829 Emperor Intent Starting to Awaken (2/2)
Voices sounded from various people. Jiu Wuji soon chose ten elites, half of which were half-step Kings.
This group was made up of younger elites and older elites, and the weakest had the power of a half-step King.
In this period of time, some of the other forces around the crater used similar methods. In front of a hill was the force from the Duanmu Family, which was led by Zhao Yufei and the elder in green robes.
”The Ancient God's Mysterious Palace ahead is extremely dangerous, and there's also the threat of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Duanmu Family will only choose about ten elites,” the elder in green robes said.
The Ancient God's Mysterious Palace was attractive, and many people were willing to take the risk. The ten spots were soon confirmed.
”Yufei, you have the Spiritual Race bloodline. Even without the fortune in the Ancient God's Mysterious Palace, your future is destined to fly up into the Nine Heavens….” The green-robed elder tried to stop her.
From his perspective, the Spiritual Race bloodline was favored by Heaven and Earth and was extremely compatible with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. She didn't need to take such a huge risk. On the other hand, other geniuses wouldn't have any hope of breaking through to higher realms if they didn't fight for it. Some wouldn't even be able to become Kings.
”I also need to fight for the fortune in the Ancient God's Mysterious Palace. If I don't even have that amount of courage, how will I revive the Duanmu Family and catch up to his footsteps?” Zhao Yufei's eyes twinkled with decisiveness.
”His?” The elder in green robes had nothing to say back to her. This was the will of an expert. The reason an expert could be called an expert was not just because they were strong, it was also because they had a strong heart.
In addition, a strong heart could nurture one's mind.
The green-robed elder was interested in this ”him” that Zhao Yufei wanted to catch up to.
In the depths of a scorched, dragon-shaped crater, many small groups gathered. They were all elites.
”This should be the entrance to the Ancient God's Mysterious Palace. The Black Serpent Dragon should have entered from here,” the Eighth Prince said.
”So, the Ancient God's Mysterious Palace is underground in the depths of the crater….” The purple-and-gold-robed Thirteenth Prince gave a light laugh.
This group belonged to the Great Gan Imperials. The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, Luo Zun, the wrinkled elder… they were all elite Kings and half-step Kings. The imperial group had more than twenty people, and the weakest of them was at the half-step King level.
”Opposite us is the force from the Sky Suspension Palace. Don't get cocky,” the Ninth Prince said in a solemn tone.
Amongst them, the Ninth Prince was the strongest and most talented, and he had recovered from his injuries from the Blue Serpent King's pursuit.
”Sky Suspension Palace!”
The imperial elites' expressions changed slightly as they glanced toward another group.
On the opposite side of the dragon-shaped hole was another group. They had more than twenty people, and the person with the lowest cultivation was at the half-step King level as well.
They had three Void God Realm Kings. One was a handsome and elegant youth who had reached the Peak-tier King level. Next to him were a male and female who were both Domain-level Kings.
”The Sky Suspension Palace indeed sent out Xuanyuan Wen, ranked 7th on the Imperial Genius rankings.”
”He's only twenty-something years old and has already reached the Peak-tier King level. Such talent is unparalleled.”
Members of the imperial group couldn't help but sigh as their gazes landed on the elegant youth from the Sky Suspension Palace. The Sky Suspension Palace was a four-star power and had a long history. The amount of four-star powers could be counted with one hand.
”Xuanyuan Wen is ranked 7th in the Imperial Genius rankings, and he should be the strongest genius that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension….” The Ninth Prince's eyes glittered as battle-intent shot out of them.
At this moment in time, the two forces of the Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials were next to the dragon-shaped entrance, and they had sent in some people with unique abilities inside to scout it out.
”I heard that the 9th-ranked Blue Serpent King appeared around here, but no one has found him since.” The youth in white silk behind Xuanyuan Wen had a thoughtful expression.
Wei Jing came from the four-star Dark Capital Cult of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, and he was a powerful foe of Xuanyuan Wen. Although Wei Jing was ranked 9th compared to Xuanyuan Wen's 7, no one knew who would win or lose in a fight to the death since their ranks were determined by the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.
”I think Senior Martial Brother Zhuge's worry is a bit too much. Because of where the Divine Illusion Dimension connected, only a small number of King geniuses from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty managed to enter. Although Wei Jing is strong, he won't dare to fight against this many of us.” A female in apricot robes smiled, and everyone from the Sky Suspension Palace agreed with her.
The place where the Divine Illusion Dimension connected determined who could enter and where they ended up. If one inspected closely, they would realize that the forces that were around this area were mainly from the center region of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, such as the imperials and the Eight Big Families. As for Void God Realms, if they used a secret method to enter, they would end up in a random area, but it wouldn't be too far away.
Around the crater, the elites of some forces were slowly moving forward. After the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had entered, there was no more movement from it.
In a hidden cave at the edges of the crater, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sat down, and their auras were starting to rise.
”I'm just a little bit away from breaking through to the late stages of the Void God Realm….” The purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon on Nan Gongsheng's forehead blinked wickedly.
Right at this moment:
Boom!
A strong surge of Intent that could shake Heaven and Earth suddenly seemed to break through a barrier and thunder down like lightning. It had an aura of immortality, and it seemed like it could counter anything in the world.
Nan Gongsheng's soul shook and trembled. His blood started to boil, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This aura came from right next to him.
