Chapter 2716: Chapter 2719: Cross-Continent
Rumble—
The intense collision sounds echoed, and the entire arena was instantly shrouded in colorful radiance, the light covering the sky, even illuminating the imperial city, radiating toward the entire Inner City of Canglan.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures flew backward from the glow, quickly distancing themselves one above and one below.
Bam!
The heavy collision sound rang out as Tang Jie fiercely fell onto the arena, kneeling on one knee, the Flame Longknife vanished, his clothing in tatters.
Spurt!
Opening his mouth, he spit out a mouthful of blood. Tang Jie’s face turned ashen, his aura instantly wilting.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out as a dim, unlit long sword fell from the sky, and a figure plummeted along with it.
Whoosh!
Tang Jie leaped up, flying towards that descending figure, catching and supporting him onto the arena.
Spurt!
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his complexion incredibly pale, his clothes completely shattered, leaving only strips of fabric on his body, thankfully not exposing anything.
The strips were soaked with blood, Jiang Chen’s body covered in blood marks, deep enough to reveal bone!
"Brother Tang, you won!"
Jiang Chen turned to look at Tang Jie, giving a faint smile, his aura extremely weak, evidently heavily injured!
"Brother Jiang, I yield! I truly yield! Fortunately, I resisted the urge to conserve my strength at the last moment; otherwise, I’d have been down!"
Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen full of admiration.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, turning to look at Si Huang’er below the stage: "Little Princess, I concede this battle!"
Though Si Wenkang was also present, the host of this duel was ultimately Si Huang’er.
"Alright! The challenge is over, Jiang Chen is defeated! Tang Jie, you can decide whether Jiang Chen can enter the Canglan Realm!"
Si Huang’er softly spoke.
"Of course he enters; if Brother Jiang isn’t qualified, who is!"
Tang Jie shouted aloud.
The younger generation fell silent; if Tang Jie had said this before the battle, they certainly wouldn’t have agreed. But after watching Jiang Chen’s talent and combat power, they remained silent yet held immense admiration for him.
"From now on, don’t say I’m invincible in the same realm. Under the same realm... I am not as good as him!"
Yue Muchen spoke mildly, the surrounding people glanced at him, all silently agreeing.
In the same realm, no one compares!
"Jiang Chen, cultivate speedily; I’ll wait for you in the Void Refinement Realm region on the Extraterritorial Battlefield!"
Yue Muchen spoke loudly.
"Okay!"
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Stop babbling, heal quickly; otherwise entering the Canglan Realm with injuries means losing many advantages."
Tang Jie advised, supporting Jiang Chen with one hand while extending the other, absorbing the fallen Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon into his hand.
Si Wenkang and others smiled upon hearing.
Whoosh!
A flash, and Tang Jie helped Jiang Chen leap off the arena, finding a secluded spot to change clothes, returning to the arena’s edge to sit cross-legged and take elixirs to regulate his breath.
The battles on the stage continued, with several top Divine Infant Realm cultivators challenging, some winning and losing, yet no one stripped others of their qualifications to enter the Canglan Realm.
The Divine Infant Realm selected six cultivators to enter the Canglan Realm, alongside those from various Royal Mansions, totaling over twenty people.
Next was the Void Refinement Realm, during which Zhang Sanfeng dominated, though not as stunning as Jiang Chen. But when he defeated the combined forces of Feng Xuan’er and Gu Lin with one sword, he secured the title of foremost in the Void Refinement Realm in this place, potentially achieving a top-five finish in the final contest.
Zhang Sanfeng’s victory also cast a shadow over Pang Lie, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen, who was healing by the arena. If it weren’t for Jiang Chen, Zhang Sanfeng might have represented him!
The Void Refinement Realm battles ended quickly, including those from each Royal Mansion, over thirty people qualified to enter the Canglan Realm.
When the Unity Realm Stage battles began, Si Wenkang once again moved the arena into another space, seemingly folded, visible to those outside but without the Qi Force transmitting out.
The Unity Realm Stage battles proceeded slower, though not overly lengthy; everyone avoided fighting to the death, aiming to seize some opportunities, not delaying the final contest a week later.
As the Unity Realm Stage battles concluded, Jiang Chen and Tang Jie completed their initial healing. Though they fought with their utmost strength, they avoided injuring each other’s foundations. Such wounds were trivial before Grandmaster Jiang Chen’s alchemic prowess, a few elixirs, and Tang Jie revived with vigor.
"You fellow, so strong in arrays, and alchemy too, treating these four-pattern six-grade elixirs like common meals, you’re truly extravagant!"
Feeling his strength slightly enhanced post-healing, Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen speechlessly.
Fed dozens of elixirs by Jiang Chen, he accepted without hesitation, not doubting Jiang Chen would harm him, nor checking the type of elixir; he ate whatever was given. It wasn’t until after consuming them that he realized, the value exceeded a million High Grade Spirit Stones, enough to buy an ordinary pseudo-Dao artifact if exchanged for Dao Source Beads.
"My insights after our duel are profound; no need to mind!"
Jiang Chen smiled as he spoke.
This battle brought him great benefits; besides the fight against the Semi-Saint on the Abandoned Plains, he rarely had equal battles—the opponents were either too weak or too strong. This battle clarified his current strength tremendously.
Whoosh!
As they chatted, a light glow flew in—a crystal-like Jade Dew.
"Don’t use this item casually; on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, all are of the same realm; use it sparingly for killing. Remember, external power remains external; internal strength is fundamental.
Once on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, breakthrough fast, enhance your strength; hope you reach the Unity Realm Stage upon leaving. I am aware of your matters; upon leaving the battlefield, follow the drunk to train somewhere for a while, using the Intercontinental Transmission Array once.
Of course, this requires trading sufficient military exploits; without them, don’t expect any backdoor favor!"
Si Wenkang’s voice transmitted straight to Jiang Chen’s mind.
Intercontinental Transmission!?
Jiang Chen’s whole body trembled, looking at Si Wenkang, eyes filled with excitement.
"Even with the transmission, I do not advise visiting the Beihan Continent; frankly, people there are rather exclusive, progress will be hard. Begin at the Origin Continent.
Those eleven forces that attacked the Life Origin Star, leveraged to annihilate the Sea Tribe and Dark Church, with the Holy Court’s people being wanted—most of the other eight forces are in the Origin Continent, the head of the Holy Court seemed to have returned as well.
Handle these first; avoid the Beihan Continent without reaching the Saint stage."
