Chapter 1081: The New Kings

In the depths of the Daluo Territory, silhouettes roared from all sides. Finally, the square, which had been opened up from the top of a giant peak, was occupied.

Compared to a year ago, it was obvious that there had been earth-shaking changes in the Daluo Territory. At this time, the scale of the square was now the most prominent place within the entire region of the Daluo Territory.

This was because at every Conference of the Lords, a new king was crowned. This position was very important because, only by becoming king, could one have the qualifications to develop their own powers, while at the same time being able to obtain more resources from the Daluo Territory.

Thus, looking across the entire region, countless strong men were eyeing the king position. Apparently, the battle for the role was even more intense than it had been a year ago!

In the past, as long as one’s strength had reached the rank of a Fifth Grade Sovereign, it was deemed as an adequate qualification to compete. Yet now, unless one was a Seventh Grade Sovereign, he would have no courage to fight for it.

At the moment, the huge square was filled with voices, and from time to time, in the distant sky, there would be a great number of silhouettes roaring by. Although these silhouettes’ auras were far away, they would attract envious eyes in the square, for in Daluotian, only those who were qualified to travel with such entourages were the various lords and kings.

These silhouettes landed directly at the most central area of the square, which was considered to be the core of the Daluo Territory, amid countless envious glances. What was most conspicuous about the central area was the golden throne at the end of the stone ladder, which seemed to have a sort of inexplicable majesty. Even if it stood quietly, it still garnered countless awed glances from the crowd.

Upon the throne, the Dominator, who was the strongest existence in the North Territory, was perched. Below the golden throne, there were three silver thrones shining in the sun, all of which were equally striking. Within these three thrones, sat three people, who had their eyes slightly closed.

This trio was naturally the three kings, who were able to hold such a position from the very beginning, as they had fought together with Mandela to build an empire. Below the three Kings were a great number of stone thrones, upon which sat extraordinary figures of men, all of whom radiated great spiritual powers.

These were the Lords of the Daluo Territory. Among these lords, the most striking and unexpected ones were not Lord Asura and Lord Mountain Cracker, but the two figures in the front.

One of the figures was old and thin. He looked as if he were withering, as his eyes were drooping and he seemed feeble. However, he still emanated a palpable and oppressive aura. This man was known as the Withered Old Man.

On the right side of the Withered Old Man was a middle-aged man with a solid body, built like an iron tower. He sat on one side of the Withered Old Man, the shadow of his body covering the Withered Old Man entirely.

His arm was particularly unique, as it seemed to be several times thicker than the average person’s. His wide palms hung casually to one side, but if one looked carefully, they would see that, when his fingers moved, there was a faint sonic boom that rang out, as if they had enough destructive power to crush mountains!

This man, known as Dragon-Arm Sovereign, was also an extremely powerful person in the North Territory. It is said that his skill cultivation was very unique, and that he had implanted a pair of dragon arms into himself, refining them into his own arms! This had allowed him to have the strength of the Dragon Clan!

The strength of these two men, both of whom were the firsts to enter the rank of Ninth Grade Sovereign, far outstripped the other Lords of the Daluo Territory. As such, even the strongest of the Lords, such as Lord Asura, could only be subordinate to them.

Of course, the two men obviously did not hold the lord position in high regard. They talked and laughed with each other, but occasionally, their sweeping gazes passed through the three figures on the silver thrones in front of them, and when they did, deep in their eyes, an eager provocation and unruly defiance flashed.

This was because, in their views, they were not inferior to the three Kings in the Daluo Territory. Moreover, except for the Sleeping King, who looked perpetually drowsy and gave them a vague feeling of fear, neither of the other two kings intimidated them whatsoever.

With such strengths, they naturally coveted the king position, as it was the only one that could match their prowesses. Above their silver thrones, the Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King also sensed these two subtle yet provocative glances. Although their faces remained nonchalant, they hummed coldly in their hearts.

As the veteran subjects of the Daluo Territory, they were naturally aware of the fierce competition that had grown over the past year, such that even their positions were beginning to be coveted. As such, they could not claim that others were not qualified to covet their positions, for the reputation of the Withered Old Man and the Dragon-Arm Sovereign was indeed stronger than their own.
