Over Five Thousand

The left-most digit made a maddening shift as the speed of the tens and hundreds slowly followed.

They all gawked as their words stuck in their throats. Their eyes reflected the number that keep on increasing as they held their breath away. Goosebumps rose as disbelieve basked Afurnae. No cultivators in heaven could have prepared for the result.

The number had stopped before one of the participants fell back on their butt. He didn't any pain from the impact but his eyes were opened wide. He couldn't blink as he felt a cold string on his spine crawling.

Hilde was the first one to blink her eyes. She slowly closed her gaped mouth before making a harsh swallow. Her eyes went back and forth from the number to the young man.

The kings stood up from their seats with disbelief in their eyes. The number was unprecedented, not to mention coming from a mortal cultivator.
