Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 756 - 708: The Ultimate Showdown

Black Gold Star Card!

When people saw those ten golden cards worth a hundred thousand Star Card Points each, many were already green with envy, but upon hearing that this "Black Gold Star Card" could grant a lifetime of cultivation opportunities at the Polar Star Tower, countless people couldn't help but wish they could get their hands on the "Black Gold Star Card" right away!

Owning this card meant a huge opportunity for their cultivation at the nine major Divine Institutes!

Of course, everyone wanted it!

Especially some of the individuals in the competition who were eager to claim the top spot in the Divine Institutes' assessment, like Tianyu Beiling's Mo Yuan and others, whose eyes were shining brightly.

Being descendants of Divine Venerable powerhouses, they had certainly heard of the "Black Gold Star Card" and knew its value!

"A Black Gold Star Card, rumor has it that not many have been issued throughout the nine Divine Institutes, and many powerful and extraordinary God Kings and even Divine Venerables don't possess one."

"Who would've thought it would be the exclusive reward for taking first place in the Divine Institutes' assessment this time!"

"The Divine Institutes are being all too generous this time!"

"You know, in past years, the top prize for the Divine Institutes' assessment wasn't this precious. The best one would get is a golden card!"

Tianyu Beiling's Mo Yuan looked at the Black Gold Card in the six-star Sovereign's hand, his eyes blazing with eagerness.

Xue Ningning, who had not shown much interest in vying for the top of the Divine Institutes' assessments, just smiled faintly all along.

However, when she saw the Black Gold Card, Xue Ningning's beautiful eyes also flashed keenly.

"It's the most precious cultivation card of the nine Divine Institutes — the Black Gold Star Card!"

"It seems I really need to put in the effort for first place in this Divine Institute's assessment."

"If I can win this card, my cultivation will progress faster and returning to Divine Miao Peak will happen much sooner."

"However, claiming first place won't be easy. I'm not afraid of Tianyu Beiling or Mo Yuan, but Ye Chen... he always seems so inscrutable..."

In the end, Xue Ningning's gaze gently turned towards Ye Chen.

At that moment, Ye Chen's eyes were also fixed on the Black Gold Card in the six-star Sovereign's hand.

"Polar Star Tower?"

"Star Card?"

"I may not know much about many things in the Divine Institutes, but it seems their training competition is quite interesting!"

Outside the arena.

When they saw the exclusive reward for being first in this Divine Institutes' assessment was actually a "Black Gold Star Card," many disciples from the nine Divine Institutes were stunned.

Training in the Divine Institutes, they naturally knew the value of this "Black Gold Star Card"!

They could never have imagined that such a treasured card would be given as a reward for the first place in the selection of new disciples!

"Probably, this exclusive reward is related to Ye Chen."

"After all, Sovereign Xuechen is the top expert in the Divine Institutes, and she has demanded that Ye Chen take first place in the assessment."

"Perhaps because of Long Li, she specifically made this card available..."

The disciples from the nine Divine Institutes, including Lin Xiaowan and Mu Ling, began to speculate.

"A Black Gold Card?! When I obtained one through boundless effort and labor, the Divine Institutes now simply use one as a reward for being first in their assessment; how incredibly generous!"

"That Ye Chen, he definitely cannot be allowed to get his hands on this card. Otherwise, if he enters the 'Polar Star Tower' for cultivation, his growth will be even more rapid!"

Yang Yun, who had become the first on the God King List following Long Li's promotion to the Divine Venerable Realm and disappearance from the list, spoke resentfully.

Considering Ye Chen an enemy, he certainly did not wish for Ye Chen to acquire this incredibly valuable card!

"It must be at the request of Sovereign Xuechen or the Northern Territory King that the Divine Institutes have made a 'Black Gold Card' the exclusive reward of the assessment!"

"It definitely has to be for Ye Chen!"

"Hmph, Ye Chen really has dog's luck. If not for Long Li, I would never believe that two Divine Venerables would favor him so!"

Yang Yun, who was beside Yang Yan, felt even more jealous when he thought of the beautiful and peerless Long Li having feelings for Ye Chen.

"But even if the two Divine Venerables have offered up this priceless 'Black Gold Star Card,' I'm sure Ye Chen won't get it. I can't believe he could get past both Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan!"

Yang Yan's eyes flickered as he silently spoke to himself.

At that moment, Divine Dragon Mountain's sect leader Qin Yuntian was also looking towards Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King.

Clearly, he shared the same thoughts as Yang Yun and Yang Yan— that the "Black Gold Card" was specifically intended for Ye Chen by the two Divine Venerables.

"This kid, having found favor with two Divine Venerable masters, is indeed fortunate."

"However, to acquire the 'Black Gold Star Card,' he will still need to demonstrate his own skill!"

In the end, Qin Yuntian's gaze returned to Ye Chen, filled with enmity.

His own kinsman Qin Feng had died at the hands of Ye Chen, and many real gods of Divine Dragon Mountain had been eliminated by Ye Chen in the assessment, causing Divine Dragon Mountain's ranking in the Divine Institutes' assessment to plummet, with only a few making it into the top two hundred.

Divine Dragon Mountain had truly lost face this time.

This naturally intensified Qin Yuntian's hatred towards Ye Chen.

Contrary to Qin Yuntian's displeasure, at this moment, the East Territory King's face was filled with smiles.

The young princess smoothly entered the Divine Institute, and Ye Chen's performance was also absolutely perfect. The East Territory King was completely satisfied.

At this moment, the East Territory King was just looking forward to Ye Chen clinching the title of number one in the final ranking of the nine great institutes, ending the assessment of the nine great institutes perfectly.

"The exclusive reward of the 'Black Gold Card'?"

In the eyes of the East Territory King, it was already in the bag for Ye Chen.

The East Territory King believed that Ye Chen could achieve this!

At this time, Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King, the focus of many gazes, remained utterly unmoved.

They were the pinnacle figures of the entire divine nation, naturally they feared no idle gossip from anyone, and their decisions were like divine decrees from the heavens, beyond anyone's reproach!

The Northern Territory King merely looked at Ye Chen, muttering to himself, "Ye Chen, this time I have brought out the opportunity for the inheritance of our predecessor Feng Luo, and Sovereign Xuechen has brought out the 'Black Gold Card' as well."

"All this, is because Li'er is very fond of you and acknowledges you greatly."

"You haven't disappointed us so far, don't let us down in this final test."

Ten golden cards, and one most precious "Black Gold Card", the rewards for the top ten and the first place, once revealed, caused countless tremors inside and outside the assessment realm.

Seeing that the incentives were effective, the six-star Venerable overseeing the assessment of the nine institutes nodded and put the eleven cards away once again.

"These cards will be distributed after the assessment ends."

"Now that all the rules for the assessment have been stated, let's begin the final ultimate ranking battle!"

As the six-star Venerable spoke, he waved his hand grandly, and immediately the sky roared as ten grand aerial platforms appeared out of thin air.

"Now, persons ranked in the top ten in the ranking screen, as the current front ten placeholder, go first to the aerial platforms."

"The remaining two hundred and thirteen who passed through 'qualifying battles' and entered the last round 'ultimate ranking battle,' follow the ranking order from lowest to highest, picking someone from the top ten to challenge, launching an assault on the top ten!"

As the voice of the six-star Venerable fell, Ye Chen, Xue Ningning, Tianyu Beiling, Mo Yuan, and other top ten on the ranking screen, immediately moved and arrived atop the ten aerial platforms.

The rest of the two hundred plus who could participate in the ultimate ranking battle were directly below the platforms, and among them, the very last-ranked True God of Nine Tribulations, promptly stepped forward.

The first step of the ultimate ranking battle, the fight for the top ten, had finally begun!

The first Nine Tribulations True God to step forward for a challenge chose to battle the martial artist ranked tenth in the middle of the arena.

As a result, after a very short duration of battle, this challenger directly suffered defeat.

Then, the next person also stood up to initiate a challenge towards the top ten.

As battles ensued one after another, countless people noticed that almost all challengers were opting to challenge those ranked tenth, ninth, and eighth in the top ten.

There were exceedingly few challenges against the first few ranks.

After all, those occupying the top ranks on the ranking screen, like Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan, were extremely renowned figures. Those fighting for the top ten naturally didn't dare to contend with such figures.

Only a dozen or so martial artists who wanted to spar with Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan dared to challenge them a few times.

And when all the challenges were over, and the final top ten were determined, everyone realized that not a single person had dared to challenge Ye Chen!

Over two hundred challengers vying for the top ten, yet not one of them initiated a challenge against Ye Chen, which was certainly very eye-catching.

However, upon careful consideration, everyone came to a realization.

Ye Chen's performance in the previous rounds was well-known to all – whether in the first round of the "great elimination", where he eliminated a hundred true gods from Divine Dragon Mountain in one fell swoop, being the first to break into the second round showing formidable strength.

Or his shocking comprehension of the Bloodlight Blade Technique during the second round "ranking battles", the sole person to make it to the fourth floor of the Assessment Ancient Tomb.

Or during the third round's charge through the Wind Origin Tower, where he broke into the sixth floor of the tower with the fastest speed, and in the end, reached the awe-inspiring pinnacle of becoming a Nine Tribulations True God!

Everyone knew how formidable Ye Chen was!

Compete for the top ten?

Of course, they'd rather spar with Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan, than dare to contest against Ye Chen!

The awe for Ye Chen amongst countless assessors was written all over their faces!

This made Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan, who were also in the top ten, increasingly aggravated.

However, as much as they were annoyed, they suppressed it, because with the top ten decided, the final battle for the ultimate ranking's top place was about to begin.

Competing for the number one from the top ten involved one-on-one combat, they all had a chance to face Ye Chen.

Annoyed with Ye Chen?

They could only prove themselves with their strength.

Otherwise, any show of bitterness followed by defeat would only make them the laughingstock.

At that moment, the six-star Venerable hosting the assessment from the nine institutes, seeing the more than two hundred challengers and the remaining ten standing on the platform of the top ten, declared, "Now, since the top ten have been decided, you ten will each receive a golden Star Card!"

"Now, begin the pairwise battles to compete for the first place!"

"I announce the first bout of contestants, Ye Chen versus Mo Yuan, Xue Ningning versus Tianyu Beiling..."

As this six-star Venerable announced the first pairings for the battle to determine the winner of the nine institutes' assessment, many people were astounded.

They hadn't expected that the battle would start with a peak confrontation among the four strongest members of the top ten!
