790: Chapters 554-555 Thunderbolt Strike

The next morning, under Xin Yun’s arrangement, ten warriors of the Death Legion left the inn, heading to draw lots.

Unfortunately, none of the ten teammates drew the lot corresponding to Peak Seven, where the holder of the Gathering Clouds Banner was located.

However, this didn’t matter, as Xin Yun immediately sent out another ten Death Legion warriors, who successfully drew the lot to face the challenge on Peak Seven!

After obtaining the lot that led to Peak Seven, Xin Yun wasted no words.

Clutching the lot, he rushed straight toward Peak Seven.

No matter what, he had to get the Gathering Clouds Banner today!

Although he had already obtained the lot, it was clear that…

based on the sequence number on the lot, Xin Yun was not the first one to fight today.

Instead, he was ranked third.

Using this opportunity, Xin Yun could observe his upcoming opponents carefully.

The Diamond Tournament had very few restrictions.

As long as participants didn’t leave the designated area and defeated their opponents within the set time, everything was okay, even the life and death of the competitors wasn’t guaranteed!

The freedom granted was beyond most people’s imagination.

Simply put, there were no referees in this competition, just the organizers.

Once you reach the summit, you could start the battle at any time.

Even if the opponent conceded defeat, you could continue attacking until you killed them.

Even escaping from the competition area would be useless.

One must remember, the Diamond Tournament was a contest for ranking the masters.

The organizers only established a relatively fair environment, and everything else was left to the competitors to resolve.

Finally, one had to mention the items possessed by the competitors.

Once you defeated an opponent, you could take anything, not just their belongings but even their lives, if you were able to.

No one would stop you, and if anyone tried, you could just blast them to smithereens.

Standing on the outskirts of the competition area, Xin Yun silently watched the battles unfolding on the mountain top.

When Xin Yun arrived, the second match of the day had already started.

At that moment…

the entire peak was entirely covered by dark clouds, and even Xin Yun’s sight could not penetrate the darkness within the clouds!

Seeing this scene, Xin Yun couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The Gathering Clouds Banner was by no means ordinary.

It created a layer of pitch-black clouds that blocked vision, mental, and soul scanning.

Any kind of detection, once in contact with the clouds, was quickly devoured and dispersed, unable to penetrate deeply.

Think about it, how terrifying that was!

Once you were inside the clouds, it was like being in darkness; blind, seeing nothing, even sounds couldn’t travel through, after all…

sound waves were also a form of detection, and they too were blocked.

Once the sound waves entered, they were quickly absorbed.

It could be said that these dark clouds blocked all senses.

Even if an enemy was right beside you, it would be difficult to detect their presence.

How could you fight an opponent under such conditions?

“Wow!

Boom…” While Xin Yun was deep in thought, following a pitiful wail, a thunderous roar erupted from the top of Peak Seven.

The massive cloud cluster violently tumbled for a while before calming down again.

“This…” Witnessing this scene, Xin Yun’s expression changed dramatically.

From the situation just now, someone must have triggered a self-destruct; otherwise, that wail could not have made it through.

Moreover…

that wail must have come from the person with the Gathering Clouds Banner.

The one who self-destructed no longer had a chance to let their voice be heard.

With a thought flickering in his mind, Xin Yun couldn’t help but smile.

The Diamond Tournament was quite interesting.

Once you joined the competition, you had to fight consecutively for ten matches.

Leaving midway meant defeat, and all records would have to be accumulated again.

Only by enduring ten matches could the record be carried forward and the fight resumed on a different date.

And now, that person with the Gathering Clouds Banner had fought only two battles.

Unless he gave up now, Xin Yun would face him soon.

After the dark cloud churned for a while, it gradually returned to calmness.

Complete silence descended onto Peak Seven, with only the rolling black clouds remaining ethereal and fluctuating.

After each match, there was a half-hour break for recovery or treatment.

Then, the following half hour demanded the immediate onset of the next battle.

This was the rule, and no one could break it, otherwise they would lose qualification.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally…

half an hour ticked away.

Simultaneously…

the tournament’s organizer gestured to Xin Yun, indicating that he could now enter Peak Seven and join the competition.

Taking one last look at the dense black clouds in the sky, Xin Yun took a deep breath.

With a whoosh behind him, a pair of wings that served as a testament to his skills instantly unfolded, lifting Xin Yun into the air, straight towards the dense black clouds that shrouded the summit.

“Zz…” The next moment…

Xin Yun plunged into the black clouds like a bullet.

As soon as he penetrated the cloud, a slight sound resonated around his body.

“What!” Suddenly stopping at the edge of the dark clouds, Xin Yun’s face was overtaken by shock!

Looking around, it was pitch-black everywhere.

Light could not penetrate into the black clouds, and all light would be completely devoured within ten meters of entering.

What exactly were these clouds?

What terrified Xin Yun the most was that the dense black clouds had a voracious ability to devour.

As soon as he entered, the diamond barrier around his body suffered severe corrosion.

Amid the hissing sounds, grey smoke rose from the diamond barrier.

At this rate, the entire barrier would be completely devoured before long.
