Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Unrivaled on Land, Behemoth Giant Beast

Pretty Girl had also brought them another piece of news, which was that in today's individual competition, fifteen contestants had chosen to withdraw before the match even began.Such a thing had never happened before in the Ancestral Court Elite contest.

Even if one lost the match, it would be better to lose on the field of battle. Conceding was definitely not an option that the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan would easily choose. However, this year was different. Besides the individual competition, there was now also the duo competition.

The rewards for the duo competition were even more generous than the individual competition. Therefore, when participating in both the individual and duo competitions and having advanced in both, it was necessary to place strategic focus when this round came. Those who could participate in both competitions and smoothly advance throughout were few. After all, no matter which side they were on, they would face tough opponents and struggle to proceed.

Thus, in this round, some contestants who thought they had a better chance of advancing in the duo competition gave up on the individual competition. Of course, there were also those whose partners were injured in the duo competition, or there were issues with their team, who gave up the duo competition to focus on the individual contest. Relatively speaking, the former was more common, hence today there emerged fifteen contestants who gave up in the individual competition.

Tang San and his group also had one contestant withdraw from the match. He learned of this news only when it was the turn for the third group to compete. This meant that in their group, only four contestants remained. He needed only two more rounds of victories to advance to the finals. Fighting one less match was, of course, a good thing! Moreover, he would finally have some time to rest.

Over at the duo competition, while there were more participants than in the individual competition, because it was a team format, there were fewer matches. It had been confirmed that with two more victories, they could enter the final Top 16.

Just by getting into the final rounds, there was a reward, and also a chance to earn recognition and a token from the Emperor. As for higher ranks, luck played an increasingly diminutive role. Those who could enter the finals were definitely the top-tier powerhouses among the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan today.

Tang San also saw his imminent opponent in the waiting area.

Among the three contestants of the third group, one looked familiar—someone he had seen in the first round but had not yet faced off against. And this round, according to Tang San's guess, he probably would not encounter this person yet, as they likely were the weakest of the four remaining contestants of the third group.

As for the other two competitors, one was from the Spirit Clan and one from the Monster Clan. If Tang San had a choice, he would now prefer to face the Spirit Clan contestant first as it would be beneficial to enhance his Bluesilver Emperor Bloodline Brand. Given the current state of the Bluesilver Emperor combined with the Two Qi of Yin and Yang, he should already be qualified to Devour a First Level Bloodline. Of course, the premise was that it couldn't be a Yin and Yang attribute.

Stepping onto the stage! His luck was still equally terrible. He did not get his wish and encounter the Spirit Clan opponent but the other powerful Monster Clan contestant.

When Tang San had seen his opponent previously, he knew this match was going to be troublesome. He suspected that their third group might be a so-called death group in itself; why was each opponent stronger than the last? Not to mention their power, just their Race alone was extremely formidable and difficult to deal with.

On the competition stage, standing in the distance, was a Monster Clan contestant who looked much like a human.

This contestant stood about two meters tall, with short brown hair that was as firm as steel needles, a dark, shiny complexion, and seemingly not an ounce of excess fat on their body. With their arms bared, their muscles were as solid as rocks.

If judged solely on appearances, this contestant looked exactly like a robust human.

But Tang San knew very well that being so humanlike indicated that this contestant's power was definitely of a First Level Bloodline, just like the Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant he faced previously. However, judging purely from the presence and composure of the one before him, the oppressive force they exuded was no less than that of the previous Sunflower Spirit Clan contestant. It was even clearly stronger than the other Spirit Clan contestant from his own race. That is to say, this contestant might be the more challenging match of the remaining two in group three. Of course, if he lost this match, there wouldn't be another one.

Although he had not planned to rely on luck in the group matches, being perpetually unlucky didn't seem too great either!

Tang San looked up at the sky, wondering if his everyday luck had been used up at the grand auction?

"The competition begins!" At this moment, the referee officially announced the start of the match.

The robust man opposite him shook both arms simultaneously, and in an instant, his fingernails shot out and elongated into blades over a foot long. His skin surface had also turned completely dark gold. His stature hadn't changed, but the explosive power surge created a thin layer of silver-black cracks around his body.

This...

Being widely knowledgeable, Tang San recognized what caused such a state instantly. It was a clear sign that the space around was being cracked by the excessive strength of the individual!

This man possessed extreme strength along with an unparalleled destructive power. He knew the man's origin now.

A Behemoth giant beast from the Monster Clan, a descendant of the Unbreakable Sky Destruction Demon Emperor, ranked fourth amongst his kind! This might well be the most formidable opponent Tang San had faced in terms of sheer combat strength.

In the ranking of the Great Demon Emperors, Sky Destruction Demon Emperor held the fourth place. Only the Almighty Crystal Monster Emperor, Dominator of Fate Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor, and Eternal Heaven Burning Immortal Monster Emperor were ahead of him. Their races were the Crystal Dragon, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and Undying Fire Phoenix, respectively, showing just how formidable the Sky Destruction Demon Emperor really was.

The Sky Destruction Demon Emperor even ranked above the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor, being the top-tier among the mighty. Besides, disregarding the combat strength of Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor, he could have been in the top three.

The Behemoth Clan had few members, but the whole race was undoubtedly a top three contender in the Tianyu Empire, a terrifying race capable of challenging the dragons and phoenixes. The title of "land invincible" wasn't given lightly. On land, neither dragons nor phoenixes were a match for them.

In these three group matches, Tang San had faced off against the Golden Mammoth, the Sunflower Spirit Clan, and now a descendant of the Sky Destruction Demon Emperor from the Behemoth Clan, which could only be ascribed to incredible luck.

If there were an award for the worst luck in the group matches of this competition, he reckoned he would be among the top contenders.

And here and now, his opponent, the powerful member of the Behemoth Clan, did not appear relaxed either, his eyes were also serious, with a hint of wariness.

Whether it was the Golden Mammoth Tribe or the Sunflower Spirit Clan, they were beings on the same level as it, and Tang San's palm strike had left a very deep impression on its opponents.

The Golden Mammoth would have to kneel under that seemingly light palm, and the Time Crocodile was directly blown up by it. The Behemoth Clan's strong contender in front of him, although confident in his own strength, did not believe his defenses were stronger than the Golden Mammoth's.

Holding the Teleportation Plate, Tang San did not activate the teleportation this time; the incandescent light reappeared while his right hand had already drawn out his Earth Shattering Hammer.

The Behemoth Clan contestant's eyes suddenly ignited with an intense fighting spirit, and the next moment, he strode towards Tang San, a layer of yellow halo lighting up from his whole body, with the claws on his fingers bursting forth with blade light several feet long.

At this moment, he clearly wasn't in a state of activating his bloodline. The Behemoth giant beasts were naturally formidable in stature; top-tier Behemoth strong contenders could exceed twenty meters in height, reaching over ten meters as adults. Whether strength, speed, or sudden bursts, they were all extremely powerful.
