Qin Lie picked up the unconscious Xia Feng and threw him out of the stage like a dead dog, his voice resonating with power, "Whoever disagrees, can fight in the stage, regardless of whether you are Direct Vein or disciples from other sects, I will accept it all!"

A bastard that the Duke Palaces picked up actually spoke such arrogant words and issued a challenge to the young disciples of the entire Duke Palaces. Whether it was the disciples from the other or the disciples from the Earth Veins, both of them were in a small uproar.

"With only trash like you, you dare to challenge everyone? I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word 'dead', right?"

"That's right. I don't think he will be able to even make it through tomorrow's competition."

At that moment, many of the disciples from the other factions clamored, and threatened to use even more cruel methods to teach Qin Lie a lesson.

However, in regards to Qin Lie's arrogance, the Direct Vein disciples did not take it to heart, and only treated it as a joke.

"I'll do it!" Amongst the disciples from the other factions, one of them had high battle intent, standing below the stage, he coldly looked at Qin Lie. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that this person had a robust physique and a tall stature. His face was as young and tender as a teenager's, and he held a incomparably sharp saber in his hand.

Seeing that the Xia Hou Zun was about to make a move, one of the protectors immediately berated: "Don't mess around, if you want to compete in the stage, then go draw lots and queue up.

"Hmph, I hope you don't touch me, otherwise I will let you lie down!" Xia Hou Zun sneered and disappeared from the view of the crowd.

"This guy isn't that old, but he has quite the manner of speaking." Another person from the side spoke, but it was a woman. Her silver hair was extremely resplendent, just like the stars in the sky.

She was Xia Ruoxi, very young, and even younger than Qin Lie.

When Xia Ruoxi was young, she fell into a dangerous place with nine nether regions. It was a cave, pitch black and cold. However, Xia Ruoxi survived and instead obtained a mysterious piece of white bone. After fusing with this bone, Xia Ruoxi's hair also became silvery-white.

The Duke Palace's Kung Fu Hall Protector had also studied the origin of that bone before, but it could not do so because the bone was too mysterious. The bone was sparkling and translucent, and carried a kind of profound aura of the Great Way.

It was this bone that allowed Xia Ruoxi to soar into the sky. In the past, she was not present in the competition because she was not yet fourteen, but now that she had obtained the qualifications to participate in the competition, in the eyes of the people next to her, she might suddenly become the top young warrior of the Duke Palaces!

The direct daughter of the Demon Suppressing King, Xia Menglan, was still a legend of the Duke Palaces. All these years, she had already been a core disciple of the Ten Ancient Sects, so what kind of scene would it be like if she made a move?

All the disciples were filled with anticipation.

"Qin Lie wins!"

"Qin Lie wins!"

"Qin Lie wins!"

On the side of the stage, Qin Lie easily defeated his opponent in a few rounds, stepped on the stage without saying a word, and stepped off the stage without saying a word. This kind of behavior caused many disciples to tremble with fear, and they looked at Qin Lie with reverence.

After over ten rounds of competition, there were gradually ten people who entered the finals. Qin Lie could be considered to have blandly entered into the top ten.

After the end of today's Family Competition, Qin Lie sat cross-legged in the courtyard with an extremely serious expression, constantly cultivating his Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration.

The experts of the East Wasteland Continent were respected, so he himself was far from being able to look down on all the heroes. Today's arrogant words would surely bring him a lot of trouble.

In addition, Qin Lie could not guess what the Divine Purgatory Diagram in his body was either. Although it looked like a set of Tao Map s, they were concealing an even more astonishing secret.

In truth, he had secretly investigated the origins of this Divine Purgatory Diagram. The first clue he found was one of the five forbidden zones of the East Wasteland Continent, the Prehistoric Forbidden Area.

Of the five forbidden zones, every one of them was an ancient, demonic god that was at death's door. The most mysterious one was the Heavenly Tomb Mountain's Graveyard of Gods and the vast one was the Tomb of the Emperor.

What was inside the mountain range was not a tree nor was it a rock, but rather, a thick layer of black fog. This black fog was a cage, holding countless creatures within it.

After that, Qin Lie continued to comprehend the profoundness of the Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration, a ball of white Qi rose from the surface of his body and turned into a dragon elephant to temper his flesh.

As he absorbed and swallowed, Qin Lie suddenly saw a depressing scene. Under the empty scarlet skies, the ancient trees and the ten thousand spirits roared, each of the prison had strange runes wrapped around it. The prison was suppressing one supreme being, and someone similar to "he" was fighting with his life on the line, a sea of blood gushing into the sky.

"KILL —" Around the prison, the sound of battle cries rang out. The bodies of cultivators and almighty experts fell from the prison, forming a sea of blood with corpses floating within. It was hard to imagine what sort of bloody battle was this. The flowing blood had actually gathered into a sea of blood?

The man with the same appearance as' he 'was currently leading a group of divine elementalists to fight against an enemy ten thousand times stronger than himself. The ones fighting against' he 'were all ancient legendary existences of the ancient gods and devils! There were a few unknown races among them. As soon as their innate divine abilities were displayed, the entire region began to tremble. No one knew just how many people had died.

Amidst the ear-splitting and deafening roars of war, a shocking song of war and wailing ghosts and gods resounded in all directions. It was sad and desolate. Some people died, some people fought, and some people even roared; just what kind of scene was this?

Qin Lie's eyes were bloodshot as he watched the intense scene unfold around the prison. Amidst the sounds of battle and singing, he was unconsciously infected, but the moment he thought about it, the scene immediately disappeared.

"Where did he go?" Qin Lie cried out in shock. When he regained his senses, he realised that his entire face was bleeding and his hair was standing on end. He immediately stopped channeling the Ancient Dragon And Elephant Conjuration, feeling a sense of lingering fear.

"Was the horrible scene I saw just now real?" Even though his clothes were drenched in cold sweat, Qin Lie still tried his best to recall everything with curiosity. After a period of helplessness, he suddenly calmed down and slowly thought about the strange things that happened with the Divine Purgatory Diagram on his body. If the battle just now was real, then what kind of scale would it be?

Qin Lie was secretly horrified, he could not help but feel chills down his spine, this Divine Purgatory Diagram was too terrifying, with it on his body, he did not know if it was good or bad, how much trouble would it bring him?

Qin Lie did not continue his research. After taking a deep breath, he rested early in order to prepare for tomorrow's competition.

Night had fallen. Dawn was approaching, and the sun was high in the sky. The next day had arrived.

The martial arts practice field's arena was packed with people. They were all waiting excitedly, because today, many of the more powerful youths in the prince's mansion wanted to make a move.

By the side of the stage, Qin Lie had also arrived. He was dressed in black, and his body was skinny and skinny, but no one dared to look down on him.

"Hehe, let's see how long you can stay alive for."

Qin Lie frowned and turned his head, only to see Tu Mo and Xia Heng walking over together with a sneer on his face.

Seeing that, Qin Lie's eyes became dark and cold, his killing intent rising rapidly. Even if the two people almost killed him, if the Divine Purgatory Diagram did not display its might, he would have already become a spirit of grievance.

Being stared at by Qin Lie, Xia Heng's expression became unnatural. With a heavy flick of his sleeves, he said: "It's good that the young ones have the desire to win, but if the mayfly is able to shake a tree, they don't know their own limits.

Qin Lie laughed loudly, and said: "There's no need for you to worry." Finishing his words, he turned around and left.

The expression in Xia Heng's eyes darkened as he looked at Qin Lie's back, and a hint of disdain still hung on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, the top ten disciples who were ranked in the Family Competition came to the center of the arena one by one. Only, Xia Menglan was not among them.

"Next, the finals shall begin. As usual, the lots are drawn for the competition."

An old man nodded respectfully at Xiahou and took out a palm-sized bamboo tube. There were many bamboo sticks inside.

With that said, all the disciples from the two great sects seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, their gazes all landed on Qin Lie with clear hostility.

However, facing the hostile gazes of the crowd, Qin Lie merely laughed lightly, and did not mind.

After the people in front had finished drawing, Qin Lie walked over and pulled out a bamboo stick. On the bamboo stick, a name was clearly written: Tu Mo.

"Haha, you didn't expect this, did you? Thirteenth Little Brother, I will take good care of you once we're on stage." Tu Mo's fake concern suddenly came from behind, it was obvious that he had done something to the bamboo stick.

Seeming like he did not hear the ridicule in Tu Mo's words, Qin Lie also smiled and said: "I also want to ask Big Brother Tu to help me wake up."

Tu Mo snorted coldly, and walked towards the spectating platform.

On Stage One, Xia Hou Zun had already walked up the stage with large strides. On the opposite side, there was also a very martial looking youth, both of them were ready to fight at any moment.

Xia Hou Zun stood on the left side with a strong and sturdy build, his dark face was filled with determination, he had been quietly waiting there the entire time, just like a tall ancient demon mountain.

Once on the stage, he pointed at the Xia Hou Zun and provoked him: "I heard that you are an expert from a side bloodline, and that I, Xia Wuchang, am not allowed to bleed. Right now, I'll give you a chance to walk down by yourself, I won't hurt you."

Xia Hou Zun laughed as if he did not hear anything. He returned the words from his mouth, "I will also give you a chance to walk off the stage yourself. I won't hurt you." Even before the battle had begun, the entire arena was already filled with the thick smell of gunpowder. The two sides were still battling, and the atmosphere had already turned tense before the battle had even begun.

"I really admire your courage, but it's bad luck that you ran into me, Xia Wuchang. Say it first, if you're injured or disabled, don't blame me." Xia Wuchang was surprised for a moment, then smiled contemptuously.

Xia Hou Zun waved his hand impatiently and said: "Do you still want to fight or not, you sure spout a lot of bullsh * t."

"You!" Xia Wuchang's face darkened as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
