Time passed by quickly.

It had been 300 years since Desolate Martial appeared in the ancient battlefield.

In the past 300 years, although there were occasional fights and killings in the ancient battlefield, they did not cause much of a stir.

Nobody discovered any traces of Desolate Martial for 300 years.

It was as though Desolate Martial had vanished completely after he appeared.

As the fight for the Divine Power Ranking approached, the ancient battlefield turned chaotic once more!

More and more Mahayana Patriarchs gathered towards the region of the Divine Power Ranking.

Even some Mahayana Patriarchs who were in seclusion cultivation came out of seclusion one after another and rushed over.

The Divine Power Ranking was only held once every 10,000 years and it was a rare opportunity.

If one could obtain a spot on the Divine Power Ranking and obtain the inheritance of a greater divine power, it might be even greater than the increase in strength after countless years of seclusion!

Furthermore, there were some empty spots on the Divine Power Ranking this time round.

For example, Matriarch Yue Luo of Heavenly Dipper Sect and Patriarch Fei Duan of Malevolent Earth Sect died at the Ten Thousand Race Meet.

300 years ago, Di Yun, who was ranked 33 on the Divine Power Ranking, died at the hands of Desolate Martial.

In the past 10,000 years, even more spots opened up. Some of them died in battles in the ancient battlefield while some of them comprehended supreme divine powers and became Emperors, relinquishing their positions on the Divine Power Ranking.

Of the 36 spots on the Divine Power Ranking, 11 were now empty!

The fight for those empty spots would definitely be intense.

As for some Mahayana Patriarchs, they wanted to make use of the Divine Power Ranking this time round to raise their spots so that they could inherit even more greater divine powers!

Even some early, mid and late-stage Mahayana Patriarchs who did not have the strength to fight for a spot on the Divine Power Ranking would choose to spectate.

For many Patriarchs, this was a rare event.

At that time, many Patriarchs and experts would enter the fray. If they could comprehend a little knowledge because of that, their trip would not be wasted.

“I heard that the Rank 1 of the Divine Power Ranking 10,000 years ago, Jian Chenzi, comprehended a supreme divine power and is now an Emperor. Now that he’s off the Divine Power Ranking, I wonder who will take his spot.”

“It’s definitely Patriarch Qi Huang of Malevolent Earth Sect. He’s already Rank 2 on the Divine Power Ranking for 30,000 years! If he hadn’t lost to Jian Chenzi by a single move 10,000 years ago, he would have been Rank 1 of the Divine Power Ranking.”

Before the Divine Power Ranking began, countless Patriarchs had already begun discussing and analyzing the situation of the Divine Power Ranking.

“Not necessarily,”

Another Patriarch shook his head gently. “Rank 3 on the Divine Power Ranking, Patriarch Ji Lei of Zephyr Thunder Palace, has also occupied the third spot for 20,000 years! I think Patriarch Ji Lei has a high chance of winning this time round.”

“Let’s put it this way. Now that the top spot is emptied out, the other five of the top six all have a chance of fighting for that spot on the Divine Power Ranking!’

Right then, a Patriarch suddenly said, “I reckon that Desolate Martial will definitely appear for the Divine Power Ranking this time round as well! Perhaps he might even get to fight for the top few spots of the Divine Power Ranking.”

“Him?”

Another Patriarch pouted his lips in disapproval. “He only comprehended a single greater divine power 300 years ago. After that, he’ll only be able to comprehend one or two more at most.”

“Even with the Green Lotus True Body, it’s already not bad if he can get into the top 20 of the Divine Power Ranking. How can he have the strength to fight for the top few spots?!”

A Patriarch at the side agreed. “That’s right! Notwithstanding the top six of the Divine Power Ranking, even the Patriarchs in the top ten have been famous in the ancient battlefield for a long time and have comprehended more than 15 greater divine powers! The difference between them is too great!”

“That’s not all,”

Another person said, “Don’t forget, an Emperor of the Di Clan tried to kill Desolate Martial 300 years ago but failed.”

“I reckon that Desolate Martial might not even dare to appear this time round!”

As the fight for the Divine Power Ranking approached, the changes on the Divine Power Ranking became more obvious.

The Divine Power Ranking hovered in the firmaments and scrolls spread out with names written on them, emitting golden lights.

Some of the spots were blank, indicating that they were empty.

If one were to approach, they would discover that every single spot on the Divine Power Ranking would reflect a gigantic region on the ground that was shrouded by golden light.

There were a total of 36 such golden regions beneath the Divine Power Ranking!

This was the battlefield of the Divine Power Ranking!

Some of the golden regions had Mahayana Patriarchs guarding them.

If anyone wanted to fight for the spot, they would have to go to that particular golden region and challenge the Mahayana Patriarch in its place!

Nobody was allowed to interrupt the fight.

Every single golden region could only accommodate two people.

At that moment, there were hundreds of Mahayana Patriarchs gathered beneath the Divine Power Ranking!

Mahayana Patriarchs had a lifespan of 100,000 years.

These Patriarchs were equivalent to 100,000 years of foundation of the human race!

“Look! Rank 28 on the Divine Power Ranking has disappeared!”

Right then, a cry sounded from the crowd and many Patriarchs pointed at the Divine Power Ranking in the firmaments with shocked expressions.

“What’s going on?”

Some of the Mahayana Patriarchs who arrived later on approached and asked curiously.

“I heard that recently, Patriarchs of the Divine Power Ranking have been removed one after another, resulting in empty spots!”

A Mahayana Patriarch explained, “That’s already five in five days!”

“Ah!”

The Mahayana Patriarchs were shocked when they heard that.

There were only two possibilities if a Patriarch’s Divine Power Ranking was removed before the battle of the Divine Power Ranking even began!

First, if this Mahayana Patriarch comprehended a supreme divine power and became an Emperor, he would naturally disappear from the Divine Power Ranking.

However, the probability of that was extremely low.

Furthermore, there wouldn’t be so many Emperors ascending in succession—that was five Patriarchs in five days!

The second scenario was for a Mahayana Patriarch on the Divine Power Ranking to be killed!

If they died, they would naturally be removed from the Divine Power Ranking!

“Someone’s hunting Patriarchs on the Divine Power Ranking!”

Right then, someone said something that exploded in the crowd!

Hunting Patriarchs on the Divine Power Ranking!

Who was it?!

Who would have such methods?!

“Desolate Martial!”

A Mahayana Patriarch grit his teeth. “Desolate Martial must have done it! Desolate Martial has reappeared!”

“It’s not Desolate Martial,”

Right then, another Mahayana Patriarch seemed to have thought of something and revealed a reminiscent expression. “A few days ago, I encountered a black-robed man in the ancient battlefield. His long hair covered most of his face and his appearance could not be seen clearly.”

“This black-robed man once asked me about the location of some Mahayana Patriarchs on the Divine Power Ranking.”

“I wasn’t bothered at that time. Now that I think about it, there’s a high chance that this person was going to hunt down those Mahayana Patriarchs!”

“Who is that?”

The many Patriarchs were puzzled.

Could there be another monster incarnate in the ancient battlefield apart from Desolate Martial?

Right then, another commotion broke out in the crowd.

“Look!”

Someone pointed at the Divine Power Ranking with a pale expression and said with a trembling voice, “Rank 6 on the Divine Power Ranking, Patriarch Scatter Night, has vanished!”
