Chapter 1276 - 1376: Yun Tian's Disaster

"I didn't expect you to achieve this step, let's say I lost!" Elder Xuantian said with a smile.

Actually, Elder Xuantian saw Ye Tianfan's poison resistance was able to resist his poison, but he knew every medical cultivator is proficient in tens of thousands of poisons, especially an experienced one like him who masters tens of thousands more. Although the poison he used wasn't his strongest, not even medium-level, the fact that Ye Tianfan could resist this level of poison...

It meant that without using higher-level poisons, he simply couldn't harm Ye Tianfan much.

However, if Elder Xuantian used higher-level poison, then the large and multiple arrays released by Celestial Master Taichu would be ineffective, requiring special arrays to block them. Elder Xuantian felt there was no need; it was just an entertaining martial tournament, not requiring powerful moves. Besides, if he actually harmed Ye Tianfan, Ye Tianfan would be either dead or severely injured, as high-level poison is extremely aggressive!

"I'll step down now!" Elder Xuantian announced to the referee, then turned around and left the arena.

Ye Tianfan watched the departing figure of Elder Xuantian, dumbfounded. What was going on? How did he win again? He seemed not to have done anything but grabbed the Poison Arrow. How did that result in victory?

Ye Tianfan shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it. Since he won, there was no need to overthink. Time to prepare for the next duel! Then Ye Tianfan turned to leave the arena, heading towards the person responsible for drawing lots.

While drawing lots for the third round, Ye Tianfan felt indifferent because he thought making it to the third round was already impressive. Besides, it likely wouldn't have more opponents who surrender easily!

After drawing lots, Ye Tianfan returned to the stands, finding Senior Brother Yun Tian waiting there, so he curiously asked, "Senior Brother Yun Tian, which number did you draw?"

Ye Tianfan didn't directly ask if Senior Brother Yun Tian won but indirectly inquired by asking about the drawn lot number about his victory.

Senior Brother Yun Tian took out the slip and showed Ye Tianfan the number, "I have number seventeen, and yours?"

"I have number forty-seven!" Ye Tianfan also revealed his lot slip, but soon realized something was wrong. Apparently, number seventeen's opponent was number forty-seven, meaning his opponent was Senior Brother Yun Tian?

Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Yun Tian quickly realized it too, the always smiling expression vanished from his face; he never imagined he'd face Ye Tianfan in the next match. Such a small chance, yet they encountered each other, which was truly frustrating!

Moreover, importantly, Ye Tianfan had no way around this, but there was a silver lining - Ye Tianfan knew he would surely win the next round!

Because once Ye Tianfan activated the Xuanhuang Tower, Senior Brother Yun Tian couldn't break its defense, then Ye Tianfan would directly enter cannon mode!

Then Ye Tianfan would become a pure artillery platform, everyone knew how exhilarating it was to operate a protected artillery platform!

However, while Ye Tianfan felt happy, Senior Brother Yun Tian felt unhappy; he didn't expect to be defeated in the third round. In the first and second rounds, he luckily faced participants of the same rank, winning easily. Unexpectedly, karma came swiftly.

Senior Brother Yun Tian felt helpless, walking aside with a gloomy face to sulk alone!

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Tianfan, for advancing to the next round!" Bai Feng congratulated Ye Tianfan with a mischievous grin.

After all, seeing Senior Brother Yun Tian who eliminated him suffering was a great pleasure for Bai Feng!

"Hehehe." Ye Tianfan also grinned mischievously after hearing, then shifted his gaze to the arena. Since Ye Tianfan's battle ended quickly, there were still many ongoing battles on stage, so Ye Tianfan watched those thinking they were not on the same level as his!

Ye Tianfan watched as his thoughts started to drift away because many fights were extremely glamorous, some like silk or smoke, others like waterfalls descending from the sky, and even some shining with golden light, a magnificent spectacle.

Ye Tianfan gazed upon the beautiful scene, getting somewhat absorbed. If Qin Ruomeng were here, watching with him, how wonderful it would be. He wouldn't have to rush back, always finding opportunities, just continually training himself!

I wonder how Qin Ruomeng and the others are doing. I've been here for years; who knows how long it's been there. Hopefully, when I return, they won't be gone. Most importantly, I feel I've somewhat lost myself in pursuit of power. Although I realize this, I can't change it because I do have an urgent need for power growth.

You know, Celestial Master Taichu took thousands of years to reach this realm. Great Yama has been here for five hundred years, but I really don't have that much time to waste here. Despite only spending a few years cultivating to this point, Ye Tianfan felt his growth rate was starting to slow!

Thus Ye Tianfan hasn't fallen into demonism yet, because there's still justice in his heart. If Ye Tianfan truly resorted to unscrupulous means for power, it might lead to widespread catastrophe!

Sigh!

"Huh! What's wrong? Not happy even advancing to the next round?"

Just as Ye Tianfan was wistfully thinking, suddenly Bai Feng's voice came from behind, probably spotting his sigh.

"No, just contemplating when we can truly stand up outside the wall?" Ye Tianfan didn't share his thoughts with Bai Feng, as crossing over was his biggest secret, so he had to lie.

"What are you thinking? Our civilization inside the wall has barely existed for long. Outside the wall, as recorded since the inside wall existed, it's long been there. And though unclear why outsiders didn't invade, their history is incredibly long; therefore, to truly stand up outside requires us to have many people at Celestial Master Taichu's level, as numerous as ox hairs. Only then can we tread freely!" Bai Feng patted Ye Tianfan's shoulder and remarked wistfully.

Sigh! Ye Tianfan sighed again, unsure for what reason, maybe for Bai Feng's words or for his own power!
