Sealed Divine Throne

Chapter 674: Temples’ Great Gathering (II)

Translator: GravityTales

The Alliance could only turn a blind eye in this situation. After all, this was something they had no way to supervise perfectly. However, the Alliance would never set up their own gambling stalls, after all, the contest involved the Six Great Temples; doing that would surely cause them to be accused of controlling the results.

Today’s weather was good, with thin clouds hovering over the sky, mostly covered in dark blue. As the sun rose, a cleansing feeling spread to the people.

The rising sun illuminated the whole earth.

Half an hour later, the six entrances of the stadium opened, and spectators started entering under a strict inspection.

The spectators able to enter inside the Alliance’s Great Stadium had to either spend a lot of money, or had made enormous contribution for the Alliance.

Two girlish figures rapidly attracted all the surrounding attention because they were just too beautiful. The girl clad in a red gown had a fiery temper and enchanting looks, but very clear eyes; by her side was another girl wearing a white skirt, whose delicate purity made her appear just like a superior being.

“Wah, Ye Weiyang and Feng Ling’er!” Someone recognized them.

Right, these two absolute beauties were the current leaders of the Alliance’s Great Auction House, beautiful and possessing an enormous wealth and authority. But the most important point to a lot of male figures was that they were both unmarried!

Immediately, the calls of their names resonated all around like great tides.

Ye Weiyang had a smiling expression, waving at the surrounding masses without pause. But Feng Ling’er was a lot calmer, only advancing calmly. The two girls’ differences in temperaments gave them even greater popularity amongst the people, but, what a shame, these girls had powerhouses from the Six Great Temples on guard at their side. Breaking past them was totally impossible.

When the two girls’ figures disappeared in the entrance of the stadium, the excited calls gradually calmed down.

Spectators only had half an hour to enter the venue. Being late was unacceptable as the six entrances were reclosed very fast. The guards then became a lot stricter, because they knew that the real contestants were about to arrive.

Right at this time, an odd group had appeared at the entrance of the Temples’ Great Gathering.

Totalling ten, they were all clad in large cloaks, and had even their faces concealed, as they directly made their way inside the Knight Stadium.

The person in charge of guarding the entrance was a knight of the eighth step clad in Mythril Foundation Armor. Seeing the group come over, he couldn’t help but wrinkle his brows. What were the ones guarding the entrances doing? It was already past the right time, yet they were actually allowed to enter.

With a wave of his hand, he intercepted these people, but very rapidly understood why they were allowed to pass. A brilliant insignia appeared right in front of his eyes.

The Mythril Foundation Knight beat his chest with his right fist, resonantly performing a standard knight salute, and actually making an exception by opening the door to let them enter.

A lot of people saw this scene, but they didn’t think about it too much. In their eyes, they were clearly some people from the Knight Temple.

After this small episode, a truly stirring event took place. Six teams appeared from six different passages.

These were thirty-six knights, thirty-six mages, thirty-six assassins, thirty-six warriors, thirty-six summoners, and thirty-six priests, all of whom entered simultaneously from all entrances of the stadium.

They were all clad in equipment symbolizing their own Temples.

The highest target of attention was from the Knight Temple: the one leading them had a tall build, his azure armor dispersing incomparable auras of mightiness. That was the armor transformed from the Divine Throne of Order and Law! Behind him was a row of Golden Foundation Armored Knights, whose golden-bright and dazzling sight dazzled the people’s eyes.

The contestants from the Knight Temple had come: Divine Knight Long Tianying and the thirty-five Golden Foundation Knights under his lead. These were the true greatest forces of the Knight Temple.

The Golden Foundation Knights at the front even dispersed orange glints of the epic tier.

For a moment, the people’s cheers rose to a peak. How many times in their lives would they be able to see so many divine tools and equipment of epic and legendary tier? How could they not be excited?

Cheers could be heard on every corner of Holy City. Powerhouses of the Six Great Temples were entering the Alliance’s Great Stadium, and the Temples’ Great Gathering was finally about to start.

Inside the Alliance’s Great Stadium.

This was totally different from the Demon Hunt Competition. At the time of the latter, the inside of the stadium was divided into three areas, each of which was assigned to a Temple. But these divided areas were now totally united as one, the huge stadium’s inside linked into a single one immense field. Everyone that entered was surely a shocking figure.

In the six directions were six honored guest lounges. They were elevated highly, and could all look down on the stage from a height. Don’t think that this is just an area for spectators: the guests in here were either powerhouses or great figures in the Alliance’s balance of power. And they were shouldering an important mission: to establish a defensive barrier covering the whole Alliance’s Great Stadium through a magic array on the guests’ lounge.

Contestants in the Temples’ Great Gathering were all powerhouses of the eighth step. What terrifying level would the spiritual energy fluctuations produced during their clashes reach? Without a sufficiently powerful defensive barrier, this stadium would already be wrecked in just a few matches.

Except from the ones in the honored guests’ lounge, the rest was only contestants in their resting areas. After the thirty-six people in each Temple entered, they returned to their own area to wait for the formal start of the Temples’ Great Gathering.

“The Six Great Temples’ contestants have all entered the stadium. Director referee, please give your instructions.” A vigorous and energetic voice resounded through the stage on the side of the Knight Temple.

Immediately, a vigorous voice sounded out, “Close the doors. Until the contests terminate, no one will be allowed to go through.”

“Yes!”

Along with these sonorous sounds of collisions, the six gates closed slowly guarded by powerhouses of the eighth step from each Temple.

A voice full of august spread out, “I am Chen Zidian, referee for this year’s Temples’ Great Gathering. This year, fifty-four Demon Hunters will be acting as referees, ensuring fairness and equitability. The rules have been announced long ago, so I don’t have much more to say. Let the lots drawing ceremony start for the first stage, the individual competition.” historical
