Chapter 1300 - 1300: Combat Power Zero

Five seconds later, the Three-Eyed Tiger flew out backward, spitting blood.

Bang!

He crashed heavily to the ground, his demon body beaten back into its original form.

The onlookers burst into uproarious laughter.

"Hahahahaha, that was way too fast, right?"

"This Tiger Demon practically broke the record."

"Record for fastest elimination?"

"Too trash…"

"You can't even call that a poor performance, you can only call it utterly miserable!"

"Combat power 0, that's honestly my first time seeing that."

"Does that mean he's completely clueless about Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array?"

"That's outrageous."

Even Brother Cheng couldn't help but cover his face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"You don't even qualify as a 'rough draft,' how are people supposed to live this down?"

Yan Yi also couldn't help shaking her head.

"Every place you go, you spit blood once—do you have some kind of special kink?"

Being mocked by other people was one thing, but being questioned by a girl about his capability made the Three-Eyed Tiger feel his self-esteem take a hit.

"Combat power 0?"

He scrambled up in one roll.

"Your grandpa here is the strongest Supreme, and you dare say my combat power is 0?"

"What kind of joke is that?"

"It must be this Testing Immortal Array that's broken!"

Shame turning into anger, he roused all his Immortal Power, mobilized his Origin, and swiped a claw toward that Immortal Array.

With his Ultimate Level power, this claw might not literally destroy heaven and earth, but at the very least it should remodel the landscape a bit.

Yet something utterly jaw-dropping happened.

After he swung that claw down, absolutely nothing happened.

No dazzling Immortal Power storm, no rampaging Origin wreaking havoc.

The Testing Immortal Array remained perfectly intact, and not a single hair on anyone present was harmed.

The whole thing looked exactly like an ordinary person casually waving their hand.

"Hahahahaha…"

The crowd exploded into laughter again.

"This Tiger Demon is honestly the weakest I've ever seen."

"Truly combat power 0!"

"Even a Demon Race member who's not good at this Dao shouldn't be this bad, right?"

"So trash it hurts…"

A certain Immortal who was only Emperor Realm Third Layer even jumped out.

"Hey, Tiger Demon, let your grandpa here teach you what a proper attacking posture looks like."

With that, this Immortal also swung a palm.

A fierce blast of Gang Feng rushed out, violent Immortal Power erupted midair and set off a mini storm.

Although this strike was still far too weak when compared to the Emperor Realm…

Compared with the Three-Eyed Tiger, it was like heaven versus earth.

"See that?"

"That's what's called combat power!"

That Emperor Realm Third Layer Immortal raised his head and puffed out his chest, glancing sidelong at the Three-Eyed Tiger with disdain, acting all high and mighty.

He pissed the Three-Eyed Tiger off so much that he almost spat blood again.

Lazy as he was with cultivation, he'd never fallen so low that some loser eight Great Realms below him got to sit on his face and show off.

"What the hell is going on?"

"What the hell is this place?"

To be honest, although Brother Cheng was shaking his head and laughing as well, he was inwardly quite puzzled.

The Three-Eyed Tiger's spectacular crash made even him a bit uncertain.

If he went into that so-called Testing Immortal Array and also flew out backward spitting blood, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

Luckily, there was Ming Jia Daoist Venerable, a true old hand, traveling with them.

"Sect Leader Jiang, there's something you may not know: combat power in Refining Heart Dao isn't quite the same as outside."

"Here, only your Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array attainments can be converted into combat power."

"Anything else, whether Immortal Power, Divine Soul, or whatever, is completely invalid in this place."

"Precisely because of this, Pill Masters and Artifact Masters of Refining Heart Dao are much stronger than other Immortals here; you could say this is their natural Sacred Land."

Hearing this explanation, Brother Cheng and Fan Lei Daoist Venerable both twitched the corners of their mouths.

"There's actually a place like this?"

No wonder the Three-Eyed Tiger's combat power was 0 just now.

The Demon Race is inherently not good at Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array.

And this Tiger Demon was the "cream of the crop" among them; he'd never even looked at the most low-level Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array knowledge from the Lower Realm.

Even among high-tier Demon Race, that made him a rare oddball.

After all, once they reach Celestial Venerable Daoist Venerable, even Demon Race will dabble a little in other paths.

You could say that in this place, even a Mortal Level First Grade Pill Master could beat him.

"This Land of Dao Extinction is too bizarre, every area has some freakish world rules that defy common sense."

Think about it: Blood Demon Dao lets you gain insights by killing, and Duan Yang Dao gives you benefits for taking on challenges—every one is some inexplicable set of rules.

Ming Jia Daoist Venerable laughed loudly. "If it were normal, it wouldn't be called the Land of Dao Extinction."

"Precisely because there's no Heavenly Dao maintaining order, all sorts of heaven-and-earth rules appear that outsiders find unbelievable."

"That's part of the Land of Dao Extinction's 'charm.'"

He glanced at the Testing Immortal Array in front of them. "This array requires at least 500 combat power to enter; the bar isn't that high."

"A Third Grade Emperor Pill Master corresponds to 500 combat power, or if your alchemy attainment is a bit weak, having your other Artifact Talisman Array reach Emperor Level First Grade or Second Grade can also roughly make up the 500 combat power."

After he said that, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable actually started feeling smug.

"Who would've thought that some minor paths I randomly studied would actually be useful here."

As Chief of the Divine Thunder Bureau, his specialty definitely wasn't alchemy and artifact refining.

But as a Daoist Venerable of the Celestial Palace, over his long years he'd dabbled in Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array.

He might not have any special talent in those Daos, but his level was passable.

His alchemy was at the Second-grade Emperor Pill Master level; artifact refining and talisman refining were both First Grade; as for array refining, that was also Second Grade.

Added together, that was just about enough to meet the 500 combat power entry requirement.

"I'll go in first and wait for you inside!"

"If you can't get in, that just means your own Daoist Practice isn't up to par."

He acted like he was some kind of 'light of the team,' actually developing a sense of superiority.

Right before going in, he even gave the Three-Eyed Tiger a meaningful sideways glance.

"I'm not running away early, it's just that certain weaklings can't keep up."

"I can't just stop and wait, can I? Don't you all agree?"

He curled his lips and then stepped into the Testing Immortal Array alone.

Outside, the Three-Eyed Tiger was so pissed his liver hurt.

"What's that old fart so proud about?"

"A mere deserter, and he actually has the nerve!"

"Brother, do you have any way to make him fail the test?"

Brother Cheng thought to himself, actually, yes.

If he fired off a 'Deprivation Blessing' at Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, that guy would definitely crash and burn.

But then again, that old man counted as one of his premium customers, and along the way he hadn't shown any murderous intent toward him; and depriving a Daoist Venerable would cost tens of billions of Immortal Yuan Points, so Brother Cheng didn't feel it was worth it.

Thanks to his leniency, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable's test went fairly smoothly.

Inside the Testing Immortal Town, after spending a full half a刻, he finally passed.

"Where is he?"

"He just went straight in like that?"

The Three-Eyed Tiger curled his lip maliciously. "Hopefully it's a trap inside, I curse him to get beaten to a pulp in there."

"Alright, our turn."

Jiang Cheng walked up to the Testing Immortal Array.
