Chapter 1792: Chapter 1784: Battle Against Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Tailong

"If it were you going on stage, I would dress you up too," Huang Xiaolong said to Fang Xuanxuan.

The originally angry and somewhat jealous Fang Xuanxuan was stunned upon hearing this, then her face blushed as she pouted, "That’s more like it."

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but smile wryly.

While everyone was shocked, staring at Peng Xiao on platform number twelve, clad in the Black Dragon Divine Armor, Han Qing’s face was very unsightly, her eyes filled with both greed and resentment.

She coveted the Black Dragon Divine Armor, yet resented how Peng Xiao could possess such a top-grade Primordial Spirit Artifacts-level Ancient Divine Armor!

With the Black Dragon Divine Armor, Peng Xiao was already in an unbeatable position. No matter how strong Wu Yanxi was, he couldn’t crack the defense of the Black Dragon Divine Armor. The blow just now showed how powerful the armor’s defense was.

Top-grade Primordial Spirit Artifacts-level Ancient Divine Armor!

Even if the Primordial Emperor Palace owned one, it would be considered a treasure of the sect.

While everyone was in shock, greed, and heat, Peng Xiao let out a delicate shout, leaping into the air as a long sword appeared in her hand, slashing fiercely at Wu Yanxi.

The powerful defense of the Black Dragon Divine Armor filled her with confidence, allowing her to attack without reservation.

Sword slashes erupted.

Dragon roars and phoenix cry.

Within the nine dragons of the Black Dragon, a purple phoenix weaved.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Peng Xiao on stage, more precisely, at the Black Dragon Divine Armor.

Due to the rarity of top-grade Primordial Spirit Artifacts-level armor, the Black Dragon Divine Armor, even if it’s not a Primordial Treasure, its value is not far behind.

The Heavenly Son Di Jing, standing beside Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, was also fixated on the Black Dragon Divine Armor. Even he, possessing the Heavenly Dao Divine Body, couldn’t help but be tempted.

Inside the Heavenly Platform Secret Realm, he had encountered an Emperor Realm Sky Demon, imprisoned in a valley. At that time, he wanted to enter the valley to slay the demon, but had doubts. After all, even with his Heavenly Dao Divine Body, slaying an Emperor Realm Sky Demon would severely wound him—and gravely so.

Thus, he eventually gave up, choosing not to enter the valley.

But if he had the Black Dragon Divine Armor, it would be different.

With the Black Dragon Divine Armor, coupled with his Heavenly Dao Divine Body, he wouldn’t have to worry about being wounded by the Emperor Realm Sky Demon.

The Heavenly Son Di Jing took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

Black Dragon Divine Armor!

He clenched his fists.

Amidst everyone’s focused gaze, over an hour quickly passed. Ultimately, Peng Xiao narrowly defeated Wu Yanxi of the Primordial Emperor Palace, knocking the opponent off the platform with the help of the Black Dragon Divine Armor.

Under the eyes of the crowd, Peng Xiao returned to platform sixty-one.

"Thank you," Peng Xiao said as she returned to Huang Xiaolong’s side, revealing a smile.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the fatigued Peng Xiao and shook his head, then took out a Great Buddha Relic Pill for Peng Xiao to consume.

After swallowing the Great Buddha Relic Pill, Peng Xiao’s previously pale complexion improved significantly. Although she won the battle with the Black Dragon Divine Armor, defeating Wu Yanxi had taken a toll on her.

Nonetheless, after this battle, she managed to squeeze into the top five thousand.

If she wins one more battle, she can enter the top three thousand!

The top three thousand is her goal for this Heavenly Court tournament, so she must win the next platform battle.

...

Several hours later, Peng Xiao walked off the platform with an extremely pale face.

Although she won the battle for the three thousandth spot, during the fight for the fifteen hundredth spot, she encountered a Second Rank Middle Stage Peak disciple from the Evil God Emperor Palace and ultimately lost on the platform.

Fang Xuanxuan stepped forward to support Peng Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, are you all right?"

Despite her pale face, Peng Xiao smiled, "I’m fine."

Though she lost this battle, she was satisfied having reached the top three thousand. Even though she was a Supreme Genius, her cultivation time was relatively short. Making it into the top three thousand of this Heavenly Court tournament with her Peak of Stage Ten Late Stage God King strength was already drawing the attention of billions.

The platform battle continued.

Round after round ensued.

Finally, after eliminating ninety contestants, plus the top ten from Huang Xiaolong’s preliminary round, the list of the top hundred for this Heavenly Court tournament semifinal was announced.

The top hundred contestants were mainly occupied by disciples from the top ten Emperor Palaces and ancient secluded families like the Swordless Sect and Purple Flame Sword Sect.

Of course, there were exceptions, like Huang Xiaolong and Long Shaozhen from the True God Sect.

Besides Huang Xiaolong and Long Shaozhen, a few Emperor’s sons from various Emperor Palaces also entered the top hundred.

Naturally, if Gudu Canyang hadn’t been killed by Huang Xiaolong in the preliminary round, he would have made it to the top hundred too.

"Now, please step forward to draw your contestant numbers," Heavenly Court Marshal Yu Shi announced loudly from the podium.

Huang Xiaolong stepped forward.

Finally, it was about to begin!

He had awaited this moment to come.

As Huang Xiaolong stepped forward, Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Talong, Evil God Emperor’s Son Feng Shan, and Li Junhua of the Primordial Emperor Palace simultaneously stepped forward, heading towards the podium to draw numbers with Huang Xiaolong.

The Heavenly Son Di Jing and the other two Heavenly Court princes who made it into the top hundred also suddenly stood up.

As the group approached the podium, invisible currents clashed in the space around them.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Heavenly Son Di Jing, Huang Xiaolong, Lan Talong, Feng Shan, Li Junhua, and Long Shaozhen.

"I wonder who Heavenly Son Di Jing and Huang Xiaolong’s first opponents in the top hundred will be? It would be thrilling if they both drew the same number!"

"Thrilling indeed! No one has ever seen Heavenly Son Di Jing make a move. Strong men from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have longed to witness this battle. Moreover, with Huang Xiaolong being the first in the preliminary round, it stirs endless speculation. A fight between Heavenly Son Di Jing and him would surely be a battle of the ages!"

"Huang Xiaolong merely secured first place in the preliminary round. How can he compare to Heavenly Son Di Jing? I foresee that on the platform, he would struggle to withstand even a single palm from Heavenly Son Di Jing!"

"Over the past month, all of the Divine World has been discussing Huang Xiaolong. Even numerous dignitaries from the other four Great Realms are paying attention to Huang Xiaolong. Many are optimistic about Huang Xiaolong, some even believe he will ultimately become a Supreme Sovereign, surpassing the Great Emperor. But if he dies from a single palm from Heavenly Son Di Jing on the platform, it would be a joke!"

Amidst all the discussions, the number Huang Xiaolong drew was soon revealed.

Number six!

"Huang Xiaolong is number six, I wonder who drew number six?!" The crowd looked around.

Just then, Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Talong turned over his contest number, revealing a conspicuous number six to the spectators.

"It’s Bright Emperor’s Son! Bright Emperor’s Son is number six!" someone shouted.

Immediately, a wave of intense commotion erupted.

Although Huang Xiaolong’s first opponent was not Heavenly Son Di Jing, facing Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Talong also excited everyone.

In everyone’s eyes, this was another fierce battle between dragons and tigers!
