Primordial Emperor

In the Heaven Hall, there are many strong warriors in seclusion trying to break through. Once they reach the Creation Realm, they can go through the Cloud Sea Trial and become Inner Sect disciples.

But even those strong warriors in seclusion, apart from the twenty half-step Creation Realm experts, the scattered disciples of other realms also number around a thousand.

There's no denying, the disciples of Heaven Hall are numerous.

To become a disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, one must be a Heavenly Pride of Cloud Dragon Kingdom, all meticulously selected. It's imaginable that Heaven Hall having over a thousand Heavenly Pride members is an enormously powerful force, whose battle power should not be underestimated.

With a glance, one can see many strong warriors on the martial arts arena's platforms, each of them possesses the ability to fight across realms.

And beneath the martial arts arena, several enormous stone tables are set up, each surrounded by people.

"Place your bets, the match is about to begin, hurry and place your bets!"

In front of every stone table, there are several people responsible for encouraging everyone to place bets, while others are organizing and recording people's bets.

Nearby the betting stone tables, each has ten Heaven Hall martial artists defending the platform. As long as you defeat any of the defenders, it's considered a successful challenge.

And these defenders are extraordinary, the strongest have half-step Creation Realm cultivation, and the weakest are in the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm.

Those intending to challenge the platform cannot have cultivation higher than the defenders, and accordingly, the betting odds given by the bookmaker differ for each challenger.

At this moment, Lin Chen approaches a betting table, only to see that the odds marked by Heaven Hall disciples on this table are one to ten.

This means that a successful challenge against a defender wins ten times the odds.

If the challenge fails, not a single spirit crystal is returned.

Currently, many disciples are challenging the defenders, betting spirit crystals on themselves before the challenge.

After all, through this gambling, one might become rich overnight.

And those disciples challenging the platform are strong, if they weren't confident, they wouldn't dare to step up.

Lin Chen looked up and saw that the defender from Heaven Hall on the platform has cultivation of Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer.

Seeing this, Lin Chen unhesitatingly went to the stone table below the platform to register for the next match.

This defender before him is merely Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer cultivation, Lin Chen doesn't need to worry about whether the opponent has the power to fight across realms.

Below the Creation Realm, Lin Chen is invincible and does not take the opponents seriously.

When Lin Chen went to register, the Heaven Hall disciple responsible for registration was quite surprised, since Lin Chen is merely Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer. It's unexpected that he dared to come for the challenge.

In the Outer Sect, there are many disciples with Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, so no one guessed the person before them was Lin Chen.

The cultivation of Lin Chen is too low; coming to challenge, facing the defender with Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer, one can't help but think he will certainly lose.

To challenge the arena requires submitting some spirit crystals.

This differs from placing a bet; it's a challenge fee, costing one thousand low-grade spirit crystals. If the challenge is successful, one can earn a tenfold return of spirit crystals.

But if it fails, not only won't you earn the reward, your own spirit crystals will be lost.

Because of this challenge fee, disciples who aren't very confident dare not step up, fearing a failed challenge will result in a loss of a thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

Therefore, nobody thinks Lin Chen will win when he comes to challenge; they think he is simply here to give away money.

"What is your name?"

The disciple responsible for registration glances at Lin Chen and asks.

"Master Qingxu!"

Lin Chen casually replies, directly using the title of Master Qingxu.

Joking around, he surely couldn't give his real name. Otherwise, he might immediately be surrounded by Shi An and Wang Shuo with their people.

Lin Chen does not think his current strength can compete with the entirety of Heaven Hall.

The Heaven Hall disciple responsible for records gives Lin Chen another look, knowing just by the name that Lin Chen was reporting a title, not a real name.

Regarding this, the disciple in charge of registration doesn't care, he just needs to record a name, whether Lin Chen reports a real name or not is irrelevant.

With Lin Chen's registration, the match on the platform ends.

The challenger participating in the match failed, and a wave of boos erupted from beneath the platform, apparently a failed bet.

Then, it's Lin Chen's turn to take the stage.

"Platform number nine, the next match, defender Quinn, challenger Master Qingxu."

"The match is about to begin, place your bets, everyone, hurry and place your bets."

Following the previous match's conclusion, the responsible people from Heaven Hall began shouting, guiding everyone to place bets.

"Master Qingxu, who is this guy? Never heard of him."

"This must not be a real name; it's probably a title he gave himself. Hearing this title, he seems quite formidable, daring to use 'Master' in his name."

"Nowadays, people just like to be mysterious. We're in Yunlong Heavenly Palace, not in those sects outside, yet he's using 'Master' as his title."

"Mr. Tang, which side are we betting on in this match?"

"Don't rush, wait for the challenger to appear, and let's see who exactly this person is."

After the disciple responsible for announcements spoke, the crowd below the betting table became lively, guessing who the soon-to-appear challenger was.

Registration was completed, and Lin Chen leapt onto platform number nine.

As they saw the challenger stepping forward, the crowd beneath the platform squeezed their heads, wanting to see Lin Chen's appearance and cultivation level to decide their bets.

However, when everyone's gaze fell on Lin Chen, they burst into laughter, mocking him verbally.

"Isn't it surprising, the challenger for this match is actually a Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer loser."

"With such cultivation, daring to step on the platform is ridiculous. Who does he think he is, Lin Chen?"

"Haha, looks like this match is without suspense."

"Yes, it's just a mere Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer challenging a Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer; it's obviously handing money to the bookmaker."
