At this ti, the first round of other matches was also reaching its conclusion.
Strong players like Ao Yang and Profound Sea passed easily and smoothly.
After this round, more than sixty of the 120-plus Quasi-Emperors in the fourth group were eliminated.
The other three groups were similar; those favored before the match basically didn’t encounter much trouble.
The only exception was Wu Gai, the Quasi-Emperor from the Profound Turtle Race.
With his power, breaking into the top 32 wasn’t out of the question.
After all, he was under the command of the Profound Turtle Emperor, with a strong bloodline talent.
But unfortunately, he encountered Qi Sheng from the Mo Lin Race in the first round.
The Mo Lin Race is an Ancient Royal Race equal to the Azure Dragon Race. Qi Sheng, as a top expert within the Qilin Race Quasi-Emperors, has a much stronger foundation than Wu Gai.
In this battle, Qi Sheng won effortlessly,
while Wu Gai suffered trendously.
Not only was he eliminated in the first round, but he also sustained serious injuries, with his thick turtle shell cracked.
This shocked the demons below, leaving them unable to comprehend.
In their understanding, weren’t the Profound Turtle Race and the Qilin Race staunch allies?
In previous tournants, the Profound Turtle Race either received care or cooperated to help the Qilin Race reach the top.
Why would it turn out like this this ti?
The Demon Emperors above knew clearly that this was intentionally arranged.
Just recently, the Profound Turtle Emperor injured Qi ng, and the Qilin Race imdiately retaliated by arranging for Qi Sheng, who could reach the top three in the finals, to face Wu Gai in the first round.
The purpose was obvious, to beat Wu Gai and avenge the Profound Turtle Race.
If it weren’t for the inherently strong defenses of the Profound Turtle Race, he might have ended up in the dying state of Que Mi Quasi-Emperor earlier.
"Qilin Race, I am irreconcilable with you!
After this battle, the Profound Turtle Emperor’s hatred for the Qilin Race deepened.
After this round ended, the second round of matches soon followed.
Brother Cheng appeared in the bubble again.
The Sparrow Race’s ’cheerleaders’ below did not disappoint him and began to cheer vigorously.
"Azure Dragon Emperor, invincible in battle!"
"Azure Dragon Emperor, win from the start!"
"Azure Dragon Emperor is so handso..."
"Great Emperor, Great Emperor, I love you..."
These chirping and singing voices weren’t just shouting; they also brought out a bunch of instrunts and demon technique effects.
It made all the demon race below unable to help but look over.
This was too showy, wasn’t it?
But when they saw Brother Cheng’s opponent, a commotion erupted.
"Golden Thread Insect from the Insect Race, late-stage Quasi-Emperor!"
"A top expert in the Insect Race with talent and power second only to the Wanshi Demon Emperor!"
"Damn, the Azure Dragon Emperor is dood this ti."
"Let alone early-stage Quasi-Emperor, even regular late-stage Quasi-Emperor has no solution against Golden Thread Insect, whose tactics are all-pervasive..."
"Indeed, Golden Thread Insect’s opponent last round was Silver Wolf Quasi-Emperor, who was quite strong, but his demon body got pierced with hundreds of holes, miserably unbearable. He hasn’t woken up yet."
Even the Sparrow Race cheerleaders couldn’t help but pause.
This opponent was truly despairing.
The Elder Canglong watching the match had a grave look, his worry evident.
A hundred billion years ago, he had faced Golden Thread Insect; though he won, he was slightly injured.
This was a fierce general from the Qilin Camp!
Without surprise, the other side couldn’t successfully humiliate Cang Cheng in the first round, so they directly sent top experts to crush him in this round.
At the top-level hall, the Cyan Dragon Emperor shook his head, already too lazy to criticize this deliberate arrangent.
Never mind, losing is losing.
Golden Thread Insect has the power to break into the top 16.
Even if Profound Sea faced him, winning would be uncertain.
anwhile, Emperor Mo Lin and Wanshi Demon Emperor from the Insect Race glanced at each other and simultaneously showed a knowingly smile.
The latter looked coldly at the distant bubble and murmured, "Golden Thread Insect’s actions are always unrestrained; the Azure Dragon Race might have to replace their Great Emperor from now on."
Seeing their blatant manner, the Cyan Dragon Emperor couldn’t help but angrily shout: "The match is not supposed to be life-threatening!"
The opposite Emperor Yulin replied indifferently: "If skills are inferior, even death is deserved."
He wanted this effect, ensuring that Cang Cheng wouldn’t live!
"Exactly."
Wanshi Demon Emperor sneered: "Who told you to send soone so weak? Should I make Golden Thread Insect deliberately seal part of his power to take care of him?"
As they discussed, Brother Cheng was also observing the opponent across.
Golden Thread Insect appeared outwardly rely as a long, thin golden thread.
The entire line coiled around, potentially spanning over a thousand miles.
However, beyond that, no head or other parts could be discerned.
If not for sensing the breath of life, Brother Cheng might have directly mistaken him for a large spool of thread.
"Don’t bla if you die."
"Bla yourself for opposing the Qilin Emperor."
A loud crowing voice, entirely unfitting for the thread-like form, ca from the opposite direction.
"I will treat you well."
Brother Cheng regretfully shrugged.
"With your appearance, there’s no pride in defeating you, hardly any sense of achievent."
In the dark, Cang Ling’s residual thought couldn’t help but transmit a reminder to him, cautioning him to be careful.
"Golden Thread Insect is extrely dangerous."
"This race claims to be all-pervasive; there’s nothing they can’t penetrate."
"And at this late-stage Quasi-Emperor level, your demon body likely can’t block his infiltration."
"Additionally, never attempt to cut or smash him."
Brother Cheng was curious: "Why?"
"When Golden Thread Insect is cut, he becos nurous parts, each with its own consciousness, making it even more difficult to guard against."
"His demon body appears fragile but is immune to freezing, burning, and lightning strikes, making him very hard to kill."
Brother Cheng raised an eyebrow: "So formidable?"
Cang Ling said gravely: "Indeed, to defeat him, you must avoid direct confrontation and continuously use the Power of the Speed Rule to maneuver around him."
"This race’s biggest flaw is insufficient demon power; exhaust him until he weakens..."
Before she finished speaking, the brief preparation ti for the second round ended, and the match officially began.
Brother Cheng imdiately started with an Azure Dragon Shattering Claw.
With a swipe, the Golden Thread Insect was cut innurable tis, almost turning into dust.
In the whirlwind stirred by the shattering claw, golden dust scattered in all directions.
Cang Ling almost froze in shock by this move.
"Are you crazy?"
I just reminded you not to cut him, and you went straight for a smash.
This would not kill Golden Thread Insect; instead, it divided him into... countless parts.
In such circumstances, it becos exponentially harder to defend against his infiltration.
Brother Cheng was still explaining to his dear sister: "I’m the Azure Dragon Emperor, how can I keep retreating and maneuvering?"
"Cautiously avoiding harm and waiting for the opponent’s exhaustion isn’t fit for our Great Emperor’s mighty image?"
"Mighty image, my foot!"
All because of such ridiculous reasoning?
Cang Ling nearly spat blood from anger.
And the demons watching were in an uproar, hardly daring to believe Brother Cheng would do such a thing.
