Faced with a two-on-one situation, and considering their opponent was merely a Sixth-Layer Golden Core Cultivator, Zhouyang and Jiang Fengxian certainly had no reason to fail.
Moreover, since the other party was the first to strike, Zhouyang's original intention to spare his life need not be implemented. He used the "Soul Capturing Treasure Pearl" to confuse his Divine Soul, and then Jiang Fengxian decapitated him with a single sword stroke.
With this, all five slots were determined.
Subsequently, no unexpected events occurred. Zhouyang and his companion, ranked fourth and fifth, did not antagonize anyone else and waited patiently until the three ahead of them reached the peak before ascending together.
As the five of them successfully reached the peak and stood before the door of the black palace, the black-robed figure, who had been at the foot of the mountain, suddenly emerged from the open door.
"The [Holy Infant Fruit] is ready. You five may enter and pick it!"
