“It's time!” Qin Hao’s eyes sharpened. The names on the bestowal of gods had already surpassed his goal of 3,000, even exceeding his imagination. After King Slayer incited the chaotic war between the races, the surrounding battles became increasingly frequent.
Even powerhouses who had just left the Purple Firmament Palace would be attacked by powerhouses from various races ambushing nearby. Their objective was very clear: for the potential treasure.
The news of a treasure within the Purple Firmament Palace was no longer a secret, and many powerhouses who emerged from the Purple Firmament Palace and encountered ambushes had exposed the existence of treasures.
By now, over a hundred treasures had appeared, and various races had successively mobilized more powerhouses to come. Only the Human Race had a relatively smaller number of people arriving.
Outside the Purple Firmament Palace, a new group of people gathered, waiting for the Purple Firmament Palace's gates to open so they could enter. However, time had passed, and the Purple Firmament Palace's archway remained motionless.
“Why haven’t the palace gates opened?”
Over several centuries, everyone had grown accustomed to the Purple Firmament Palace opening its gates on time for entry. But now, a new change had occurred.
The current situation made everyone preparing to enter feel nervous. They had all paid a considerable price to gain the opportunity to enter, and now such a situation had arisen.
“Impossible. For hundreds of years, the Purple Firmament Palace has never made a mistake. Why is this happening now?”
“Quickly, report the situation back. The Purple Firmament Palace might be undergoing new changes; be prepared.”
People from various racial groups began to act, while also warily watching the other three sides.
Upon receiving the news, the Monster Race, Insect Race, Automaton Race, and Human Race quickly sprang into action. Their respective leaders soon gathered outside the Purple Firmament Palace, observing it, hoping to discern something different.
Just as everyone was observing, the Purple Firmament Palace gates swung open, but without the usual powerful devouring force. Instead, a powerful force erupted from within the Purple Firmament Palace, surging through the gates and pushing everyone nearby away. Instantly, within a ten-thousand-mile radius, there was no one left.
Some tried to defy the force and enter the Purple Firmament Palace, burning their divine power to rush towards it. However, after taking the first step, before they could take the second, their bodies were rapidly propelled backward, and their forms simultaneously began to disintegrate.
The immense power greatly astonished those nearby, and they dared not resist in the slightest, quickly retreating to ten thousand miles away. While retreating, everyone from the four major factions also began to quickly gather, forming four square formations at a distance of ten thousand miles from the Purple Firmament Palace, watching the Purple Firmament Palace while also vigilantly observing the other three sides.
The four sides comprised over one hundred thousand King-Level powerhouses. For any race, such a number of Champions constituted a core force, and could even impact the strength of the entire race.
Precisely because of this, although many Champions had gathered and battles were constant, the conflicts had not been fully escalated. However, under the instigation of King Slayer and others, the battles between the various races had begun to intensify, and their gazes towards each other were filled with hatred.
Nevertheless, despite the hatred, the most important thing right now was the change in the Purple Firmament Palace. After the immense power forced everyone back to ten thousand miles, the power within the Purple Firmament Palace did not continue to expand. Through the open palace gates, one could still see the misty internal state, and even within the main hall, countless spatial fragments, and the worlds formed within those spatial fragments.
Purple light ascended, and the size of the Purple Firmament Palace rapidly expanded. Its misty aura quickly spread outwards. From within the palace gates, black dots began to spurt out, rapidly shooting in all directions.
After the black dots spewed from the Purple Firmament Palace, they began to continuously enlarge: 1 kilometer, 10 kilometers, 100 kilometers, 1,000 kilometers…
Massive spheres, tens of thousands of kilometers in size, appeared within a ten-million-mile radius.
“These are worlds? Could they be the worlds where treasures are stored in the Purple Firmament Palace’s back hall?”
After the worlds appeared, everyone quickly reacted. This was very similar to the legendary worlds where treasures were stored in the Purple Firmament Palace. At the same time, some people had already begun to act.
A King-level Limit powerhouse quickly arrived at the periphery of the nearest world, directly extending his divine power into it. A treasure appeared before his eyes. Upon seeing the treasure, he acted swiftly, forcibly breaking open the world. Disregarding the damage caused by the World Power and Law Power, he directly moved against the flow, seized the treasure, and quickly began to refine it.
“Hahaha, this treasure is mine!” His arrogant voice echoed all around. Everyone looked at the treasure in his hand, their eyes filled with greed.
However, no one immediately chose to snatch it. Instead, they surged towards the worlds that had appeared around them, hoping to acquire another treasure. Since it had been verified, these worlds all contained a treasure. As long as these worlds were opened, a treasure could be obtained.
One by one, Champions quickly arrived at the edge of the worlds, rapidly attacking them. All the worlds directly shattered, and treasures appeared before everyone.
“The treasure is mine, it’s mine, it’s mine!”
With treasures before them, even Champions began to lose their rationality at this moment, each wanting to claim a treasure for themselves. Hundreds of treasures, over 100,000 Champions. Each treasure was contested by hundreds or thousands of Champions.
As everyone focused on the treasures, a misty haze quietly rose, and wisps of blood-colored mist, centered on the Purple Firmament Palace, rapidly spread outwards. Furthermore, it condensed around each treasure as its core, completely enveloping the surrounding ten million miles.
With the Purple Firmament Palace as the core and numerous treasures as the array, Qin Hao brought the ten-million-mile radius under his control. At the same time, Qin Hao also quietly walked out of the Purple Firmament Palace.
The surroundings would be transformed into a chaotic battlefield by him, burying many Champions from the three races. However, many Human Race Champion powerhouses were also within this grand array, so Qin Hao had no choice but to act and lead them out of the array.
“All Human Race personnel, listen to my command: quickly assemble!”
The intelligent lives of all Champions within the ten-million-mile radius were fully mobilized at this moment. A majestic voice resonated in the ears of every Human Race member. At this time, the entire grand array had not yet been fully activated. Although the Human Race members had begun to snatch treasures, they had not yet entered a state of complete madness.
Upon receiving the command, they quickly sobered up and began to converge towards the designated coordinates. The command was transmitted through forced control of the intelligent lives, and it was issued with extremely high authority, which no Champion dared to disregard in the slightest.
Even if a treasure was right in front of them, they now had no choice but to quietly withdraw.
