The Prodigies War

Along with the advent of the great era came drastic changes to the domain.

The three thousand guidance grounds throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain quickly became the eyes of storms!

The heaven prides and geniuses from the major clans, the direct descendants of the major lineages and saint families, and the giants of the young generations all flocked to the Grounds of Enlightenment like torrents.

All cultivators in the world were paying attention!

This day was destined to go down in history as the arrival of a world of extreme splendor that would be remembered for generations to come.

“My great dao looks promising.”

In the Omega Sword Sect, Yun Qingbai’s expression was as indifferent as ever.

Only between his sword-like eyebrows was an unprecedentedly sharp aura that was seemingly able to pierce the sky.

He had spent ten years sharpening his sword, and the great era was the perfect time to test it!

Receiving the ancient sword case from the sword attendant, and like every previous day in his sword cultivation, he solemnly carried the case on his back.

The world knew that Yun Qingbai never wore a sword on his waist. Carrying his sword on his back was his sword dao.

On this day, he descended the mountain alone.

“Time to leave!”

On this day, Wang Xuanyu, Mi Hengzhen, Ye Mohe, Yan Zhanqiu, and the other famous heirs of the major dao lineages were accompanied by their elders as they left their clans for different guidance grounds.

Meanwhile, some ancient freaks such as Chi Lingxiao who practiced the Six Prisons World Destruction Art, the peerless holy maiden Lin Xue who caused countless heaven prides to bow down three thousand years ago, and Bai Longting of the White Flood-Dragon Clan…also made their moves!

The tens of thousands of heaven prides and geniuses from the past and present began to gather in the great era and appear at the various guidance grounds, attracting the attention of the whole domain.

At the same time, the forces from the Hidden Holy Lands also acted!

Great Zen Temple, Divine Apparatus Pavilion, Earth Treasury Temple, and Skyless Sect…all these ancient forces that had isolated themselves from the world finally started to come out after the arrival of the great era.

“Don’t forget to take care of that weasel Lin Xun!” This was an order from a powerful figure of Heaven Axis Holy Land.

“If you still remember the shame that the little rascal Lin Xun has brought to our sect, then I believe you understand what you need to do after entering the Supreme Realm.”

“No matter what, do not allow that bastard to become a King!”

“In the battle of the great era, your first priority is to seize the opportunity to become a King, and second is to kill Lin Xun.”

Similar conversations took place in Longevity Land, Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Omega Sword Sect, Azure Sea Sect, Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, and the other great powers.

When the mysterious woman had turned Saints into animals and shepherded them to the ancient clans all on her own, the clans had endured the humiliation, but they could never forget!

Now the Supreme Realm was about to descend, and it did not allow anyone above the King stage to enter. This was undoubtedly their best opportunity to take revenge and wash away the shame.

Moreover, their disciples were coming in great numbers and would be watched over by their clans’ ancient freaks!

This was their foundation and trump card!

……

The world was still changing.

The mist over the ancient battlefield had long been swept away, revealing the sky that was as clear as glass. Abundant vitality bloomed from within the ruins, bathing the heaven and earth in its ethereal and peaceful aura.

With the passage of time, more and more cultivators gathered in front of Enlightenment City. Their number multiplied in just a few days, crowding a hundred miles of land.

Most of them were heirs of dao lineages and clans, and there was no lack of some supreme heaven prides and ancient freaks.

Under such circumstances, both the Golden Crow Clan and the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain seemed very restrained as they didn’t want to start a conflict.

Lin Xun, Toady, and A’lu appeared meager and weak in the sea of cultivators from major forces. They were in groups of dozens or hundreds, and while many of them couldn’t be considered top-notch, their combined power was still alarming.

Fortunately, the cultivators arriving in this area had all learned of Lin Xun’s identity one after another, so no one caused trouble for his group despite their few numbers.

“More and more people keep coming,” sighed Toady.

This was the fourth day into the great era. Not only had the world changed drastically, but the number of cultivators arriving at the City of Enlightenment had also skyrocketed.

One could tell how fierce the competition would be inside the Supreme Realm.

In response to Toady’s comment, A’lu was sound asleep while Lin Xun sat cross-legged in meditation, seemingly oblivious to what was going on around him.

Toady was speechless. These two…are a little too carefree!

“Latest news, latest news!”

In the distance, a Windspeaker Clan expert was flapping his wings, attracting the attention of many cultivators.

In the past few days, the Windspeaker Clan experts had been the only source of news from the outside world for cultivators in front of the Enlightenment City.

“The Saints of Divine Apparatus Pavilion have deduced that the Holy Worship Altar is going to descend within seven days!”

The entire area clamored.

Many were unable to sit still, their eyes glowing.

The wait was undoubtedly the hardest period, especially when there were still many more cultivators arriving at every moment, causing the pressure to increase.

“According to the statistics our clan’s seniors have gathered, the number of cultivators in all three thousand Grounds of Enlightenment has exceeded 50 million!”

Hearing this, the expressions on many faces changed and their hearts tightened.

“How can there be so many?” someone was shocked.

Very quickly, someone else provided the answer.

The vast Ancient Wasteland Domain spread across countless states and cities, with the number of cultivators being in the hundreds of millions!

And as everyone already knew, the condition for entering the Supreme Realm was simple: anyone under the King stage.

So all cultivators who met this condition, regardless of whether or not they were the top characters in the younger generation, were qualified to enter the Supreme Realm!

The supreme characters came to seize heaven-defying opportunities and achieve the Supreme King stage while the other cultivators didn’t have such extravagant expectations. They only wanted to seek good resources.

Why did some ancient lineages send so many disciples to the Supreme Realm?

Simply because they wanted to seize as many resources as possible. Even if their descendants couldn’t achieve the Supreme King stage, at least they would still have a great hope to become King!

Worst case scenario, they could find some herbal materials and treasures unattainable in the outside world.

The weaker cultivators naturally had the same intention and wanted to take their chances. They knew how dangerous it was, but who would be afraid to take risks in order to become stronger and rise in their path of cultivation?

Since that was what everyone was thinking, all eligible cultivators would flock to the Supreme Realm like swarms of bees.

“There is something everyone may not know yet, the the City of Enlightenment in front of this ancient battlefield already looks quite good. Some of the guidance grounds in prosperous areas have already gathered millions of cultivators. It’s absolutely scary!” the Windspeaker expert also lamented.

“The competition is getting more and more brutal!” Someone was worried.

“Hmph! They are just cannon fodder anyway, their blood and bones will build the way for others to become Kings!” Some conceited cultivators didn’t take it seriously.

“When the weak want to rise, they can only fight with their lives on the line. Although the hope is slim, just one opportunity in the Supreme Realm can take you to the peak!”

“Unfortunately, the chances are too slim. True opportunistic fortunes cannot be obtained by just luck.”

The sound of discussion never ceased in the area.

“Before the Holy Worship Altar descends, there are some things I have to tell you.” Toady turned his gaze to Lin Xun and A’lu while transmitting his voice, “This path we’ve chosen will lead to the Burning Immortal World, one of the three thousand worlds.

“Upon entering, every cultivator will be separated and transported to a different region in the Burning Immortal World.

“Because the heavenly laws within it are different, some of the transmission methods in the outside world cannot be used at all, and if the three of us wish to rendezvous, we must go to the Burning Immortal Ancient City.”

“Burning Immortal Ancient City?” Lin Xun raised his brows.

“Yes, that’s the center of the Burning Immortal World, and it’s also called the ‘World City.’ There’s a similar ancient city in every world.” Speaking of this, Toady reminded them, “You guys have to be careful in there. The Supreme Realm hides countless opportunities but likewise a lot of dangers!”

Lin Xun and A’lu nodded.

“Of course, the most important thing is to head to the Burning Immortal Ancient City right away. When you get there, I’ll take you to an extraordinary place of opportunity…” Toady drooled as he seemed to recall something in his memory.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators were communicating in silence as well.

Many ancient lineages experts were also instructing their disciples. They held many secrets that outsiders couldn’t know, and their understanding of the Supreme Realm was not inferior to Toady.

……

The number of cultivators in front of the three thousand guidance grounds increased with time, and the atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

Boom!

One day, in the sky over the ancient battlefield, a dazzling beam of light descended with a radiance so magnificent and holy that it made everyone’s heart tremble.

In unison, they looked at the beam of light while trembling in anticipation. This was the long-awaited Holy Worship Altar…

It was finally here!

That holy beam of light was a manifestation of the dao which had appeared several times in the ancient era. Today, it had descended once again in all its glory.

Not to mention the Cyclic Derivation elites, even the King stage old monsters present as well as the Saints hidden in the shadows all narrowed their eyes and gazed at the light with full attention.

That was the supreme dao order which was usually intangible. If one could comprehend it, then their dao path might even grow!

The crystal-clear rain of light scattered from the beam filled the sky and earth. At this moment, everyone felt the aura of the dao and quietly experienced it with a solemn expression.

Unfortunately, the level of such a power was too high. Although perceivable, it became hazy like a dream when one intended to study it.

Rumble!

The brilliant beam of light fell into the City of Enlightenment, and at once, endless streams of dao light emerged, soaking the heaven and earth in a divine aura.

The streams of dao light formed the shape of a starry river pouring into a waterfall, brilliant and ethereal. It felt like the origin of the dao was permeating the air.

Eventually, the endless dao light condensed into an ancient altar.

At the same time, the gate of the City of Enlightenment, which had been sealed for an unknown number of years, quietly opened.
