Chapter 2498
2498 Gradually Emerging
In the skies above the Asura battlefield, six figures stood in midair outside the blood-colored fog, emitting powerful auras as they looked down at the Asura battlefield.
Divine Rainbow, Divine Swamp, Divine Wind, Divine Crane, Divine Cloud and Divine Flames.
The six of them were none other than the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace’s Heaven Ranking Prediction!
The Divine Firmament Immortal Meet was a grand event that happened once every 100,000 years in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. During this period of time, the most eye-catching segment was the competition and announcement of the Heaven Ranking!
This was also the best opportunity for countless paragons and monster incarnates to make a name for themselves in the world.
Prior to that, the Heaven Ranking Prediction became extremely important.
This was equivalent to turning the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain into an invisible battlefield to select the hundred most outstanding Heaven Immortals in the entire Immortal Domain!
Therefore, Divine Firmament Palace placed immense importance on the battle for the seal in the Asura Battlefield as well. They sent six Perfected Immortals to evaluate the battle and update the ranking of the Heaven Ranking Prediction in real-time.
Because the Asura battlefield was extremely vast, the six Perfected Immortals could not pay attention to every team.
Therefore, the six of them divided the Asura battlefield into six regions and each of them was in charge of one of them.
Once the eight teams gathered in the ancient city, the six Perfected Immortals would be able to pay attention to everyone.
Perfected Immortal Divine Rainbow said, “To think that these corpses that have died for many years would be able to awaken and become undead experts after being corroded by this malevolent blood qi.”
“I wonder what’s the background of this malevolent blood qi.” Perfected Immortal Divine Swamp asked.
“The source is in the lake in the center of the ancient city. However, our spirit consciousnesses can’t scan into it either.”
Perfected Immortal Divine Wind said deeply, “I’m guessing that it might be the corpse of an ancient demon beast.”
Suddenly, Divine Cloud said, “Under the encirclement of the Asuras, Yakshas and various demon beasts, the princes of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom suffered considerable losses.”
“Indeed.”
Divine Flames nodded and said, “Although these teams have experts on the Heaven Ranking Prediction at the front to fight their way out, for the past two days, the undead in the Asura Battlefield have been endless. The other cultivators can’t defend against them at all.”
Divine Wind and the others nodded as well.
Only Fairy Divine Crane’s eyes flashed with a strange glint without saying anything.
After two days, the princes led their teams and arrived at the ancient city one after another after countless killing and escaping.
Princess Yu Yan and Zong Feiyu’s group were the first to arrive at the ancient city.
Although there was an expert like Zong Feiyu who was Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, half of the hundred-strong team were already gone by the time they arrived at the ancient city!
Some of the cultivators died before they could tear their teleportation talismans apart.
Some of the cultivators could not save themselves when they were in danger and could only tear apart their talismans and leave the battlefield.
Before long, Rank 10 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Prince Tianhuang, Prince Ming Jiong and Song Ce’s team, Prince Yan and Lie Xuan’s team as well as Prince Feng and Heaven Immortal Luo Yang’s team arrived one after another.
Every single team was in an extremely sorry state. Even Prince Yan and Lie Xuan’s team who suffered the least losses lost close to 40 people!
The other teams only had around 30 to 40 people left.
The seventh team that arrived was Prince Xing Yan who nearly had a conflict with Su Zimo.
His team looked even more miserable with only 14 people left.
Although there were two experts on the Heaven Ranking Prediction among the hundred Heaven Immortals he gathered, their rankings were not high and they could not protect too many people.
Of the nine teams, only two had yet to arrive at the ancient city.
Right then, Fairy Divine Crane suddenly said, “Prince Cheng Tian’s team has already been eliminated.”
There were only eight teams left in the Asura battlefield!
The six Perfected Immortals were not surprised by this outcome.
Although Prince Cheng Tian’s team had a hundred Heaven Immortals, he lacked true experts. There wasn’t a single person on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
It was not surprising that they could not break through the obstruction of the Asura race and the other undead monsters.
Divine Cloud said, “There’s still a team that hasn’t arrived. If I remember correctly, they should be on Divine Crane’s side. It’s Xie Qingcheng and Su Zimo’s team.”
Divine Wind smiled. “There’s too few of them. I don’t think they can even defend against the first wave of the undead on the battlefield.”
“That’s right. Even if Su Zimo is the only one left, it’ll be difficult for him to survive alone.” Divine Flames shook his head gently.
“That’s not true.”
Fairy Divine Crane suddenly said, “Of the nine teams, his is the one that suffered the least losses!”
“Mmm?”
Divine Cloud and the others were surprised.
“Take a look.”
Fairy Divine Crane pointed down at Xie Qingcheng, Su Zimo and the others who were about to arrive at the ancient city.
The other five Perfected Immortals looked over and their expressions changed!
“What’s going on?”
“There’s just one missing person?”
Everyone could clearly see that Xie Qingcheng’s group had 18 people when they entered. Now that they were about to arrive at the ancient city, there were still 17 left!
What was even stranger was that although the group of them were travel-worn, there were no wounds or blood on their bodies and they did not look wretched at all.
“What’s going on?”
Divine Swamp was shocked and could not help but ask.
“By the looks of it, this group did not seem to have encountered a large-scale attack from the undead on the battlefield?” Divine Cloud asked with a frown.
Divine Flames analyzed, “Could it be that someone in this team knows some methods or treasures that can hide their auras from the undead?”
The five of them were observing the other teams in the other regions previously and did not pay attention to the movements of Xie Qingcheng and Su Zimo.
Since Fairy Divine Crane was in charge of observing them, she was the only one who could answer those questions.
“To be precise, they did not hide their auras.”
Fairy Divine Crane recalled her observations over the past two days and said in a deep voice, “It feels more like someone sensed the aura of the undead beforehand and avoided danger.”
“Under normal circumstances, without condensing a Dao Fruit, the detection range of the spirit consciousness in the blood fog is limited. Who among them can penetrate the malevolent blood qi and sense the danger ahead?” Divine Flames asked with a frown.
“It should be Su Zimo!”
Fairy Divine Crane said, “For the past two days, I saw that his trajectory was irregular and he often took twists and turns. That’s also the reason why they were the last team to arrive.”
“Initially, I did not pay much attention. However, later on, I realized that each time the team detoured, they would avoid the powerful undead hidden in the blood fog ahead!”
When they heard that, the five Perfected Immortals shuddered and were shocked!
They avoided danger even before they saw or heard anything?
Could such a legendary ability truly exist?
“This battle for the seal has suddenly turned interesting. Perhaps the final outcome will exceed our expectations.”
Fairy Divine Crane suddenly smiled with a hint of anticipation in her beautiful eyes.
Naturally, the six Perfected Immortals knew of Su Zimo’s participation. However, no one paid attention at first.
The difference in strength between Rank 24 and the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction was way too great!
They were not the only ones. The various factions and cultivators of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain that were paying attention to this matter had also made their own guesses.
Some people thought that Princess Yu Yan might have the greatest chance with Zong Feiyu’s help.
Some people felt that Prince Tianhuang was strong to begin with since he was Rank 10 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction. As such, he had the highest chance of having the last laugh.
Some people even predicted that Prince Yan might win after obtaining Lie Xuan’s help.
But now, two days after the battle for the seal, a variable seemed to have appeared on the battlefield!
A Grade 6 Heaven Immortal that was almost ignored by everyone gradually revealed his brilliance and sharpness in this cruel and bloody Asura battlefield!
