Many thoughts went through the captain's head as his body was slowly falling to the ground.
With his strength, he thought he could easily make it to the next round and even if he faced a powerful enemy, he thought he could easily escape; however, Ajax didn't give any time for him to think before he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
'Escape'
The other members of the Dreamcloud sect were shivering as they looked at the corpse of their captain.
Since their captain, who was the strongest, was unable to react in time to escape from the secret realm, they didn't hesitate even a single bit before choosing to leave the secret realm.
'Even though we might fail in the contest, at least we will be staying alive.'
This was the only thought in their heads as their bodies disappeared from the secret realm without any traces.
'Bunch of cowards.'
Ajax scoffed at the disappeared members of the Dreamcloud sect; however, he didn't think much about them as his only goal was the captain of the ground.
Actually, Ajax didn't want to kill anyone in the contest since there is a demon invasion in a few days and the more humans they have, the easier it is to stop the incoming demons.
Nevertheless, Ajax was not kind enough to those who wanted to kill him. So, he killed the captain of the group without any hesitation.
'Let's see what kind of this so-called dream catcher's net.'
Next, Ajax looked at the net that lost its golden colour after he killed the captain of the group and checked its information.
'Ding,
Item name:- Dream catcher net.
Item grade:- Low-level legend grade.
Effect:- 1) The prey caught by the net will become unconscious within a fw moments before entering in a pleasant dream that will make the prey sleep forever.
Note:- The effect will be reduced for king realm cultivators and the emperor realm cultivators will not be affected by it at all.
'These bastards. He wanted to kill us by putting us in a pleasant dream.'
Ajax shivered when he saw the only effect of the Dream catcher net despite being a legend grade item.
If not for the dream resistant pill he received as a reward for clearing the dream hall in the battle tower, he would have not even noticed that he had died.
"I will keep this net which even affects the king realm cultivators."
Ajax lost his interest in the heaven grade items, only legend grade items were attracted. So, he retrieved the Dream catcher's net and stored it in his inventory for future uses.
'...'
After the incident, Heavenly raven was looking at Ajax with a face full of respect.
Even though he knew that Ajax was strong, Heavenly Raven felt lke he had still underestimated Ajax's battle prowess who killed the peak elite general realm cultivator before the other party could even notice what was happening to him.
"Let's go and find others."
Soon, they once again resumed their journey. Of course, Justice didn't forget to take all the valuable things from the captain who died in Ajax's hands.
"Master, other than a few spirit stones and poison resistant pills, there is nothing useful in the space ring."
Justice checked the items inside the space ring as he informed Ajax with a disappointed look on his face.
"Don't worry. When we gain good ranking in this contest, we will receive so many good items."
Actually, Ajax didn't even order Justice to retrieve the space ring as Ajax was already rich and the normal items like low-level spirit stones or pills were nothing in Ajax's eyes.
The same goes for Justice, who only needs to eliminate demons and other evil beings to increase his cultivation. So, he also shook his head at how poor the top sect's genius from the Ylercester province was.
....
In some random place in the secret realm.
"These insects…they dared to participate in such a grand contest with such pitiful battle prowess."
Cain, the son of the assassin sect leader became bored at how easily he was able to kill the other young participants and scoffed at them.
From the start of the third round to now, Cain didn't use two attacks on a single participant as he was able to kill in a single attack.
'Anyway, they were able to provide some good meals for my elemental spirits.'
When he thought about it, Cain could not help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face as he continued to walk forwards without bothering with the fallen corpses of the young participants.
'Swoosh'
'Gulp'
As soon as he walked past the fallen corpses, a black-coloured smoke would come out of the ground and swallow the whole corpse, leaving no traces behind.
'If only I encounter the geniuses from the Xacaster province and the geniuses of the two kingdoms from the Ylercester province, I will know how much I improved after receiving the blessing of the Ancestor.'
Cain clenched his fists as he looked forward to meeting the top geniuses of the Purple stone world.
'Five participants?'
As he was walking forward without any care in the world, Cain encountered five young participants whose cultivations were ranging from level 8 to level 10.
'Even though their cultivation has yet to reach peak elite general realm, they look more powerful than the bunch of trash I met previously.'
When he thought about it, Cain revealed an evil smile on his face as he muttered, 'I hope at least these five participants make me summon at least one of my elemental spirits to defeat them.'
The problem of being powerful at such a young age would make it harder to find the right opponents from his age group. So, Cain was a little bit excited as he walked directly in front of them.
"Death strike"
Even though he was not going to summon the elemental spirits from the start, he was not holding back himself in using his skills.
