2138 An Inescapable Space

“It’s the Young Leaders from the Seven Kill Alliance and the Thousand Years Alliance, Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhi. They’re eliminated as well?”

Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhou’s appearance had undoubtedly caught many people’s attention. Some people who had been eliminated earlier had recognized them as well.

When Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhi felt the gazes on them, their expressions darkened immediately. They were so close to passing the test, but they still failed at the crucial moment. They felt extremely resentful and disgruntled. Naturally, if they knew that the tests were seemingly endless and would only get progressively harder, they would not feel this way.

After Ou Qing caught his breath, he looked at Dong Guo Zhi with a mocking smile and said, “Dong Guo Zhi, you’re eliminated at the same time as me. It seems like the young leader of the Thousand Years Alliance isn’t so strong after all. Didn’t you always call me a good-for-nothing rich kid? It seems like the young leader of the Thousand Years Alliance isn’t that much stronger than a good-for-nothing rich kid!”

Ou Qing had not forgotten that Dong Guo Zi had tried to goad the black-robed man into killing him earlier. Since he was presented with a chance now to ridicule Dong Guo Zhi, he, naturally, would not let the chance pass by.

“Ou Qing!” When Dong Guo Zhi heard Ou Qing’s words, he was instantly enraged but there was nothing he could say in return. He was not the only one who looked down on Ou Qing. Many sectless cultivators in Sin City thought that Ou Qing was weaker than him.

When Dong Guo Zhi sensed the gazes on him, he felt so embarrassed he felt like digging a hole in the ground to hide in!

When Ou Qing saw this, he smiled widely. Suddenly, he felt it was worth it to be eliminated. Hu! Hu! Hu!

Soon after, people began to appear one after another. All these were people who had been eliminated.

In the beginning, those who were eliminated were at the First Form or Second Form of the Form Saint Celestial Stage. Gradually, even powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were eliminated.

“Elder Yu!”

“Elder Xiao!”

When two figures appeared, Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhi cried out in unison. They were surprised that these two people were eliminated since they were elders from the Seven Kill Alliance and the Thousand Years Alliance.

Naturally, if these two people were just ordinary elders from their respective alliances, Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhi would not have lost their composure. These two elders were not just ordinary elders in their respective alliances.

“Isn’t this Elder Yu Zhong from the Seven Kill Alliance?”

“That’s Elder Xiao Peng from the Thousand Years Alliance!”

Yu Zhong and Xiao Peng aren’t just ordinary powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… They ranked within the top 200 on the Supreme Saint Ranking!”

“They’re even stronger than First Elder You Chun Wu from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance! I didn’t expect even someone as strong them would be eliminated!”

“With such a high rate of elimination, I’m afraid only a handful of people will be able to remain in the treasure vault of the powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had passed the heavenly tribulation.”

“I think so as well.”

The people in the surroundings who had been eliminated lamented among themselves.

As time passed, more and more people were eliminated. All these people had one thing in common. All of their cultivation bases were below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

“Everyone from the Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance who are below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage have been eliminated… Those from the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance and Hundred Ghost Alliance whose cultivation bases were below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage have also been eliminated.”

“That’s not all… Even the sectless cultivators from the other alliances with cultivation bases below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage have been eliminated as well. Currently, the only people below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who are still inside are those from the Black Kshetra Sect and the other forces.”

“They won’t be able to remain for long in there. The only reason they haven’t been eliminated is due to their late entrance!”

“I agree.”

While people were discussing among themselves, people below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from the Black Kshetra Sect and the other forces were also eliminated one after another.

“Look!”

“I think there are no more powerhouses below the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage inside.”

“As expected of a treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation. The rate of elimination is ridiculously high! It seems that you can forget about obtaining the treasures inside if your cultivation base isn’t above the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.”

“That’s a really high requirement!”

Currently, about 90% of the people outside were people who had been eliminated. As they discussed among themselves, an expression of bitterness and helplessness could be seen on their faces. Naturally, none of them wanted to be eliminated, but there were some things that were out of their control.

“The tests in there are ridiculous. Not only does it get progressively harder, but it seems endless as well.”

“That’s true. I’m pretty sure the few tests ahead of me before I was eliminated might even be difficult for powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

Many powerhouses at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who were eliminated said with a bitter smile. If one had to pick those who felt the most dissatisfied, it would be this group of people.

As time passed, no powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were eliminated. Many people came to the conclusion that the test they had failed was one of the final tests. Who knew, it could it even be the final test!

The Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, Old Black Crow, looked and asked around. He discovered the enemy of the Black Crow Alliance was nowhere to be seen. It was just as he had expected. ‘That black-robed man is actually a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher!’

Earlier, Old Black Crow was just guessing. There was still a sliver of hope in his heart. When he saw that the black- robed man was nowhere to be seen, the last hope he held in his heart vanished immediately!

“From this day onward, all of you must let go of your hatred toward the black-robed man… From now on, members of the Black Crow Alliance must never take advantage of the weak ever again!”

When Old Black Crow realized that he and the Black Crow Alliance could not do anything to the black-robed man, he decisively gave an order to the high-ranking officials of the Black Crow Alliance through Voice Transmission.

The high-ranking officials from the Black Crow Alliance had no objection in regard to this order. Even the strongest person in the Black Crow Alliance, their leader, was afraid of the black-robed man. How could they not be afraid?

Meanwhile, there was something the people outside were unaware of.

There was a group of extremely bored people inside the pseudo realm that was left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation.

Duan Ling Tian was one of those people.

“When will I be able to leave?”

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was stuck in an enclosed place. The space was not big. It could probably fit two adults at most. Duan Ling Tian felt extremely constricted.

Duan Ling Tian had tried to break out from this enclosed space. However, even after he cast all his techniques without any reservations, he still failed to leave the space. His power did not even affect the space. He was trapped inside and could not escape.

“Elder Huo, what’s this space made of? Why doesn’t my attacks affect it?” Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo to learn more about the space he was entrapped in.

“This space is part of the pseudo realm… So long you’re still in the pseudo realm, you’ll be trapped here. There’s no way for you to leave. Naturally, it would be easy for you to leave if your cultivation base has reached the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and you’ve passed the Heavenly Tribulations. This space wouldn’t be able to confine you then.”

Based on Elder Huo’s words, it seemed like even powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had not passed the Heavenly Tribulation would not be able to escape this space and pseudo realm.

The difference in strength between a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had passed the Heavenly Tribulation and one who had not passed the Heavenly Tribulation was at a completely different level. They were as far apart as Heaven and earth.

When Duan Ling Tian heard Elder Huo’s words, he completely dismissed the idea of escaping.

What a joke! Elder Huo had said even a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who did not pass the Heavenly Tribulation could not escape this space. How could Duan Ling Tian escape then?

The test I faced before this was really tough… If my Sun Saint Origin didn’t recover after I entered the pseudo realm, I might not be able to pass the test even if I use the Jasper Celestial Sword!’ Duan Ling Tian still felt a lingering fear when he thought about the latest test he faced. If he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword, it would have been impossible for him to pass the test!

After Duan Ling Tian passed that particular test, there was a sudden blackout. When light returned, he found himself in this strange space.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that apart from him, there were also others who were confined in this strange space after passing the previous test.

Those people were the leaders of the Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance. Meng Hao and Madam Snake who were at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage were also trapped in this space.

Everyone who passed all the tests so far was trapped. There was no exception.

It was as though they had to wait for those who entered after them to finish all the tests as well…

Duan Ling Tian did not know how much time had passed when he heard a voice by his ears. “Congratulations! You’ve passed the elimination test…”

The voice sounded ethereal and it seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
