Wang Teng undergoes his trial, revealing an astonishing combination of youth, high realm, and significant titles. His score shocks the onlookers and rivals, including Jun Tian, who is bumped from the top three. The Divine Stele confirms Wang Teng as the top scorer, with Yu Que and Yuan Feng also qualifying, while Jun Tian misses out on the top rankings. Many participants are eliminated as the trial concludes.

Daoist Monarch Donghua frowned: “Wang Teng, that little thief, is only in the Divine King Realm, at most half-step Peak. He shouldn’t have the power to kill Tao Ancestor and the other two. It’s likely an Eternal Realm Great Power intervened!”

Jun Tian frowned in secret: “The Celestial Venerable has a pact and cannot make a move. Could Wang Teng’s ally also be in this Great Hall?”

As he spoke, Jun Tian’s gaze swept over Lu Ya, Yuan Feng, and Yu Que.

Immediately, he continued, “No matter what, we must kill this brat! This is the task given to us by Lord Luo Hou!”

Upon hearing this, Donghua nodded: “Exactly! But in the first round of this trial, we Eternal Realm beings are forbidden from making a move. Otherwise, I’d have slapped him to death!”

It turns out that there are additional rules in this Purple Cloud Trial.

Before the trial begins, fights between contestants are subject to varying degrees of Celestial Punishment.

During the trial, fights between contestants not only lead to Celestial Punishment but also immediate elimination.

Only during rest periods can contestants fight.

Furthermore, during the first round rest period, Eternal Realm contestants are forbidden from making a move.

In the second round rest period, Middle Grade Eternal Realm contestants are forbidden from making a move.

In the third round rest period, there are no restrictions.

Only Celestial Punishment remains, without elimination.

This is Purple Cloud Inheritance; a form of protection for the Non-Eternal Realm.

Thinking of this, Daoist Monarch Donghua felt irritated, wishing he could take action immediately and kill Wang Teng.

“Brother Donghua, don’t worry! We can’t make a move in this round, but Wang Teng stands out, inviting trouble, and others will act against him!”

Jun Tian sneered coldly, signaling somewhere with his gaze.

Donghua quickly looked, only to see nine Half-Step Great Perfection individuals quietly gathered, whispering continuously.

They briefly glance at Wang Teng with ill intent in their eyes.

Seeing this, Daoist Monarch Donghua immediately understood.

The two shared a knowing smile.

Among the seventy-plus Half-Step Great Perfection individuals present, only half knew Wang Teng’s true strength, and those nine were completely unaware.

Now, those nine are gathered together, plotting to kill Wang Teng.

Boom~! Rumble~! Rumble~!

At this moment, the ethereal mechanical voice sounded again…

[Trial Notice: Elimination ended! Contestants ranked fourth to three-thousandth, prepare for rewards distribution]

This notice stirred excitement among everyone.

Soon, a booming sound echoed from the sky again…

[Beginning rewards distribution now, rewards as follows]

[Each contestant receives a +300 trillion Combat Power boost]

[Each contestant receives a +3,000 Times Creation boost]

[Each contestant receives 3 Taiqing Dao Crystals]

Boom~!

Upon hearing this announcement, a wave of exclamations rose among the crowd.

“Oh my god~! This year’s rewards are so abundant, triple that of previous years!”

“With such difficulty, these generous rewards are excellent!”

At this moment, everyone was greatly pleased.

Buzz~!

Soon, 2,997 beams of light descended from the sky, landing on everyone.

All contestants were happily tallying their gains.

Boom~! Rumble~!

At this time, the etherial mechanical voice again echoed from above the Great Hall…

[Notice: Rankings rewards distribution commencing now! Third place rewards as follows]

[Contestant Yuan Feng rewarded with +10-Star Combat Power]

[Contestant Yuan Feng rewarded with +50,000 Times Creation]

[Contestant Yuan Feng rewarded with 25 Taiqing Dao Crystals]

This announcement caused a new stir among the crowd.

“Oh my god~! The rewards are truly extraordinary!”

“This ranking reward used to offer only two-to-three Star Levels in previous editions, but now it’s more than tripled!”

Upon hearing this, sighs echoed among the contestants.

In the crowd, Jun Tian’s expression turned extremely sour.

He originally could have earned that 10-Star Combat Power.

But due to Wang Teng’s appearance, he only received a 300 trillion Combat Power boost.

The difference is like heaven and earth!

With this thought, Jun Tian’s hatred for Wang Teng deepened further.

Buzz~!

Then, a golden beam descended and enveloped Yuan Feng.

Everyone looked on enviously.

Once Yuan Feng’s reward was collected, the second-place rewards were distributed…

In no time, Yu Que received a +20-Star Combat Power boost, +100,000 Times Creation, and 50 Taiqing Dao Crystals.

Even more abundant than the third place.

The crowd’s envy intensified.

Soon, Yu Que collected his reward.

Everyone knew the first-place rewards were about to be announced.

All ears perked in anticipation of the reward details.

Meanwhile, nine Half-Step Great Perfection individuals quietly moved closer to Wang Teng’s location.

Boom~! Rumble~! Rumble~!

Just then, the air above the Great Hall trembled, and the ethereal mechanical voice sounded…

[Notice: Rankings rewards distribution commencing now! First place rewards as follows]

[Contestant Wang Teng rewarded with +40-Star Combat Power]

[Contestant Wang Teng rewarded with +200,000 Times Creation]

[Contestant Wang Teng rewarded with 100 Taiqing Dao Crystals]

Boom~!

This reward sparked another uproar among the crowd.

Everyone gazed at Wang Teng with great envy.

Even Yu Que gulped slightly.

Wang Teng’s reward was twice his own.

Yet this little thief’s strength was clearly inferior!

How could this not leave a sour taste in his heart?!

At the same time, Yuan Feng watched Wang Teng’s back with a complicated expression, making his thoughts hard to discern.

On another side, Jun Tian’s eyes were already filled with rage, his teeth grinding in hatred.

Buzz~!

Just then, a golden beam descended from the skies, enveloping Wang Teng.

The next second, his Combat Power and Creation began to soar rapidly.

Simultaneously, 100 Dao Crystals descended along the beam.

As the Dao Crystals reached his sight, Wang Teng briefly counted them, then broke into a pleased smile.
