Chapter 1565: Chapters 1512-1513 Trial Rules – The Foreseeable Fierce Battle_2 Chapter 1565: Chapters 1512-1513 Trial Rules – The Foreseeable Fierce Battle_2 Don't be fooled by the small number of True Immortals in the world today, but compared to the rarity of True Immortals, the number of supreme-strong-level warriors can be said to be disastrously abundant. To say “Supreme Overlords are everywhere, Supreme Strong are as common as dogs” might be an exaggeration, but any faction or even an ordinary immortal sect without a thousand Supreme Strong cannot be called an immortal sect.
Just in the Divine Continent World, those top immortal sects, each of their forces has more than ten thousand Supreme Strong. Even the Shenxiao Sect has over ten thousand Supreme Strong, and if you count the other branches of the Shenxiao Lineage, this number easily doubles.
In this way, one can know just how astronomically high the numbers of the Supreme Strong within the Divine Continent World must be.
Moreover, it must be clear that this time, the participants in the Myriad Laws Realm trial are not limited to the strong warriors of the Divine Continent World but also include all the worlds known by the Heavenly Court across the entirety of the Chaos Void. Pei Xuanjing welcomes warriors from these worlds without refusal, as long as they wish to participate.
In ten thousand years, the strong warriors of the Divine Continent World have set foot in countless expanses of the Chaos Void and found many worlds. Many of these worlds have already merged into the Divine Continent World, but the number of those that exist is beyond reckoning.
These worlds may be strong or weak, and the strong warriors of the True Immortal level might not be numerous, but it is certain that there will be no lack of warriors at the Supreme Strong level.
In these countless worlds, even if each world had only one Supreme Strong-level cultivator, the total would still be an immensely large number, let alone the possibility of there being only one in each world.
For those weaker worlds, producing a Supreme Strong-level warrior is very difficult, but for the stronger worlds, like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's Second-rate World, let alone one Supreme Strong, they could even have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Considering all this, one can imagine how many Supreme Strong might appear here to participate in the Myriad Laws Realm trial.
And this is not even the final number. It should be noted that even as the initiator, the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing only stipulated that warriors above the True Immortal level could not participate, but he did not say that only warriors of the Supreme Strong level could join. If some cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eighth Layer wish to join, they would not be refused either.
If the number of Supreme Strong is many times that of the True Immortals, then the number of Spirit Realm Eighth Layer cultivators would be many times that of the Supreme Strong.
And one should never assume that a Supreme Strong is necessarily stronger than a Spirit Realm Eighth Layer cultivator; after all, even the gap between True Immortals and Supreme Strong can be bridged, let alone the difference between Supreme Strong and Spirit Realm Eighth Layer.
For many Spirit Realm Eighth Layer cultivators, since they dare to participate, each one is not weak and also has their own unique trump card, even capable of suppressing existences at the level of Supreme Strong.
Such warriors might not be much to the Supreme Overlord-level, but to the ordinary Supreme Strong, they are a significant threat.
Therefore, when it was announced that the first round of selection would only choose ten thousand, it was enough to shock many strong warriors. Selecting ten thousand from countless individuals, one can imagine how intense and bloody the competition would be.
And as the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing continued to announce the following rules, they realized that they had underestimated the cruelty of the trial — there was no “most” cruelty, only “more” cruelty.
“And among those entering the second round, the top one thousand ranked will receive a gift from me and can directly bypass the second round to advance to the third round, while the remaining ninety-nine thousand will compete against each other for the last nine thousand spots, vying for a chance in the third round.”
Pei Xuanjing's words echoed once more, and these words shocked countless strong warriors even more. Many of them thought to themselves, “Indeed, this Longevity Taoist Monarch is not to be trifled with, leaving no loopholes and aiming to select the strongest existences!”
Selecting one hundred thousand from countless individuals was nearly impossible for the majority of contenders, as it required them to exert all their strength just for the possibility of squeezing into the top one hundred thousand and securing a spot in the second round.
But for another group of strong contenders, it was a breeze to rank in the top one hundred thousand and grab the ticket to the second round; they didn't need to put in any effort at all.
Therefore, this group of contenders didn't reveal their abilities during the first round of trials, or to put it another way, they didn't easily disclose their trump cards, often choosing to conceal their power.
However!
The Longevity Taoist Monarch seemed to have anticipated this; he expected that the rule he set, though seemingly strict, actually didn't require much effort for those truly top contenders.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing decided to throw out a lure, which was that contenders who ranked in the top thousand not only could bypass the second round of the competition but also receive a reward from the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
What a tantalizing and exciting proposition. The top one thousand would get a bye, advancing directly to the final competition, with the remaining ninety-nine thousand vying for nine thousand spots.
This was telling all the contenders not to assume the second round would be simple; in fact, selecting ten thousand from one hundred thousand seemed like reducing the numbers, fewer than before.
But in reality, the competition was going to be much more intense. Previously, with one hundred thousand spots available, though it seemed crowded, in reality, only a very few were truly qualified to vie for the top ranks, and there weren't many who could pose a threat. For these strong contenders, it seemed like a large competition, but in fact, their hopes of advancing were high; they held a winning hand.
But if it came to the second round, it was completely different because the mode of advancement selection had changed drastically.
It was not longer the type of hunt-and-accumulate points system, but rather a one-on-one battle in the arena, meaning that each contender looking to advance was obliged to fight consecutively in unavoidable combat.
Being able to stand out from countless strong contenders and enter the second round's one hundred thousand meant there were no weak ones among them; each was at least a peak existence within their own realm. Under such circumstances, apart from a few individuals, even the most confident contenders couldn't believe they could make it all the way without revealing their trump cards.
Even if the beginning felt easy, as they advanced, the opponents they would encounter were bound to become increasingly numerous and powerful. In such a case, their trump cards would inevitably be revealed and studied by others for potential exploitation.
In fact, upon reflecting, from the moment they participated in these trials, it implied that their trump cards would inevitably be exposed and subject to others' understanding and study; it was merely a matter of sooner or later.
Since this was the attitude of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, it undoubtedly spurred their competition, not allowing them to keep their secrets hidden, forcing them to fight for the top ranks, and reminding them that securing a spot in the top one hundred thousand didn't mean they could rest easy.
In light of such a situation, the various parties weren't really opposed, as they'd already mentally prepared when they chose to engage in these trials. If anyone truly didn't want to expose their trump cards, then they needn't have participated.
On the contrary, having already joined, they needn't worry, for after all, their methods were originally intended to be used against strong contenders of the same realm; if not now, when?
Furthermore, the Longevity Taoist Monarch had gone out of his way to offer something, making it even less necessary for these strong contenders to resist.
