Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 753 - 705 What situation!
Boom!
It happened in the blink of an eye; the Fire Qilin instantly charged to Nie Feng's side.
Nie Feng had just managed to release his Divine Power when he felt a strong force fling him aside, and he was transported out of the combat area amid a divine light.
Eliminated!
It took only one move.
The Fire Qilin had defeated Nie Feng.
Thankfully, it was just an assessment. If it were a real fight, it would mean Nie Feng had been instantly killed by the Fire Qilin.
Nie Feng didn't even have time to discern the Fire Qilin's moves and realm!
Seeing that he had been transported out of the combat area and eliminated, Nie Feng's face turned ashen.

He finally realized the gap between himself and a powerful God King Level Divine Beast; even though he performed well in the assessment of the nine Divine Institutes, he was still far from being a true powerhouse!
"Nie Feng fails, proceed to the Selected Zone for the defeated, and after the 'Qualification Assessment' is over, you'll be assigned to one of the nine Divine Institutes."
The six-star Venerable overseeing the assessment glanced indifferently at Nie Feng and, with a flick of his finger, transported Nie Feng to the nearby elimination area.
Then, the six-star Venerable turned his attention to another True God: "Next up for the assessment, ranking eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, from the Divine Kingdom's Northern Region, Feng Yuan."
Whirr!
Nie Feng's instant defeat changed the expressions of the numerous True Gods who had not yet taken part in the assessment.
They hadn't anticipated that the Fire Qilin would be even more formidable than they imagined!
And this was only the first of the Divine Beasts; not only did they have to contend with the Fire Qilin, but they also faced the subsequent challenge of three other Qilins.
Following Nie Feng in the assessment lineup, the one ranked eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, Feng Yuan, a Female True God clad in white Soft Divine Armor, was visibly trembling with nervousness.
In the end, she had to muster her courage to focus her eyes on the Fire Qilin she was about to battle.
Upon being teleported into the combat area, Feng Yuan quickly drew a golden Divine Spear.
This Female True God, Feng Yuan, appeared petite but wielded a Divine Spear Weapon.
Moreover, this Divine Spear Weapon was an extraordinary and supreme Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact!
"It seems that this Feng Yuan has quite the background. Many Heavenly Divine Venerables aren't even willing to equip their True God descendants with supreme Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts,"
Onlookers discussed among themselves as they watched Feng Yuan draw her Divine Spear.
Outside the assessment area, among the countless martial artists observing the nine Divine Institutes' assessment, an Immortal Divine Venerable grew a little nervous when he saw Feng Yuan preparing for her assessment.
"Yuan'er is still young. Her ranking is low because she faced some setbacks while comprehending the 'Bloodlight Blade Technique.' However, her combat strength is still formidable. Even if she doesn't manage to withstand the four Qilin Divine Beasts, she ought to perform well," he said.
While the Immortal Divine Venerable's thoughts churned, inside the assessment grounds, the Fire Qilin in the combat area had already charged straight at Feng Yuan.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Feng Yuan's figure vanished into thin air, and in the next moment, she reappeared above the Fire Qilin's head.
Then, the Female True God pinched a spell with her hands, and her golden spear suddenly expanded, transforming into a colossus spanning ten thousand meters.
Next, the heaven-reaching Divine Spear turned sharply and stabbed straight at the Fire Qilin!
Feng Yuan was not only extremely swift, but her combat skills were also incredibly formidable!
Roar!
Seeing Feng Yuan disappear, the Fire Qilin's colossal body didn't stop for an instant, rotating to face the incoming spear thrust head-on.
The Fire Qilin exhaled a breath of flames, blocking the thrust from the Sky-shocking Longspear outright.
When her first attack failed, Feng Yuan's expression changed as she pinched her fair hand, and the golden spear split into two and then four, quickly multiplying into countless spears.
Then, like a torrential sword rain from the heavens, they all plummeted down, targeting the massive Fire Qilin below.
At this moment, the Fire Qilin let out a heavenward roar and chose not to breathe out flames to block the spears. Instead, its body shook violently, lighting up the divine glyphs that adorned it. The Fire Qilin directly met the rain of spears, and eventually charged through, closing in on Feng Yuan.
Bang!
With a flick of its colossal paw, the Fire Qilin flung Feng Yuan away at an unbelievable speed.
The next moment, Feng Yuan was eliminated from the competition!
Even after withstanding several moves, Feng Yuan was still eliminated!
Whirr!
Seeing Feng Yuan's elimination caused many to sigh out loud.
While watching Feng Yuan's defeat, Ye Chen softly shook his head: "This Female True God, a pity she couldn't fully activate the supreme Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact spear in her possession; otherwise, she needn't have feared this Fire Qilin."
"Nevertheless, her performance was quite remarkable, and given her youthful appearance, she should garner interest from the Divine Institutes."
As Ye Chen reflected, in the external area for Divine Institute elders, a female elder from the Tai Qing Divine Institute turned her gaze toward Feng Yuan's elder, the Immortal Divine Venerable, not far away.
"The descendant of Heavenly Divine Venerable seems fairly talented for her age. Her performance was decent enough, and considering she wishes to join the Tai Qing Divine Institute, let's give her a chance to cultivate there this time," she murmured to herself.
Defeated, Feng Yuan, weak-kneed, was eliminated from the combat area.
But she didn't know that an elder from one of the nine great Divine Institutes had taken notice of her and that she had an opportunity to enter the institute of her choice.
The assessment continued.
Next, the more than eight thousand candidates took turns to battle against the four Divine Beast Qilins.
The previous rankings, which generally reflected the combat power of the candidates, mostly meant that stronger candidates competed later.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Some True Gods who had made minor mistakes earlier and were ranked lower shone in this final "Institute Selection Qualifier," with a few ranked within two or three thousand managing to break through.
Although their progress was difficult, since they passed the qualifier, they had the privilege of choosing their desired Divine Institutes, which naturally excited them greatly!
However, such exceptions were few.
By the time eight thousand nine hundred and ninety candidates had competed, only leaving ten left, only just over two hundred had passed through the "Institute Selection Qualifier."
This highlighted the difficulty of defeating the four Divine Beast Qilins.
After more than eight thousand battles, everyone could see that the Fire Qilin, Wind Qilin, and Water Qilin were all of Lower God King Level. Meanwhile, the Thunder Kirin was of the Middle God King Level.
Even though the Thunder Kirin's abilities were heavily restricted, its lightning attributes sometimes made it stronger than many other Middle God King level beasts.
Many who defeated the Thunder Kirin and passed the "Institute Selection Qualifier" did so because their spells were specially tailored to counter it.
As for the Little Provincial Princess who previously ranked twenty-sixth, her performance was also remarkably eye-catching.
Being the daughter of the glorious Eight-Star Venerable, the East Territory King, she naturally drew countless gazes!
Even the elders of the nine great Divine Institutes were considering that they would open their doors wide for the Little Provincial Princess, should she wish to choose their institute.
Still quite young and only at the Three Tribulations True God level, the Little Provincial Princess could not confront the four Divine Beast Qilins, even though her profound comprehension of the "Bloodlight Blade Technique" earned her high assessment points and a high ranking.
Even though she couldn't defeat the Qilins, her performance in movement and combat techniques during the battle amazed many onlookers.
They knew they couldn't have achieved this at the Three Tribulations True God level!
In the end, though the Little Provincial Princess was defeated, everyone knew she would definitely be admitted to the Supreme Divine Institute.
That's because the Six-Star Venerable overseeing the assessments from the nine Divine Institutes had personally invited her to cultivate at the Supreme Divine Institute as soon as she finished her assessment.
After glancing at Ye Chen and seeing him nod in approval of her performance, she giggled and announced her choice.
She wanted to join the Supreme Divine Institute—the same one Ye Chen was joining!
Lastly, the most eye-catching battles were those of the top ten ranked candidates against the four Divine Beast Qilins.
After all, those capable of entering the top ten were truly among the supreme elite within tens of millions of candidates!
Moreover, all of them were at the Nine Tribulations True God level—even Ye Chen, who had originally been at the Eight Tribulations level, had broken through to the Nine Tribulations True God level during the earlier rounds.
The battles of all ten Nine Tribulations True Gods against the four Divine King Level Qilins were the center of attention for countless onlookers.
It seemed as though these top ten understood that the elders from the nine great Divine Institutes were watching, as each showcased their strongest abilities, vying to outperform the others against the Qilins.
As the assessments proceeded, the audience was astonished to find that starting from the tenth place, these top contenders truly had the capability to battle across realms against Divine King level beasts—and they did so with ease!
The fourth-ranked Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan each only used one technique to defeat the first three Qilins and three techniques to easily defeat the last Thunder Kirin.
The reason was that in this assessment, reaching the objective was sufficient, and the assessment points were not a factor.
Otherwise, many speculated that none of the four Qilins taken together might match even a single move from Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan!
But when the assessment reached the penultimate candidate, Ye Chen, who was second in ranking, not only did the on-site candidates hold their breath in anticipation.
Even the Venerables who had shown scant interest in this round of "Institute Selection Qualifiers" sat up attentively.
Ye Chen had shown exceptional performance in the previous rounds, was connected with the East Territory King, Northern Territory King, and Sovereign Xuechen, and had even provoked the Divine Dragon Mountain Sect Master, Qin Yuntian. His assessment was naturally a focus for countless onlookers!
Although it was known that Ye Chen would definitely make it through this round.
Still, many were eager to see how he would overcome the opposition of the four Divine Beasts.
What followed in Ye Chen's challenge left everyone utterly astonished and feeling it was beyond belief!
As soon as Ye Chen entered the Fire Qilin's battle area, the beast, which had been ferociously aggressive toward all candidates and seething with killing intent even in defeat, instantly prostrated itself before Ye Chen and became as docile as a kitten.
It willingly activated the combat token to signify its own loss and obediently cleared a path to the next battle ring for Ye Chen!
As Ye Chen entered the battle areas of the subsequent three Qilins, without exception, not even the strongest Thunder Kirin dared to engage with him.
They forfeited the fight without contesting!
This scene shocked countless spectators into wondering, "What's going on?!"
Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan almost popped their eyes out; the four Qilins had fought them ferociously, almost as if they wanted to tear them apart, yet they behaved submissively like pets in front of Ye Chen.
The disparity was simply too huge!
