The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

2429 He Didn’t Come?

Realization dawned on Chu Liuyue. No wonder. As cultivators, who doesn’t want to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall and become a deity? However, very few people can succeed. Moreover, once they fail, they will have to pay with their lives.

If they aren’t confident enough, they wouldn’t make such a choice so easily. After all, nothing is more precious than one’s own life. As long as one is alive, there is still hope. If one is dead, it will really be over.

Chu Liuyue glanced at Xiao Ran. “So… Senior Xiao Ran, didn’t enter this life-and-death challenge before?”

“Of course not!” Xiao Ran gritted his teeth with a matter-of-fact expression. “It’s better to live than die. I’d rather wait another 10,000 years than stretch my neck over and be at the mercy of others!”

Chu Liuyue said, “…If even someone like you isn’t willing to enter the life-and-death challenge, then the others…”

“Sigh, you’re wrong about that.” Xiao Ran laughed and raised his chin. “There are many people in Fantasy Divine Palace who are willing to risk their lives! Just watch. Many people will come in later!”

Chu Liuyue looked up.

Sure enough, a young man had already stood up outside the door. “I, Fang Xuning, want to challenge the supremacy in a competition!”

This man looked to be about 30 years old. He had a strong figure, a bronze face with distinct edges and corners, and a pair of eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit.

“See, this is what they’re willing to fight for.” Xiao Ran said in a low voice, “Tsk.”

“If it were anything else, it would be fine. They would more or less have a chance to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall in advance, but warriors don’t. These legendary warriors, regardless of their strength, only have this choice in the end. If they don’t choose, they really won’t have any chance at all.”

Was it cruel? Of course.

However, this was the Fantasy Divine Palace’s rule—the strong were respected! This was the most irrefutable principle here!

“But this Fang Xuning is quite strong. I think he can really…”

Chu Liuyue listened and didn’t speak.

Those who dared to be first were naturally capable.

At this point, Ruan Jianfeng had already let him in. “Come in.”

Fang Xuning took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, and walked into the Fantasy Divine Hall!

…

He walked straight and quickly arrived at one of the Xuan formations.

A faint light shone, and a domineering aura pressed against his chest.

Fang Xuning’s heart skipped a beat as he bowed with cupped fists. “Legendary warrior Fang Xuning invites the Fourth Deity for a fight!”

Hearing this, Chu Liuyue was stunned. “Invite the Fourth Deity to fight? He’s…”

Xiao Ran leaned closer and explained in a low voice, “You might not know this, but the so-called life-and-death challenge is when a cultivator enters and chooses a deity to fight according to their competition domain.”

“Then, won’t they definitely lose?”

“Not necessarily. After the deity enters the competition area, their strength and realm will be suppressed and will be on par with the challenger. This way, the challenger’s chances of winning will increase greatly. As long as the challenger can win, they will pass this round!”

As Xiao Ran spoke, he pointed at the Fourth Deity. “Furthermore, this deity isn’t randomly chosen. If Fang Xuning was a legendary warrior, he wouldn’t have chosen a Xuan Master like the Seventh Deity to challenge, right?”

Chu Liuyue understood. “I see…”

These deities each had their own duties, and their fields of expertise were different. If a cultivator wanted to pass the life-and-death challenge, there were actually only a few choices.

“However, this Fang Xuning is really bold. He actually chose the Fourth Deity directly. The Fourth Deity has been the one overseeing the lightning pool for many years…”

Although the Fourth Deity couldn’t fully control the lightning pool previously, everyone felt that it was an accident. After all, even the Second Deity and the others had to attack together to barely suppress it. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone in the Fantasy Divine Palace, Mu Dongyou was still extremely strong.

Chu Liuyue nodded.

Hearing this, Mu Dongyou didn’t seem surprised. He flew up and landed on the Xuan formation.

He sized up Fang Xuning and smiled. “You have some guts!”

It was indeed not bad to be the first to stand up. Mu Dongyou had always admired such a person.

Fang Xuning’s heart beat violently a few times as he cupped fists. “Please guide me, Fourth Deity!”

With that, he staggered slightly, his muscles tense.

His holy force surged, and a shocking aura instantly exploded!

Seeing this scene, Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly. This Fang Xuning… is indeed one of the top legendary warriors. I just don’t know if he can beat Mu Dongyou in this round.

The next moment, Fang Xuning’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!

Mu Dongyou’s expression turned cold, and he immediately attacked!

It was as if he had eyes behind him. Without hesitation, he turned around and pushed out a palm!

Bam!

A muffled sound was heard!

The two people’s fists collided!

This was the first move they exchanged. Fang Xuning clearly didn’t hold back at all and used his full strength!

Against an expert like Mu Dongyou, this was indeed the only way.

If they ended the battle quickly, there might still be half a chance. The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for the challenging party. After all, although their cultivation had been suppressed to the same level… As a deity, Mu Dongyou’s own strength was still greater.

It would be harder the longer the challenger endured!

Fang Xuning also understood this, so he attacked with a killing move!

A shocking energy fluctuation spread in all directions, with the two of them as the center!

But when the violent power reached the edge of the competition arena, it seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier, which quietly swallowed and annihilated it!

All the confrontations and attacks were firmly trapped in that competition area.

After a moment of stalemate, blood slowly seeped out of the corner of Fang Xuning’s mouth.

It was obvious that Mu Dongyou wasn’t easy to deal with! After all, he was the Fourth Deity.

“I’m afraid it’s a little difficult for him to win this round… Even if he wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory,” said Chu Liuyue softly.

An intense fight was inevitable.

“So what if it’s a tragic victory? As long as they can ascend to the heavens and break through to reach the Deity Realm, the price paid is actually nothing.” Xiao Ran seemed to be used to it.

“Oh right, I remember that some time ago, you had a kid who also broke through to become a legendary warrior?”

Chu Liuyue was stunned. “You mean Little Zhou?”

“That’s right! He didn’t come?” Xiao Ran glanced out the door.

Although the young man with short, soft blond hair was silent, his talent and strength were extremely good.

Chu Liuyue thought for a while.

During this period of time, she had indeed not seen Little Zhou much. But even if he came, she didn’t approve of letting him enter this life-and-death challenge.

“He just broke through to become a legendary warrior not long ago. I don’t think he has a good chance of winning.” She smiled.

Xiao Ran thought about it and agreed. “Apart from him, don’t you have a few subordinates who are also quite strong? Cen Yi… Cen Yi? That’s his name, right? He didn’t come either?”
