Hall Master, with the strength this fellow has displayed, to kill him would likely require a Supreme. Relying solely on our forces in Chaos City, we probably cannot eliminate him. An elder beside him spoke.
Since we cannot make a move now, we shall wait until after the Peak Competition ends. The Hall Master’s icy tone was filled with killing intent.
Immediately afterwards, the Hall Master sent a message to the elder leading the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall team in Chaos City, instructing them to keep a close watch on Lin Yun.
The recent match, along with Lin Yun’s displayed strength, had not only been noted by the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall Master. The Supremes of other top forces had similarly observed it through their own viewing methods.
This included the Alliance Master of the Dao Alliance, who was also following the Peak Competition and had likewise witnessed Lin Yun’s performance.
…
In the Ancestral Heart Realm’s Chaos City, on Chaos Square.
As the competition continued, it was not long before the fifth round’s other highly anticipated showdown arrived: Heavenly Fire Divine Hall versus Azure Feather Palace.
This matchup was destined to allow only one of these two major forces to advance.
The level of attention on this battle was equally extremely high.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands, the fight erupted on the arena.
Both sides engaged in an extremely fierce battle, sacrificing their origin artefacts. The contest was intensely close-fought, and in the end, Heavenly Fire Divine Hall won by a narrow margin. Both sides suffered heavy injuries, and Heavenly Fire Divine Hall’s victory could be described as extraordinarily hard-won.
Azure Feather Palace was thus regrettably eliminated.
After the fifth round concluded, the top sixteen of the Peak Competition were fully determined.
The time had reached one o’clock in the afternoon.
After allowing everyone half an hour to rest and recover, the sixth round of the Peak Competition officially began.
The upcoming sixth round was the advancement from sixteen to eight. One could say the Peak Competition had reached a white-hot stage, an extremely tense and intense phase.
In this round, only some of the remaining contestants from the Dao Alliance and the six major forces were destined to advance.
After all, there were only eight advancement spots.
The sixteen who had advanced from the previous round gathered once more at the drawing area below the stage.
Compared to the crowded scene at the start of the Peak Competition when hundreds gathered around the drawing platform, these dozen or so people now appeared very sparse.
Everyone could clearly see one another.
These sixteen were absolutely the most elite existences among the Harmony Realm.
Among them were the Young Lord of the Underworld Palace, the contestant from Dark Night Hall, the contestant from Star Poison Sect, the contestant from God-Slaying Gate, the contestant from Dual Venerable Pavilion, the contestant from Void Clan, the contestant from Silent Moon Valley, and the contestant from Dugu Clan.
They occupied nine seats.
Apart from these nine and Lin Yun, the remaining six were mostly already renowned in the ancestral land. Although they were not from the Dao Alliance or the six major forces, to reach this stage, they basically all possessed extremely powerful methods.
Of course, these six were able to advance partly because in the fifth round, they had not encountered contestants from the Dao Alliance or the six major forces.
In this Peak Competition so far, Lin Yun was the only one who had faced a top-force contestant and still advanced.
Lin Yun had undoubtedly become the dark horse of this Peak Competition.
The drawing began again.
In this round, Dark Night Hall drew Star Poison Sect. Both belonged to the six major forces, yet only one was destined to advance to the top eight.
Soon it was Lin Yun’s turn. This time, Lin Yun was to actively draw his opponent.
When Lin Yun stepped forward to draw, to be honest, most of the others felt some tension and wariness.
After all, they had vividly witnessed how Lin Yun had defeated Elder Wei of the Blood Moon Alliance in the previous match. Lin Yun had struck so ruthlessly and even seized Elder Wei’s origin artefact.
Of course, there were also those confident in their own strength who felt no fear.
Lin Yun reached out, drew a bamboo stick, and on it was written Tian Jin.
Since only sixteen remained, Lin Yun naturally knew this Tian Jin. He was not a contestant from the Dao Alliance or the six major forces.
Lin Yun had also observed Tian Jin’s performance in the previous round.
Lin Yun versus Tian Jin, the staff announced.
The man named Tian Jin, with his hatchet-like face, immediately changed expression. He was clearly wary of Lin Yun.
The drawing continued. As for the Young Lord of the Underworld Palace, his opponent this round was a contestant from outside the Dao Alliance and six major forces. Naturally, he held absolute confidence.
After the drawing ended, the sixth round of the Peak Competition officially began under the gaze of tens of thousands. This round consisted of only eight matches.
The first match was Star Poison Sect versus Dark Night Hall, a clash between two top forces that belonged to the same camp.
Yet, in order to seize the championship, they would not show much restraint.
