Seeing Little Provincial Princess’s confident demeanor, Ye Chen also smiled and felt at ease.
The most indifferent within the crowd were the people from Divine Miao Peak.
The leading Divine Venerable of Divine Miao Peak didn’t even bother to explain anything to the ten True God maidens he had brought for the assessment.
And those ten True God maidens weren’t worried at all, just quietly waiting for the time to enter the assessment land to come.
The six-star Sovereign in charge of presiding over this assessment of the nine major divine institutes seemed to specifically leave some time to let the various Divine Venerables give their juniors some final advice.
After waiting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he finally spoke, "Alright, now, the first round of the grand elimination begins!"
"All True Gods who have received the participation tokens for the inspection of the nine great divine institutes, take out your tokens. I will distribute ’Protective Talismans’ to safeguard you, and then, you will be teleported into the ancient battlefield to start the assessment!"
Hearing the words of this six-star Sovereign, the tens of millions of True Gods in the arena took out their assessment tokens.
Ye Chen flipped his hand, and a token engraved with the image of nine mountain ranges appeared in his palm.
Looking at the token for the assessment of the nine divine institutes, Ye Chen recalled the events that took place in the Undersea Divine Palace.
It was in the Undersea Divine Palace where he obtained the Eye of the Divine Sea and then received this assessment token.
At that time, the old man Bitu told Ye Chen he hoped Ye Chen could use this token to join any of the nine divine institutes, and if he could join the Supreme Divine Institute, that would be truly excellent.
Now, not only did Ye Chen want to join the Supreme Divine Institute, but he also aimed to compete for first place in the assessment of the nine divine institutes.
The vicissitudes of life couldn’t help but make Ye Chen feel contemplative.
After swiftly recalling the various memories of the Undersea Divine Palace, Ye Chen looked up, his eyes shining brightly at the six-star Sovereign.
Since the assessment of the nine divine institutes was about to begin,
Let’s confront it with earnest!
As Ye Chen looked at this six-star Sovereign, the tens of millions of True Gods who had taken out their assessment tokens also turned their gaze toward him.
It was then that the six-star Sovereign brought out a glittering golden token, pinching a magic formula with both hands. The golden token burst into the void.
What followed was an unbelievable scene.
The golden token kept spinning in the void, astonishingly shooting out one small token after another.
As soon as these small tokens appeared, they flew towards the tens of millions of True Gods in the arena holding assessment tokens.
These small tokens were precisely the ’Protective Talismans’ the six-star Sovereign spoke of, which could help the assesses withstand a life-or-death attack during the examination!
When Ye Chen received the Protective Talisman in his hand and looked up again at the golden token floating in the void, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
This golden token, capable of transforming into tens of millions of Protective Talismans, was simply an astonishment to the extreme!
Most likely, this golden token was an unbelievable item from the heavens!
Ye Chen had two things related to heavenly items on him.
One was the "Star Blue Divine Garment" forged from the embryonic form of a heavenly item, and the other was the genuine heavenly item "Blue Extreme Iceflame" hidden within his dantian!
Just as Ye Chen was about to scrutinize this golden token, which was very probably a heavenly item, the little Protective Talisman he had just received in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding light, enveloping his entire being within it.
Suddenly, Ye Chen knew that the moment to enter the assessment land had arrived!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Indeed, just like Ye Chen, the others who received Protective Talismans also had their talismans emitting blinding light, enveloping them incrementally.
In the end, all fifty million True Gods participating in the assessment of the nine divine institutes were shrouded in light.
Then, with a sudden loud "hum," those fifty million True Gods all turned into streaks of light flying towards the distant, sealed assessment land—the shattered ancient battlefield!
When they saw that the True Gods had finally officially started the assessment, the hundreds of millions of martial artists remaining in the venue also became solemn.
They knew that the results of the assessment would start to emerge bit by bit!
At this moment, the most prestigious Northern Territory King in the venue waved his hand, and a giant screen suddenly appeared above the heavens.
This huge screen even projected the entire assessment land completely.
As long as one’s divine sense entered the screen, one could even see every detail of the assesses during the assessment!
With a flip of his hand, he arranged the spatial projection.
The projection of the void actually synced with the scenes of the assessment field!
This mighty divine power was truly astonishing!
However, everyone was too preoccupied to be shocked by the Northern Territory King’s divine power as they immersed their divine senses into the screen, seeking out the assesses they cared about.
The East Territory King in the screen was looking for the Little Provincial Princess, Ye Chen, and the various True Gods from the East Territory King Mansion.
The Southern Territory King was concerned about the True Gods from the Southern Territory King Mansion being assessed.
Then there were the four major forces, the capitals of divine nations, other Territory King Mansions, and Great Powers of Loose Cultivators...
Everyone was engrossed in observing the assessments of the assesses.
After setting up the spatial screen, the Northern Territory King exchanged a glance with Sovereign Xuechen; their divine eyes barely probed before focusing on one figure.
This figure was none other than Ye Chen, who had just been teleported into the First Ancient Battlefield!
...
The First Ancient Battlefield was a vast and desolate expanse of heaven and earth.
This realm was so immense that even if Ye Chen’s lower realm’s thirty-three continents and the Minor Spirit Realm were added together, it would still dwarf them by a considerable margin!
The sky of this realm was even more bizarre, as it displayed an eerie blood color.
Boom!
A figure emerged amidst divine light and landed squarely in a particular spot on the western side of the First Ancient Battlefield.
This figure, adorned in the garb of Divine Dragon Mountain, was startlingly a True God of Divine Dragon Mountain.
"The Lord said we should first assemble at ’Qi Blood Mountain’ in the First Ancient Battlefield, then use my cultivated ’Snow Wheel Divine Eye’ to find Ye Chen’s traces and kill him and eliminate him from the competition!"
"For now, let’s meet up with the others!"
After muttering to himself, the True God surveyed his surroundings, discerned the direction, and sped through the void towards the eastern part of the ancient battlefield.
Like this True God, the several hundred True Gods of Divine Dragon Mountain who had entered the First Ancient Battlefield, though scattered in various locations, all converged towards the same direction once they settled.
As the members of Divine Dragon Mountain prepared to unite and confront Ye Chen, the other True Gods who had been transmitted to the First Ancient Battlefield also began to take action.
Some were directly seeking hidden places, preparing to conceal themselves well during these seven days, so they wouldn’t be killed by others.
Others, with a glint in their eye and a cold smile, started sensing the presence of others, ready to begin eliminating the other examinees.
And as tens of millions of examinees were transported to the First Ancient Battlefield, the entire ancient battlefield suddenly shook with a thunderous noise.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
Afterward, as if a hidden gate had opened, a torrent of True God level and lower God King level ancient beasts and monstrous creatures flew out from the blood-colored sky above the ancient battlefield, shooting towards different parts of the battlefield.
The first day of the ancient beast hunting trial for examinees had officially begun!
While the undercurrents surged throughout the entire First Ancient Battlefield, Ye Chen was sitting serenely on top of a giant mountain within the ancient battlefield.
The first round of massive elimination, a seven-day trial.
Ye Chen truly had no interest in eliminating a hundred opponents directly to advance into the next zone.

After all, Ye Chen knew that for many True Gods who came to take the exam, opportunities did not come by easily.
If others didn’t initiate conflict with him, Ye Chen wouldn’t go out of his way to confront others and cause them to lose their chance at the trial.
Since the first round of the trial didn’t involve ranking, it was sufficient just to pass safely.
What Ye Chen had in mind was to cultivate in peace on this giant mountain where he had been transported, and smoothly get through the seven days of the trial.
If someone attacked him during this time, he wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
As for the attack of the monstrous ancient beasts, Ye Chen wasn’t too concerned about it either.
"This Ye Chen..."
"Just sitting there like that? He’s not planning to hunt down the other examinees?"
Outside the trial site, many were paying attention to Ye Chen’s actions through the projection screen.
After all, Ye Chen was too famous, prompting many to involuntarily want to see how he would act.
When they saw that Ye Chen was simply sitting without taking any action, many were taken aback.
"Just sitting there, neither hiding nor actively eliminating others, this... could it be that Ye Chen has the confidence to safely pass the first round of elimination?!"
These onlookers also noticed the movements of the True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain, who were rumored to have grievances against Ye Chen.
When they saw the hundreds of True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain spread out across different regions of the First Ancient Battlefield all converging towards the same direction, and later, one of them seemingly discovered Ye Chen’s location and led these hundreds of True Gods towards where Ye Chen was, many of those watching Ye Chen gasped in shock.
"My God, those hundreds of True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain are actually moving together, all headed for Ye Chen."
"Could it be... could it be that they plan to jointly ambush Ye Chen?!"
"Good heavens, Ye Chen is just a True God of the eighth calamity. If he gets ambushed by hundreds of True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain, he would definitely be eliminated!"
"Given the enmity between Divine Dragon Mountain and Ye Chen, they will surely confront him, yet he still sits there calmly. Does Ye Chen not have any sense of vigilance, or does he have the means to confront all crises?"
"Yet, to withstand the ambush of hundreds of True Gods with Ye Chen’s level, it’s simply impossible!"
Many began to worry about Ye Chen’s safety.
Qin Yuntian, who had been closely watching the movements of the True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain, chuckled coldly when he saw Ye Chen simply sitting at the teleportation site without taking any action, while his own True Gods were swarming towards Ye Chen: "This Ye Chen must be out of his mind."
"The True Gods under my command, especially the likes of Qin Wu, could even combat Middle God Kings, let alone hundreds added together—many Upper God Kings might not be able to withstand them even if they wanted to face a hundred at once!" Continue your journey on freewebnovel
"Ye Chen has no chance of escape, and yet he dares to sit so openly? He simply doesn’t know how to write the word ’death’!"
"It’s a pity that due to the Body-protecting Talisman, I can’t kill him directly, and can only eliminate him at most."
Qin Yuntian’s eyes flickered.
"Hmph, let’s eliminate him, then. Being eliminated on the very first of the three great requirements and during the first round of evaluation is embarrassing enough for him!"
Thinking of this, Qin Yuntian turned his gaze towards Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King, who had set the three requirements for Ye Chen.
However, Qin Yuntian saw that Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King were watching the projection screen with an utterly unflustered demeanor, even as they saw the host of Divine Dragon Mountain’s True Gods moving to ambush Ye Chen.
