Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2552 Change of Rules

Chapter 2552 Change of Rules

The sound of a zither sounded endlessly and spread to every corner of the Divine Firmament Hall.

Before Zither Immortal Meng Yao arrived, she attracted the attention of countless cultivators.

Immediately after, Meng Yao arrived at the Divine Firmament Hall with a group of cultivators from Flying Immortal Sect.

As Yun Zhu had said, Flying Immortal Sect had 18 Perfected Immortals. It was clear that they were hostile with such a grand lineup!

Zong Feiyu was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal after all and was also in the group of Perfected Immortals. He looked at Su Zimo's side and smiled provocatively, making a throat-slicing gesture!

Su Zimo's expression was calm and unmoved.

To him, Zong Feiyu was like a clown that posed no threat at all.

The only ones he felt threatened were Sword Immortal Yue Hua, Zither Immortal Meng Yao and the others!

"The gathering of three great sword immortals and three great fairies is truly unprecedented!"

"Unfortunately, the Chess Immortal is missing."

"The Chess Immortal is probably preparing for the Nine Firmament Meet. I heard that she has a chance of entering the top three of the Perfected Immortal Ranking and even has a chance of fighting for the position of the Supreme Perfected Immortal!"

Before the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet officially began, many cultivators were already invigorated and felt that their trip was not wasted.

From then on, the three Immortal Kingdoms and four immortal sects were all present!

They were now only waiting for someone from Divine Firmament Palace to come and host the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.

Before long, a group of cultivators walked over slowly from the depths of the Divine Firmament Hall. Their leader was a middle-aged man in green robes with a calm expression and a powerful aura!

The middle-aged man seemed to have fused with the surrounding void as one.

The Grotto-heaven realm, an Immortal King had descended!

Behind the middle-aged man were six Perfected Immortals—they were the six people who had watched the battle in the Asura battlefield back then and Fairy Divine Crane was among them.

There were also many young and beautiful maidservants of Divine Firmament Palace accompanying him.

Although the maidservants looked young, all of them were Heaven Immortals!

From that, one could sense the terrifying foundation of Divine Firmament Palace. Here, even Heaven Immortals were only maidservants.

The middle-aged man descended.

Against the Immortal King, everyone present did not dare to be rude and stood up one after another.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and declared, "I'm Qing Yang, the eldest disciple of Immortal Emperor Divine Firmament and the host for the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet this time round."

Immortal King Qing Yang was at the perfected Grotto-heaven realm and was a peak Immortal King!

"Greetings, Immortal King Qing Yang!"

Everyone cupped their fists.

"Everyone, have a seat."

Immortal King Qing Yang had an indifferent expression as he waved his hand casually and sat on a high chair. "I'm sure everyone has already understood the rules of the Heaven Ranking compet.i.tion."

The rules of the Heaven Ranking were the same as the Earth Ranking.

It was a one-on-one fight based on the ranking and the loser would be eliminated.

For example, Yun Ting who was Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction would be up against the Rank 100 cultivator.

As for Su Zimo, he was Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction and would be matched against the Rank 98 cultivator.

"Everyone, I'm sure you know that the higher your ranking is after the battle for the Heaven Ranking concludes, the more benefits you will obtain."

Immortal King Qing Yang said, "Of course, Divine Firmament Palace will give every cultivator on the Heaven Ranking an opportunity."

Many cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Prediction were delighted.

Suddenly, Yun Ting stood up and said with cupped fists, "Immortal King Qing Yang, pardon me for being blunt. The rules for the Heaven Ranking battle are way too troublesome and illogical!"

Many cultivators were secretly speechless.

Yun Ting was probably the only one who had the guts to speak to Immortal King Qing Yang in such a manner.

Immortal King Qing Yang was not annoyed and smiled indifferently, asking instead, "The rules of the ranking battle have been pa.s.sed down for many years. How are they illogical?"

Yun Ting said, "That's because most people on the Heaven Ranking Prediction won't even stand a chance to fight for Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking!"

"Oh, you have a better idea?"

Immortal King Qing Yang raised his brow slightly.

Yun Ting chuckled and raised his head slightly, saying proudly, "In my opinion, it will either be me or Su Zimo who will be Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking. No one else is worthy!"

That statement was extremely arrogant and was equivalent to disregarding everyone else on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.

Even for Rank 2, Qin Gu, Rank 4, Zong Feiyu and Rank 5, Lie Xuan, none of them were mentioned by Yun Ting!

Zong Feiyu snorted coldly.

Although Qin Gu was indignant, he was expressionless and had a calm personality, not expressing anything.

"So, how do you want to arrange it?"

Immortal King Qing Yang smiled and asked again.

"It's simple."

Yun Ting pointed at Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy. "The two of us will fight the first round directly. Whoever wins shall be Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking! The others are not qualified to challenge us and they can just go and fight for Ranks 3, 4 or whatever."

Su Zimo smiled gently.

That was indeed Yun Ting's style. Simple, direct, arrogant and merciless!

Immortal King Qing Yang shook his head. "This is unfair to the others. Even if I agree, there will be people who disagree."

"Who cares about them!"

Yun Ting waved it off and turned to glare at Su Zimo with a raring battle intent. "Su Zimo, it's enough as long as you agree to it!"

The reason why Yun Ting made this suggestion was because of the pride in the depths of his heart.

Even after the fights of the ranking battle, there was a high chance that the two of them would be the only ones left.

However, neither of them would be in their peak conditions at that moment and this fight that was long meant to be theirs would not be completely fair either.

Since they wanted to compete, Yun Ting wanted to defeat Su Zimo openly!

Also, in Yun Ting's heart, fighting for Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking was not the most important thing.

What he valued the most was to defeat Su Zimo and obtain the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts!

Su Zimo quickly understood Yun Ting's intentions and did not reject him. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Alright, as you wis.h.!.+"

Although this was against the rules, none of the cultivators below stood out to object.

That was because most of the cultivators on the Heaven Ranking Prediction knew that Yun Ting was right—they truly would not have the chance to fight for Rank 1 of the Heaven Ranking.

As for Qin Gu and Zong Feiyu who both had a shot at Rank 1, they exchanged glances and tacitly did not say anything.

For the two of them, there were only benefits and no disadvantages!

In a fight between two tigers, one would definitely be injured.

First, they would let Yun Ting and Su Zimo fight till an internecine outcome. At that time, no matter who won or lost, they could stand out and defeat Yun Ting or Su Zimo with ease, reaping the rewards!

Yun Zhu looked at Yun Ting and Su Zimo with a conflicted expression, wanting to speak but stopped.

Even she did not know who would win this battle.

She wanted to persuade Su Zimo or Yun Ting not to fight to the death.

However, once both parties fought to their limits, it would be difficult for them to stop!

She was unwilling to see either party in trouble.

However, she knew that this battle between the two of them was absolutely inevitable!

It was as though this battle was predestined and there must be a victor between the two of them so that the three sword arts could be fused into one.

"Hold on!"

Right then, Zither Immortal Meng Yao suddenly spoke and stood up slowly.

Yun Zhu frowned slightly.

"Here it comes!"

Su Zimo lamented internally.
