Three hours passed, and more cultivators arrived, some human and some from the Abyssal Demon Race. Most of them were at around the 7th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, and a few had reached the 8th. Almost no weaker cultivators survived long enough to reach the final trial.
Eventually, Xi Cangming appeared again and swept his gaze over everyone.
"The time has come."
The hall went silent.
"The final trial of the Abyss God Road begins now."
Several cultivators straightened up as Xi Cangming went on.
"This trial will take place in the Voidstone Battle Realm. Your physical bodies will stay here, while your souls enter the Voidstone Battle Realm. Inside, each of you will control a battle statue."
The crowd grew more attentive.
"You will fight, you will kill, and you will survive," Xi Cangming said with an indifferent expression. "The trial ends when only ten participants remain."
