"The Heavenly Glow King has arrived. I never expected a Young King would specially rush over. This is truly beyond anticipation."
"It's said it's not just one Young King; other Young Kings also intend to come to Tianyuan City."
Roar—
A terrifying roar shook the ancient city. A fearsome divine tiger soared through the sky, standing about one and a half zhang tall, its fur bristling, its aura terrifying, its blood energy vigorous. It was a true primordial exotic species, extremely powerful.
"Look, that's the Doomsday Divine Tiger. It must be the War King arriving." The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Sure enough, seated atop the Doomsday Divine Tiger was a particularly imposing king, about one zhang tall, exceptionally burly and robust. His arms were thicker than two ordinary human thighs bound together. He charged forth holding a battle spear, stirring up a surging gale. Everyone hurriedly made way, not daring to block him.
Finally, the War King charged into Tianyuan City.
On another front, a unicorn sky horse neighed, its snow-white fur appearing so holy, yet it bore a pair of fallen celestial wings. It neighed as it arrived, pulling a war chariot, with a yin-cold aura spreading and extending.
The crowd recognized it: that was the Nine Netherworlds King. Another powerful Young King had arrived. The winds and clouds gathered at Tianyuan, drawing attention from all directions!
This day, Tianyuan City was quite lively, gathering numerous young powerhouses, at least all famous young supreme experts from this Xiangyang Region, rarely congregating in Tianyuan City. There were even genuine Young Kings rushing over, attracting even more attention from all sides.
One could sense powerful auras soaring into the sky from Tianyuan City. Too many powerhouses had gathered, but the vast majority were young powerhouses.
Moreover, a strong kingly majesty was radiating, drawing the attention of people from all corners. Clearly, this would be a rare grand gathering of the younger generation.
Ye Chen did not forcefully ascend into Tianyuan City. On the contrary, he restrained his aura, appearing very ordinary, like a common young powerhouse, heading towards the center of Tianyuan City.
There stood a palace, the treasure hall of a leading power in Tianyuan City. Normally, no one dared to enter, but at this moment, it had been vacated. Because the arriving major young powerhouses all had extraordinary backgrounds, and there were Young Kings stationed there, even a leading power as strong as this one had to bow its head, not daring to offend.
The palace was resplendent and magnificent, its space also quite expansive. A group of young prodigies were gathered here, holding a grand feast. The mysterious Heavenly Glow King, War King, and Nine Netherworlds King—three kings—were located at the very top of the palace. There were three elegant pavilions there, occupied by them for rest. Others did not dare approach.
Ye Chen arrived and attended the feast. Seizing the opportunity, he asked a young-generation powerhouse beside him who seemed relatively amiable: "Fellow Daoist, may I ask what has happened? Why have so many young prodigies gathered in Tianyuan City?"
The questioned young powerhouse looked at Ye Chen in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, did you come over without knowing what happened?"
Ye Chen felt somewhat awkward: "I was just passing through. Seeing a gathering of the younger generation, I came over. Please, Fellow Daoist, enlighten me."
Seeing this, the other party did not doubt Ye Chen: "In that case, it's understandable you don't know. This isn't really a secret. Actually, the reason so many young powerhouses have gathered in Tianyuan City this time is because a king-slaying incident occurred some time ago!"
According to this young powerhouse's description, the main reason Tianyuan City gathered so many young-generation powerhouses was precisely because a king-slaying incident had occurred, causing an immense uproar and drawing attention from all directions.
This incident happened on the battlefield where the Tianshui Kingdom and Beishen Kingdom were at war. Based on the accounts of the two armies engaged in battle, over a million soldiers clearly witnessed this scene. Some cultivators also took the opportunity to record that moment in a crystal, managing to capture the footage.
In the recording crystal, one could see that on the bloody battlefield, a powerful Young King was being pursued, covered in blood. Finally, a peerless powerhouse from dozens, even hundreds of li away pierced him to the ground with a black great spear. That terrifying killing intent destroyed all vitality of this Young King.
Even the king's divine crown had its divine brilliance absorbed by the other's more majestic divine crown. All this content was clearly visible.
This king-slaying incident caused an immense uproar in the Xiangyang Region, even stirring up waves in several nearby great regions. One stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After all, kings were currently invincible figures of the new generation, having embarked on the Human Sovereign's path, recognized and bestowed with king's divine crowns. Generally, only one could be born across several great regions, so their weight was significant.
Moreover, such figures would play a very important role in the future, becoming fearsome peerless powerhouses, valued by various forces.
Naturally, a typical king-slaying incident wouldn't be so sensational. After all, once one embarks on the Human Sovereign's path, even a king being killed is normal, something everyone would encounter sooner or later. Everyone was mentally prepared.
But the most crucial point was that this slain king was killed while fleeing, covered in blood, his battle armor shattered, his divine sword broken, his entire person appearing very wretched, even his expression showing fear. He had been pursued by a mysterious super powerhouse for at least thousands, even tens of thousands of li.
Major forces in the Xiangyang Region and several nearby great regions seriously suspected that this mysterious super powerhouse might be a peerless figure suspected to be an Immortal True King. Otherwise, even if a king were killed, he wouldn't die in such an undignified manner, even being pierced by a long spear from dozens to hundreds of li away in front of millions of troops.
No one would believe that among the younger generation, someone could pierce and kill an invincible king from dozens to hundreds of li away, unless it was an existence surpassing kings—the supreme strongest, an Immortal True King.
Any Immortal True King was matchless in the world, representing the ultimate extreme of the younger generation, unsurpassable, having undergone Extreme Sublimation in all aspects, powerful beyond imagination, forcing even kings to bow their heads.
It was precisely because of that scene in the recording crystal that people seriously suspected the king-slayer was an Immortal True King. Through the footage, one could sense the king-slayer's divine crown was more majestic and domineering, making the slain king's divine crown appear dim.
Could it be that after the previous generation of Immortal True Kings, the new generation was finally about to give birth to an Immortal True King?
This held immense significance.
This time, the many powerhouses of the younger generation gathered in Tianyuan City, with the main purpose being to search for this supreme figure suspected to be an Immortal True King.
Even several of the kings present had come with the goal of challenging this supreme powerhouse suspected to be an Immortal True King, even wanting to slay him, proclaiming themselves True King in one fell swoop.
