The divine clang of the ceremonial bell echoed nine times across the Desolate Heaven Capital.
It signaled the official opening of the Dragon and Phoenix Competition.
Imperial Arena – Outer Circle!
The massive Imperial Arena spanned several li in every direction.
Forged from Profound-grade materials and reinforced with powerful arrays, it could withstand even Soul Formation Realm battles.
Participants were ushered into the Inner Preparation Grounds, a wide courtyard just beyond the coliseum gates.
Each major sect and clan had their designated waiting area separated by spiritual barriers.
Public Selection Participant Waiting Area!
There were about 10 participants who had won and had been selected as the participants of the Dragon and Phoenix Competition.
Many were already satisfied and didn't think they would advance even one more round, as their strongest was in the Mid Nascent Soul Realm—excluding Nie Fengzhuo.
