in the air. And then more and more life strength appeared and started rotating before turning into a strong wind. Green lights of Life Qi started twinkling all around Lin Feng. It was replacing the death strength!

The crowd frowned. Lin Feng wasn't dead? He had knocked the bell thirteen times and he hadn't died? He had even made everybody else leave the Celestial Imperial Pillars!

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, glowing with Life. The thick death Qi was all turning into life Qi. It kept rotating and penetrating into Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng returned to his pillar. Everybody remained silent.

The others hesitantly went back onto their pillars. Their hearts were pounding as they stared at Lin Feng. His Dao power was incredible. He wasn't weaker than those in the top ten, he might even be stronger. He could definitely pose a threat to the cultivators who were in the top ten.

The eyes of the members of the Great Imperial Palace were glittering. Lin Feng had made the bell ring thirteen times, it was an incredible achievement!

Ren Tian Xing moved forward and asked those remainging, "Does anybody else want to try?"

They all remained silent. Nobody could do better than Guili, Ji Chang, and especially Lin Feng. He had made the bell ring thirteen times!

In the golden Imperial Ranking List, there were twenty gaps to fill, for all those who had died. It was shocking. This time, the Pathfinder Day had been cruel. But those who hadn't died had the impression they had learned a lot. Their Dao had become much better, especially Lin Feng. He felt like he understood Death Dao much better. He also realized it could be even more terrifying than he had ever imagined!

The strong cultivators of the Great Imperial Palace flashed over to the bell and took it away. Then, Ren Tian Xing said, "Among those who haven't died, the last fifty cultivators of the list can't ask for their Path."

Many people sighed. More than twenty people had died, and coupled with the fifty people who had failed, it meant that seventy people couldn't ask for their Path. The crowd was humbled. Even some people who understood Dao strength had missed their opportunity!

"Brother Dong Lai, you're in charge now," said Ren Tian Xing to Pei Dong Lai.

Pei Dong Lai nodded and said to the list members, "The Pathfinder Day is about finding one's own Path, about studying Dao strength. Now, if you force a cultivator off his pillar, the cultivator and all those under him will be downgraded consequently. And if you don't manage to force anyone else off, then you'll stay at the end of the list."

"Now, the last one can ask for their Path," said Pei Dong Lai, pointing at the 26th cultivator. That person jumped down in front of the others. If he didn't manage to force anyone off, he would stay 26th in the list.

Lin Feng and the others remained at the top of the pillars. The emperor released his Qi, which surrounded the whole stage.

"What a powerful Intent. He must be from Ancient University."

Boom!

Suddenly, the crowd saw a figure getting attacked. The man groaned icily as golden lights appeared and both fighters' energies collided.

"Destroy!" shouted the one who had been attacked. Instantly, the energies broke apart.

The man who had attacked was stupefied. He glanced at the others, including Lin Feng. Even though Lin Feng's Dao intent was incredible, his cultivation level was low. He couldn't leave the Celestial Imperial Pillar, otherwise he would lose.

The man jumped towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng had the sensation kings were attacking him.

Lin Feng smiled coldly. His cultivation level was too low, right?

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes became grey and filled with death strength, death swords emerged from his eyes and pierced through the attacker. He also stamped the man's soul. Instantly, the destructive energies broke apart.

"Die!" shouted Lin Feng explosively. Death energies condensed in his eyes. Death lights moved towards his opponent, and their energies collided. At the same time, Lin Feng also released a death sword. The man's face changed drastically and he retreated quickly.

Grey death Qi pierced through his body and ate away at his life. Lin Feng raised his hands and an ocean of death strength surged out.

The cultivator released king fighters with a crash of imperial will, but they immediately disappeared in the face of the death energies. The death intent in Lin Feng's eyes was terrifying. The attacker's face turned grey, death swords kept impaling his head. He closed his eyes, his face started rotting, and he collapsed.

"Those who provoke me must die!" Lin Feng said icily. He was also warning other people that if they provoked him, he'd kill them!

When the crowd saw that, they were astonished and shook violently. That guy was strong and insane. He had just killed the 26th cultivator!

"Lin Feng!" shouted someone in the distance. Those people from the attacker's clan, and they were all furious, they wanted to kill him!

However, Lin Feng was anything but worried. He still looked like a death god. This was a perpetual competition. Ji Chang had pissed Lin Feng off and he had forced him off the Celestial Imperial Pillar, it was even worse if weaklings provoked him!

Chapter 1954: Chu Chun Qiu's Strength

The crowd was astonished by Lin Feng's strength, he was amazingly strong for his level. The successive challengers didn't dare provoke Lin Feng anymore. The purpose of the competition was to find one's Path, cultivators didn't want to die. A dozen people challenged cultivators, and none of them dared challenge Lin Feng. Even if they managed to rank 11th or 12th, they'd have the occasion to find their Path.

Pei Dong Lai looked at Lin Feng, who was 13th at that moment.

"It's your turn now," Pei Dong Lai said to Lin Feng indifferently.

Lin Feng nodded and jumped forwards. He glanced at the others as he asked, "Do I have to win to win to find my Path?"

"During this round, you can only challenge the 11th and 12th cultivators or above. Of course, even if you don't end up in the top ten, you'll have the opportunity to continue competing," replied Pei Dong Lai calmly.

Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng understood that only people who were under him in the ranking list could challenge him, so if he ranked first, everybody would be able to challenge him, he didn't want that. He needed to find a stable position in the ranking list to continue progressing. It wasn't an easy choice.

"Xie Yue!" said Lin Feng. Xie Yue was the eighth cultivator. He controlled Evil Corrosion Dao, Lin Feng controlled Death Dao. Destroying Xie Yue's Dao could be easier for him. However, Lin Feng didn't really understand how strong the ninth and tenth cultivators, respectively Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong, were. Even if he managed to rise up to the eighth position, it wouldn't mean that the ninth and tenth cultivators were weaker than him.

From the beginning, the top ten hadn't changed too much, and it seemed that they tried to keep it that way. After a short time, they would start challenging each other, too. Lin Feng had to end up in the top ten first, and for that he needed to kick someone out of the top ten, and Lin Feng didn't care who it was.

Xie Yue frowned and looked at Lin Feng's eyes, which were filled with death strength. His expression suddenly changed. Lin Feng dared choose him?!

Suddenly, death energies emerged from Lin Feng's eyes and penetrated into Xie Yue's brain. In return, Xie Yue released evil corrosive strength, a seemingly endless amount of which surged towards Lin Feng. However, millions of death Kalpa lights appeared around Lin Feng and blotted out the sky, destroying the corrosive strength at the same time.

"I'll show you what it feels like to be dead!" sneered Xie Yue icily. He shouted furiously, the color of the sky changing again. Everything around Lin Feng became pitch-black.

"Your Dao is not too bad," said Lin Feng, moving forwards. He released another death sword towards Xie Yue. At the same time, he waved his hands, and the air rumbled like opening graves as ancient imprints filled the air, shooting in Xie Yue's direction, drawing down the power of the earth and sky and clearing up the air.

The decaying weight of an ocean of death energy gurgled and moved towards Xie Yue, nearly freezing him in place when he saw it coming. He made some hand seals, condensing his corrosive intent before it turned into a rain and the threads of corrosive evil energy collided with Lin Feng's death energy.

"Get down!" An infinity of death intent washed over and ate away at Xie Yue's body. Lin Feng also released a Nihility Death Sword, it looked even more terrifying than it used to be. Ancient imprints appeared in the ocean of death energies and flowed along with it. When Xie Yue saw the ocean of death energy, he was dumbfounded. He was going to be swallowed if he didn't do anything!

Xie Yue jumped away frantically. The crowd was stupefied at the sight!

Lin Feng immediately jumped onto his pillar. He was now eighth!

"Piece of trash," groaned Jin Xing Zi. All the others below Lin Feng were downgraded one position, not just Jin Xing Zi. The new 13th cultivator looked at the cultivators who were in the top ten and sighed, "I don't care about the ranking list, I care about Dao."

He chose to fight against Ying Cheng.

A terrifying wind made of Destructive Dao rolled towards him. The ground shook violently. Ying Cheng's eyes looked like dazzling stars. Explosions kept spreading in the air. The challenger retreated, as Ying Cheng continued making hand seals. The wind made of Destructive Dao was terrifying!

"Piss off!" A terrifying wave of energy crashed onto that cultivator's body, blood splashed, and he landed far in the distance, his face deathly pale.

"You taught me a good lesson," sighed the man. He was still 13th!

After that, it was the turn of the twelfth cultivator: Chu Chun Qiu!

People's eyes were twinkling in anticipation. Chu Chun Qiu was mysterious. They had all waited impatiently for this day. Who would he challenge?

Suddenly, Chu Chun Qiu looked at Yin Gu Tian, seventh in the ranking list, from the Yin Clan. Yin Gu Tian's eyes were silver. Chu Chun Qiu wanted to force him down in the ranking list.

The crowd stared at the two of them. Chu Chun Qiu rarely showed how strong he was, so nobody really knew how strong he was. His Qi was now King Qi. Things would probably change for him on today.

"Chu Chun Qiu, are you sure?" said Yin Gu Tian. Dazzling silver lights started emerging from his eyes, and silver lights glittered.

Chu Chun Qiu took a step forwards and then started moving towards Yin Gu Tian. His eyes turned into two black holes.

"Argh!" Chu Chun Qiu looked like a king. Yin Gu Tian shuddered with fear as his soul shook. He had the sensation he was losing control over his soul and body. His willpower started flowing out of his body.

There was an explosion as a terrifying sword made of ancient imperial intent moved towards him with overwhelming pressure. His will started breaking apart and he started bleeding. His face turned deathly pale.

"Argh!" There was another explosion, and Yin Gu Tian had the sensation he was losing it, his soul was tearing apart. He wanted to leave his body with his soul, the sky turned silver. He tried to retreat, and finally jumped off the pillar.

Everybody was staring at Chu Chun Qiu, their hearts pounding excitedly. Chu Chun Qiu was terrifyingly strong. Yin Gu Tian was the seventh cultivator in the ranking list, and he had just suffered a crushing defeat!

Yin Gu Tian couldn't believe it. He had never been that scared. He was afraid of Chu Chun Qiu now!

Chu Chun Qiu rolled up his sleeves and jumped up onto his pillar. Yin Gu Tian was staring at him, his face stiff.

Chu Chun Qiu is so strong!, thought Lin Feng with a sigh. He had the premonition many things were going to change during this event. Chu Chun Qiu was always discreet, but he was as strong as an ancient emperor, and had king Qi. He was going to become a hero and rise today!

Ying Cheng and Ji Chang were shocked too. They could barely understand that he had just risen up to the seventh position. What would their position be at the end of the event?

Lin Feng was also downgraded to the ninth rank. Xie Yue, Jin Xing Zi, and Wang Zhong were now under him in the list. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong were now 11th and 12th.

Wang Zhong and Jin Xing Zi looked at the cultivators who were above them in the list and took a deep breath. They were all extremely strong, and now that Lin Feng and Chu Chun Qiu had risen up in the list, would anyone below them challenge them?

Especially Chu Chun Qiu, nobody would dare challenge him!

At this moment, the top ten were: Ying Chen, Ji Chang, Guili, the Buddhist warrior, Shi Yun Feng, Xue Shen Feng, Chu Chun Qiu, Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng and Xie Yue!

They were all terrifyingly strong. Jin Xing Zi and Wang Zhong felt the pressure.

Finally, Wang Zhong took a step forwards, he had to challenge someone!

Chapter 1955: The Top Ten

Wang Zhong looked at the ten cultivators. He didn't even consider challenging the cultivators of the top five. Ying Cheng and Ji Chang were too strong, both were Champions. Guili was too evil and knew the Ghosts Sutra. The stone man, Shi Yun Feng, was incredibly strong. Xue Shen Feng was from the Snow Clan and Wang Zhong knew he couldn't defeat him. Chu Chun Qiu was also too strong. So he could only choose among three people: Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng, and Xie Yue.

The audience was astonished at all this and kept gasping with amazement. These people were the strongest cultivators of the Holy City among the people of the Huang Qi layer, true geniuses. If they offended any of them, they'd die!

Lin Feng had defeated Xie Yue, so he didn't want to challenge Lin Feng for now. He didn't have many choices. He looked at Xie Yue. Xie Yue looked back at him icily, turning furious. Wang Zhong wanted to fight against him? Lin Feng had already defeated him today!

"What is this supposed to mean?" said Xie Yue icily. Wang Zhong chopped out with his palm, and many armors appeared in the sky, all of them dazzling.

"Evil corrosion!" shouted Xie Yue furiously. A furious dragon made of corrosive evil strength flew towards Wang Zhong, and the air above him turned into a black hole.

"Ten Thousand Armors Lights!" shouted Wang Zhong extremely loudly. The armors twinkled and turned into a curtain which blotted out the sky. The dragon made of corrosive evil strength turned into many threads of energies and moved towards him.

"Destroy!" shouted Wang Zhong icily. The armors became even more dazzling and the corrosive evil strength completely disappeared.

"Die!" Wang Zhong waved his hands, the armors moved towards Xie Yue. One of the armors turned into a gigantic axe containing a terrifying earth strength. At the same time, the armors became even more dazzling, and the space around them started to distort.

"Is that Dao strength?" Lin Feng was standing on the pillar next to Xie Yue's pillar, his eyes twinkling. He watched Wang Zhong's attacks carefully. Wang Zhong was from the Noble Fang Tian Clan, they were defense adepts. It was a very particular clan, a bit like the World Clan, as they controlled a special kind of strength. The World Clan controlled world strength, and the Noble Fang Tian Clan controlled armor strength. Lin Feng had never seen armor strength before or armor techniques. How powerful!

Xie Yue was in danger. He was going to be defeated quickly, even if his corrosive strength was powerful.

The battle was cruel and intense. Armor strength and corrosive evil strength kept colliding. Wang Zhong was gaining the advantage step by step, getting closer and closer to Xie Yue. Finally, his ten thousand armors exploded and Xie Yue was driven away. He was forced to give up his tenth position!

Jin Xing Zi moved down to the 12th pillar. How humiliating! He kept looking at Yin Gu Tian icily.

The Huang Jin Clan and the Yin Clan were rivals, one clan controlling gold energy, the other one silver energy, so naturally Jin Xing Zi and Yin Gu Tian were rivals. Jin Xing Zi then jumped towards Yin Gu Tian's pillar.

Yin Gu Tian was furious. Chu Chun Qiu had already humiliated him, so he had to regain his reputation. He couldn't lose against Jin Xing Zi!

Dazzling golden lights collided with the dazzling silver lights. The Huang Jin Clan controlled gold Dao, everything they touched could turn into gold, and their energies were destructive. Yin Gu Tian's Dao was very similar to Jin Xing Zi's Dao.

Their battle was even more intense than Wang Zhong and Xie Yue's battle. Jin Xing Zi ended up at the top of the pillar fighting against Yin Gu Tian. One of Yin Gu Tian's arms became golden and exploded. Jin Xing Zi suffered too. Half of his body had become silver and the silver strength was eating away at his body. Gold intent and silver intent were both dangerous.

"Jin Xing Zi, leave, go and learn about cultivation," spat Yin Gu Tian. His eyes were silver and dazzling. It seemed he could turn anyone to silver if they looked at him.

"Even though Chu Chun Qiu oppressed Yin Gu Tian, Yin Gu Tian is really strong. The Yin Clan and the Huang Jin Clan are rivals. Yin Gu Tian was ranked better than Jin Xing Zi, the Great Imperial Palace was right. Yin Gu Tian is stronger than Jin Xing Zi," was the admiring consensus of the audience.

"I would have never thought I'd be out of the top ten," Jin Xing Zi sighed. He looked sad and disappointed. He initially wanted to try and rise up, but in the end, he ended up in the 12th position.

On the Path of cultivation, if you don't progress quickly enough, you fall behind, and then at some point you can never catch up, thought the crowd, sighing with empathy for Jin Xing Zi. He was strong, but the others were stronger than him. Chu Chun Qiu had been in the Holy City for a short time, but he could already defeat Yin Gu Tian. Many people believed he had the potential to end up in the top five.

Lin Feng used to be a nobody, and then he had become famous because he had fought against Ji Chang on the day of his Champion ceremony. Lin Feng was the only medium-level emperor in the top ten at that moment. He was definitely talented!

Jin Xing Zi was 12th and injured now. He couldn't possibly defeat anyone else in the top ten. Xie Yue had fallen behind in the ranking because he had been defeated, but he still had an opportunity to rise back up. But the crowd didn't think he would manage to rise again. Lin Feng and Wang Zhong were 9th and 10th respectively, it would be very difficult to defeat them. Yin Gu Tian was also stronger than he was. Xie Yue couldn't defeat Chu Chun Qiu and the others, that was certain.

Finally, Xie Yue decided to fight against Yin Gu Tian, who was eighth in the ranking. Yin Gu Tian's left arm had been broken after it was turned to gold. When Xie Yue chose to fight against Yin Gu Tian, the audience sighed. He didn't deserve to be in the top ten, challenging someone injured proved he was a coward, he wasn't determined enough…

And the most ridiculous part was that even against the wounded Yin Gu Tian, Xie Yue lost. Now he was 11th and wouldn't be able to reach the top ten.

The top ten was already fixed, the temporary ranking was: Ying Cheng, Ji Chang, Guili, the Buddhist warrior, Shi Yun Feng, Xue Shen Feng, Chu Chun Qiu, Yin Gu Tian, Lin Feng and Wang Zhong.

Jin Xing Zi and Xie Yue had been defeated and weren't in the top ten.

Everybody looked at the golden ranking list. Those ten geniuses were incredible. What would the final ranking look like?

Yin Gu Tian was injured. He was probably going to be eighth, ninth or tenth. Lin Feng was really strong, but his cultivation level was lower than everybody else, he couldn't defeat Xue Shen Feng or the stone man. He was probably going to end up in eighth, ninth or tenth position, too.

Chu Chun Qiu was incredibly strong, he was definitely going to end up in the top ten!

At least, that's what the crowd thought. All those fighters were enigmatic and unfathomable, though. None of them had used their full strength yet. The following battles would be more serious.

At that moment, Pei Dong Lai studied the ten cultivators. Back then, he was also in the top ten. He remembered his Pathfinder Day, but now, it was a new generation. These people were also incredible.

"Now I'm going to call people from the top ten, you'll have the opportunity to fight thrice. If you give up once, it means you agree to give up a position. If you give up three times, your position won't change anymore," Pei Dong Lai said slowly. He looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Wang Zhong, will you fight against Guili?"

Wang Zhong frowned, then Pei Dong Lai continued, "If you do and defeat him, you'll replace him, if you lose, you'll still be in the top ten. If you give up, I'll give you two more opportunities."

People's eyes twinkled. The rules were cruel. If Wang Zhong accepted to fight and lost, he'd rank tenth. If he didn't fight, he'd have the opportunity to fight against someone under Guili in the ranking list.

"If you don't fight this time, you won't have the opportunity to fight someone higher than Guili in the ranking list," Pei Dong Lai said calmly.

Wang Zhong didn't know what to think! Guili was third in the rankings!
