C554 helper

The originally blue sky suddenly turned dark, as if dark clouds were gathering and pressing down on the heads of over a thousand experts.

Ye Daoxuan felt his heart skip a beat. The metal elemental energy barrier around him trembled violently. He knew that the pressure from the Lotus Four Elders had already descended. He immediately gathered his focus and went all out to defend himself.

The "Four Lotus Priests" released pressure of different attributes — metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and lightning. The pressure of each attribute was aimed at experts of the same attribute, and all the over a thousand experts, including Ye Daoxuan, felt as though an invisible mountain was slowly pressing down on their heads. Their originally upright bodies couldn't help but bend slightly.

What Ye Daoxuan was enduring was the metal-attribute pressure released by the 'Golden Lotus Elder'. And out of the thousands of people around him, there were only about a hundred or so that could withstand this pressure together with him.

This was to say that these hundred cultivators were the same as Ye Daoxuan, all possessing the same metal-attribute bloodlines. Whoever could last the longest under this sort of pressure would have the hope to emerge from the masses and advance to the top 100.

Ye Daoxuan's cultivation was only at the peak of the Immortal Realm in the end. Compared to the nearly thousand experts surrounding him, he belonged to the lowest level of existence. Thus, when the pressure of "Old Man Golden Lotus" descended, his breathing immediately became stifled, and he almost fell to his knees.

Ye Daoxuan was taken aback. With a thought, the Ancient Era's Immortal Scripture and the Ancient Sutra of the Ancient Era began to madly circulate their five elemental energies. The five elemental energies in his aura sea began to coalesce and evolve, gradually forming a gigantic vortex of immortal elemental energy.

The huge whirlpool of immortal elemental energy in his aura sea started to spin slowly, and actually produced a terrifying force of absorption. Ye Daoxuan felt that the heavy pressure above his head was quickly absorbed by the whirlpool of immortal elemental energy, and then disappeared into nothingness. He immediately felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and he relaxed.

"I didn't expect the five elements mystical arts to have such a miraculous effect when activated at the same time." In the future, if I were to encounter the coercion from a powerful expert, I can use this method to resist it! However, this method was useful in dealing with Immortal-ranked Saints, but if he were to encounter an Immortal King Stage expert, it would be hard to tell whether he would still be able to resist! After all, an Immortal King Stage expert is more than ten or a hundred times stronger than a Saint Immortal Stage expert! "

Ye Daoxuan secretly thought to himself. He was very happy that he found a miraculous method to counter the pressure of a powerful individual. With this method, he would at least have a chance of reaching the top 100 in this year's Heaven's Pride Board.

In addition to being able to relax, he was also able to split his attention to observe the situation around him. He discovered that among the nearly thousand martial artists in the surroundings, besides a few people like Baili You Rong, none of them were able to stand straight under the pressure of the "Lotus Four Elders", and they all appeared to be having an extremely difficult time.

After 50 breaths of time, the majority of the close to a thousand experts on scene had already pale-white faces. They were drenched in sweat and in a sorry state. Finally, there were people who could not continue and they started kneeling under the strong might.

And according to the rules of the Heaven's Pride Board, this meant that he had been eliminated from the top 100.

Ye Daoxuan's gaze shifted as he quickly saw Xia Xiaoxian, who was on the verge of collapsing, in the crowd.

Although Xia Xiaoxian possessed the strength to challenge those above her level, her foundation was still too weak. Compared to the nearly thousand experts around her, her fighting strength was only at the middle to lower levels, so when she endured to around the eightieth breath, she began to feel unable to withstand the pressure that was being exerted on her. Her delicate body started to tremble rapidly, and her knees started to bend, and she was about to kneel down.

If it were any other person, Ye Daoxuan would not even bother to care about it, and ever since Xia Xiaoxian had met him, she had treated him quite well, and had repeatedly shown herself to protect him. Her heart was extremely sincere, and furthermore, they were both members of 'Yan Huang', so Ye Daoxuan could not bear to see her being eliminated.

"Little deity, restrain your mind. Don't make a sound, I'll help you!"

Ye Daoxuan used a secret technique to send a voice transmission to Xia Xiaoxian. He then tightly held her hand and passed on a strand of immortal elemental energy that had fused with the five elements.

Ye Daoxuan suddenly grabbed Xia Xiaoxian's hand, causing Xia Xiaoxian to be startled. She didn't know what he meant, but she felt a strange immortal energy enter her body, and the pressure above her head was absorbed by the immortal energy, disappearing without a trace.

"Huff …"

Xia Xiaoxian heaved a sigh of relief, thinking back to how she thought Ye Daoxuan wanted to take advantage of her earlier. She couldn't help but blush as she knew that if it wasn't for Ye Daoxuan's help, she would have fallen to her knees and been eliminated within ten breaths of time.

And Ye Daoxuan had learned a secret mystical technique from who knows where, which was able to resolve the pressure exerted by the "Old Man Golden Lotus" into nothingness. In this way, the two of them would be in an invincible position and would definitely be able to advance to the top hundred.

"Thank you!"

Xia Xiaoxian also used a secret technique to send a voice transmission to Ye Daoxuan expressing her gratitude. Her gaze towards Ye Daoxuan was filled with gratitude.

Xia Xiaoxian was well aware that Ye Daoxuan's actions were equivalent to giving her an incomparably precious lotus seed. This favor was truly not small!

"What are you thanking me for? It's only right!"

Ye Daoxuan grinned. He blinked his eyes at Xia Xiaoxian and said with a voice transmission, "However, I can only help you this time. You will be the one to get the top 100 rankings!"

"Yes." Let's work hard together! "

Xia Xiaoxian nodded her head vigorously. Her goal was originally to be in the top 50, but with Ye Daoxuan's help, she was lucky enough to get out of this difficult situation. She had lowered her goal to rank 80, as long as it wasn't the bottom 50.

"To be able to ignore my aura and even help that girl get out of danger, that brat is not simple!"

"He possesses a metal-attribute bloodline, and is a dish for the 'Golden Lotus Elder'!"

"Without fear of metal attribute immortal elemental pressure, helping water attribute experts escape, that brat should have metal and water affinity bloodline right?" "Heh, Old Man Jin Lian has picked up a treasure this time!"

"His cultivation is only at the peak of the Immortal Realm, but he's actually so relaxed under the pressure of the" Old Man Golden Lotus ". This person is a heavenly genius!"

… ….

The movements of the thousand experts, even their breathing, were all captured by the "Four Lotus Priests" standing on the peak of a distant mountain. Even for experts like them, it was difficult for them to believe that a peak-level Immortal level expert like Ye Daoxuan could easily withstand the powerful pressure they were releasing.

In the eyes of the "Lotus Four Elders", especially in the eyes of the "Golden Lotus Elder," Ye Daoxuan, who possessed a dual-attribute bloodline, was absolutely a genius amongst geniuses.

If they knew that Ye Daoxuan had the physique of one of the five elements, who knew how excited they would be. Perhaps the "Lotus Four Elders" would 'break up' to engage in an intense war of words in order to fight over Ye Daoxuan.

After a hundred breaths of time, only 100 people remained of the 1000 contestants in the next round. The remaining 900 people were mercilessly eliminated.
