Chapter 3036: The Thousand Souls Hall!

Rumble...

The heavens, the Heavenly Ladder passage closed!

After a full year, the trial of the Heavenly Ladder was finally completely over.

The geniuses of the heavens had finally been ranked.

First place was none other than Yang Qing.

But at this moment, Yang Qing felt no joy at all; instead, he looked at Ye Yuan with some resentment.

He had a feeling that if Ye Yuan had seriously taken the trial, first place would have had nothing to do with him.

In fact, Yang Qing understood that although he was first, he wasn't that much better than the geniuses of the other heavens.

The gap among the top thirty was almost negligible!

But once Ye Yuan took the trial, he would inevitably leave everyone far behind.

In the Void Bright Hall Radiant Heaven, Feng Qingxuan frowned slightly and said, “That Ye Yuan fellow didn't even make the list? That can't be right, can it?”

Long He said, “That's unreasonable! No matter how weak he is, he couldn't have failed to enter the top thousand, could he?”

Feng Qingxuan said irritably, “That kid really gives us no peace of mind!”

Just then, Wutian's figure coalesced above the platform.

“The trial of the Heavenly Ladder is over! But the final result has disappointed me somewhat! The number of people who passed this trial is far fewer than I imagined! Your performance on the Heavenly Ladder is far worse than that of the Mystic Divine Palace back in the day! It seems each generation is indeed worse than the last!” Wutian said with emotion.

At these words, the geniuses of the heavens immediately felt aggrieved.

They had been looked down upon!

“Heh, how strong were the geniuses of your Mystic Divine Palace? That's all up to you to say!”

“Ancestor Wutian, we admit you are a peerless genius, but my Kongtan Heaven is definitely no worse than the geniuses of your Mystic Divine Palace!”

“If the geniuses of your Mystic Divine Palace were so strong, how did they get destroyed? You say whatever you want!”

...

How proud were the geniuses of the heavens?

Even being looked down upon by the number one genius of all time was unacceptable!

How do you know that I won't reach your heights in the future?

Before taking the final step, these geniuses would never admit to being inferior to others.

Wutian was not angry either; he said with a faint smile, “Back when my Mystic Divine Palace opened the Heavenly Ladder, we only accepted humans, and still two hundred thousand people from one realm could pass. But now, the most from any of your realms is only a hundred thousand! Doesn't that prove the point? However, among you, there is one that surprised me. The Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven actually had one million two hundred thousand people pass the Heavenly Ladder! I am somewhat looking forward to it!”

At these words, the geniuses of the heavens exploded!

The Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven!

Again the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven!

“What! The Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven actually had one million two hundred thousand people pass the Heavenly Ladder?”

“How is that possible? Our Abyss Thorough Primordial Cave Heaven only had ninety thousand pass!” Wang Ningyan said in disbelief.

“Has the Grand Bright Jade Perfection Heaven risen in recent years? Not only did they produce Yang Qing, but the number of their geniuses is also more than ten times ours!”

...

The heavens were shaken!

This number was truly terrifying!

A lower plane had passed the Heavenly Ladder in numbers more than ten times theirs!

If it were just a large number, they wouldn't be so shocked.

After all, quantity alone didn't mean much.

Quality was what mattered!

But as it happened, they had produced Yang Qing!

Now, whether in quantity or quality, the geniuses of the heavens were ruthlessly suppressed.

This was a bit demoralizing.

“Don't worry, you'll soon see the strength of my Mystic Divine Palace! The next trial is the Thousand Souls Hall! Inside are the strongest thousand people in the history of my Mystic Divine Palace! You only need to defeat ten of them to be qualified to enter the true Mystic Divine Palace!”

After speaking, Wutian waved his sleeve, and a stone bridge appeared on the platform.

The stone bridge led to the illusory palace.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan's heart stirred.

This Thousand Souls Hall seemed somewhat similar to the training ground in the Lesser Mystic Divine Palace he had visited before.

He just didn't know if the experts in the Thousand Souls Hall were the same as before.

Many people, upon hearing that they only needed to defeat ten people to enter the Mystic Divine Palace, showed disdain.

“Heh, the strongest thousand in history, how terrifying!”

“Only ten people; if I can't even defeat them, what's the point of going to the Mystic Divine Palace?”

“This Ancestor Wutian really underestimates us!”

...

Many confident individuals had already stepped onto the stone bridge and entered the Thousand Souls Hall.

Wutian smiled without a word, his form flickered, and he disappeared.

The crowd arrived at the Thousand Souls Hall, where a stone tablet was displayed in the main hall.

On the stone tablet were carved a thousand names.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over it and found that the names on this tablet were vastly different from those in the Lesser Mystic Divine Palace!

There were still some familiar names, but most were unfamiliar.

“It seems the competition in the Mystic Divine Palace is truly fierce! I wonder how strong these people are?” Ye Yuan grew curious.

He knew that at the Emperor Realm, things were completely different from the Jade Emperor Heaven.

These Emperor Realm experts were all reserves for the Dominance Realm!

Moreover, the thousand people in the Thousand Souls Hall were experts accumulated over many years by the Mystic Divine Palace.

It was very likely that all thousand were Dominance Realm experts!

Many people took this trial lightly.

But he knew that this trial was definitely hell-level difficulty!

“Pfft, the Thousand Souls Hall, how terrifying! This Emperor will see how strong these people are!” Yang Qing said disdainfully, directly selecting the last name and leaping into the battle formation.

This battle formation clearly used spatial techniques.

Yang Qing could move freely within the battle formation, but in the entire Thousand Souls Hall, it only occupied a small corner.

Everyone could see clearly what was happening in the battle formation.

Many people watched with anticipation.

Number one thousand, Ouyang Fangde!

Ouyang Fangde saw Yang Qing and his pupils contracted. “You are strong!”

Yang Qing grinned and said, “Do I need you to tell me that? This Emperor is the number one genius of the Thirty-Three Heavens! Even that bastard Ye Yuan is my defeated opponent!”

Ouyang Fangde was stunned. Who was Ye Yuan?

But he could sense Yang Qing's strength and was on high alert.

The battle was about to erupt.

As soon as they clashed, Yang Qing's expression changed.

He thought that dealing with number one thousand, he could definitely kill him in one move!

But he was clearly mistaken!

The two soon fell into a fierce battle!

“So strong! This guy is only number one thousand, yet he's this powerful? And his cultivation is suppressed to the same level as mine! This Emperor has always fought above his level!”

Yang Qing was going crazy!

If number one thousand was this strong, how terrifying would number one be?

In the Thousand Souls Hall, Ye Yuan was also shocked!

The strength of number one thousand far exceeded his imagination!

Compared to this Thousand Souls Hall, that training ground was just child's play!

Boom!

After a hundred moves, Yang Qing burst forth with a spear and pierced Ouyang Fangde's chest.

Yang Qing wins!
