Such a situation certainly surprised the countless Divine Lords and sovereigns watching from outside the ancient battlefield.

"Ye Chen took the lead by so much to enter the sixth level, why did he suddenly stop on the sixth level?"

"Could it be that he's trapped in the sixth level and can't get through?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case. Judging by Ye Chen's performance in the previous levels, his ability to pass the trials seems much stronger than Tianyu Beiling. Now that Tianyu Beiling has come out of the 'Wind Origin Tower,' Ye Chen shouldn't still be stuck on the sixth level!"

"Could it be that Ye Chen has encountered some kind of accident in the sixth level?!"

The countless spectators all began to speculate.

However, they could only guess; the "Wind Origin Tower" was created by the being Feng Luo who was beyond the sovereigns, and they simply could not see the specific situation of the challenges inside.

While these people were full of doubts about Ye Chen staying still on the sixth level,

Tianyu Beiling, who had finally made it out of the "Wind Origin Tower" after spending four days, was so pleasantly surprised that he almost jumped for joy when he saw he'd become the first person to come out.

"I, I'm the first?!"

Even Tianyu Beiling himself couldn't believe it.

When he rubbed his eyes and saw that on the ranking screen above Void Heaven, which had already moved from the Second Ancient Battlefield to the Third Ancient Battlefield, it clearly showed that he had come out of the "Wind Origin Tower," while others were still trapped in different levels of the tower, Tianyu Beiling finally believed that he was first.

Tianyu Beiling's gaze then turned towards Ye Chen's name, and when he saw that "sixth level" was still marked next to Ye Chen's name, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

By the end, Tianyu Beiling was even sneering repeatedly, "Hmph, Ye Chen, you might have been stronger than me in the second round, but in this third round's 'Wind Origin Tower' competition, you are simply no match for me!"

"I, Tianyu Beiling, am the first!"

In the second round, Tianyu Beiling was fourth, having accumulated 89,600 points of combat merit.

In the third round, after spending four days to make it out of the "Wind Origin Tower," he directly received 270,000 points of combat merit.

Adding both rounds together, his points of combat merit had become 359,600.

His assessment for the third round had ended, and his points were now directly reflected on the ranking screen.

With the combined total of both rounds, Tianyu Beiling's points of combat merit leaped ahead of Ye Chen's 359,000 points and rose directly to the first place on the ranking screen!

Seeing that even Ye Chen was behind by six hundred points, Tianyu Beiling was thrilled.

Originally, he had been somewhat despairing about his second-round score, but now, he saw renewed hope for overtaking Ye Chen and seizing first place.

Although this was not the final score, if Ye Chen were to come out from the Wind Origin Tower later and also receive points for the third round of assessment, it was very likely he would overtake him again. But at least, Tianyu Beiling had closed the gap with Ye Chen's score and now saw a hope of overtaking him.

This naturally made Tianyu Beiling extremely excited!

Tianyu Beiling was even silently praying that Ye Chen would get no points at all in this third round of assessment. Then, he would truly overtake Ye Chen's ranking!

As if the prayer had taken effect,

on the fifth day, when both Mo Yuan and Xue Ningning had come out from the "Heavenly Origin Tower," and Tianyu Beiling saw that Ye Chen was still on the sixth level and had not yet come out of the Heavenly Origin Tower,

even though Xue Ningning's combined scores surpassed Tianyu Beiling's, seeing Ye Chen still inside, Tianyu Beiling was still extremely excited.

And on the eighth day, when several more people had made it out from the "Heavenly Origin Tower," and Ye Chen was still trapped on the sixth level, Tianyu Beiling was almost incredulous in his excitement.

Not just Tianyu Beiling, but Xue Ningning, Mo Yuan, and several other assessors who had come out of the Heavenly Origin Tower were all shocked to see Ye Chen still staying on the sixth level.

"What's going on?"

"The sixth level isn't much different in difficulty from the fifth level. Ye Chen should have been able to make it through the fifth level; he shouldn't be stuck on the sixth level for so long!"

"It would be understandable if he were stuck on the hardest seventh level, but being stuck on the sixth level for such a long time is not a performance indicative of Ye Chen's abilities."

"Could it be that Ye Chen has encountered some kind of accident in the Wind Origin Tower?"

After the surprise, many looked on with cold eyes.

After all, Ye Chen was their competitor, and although they admired Ye Chen's strength, they didn't feel too regretful about his mistakes.

Only Xue Ningning, the few Divine Girls from Divine Miao Peak, and some others who truly acknowledged Ye Chen's strength, were genuinely concerned about what might have happened to Ye Chen inside the "Wind Origin Tower."

When the fifteenth day of the third round of assessment had passed, the Little Provincial Princess also came out from the "Wind Origin Tower."

Seeing that Ye Chen had not yet come out from the "Wind Origin Tower," the Little Provincial Princess was also full of doubt and concern.

However, the more worried people like the Little Provincial Princess were, the more excited Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan became.

Whatever Ye Chen had encountered,

the later Ye Chen came out from the "Wind Origin Tower," the greater the benefit for them.

After all, they were competing with Ye Chen for the first place in the nine great divine institutes' assessments, so naturally they hoped that Ye Chen's score in this round would be as poor as possible!

And when the thirtieth day arrived, out of the hundred thousand who had entered the "Wind Origin Tower," more than ten thousand had already made their way out, Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan were so excited they wanted to shout out loud.

```

This was already the last day of the third round of assessment, and Ye Chen still hadn't emerged!

Even if Ye Chen successfully came out from the "Wind Origin Tower" later this day, he could only receive ten thousand assessment points, which wasn't much different from the rest of them.

That meant they could have a real fight with Ye Chen for the first place in the last round of competition!

"Could it be that Ye Chen won't be able to come out of the 'Wind Origin Tower' on the last day? Will he be forced out by the 'Wind Origin Tower' after a full month has ended?"

Seeing Ye Chen's name still displayed on the sixth layer, even Tianyu Beiling started to entertain this thought.

It wasn't just Tianyu Beiling.

The tens of millions of martial artists watching outside were completely taken aback.

They had originally thought that Ye Chen would be the first to come out of the "Wind Origin Tower." Instead, Ye Chen had stopped at the sixth layer, and had been surpassed by people like Tianyu Beiling, Mo Yuan, and Xue Ningning, one after another.

Even if a few people had surpassed Ye Chen, the watching martial artists believed that he wouldn't lag behind too many, and would soon come out of the "Wind Origin Tower."

Given Ye Chen's lead from the second round, even if he came out a few days later, he could still hold the first place.

To their complete surprise, Ye Chen had been stuck in the sixth layer without moving for nearly thirty days since he entered it.

For those who had witnessed Ye Chen's miraculous performance in the first two rounds, this was simply unimaginable!

Among the watching crowd,

the ones whose hearts were clenched the tightest were those like the East Territory King, Mu Ling, Xiao Lin, Xiaowan, and others.

They had originally hoped to see Ye Chen create another miracle, yet to their dismay, an unexpected turn of events occurred in this round for Ye Chen.

"What on earth is happening inside the sixth layer?!" The East Territory King, Mu Ling, Xiao Lin, Xiaowan, and others wished they could fly into the sixth layer to see what Ye Chen was facing!

The one who knew exactly what was happening was the Northern Territory King.

The Northern Territory King, looking at the sixth layer of the "Wind Origin Tower" without a flicker of expression in her eyes, murmured internally, "Thirty days, Ye Chen has really persisted in the sixth layer for thirty days. I wonder if he has made the sacrifice worth it and passed the training examination set by Senior Feng Luo."

Ye Chen was completely indifferent to everything happening outside.

Just as the Northern Territory King had surmised, the reason Ye Chen stayed in the sixth layer was because he had entered a training examination left behind by a being beyond the level of a lord, Senior Feng Luo, which was unknown to others!

On the first day of the third round of assessment, Ye Chen became the first among all to enter the sixth layer!

And it took him less than half an hour to pass the assessment of the sixth layer, directly earning the qualification to proceed to the final layer of the "Wind Origin Tower."

If not for this examination, Ye Chen could have come out of the "Wind Origin Tower" on the very first day and created another first place record!

However, Ye Chen did not advance to the seventh layer but instead walked straight towards a strange painting hanging on the wall of the sixth layer.

In the end, inside his isolated space, Ye Chen directly flew into this peculiar painting.

And inside the painting, one could see a space filled with extremely rich Divine Light and the whole land was covered with numerous crystal-clear, fist-sized beads!

This space was precisely the training examination space hidden within the "Wind Origin Tower" that the mini Blood Drinking Divine Blade in his Sea of Qi had hinted at!

As soon as Ye Chen entered this space, a voice spoke to him, "Examinee, you have cultivated to the third layer of the 'Bloodlight Blade Technique' within a month's time at the Blood Drinking Divine Blade, completing the first stage of the Divine King's inheritance examination."

"In this space, you will undergo the second stage of examination."

"The requirement of this second stage is that you must cultivate in this space for a month under the pressure of ten thousand 'Polar Elemental God Beads'!"

"'Polar Elemental God Beads' are these crystal-clear, fist-sized beads scattered across the land of this space!"

"These beads are incredibly heavy; not only do they pressure your physical body when they rest upon you, but they also oppress your True Qi and Divine Soul!"

"This sensation is excruciatingly unbearable, as though training in hell itself!"

"If you cannot endure for a month, you will fail this examination and lose the qualification to proceed with the Divine King's inheritance, severing the link to it forever!"

"Of course, if you can persist in cultivating under the heavy pressure of ten thousand 'Polar Elemental God Beads' for a month, not only will you pass the second stage of examination, it will also be incredibly beneficial to your own cultivation!"

"Examinee, now listen carefully to the spell for mobilizing the 'Polar Elemental God Beads' for cultivation!"

After explaining the cultivation rules, the voice did not give Ye Chen any time to respond and spell after the spell was transmitted directly into Ye Chen's Divine Sense.

Luckily, Ye Chen's Divine Sense was immensely powerful; had it not been, he might not have been able to remember the spells completely.

After completing the transmission of the spell, the voice disappeared.

Ye Chen's eyes immediately landed on the crysta-clear, fist-sized beads on the ground, known as the 'Polar Elemental God Beads.'

The next moment, Ye Chen pinched a spell with his hand.

Boom!

The countless beads on the ground flew directly towards Ye Chen's body above, and even without directly pressing onto Ye Chen, the mere presence of these beads in the void above Ye Chen's body brought a pressure bearing down on him heavier than mountains themselves!
