This so-called battle for survival was to gauge the abilities of the candidates to hold on until the final moment. Moreover, there was no time limit for this challenge. In other words, the battle would not end until the winners filled in the corresponding slots. However, the high-grade Spiritual Emperors did not feel the need to make the first move since they were powerful enough to endure the attacks hurled at them.
Therefore, it was safe to say that the strong ones had the absolute advantage while the weaker ones would be forced to struggle and double their efforts.
At the end of this round, only fifteen candidates would remain. Ten of those slots would easily be obtained by the high-grade Spiritual Emperors. Hence, the rest of the low-grade and middle-grade Spiritual Emperors would have to fight all-out just to secure the five remaining spots.
The survival battle had the same setup as the previous round that was held in the Holy Heaven Palace, and the candidates were not restricted to form alliances. Thus, in order to make sure that they would survive this battle, it was inevitable for the candidates, especially for the weaker ones, to be in groups to have a chance of taking down the stronger ones.
However, this was also a bit tricky since everyone was aware that even the ones they were allied with might betray them in the end just to acquire the spot for the next round. Therefore, everyone was careful in choosing their partners and had already made some backup plans. Moreover, they could not reveal all their tricks and strength in this round, because they would lose the upper hand in the next one.
But of course, everyone's priority right now was to get to the next round. Once a critical moment emerged, they would be forced to use all tactics that they were keeping.
Soon enough, the first day of the survival battle ended, and ten candidates were eliminated right away. Almost all of them were low-grade Spiritual Emperors.
Then, three days passed in a flash. The battle became even fiercer, and more than half of the candidates had been eliminated. At this point, only thirty Spiritual Emperors were left, meaning that half of them still needed to be taken down before the battle ended. Besides the ten high-grade Spiritual Emperors, some of the notable low-grade Spiritual Emperors that still remained were Michelle, Seth, Eunice, and Carla. Of course, needless to say, the Godly Geniuses were still in the battle.
It was not surprising that Michelle was still left standing. With her beauty and appeal, many men would willingly risk their lives to protect her.
As for Seth, the remaining Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race also supported him with all their might.
On the other hand, Eunice, Carla, Valeria, and Lilith actually formed an alliance to make sure that at least some of them could reach the final round. Moreover, it was also part of the plan that Gloria would assist them indirectly.
Quentin and Drew, who were disguised as middle-grade Spiritual Emperors, were also doing well to fend off for themselves.
But since the Godly Geniuses did not trust other candidates, in order to qualify to the last round, they had to fight alone and display their full strength. Ideally, they already wanted to eliminate as many Godly Geniuses in this round so that the next one would be much easier for them.
At the same time, behind it all, Rocky was also manipulating the survival battle without really physically participating in it.
Eventually, three days passed again.
Finally, the fierce survival battle had come to an end. After the thrilling competition, as expected, the ten high-grade Spiritual Emperors, including Israel, obtained the slots for the final round.
Among the remaining five spots, four of them were filled in by the other Godly Geniuses—Valeria, Gloria, Quentin, and Drew.
For the last spot, surprisingly, one of the disguised Godly Geniuses was defeated by a human Spiritual Emperor, who showed such an amazing performance. This was none other than Lilith.
