Chapter 541 469: The Fight Begins

"Fenji is also infinitely close to becoming a Great Emperor!"

Amidst the gasps of shock.

BOOM!

A Three-Colored Divine Fire incinerated spacetime and all of creation.

It wove together to form a lotus of Three-Colored Divine Fire. Deep within the Fire Domain, a place of creation and annihilation, sat a hazy figure—the Fire Emperor Dominator!

Fenji, third on the Emperor's List!

The most low-key and mysterious successor of the Fire-Raising Sect, under the Common Lord of Heaven-Burning Fire in All Heavens!

"The technique Fenji cultivates is the Burning Dao Scripture, which the Fire-Raising Sect imprinted from the Dao Artifact, the Dao Burning Furnace. It burns Essence, Qi, and Spirit with three flowers and three fires, making it the number one sequence of the Fire Path!"

"The Dao Burning Furnace is composed of three Divine Furnaces—the Immortal Burning Furnace, the Burning Chaos Furnace, and the God-Burning Furnace—which correspond to Essence, Qi, and Spirit. It's said that during the Late Stage of the Second Tribulation, the Dao Burning Furnace lost the Burning Chaos Furnace in the final great war..."

"Shh, quiet down! That's the Fire-Raising Sect's greatest shame, a sore spot you don't touch. Do you have a death wish?"

The appearance of the Light and Dark Divine Venerable and Fenji.

caused a huge sensation in the Seventh Celestial Gate. After them, a continuous stream of top-ranked Celestial Prides from the Emperor's List also emerged.

The fourth-ranked Nine Tribulations Sword Master.

He was said to be the inheritor of the lineage that created Nine Tribulation Celestial Soldiers, one of the Ten Great Supreme Divine Techniques. This Strongest Divine Technique uses the Military Dao to control the perilous path of tribulation and calamity, and its killing power is unrivaled among the Ten Great Supreme Divine Techniques!

(The Hongyuan Ten Great Strongest Divine Techniques: Chaos Divine Fist, Profound Celestial Infinite Seal, Great Silence of All Heavens, Taichu True Words, Mixed Lotus Extreme Path, Exquisite Method, Original Soldier Resolution, Nine Tribulation Celestial Soldiers, All Heaven Great Escape, and Six Paths of Reincarnation)

The fifth-ranked Chaos Child.

He came from the Fu Guang Co-Prince's Chaos City. He inherited the Chaos Divine Fist and also had a connection to the Dao Artifact, Chaos City.

The sixth-ranked Profound Yellow Lady.

Her origins were in the Profound Yellow World. She was somewhat special, not belonging to the Rising Dragon Celestial Dynasty. It was said that she received the grace of the Profound Yellow Mother Tree when she was weak.

The seventh...

As the Great Dao Divine Sound War Drum sounded, more and more monstrously talented top Celestial Prides emerged from the Seventh Celestial Gate. Along the way, second-tier Celestial Prides also joined them, all rushing toward the arena.

"The Son of Taihuang Heaven, a Direct Disciple of the Supreme Emperor Celestial Venerable, and the Thick Earth Heavenly Maiden…"

"Yin-Yang Zi from the Star God Hall, the biological child of the two Star Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang! After years of silence, they've actually cultivated to a near-Emperor level to join the battle."

"Xuan Xin from the Infinite Daoist Palace…"

After the top-ranked Celestial Prides on the Emperor's List, a group of top Celestial Prides who had been hidden away and nurtured by All Heavens also appeared.

They were backed by Common Lords.

They began to improve by leaps and bounds three years ago.

With an endless supply of Five Tribulations Dao Source, they achieved the Quasi-Emperor realm. Aside from their battle records and achievements, many were no weaker than the Celestial Prides at the top of the Emperor's List.

"Damn that Divine Desolate Tribulation Demon!"

Among the many Great Emperors watching the battle from the Seventh Celestial Gate, quite a few who held grudges against Wu Dao watched their disciples shine. While proud, they cursed Wu Dao in their hearts for being so inhuman.

Because, if Su Chen and Ye Xuan hadn't died, and had entered Shanhai Pass three years ago when the Great Dao bestowed its fortune, they too would most likely be shining brilliantly today, destined to carry the Celestial Mandate in the future.

Unfortunately, a person's death is like a lamp going out.

Su Chen, the first to die, probably has grass growing several feet high on his cenotaph by now!

As for the more recent Long Chen, his fate was even more tragic.

He couldn't even rest in peace after death. Many cultivators in All Heavens still believed Long Chen was a human traitor, and they would spit on the ground every time his name was mentioned.

DONG DONG DONG—

The Great Dao Divine Sound War Drum continued to boom.

The Seventh Celestial Gate, the Sixth Celestial Gate, the Fifth Celestial Gate...

'The Little Ancestors of the Four Great Primordial Races?'

「At the Fourth Celestial Gate.」

Wuchen, a participant about to enter the stage, let out a slight sigh. His dark eyes were sharp as he looked up at the Great Wall Arena beyond the Celestial Gate.

The arena was shrouded in Chaos Qi. Dao Fortune was interwoven within it, its patterns oozing blood. It was boundlessly vast.

On the other side, within the Chaotic Qi Flow, the magnificent and noble silhouettes of Desolate Gods had already begun to take the stage one after another!

'For such a grand event, would he be content to remain silent?'

Amidst the increasingly urgent drumbeats, Wuchen thought of that cheap master of his.

Among those who had appeared from the Seventh Celestial Gate, the Primordial Heavenly King was not present. The known information was that his realm was not yet high enough.

It seemed that since he withdrew from the battlefield nearly three months ago, the Primordial Heavenly King had vanished. He had been in seclusion in the Primordial Battlefield and hadn't appeared since. Many people at the Seventh Celestial Gate no longer paid him any mind.

The battlefield was in constant flux. New talents revealed their sharp edges every day.

A mere Quasi-Emperor, without any heaven-defying achievements and inactive to boot, was indeed easily forgotten.

However, Wuchen, who knew how his master operated, understood that an extreme egoist would never let go of even the slightest advantage or benefit!

Take the somewhat mysterious Jiang Han, for example.

Wuchen's gaze shifted to Jiang Han, who was also waiting outside one of the arena rings.

'This man...'

'You could say he's no different from my cheap master.'

'Ruthless, cruel, and unscrupulous.'

'The moment his eyes move, he's cooking up all sorts of schemes and plots. He has no moral bottom line.' Wuchen had never tried to get close to Jiang Han.

Because he understood what kind of person he was dealing with.

'As long as there's a benefit to be had, anything and anyone can be part of his calculations.'

'Betrayal is as common as breathing for him. You never know when you might be the one getting sold out.'

'The only difference, perhaps, is that his master's actions and the path he walks are simply too outrageous.'

'Three years ago, he was merely a Great Saint.'

'Yet he dared to confront a Primordial Chaos existence, went mad and detonated the Burial Realm, and a whole series of other incidents before that. Just hearing about them was enough to make one's scalp tingle!'

'And his earliest title, the Divine Desolate Tribulation Demon. That was even more unbelievable. To this day, it remains a pillar of shame for several of All Heavens' Common Lords.'

'If he put himself in his master's shoes and tried to walk the same path, Wuchen feared he wouldn't even make it out of the Divine Wilderness.'

'With all these impossibilities laid out before him, Wuchen dared to conclude...'

'...that his mysterious master would absolutely not be content to remain silent. He would definitely stir up a storm in this battle of the two realms' arenas!'

DONG!!

As Wuchen's thoughts were in turmoil, the final thunderous clap of the Great Dao resounded. It was deafening, shaking one's very Divine Soul, causing the hot blood in their bodies to roar with passion and their fighting spirit to soar!

He snapped his head up to look.

At the end of the Fourth Celestial Gate, the Chaotic Qi Flow shrouding the Great Wall Arena dissipated, leaving only waterfall-like Dao Patterns sealing the stage. There were no longer any obstacles to entering the arena!

DONG—DONG DONG DONG!!

"Children of Hongyuan, ascend the stage and die!!"

The dull thud of impacts, like stars falling from the sky, accompanied by ancient, desolate roars, exploded ceaselessly upon the blood-colored arena!

"The Chaos Race..."

Wuchen's gaze sharpened. On his ring of the blood-colored arena, he saw his opponent. It was a Fierce Beast of the Ancient Primordial Race, one that looked down upon all creation and was even larger than a Great Thousand World.

Its entire body was crimson and sack-like.

It had no head, no eyes, no ears, no mouth, and no nose.

But it had six legs and four wings. Its legs were like the Stabilizing Needle of the Sea of Chaos, symbolizing a supreme suppressive power that held the primordial Chaotic Qi Flow within its body in check.

Its four great black wings represented chaos, disorder, darkness, and destruction!

According to legend, the Chaos Race was born with bodies that could contain the Chaos Qi that made other living beings pale with fear, because they fed on Chaos Qi.

They disliked peace and order. Their greatest joy was to destroy the peace and stability of all things, turning them into primordial Chaos Qi to be devoured.

Among the Four Great Primordial Races, the Chaos Race ranked first!

This was because they were born ruling the Power of Chaos. After becoming a Primordial Chaos existence, they were guaranteed to form the Transversely Refined Chaos Body, the strongest of all paths!

At the same time, they were also an amalgamation of various negative field forces, complete 'anti-matter' within the Great Dao. One can only imagine how powerful their bloodline was.

The Chaos creature before Wuchen was still very young. One could even say it was in its infant stage.

But its strength had already reached the Saint Master Peak level.

Advancing on three Daos simultaneously was standard for them!

Its four natal wings were four Strongest Divine Techniques, and within its large, crimson, sack-like body, primordial Chaotic Qi Flow roiled!

Faced with this ancient monster, an ordinary Saint Master who had perfected three Daos was nothing but free food, no different from an ant being crushed. Even a low-level Venerable would be no match for it!

"Hehe, your luck is pretty good, kid. The physique and essence blood of the Chaos Race are a supreme Great Medicine for the Transverse Refining Dao. Kill it, and I'll help you refine a Chaos Pill!"

The Big Black Wolf cackled, a bit envious and a bit gloating, urging Wuchen to quickly get on stage and slay the Chaos creature.

The Chaos Race may be fierce, but Wuchen, whom it had personally trained, was even fiercer!

Not to mention... this lucky kid also cultivated the most special of the Ten Great Strongest Divine Techniques, the Mixed Lotus Extreme Path, and had long since broken through the Tenth Grade great barrier!

"You carry the weight of Hongyuan; how can you shrink from this fight? Advance!!"

The Law Enforcement Team overseeing the battle at the Fourth Celestial Gate faced the roars and provocations of the Mountain and Sea Wilderness Gods. Taking a deep breath, their leader looked grimly at Wuchen and the first group of combatants, then swung down the war banner in his hand, officially igniting the battle!

"I'll kill you and turn you into a pill!"

The moment the great banner fell, Wuchen's eyes glinted with ferocity. He no longer hesitated.

He leaped out of the Garrison City. His magnificent body passed through the Great Dao barrier, and the instant he felt the Dao Fortune swirling around him, he engaged the Chaos Race's Celestial Pride in battle without another word!

"Kill!!"

"We won't let you run rampant!"

"So what if you're a Primordial Race? Bloodline means nothing! The strong will always be strong!"

After Wuchen, on every ring of the Great Wall Arena at the Fourth Celestial Gate, Jiang Han and the other peak Saint Masters from the Fourth Celestial Gate also ascended the two realms' arena under the watchful eyes of the masses. They too began a bloody battle without a word.

Behind them, there was a second group, a third group... all of them were Celestial Prides who had reached the perfected Hongyuan Saint Master Realm.

They were ready to be rotated in at any moment.

Lose a single match, and one of the Great Wall Arena's rings would push forward, occupying Hongyuan's territory. If they didn't promptly replace the loser and kill the arena's master to win back the Dao Fortune, this process would not stop!
