 **Chapter 2766: Should Be Eliminated**

A mere Heavenly Sovereign, who was just a follower, was now keeping pace with the top-ranked prodigy in the first round of the Prodigy Gathering.

Such an event had never occurred in the history of the Prodigy Gathering and was akin to a miracle.

Not everyone was envious of Lin Moyu; many had already begun to idolize him. To them, Lin Moyu, who was chasing the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus, was like a Heavenly Sovereign defeating Dao Sovereigns. Many eyes were filled with excitement, "Surpass her."

"Surpass her and take first place. Show her that we Heavenly Sovereigns are not necessarily inferior."

"Brother, hold on. You must surpass her. I believe you can do it."

Many people cheered for Lin Moyu, but unfortunately, their voices couldn't reach him.

Lin Moyu was unaware of this; he was simply comprehending the Great Dao.

His soul power was being rapidly consumed. If he were an ordinary first-realm Heavenly Sovereign, his soul power would have been exhausted by now.

Fortunately, he had the World Tree behind him, continuously replenishing his soul power.

As the third round was about to end, Lin Moyu's soul power was still at its peak.

The silver tree sap was playing a significant role, allowing Lin Moyu's comprehension speed to surpass everyone else's.

Finally, as the third round ended, Lin Moyu had caught up with the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus, and they were neck and neck, with Lu Fengyao close behind.

The thirtieth minute marked the beginning of a new round.

The Great Dao evolved by Senior Xiahhou underwent a qualitative change at this moment.

The pressure doubled instantly, causing everyone still floating in the air to descend.

The sound of people falling into the water echoed continuously as those who had barely managed to hold on to the fourth round fell into the lake one by one.

Fewer and fewer people remained in the air.

When the last person fell into the water, a force suddenly lifted them, chair and all, back to their original position, preventing them from becoming soaked.

Although they were still eliminated, not becoming soaked was a significant difference.

They were honorably retreating, not disgracefully failing.

The top ten received different treatment, returning with honor.

However, their fate no longer mattered. Apart from their few followers, almost no one paid attention to them.

Everyone present, including the prodigies in the lake, focused on the few remaining in the air.

Only five people remained in the air.

Lin Moyu and the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus were neck and neck, with Lu Fengyao just a step behind.

These three formed the first tier.

The other two were Dongfang Wuwen, the heir of the Dongfang family from Broken Sky Cliff, and the Holy Son of the Myriad Scenery Holy Land, Tian Huan.

Both were at the second realm of Dao Sovereign. Dongfang Wuwen had originally been seated at the rightmost position, just below the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus.

The Holy Son of the Myriad Scenery Holy Land's position was slightly lower, but his performance in this gathering was exceptional, placing him in the top five.

Had it not been for Lin Moyu, he would have been in the top four.

The two were only three meters above the water surface, and at their current descending speed, they were unlikely to last this round.

Compared to the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus and the other two, they were a tier below.

Logically, all five deserved attention as the most outstanding prodigies of their generation.

However, most eyes were now on Lin Moyu.

This Heavenly Sovereign was creating a legend.

In the fourth round, the pressure from the Great Dao doubled, and the sound of the Great Dao became even more obscure.

Comprehending the subsequent secret techniques became increasingly difficult.

Everyone was descending, and the speed was faster than before.

At the thirty-second minute, Dongfang Wuwen and the Holy Son of the Myriad Scenery Holy Land fell into the water almost simultaneously.

As they fell, a force lifted them back to their original seats.

They woke up and instinctively looked at each other, feeling a sense of mutual understanding.

They also saw the three remaining in the air, and their smiles disappeared.

Lin Moyu, the Heavenly Sovereign, was enveloped in divine light, standing like a miracle.

The Holy Son of the Myriad Scenery Holy Land's pupils contracted. He couldn't believe he had been defeated by a Heavenly Sovereign.

Dongfang Wuwen's reaction was similar. Why Lin Moyu was there no longer mattered.

What mattered was that Lin Moyu was there and had surpassed them.

At the thirty-third minute, Lin Moyu suddenly stopped descending.

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus and Lu Fengyao were still descending, and in an instant, Lin Moyu overtook them, truly taking first place.

"He comprehended it!"

"He comprehended it again!"

"Why? How can he keep comprehending?"

"We're all human. Why is there such a gap in comprehension?"

Everyone's mouths were agape, eyes fixed on Lin Moyu.

Especially the eliminated prodigies, who looked at each other in disbelief.

In the first round of the Prodigy Gathering, during the fourth round, at the thirty-third minute, Lin Moyu, a Heavenly Sovereign, surpassed all the Dao Sovereign prodigies to take first place. This moment was worth recording. Lin Moyu had created a new history.

Countless people would remember that there was once a Heavenly Sovereign who surpassed all the prodigies of his era.

Not only were the prodigies dumbfounded, but the Dao Sovereigns were also speechless.

In a mysterious place, the Third Ancestor slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "Lin, you did it! You really did it!"

"This time, countless people will remember you. You'll be famous across the entire Origin Continent."

"If you get the title of the strongest prodigy, I'll become your sworn brother."

Lu Lian's voice interrupted, "Third Ancestor, please maintain your dignity."

The Third Ancestor retorted, "Dignity be damned. This kid has limitless potential. He might even help me in the future."

Lu Lian sighed, "What if he dies?"

The Third Ancestor replied, "He won't die. I can tell. Look at what he's done since arriving on the Origin Continent. Such a troublemaker won't die easily."

Lu Lian sighed again, feeling speechless.

The Third Ancestor, in his excitement, was acting without restraint.

At the thirty-fourth minute, Lin Moyu had already surpassed the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus and Lu Fengyao by half a body length, almost a meter.

At the thirty-fifth minute, he was a full body length ahead, leading by a wide margin.

At this moment, Lin Moyu began to rise again, widening the gap further.

Simultaneously, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus finally stopped descending and stabilized in the air.

Her delicate face flushed slightly, a sign of soul power consumption.

"Finally stabilized!"

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus exhaled and opened her beautiful eyes, looking around.

She saw that only Lu Fengyao remained in front of her; everyone else had disappeared.

"That Heavenly Sovereign is gone!"

"He must have been eliminated."

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus breathed a sigh of relief. Losing to a Heavenly Sovereign would have been too embarrassing.

Instinctively, she looked down. Most people were in the lake, with a few prodigies at the edge.

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus sensed something was wrong. Why were their gazes directed upwards, higher than her?

"No way..."

A bad thought crossed her mind, and she looked up.

A chair, with a Heavenly Sovereign enveloped in divine light, was two meters above her head.

At that moment, the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus felt a sense of collapse.

She had thought he was eliminated, but he had already surpassed her.

From a young age, she had been adored and cultivated by the Ancient Lotus Holy Land, but this was the first time she had been so defeated.

It wasn't that she couldn't accept losing; she had lost to the Holy Son of the Myriad Scenery Holy Land a thousand years ago.

That was because her realm was lower, two realms apart, making the difference in strength significant.

But now, she had lost to a Heavenly Sovereign. What was this?

The Holy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus felt a sense of defeat.
