Night without Borders

Chapter 443 Super Event

In the bright night sky, countless characters floated on the newly unfolded list, seemingly adorned with countless stars, shining brilliantly.

The characters were like red-hot metal, their light barely concealed by the thick night fog, and they were flowing, gradually spreading across the entire new list.

Such an unusual sight naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh, some names are missing," someone whispered.

Everyone present was very perceptive and noticed this detail: the flowing characters, like a galaxy, caused some names to disappear into thin air wherever they passed.

They turned into wisps of light and quickly evaporated.

"The top-ranked 'night owl' has disappeared first!"

That was a top-ten master, whose name mysteriously disappeared.

"What happened? The highly competitive '3,000-year-old female' ranking has also been removed. Is the new ranking going to change drastically?"

People were surprised and puzzled as to why so many top experts suddenly disappeared from the list.
"Even the outstanding and powerful female warrior 'Retired Queen Mother' has been removed from the list!"

"The name 'Accumulated Laziness Becomes Immortal' has faded away, despite its extremely rapid rise. It is a terrifying master who is expected to be among the top ten."

"What's going on? The true form of 'I am ill' has disappeared. Just now, he was chatting and laughing with a beautiful fairy right next to me."

People were in an uproar and completely lost their composure, with some popular and powerful figures disappearing from the list one after another.

Moreover, some people were just there. For example, I, being ill, chatted with several beautiful female cultivators, but then inexplicably left.

Everyone knows something serious has happened.

Some people have experienced similar things in the cities corresponding to the second realm. At that time, the "Lord of Jade Capital", who ranked first, suddenly disappeared.

Is this a repeat of the past? It's even more serious now.

Moreover, the previous incident has not been fully explained.

“My lady, ‘I am lustful’ was right beside you just now. Where did he go? Did you see him?” someone asked.

The strikingly beautiful young woman blushed slightly and said, "The person who was beside me just now is a man who is ill."

"Same."

The young female cultivator calmed herself down and shook her head, saying, "I didn't notice; I don't know when he left."

This is true. Just a moment ago, the real bodies of other expelled individuals also suddenly disappeared. This is not an isolated case.

Then, people noticed that all the sparring and competitions on the sword-fighting platform had stopped, and many people standing on the platform looked somewhat bewildered.

Qin Ming frowned; he was originally attempting the "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life" challenge.

The phantom of the main figure had solidified and become lifelike. It was a young man in blue robes with a pale, sickly complexion. He held a wooden staff with a few bright green leaves growing at the top, radiating a fresh life force.

He appeared frail, but when he swung his wooden staff, a profound Taoist aura emanated from him, accompanied by a deafening booming sound.

Qin Ming had already unleashed a sword strike, a fusion of sword energy that illuminated the entire platform. Even those below felt their hair stand on end and their hearts pound with fear.

The sword strike landed on the wooden staff, and the night sky seemed to distort, as if it were about to collapse.

The two on the dueling platform were about to determine a winner, but at the crucial moment, the scene suddenly froze, and the boy holding the green wooden staff faded away.

People discovered that the withered tree had not been removed from the new list, and the competition was terminated due to an unexpected accident, meaning the stone man did not win by default.

"The Stone Man's sword aura is incredibly strong, even more terrifying than before. He truly deserves his place on the new rankings. It's a pity we didn't get to see the final result!"

Some people feel regret.

In the night fog, the new list glowed. After being washed by a stream of characters, more than a dozen names were missing, including many top-ranked experts.

"We need an explanation!" Many people tried to communicate about the list in the night sky.

Many people became wary, and suddenly some people were gone. Were they driven away, or... eliminated? This made the vigilant uneasy.

In fact, it wasn't just this one city; high above, in the pitch-black night fog, all the dueling arenas were filled with noise, and none could find peace.

"We need to know the truth about what happened!"

Because the number of names on the lists corresponding to each realm has decreased, ranging from six or seven people to more than twenty.

Soon, a new list flashed, and a clear line of text appeared, telling everyone the truth: a terrifying lineage from afar was trying to seize the opportunity and temporarily take over the embryonic form of Jade Capital.

Newrank then went on to explain that it had just cleared out the visitors from outside the domain; a few beings were killed, but most were guided out.

In an instant, people gasped in shock, their minds reeling. This was no small conflict; it was very likely that a major event was about to unfold.

The so-called terrifying lineage does not refer to the regions adjacent to Night State, but rather to the far reaches of the more expansive Night Fog World, originating from an unimaginable distance.

"The area outside the Yujing radiation zone!"

Many people felt overwhelmed after realizing the seriousness of the problem.

That level is too high; it is clearly a powerful force that can rival Yujing.

"From the Tushita Palace, or that ancient temple, or perhaps a larger organization from even further away?"

"Weren't some of them already... half-destroyed?"

A few old monsters whispered, knowing a little about some things in the deeper parts of the Night Fog world.

"Perhaps it's Night Market?"

Many people were uneasy. Once it came to the level of Jade Capital, even the old monsters of the Earth Immortal realm were wary and had no idea what to do.

"Warning! Prepare to meet the enemy!" Six blood-red characters appeared on the new list, solemnly warning everyone in the seven cities.

Everyone was utterly bewildered. They had only come to exchange skills and compete for opportunities, hoping to gain the qualification to take over the embryonic form of Jade Capital. Why did it have to be a bloody battle?

Moreover, this could very well mean fighting against a glorious and enduring power that has been passed down from ancient times. Can they withstand it?
Suddenly, high in the sky, the dark sea of ​​night mist churned, like a surging tide, with black waves crashing in all directions.

A mysterious aura emanated: "Friends of Yujing, you have misunderstood. We were merely passing through and stumbled upon a very meaningful contest. Some of our disciples wish to participate." This was not a real voice, but rather a spread of Daoist energy, the meaning of which could be perceived by everyone.

Before the dueling arena, there are no truly innocent and naive youths; who would believe its words? They arrived as soon as Jade Capital was born, suggesting their ambitions are far-reaching.

"Yujing has been rebuilt, there is no need to be afraid!" New words appeared on the new list, reassuring everyone.

Many people nodded in agreement; this was indeed the truth. If this mysterious and powerful force could truly sweep away all obstacles and overthrow Yujing, they wouldn't have waited until now; they would have acted long ago.

The black night fog rippled, and that fluctuation expanded once more: "How about we continue our friendly sparring in a more amicable atmosphere? Would you allow us to participate?"

People don't know whether it's a rare treasure or a powerful being; they can't even see its form.

The new list suddenly shone brightly, as if burning, extremely dazzling, like a blazing sun rising and then rushing into the depths of the night fog.

Instantly, a black tide surged forth, the heavens above boiled, and the pitch-black night seemed about to be torn apart.

That was the Daoist energy burning. The newcomer and the outsider were clearly in conflict, constantly clashing and exchanging blows!

A moment later, the glowing list returned.

In the night fog, that mysterious fluctuation came once again: "We were swept here by the divine magnetic storm and accidentally landed in this territory. We keep our word and this is just a friendly sparring match. We have absolutely no intention of attacking Yujing."

Moreover, this time it revealed part of its outline, tall, majestic, and very imposing.

It was a tower, but it lacked the aesthetic appeal of "extreme numbers," far exceeding nine stories. Although it was covered by black mist, it could still be roughly seen that it should have dozens of stories, standing there like a towering mountain peak.

Newrank and it reached a partial consensus, allowing the creatures of the two places to engage in so-called exchanges.

However, such a fight is probably far from the "friendship" and "harmony" they mentioned. How could there be no bloodshed once they started fighting?

After the new rankings returned, the rankings of top players changed rapidly, and the number of players in each realm was replenished.

Those who were originally ranked outside the top 100, which was a great pity, have now been promoted and entered the top 100 without even realizing it.

However, they couldn't laugh; they all realized that they were likely to be sent on a campaign and about to engage in a bloody battle.

Qin Ming discovered that his ranking in the third realm had changed, and his challenge had been recognized?
"The top spot has changed! One Sword Pierces Through Thirty-Six Heavens is now tied for first place with Withered Tree Reborn!"

Many people looked up and were shocked. The stone man was so terrifying that he had been listed on the new list even before he had officially fought his opponent and had only made initial contact with him.

Cui Qi looked up and gazed at his son, then turned to his second son and smiled, saying, "Your defeat was not unjust; this is an old monster from the Earth Immortal realm!"

He then added, "Being able to fight against the top of the list, even if you lose, will be a great story. From then on, everyone will know that you once fought against a Celestial Immortal."

……

Lines of text quickly appeared on the new list, reassuring everyone that there was no need to be afraid. The place where Yujing was located could never be overthrown by outsiders. Just treat it as a harmless contest with a powerful lineage from afar.

The text on it kept flashing, informing all those on the list that all those who participated in the battle would receive double the rewards on the new list!
Immediately, many people showed surprise, and then became interested.

They felt that this battle was inevitable, and Newrank's willingness to be so generous was all the better.

Moreover, the new list conveyed a message that this powerful lineage had recently traveled to the deepest part of the Night Fog World and harvested rare treasures.

Because Newrank sensed something unusual.

"But any gains will belong to you personally."

"Would it be of use to us as well?" an old monster asked.

A message appeared on the new list, responding earnestly: "It will be of great use!"

Immediately, the tense crowd stirred. It had a miraculous effect even on an old monster at the Earth Immortal level. What kind of rare and precious treasure was it?
"There might be an elixir of immortality!" someone speculated.

Suddenly, all those on the list were suspended in mid-air and found a wooden boat beneath their feet, filled with azure mist. Each of them had a boat and stood on it.

This "sparring" will not take place on the sword-fighting stage, but in the sea of ​​night mist high in the sky. The fight is destined to be bloody and accompanied by death, but the new ranking will try its best to protect everyone from harm.

When these words appeared on the new list, it immediately caused an uproar. This was definitely not a friendly match; it was a fight to the death. Defeat meant no resurrection, and life and death were decided at every turn!
"Can I still get off the ship?" Naturally, some people wanted to quit, but they knew in their hearts that they had probably been coerced and had no other choice.

"No!" Sure enough, Newrank replied succinctly and forcefully with two bloody words.

Then, another message appeared on the new list: When foreign enemies invade, all living beings in the Jade Capital region have an obligation to fight.

"How did I end up on the ship?" The great red dragon from Pugong, the mount of the patriarch of calligraphy, was completely bewildered. It had just arrived and hadn't even made a move yet, so it wasn't even on the list.

“All the experts have been recruited,” Newrank responded to it.

Li Qingxu didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He also appeared on a wooden boat, but he did not participate in the competition, yet he was also recognized as a master of his generation.
Cao Tian glanced at him and said, "You're not good enough yet; you're only benefiting from my help."

Because the two of them were on a small wooden boat.

Among the seven cities, countless wooden boats soared into the sky, accompanied by surging blue clouds, with many reserve personnel following behind in small boats.

After the group set off, the wooden boat roared and carried everyone into the depths of the Sea of ​​Night Fog.

During the journey, Xinbang specifically communicated with Qin Ming and a few other young people, informing them that in the upcoming duel, it might not be able to maintain the fairness of the seven realms, and that an old monster might break through the upper limit and fully recover.

Qin Ming was instantly stunned, his head spinning. Could he possibly encounter a seventh-realm Earth Immortal? This was practically hellish difficulty; he could almost smell the pungent stench of blood!

The new list displayed text, telling them that if anything went wrong and things became unmanageable, they could seek refuge deep within the ruins of the cave. It quickly transmitted a special topographical map to everyone, with all the markings clearly displayed.

Who is Taiyi?

"Which one belongs to the Realm School?"

"Has the legend of 'One sword piercing through thirty-six heavens' and 'Withered trees blossoming again in spring' arrived?"

……

"Friends of Yujing, I humbly request your guidance!"

Within the pitch-black tower, some beings spoke up, directly naming the top experts of each realm. Were they aiming for a high-level match right from the start?
Qin Ming's expression was solemn. Just what kind of powerful force was this, and where did it come from? Today, the heavens above would likely be stained red with blood.
