Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Did I Almost Kill You Guys?
Having reached the edge of the Pure Land, Yang Xiaotian leapt down and once again entered the Corpse Sea, then he utilized the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique to travel swiftly.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was speeding back using the Chaos Five Elements Escaping Technique, suddenly, an extremely terrifying power roared out from the depths of the Netherworld Corpse Sea.
It stirred up towering waves in the Netherworld Corpse Sea.
As the towering waves of the Netherworld Corpse Sea rose, all the fierce corpses within became abnormally violent, surging towards the periphery of the Corpse Sea.
The group of disciples who were originally hunting fierce corpses around the periphery of the Netherworld Corpse Sea saw the endless stream of fierce corpses continuously pouring out from the depths, and their faces changed drastically.
Lan Ye, Long Xuan, Yi Qi, and others were all shocked and retreated towards the exit.
But with the sudden increase in fierce corpses, it was not an easy matter for everyone to retreat back to the exit.
The elders of Guiyi Academy saw that the trial was about to end and that the fierce corpses of the Netherworld Corpse Sea had started to riot, they were all startled.
"Everyone, retreat to the exit quickly!" Lv Ming called out urgently, and at the same time, he, along with the other elders, flew forward, slaughtering the ceaseless tide of fierce corpses to buy more time for the disciples.
As Lv Ming and the other elders intercepted the tide of fierce corpses, the pressure on the disciples decreased, and they continuously retreated out of the exit amidst the battle.
After coming out of the exit, and seeing that there was still a quarter of an hour left until the end of the trial, Lv Ming asked everyone to count the number of people.
"Elder Lv, we are one person short," another elder said after counting, frowning: "It’s that disciple called Divine Yang from the Book Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Lv Ming said, "There is still a quarter of an hour left until the trial ends, so let’s wait a bit longer."
However, at this moment, more and more fierce corpses violently surged from the deeper parts of the Netherworld Corpse Sea, rushing towards the exit.
Everyone made a desperate stand.
"Elder Lv, we can’t wait any longer, these fierce corpses are getting more numerous, we are powerless to resist, if we don’t close the exit now, all of us will be in danger when these fierce corpses rush out!" Long Xuan said urgently.
Lv Ming’s face darkened.
Once the exit was closed, Yang Xiaotian, being in the Divine Emperor Realm, would definitely not be able to break open the restricted barrier again, and he would end up trapped and die within the Netherworld Corpse Sea!
"No way!" Lv Ming shook his head: "Since the trial time isn’t over yet, I cannot close the exit!"
While slaying fierce corpses, Lan Ye spoke in a deep voice, "If She Ancestor of the Book Pavilion later holds us accountable, I’ll have my father explain it to She Ancestor clearly. The She Ancestor understands reason, she’ll know the situation is urgent and won’t blame you!"
"Moreover, that one called Divine Yang may have already died in the Netherworld Corpse Sea by now!"
At this moment, Long Zhi also spoke up, "Now with the fierce corpses rioting, he, being a Fourfold Divine Emperor, can’t possibly still be alive!"
The other disciples also began expressing their opinions.
Lv Ming’s face changed, but suddenly, through the tide of fierce corpses, he saw a figure rushing towards the exit at high speed.
Seeing this figure, Lv Ming’s face lit up with joy. Drawing his sword, he plunged back toward the exit: "Hurry, Yang, over here!"
Seeing this, the other elders, left with no choice, drew their swords to enter and, led by Lv Ming, brought Yang Xiaotian out from the exit.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian emerge from the exit, Lv Ming didn’t hesitate any longer; his hands waved, gathering runes to seal into the barrier of restrictions, finally closing the mouth of the barrier.
Seeing the exit finally closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lan Ye, who had also breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and reproached Yang Xiaotian: "Do you realize that you almost got us killed just now?"
"I almost got you killed?" Yang Xiaotian’s face darkened.
"Alright, Lan girl, this matter can’t be blamed on Yang," Lv Ming interjected upon seeing this, "Those fierce corpses erupted into chaos, and it wasn’t Yang who instigated them."
"Now, everyone, hand over your Identity Tokens. I’ll tally your rankings."
Upon hearing this, everyone took out their Identity Tokens and handed them to Lv Ming.
Before the trial, Lv Ming had infused the Identity Tokens with a Formation that would record every fierce corpse slain.
This trial would rank everyone according to the number of fierce corpses they had killed.
As Lan Ye was the daughter of Guiyi Academy’s Headmaster, Lv Ming and the others tallied her count first.
"Twenty-one thousand three hundred sixty-two!"
After tallying, Lv Ming announced.
The group of disciples were all amazed upon hearing it.
Twenty-one thousand, over ten days, averaging more than two thousand fierce corpses killed per day; such a result was remarkable, and everyone knew these fierce corpses were very difficult to kill.
"Sister truly deserves to be the only disciple in our academy who has cultivated over one hundred Supreme Divine Techniques," Long Xuan said to Lan Ye with a smile.
In Guiyi Academy’s Divine Emperor Realm disciples, only Lan Ye had cultivated more than one hundred Supreme Divine Techniques.
Even Young Master Tianxin, who was at the forefront of the Four Sons of Sword Dao, had only cultivated ninety Supreme Divine Techniques. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Among the Four Sons of Sword Dao, Long Xuan had the best cultivation of Supreme Divine Techniques, with only ten.
"Although I’ve cultivated many Supreme Divine Techniques," Lan Ye laughed, "their power is average, nowhere near comparable to the Supreme Divine Techniques that Long Junior Brother has cultivated."
This was indeed true, Lan Ye had cultivated many Supreme Divine Techniques, but many of their powers did not compare to the ten Supreme Divine Techniques cultivated by Long Xuan.
And all of Long Xuan’s ten Supreme Divine Techniques had reached Perfection, while most of Lan Ye’s were still at the Great Accomplishment Realm.
Afterwards, Lv Ming began tallying Long Xuan’s and Yi Qi’s.
Their counts were twenty-one thousand two hundred twenty-three and twenty-one thousand ninety-seven, respectively, ranking second and third.
As for the other disciples, they all fell below twenty thousand. Long Zhi and Feng Zhishu both had over seventeen thousand, ranking them fifth and sixth.
Because Yang Xiaotian’s Realm was the lowest, his was tallied last.
Soon, Yang Xiaotian’s tally came out.
"Fifteen thousand six hundred thirty-four!" Lv Ming read out, his face clearly surprised.
Initially, he had thought that Yang Xiaotian, a Fourfold Divine Emperor, would do well to slain a few hundred fierce corpses in ten days. He didn’t expect it to be over fifteen thousand.
If Yang Xiaotian’s count was correct, he would rank exactly tenth!
"What, over fifteen thousand! Impossible!" Long Zhi exclaimed upon hearing it, "How could he, a Fourfold Divine Emperor, possibly have killed so many fierce corpses!"
Many disciples, even those of Ten Layers Divine Emperor Realm, also couldn’t believe it, as they hadn’t killed that many fierce corpses themselves.
"Could it be a mistake in recording on his Identity Token?" Long Xuan said with a severe tone.
Lan Ye and Yi Qi also looked doubtful.
After rechecking Yang Xiaotian’s Identity Token, Lv Ming found nothing wrong, and even after having other elders check, there were no issues.
Yang Xiaotian’s expression was calm. All along the way, he had almost always been escaping at the bottom of the Corpse Sea, encountering very few fierce corpses; otherwise, the number of fierce corpses he killed in a day could have been several times this count.
However, even though he had missed out on the first place in this trial, he had found the Bright Buddha Relic, a Twelve Grade Golden Lotus of the fifty-million-year grade, and a large pond of Golden Buddha Holy Water, so Yang Xiaotian didn’t feel there was anything to regret.
