Chapter 56: Battle for the Top 5
The Ten Temple Alliance, only eleven people remain.
Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple and Capital Star's Ao Temple each have two people left, while all from Wilton's Divine Temple are eliminated.
If one more person is eliminated, only ten will remain.
Undoubtedly, the most displeased is Wilton's Divine Temple, as they have become the biggest losers in this year's Ten Temple Alliance.
And all of this started from provoking Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple. After the last round, an elder from Wilton's Divine Temple had mocked Elder Cleo from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, leading to their targeted elimination one by one in the subsequent battles.
However, the first-ranked Charles is still in, but tragically, until the last moment, Charles still thought he could make a comeback, hoping to gain attention with Zero and Xu Mo, thinking he could at least win one match.
In the end, he was directly slain by Zero, and he didn't even showcase the strength he should have.
It is certain that Charles cannot become the true successor of the Mystic God Temple. In this Ten Temple Alliance, Wilton's Divine Temple has become the biggest loser. It should be known that Wilton's Divine Temple has always been considered relatively strong among the Mystic God Temples, with a decent track record throughout the past, making this their most miserable time.
"Old buddy." At this moment, Elder Cleo looked at the elder from Wilton's Divine Temple opposite him and called out. The elder raised his head to look, only to see Cleo squinting and smiling, saying, "Our cultivators from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple are doing well, aren't they?"
The elder from Wilton's Divine Temple heard Cleo's words, his face turning livid. This bastard intentionally came to ridicule, but he could only hold back his anger; after all, they had suffered a crushing defeat.
If it weren't for Oxso defeating Augustus, Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple's track record might have been even more glorious; perhaps all three would still be in.
"But it doesn't matter; you did well in the last round, this one isn't too great, indicating that there's still quite a change with each session. Better luck next time," Cleo 'comforted', delivering a cunning blow straight to the heart.
The last time Wilton's Divine Temple indeed performed very well, ranked among the top few Mystic God Temples.
This time, they are at the bottom.
The key is, he had no way to refute it, as they had indeed been trampled by the other side.
"Good luck to you, I believe with the strength of the last two from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple, getting into the top five shouldn't be a problem," the elder from Wilton's Divine Temple responded, knowing any reply was futile. So, he flattered, placing them in the top five.
"I can't guarantee that, for now, I'm quite satisfied, especially since you are at the bottom," Cleo said with a smile, squinting his eyes, another sharp blow to the heart, making the other person's face turn green and white; they finally said nothing more. With the situation as it was, saying more was pointless; facing a comeback from the opponent, there was nothing more to say.
With no further response from the other side, Cleo also stopped the mocking, finally feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction.
As for how far Xu Mo and Zero can go, he's quite looking forward to it. For now, they are guaranteed at least one spot in the top ten, Cleo thought, at worst one in the top ten, one in the top five, right?
If both are in the top five, that would be a huge win.
Although the Ten Temple Alliance doesn't rank them, being among the last ones remaining is, in a way, a symbol of strength; otherwise, they would have been arranged by now. There are no easy roles here, and if you're weak, you won't be let off easily.
Only one person is left before the top ten.
And so, another quiet moment ensued.
No one wants to take risks at this time, especially since earlier, Xu Mo and Zero have proven their strength, Zero defeating the first from Wilton's Divine Temple and showcasing his strength.
So, who can still be challenged?
The second from Capital Star's Ao Temple?
No one dares to provoke that person lightly. Although Oxso is recognized as the first, the second-ranked Han Zhao is also an extraordinarily powerful existence, whose pure strength attack power might even surpass Oxso's.
Who dares to provoke such a presence?
Seeing no one coming forward, Han Zhao stood up and walked into the battlefield.
Like Oxso, he doesn't care about how many people from Capital Star's Ao Temple enter the top ten now; anyway, only the last two are left, worse than the last time's record.
So, might as well have a good fight.
Han Zhao's entrance made the top-ranked people from various Mystic God Temples tense up again. Who would he choose?
"Since there are only two left on each side, let's have second against second." Han Zhao looked over to the side of Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple and said, "I challenge Zero."
Han Zhao chose Zero.
The second-ranked from two great Mystic God Temples, a showdown.
If he wins, he can continue to face Xu Mo; if he loses, it all goes to Oxso.
With Oxso as the finale, he has no worries; as long as first place belongs to their Capital Star's Ao Temple, it's fine.
Oxso glanced at Han Zhao. Challenging Zero is actually somewhat risky. Zero specializes in spiritual attacks, and Han Zhao might not withstand it.
If Han Zhao loses, Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple will surpass their Capital Star's Ao Temple, becoming the only one with two people entering the top ten.
Reality also proved Oxso's concern to be justified; Zero and Han Zhao erupted in a violent battle. This time, Zero was forced to use even more violent attacks, stronger than before. It seemed he didn't even use his full strength when fighting the first from Wilton's Divine Temple, Charles.
This left many people feeling a bit strange.
Moreover, the final result is that Zero defeated Han Zhao.
The Ten Temple Alliance's final ten are born, and Chloe Star Mystic God Temple became the only existence with two Transcendents remaining, surpassing the Capital Star Ao Temple, a historic first.
Now, not only the Cultivators of the Top Ten Mystic God Temples, but even the elders have been quite affected.
Who would have thought that in this Ten Temple Alliance, Chloe Star Mystic God Temple would become the biggest winner so far? Becoming the only Mystic God Temple with two people in the top ten.
Ranked second from Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, Zero has consecutively defeated two people, with such Combat Power, who dares to claim certain victory besides Oxso?
Elder Cleo's face has always been radiant with a bright smile.
The top ten, two from the top ten, and they were the ones who entered Chloe Star Mystic God Temple through assessments later on, almost destroyed by those fools at Tis Palace, but they also received their punishment.
At this moment, Erin Uranos is also not calm. Xu Mo and Zero have joined forces to enter the top ten. If this news spreads outside Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, I'm afraid it will stir up a wave, and Tis Palace will be flogged by countless media.
All of this feels like a dream.
After the top ten positions were filled, the people from the various Mystic God Temples felt much freer, and some walked straight out.
The first person from Alpha Star Mystic God Temple challenged the first from Shelley Star Mystic God Temple and won.
The first person from Gamma Star Mystic God Temple challenged the first person from Pulite Mystic God Temple and won.
The first person from Scott Star Mystic God Temple challenged the first from Linsay Star Mystic God Temple and lost.
The first person from Kansas Mystic God Temple challenged Zero and still lost.
Zero won three battles.
After four battles, there are six victors remaining.
They are Oxso from Capital Star Ao Temple, Xu Mo and Zero from Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, and one person each from the three Mystic God Temples of Alpha Star, Gamma Star, and Linsay Star. These three Mystic God Temples have all produced victors among the top ten.
The two from Chloe Star not only advanced into the top ten, but are now in the top six, just one step away from the top five as the elder of Wilton Star's Aus Temple mentioned.
The Transcendents on the side of Chloe Star Mystic God Temple are all very excited, except for Gisman, whose mentality is somewhat collapsing. He didn't even make it to the top one hundred, while Xu Mo and Zero have already made it to the top six. What kind of gap is this? They are not even in the same league. He had even thought of competing with Xu Mo back then.
Even now, he still refuses to admit that Xu Mo and Zero rely on strength, believing that they are just lucky. He can only stick to this belief; otherwise, his mentality will collapse.
Of the remaining six, no one steps out, with Oxso awaiting the final challenge, and Xu Mo and Zero having no intention of challenging actively.
The other three each won a match just now, all showing extremely strong Combat Power, defeating the first from other Mystic God Temples.
After a brief standoff, the first from Gamma Star Mystic God Temple, Galman, stepped out. At this stage, a battle is inevitable.
"Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo." Galman chose Xu Mo as his opponent.
Xu Mo ranks ahead of Zero, and Zero seems easier to deal with, but the seemingly easy-to-handle Zero won all three of her previous matches.
So, is she really easy to deal with?
Galman didn't want to gamble, so he chose Xu Mo as his opponent.
Xu Mo walked out from the crowd, body floating in the air, with a serious expression.
Galman is not an easy opponent to deal with, his Combat Power is strong, very strong.
Now, there are four opponents left, none of them weak.
Galman was also very serious. As Xu Mo approached, a terrifying Source Power Storm appeared around his body, madly devouring the Source Power in the surrounding air. His body, like a bottomless pit, was at the center of the storm, roaring, with a terrifying aura emanating from him.
In fact, his body seemed to be condensed from Source Power at that moment, almost unreal.
"Screech..." A sharp noise rang out, and a Flying Sword hovered before Xu Mo. With a thought, the boundless sky, a Flying Sword instantly shot out, piercing into the Source Power Storm, and stabbed into Galman's body.
Galman, seemingly unable to block even one sword.
However, everyone was not surprised. In the previous battle, Galman had already shown his strong Superpower, the indestructible body.
Despite being pierced by the Flying Sword, Galman stood there, continuing to madly devour the surrounding Source Power, as if the sword that pierced his body had no effect on him.
"As expected," Xu Mo thought to himself. He just wanted to test it. In the previous battle, when Galman defeated the first person from Pulite Mystic God Temple, he had already shown this ability. He seemed unkillable.
Over at Gamma Star, the elder of Gamma Star's Divine Temple squinted at the battlefield. Galman had long been subject to energy radiation, and his body had already transformed, no longer simply flesh and blood.
Oxso, Xu Mo, and Zero have shown their sharpness in this Ten Temple Alliance.
Next, it should be his turn, Galman, the first from Gamma Star.
His brilliance will shine on the most important stage for newcomers of the Mystic God Temples.
