Chapter 4116 - The Palace of Death, the Arena of Death, and the Bell of Death

"The death pact has been signed by both parties."

The eyes of the students of the Myriad Laws Academy lit up as they watched Yuan Dong Chun toss the stone tablet into the Palace of Death. The crowd grew larger and larger as more students and even teachers gathered after receiving news of the life-or-death battle.

"Duan Ling Tian is going to fight a life-or-death battle against Wang Yun Sheng and the other four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation?"

"Is he crazy? Does he have a death wish?"

The newcomers, who came to watch the life-or-death battle, also felt that Duan Ling Tian had a death wish. After all, the combined strength of the five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation was enough to make them invincible among those prodigies below the age of 10,000 in the Profound Energy Land. Wang Yun Sheng, a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, was one of the top young prodigies in the Profound Energy Land and was said to be one of the candidates to be the successor of the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. As for the other four disciples, they were also top disciples in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation even if they were no match for Wang Yun Sheng individually. If the four of them joined forces, they would definitely be able to kill Wang Yun Sheng. If Wang Yun Sheng fought them in an open space, perhaps, he could avoid death and escaped with his superior speed. However, in a close space like the Palace of Death, he would not be able to avoid death if he fought the four of them in a life-or-death battle.

"I thought Duan Ling Tian was just trying to intimidate them. I didn't expect him to sign a death pact with Wang Yun Sheng and the others."

"I wonder what's going through his mind. Does he not know how strong Wang Yun Sheng and the others are?"

"I guess he doesn't. Otherwise, why would he do this? None of the prodigies below the age of 10,000 dares to say they are capable of defeating five of them at once, let alone killing them. Duan Ling Tian is not even 3,000 years old… I don't know why he thinks he's capable of killing them."

"Isn't he Vice Academy Master Yang's junior brother? Why didn't Vice Academy Master Yang stop him?"

"Who knows? Perhaps, Vice Academy Master Yang is in closed-door cultivation…"

According to the rules, Duan Ling Tian could no longer back out of the life-or-death battle after signing the death pact. Otherwise, he would be sentenced to death by the Myriad Laws Academy. For this reason, no one dared to break the death pact. Moreover, those who signed the death pact were usually confident about their abilities.

"Now that the death pact has been signed, you may all enter the arena."

Under Yuan Dong Chun's lead, Wang Yun Sheng, his fellow disciples, Duan Ling Tian, and the crowd entered the Palace of Death.

The spacious dark hall lit up as soon as Yuan Dong Chun waved his hand. In the center of the hall, a mysterious and translucent spherical barrier created by a Formation hovered in midair.

"This is the Formation for the Arena of Death. Only the teacher on duty and the Academy Master have control over this Formation."

"It's said that the barrier can withstand the full force of a rudimentary Supreme God. If it's true, the barrier is truly strong!"

"According to the rules, the barrier won't disappear until one of the opponents dies. No one can interfere during the battle as well. Otherwise, they'll also be considered to have broken the academy's rules, and they'll be punished."

"There's no turning back for Duan Ling Tian. What a pity! An outstanding prodigy is going to perish in the Palace of Death today."

"You're right… What a pity…"

Almost everyone, including Yuan Dong Chun, thought that it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to survive. He thought about Yang Yu Chen's confidence that Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill Wang Yun Sheng and his fellow disciples, and he could not help but feel doubtful. However, based on his understanding of Yang Yu Chen, he knew Yang Yu Chen would not say such words lightly. If Duan Ling Tian was truly capable of killing the five of them today, he would become the top young prodigy in the Profound Energy Land.

'Does Duan Ling Tian really have the capability to kill them?'

Regardless of Yuan Dong Chun's opinion, he did not wish for Duan Ling Tian to die in the life-or-death battle. After all, Duan Ling Tian was the junior brother of his old friend, Yang Yu Chen. It was unfortunate that there was nothing he could do since the death pact had been signed. Only the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy could save Duan Ling Tian at this time. However, the Academy Master would not intervene since his credibility would be questioned if he intervened in a life-or-death battle.

'There's no turning back now,' Yuan Dong Chun thought to himself with a sigh. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and the five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation solemnly as he said, "I'll bring you into the Arena of Death now. Don't resist the energy, and don't make a move as soon as you enter the arena. Wait until the Bell of Death rings. Otherwise, you'll be killed by the arena's Formation."

As soon as Yuan Dong Chun's voice fell, Duan Ling Tian felt a powerful energy shrouding him immediately. The energy sent him and the others into the spherical barrier.

"Everyone, please keep a distance from the Arena of Death. The Palace of Death won't be responsible if you're accidentally killed by the Formation," Yuan Dong Chun said warningly.

The crowd froze when they heard Yuan Dong Chun's words. Some of them even gasped when they were reminded again of the Formation's terrifying strength.

At this time, a young man standing among the crowd shook his head and sighed. 'Duan Ling Tian, why are you so foolish?'

The young man was none other than Tan Fei, whose room was next to Duan Ling Tian's. He had found out a little later about Duan Ling Tian's life-or-death battle with the five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. He felt rather regretful that he was not present earlier. Even if he knew Duan Ling Tian would not listen to him, he still wanted to dissuade Duan Ling Tian. He also wondered if no one tried to dissuade Duan Ling Tian at all. After all, as Yang Yu Chen's junior brother, Duan Ling Tian should have a lot of connections in the academy even if he had just joined recently. Even if the others were worried about offending the Lone Primal Spirit Congregation, they could still dissuade through Voice Transmission.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian received many messages dissuading him from fighting in a life-or-death battle during his journey to the Palace of Death. However, he ignored all of them. After all, how could he give up on such a good opportunity to seek revenge?

When Duan Ling Tian, Wang Yun Sheng, Hong Li, and the others entered the Arena of Death, the other three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, who had left the meeting earlier, shook their heads, thinking that Duan Ling Tian was doomed to die. They had rushed over to the Palace of Death as soon as they received the news.

Hu Lan Qi, the disciple from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation who was only second to Wang Yun Sheng in the Myriad Laws Academy, scoffed and said mockingly, "Wang Yun Sheng is getting worse. He only dared to accept the challenge with the help of Hong Li and the others…"

One of the other two disciples said with a chuckle, "In my opinion, Senior Brother Hu is more suitable to be a Holy Son. Wang Yun Sheng might have been stronger than you in the past, but that's not necessarily the case now…"

"That's right," the other disciple chimed in, "Everyone in the congregation knows that he only became a Holy Son because of his background. Senior Brother Hu, you'd be even more outstanding if you had such a background as well."

In the arena, Duan Ling Tian stood across from Wang Yun Sheng and his fellow disciples. While the crowd was still growing, he mobilized his Divine Energy through his 99 Heavenly Veins, waiting for the Bell of Death to ring.

Similarly, Wang Yun Sheng and his fellow disciples were also prepared to make a move.

At this time, Hong Li said kindly through Voice Transmission, "Junior Brother Yun Sheng, why don't you make a move against him first? If you can kill him on your own, no one will dare to question your ability anymore. If you're no match for him, the four of us will step in and join forces with you."

Wang Yun Sheng was naturally moved by Hong Li's suggestion.
