Chapter 473: The Formal Start

At this moment, the proud man’s gaze was fixed on Jiang Yun below, showing a complicated look in his eyes.

There were feelings of joy, helplessness, as well as a hint of resentment and jealousy.

Just then, an elderly man standing behind him respectfully said, "Honored guest, the family master said that if you change your mind, you can participate in the Beast Arena."

"Don’t worry, you won’t need to control the super beasts, you just need to stand there."

"Once you win, you can enter the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, which might help the caretaker find a way home."

The young man stayed silent for a moment, then suddenly pointed towards Jiang Yun on the seventh platform and said, "Go tell the family master that if he can hold on until the eighth day, I will replace the Song family and participate in the Beast Arena this time!"

…

The Beast Arena, which can hold up to one hundred thousand people, is now completely full, with not a single empty seat to be seen.

However, these people are just a small part of the entire Xia City.

Many more people cannot even enter the Beast Arena.

In order for everyone to see the grandeur of the Beast Arena, the Xia family has purposely built hundreds of observation platforms all over Xia City.

An observation platform is a large Cloudstone that can show the scenes from the Beast Arena with its engraved array.

Even some powerful groups from the other four great lands have various methods to see what happens inside the Beast Arena.

In short, the Beast Arena that takes place once every five years is a big event in the Barbaric Southern Land, with its influence spreading across the Ancient Grand Desolate World.

At this moment, as the Beast Arena was already full, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and ten cultivators dressed in bright yellow clothing came out in a line.

The appearance of these ten people immediately stirred up the first climax of the Beast Arena.

Because each of them emitted a strong aura, making them seem to replace the entire sky, capturing the attention of everyone.

Tao Entering Realm!

The ten cultivators are in the early stages of Tao Entering Realm, which is the realm of powerful individuals in the Dao Spiritual Realm.

Even Jiang Yun’s eyes showed a glimpse of surprise.

Although he had seen many Dao Spiritual Realm cultivators before, he had never seen a faction that could have ten powerful individuals in the Tao Spiritual Realm at the same time.

From this, it could be seen that the Xia family, as a Daoist clan, had an unimaginably profound heritage.

Besides, the Xia family is only one Daoist clan in The Barbaric Southern Land.

In this Ancient Grand Desolate World, there are four continents. Even if each continent has only one Daoist clan, together there are five major Daoist clans.

Any one of these five major Daoist clans has the power to easily destroy the Mountain-Sea World.

At this moment, Jiang Yun once again realized the weakness of the Mountain-Sea World, which made his ambition grow even stronger.

If he could own this realm, all the powerful Daoist clan members would also be under his control!

Although Jiang Yun didn’t know how strong the so-called Tao World was, he believed that within the Desolate World, this realm was probably the strongest.

The appearance of the Xia family’s ten members immediately silenced the noisy Beast Arena.

Even countless fierce beasts tightly closed their mouths, not daring to make any sound.

"Everyone!"

At that moment, a tall, rosy-faced old man at the head of the ten people spoke loudly, "You should already know the rules of the Beast Arena, I won’t say more."

As he finished speaking, the old man suddenly raised his hand and a hundred-zhang-long giant incense appeared in the air.

"This is the Hundred Zhang Incense, actually measuring one hundred and twenty zhang, with each zhang representing an hour."

"When this incense is lit, it marks the official start of the Beast Arena. After it burns out, the groups still on the platform will be the winners of the first round of competition!"

Everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards the giant incense.

Many groups were already eager, preparing to challenge as soon as the incense was lit.

Then, the tall old man raised his hand again, and ten shadows dropped from his hand, landing on the edges of the ten platforms.

These were ten stone tablets, which emitted a white light as soon as they landed, instantly covering the entire platform.

Jiang Yun glanced at the stone tablets and recognized them as Array Stones, inscribed with a isolating array that created a light screen to separate the platforms and prevent interference.

Also, when someone wants to challenge a certain platform, a corresponding stone tablet will light up.

Once the competition officially starts, the stone tablet will also record how many challenges the champion has experienced, how long they have persisted, and other information.

This makes it easy for everyone to understand the situation of the event at a glance.

After completing all this, ten Tao Spiritual Realm cultivators, including the tall old man, each take a step forward and appear above a platform, sitting cross-legged.

Obviously, these ten individuals are the judges of this Beast Arena competition.

Above Jiang Yun sits a slender old man, who closes his eyes after sitting down, showing no interest in watching the competition.

Jiang Yun pays no attention to this old man, as he feels he doesn’t need any judgment.

Especially in such a special environment, the battles only have winners and losers with no possibility of a tie.

Finally, the tall old man pointed towards the hundred-foot incense, causing flames to rise at its tip, igniting the incense and releasing a wisp of smoke into the air.

"Beast Arena, officially begins!"

With the old man’s loud voice speaking these eight words, they heard a continuous buzzing sound.

And on the ten platforms, the stone tablets were glowing like electricity, flashing non-stop.

Every platform leader was challenged by someone.

This is normal, not all groups wait until the tenth day to challenge.

Furthermore, some well-informed groups already knew about the first batch of platform leaders and knew they were easy targets, so why not challenge them now.

Of course, unless they are very confident, most groups who challenge on the first day won’t be very strong.

In an instant, people had already stepped on all ten platforms, these were the first batch of challengers.

Jiang Yun was no exception, as in front of him stood a strong man surrounded by over a hundred different powerful tame beasts.

Generally, most groups that participate in the Beast Arena only bring around a hundred tame beasts.

The big man had a proud look on his face, pointing at Jiang Yun and said, "Kid, you’re unlucky to have met me. Today is your first day here, and I don’t want to go all out. If you’re smart, just admit defeat and step down from the stage. I might spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh!"

"Roar!"

The tame beasts around him also immediately let out deafening roars, as if cheering for the big man.

Looking at the big man and the hundred tame beasts around him, Jiang Yun surprisingly closed his eyes, still sitting on the ground without getting up.

Jiang Yun had no interest because all the tame beasts the big man brought were common beasts, not even a single super beast.

Jiang Yun’s disregard made the big man furious, "How dare you look down on me! Then you shall die! Tear him apart!"

With a command from the big man, the hundred tame beasts around him immediately roared and charged towards Jiang Yun.

However, just as they rushed to a distance of about ten yards from Jiang Yun, they all suddenly stopped in unison, trembling and not daring to take another step forward.

Because, in front of them on the ground, there lay a tiny little mouse!
