Chapter 533: The Solemnity of the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor

"I surrender."

That True God deity didn't wait for Wu Yifan to act; without a second word, he chose to surrender. After all, so many deities couldn't withstand a single sword strike from Wu Yifan, let alone a piece of trash like him at the Early Stage of the True God realm.

Watching them all get eliminated and confirming that they were the only ones left in the Eight Desolations Divine Realm, Wu Yifan turned to look at the Wan Guang Sect Disciples and spoke.

"Alright, next, you all fight among yourselves to determine the rankings."

"Yes, Senior Brother Wu!"

The Wan Guang Sect Disciples behind him spoke with incredibly excited tones, clearly thrilled because Wu Yifan had carried them to victory.

Before long, the Wan Guang Sect Disciples had one after another determined the winners and losers. They then left the Eight Desolations Divine Realm in order, but before leaving, they all came before Wu Yifan to express their gratitude.

After all, Wu Yifan had helped them obtain such high rankings; the rewards they would receive at the Thousand Sect Competition would be enough to help them advance many steps forward.

Soon, Wu Yifan was the only one left in the Eight Desolations Divine Realm.

Wu Yifan also felt a wave of rejection force descending upon his body. Before exiting, he looked toward the place he had previously suppressed, his expression appearing somewhat solemn.

Although he didn't know what it was, Wu Yifan estimated that the thing was likely very dangerous and that he would inevitably encounter it again in the future.

In the next second, Wu Yifan was teleported out.

Meanwhile, outside the Eight Desolations Divine Realm, God Lord Wan Guang looked at the teleported Disciples of the Wan Guang Sect and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the Disciples of his Wan Guang Sect were fine, it was enough.

And soon, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor spoke up.

"There is no one left inside the Eight Desolations Divine Realm."

Before God Lord Wan Guang could understand what the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor meant by those words, he saw Wu Yifan's figure emerge from the Eight Desolations Divine Realm in the next second.

After Wu Yifan came out of the Eight Desolations Divine Realm, another Seal appeared at the entrance, sealing the Eight Desolations Divine Realm once again.

With this, the Thousand Sect Competition was declared to have come to a close.

Some Sect Masters who saw that the Prodigy Disciples from their own Sects had not come out were immediately furious. After all, those were good seeds who could Cultivate to the True God or even Earth God realm within ten thousand years. If nurtured well, they would certainly be able to Cultivate to the Divine Venerable realm in the future, and there might even be hope for the God Emperor realm.

"Who was it! Who killed the Disciples of my Heavenly Ghost Sect!"

"Damn it, why is it that not a single Disciple of my Luan Cao Sect survived!"

"If I find out who killed the Disciples of my Ren Dao Sect, I will definitely make them pay in blood!"

Countless Divine Venerables spoke with immense rage, but at that moment, a terrifying aura swept through.

"Silence. Did this Venerable not say that in the Thousand Sect Competition, life and death are irrelevant and no one is to pursue matters afterward? Are you all treating this Venerable's words as wind passing by your ears?"

The speaker was none other than the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor. He frowned slightly and spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction.

Hearing the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor speak, the previously furious Divine Venerables were instantly silenced, unable to say a word for a long time.

After a good while, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor spoke again in a calm tone.

"Elder Qin."

"Sect Master!"

As the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's words fell, Elder Qin arrived at his side in an instant.

The Eight Desolations Divine Emperor continued to speak.

"Have the rankings for the Thousand Sect Competition been determined?"

"Sect Master, I have already determined the rankings of the Thousand Sect Competition according to the order in which they emerged from the Eight Desolations Divine Realm."

Elder Qin hurriedly replied.

The Eight Desolations Divine Emperor nodded and said, "In that case, let the thousand Disciples who entered the top one thousand stay behind to receive the rewards this Venerable has prepared for them."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

After Elder Qin finished speaking, he quickly went before the Disciples of the thousand Sects present according to the order they had emerged from the Eight Desolations Divine Realm and announced their rankings.

The Disciples who learned they had entered the top one thousand were filled with excitement. Even the reward for the thousandth place was enough to let them take another step forward; after all, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor was famously generous.

Thinking of something else, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor looked at Wu Yifan, who was the last to come out. His expression became exceptionally solemn, and he subconsciously intended to probe Wu Yifan's background.

However, at the moment the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor looked at Wu Yifan, Wu Yifan also sensed it and looked back at him.

Just from the moment he saw Wu Yifan's gaze, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's eyes couldn't help but flash with shock.

"What a terrifying gaze. What exactly is this kid's origin? Furthermore, I actually cannot see through his background."

The Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's expression was solemn as he thought to himself. One must know that his insight could see through a person's entire life; after all, he was a God Emperor, let alone the fact that Wu Yifan was just a mere Heavenly God.

There were only two possibilities for this situation: either Wu Yifan possessed at least a Grade Nine Divine Artifact for protection, or Wu Yifan's origin was extraordinary, and his destiny had already exceeded the limits of what he could peer into.

But regardless of which one it was, it indicated that Wu Yifan was definitely not an existence to be trifled with.

"So, it must have been him who suppressed that thing inside the Eight Desolations Divine Realm just now."

The Eight Desolations Divine Emperor soon thought of this point. After all, besides the possibility that Wu Yifan had suppressed that thing, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor could think of no other reason why the power within his body would suddenly calm down.

Thinking of this, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor pondered for a moment and then walked toward Wu Yifan's direction.

As the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor moved, the surrounding experts couldn't help but look in his direction. They saw him quickly stop in front of Wu Yifan. Looking at Wu Yifan, a rare smile actually appeared on that habitually stern face as he said, "Young friend, you are the champion of this Thousand Sect Competition. According to the rules, this Venerable must personally give you the reward. So, come with this Venerable."

After saying that, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor waved his hand and directly took Wu Yifan away.

Seeing this scene, God Lord Wan Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously intended to intervene, but in the end, reason triumphed over impulse.

He thought about the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor's identity; after all, the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor was a God Emperor, so how could he possibly act against Wu Yifan?

Even if he were to act against Wu Yifan, he wouldn't do it behind their backs; he would do it openly and honorably.

Therefore, the reward presentation mentioned by the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor was likely just that.

As for the Disciples from the thousand Sects who participated in the Thousand Sect Competition, they looked at Wu Yifan being taken away by the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor with faces full of envy.

But they also knew very well that they did not have such terrifying strength as Wu Yifan, so the idea of being personally awarded by the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor was something they could only dream about.

Moreover, it seemed that there had been no precedent in previous Thousand Sect Competitions for the Eight Desolations Divine Emperor to personally award the champion. In other words, had Wu Yifan set a new precedent?
