Chapter 464: Dragon King Physique
The three princes and Feiyun were taken to four different areas of the fifth continent.
At this moment, Feiyun was located at the most eastern place. There were lightning and thunder as far as the eye can see. Occasionally, some large mountains would be destroyed while the earth cracked to pieces. This landform was very unstable. In fact, the entire place could collapse at any moment.
This was a mid-level spatial realm so it was very unstable, not suitable for human habitation before terraforming.
“The royal clan has been around for more than six thousand years so there are too many main and side branches. Even blood-brothers could turn into enemies. Moreover, since there are so many generations, it doesn’t matter who becomes the Divine King to them as long as it could strengthen the clan. I have obtained the support of the ancestors after the first two rounds so they told me the truth.”
“Since I have the highest score, the three princes will definitely work together to kill me so I must find and eliminate them one by one before they gather.”
Forty divine intents shot out from the middle of his brows. These powerful and gigantic intents directly covered half of the continent. Two people entered his radius of detection - the eighteenth and seventh princes.
The eighteenth was at the far western, finding a location to hide. He wanted to wait until the other three kill each other before coming out to take advantage of the situation.
Meanwhile, the seventh prince didn’t stop. He was trying to find the other three because he had the lowest point. He needed to kill the others in order to become the king.
“Let’s take down the eighteenth prince first.” Feng Feiyun took out two spirit stones from his spatial storage and held them. Next, he used his Swift Samsara to swiftly run westward.
Due to the pristine nature of this continent, there was virtually no spirit energy here so one needed to absorb them from the stones for battle. Without doing so, one would deplete their physical reserve and die in this place.
Feng Feiyun picked the eighteenth prince because he had fought the guy before and had an understanding of his cultivation. Thus, he wanted to kill the eighteenth prince as fast as possible.
“After I start, the other two will certainly notice. Given their cultivation, they’ll get through thousands of miles in just an hour and I’ll lose for sure fighting against all three. Gotta finish it in one hour then.” Feiyun became even faster, just like a ray of light crossing through the continent.
A bit later on, several top ancestors from the clan also ran to the boundary of the continent. Their divine intents were strong enough to cover the whole place, capable of sensing the four’s actions.
“Each examination for this position is always a bloody battle.” The fifth ancestor lamented.
“We must have the strongest as the Divine King. Remember the astronomical phenomenon? The new Divine King and new emperor must be incredible heroes in order to subdue the world.” The second ancestor spoke with a cold and determined glare.
“Long Chuanfeng wants to abdicate since his lifespan is running out. He wants to cultivate in isolation here and reach the Enlightened Being realm by taking on the Heaven Tribulation within three years.” The third ancestor spoke.
The first ancestor nodded: “He had submitted his abdication request to the Ancestral Committee. Right, one more thing, the Rex Competition between the five dynasties is imminent. The emperor also wants to retreat behind the scene in order to focus on cultivation. After each Rex Competition every five hundred years, the throne might have a new ruler. There are two or three top prodigies capable of shouldering this responsibility right now.”
The other ancestors became serious. The third ancestor said: “The Rex Competition is indeed a grand matter, relating to the prosperity of our dynasty. We should value it more. Looks like the chaos this time isn’t just a coincidence. Some people have calculated the inevitable generational shift in the dynasty and started this whole mess. This will be an unprecedented challenge for us.”
“But it will also be an opportunity for the young ones. Real talents will only shine in a time of chaos. Only someone who had weathered the storm would be able to lead the dynasty to a new height.”
The first ancestor stared at the floating fifth continent with a profound glare: “This successor battle might also determine the potential candidates for the emperor position, to a certain extent. The next Divine King and Jin Emperor must be closely related in order to work together and maintain our prestige.”
The other ancestors all shared the same contemplative look.
Back at the fifth continent, the eighteenth prince was standing at the western edge of the continent. There was a powerful pulling force in this place in the form of flowing strands. These pushing forces emanating from top and bottom acting as a barrier would crush an ordinary person instantly to smithereens.
“Hehe, Seventy-second Brother is so ambitious now, thinking that with the Grand Chancellor and the Crown Prince as his backing, he could take the position of the Divine King for sure. He’ll be the first to be attacked by Feng Feiyun. I’ll wait till both of them are weak then come out to finish them off.” The eighteenth prince raised both hands. A light screen came out of his palms and hovered around his head to protect his body. He then headed for the border of the continent.
