Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 225: True Spirit Battleground

Wu~

The panda looked at Li Mo with his big doe eyes, but Li Mo ignored his pitiful look and threw him into the battleground.

Whoosh~

The projection changed, showing this time a bamboo forest with the panda in it. His opponent was a brown bear with three eyes.

Roar~

The three-eyed bear was the first to act, shooting a constant light beam from his eyes. The panda panicked and tried to dodge, but not before the beam hit him.

The panda scrambled everywhere for cover, but the three-eyed bears beam still hit true.

A dozen seconds later, the panda was sprawled on the ground like a meat patty.

The three-eyed bears trait is the weakening ray. As long as the ray stays on something, even a sacred grade material could be turned into putty. This trait makes the three eyed bear among the best tool refiners in the universe.

Li Mo frowned, But as you can see, when it comes to fighting, they are very weak.

With how much power the panda had, he only needed to bring it out and the bear wouldve been finished.

Hum~

The panda returned to his body and his butt hit the ground, exhausted.

He also lost some cultivation and the badge now sported 1 losses.

The panda covered his face in shame.

Im going next. Whitey got her badge and entered the battleground.

The nine-tailed fox was an ancient demon. She not only had the unmatched charm trait, but the overbearing talent nine qis. Compared to any other cultivator, she had as much as nine times their spiritual qi. And this difference was kept even as she went up in levels. 

Whitey wasnt like Du Fei and the panda, she was weak at close range while excelling in magical arts.

Wicked wind blew, and black qi was on the rise, covering the entire battleground. It wasnt long before her enemy collapsed, thin as a mummy.

Whiteys magical arts stressed absorption above all, taking everything from the target, be it blood, qi, even ones soul. 

In her first fight, Whitey won hands down.

I didnt feel any suppression on the battleground.

Li Mo nodded.

Whitey was hesitating.

If theres anything you want to say, just talk.

My demonic qi can only remain constant?

From Li Mos explanation, she knew she was not real. Just an incomplete body from a time-space rupture, a copy of a living being. It was already a miracle she lasted so far. She tried hard in cultivating all this time, but made no progress.

You are not real. I will need to use two-thirds of Staff of Origins power if I am to rebuild your body. Li Mo didnt spare her from the truth.

But if you hold the Staff of Origin, you can make significant progress in cultivation.

Whitey gave him a charming smile. She understood him perfectly. It was also for this reason jade pipa and nine-headed pheasant betrayed him.

I dont want to do such a thing. Every man has a reason for his actions. While demons do not, we do have rules. And I will abide by them.

Whitey pressed a dainty finger to her lip as she smiled sweetly, You are my master and I believe your potential is immeasurable. I wont choose the path of a shortsighted person.

Li Mos heart jumped and turned his head.

If this vixen planned on seducing anyone, no man could escape her charms.

It was Madam Nings turn next. She awakened the Sage King Physique, which was even purer than Gu Hanzhongs. And having followed Du Fei for so long, she had become quite the cultivator. Having been connected to the God Realm, her strength kept growing until she reached the peak fourth level. 

Madam Ning was good up close and personal. Her fists were so strong they could crumble rocks and splinter the earth. Most of her enemies would underestimate her light frame, only realizing the gruesome error of their ways when they felt her fist boring into them.

Boom~

Madam Nings Jade Breaking Fist struck trice, easily sending off her opponent. Among all the matches so far, hers was the quickest and easiest. Whiteys was easy as well, but she used too many moves. First with wicked wind, then with black qi, and taking quite some time. She wasted far more time than even Du Fei. 

My turn.

Li Mo received a badge with Arcane written on it.

Li Mo entered the scene, finished in one punch, then kept going until he won ten matches in a row. 

When Li Mo came back, Du Fei looked at him with stars in his eyes.

Bro Mo, youre just too strong.

You are even stronger, but too afraid to use it fully.

And you. Li Mo turned to the panda. The panda facepalmed in shame. Based on power alone, he was the absolute numero uno in the team. Whitey was mid fifth level while he was at peak.

The training has officially started. In three months, I expect to see all of you in the 9th stage of the profound level.

Of yellow, profound, earth and heaven levels in the ancient battleground, each level was split in nine stages, with nine being the highest, the champion.

Training in the ancient battleground was very easy at first, but the opponents would only grow stronger as ones stage rose. In other words, there were no weaklings among those that reached the 9th stage.

If you fail, youll earn one year in purgatory.

Li Mo took out the Staff of Origin, and used it to open a spacial door.

This was no time-space rupture, but a door to a different dimension. 

The panda stuck its head in, wailing the next second as it shrunk back. The fur on its face was singed.

The purgatory dimension was one of only flames

How could one survive stuck in there for an entire year?

The panda shivered and sweated, running to begin the next match. He wanted to get its stage higher as quickly as possible.

The trial had begun.

Li Mo wasnt idle either, joining in as well.

Winning gained the opponents cultivation. Albeit little, but constant winning would be many times faster than training in seclusion.

Better yet, wasnt it great theyd get used to fighting the universes races in the ancient battleground?

Li Mo entered his 11th match.

His first ten wins promoted him to the third stage.

Li Mos tactics were very simple. A Warp and a kick or punch would settle most opponents.

As Li Mo was fighting in the yellow level of the ancient battleground, his figure was projected on a screen before a huge person.

Lord, this man actually knows your unique and amazing skill, Warp!
