As geniuses scrambled to climb higher, battles soon began on the walls of the plateau.
Geniuses fighting to kick out the opponent next to them.
Instantly Jin long encountered his first opponent.
It was a red haired man with a wild aura, he wielded a sledge hammer as he smashed towards Jin long.
Judging from the force in his attack, he would be a praticioner in the sixth tier of body refining level.
As the sledge hammer approached him, he leapt of the platform , narrowly dodging that terrible blow.
On normal circumstances, he would be in a state of panic, but due to the effects of the emperor spirit, he even felt disdain for that strike.
With the force of the jump, he quickly arrived above the young genius.
Whispering into his ear he said " you should be more accurate next time"
Next he clenched his fist and activated his dragon spirit.
BOOM!.
A loud explosion was heard, startling people all around the plateau, staring at the source of the sound, they saw the red haired youth, thrown of the platform.
Meanwhile Jin long was contemplating on the battle just now, his greatest forte were his and perception, but he was lacking in the strength aspect.
Calming down his thoughts, he resumed his ascension to the top of the plateau. As more time passed more people were eliminated and only six were still ascending.
The ability of the other five geniuses to keep climbing wasn't surprising because they were the treasured child of the five great family of the grey cloud district.
The surprising one was Jin long, no one knew who he was, everyone was waiting to watch the exciting battle of geniuses.
Very soon, Dan liu met liu xiaoming on a platform .
Dan liu dressed in purple scanned his opponent with utter seriousness, while liu xiaoming was indifferent about Dan liu, which made it seems as though she didn't put him in her eyes.
Dan liu spotting this reaction flew into rage instantly.
Rushing towards her he snarled "bitch, take my fist" while executing the Dan clan's famous technique, the leiting fist, his lightening spirit instantly gathered on his fist granting him immense explosive power.
Meanwhile, liu xiaoming seeing Dan liu dashing towards her with the full power of a genius praticioner at the eight tier of the body refining level, just smiled.
Pulling out two similar fans ardoned with flowers, she shifted slightly to the right, letting Dan liu bypass her, she struck his back furiously with the back of her fan , causing an halt to his movement, she then landed a palm on his back instantly throwing him onto a lower platform.
Just like that that the battle between the geniuses of the five clans commenced the only people who didn't encounter an opponent were Jin long and lin feng.
Soon the geniuses were nearing their limits and couldn't continue moving up.
The first person to quit was Dan liu, as much as he was embarrassed and unwilling to stop he couldn't withstand a higher level of pressure, so he had to stop.
Next he was followed by Wang hua then yang Kai.
Liu xiaoming ascended for some time before she also quit.
Staring at the remaining two geniuses still ascending, they all revealed a touch of admiration.
Jin long and lin feng kept steadily ascending, but everyone quickly noticed that lin feng was nearing his limit.
Very soon, he could ascend no longer and could only stare unwillingly as Jin long bypassed him.
By now it wouldn't be long before Jin long reached the peak of the plateau, based on his current speed.
And just as they guessed, Jin long finally stepped on the peak.
BOOM!
The moment Jin long placed his first leg on the peak, a strange force attacked him instantly.
This strange force didn't attack his physical body but rather his soul!.
Jin long was greatly terrified as beads of sweat rolled down his face .
Gritting his teeth to the extent that it made scraping sounds, he moved on, finally fully ascending the plateau.
The next thing he saw was a platform at the center of the peak.
The platform was ardoned with strange runes and inscriptions, seeming to contain the mysteries of the world within them, and to top it all the soul attack was most potent at the platform.
Gritting his teeth, Jin long summoned all his spirits one by one.
With the emperor spirit as base, he added the nine coloured divine dragon spirit, then the infinite demon spirit, followed by the world splitting sword spirit.
By now Jin long had grown over three meters but he felt that it wasn't enough to over come the challenge he was currently facing, he then summoned the absolute beginning chaos spirit.
After the addition of the absolute beginning chaos spirit, Jin long's aura changed entirely.
A towering phantom of a man appeared behind him, the man dressed in golden armor wielded the world splitting sword, a nine coloured divine dragon rose behind him roaring to the heavens in protest, then behind him. . . A terrifying chaos storm was brewing.
As if sensing Jin long's provocation, a mighty soul destroying beam rose from the platform and struck towards Jin long.
The beam hadn't reach Jin long but his soul was already shivering in fear, and based on the speed of the beam it wouldn't even take up to a second to reach him.
But suddenly the towering phantom behind him moved.
In the blink of an eye the nine coloured divine dragon arrived before the beam, with the buff of the absolute beginning chaos, it opened it's huge mouth showcasing the abyssal vortex within, with a huge bite the soul destroying beam disappeared, instantly Jin long felt a tremor from deep within his soul, followed by a relaxing feeling.
Grunt!.
Jin long's face instantly flushed red, his was suppressing the feeling so as not to moan loudly.
After a while the feeling subsided and a flow of information instantly rushed into his head.
"World devouring sacred skill: the user will be granted the ability to devour all things in existence!, at it's peak it could even devour the universe!!."
