Chapter 689: Chapter 689: The Struggle of the Domain Lord
Thus, nearly every top-tier powerful figure amongst the prodigies comes from Central Province!
Even when combined, the other eight provinces cannot contend with Central Province!
"My name is Xiao Chusheng, like the two Sect Masters, you may simply call me Young Master Xiao," Xiao Chusheng said with a smile.
As for Ling Chen, he was cast aside by him.
Pavilion Master Liu Xiao and Ye Tianjun both looked on, dumbfounded.
These words clearly excluded Ling Chen.
With Ling Chen’s talent, he didn’t catch the eye of the prestigious Patrol Envoy?
It must be known that Ling Chen is from Qing Province!
Entirely different from Shen Xing.
"I understand now!"
Ye Tianjun quickly came to a realization.
Had Ling Chen remained a King, Xiao Chusheng would definitely have valued him highly.
Because such talent, capable of fighting across major realms, is precisely the kind sought after and nurtured by the Lord Governor.
But Ling Chen was too anxious.
He actually advanced to the World Realm!
Both are of the World Realm, yet their strengths are entirely different.
Because within the World Realm, there are different levels.
With Ling Chen’s talent, under the guidance of the State Governor, it’s feared he could have evolved a Perfect World!
But now, by his own decision, he has at most reached a Super World.
In the eyes of a prominent figure like the State Governor, missing one level means a vast difference.
It’s almost akin to fading into the crowd.
In the entire Qing Province, there are not a few talents who can fight across the King and Emperor realms, although rare in the Eastern Domain.
Nearly every individual carefully cultivated by large families and powerful forces possesses such ability.
Ling Chen, in this manner, has essentially wasted his own talent, no wonder the Patrol Envoy disregarded him.
Had the Patrol Envoy favored Ling Chen, it would have been inconvenient for him to make a move against Ling Chen.
But now, this problem no longer exists.
"Liu Xiao and Ling Chen, just wait for your demise!" Ye Tianjun sneered inside.
Liu Xiao too quickly came to the realization.
He had not expected that Ling Chen’s promotion to the World Realm would actually result in disfavor.
However, it didn’t matter, as once Ling Chen showed his true strength, the Patrol Envoy would surely change his attitude.
A Perfect World!
Even the State Governor might not be able to cultivate it!
The group laughed and engaged in conversation.
Ling Chen was outright ignored.
However, Ling Chen didn’t care.
At noon.
Led by Xiao Chusheng, followed closely by Ye Tianjun and Liu Xiao, teams from the Emperor Realm flew ten miles away from the Burning Flame Sect.
Here stood two towering peaks!
One peak is named Ascension.
The other is named Pinnacle.
Derived from the phrase "reaching the pinnacle of success."
And these two peaks are the location of the battle for Domain Lordship.
At this moment, countless cultivators surrounded the two peaks, densely packed like ants.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of light passed through the sky, eventually coming to a halt between the two peaks.
"I, Xiao Chusheng, Patrol Envoy, acting upon the State Governor’s orders, am here to inspect the Eastern Domain! Today, the master of the Eastern Domain for the next hundred years will be determined here. Now, within the Eastern Domain, there are only two major sects, so the Domain Lord will emerge from either the Burning Flame Sect or Star Pavilion."
Xiao Chusheng’s voice rang out.
Hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down, their eyes burning with eagerness as they gazed at Xiao Chusheng.
When they saw just how young the Patrol Envoy was, everyone was shocked.
To preside over the battle for Domain Lordship, his cultivation must not be far behind, right?
"Ye Tianjun, Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect, and Liu Xiao, Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, please ascend the peaks now, as the battle for Domain Lordship is about to begin!"
Xiao Chusheng looked towards the two.
"Yes!"
Both Ye Tianjun and Liu Xiao flew towards a peak each.
Ye Tianjun stood atop Ascension.
While Liu Xiao stood at the summit of Pinnacle.
The two stood opposite each other!
"Begin!"
Seeing that both were in position, Xiao Chusheng didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately announced the start of the battle for Domain Lordship!
And he retreated towards the back.
Retreated to three hundred meters away.
The Emperors of the Burning Flame Sect and Star Pavilion stand in the Void, each near the peak or the summit, cheering their respective Sect Masters on!
While other spectating Cultivators were scattered around the sky.
The entire sky was nearly filled.
How could they miss the grandest event in the Eastern Domain?
Even some young men and women of the True Essence Realm, and even the Primordial Pill Realm, came over.
Everyone watched the two towering figures on the peaks with fiery eyes!
"Liu Xiao, are you ready to die?"
Ye Tianjun licked his lips, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.
Months ago, they battled, using the Blood Sacrifice Technique, and still, there was no victor.
But now, he was confident he could slay Liu Xiao with his sword!
Because he was at the Sixth Layer of the World Realm!
From the late Fifth Layer to the early Sixth Layer of the World Realm might seem like a minor improvement.
But the difference was like heaven and earth.
The strength of the World Power alone was on a different level!
Once they clashed, the superior and inferior were immediately distinguishable.
"How dare I compete with you? Perhaps you should be the one to go on ahead!"
Liu Xiao sneered.
Back then, Ye Tianjun besieged his Star Pavilion for several months; had it not been for the Circulation Star Array and the endless Spiritual Energy of the Dragon Vein, they might have been killed long ago.
How could such enmity go unavenged?
"Humph!"
Ye Tianjun snorted coldly, "With your level of strength, you dare compete with me for the position of Domain Lord?"
"Boom!"
As his words fell, Ye Tianjun’s body shook, and a more powerful aura swept out.
"Sixth Layer of the World Realm!"
"The Sect Master actually advanced to the Sixth Layer of the World Realm?"
"Haha! This time, the Star Pavilion is doomed!"
"Yes, even with Shen Xing and Ling Chen, so what? Can they be a match for our Sect Master?"
...
The Emperors of the Burning Flame Sect were wildly excited.
However, the complexions of the Emperors of the Star Pavilion changed.
The disparity in the Emperor Realm, for each additional layer, wasn’t just in terms of Spiritual Power, but also in World Power!
Only Ling Chen and Shen Xing remained unperturbed.
"Heh heh!"
Liu Xiao scoffed and said, "I thought you had some kind of reliance? But you’ve only advanced to the Sixth Layer of the World Realm; what’s there to be proud of?"
"Boom!"
Liu Xiao similarly revealed all of his cultivation.
"Sixth Layer of the World Realm?!"
Ye Tianjun’s eyes narrowed, his face showing disbelief.
He hadn’t expected Liu Xiao to have also advanced!
And the laughter of the Emperors of the Burning Flame Sect stopped short, as if their throats had been clutched.
"Haha! A crooked person getting his way!"
"Just the Sixth Layer, isn’t our Pavilion Master the same?"
"Just a bunch of idiots!"
...
The Emperors of the Star Pavilion jeered.
"Enough, Ye Tianjun, you’ve held the position of Domain Lord for so many years now, it’s time to step down!"
Liu Xiao sneered coldly.
A silver long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, distinctly a Mid-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon!
"If you want this position of Domain Lord, let’s see if you have the ability to take it!"
Ye Tianjun spoke coldly.
He too drew a mid-grade King Spiritual Weapon level Red Long Sword from his hand!
"Kill!"
The two charged at each other almost instantaneously.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The two clashed wildly in the air.
They didn’t use any Spirit Arts, relying solely on Spiritual Power, World Power, and Sword Intent to clash!
Even so, every time they clashed, the Void trembled, with countless black lines spreading out.
Terrifying shockwaves also swept out all around.
Because the two of them clashed too quickly, the shockwave from one collision hadn’t dissipated before it was chased by the shockwave from the next.
A succession of terrifying storms formed!
