After the sacrificial ceremony ended, the Palace Master of the Qianzi Heavenly Palace, began to read out the rules of the Divine Son Contest.
In fact, the rules for every Divine Son Contest were the same, and the fifteen Divine Son candidates present had already known them by heart.
The Divine Son Scramble Battle was mainly an assessment of two things:
Battle power and potential.
Battle power referred to a cultivator’s physique and talent. In the same realm, the stronger the battle power that erupted, the more qualified one would naturally be to become a Divine Son.
Potential referred to the heights the cultivator could reach in the future.
The Blood God Altar had a total of nine floors, and the higher the Divine Son candidate climbed, the greater the potential.
A Divine Son Candidate of the Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Perfection arrived at the bottom of the Blood God Altar first, stepping on a white bone with his feet, and quickly ascended to the first level of the Blood God Altar.
This person, named Huo Xin, was the youngest of the fifteen Divine Son Candidates, and was also the man of the new generation of the Blood God Sect.
“As long as he ascends to the first level of the Blood God’s altar, Huo Xin has already succeeded in his first step, and even if he is unable to ascend to the second level of the altar, he has already proven his potential.”Sun Dadi said.
At the same time, four more divine Son candidates rushed towards the Blood God Altar.
Among them, three ascended to the first level of the Blood God Altar. Only one person failed and was unable to pass the first test.
Anyone who was able to become a Divine Son Candidate had been selected by thousands of people, but there were still people who couldn’t ascend to the first level of the Blood God Altar.
From this, it could be seen that wanting to ascend to the first level of the Blood God Altar was by no means an easy task.
Zhang Ruochen was a bit puzzled and said, “Just by ascending to the first level of the Blood God’s Altar, one would have a chance to become a Divine Son?”
Sun Da nodded and said, “Climbing the Blood God Altar is merely a test of our potential. However, there are many factors and variables that affect one’s potential. Therefore, testing potential is merely a reference.”?Zhang Ruochen said, “Battle power is the key?”
“That’s right.”?Zhang Ruochen asked again, “Then, how do you test the battle power of a Divine Son candidate?”?There was a huge difference between the cultivation levels of the Divine Son candidates, some were only at the Heavenly Extremity Realm, while others had reached the Ninth Order Half-Saint, so it was simply impossible to test the battle prowess using a two-by-two duel.
Sun Dadi said, “The power of the Blood God Altar is quite divine, and it can simulate the Spirit Void Bodies of the successive Divine Sons of the Blood God Sect. As long as a divine Son candidate, can defeat any of the divine Sons in the history of the Blood God Sect, he or she is also considered to have passed the second test.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded thoughtfully.
Sun Dadi clasped his hands in front of his chest and laughed, “Let’s go and give it a try now?”?”It’s not too late to wait a little longer.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen looked like he was in no hurry, Sun Dadi also pressed down his impatience and prepared to continue watching.
At this moment, on the first level of the Blood God Altar, there were already four Divine Son candidates standing.
One of them was none other than Bai Yu.
The four divine Son Candidates did not immediately proceed to the second examination, and all of them began to climb up to the second level of the Blood God Altar.
As long as they ascended to the second level, they would be able to further prove their potential and become even more dazzling.
However, other than Huo Xin, the other three all failed.
White Feather retreated back to the first level of the Blood God’s Altar, rather annoyed, saying, “A mere twenty-something year old brat, but he also has such strong potential.”
Huo Xin’s performance was, indeed, quite astonishing, and after ascending to the second tier of the Blood God Altar, he climbed back up to the third tier.
At the bottom of the Blood God Altar, Wei Longxing’s eyes revealed a scorching light as he stared in the direction of the Sea Spirit Seal and said, “If we don’t climb the Blood God Altar, I’m afraid that we’ll be robbed of the limelight by a junior.”?After saying this, Wei Longxing let out a long whistle and unfolded his stance like a domineering pale dragon, and in an instant, he had already climbed the first level of the Blood God Altar.
Hai Lingyin also began to climb the Blood God Altar, almost neck and neck with Wei Longxing.
The two of them were incredibly fast, and they soon ascended the second level of the Blood God Altar, catching up with Huo Xin and overtaking him.
“What a fast speed.”
Huo Xin saw Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing, who had rushed ahead, and instantly, he was shocked and felt a tremendous pressure.
Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing’s strong performance naturally caused the Blood God Sect cultivators below, all of them, to become excited.
“It is said that there are fifteen divine Son candidates, but in reality, only Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing are the true divine Son candidates.”
“The Divine Son Candidate will definitely be born between Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing, so let’s see which one of them can be more victorious?”
“It is said that Wei Longxing also participated in the last Divine Son Contest, and was only one step short of both ascending to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar. It was that one step short that Wei Longxing lost to Mei Lanzhu.”
“Mei Lanzhu was the one who drank the Great Sage Tongtian Tea, and his potential increased greatly, which is why he ascended to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar. Otherwise, how could it be his turn for the position of Divine Son.”
“It depends on whether Wei Longxing can break through himself and cross that step this time. Once he crosses over, he will also be seated as the Divine Son.”
……
While the crowd was heatedly discussing, Wei Longxing and Hai Lingyin had already ascended to the fourth level of the Blood God Altar.
The speed of the two, obviously became slow as they approached the fifth layer step by step.
Each step taken was also very difficult.
Many people felt that the critical moment had arrived, and whoever could ascend to the fifth layer, Wei Longxing and Hai Lingyin, would be the Divine Son.
Because, both of them were very powerful in battle, the second test, for them, was not too difficult. As long as they played normally, they would definitely be able to pass.
Therefore, the first test of potential was especially important.
Whoever could gain an advantage would have a greater chance of becoming a Divine Son.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar, only a few steps away.
All of the cultivators present, all of them held their breath, nervous to the extreme.
Not only them, even the saints at the top of the Blood God Altar also revealed grave expressions, paying close attention to the duo who were climbing the Blood God Altar.
In the end, Wei Longxing took the final step and successfully ascended to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar.
Success!
As he took the final step, Wei Longxing exhaled a long breath, his heart ecstatic that he had finally broken through the limits of his potential.
The fifth level of the Blood God’s altar, even when compared to those divinely gifted Divine Sons in the history of the Blood God Sect, it already belonged to the upper-middle level.
Below the Blood God Altar, a mountain of cheers and shouts rang out, Wei Longxing’s ascension to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar had caused many people to be excited.
The Blood God Sect Holy Maiden Shangguan Xianyan, also had beautiful eyes, her pupils revealed a strange luster, and she secretly said in her heart, “Wei Longxing seems to be even stronger than Mei Lanzhu, being able to break through the limits of one’s own potential is proof of infinite potential in the future.”
Comparatively speaking, Mei Lanzhu had only ascended to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar because she had swallowed the Great Sage Tongtian Tea, so invariably, she was already a step weaker than Wei Longxing.
However, without waiting for Wei Longxing to be happy for long, Hai Lingyin unexpectedly also ascended to the fifth level of the Blood God Altar and stood opposite Wei Longxing.
Hai Lingyin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, smiled, and said, “It seems that we will not be able to determine the winner until the second test. Who, in the end, will become a divine son in the end?”
“That will depend on who has stronger battle prowess in the same realm.”
Wei Longxing carried a powerful confidence as he confronted Hai Lingyin.
Below the altar, Sun Dadi stroked his chin and said, “Both of them are not simple, possessing the qualifications of a Saint King, and there is even a slight possibility of them impacting the Great Saint realm. In the past, to be able to give birth to a person of such caliber was already a sign of prosperity.”
“A great era has come, and every great power is filled with geniuses.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Ji Shui performed her body technique and transformed into a slender blood shadow, appearing behind Zhang Ruochen and Sun Dadi, and said in a cold voice, “What are the two of you still muttering about, not going to climb the Blood God Altar, could it be that you want to give up on competing for the Divine Sons?”
Of the fifteen Divine Son candidates, only Zhang Ruochen and Sun Dadi were left to start climbing the Blood God Altar.
Sun Dadi stared back and when he saw Ji Shui’s true face, his eyes immediately shone with smoothness and long spittle flowed out from the corners of his mouth as he said, “Truly a goddess ……”
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised in the slightest and just smiled faintly at Ji Shui, then, pulling on Sun Dadi, he walked towards the Blood God Altar.
Seeing the strong performance of Wei Longxing and the Sea Spirit Seal, Ji Shui did not hold much hope for Zhang Ruochen.
However, since he had comprehended the Blood God Diagram, he said that he might not necessarily still have that slight chance of creating a miracle.
The reason why Ji Shui had revealed his true face before the Divine Son Contest was actually also the intention of Dharma King Hai Mei.
After all, Dharma King Hai Mei knew that Gu Lin Feng was very greedy for beauty, so using Ji Shui to stimulate him might not necessarily inspire him to have greater potential.
Zhang Ruochen and Sun Dadi walked side by side, climbing up to the first level of the Blood God Altar without slowing down or rushing.
The moment he stepped on the Blood God Altar with his first step, Zhang Ruochen felt a hidden pressure.
That oppressive force was somewhat marvelous, as if it was suppressing both the cultivator’s physical body and the cultivator’s spirit.
“That oppressive force, it doesn’t seem to be very strong.”Zhang Ruochen appeared relaxed, easily dissolving the oppressive force from the Blood God Altar.
Sun Dadi also appeared relaxed, ascending to the first level of the Blood God Altar at the same time as Zhang Ruochen.
At this moment, on the first level of the altar, there were already nine Divine Son candidates.
After seeing Zhang Ruochen, Bai Yu let out a cold smile, “I really didn’t expect that you could actually ascend to the first level of the Blood God Altar as well.”?Zhang Ruochen ignored him and marched towards the second level of the Blood God Altar.
“Unconscionable, actually trying to ascend to the second level.”
A disdainful look appeared in White Feather’s eyes, not believing that Gu Linfeng would be able to ascend to the second level of the Blood God Altar at all, only thinking that, he would soon retreat back again.
One had to know that the vast majority of the Divine Son candidates, all of them stayed at the first level.
The only candidates who had ascended to the second level, so far, were Hai Lingyin, Wei Longxing, and Huo Xin.
However, after waiting for a long time, Bai Yu didn’t see Gu Linfeng retreating back, and at that moment, he became a little nervous.
Thus, he looked above the altar, only to see that Zhang Ruochen and that red-haired monkey had both already ascended to the second level of the altar.
“How is that possible?”
Bai Yu couldn’t believe his eyes.
All along, he had always thought that he was more outstanding than Zhang Ruochen, how could he withstand such a blow?
At this moment, the gazes of the vast majority of people were all fixed on the fifth level of the altar, focusing on Hai Lingyin’s and Wei Longxing’s every move, and did not realize that there were two more candidates, ascending to the second level of the altar.
It wasn’t until Zhang Ruochen and Sun Dadi ascended to the third tier of the Blood God Altar that someone finally spotted them and exclaimed, “Look, you guys, someone has ascended to the third tier of the Blood God Altar and is climbing towards the fourth tier.”
