2600 Astral Imprisonment
Seventh day of the Nine Firmament Meet.
After noon, the ranking battle for the Perfected Immortal Ranking and Arhat Ranking had already entered the final phase!
On the side of the Pure Land of Bliss, Shi Wunian won everything and no one could stop him.
On the side of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, Chess Immortal Jun Yu, Prince Qin Ce, Lin Lei and Zhuo Wuchen were far in the lead with complete victories!
Jun Yu's Chess Dao, Qin Ce's secret skills of the Emperor, Lin Lei's halberd and Zhuo Wuchen's Sword Dao left deep impressions on the cultivators present.
If nothing went wrong, the Supreme Perfected Immortal of this generation would be born among them!
The next battle was between Zither Immortal Meng Yao and Lin Lei.
Meng Yao's Dao was through her music. It would be fine if she was up against ordinary cultivators. However, against a top-tier Perfected Immortal like Lin Lei, it was difficult for her Dharmic Dao to unleash its power head-on.
Meng Yao's zither sound could not affect Lin Lei's Dao Heart at all.
Lin Lei wielded his halberd with a torrential aura and defeated Zither Immortal Meng Yao!
Thereafter, Book Immortal Yun Zhu went against Prince Qin Ce.
Unsurprisingly, Yun Zhu was defeated in this battle.
Even so, Yun Zhu's performance attracted praise.
Right from the beginning, Yun Zhu seemed to be holding back.
Although she was defeated in the end, she did not seem wretched at all and retreated with grace.
Many Immortal Kings secretly speculated that the combat strength of Book Immortal Yun Zhu was most likely sufficient for her to be ranked on the Perfected Immortal Ranking.
It was merely unfortunate that she had a bad ranking for the elimination round, causing her to have to face Prince Qin Ce prematurely and be knocked out.
Evening.
On the side of the Pure Land of Bliss, the ranking battle for the Arhat Ranking was the first to end.
The Arhat Ranking of this generation was out!
As everyone had expected, the top of the Arhat Ranking with the title of Supreme was Shi Wunian from the Pure Land of Bliss's Mount Meru!
Shi Wunian won everything along the way and furthermore, they were landslides. There was no doubt towards his conferment as Supreme!
Rank 1 of the Arhat Ranking: Shi Wunian.
Rank 2: Wu Gouni.
Rank 3: Wu.
Rank 4: Xu Ba.
Rank 5: Tian Mu.
Rank 6: Ding Li.
Rank 7: Bu Dong.
Rank 8: Luo Du.
Rank 9: Po Mo.
Rank 10: Da Ren.
As for the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, the ranking battle was already coming to an end.
The first two battles were Qin Ce against Zhuo Wuchen and Jun Yu against Lin Lei.
Qin Ce and Jun Yu won respectively.
This meant that it would either be Qin Ce or Jun Yu who would be the Supreme Perfected Immortal!
The current battle was between Lin Lei and Zhuo Wuchen to fight for the third spot on the Perfected Immortal Ranking.
After an intense fight, Lin Lei won after a tragic battle. Zhuo Wuchen was not fated to be in the top three of the Perfected Immortal Ranking and was defeated!
Lin Lei dragged his injured body back to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain. Lin Luo went up to him immediately and consoled him, "Brother, congratulations. Mother was praising you earlier on. It's already not bad for you to be third."
Lin Lei shook his head gently and smiled bitterly.
He was naturally dissatisfied with being Rank 3 on the Perfected Immortal Ranking.
However, there was Chess Immortal Jun Yu and Prince Qin Ce in this generation. Indeed, he could not defeat them.
Lin Lei rubbed Lin Luo's head gently and said earnestly, "Sister, look at Su Zimo. Don't think that he's very strong just because there's no one who can match him in the Heaven Immortal realm. At the Perfected Immortal realm, there are many people who are stronger than him!"
"One can only be called a true paragon after advancing to the Perfected One realm."
"His current achievements are nothing."
Lin Luo pouted. "Brother, how do you know that he will fail after entering the Perfected One realm? In my opinion, his potential is much greater than yours!"
"Hmph!"
Lin Lei was a little disdainful. "He's only comparable to me if he's even qualified to partake in the competition for the Perfected Immortal Ranking and can obtain Rank 3."
"Lei'er, you're still arrogant."
Immortal Queen Ling Long shook her head gently. "Up till this point of your cultivation, you thought that you were invincible among your peers. However, you suffered an unexpectedly huge loss in Langfeng City. Even after you have just suffered another setback at the Perfected Immortal Ranking, you're not intending to reflect upon yourself?"
Lin Lei naturally did not dare to refute Immortal Queen Ling Long's reprimand and merely lowered his head in silence.
The next battle was the true center of attraction.
Prince Qin Ce was up against Chess Immortal Jun Yu!
Even the monks of the Pure Land of Bliss gathered to watch the battle.
"Zimo, who do you think will win?"
Yun Zhu glanced sideways and asked.
Su Zimo was still cultivating and did not seem to have heard or noticed anything.
"Zimo?"
Yun Zhu was worried when she saw Su Zimo in a strange state. Although his eyes were on the battlefield, he seemed to be in a trance with his mind elsewhere. She could not help but touch him gently as she called out once more.
Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo woke up from his cultivation state.
In the seven days of the Nine Firmament Meet, he cultivated with the help of the Builder Tree and the Green Lotus True Body grew at a terrifying speed—it had already reached the peak of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal!
However, he did not sense the barrier of the Perfected One realm.
If he wanted to break through, he would have to consolidate his comprehension and find a suitable opportunity.
Now that Yun Zhu had awakened him, he had no intention of continuing cultivating for the time being. He was prepared to watch the final battle of the Perfected Immortal Ranking.
"Are you alright?"
Yun Zhu asked.
Su Zimo smiled and nodded. Recalling Yun Zhu's question earlier on, he said in a low voice, "In my opinion, Jun Yu has a higher chance."
If it was a thousand years ago, Jun Yu and Qin Ce might have been on par.
But now that Jun Yu has obtained the inheritance of Immortal Queen Ling Long, it was an extremely obvious increase to her combat strength!
As dusk descended, a huge battle broke out!
The moment the two Perfected Immortal experts attacked, they did not test the waters and released their strongest trump cards.
In a fight of this level, one could lose if they were careless.
Jun Yu held the chessboard in her hands and carried the starry skies on her back. The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a chessboard as she stood outside, manipulating the fates of each chess piece.
Even Qin Ce was merely a chess piece in her hands.
Qin Ce's methods were extremely terrifying as well.
The Emperor's bloodline was incomparably domineering as he forcefully released his Bloodline Phenomenon. It was as though an iron-blooded army was gathered behind him and a single order shattered the chess game!
The combat intensity of both parties increased continuously and they even released Essence Spirit secret skills. Before long, it reached its climax and victory could be decided at any moment!
Suddenly!
Qin Ce touched his glabella with his finger and took out a scarlet ancient book, creating another self right in front of everyone!
The two of them looked identical even in terms of cultivation realm!
It was the Grand Pure Jade Manual from one of the Taboo Mystic Classics, the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual!
The crowd stirred when they saw that!
Qin Ce alone was already enough to fight Chess Immortal Jun Yu to a draw.
How would Jun Yu defend against the combined forces of two Qin Ces?
Back in the battle between Su Zimo and Yun Ting, it was after Su Zimo released his Primeval Body that Yun Ting was completely defeated.
And now, Qin Ce used the Grand Pure Jade Manual to condense a Morality Body.
Although the physique of the Morality Body was ordinary, its spirit consciousness was incomparably strong and could even release Essence Spirit secret skills!
On the battlefield.
Jun Yu's expression was calm. She was not flustered when she saw Qin Ce release his Morality Body.
"Since that's the case, I'll let you witness my capabilities."
Jun Yu conjured hand seals repeatedly with both hands and her spirit consciousness was expended immensely. An incomparably tremendous might descended as though the world was locked and restricted!
Pointing at Qin Ce, Jun Yu said softly, "Astral Imprisonment!"
Peerless divine power, Astral Imprisonment!
