The charming widow of the Marquis's mansion: The stable boy carries the flag and raises the dra

next moment.

A gentle yet irresistible force of recoil surged from the scales, sending the Northern Region leader flying.

He tumbled several times in the air before finally regaining his balance. When he landed, he staggered several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his fingers gripping the hilt of the knife trembling slightly.

He glanced down at his longsword, noticing three visible cracks on its blade.

On the scales on the neck of the Haotian Divine Deer clone, only a very faint white scratch remained, almost invisible in the grayish-white light.

Outside the light screen, the spectators on the platform watched this scene in an uproar.

"So many people from the Northern Region joined forces, yet they couldn't even break through the defenses?"

Just how strong are that deer's defenses?

"Peak Heavenly Sovereign... indeed, numbers alone cannot compensate for this."

The scenes from the northern region continue.

The cultivators from the Northern Region did not give up after their first combined attack failed. They tried various tactics: some circled around behind the deer to try to attack its tail, some swooped down from above to attack its antlers, and some even tried to use spiritual energy chains to entangle the deer's legs and restrict its movement.

No matter how they changed their angles and methods, their attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree when they landed on the pale golden scales, achieving very little effect.

The clone of Haotian Divine Deer never retaliated, but simply stood quietly in place, enduring everything.

In the upper right corner of the screen, a pale gold number was slowly ticking; that was the real-time damage statistics for the Northern Region.

The number changed from the initial "0" to "3", then jumped to "7", and then to "12", with each increase being negligible.

On the Sendai, people were discussing in hushed tones.

"A dozen or so people from the Northern Region have been fighting for so long, and the total damage is only a dozen points?"

"This is outrageous! Just how thick is that deer's defense?"

Before the discussions had subsided, the images of the Southern and Western Regions on the light screen began to change.

The contestants from the Southern Region chose a similar tactic to those from the Northern Region, concentrating their firepower on the deer's belly.

The scales there are a lighter color, indicating that the area is relatively weak in terms of defense.

More than a dozen attacks landed on the deer's belly at the same time, causing a burst of spiritual light, surging air currents, and flying dust, creating a magnificent spectacle.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the clone of the Haotian Divine Deer was still standing in the same spot, without even a scratch on the scales on its belly.

On the contrary, some of the attackers were so shaken by the backlash that their hands went numb, and some even turned pale from the backlash of spiritual energy.

The damage numbers on the screen jumped slowly a few times before finally stopping at "8".

The situation in the Western Regions is slightly better; their martial arts are known for their unpredictability and penetrating power.

Several Western Region cultivators joined forces and used a spiral-shaped spiritual energy drill-like attack to repeatedly strike the same point on the deer's neck, leaving a shallow white mark.

The damage number jumped to "14", which was higher than both the Northern and Southern Regions, but still pitifully low.

On the Sendai, the leaders and elders from various regions had different expressions.

The leader of the Southern Region looked rather grim, and he whispered something to the elder beside him.

"This supreme-level defense is clearly not designed for these children. What exactly is the Eternal Emperor testing?"

The leader of the Western Regions Snake Bone Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone thoughtful.

"The damage numbers are indeed low, but at least it shows that the attack has feedback. As long as there is feedback, it means there is a way to increase the damage, but we haven't found that way yet."

Before he finished speaking, the images of the four major sects in the Central Region finally lit up on the light screen.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's eyes were drawn to the light screen.

Nearly a hundred contestants from the four major sects of the Central Region—Qianyuan Sect, Dide Sect, Kunyin Sect, and Tianlan Sect—appeared simultaneously on that gray-white plain.

Their formation was much larger than that of the previous three major domains. Their colorful robes stood out against the gray-white sunlight, and the light from their unsheathed magical weapons converged into a flowing galaxy.

The avatar of the Haotian Divine Deer materialized before them, maintaining its quiet and composed demeanor.

Zhao Heng of the Qian Yuan Sect stood at the front of the crowd, calmly observing the deer-shaped clone.

Wang Qingyan beside him had already gripped her short sword tightly, and moon-white spiritual energy flowed continuously around her body, eager to use it.

Shi Yue of the Di De Sect silently raised the heavy spiritual energy shield, Yin Jiuyou of the Kun Yin Sect was so faint that he was almost invisible, and Ling Feng of the Tian Lan Sect gently gripped the cyan longsword at his waist.

The numerical advantage of the Central Region was fully displayed at this moment. Nearly a hundred Supreme Realm cultivators attacked at the same time, and various colored spiritual lights poured down like a torrential rain from all directions towards the clone of the Haotian Divine Deer.

Zhao Heng's dark golden blade light, like a bolt of lightning traversing the plain, carrying an incomparably fierce momentum, slashed fiercely at the base of the deer antlers.

Wang Qingyan's moon-white sword energy followed closely behind, precisely striking the gaps in the scales. Shi Yue's giant shield, though lacking offensive power, pressed down from the side, suppressing the space around the deer's body with its heavy spiritual energy.

Yin Jiuyou's dark, short dagger, like a venomous snake's tongue, silently pierced the deer's belly. Ling Feng's azure sword light, like a gentle breeze, swept across the deer's body several times at incredible speed.

The attacks from the remaining nearly one hundred cultivators also landed almost simultaneously. The sound of colliding spiritual energy was like a thousand thunderclaps, and the shockwaves swirled the dust on the ground several feet high, enveloping the avatar of the Haotian Divine Deer in a chaotic light.

The damage numbers on the screen began to jump rapidly.

Each jump was much faster than the first three major domains, and the number quickly broke through "50" and continued to climb.

On the platform, the elder of the Qian Yuan Sect in the central viewing area, wearing a dark gold robe, finally smiled again, stroking his beard with a hint of reserved pride in his voice.

"Did you see that? This is the true strength of the Central Region. Nearly a hundred Supreme Realm cultivators joined forces. Even if that deer has the defense of a peak Heavenly Supreme, it will still have to react in some way."

The gray-robed old man beside him nodded, his expression much more relaxed than before.

"The disciples of the Central Region each have their own strengths. As long as they cooperate properly, the damage they can deal is far beyond what the other regions can match. Zhao Heng's swordsmanship is steady, Wang Qingyan's swordsmanship is precise, and Shi Yue's defensive suppression is also very effective. In terms of output efficiency alone, the Central Region is indeed far ahead of the other regions."

Someone in the southern viewing area sighed softly.

"These holy sons and daughters of the Central Region are indeed all chosen ones. Nearly a hundred of them attacked at the same time and were able to achieve such an effect. If their coordination were even better, the damage would probably be even greater."

The leader of the Western Regions Snake Bone Sect nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of sincere approval.

"The Central Region's foundation is indeed profound. Zhao Heng and Ling Feng's attacks landed in the same spot, which was obviously a tacit cooperation. It's just that the others can't keep up with their pace, otherwise the damage numbers could have jumped even higher."

Discussions were rife on the platform. Everyone was amazed by the overall strength of the Central Region, but also regretted that the Central Region disciples did not coordinate well enough, which caused many attacks to be wasted on different parts of the deer's body, failing to create the maximum cumulative effect.

But just then, someone suddenly said something.

"Where is the Eastern Region? Why haven't we seen any images of the Eastern Region on the screen yet?"
