Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

The sound of his voice fell.

Everyone present clapped, no joking matter as Da Xia hadn't seen a decisive battle between two sects emerge with full effort for a long time, especially those at the Golden Core Peak stage, who generally played a deterring role.

They hadn't made a move.

All were a group of old men whose lives were nearly depleted, where each action consumed their remaining life span.

Even the six elderly cultivators at Golden Core Peak, who were sitting in the middle of the square to maintain order, couldn't help but be moved by the words, and one of them, with an expression neither sad nor happy, looked towards the Sect Master of the Warhammer Sect.

"No fighting outside the Capital."

"I understand the rules."

The Sect Master of the Warhammer Sect smiled and nodded, "I will wait for them to leave the Capital before making my move."

Seeing that the Warhammer Sect was not joking, several members of the hidden Liu Family sitting in the spectator section became restless, exchanging glances before hesitantly picking up their Sound Transmission Rings to send back the information from there.

...

Just then—

The second arena battle began.

This time, Chen Qiu's opponent was still one at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, bearing some injuries, appearing to have had a hard-won victory in the previous fight.

The countdown ended in an instant.

Before Chen Qiu could make a move,

this man at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection violently drew his long sword and stabbed it into his own abdomen, stirring it fiercely a few times, then with a pained expression, rolled over to the edge of the arena, and after a few breaths, raised his head with pleading eyes looking at Chen Qiu, his voice trembling from the severe pain.

"Senior, could you... send me off?"

"How have I not yet entered a near-death state, I haven't been expelled, it's killing me.."

"I admit defeat..."

"Uhm..."

Chen Qiu looked at the man who had mangled his own abdomen in the corner of the platform with a peculiar expression, understanding what the man was trying to do— to enter a near-death state so he could be transmitted out of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

But... it seemed like the man had undershot.

With the state he was in now, even the weakest Thunder Summoning Technique Chen Qiu could hurl at him would directly disintegrate him.

"I've got it."

Suddenly, he thought of a good method— pulling out a long sword from his robe, he walked over to the man, crouched down gently, and said, "Relax, it will be over quickly."

Then he picked up the long sword and continued stabbing the man constantly in the abdomen.

Using no Spiritual Energy, no Spells,

just purely physical attacks—this way, there should be no issues.

To be extra cautious, he specifically controlled his strength, making each stab very gentle; finally, on the thirteenth stab, the man, with a trace of resentment in his eyes, was expelled from the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

The second match on the other platforms also ended quickly.

Thus—

Only 54 people were left standing in the platforms of the Heavenly Pride Secret Realm.

Soon, the third arena battle started.

"Whew..."

Chen Qiu's eyes gradually narrowed as he looked at his opponent and exhaled lightly, finally facing a formidable opponent. Standing across from him was a Golden Core Heavenly Pride!

It was a Demon Cultivator.

Golden Core first stage, a genius among Demon Cultivators, rumored to have cleared up to the third level in the Demon Cultivation heritage, narrowly missing the fourth round a few years ago and had slaughtered many demon beasts to create the Soul Banner.

The Soul Banner contained over ten thousand strong Demon Beast Resentful Spirits, with a main formation spirit being a second-stage Golden Core Demon Beast Resentful Spirit, with the majority of other spirits being at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refinement stages complementing it.

Under full exertion,

dark clouds would cover the city, with a Night Parade of Hundred Demons, extremely powerful.

This was the only Demon Cultivator participating in this competition, where typically Demon Cultivators and Evil Cultivators weren't allowed due to their status as public enemies in Da Xia, but this Demon Cultivator was rumored to be a non-murderous type, even creating the Soul Banner using weaker demon beast spirits.

Belonging to a kind-hearted Demon Cultivator.

Though everyone in Da Xia was encouraged to kill Demon and Evil Cultivators, that was because most of them gained power through slaughtering mortals; non-murderous Demon Cultivators, though not well-regarded, were not universally condemned.

This was his first face-to-face battle with a Golden Core since he had reached that stage himself!

Extremely meaningful.

At the moment the countdown ended, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator Heavenly Pride opposite him swung the Soul Banner with a cold expression, instantly enveloping the platform in dark clouds, as a massive horde of demon beast ghosts surged out from the Soul Banner towards Chen Qiu!

This strike!

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators simply couldn't cope with it.

To know that one of those resentful spirits in the horde was a second-stage Golden Core spirit; with just this Soul Banner, this Demon Cultivator Heavenly Pride could completely challenge an opponent with a second-stage Golden Core Cultivation!

Just...

Unluckily,

"..."

Chen Qiu, with a complicated expression, gazed at the countless demon beast ghosts surging towards him, which carried an intense aura of bloodthirstiness, looking quite sinister; but each time these resentful spirits approached him, they would inexplicably scream and dissipate into a wisp of green smoke.

Heavenly Dao Saint.

Able to obliterate all evil spirits and demons.

Though unsure if this included Golden Core Peak or Nascent Soul resentful spirits,

it seemed quite straightforward to extinguish a second-stage Golden Core spirit.

In just a few breaths' time,

the demon race Heavenly Pride, still vigorously waving the Soul Banner, realized no more demon beast spirits were emerging from it.

"Huh?"

The man, who continued to energetically wave the Soul Banner, emitting intense Demonic Qi, suddenly noticed that the dark clouds above the platform had cleared and that the platform was now completely empty of any demon beast spirits, leaving him puzzled as he turned towards Chen Qiu, inadvertently asking, "Where are my resentful spirits?"
