“Divine King Realm?!”
“Truly worthy of being the son of the Heavenly Emperor, possessing the Supreme Emperor Body, how terrifying.” Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
“I have cultivated for eight million years and have not become a Divine King, yet Emperor Ku, in less than a million years, has already ascended to Divine King. The gap between men can be even greater than the gap between man and dog.”
As Emperor Ku defeated the number one genius of Taiyi Holy Land, all other Holy Lands trembled.
Emperor Ku displayed the prowess of the Divine King Realm, overwhelming the assembled geniuses and looking down scornfully at the Eight Great Divine Palaces and various Holy Lands.
The terror of the Supreme Emperor Body was felt by all major Holy Lands.
“If nothing unexpected happens, the first place in this competition will undoubtedly belong to Emperor Ku.”
“This competition is really to let Emperor Ku showcase his might; we have all become but a foil.”
“How can the mortal Immortal Emperor Realm compete with the heavenly Divine King Realm? If I encounter Emperor Ku, I would directly forfeit.”
The geniuses from various Holy Lands secretly communicated, whispering among themselves, evidently giving up on contending for the first place.
There is a chasm between the Immortal Emperor Realm and the Divine King Realm.
Perhaps an average Ninth Grade Divine King would allow some top talents from the Immortal Emperor Nine Layers Realm to battle across ranks using qualifications, cultivation techniques, magical treasures, elixir pills, and talismans.
But the opponent is the son of the Heavenly Emperor, endowed with the Supreme Emperor Body and Supreme Skills; invincible even among his peers, not to mention surpassing a significant realm gap.
Emperor Ku threw a provoking glance at Lu Changsheng.
Ten thousand years have passed, he has stepped into the Divine King Realm; what could Lu Changsheng use to contend against him?
Before facing Emperor Ku, Lu Changsheng also had to defeat Chu Wuqing of the Wushen Palace, Tian Chengjian of the Wuming Palace, and Yuexi of the Mysterious Lady Palace, along with other extraordinary geniuses.
Seemingly perceiving Emperor Ku’s provocative gaze, Lu Changsheng did not show weakness and met his gaze.
This fellow actually dared to covet Xia Ningxue, this publicly held contest is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Following Emperor Ku, the geniuses from Eight Great Divine Palaces like Prince Long from Miluo Palace, Li Cangshui from Three Pure Ones Palace, all exhibited the cultivation of a fully accomplished Immortal Emperor.
Each leader of the major Holy Lands wore a solemn expression.
Any of these front-running talents from the eight great Divine Palaces could suppress talents meticulously cultivated by all Holy Lands and Prestigious Families just by descending to the Lower Realm.
It’s a glimpse of the iceberg, showcasing the countless experts accumulated by the Eight Great Divine Palaces through generations.
The depth of the Heavenly Court, unfathomable.
After the first round of competition ended, the second round began.
From the Holy Lands and Prestigious Families’ side, Yan Zhiqiu, Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, Xia Ningxue, Tai Shi Holy Maiden, Li Changye, the Banished Sword Immortal, and some other unfamiliar experts distinguished themselves.
The number one talent from Kunlun Holy Land wasn’t Yan Zhiqiu, but Chen Jinxia of the Purple Void Palace from Kunlun Mountains who had cultivated for a longer time.
Before Emperor Ku appeared, she was once the top of Qilin Ranking and now, having cultivated for nine hundred thousand years, she had reached the fully accomplished Immortal Emperor level.
Chen Jinxia defeated the second-ranked genius from the Three Pure Ones Palace, invigorating all major Holy Lands.
At the same tier as the Eight Great Divine Palaces, the two representatives of Kunlun Holy Land, Chen Jinxia from Immortal Emperor Nine Layers Realm and Yan Zhiqiu from Immortal Emperor Eight Layers Realm, essentially mirror the configuration of the Eight Great Divine Palaces.
Yan Zhiqiu’s cultivation level is only lower than Chen Jinxia’s due to less time cultivating, but Yan Zhiqiu’s innate potential might be even greater.
Besides Purple Void Palace, from the Ancient Dragon Clan came another peerless genius at the Immortal Emperor Nine Layers Realm.
He defeated the second-ranked genius from the Wushen Palace.
“The Ancient Dragon Clan, it is said that from young they temper their bodies with dragon blood, devour dragon essence, possessing an extremely domineering physique, transforming their bodies dragon-like, blending human race cultivation techniques with dragon族 cultivation techniques to create their own Dao. Their physique, even compared to Wushen Palace known for body tempering, does not pale in comparison.”
“Unexpectedly, the Ancient Dragon Clan still has such an expert, and he has never appeared on the Qilin Ranking before.”
“The Qilin Ranking only records the talents who have shown themselves; some talents rarely appear before the public’s eyes.”
The audiences from Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, and the Immortal Dynasty were invigorated again.
Under the pressure of the Eight Great Divine Palaces, there were still talents from various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families who could contend against the Eight Great Divine Palaces.
“Indeed, the Immortal Realm is truly a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers…”
Lu Changsheng discovered that there were more talents appearing this time than those listed on the Qilin Ranking, feeling somewhat surprised.
The Eight Great Divine Palaces and some reclusive geniuses all had potential not inferior to Feng Mu, and some even stronger.
As rounds of competition progressed, before reaching the top thirty-two, Lu Changsheng easily defeated his opponents.
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng’s avatar continued diligently comprehending the Fifth Sword Realm in the cultivation space.
“The difficulty of the Fifth Sword Realm is truly outrageous; I’ve been comprehending it for more than five thousand years, yet I still can’t characterize the sword intent of the Fifth Sword Realm.”
Lu Changsheng sighed.
This avatar of his had been actively comprehending the Fifth Sword Realm in the cultivation space, and after over five thousand years, it still could not grasp the basics of the Fifth Sword Realm.
Although the avatar’s cultivation level is only one-tenth of his main body, the understanding of the Dao is the same.
Under normal circumstances, only a genius at the Divine King Realm of sword dao might hope to grasp the Fifth Sword Realm.
Lin Xuantong also needed to endure injuries just to reluctantly execute the techniques of the Fifth Sword Realm.
For Lu Changsheng, to forcefully comprehend the Fifth Sword Realm at the Immortal Emperor Realm, one can imagine the difficulties involved.
“There’s still a little over a thousand years left; I wonder if obtaining the third Sword Dao Divine Fruit could help in comprehension?”
Lu Changsheng continued to contemplate the Fifth Sword Realm.
Even if he couldn’t grasp the basics of the Fifth Sword Realm in the last thousand years, this would still substantially enhance his own strength.
Entering the top thirty-two were all monstrous talents of the Immortal Realm.
Among the camps of the Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, and the Immortal Dynasty, there were Holy Land geniuses like Yan Zhiqiu, Lu Changsheng, Lin Qinghan, Xia Ningxue, Chen Jinxia, as well as experts from Prestigious Families like Long Tianyuan of the Ancient Dragon Clan, Helian Ba of the Ancient Helian Clan, and also a Prince from the Immortal Dynasty.
