Beast Swamp.
Floating Arena.
At this moment, the battle in the arena determines life and death. Even if one side has already been defeated, if they haven’t died yet, the arena barrier still exists.
This rule makes everyone understand the cruelty of the Floating Island Arena; only death is the sole way to end the arena contest.
After knowing this rule, both the Demon Clan and Human Clan fighters in the arena had murderous looks in their eyes.
For a short while, both sides exerted their full strength in every move they made after the initial probing. It was either you die, or I live.
As time passes, eventually, a cultivator died in one of the arenas, and the corresponding Floating Island Arena glowed brilliantly.
Before the winner could react, a surge of spiritual energy directly entered the winner’s body, and the Floating Island Arena immediately rose to signify victory and defeat.
The loser, or the deceased, had their body fall from the arena and land on the ground of the Beast Swamp.
One victory, one defeat, with completely different outcomes.
Under the massive influx of spiritual energy, the winner could only sit cross-legged in the arena with a red face and cultivate to digest the surging energy within their body. The joy in the winner’s face could not be hidden.
This reward for the Floating Arena winner was far too blatant. There was no concealment at all, blatantly displayed in front of everyone.
Winner takes all!
Since there was already a precedent, the other arena contests became even more bloody. This was not an arena, but rather a legitimate slaughter platform.
Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot. Since they chose this path, there was no way back–life and death were predestined, and fortune was in the heavens.
It was nothing more than a desperate fight.
At this moment, the cultivators who had already entered the arena, whether from the Human Clan or Demon Clan, had gained this insight, and the battles became even more intense.
On the ground, those who were a step late to enter the arena from both human and demon clans were also anxious in their hearts.
They discovered that the arena deciding victory and defeat does not open immediately after the contest ends, but waits until the winner absorbs the spiritual energy before opening again.
What does this mean?
It means that theoretically, the more you win, the stronger the winner’s combat power. If others are slow, they may fall behind step by step.
This stimulus made the Human Clan and Demon Clan members who had yet to enter the arena regretful. If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have hesitated so much. Now, they have missed an opportunity.
As time went by, and emotions ran high, winners were determined one after another on the Floating Arenas, and bodies fell from the sky.
There were both Demon Clan and Human Clan cultivators amongst the deceased, but there was only one outcome for all: death, with not a single loser surviving.
These fallen bodies landed on the Beast Swamp and became mere dry bones in no time, as their blood and flesh essence were instantly plundered by an unknown existence.
As the wind blew, they dissipated into smoke and vanished, leaving no trace in the world.
Seeing this situation, the Demonic Ancestors and Feng Yuan couldn’t help but twitch their faces. How could they forget the numerous stone coffins that appeared after the massacre in Beast Swamp previously?
If nothing goes wrong, the blood and flesh essence of these losers will be absorbed by the stone coffins, just like last time, becoming nutrients for the coffins.
It is likely that the Ancient Spring Water in the Ancient Beast Swamp Oasis will be greatly replenished. Thinking of this, the Demon and Human clans who know part of the truth squint their eyes and remain silent.
However, even if they guessed the truth, none of them would abandon the opportunities offered by the Floating Arena at this point, so they could only put aside their uneasiness and continue to watch the situation unfold.
Not long after, the cultivator, who was the first to win and kill his opponent in the Floating Arena, opened his eyes and emerged from the cultivation state. At the same time, the barrier above the Floating Arena also disappeared instantly.
In other words, the protective barrier had not disappeared; it only indicated that the next round of the contest could begin. As long as the cultivators meet the conditions, they can initiate the challenge.
How could those cultivators who were prepared this time miss their chance? However, the arenas could only accommodate so many participants. Once someone else moved faster than them, the rest could only wait helplessly.
Fortunately, after the first arena contest ended, there would be a second, and others would follow suit. Not long after, new arenas lifted their defense barriers.
But compared to the vast number of cultivators, the Floating Arena was still in short supply. Only the exceptional cultivators of the same realm could successfully enter the contest arena.
Since they dared to enter the arena contest, they were already prepared, to determine both their superiority and life or death.
And so, in a short period of time, another round of brutal battles of life and death began.
This scene made everyone present, whether Demon Clan or Human Clan cultivators, feel moved and sigh in their hearts.
Now, the conflict of the Golden Age’s Chosen in the Beast Swamp is truly well-deserved. To fight for opportunities, one must face such extreme bloodshed.
Meanwhile, Liang Sheng, who secretly controlled everything, was actually very calm, without any emotional fluctuations. He looked at the bloodstained ground and couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
This time, Liang Sheng had a complete plan, but everything must not be rushed. It all needed to progress slowly.
The demonic beasts that were slaughtered by the Human Cultivators previously were just appetizers. After all, their realm was low, and although their numbers were numerous, they might not necessarily reach the requirements for the Ancient Beast Swamp Oasis Secret to appear.
