After drawing lots, the battle began!
The sovereign expert casually waved his hand as terrifying divine power continuously appeared and the world seemed to tremble underneath his feet, about to be divided into half!
Suddenly, the earth underneath them split into four sections, forming four enormous battlefields!
Naturally, the strongest amongst them was the terrifying seven-star High God, Fang Tian!
Since he was a High God, his power far surpassed the rest of them that were present!
Besides Sullo, his believers had also done quite well during the believers’ trial.
Thus, Fang Tian was the hot favorite to win the championship and had also managed to catch Sullo’s attention beforehand.
There was also the Goddess that Sullo had shared a life and death moment with to join this competition!
As a peak six-star God, her believers were also extremely powerful and she was able to pass the trials without much difficulty.
Although both Fang Tian and the Goddess had ended up with terrible losses amongst their believers, they had also managed to obtain great benefits!
This would be an extremely exciting battle!
Under the sovereign expert’s orders, all the Gods officially began their battle!
The results were as expected.
The number one God on the throne list, Fang Tian, erupted with powerful strength, slamming his opponent without hesitation!
After all, the difference between a middle god and a High God was extremely terrifying!
Thus, Fang Tian’s opponent was quickly finished off.
And it seemed that on the Goddess’ side, she seemed to be having a hard time! After all, they had around the same level of strength, peak six-star Gods that were one step away from becoming High Gods themselves.
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate, with neither side backing down nor gaining the upper hand for some time.
Terrifying divine power continuously erupted, causing the earth beneath their feet to tremble.
To fight for a chance at the divine lord position, both sides went all out with their attacks, severely injuring each other in the process.
However, the goddess still relied on her tenacious willpower to gain a slight advantage in the end and defeated the other God to obtain victory!
After the goddess defeated her opponent and obtained victory, the other battles that were also ongoing were also coming to an end.
In the first round of battles that occurred, almost all the victors were at the level of a peak six-star God.
Finally, the last five contestants were chosen!
Seven-star High God Fang Tian, the peak six-star Goddess, peak six-star God Li Hai, peak six-star God Ji Yue, and five-star god Sullo!
Apart from Sullo, the remaining gods were all six-star gods, and one of them was even a High God!
Sullo’s presence as a five-star God made him stand out amongst the crowd and become their target.
Once the first rounds of battle were over, the quarterfinals would begin!
All the gods would once again engage in battle!
This would determine the Gods who would be fighting in the semifinals, and there would be another empty lot to draw as well.
As such, everyone was called to draw lots before their fight.
Just before they were allowed to take their picks, one of the Gods who did not like Sullo began to express how much he would beat up Sullo if they were paired together.
After all, they were all six-star Gods or higher. It felt like pure luck that someone like Sullo had actually managed to continue on in the competition after so long because the differences in power between a five-star and six-star God was definitely a gap that could not be bridged overnight.
Thus, all the gods believed that the only reason Sullo had managed to reach this stage was due to his luck!
While the other Gods besides the Goddess were not fond of Sullo, they were forced to bite their tongue and endure this discontent.
Now, the second lot draws had officially begun and the Gods all took turns in drawing their opponents.
To everyone’s surprise, it seems like Sullo had drawn a blank lot yet again!
In other words, Sullo would still be able to pass this round without having to fight!
It seemed like Sullo was destined to enter the semifinals!
After seeing the draw results, all the gods were inexplicably angry.
“The lots aren’t fair at all! Someone must be helping him! Dammit, why does Sullo always draw the blank lot!”
“Could it be that someone is protecting him? Damn it! It’s impossible to have such luck twice in a row! He should be fighting like the rest of us!”
“What a joke. A mere five-star God is actually able to participate in the final battle. Even the peak six-star God Zhong Kui was eliminated!”
All the gods were furious as they slandered Sullo’s luck, believing that some external force was involved.
Hearing their complaints, the sovereign expert overseeing their battles unleashed a terrifying burst of power, instantly suppressing them!
“What a joke! How can you say unscrupulous things are happening behind the scenes in a competition that I am hosting? Are you saying that I’m picking favorites amongst all of you?”
Under the sovereign expert’s might, the competitors did not dare to complain any longer. After all, a sovereign expert could easily end them with just a single strike!
However, the sovereign expert decided to speak further so that they would not be discontent.
“Since you aren’t satisfied, I swear in the name of God King Mu that I am not personally siding with any of the Gods here! If I violate this oath then God King Mu himself will personally execute me!”
Hearing the sovereign expert make such a promise, all the Gods present immediately shut their mouths. After all, an oath sworn under the God King’s name could not be broken without severe consequences!
Even their powerful sovereign expert host would not dare to do anything to anger the God King!
Thus, the competition continued and the Gods began to prepare themselves for the next fight.
The sovereign expert had a cold expression on his face as he divided the battles accordingly.
The second round of battles had officially begun!
The matches were essentially the peak six-star Goddess versus Ji Yue, and seven-star High God Fang Tian versus Li Hai!
There was hardly any suspense during the second round of battles.
After all, Fang Tian was still an unscalable mountain to the rest of them.
It seemed that the most suspense would be the battle on the Goddess’ side versus the second ranked genius on the throne list, Li Hai!
As the second-ranked on the throne list, Li Hai had power that was close to that of a High God.
That meant that even if the Goddess used all her strength, she still wouldn’t be able to match up to him!
However, the Goddess still managed to display her splendor despite her loss at the end. She fought fiercely against Li Hai, who was close to the High God ranking.
In the end, she was defeated!
