The throne of the Human Sovereign, revered across the Myriad Domains, marks the opening of a grand competition, becoming the most spectacular event in the myriad realms in recent years. Countless young geniuses have emerged one after another, all vying for the position of Human Sovereign.
Almost every moment, young geniuses clash in fierce competition across various domains.
The competition on this path is far more intense than one could imagine. Anyone wishing to contend for the Human Sovereign's throne will face not just one or two opponents, nor even merely thousands, but the innumerable geniuses from across the myriad realms.
The number of prodigies in a single great domain is already unimaginable, let alone across the myriad realms—it is countless, reaching a level difficult to fathom.
Moreover, it is said that this era holds the hope of achieving the Emperor realm, destined to become the most prosperous and glorious great era since the Mythical Era.
It's not just this era; peerless geniuses from past generations throughout history will also choose to unseal and appear in this era.
Thus, all of this has created a path to the pinnacle of the Great Dao, revered across the Myriad Domains, teeming with experts and powerful figures. Even those as mighty as Kings are merely relatively strong members among them, yet they still face numerous formidable competitors.
After all, the Myriad Domains are vast; it's impossible for there to be only a handful of Kings.
Even if only one King is born per several great domains, looking across the myriad realms, the number is still quite considerable.
However, there are always some who stand aloof above others, exceptionally dazzling—they are the Immortal True Kings.
This category of people is truly few and far between. Across the myriad realms, there are only a select few. They are genuinely lofty, transcending the mundane, standing above Kings, possessing the true hope of contending for the Human Sovereign's throne.
Among the past generation of the younger generation, figures like the Primordial Demon God, Son of God, Feng Wu, Yuan Yao Divine King, Undying Young Master, Void Divine King, Sun God, and others have stood out, carving out a brilliant sky, achieving Immortal True King status, walking at the forefront of the Human Sovereign's path, invincible in the mortal world, hailed as the most powerful future contenders for the Human Sovereign's throne.
It is said they have now each stepped into the mysterious Samsara, struggling through the crossing of the mortal Samsara, tempering their Dao hearts, comprehending past and present lives. One day, they will awaken, transcend Samsara, achieve the unparalleled Heavenly King realm, and look down upon all heroes across the realms.
While the past generation faces competition at a higher level, the new generation of young geniuses has taken this opportunity to bloom like a hundred flowers, competing in splendor. Outstanding talents and prodigies have emerged one after another, with Kings appearing continuously and prodigies standing in great numbers, resulting in the most brilliant collisions.
The Myriad Domains are ultimately too vast, with an immense base of living beings and countless races. Furthermore, some who waited since ancient times for this era chose to remain sealed in longevity until this era to emerge, thus creating a number of Kings far greater than the world imagined.
In past eras, even during Human Sovereign competitions, often only one or two Kings were born per several great domains. Many times, not even one might emerge from ten or even dozens of great domains. But this era is different.
Moreover, as time passes, the number of Kings appearing is increasing. Because in this era, the myriad Daos of heaven and earth are erupting powerfully, the chance of becoming a King is greater than in the past, and also because the young geniuses of the past generation have chosen to emerge, creating a prosperous situation in this era where almost every great domain may possess Kings, with numerous Kings standing side by side in competition.
It can be said it's not the concentration of a single era, but more the concentration of geniuses from many past eras.
However, up to now, among the new generation, there has been no news of an Immortal True King emerging.
'Becoming a King is easy; becoming a True King is difficult.' This is a widely circulated saying across the Myriad Domains.
Living in this era, cultivating the Great Dao seems many times easier. Even becoming a King is easier than in the past—of course, only relatively speaking. Truly becoming a King is still very difficult; otherwise, there wouldn't be only one or two per great domain.
But relatively speaking, achieving Immortal True King status is even more difficult. It is said one must take half a step beyond the original pinnacle of the ninth heaven, undergoing Extreme Sublimation in all aspects, to touch the legendary realm of True Kings, stand within it, and display an immortal bearing.
It sounds simple, but doing it is too difficult, nearly impossible.
The myriad realms are vast and boundless. Each great domain is immense. How grand and magnificent the combined Myriad Domains are, even those supreme Great Powers who overlook the myriad realms might not be able to traverse them all in a lifetime.
The number of genius prodigies born in the new generation is countless, yet none has managed to give birth to an Immortal True King.
It is said that in the distant, unreachable Mythical Era of the previous epoch, an ancient era before the myriad realms appeared, between heaven and earth there were not just Nine Heavens, but also a Tenth Heaven. The human body could transcend nine layers, reaching the state of the Tenth Heaven.
But after the Tenth Heaven mysteriously disappeared, following the Mythical Era, it became impossible to reach the legendary Tenth Heaven. Because the human body must correspond to a heaven and earth that is now incomplete; even someone as powerful as an Immortal True King cannot achieve it.
Yet, they, peerlessly dazzling throughout eternity, actually, on their original foundation, at the ninth heaven realm, underwent Extreme Sublimation and took another half-step, touching the legendary Tenth Heaven. They could not completely cross over, but they attained an invincible, supremely powerful bearing that transcends the ninth heaven. This is the capital of the Immortal True Kings' supreme invincibility.
Unfortunately, achieving all this is ultimately too difficult. Otherwise, among the many peerless geniuses across the myriad realms, there wouldn't be only that handful of Immortal True Kings.
At least among the current younger generation, no one has been able to achieve Immortal True King status!
Yet on this day, just as all the geniuses of the new generation were competing on the Human Sovereign's path, a piece of news spread across the Myriad Domains, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, causing worldwide astonishment.
Someone has achieved True King status!
Once this news spread, it was like a meteor crashing into the ocean, exploding into thousand-layer giant waves, drawing the attention of countless people across the mortal world.
An Immortal True King has finally been born and appeared.
The young True King of the new generation hails from the Qingyang Domain. It is said he achieved a breakthrough on the Domain War battlefield, sweeping through four Kings, suppressing them with a raise of his hand, unmatched, with divine grace bestowed by heaven. This has been confirmed by many.
He is Yue, a supremely powerful King who once left traces in the Void Divine Domain, defeated the Donghua Clan's King Hao Yi, withstood five Kings without defeat, ascended the ancient gate left by an ancient Great Sage, and seized a mysterious opportunity.
Only his origins remain mysterious and unknown. But it is said he is the closed-door disciple of the past generation's Immortal True King, Yuan Yao Divine King, because he once displayed similar profound arts like the nine divine rings surrounding his body, impervious to all techniques.
But Yue personally denied this, stating that Yuan Yao Divine King was not qualified.
Some also speculate he is a young True King born under the guidance of the Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky, because to protect his safety, the strongest legion under the Fourth Great Bandit, the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry, personally mobilized and entered the Domain War battlefield to protect him.
But the world finds this somewhat unlikely. Although Saint Lord-level figures are powerful, even a supreme Great Power might not be able to teach an Immortal True King, let alone a Saint Lord-level expert.
But he must have an inseparable relationship with the Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky.
There are too many theories about all this, too many speculations about the origins of the Great Demon King Yue. But what is undeniable is that the Great Demon King Yue has completely become the focus of the world's attention.
Because he is the Immortal True King of the new generation. In the future, as long as he does not fall, he will inevitably become one of the final few contenders for the Human Sovereign's throne.
Far in the center of the Myriad Domains, this is the most prosperous place of all domains. Here stand the Hundred Schools of Thought, Immortal Sacred Lands, Immortal Divine Dynasties, and countless large and small forces where Great Powers preside, the strongest Sacred Lands among them.
Naturally, there are also countless experts here, a place where tigers crouch and dragons hide. It is said to be the origin land of the myriad realms.
And more importantly, in the most crucial location of this central region lies the undisputed top force—the Human Sovereign Palace. The successive supreme Human Sovereigns who preside over the rise and fall of all in the myriad realms have always resided here, seated upon that supreme throne, overlooking the myriad realms, discerning the secrets of longevity and immortality.
The central region of the Myriad Domains is vast and boundless, even larger than other great domains.
On this day, within an ancient secret realm, an ancient and towering mountain range exploded. A terrifying figure walked out from within, his entire body radiating supreme might that caused heaven and earth to tremble. Mountain after mountain crumbled. All living beings within hundreds of li around trembled and prostrated toward this place.
His black hair was loose, his entire person carrying a wild, demonic aura of immense terror. At this moment, his gaze was cold and piercing, like two Great Dao heavenly swords unsheathing, impossible to look at directly. He said, "Finally emerged. According to divination, the Heavenly Dao of this era will be completely perfected. The Nine Heavens will no longer be a restriction; there will be hope of achieving Emperor and Sovereign status. Cannot miss this."
"Sealed in longevity from that era until this one, only to perfect the Heavenly Dao's flaws, cultivate to great completion, become Sovereign, claim Emperorhood."
"In this era, I shall be the Human Sovereign, presiding over the rise and fall of the Myriad Domains."
His words were sonorous and forceful, causing the void to tremble. However, if outsiders were present, they would be shocked to discover that this person's speech was not in the language of the present era; it was very ancient, matching the attire he wore, from an unknown era.
Boom—
He condensed into a dazzling, blazing light and vanished, actually tearing through the void with his physical body to escape.
In another ancient and unknown mysterious void, one brilliant passage after another appeared, overflowing with surging, infinite divine splendor, giving birth to a void divine pool. Astonishingly, the Dao laws of the myriad realms circulated and manifested here.
If a discerning person were here, they would be shocked to discover that these ten passages were precisely Heaven and Earth's Primordial Divine Springs, possessing the purest source power in the world. Staying here long-term could continuously transform and strengthen one's body, constantly forge a stronger foundation, with limitless potential.
This could be called a world-shaking opportunity, something even a supreme Great Power would covet.
Within the void divine pool was a crystal sphere about a zhang in diameter, flawless and sparkling. But upon closer inspection, one could clearly see this crystal sphere was perfectly flawless, without blemish. Moreover, traces of heaven and earth's Dao marks intertwined with each other—it was a perfectly flawless World Heart.
Inside was a slender, upright figure—an extremely handsome man with a perfectly symmetrical golden physique, long golden hair flowing down. He had been sealed within the perfect World Heart. Even in slumber, he absorbed the power of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Divine Springs flowing from the ten passages, his entire body's flesh constantly glowing with radiance.
His heart beat strong and powerful, each pulsation causing the entire world to tremble along with it.
At this moment, the figure sleeping within awoke. The instant he opened his eyes, terrifying phenomena of heaven and earth's destruction and the universe's birth actually manifested.
"The era of achieving Emperorhood, is it finally about to arrive?"
In a certain ordinary valley within the myriad realms, boundless heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered here. The figure seated within seemed like a bottomless pit, endlessly devouring the energy of heaven and earth from all directions. Astonishing phenomena appeared; mountains and valleys trembled.
This figure was as eye-catching as an Immortal King, with holy light flowing, his flesh glowing, supremely divine and sacred, causing all living beings in the ten directions to worship.
Half a day later, he stopped cultivating. At this moment, gazing toward a certain direction, he softly said, "Has an Immortal True King finally been born among the new generation? Pity that is not our limitation; we should transcend above."
Boom—
On his body, layer after layer of dazzling divine rings actually appeared—a full nine layers, similar to Ye Chen's divine rings but with a different aura. Ten thousand layers of holy light circulated, making his entire person appear supremely transcendent.
This person was as elegant as jade, incomparably handsome, rare in the world. His flesh even more so glowed with splendor, his flesh and blood crystalline, even each strand of hair stained with flawless holy light, as eye-catching as a child of light.
In the end, within his nine divine rings, a tenth dim ring actually appeared, faintly discernible.
The tenth layer above the ninth!
Far away, on a Bloody Battlefield in a certain great domain of the Myriad Domains.
Boom—
A fierce battle unfolded in the sky above, divine energy shaking the heavens, as if two deities were clashing.
But not long after, heaven collapsed and earth split. A blood-colored spear, imbued with unparalleled divine energy, pierced through a thousand-zhang-long flood dragon, nailing it to the ground. A demonic energy that could startle heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep instantly erupted, tearing this fearsome flood dragon apart—complete annihilation of both body and spirit.
A powerful super-expert of the flood dragon race from the demon race had been slain!
Everyone from both sides on the Bloody Battlefield looked in horror at the young figure descending step by step from the sky, bathed in blood, pitch-black demonic energy swirling around, shaking space, like a world-shaking Demon Lord emerging, terrifying to the extreme, causing both sides to feel awe.
At this moment, his gaze looked into the distance, carrying a fearsome demonic nature. He said, "Finally, a True King has been born? Hard on this generation. But on the day of claiming Sovereignhood, I will surely slay him!"
