Chapter 451: The Tournament Begins, Xiao Yan Under Siege!
As Wu Tian and Queen Medusa took their seats, the entire Thunder Mountain fell into a suffocating silence. Everyone knew that the presence of these five Venerables was not a joke. At any moment, an earth shattering battle could break out. If that happened, their fate would be sealed. The terrifying fiery aura that had just erupted from the sky was something they couldn't even resist it was a fear that came from deep within their souls, not an external force. They were certain that if Venerable Yan wanted to kill them, he could do so with just a thought.
As the entire arena remained in stunned silence, Venerable Lei once again stood up. He could no longer mention anything about disrupting the tournament after all, the biggest disruptor had already arrived. Saying anything more would only make things even more awkward. Instead, he simply waved his hand, and the crisp sound of a bell echoed across Thunder Mountain once more.
"This year's Four Pavilion Grand Tournament will feature fifty eight participants, including eight disciples from the Four Pavilions and the newly added Ziyan from Cai Lin Pavilion. The first round will follow the usual rule a chaotic battle until only eight participants remain. All contestants, enter the arena now!"
Venerable Lei announced the selection method with a helpless expression. Originally, there were only fifty three participants, but Wu Tian had brought three more. As a result, Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er also had to participate in the competition. To appease Venerable Yellow Spring and Venerable Sword, each pavilion was allowed to send two participants. The two Venerables had no objections they could only accept their misfortune.
In fact, they were eager to turn this round into an all out brawl and eliminate that Ziyan from Cai Lin Pavilion as soon as possible!
As soon as Venerable Lei finished speaking, the sound of rushing wind filled the air, and figures swiftly dashed into the arena. These participants, all under the age of thirty and at the Dou King level, made a grand entrance, their colorful Dou Qi dazzling the crowd. Thunderous cheers erupted from the audience, their voices shaking the mountaintop and soaring into the sky.
As the participants entered, Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er also moved gracefully into the arena. The moment these two stunning figures landed, the space around them cleared instantly. Everyone knew their strength after all, they had personally declared that they were at the Dou Ancestor level. Anyone foolish enough to challenge them would be asking for a beating!
As the main event of the tournament, the Four Pavilion disciples' arrival only intensified the excitement of the spectators. The atmosphere on the mountaintop reached its peak.
Among the contestants, Xiao Yan also stepped onto the battlefield. His entrance wasn't particularly flashy, but it still drew a lot of attention his earlier display had been far from ordinary.
The two types of flames covering his body had proven his monstrous strength, and the aura he had released was at the peak of the Dou King level. At this level, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders in the tournament. If Mu Qingluan and Feng Qing'er hadn't returned under the banner of Cai Lin Pavilion, he would have had an 80% chance of winning. But now, things were different.
Both Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan were Dou Ancestors, and they were exceptionally talented. How could he possibly compare?
Moreover, dark horses usually rose from the shadows. But now, Xiao Yan's strength was exposed, and he had no powerful backing.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, it was as if an invisible force repelled everyone around him, similar to what happened with Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan.
Naturally, his presence drew the attention of the crowd after all, he was the guy who had just unleashed the Heavenly Flame.
Was he lucky, or just extremely unlucky to have caught Venerable Yan's eye? Two types of Heavenly Flame... Even if Venerable Yan, who specialized in absorbing flames, wasn't here, others would still covet them!
Many participants had already set their sights on him. Among them was Huang Huang, the young master of Earth Spirit Gate.
When Huang Huang first saw Wu Tian appear, he was so terrified that he nearly wet his pants after all, Earth Spirit Gate had no Venerable to protect them, and his father had already hidden away in Yellow Spring Pavilion.
But when he saw that Venerable Yan wasn't planning to make a move, he quickly changed his pants and stepped into the arena!
He was a formidable Dou King himself, and he had several loyal followers with him. Naturally, they surrounded Xiao Yan, preparing to take him down!
"Since everyone is here, let the tournament begin!"
Venerable Lei waved his hand, his calm voice echoing in the ears of everyone present.
The moment his words fell, the atmosphere on the battlefield grew tense.
Fifty eight pairs of eyes scanned the arena, filled with vigilance toward one another. This chaotic battle would be absolute mayhem only the strongest could make it to the final eight.
Among all the contestants, Xiao Yan was in the worst possible situation.
The moment the match began, countless Dou King experts locked onto him!
"Kill!"
With that single command, over fifty powerful Dou Qi auras erupted across the battlefield, spreading chaos everywhere. The entire arena became a battleground where everyone was an enemy.
However, there were three notably calm areas around Mu Qingluan, Feng Qing'er, and Ziyan from Cai Lin Pavilion. No one dared to attack them.
They were simply too strong. Feng Qing'er and Mu Qingluan had declared themselves Dou Ancestors, and their prestigious backgrounds meant they wouldn't lie about it. Moreover, they had both admitted that Ziyan was even stronger than them. As peerless geniuses, they would never make such claims lightly.
That was proof enough that Ziyan was truly terrifying.
Thus, no one dared to approach the three women. They would deal with the other competitors first!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan faced the complete opposite situation over a dozen Dou King experts surrounded him, ready to take him down!
This was a full on gang up! But there was nothing Xiao Yan could do he wasn't a dark horse anymore; he was a white horse standing out in the open!
As a Dou King with two types of Heavenly Flames, his strength was fully exposed to the world.
With the Heavy Xuan Ruler in hand, the twin Yin Yang flames covered its surface, radiating both destruction and vitality.
Every time he swung his ruler, the white flames erupted in a powerful explosion, forcing back the surrounding Dou Kings. Meanwhile, the black flames enveloped his body, not only replenishing his Dou Qi but also granting him endless stamina!
The dual Yin Yang flames possessed both destructive and life giving properties, a testament to their terrifying power. Additionally, the presence of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame burning above him only made his aura more imposing.
He stood like a god of green flames, commanding the battlefield with overwhelming might!
"I remember now! He's the Green Yin Yang Emperor!"
"Uh... are you sure that's the right name? I thought he was the Myriad Beast Green Emperor?"
"He has many titles! I also heard he's called the Yin Yang Green Emperor!"
"Who cares? All that matters is that he's 'green' poor Dou King, getting outplayed by fate…"
