Chapter 2004: The Bet (1)
After the competition, the rankings would be released two hours later. At the same time, it was also the most crucial and exciting part of the ranking battle because challenges would appear at that time.
The challengers were all extraordinary existences. Moreover, they would all act according to their abilities. If they were not careful, they would be destroyed or seriously injured.
Generally speaking, Lower True Gods wouldn’t dare to challenge Middle True Gods, and Middle True Gods wouldn’t dare to challenge Higher True Gods.
The rules of the challenge were not announced. Although most of the rules were similar, before the rules of the ranking battle were announced, everything was unknown.
Two hours was the time for the experts to prepare and rest. It was also the time for the judges and the Lightning Sword Pavilion to decide the rankings. It was also the time for the family and sect to reveal their secrets to the experts below.
If he wanted to obtain a ranking, he would have to invest a lot of money.
The competition was just a process of elimination, to eliminate some weak experts.
A challenge was the real showdown.
" There’s no need for a Lower True God to participate in the challenge. Even if he wins against a Middle True God, he won’t be able to win against a High True God. Even if he wins, he’ll be challenged by other High True Gods and be completely destroyed. "
An elder of an orange-level sect who was only a Low-Level True God said to the experts participating in the competition.
"Yun Lan, this is the clan’s most powerful treasure. With your cultivation, you can only use it once. I hope that it will be able to help you at the most crucial moment. Whether or not you can obtain the top hundred rewards will depend on your luck."
A sect Grand Elder with a middle-level True God expert took out a mysterious treasure and handed it to the middle-level True God expert from his sect who was participating in the competition. His expression was serious as he spoke solemnly.
" Be careful of that Li Lingtian. He’s even more terrifying than an Upper Level True God. Even I can’t see his strength. Don’t challenge him unless it’s absolutely necessary. "
A Superior Real God said seriously. He was utterly speechless by Li Lingtian’s performance in the ranking battle. Even a Superior Real God like him could not tell the depth of Li Lingtian’s abilities.
" Don’t provoke Li Lingtian. Even if you’re challenging a Superior True God, don’t provoke Li Lingtian so easily. If you treat him like a Middle True God, you’ll be in trouble. "
An Intermediate Real God elder said to his fellow disciples. He was worried that his fellow disciples would challenge Li Lingtian. Although Li Lingtian was an Intermediate Real God, his means and strength had already surpassed that of an Intermediate Real God.
" If you really encounter Li Lingtian, you might be able to defeat him with this Superior Innate Divine Artifact combined with the Forbidden Divine Ability. However, the chances are slim. "
A High-Level True God elder took out a high-quality innate divine weapon and said solemnly.
In these two hours, the elders and fellow disciples of the families and sects participating in the ranking battle were basically giving advice to their fellow disciples on how to challenge them to win and who to challenge to have a chance.
However, most of the time, these clans and sects told their subordinates not to provoke Li Lingtian and to avoid him as much as possible.
For a moment, Li Lingtian was regarded as a heaven-defying monster that should not be provoked by the powerhouses of the Sects. There was no need to show off and seek death. Although Li Lingtian would not easily injure or kill an opponent, he might end up threatening him if he sought death. He might even use some Forbidden Divine Ability and it would be too late for regrets.

"This ranking battle is really something to watch."
" This Li Lingtian is too heaven-defying. There’s really hope for him to enter the top 100 or even the top 50. "
In the main hall of the Lightning Sword Pavilion.
The ten envoys of the Divine Temple, the Guardian Sect Master of the Lightning Sword Pavilion, and the ancestor gathered together.
Wenren Tian said with a smile. His face was filled with envy.
"It’s indeed too heaven-defying."
" Did you guys notice that he didn’t care at all? That’s because there’s no one in the same level that he’s interested in. Therefore, we can’t see through his true strength. "
Luo Tian, who was one of the ten envoys, spoke up. The only explanation for Li Lingtian’s lack of interest in the three rounds of competition was that he did not meet any opponents that he was interested in or any powerhouses that could threaten him.
"Let’s rank first."
"Rank them out."
Wang Tianling spoke at this moment and took out a comment from all three rounds of competition. These comments were a summary of the rankings of the experts and how they would be ranked.
They were compared according to their divine arts, cultivation, strength, and experience.
Although such a ranking was only a theoretical victory or defeat, it was very reliable. Unless one encountered a dark horse, a heaven-defying monster, or a powerful treasure or divine power, it was rare for one to make a mistake.
" Blood Sword Pavilion Guiyuan Sword God Nalan Yunting, first place. "
" Purple Essence Sect’s Thunder God Zhao Yuxiao, second place. "
" Fairy Qingshui of the Water Division Pavilion, Ling Yunmin, third place. "
" These are the top three. The three of them are all at the consummate level of True God. According to their previous battle achievements and strength, as well as their treasures and divine arts, this ranking is basically about the same. "
Wang Tianling spoke of his views on the top three people and turned to look at the others. Although he was representing the Divine Temple, there could not be any favoritism or negligence in this matter.
They had to make everyone’s opinions unified. One person’s judgment might not be able to judge a powerhouse, but the judgment of more than 20 people was basically correct. Even if they made a mistake, if they were not satisfied with the ranking, they would still challenge.
"Yes, the top three are basically like this."
"Let’s decide the next ranking."
" By the way, Brother Wang, where do you think Li Lingtian will be staying? "
Wenren Wuhen and the other experts had no objections to the top three. They agreed with Wang Tianling’s opinion.
However, they were all curious about Li Lingtian’s ranking.
Wenren Wuhen looked at Wang Tianling curiously. Although this ranking was decided by everyone, Wang Tianling represented the Divine Temple and was more or less the leader.
" Li Lingtian’s ranking can’t be wrong. "
"When the time comes, let him accept more tests. This is the intention of the higher-ups."
Wang Tianling was stunned for a moment, then he said indifferently.
As he spoke, he pointed upward, indicating that it was the higher-ups ’intention. Wenren Wuhen and the others naturally knew what this meant.
At the same time, Wang Tianling wrote the ranking behind Li Lingtian’s name. The twenty odd people were stunned for a moment before they reacted and laughed out loud.

Little Cloud Island was a quiet place.
The island was only a hundred thousand kilometers in size, but there were hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered here. There was no place to be quiet.
However, in the most remote places, there were still quiet places.
This place, which was originally considered quiet, had now become the most lively place on Little Cloud Island. It was also the place with the most people.
This was because this was the casino for the ranking battle.
Countless experts came here to bet on who would win and who would enter the top 100.
However, in this place, the most popular one was still Li Lingtian from the Blue Moon Sect. After him were a few top-notch Upper Level True Gods and the top three Perfected True Gods from the three major sects.
" This is Li Lingtian’s special ranking. The odds on Li Lingtian entering the top 100 are double. "
"The odds for entering the top 90 are twice as high."
"The odds of entering the top 80 are three times."
"The odds of entering the top 70 are four times."
"The odds of entering the top 60 are five times."
"The odds of entering the top 50 are six times."
"The odds of entering the top 40 are seven times."
"The odds of entering the top 30 are eight times."
"The odds of entering the top 20 are nine times."
"The odds of entering the top ten are ten times."
" Go! " a True God shouted at the place with the most people.
At the same time, he also mentioned the odds. In other words, if you bet on it, you would receive double the reward. If you bet on 100 top-grade spirit stones, you might get twice, three times, or even more.
Moreover, there was a rather large plaque in this place. On it were the odds and rankings, as well as some rules.
However, if you can’t win this bet, you can’t return the bet.
Similarly, the banker was also taking a huge risk. If everyone bet on Li Lingtian entering the top 100 and Li Lingtian only managed to enter the top 100, the banker would lose badly.
" I bet ten thousand Supreme Spiritual Stones on Li Lingtian entering the top hundred. "
" I bet twenty thousand Supreme Spiritual Stones on Li Lingtian entering the top hundred. "
" I bet ten thousand Supreme Spiritual Stones on Li Lingtian entering the top ninety. "
" I bet 30,000 Supreme Spiritual Stones on Li Lingtian entering the top 80. "
“..”
The risk of betting on the rankings alone was very high. Some bet more, while others bet less.
However, most of the people were betting on Li Lingtian to enter the top 100 and top 90. There were also quite a few people in the top 80 and top 70.
However, very few people placed their bets on Li Lingtian to enter the top fifty. None of them placed their bets on Li Lingtian to enter the top ten.
" I bet one million Supreme Spiritual Stones on Li Lingtian entering the top ten. "
At this moment, a low-level Martial Honor female cultivator came to the betting area and said loudly. As she spoke, she threw a storage bag onto the table.
This Supreme Realm cultivator was very ordinary, and she was a woman.
Instantly, countless powerhouses were stunned by the woman’s words. One million Supreme Spiritual Stones to bet on Li Lingtian entering the top ten? Was that not courting death?
No matter how powerful Li Lingtian was, it was impossible for him to enter the top ten.
Moreover, it was too shocking for an ordinary female Supreme Realm cultivator to take out a million top-grade spirit stones at once.
However, some people soon realized that they might have concealed their cultivation base and looks. Otherwise, how could they possibly have one million Supreme Spiritual Stones to bet on Li Lingtian to enter the top ten?
" One million best-grade spirit stones. Not bad. "
" Are you sure you want to bet one million on Li Lingtian entering the top ten? "
The gambler was shocked. After checking the Spiritual Stones, he found that one million Supreme Spiritual Stones was not a small amount. It was definitely not a troublemaker. However, he still did not believe that this Revered Martial Artist girl would bet one million on Li Lingtian’s entry into the top ten.
Therefore, he asked to confirm if this woman had made a mistake. Although he was envious of the one million best-grade spirit stones, he couldn’t do anything rash with everyone watching.
