Chapter 1890: Chapter 1380: The Contest Platform Rises

Above Taitian City.

Void fluctuations, anomalies swirling, in just a moment, golden clouds stretched out, endless rays of light beaming down.

Hundreds of flowing divine patterns, entwined with dragon and phoenix, spewed from the light into the sky, interlaced and joined, forming a colossal sky arena in an instant!

Drums beat, Golden Gate glows, and ten thousand golden lights spread from this arena as the center, soon reflecting a blurry scene across the entire sky.

"The Contest Platform has risen!"

"The rumored Contest Platform? The battle of the kings is truly about to begin!"

From Drunken Immortal Pavilion and throughout Taitian City, numerous cultivators are eagerly looking toward the majestic, golden light-emitting Contest Platform in the sky.

Before Su Yuan, Li Bowen, the "local tyrant," explained to his friends: "According to family records, as long as one is at King Level in Central State, upon hearing the sound of the drum and seeing the light from Golden Gate, it is easy to ascend the Contest Platform and participate in the battle of the kings.

The Contest Platform is incredibly magical; kings do not need to physically be present; they can rely on Golden Gate to visualize themselves and join the battle in the form of an ’avatar’ through divine thought transformation.

Therefore, all kings can freely exert themselves, without worrying about injuring others and forming enmity."

Everyone nodded quietly upon hearing this.

Just as Li Bowen said, throughout Central State, various king level cultivators can sense the traction from the Contest Platform above with their divine thoughts.

With a mere thought, the light of Golden Gate shines down, dense golden light engulfs them, and they ascend into the sky led by the Contest Platform’s traction!

In an instant, numerous avatars wrapped in radiant light rise from all directions like stars converging towards the Contest Platform.

Sword Emperor City, Star Hunting Pavilion, Dan Ding Building... Seven forces’ kings have already prepared and ascended to the platform together.

"Dongfang Chuixue from Sword Emperor City has already gone up the Contest Platform first!"

"And the Saintess Nangong Zhu’er from Qie Yue Palace, the Heavenly Hunter Ye Xuzi from Star Hunting Pavilion, Great Demon King Wang Yiyang from Nine Layers of Sea..."

Inside Xuan Character Building, local cultivators from Central State are as familiar as family with these top experts.

Among the crowd, a careless, well-informed old man, with good wine and meat, eloquently introduced various cultivators like a storyteller.

"Qie Yue Palace’s signature Divine Skill [Deficient Moon Treasure Manual] is immensely powerful, extraordinarily wondrous, capable of unleashing power beyond Ninth Stage Limit, but at times, it leads to a ’Weakness Period’ where cultivation drops significantly!

Nangong Zhu’er must have passed through the weakness period in preparation for the battle of the kings."

"Ye Xuzi cultivated the [Star God Technique], reportedly shattered hundreds of stars in other worlds to extract Star Souls, developed the Star God Body, and once punched and repelled ten High Stage King Levels!"

At this moment, in the direction of Martial God Mountain, a slightly wild-looking youth with dark skin and long hair, together with several king levels from Martial God Mountain, ascends.

A middle-aged cultivator questioned, "Hmm? I remember Martial God Mountain had Yun Tianhe and Ning Chong, two overlords; who is that person? I’ve never seen him before."

The careless old man chuckled and said, "Yun Tianhe, Ning Chong? Hey, young friend, have you been in seclusion too long? Haven’t you heard of the Martial God’s chase order from three years ago?"

The middle-aged cultivator felt embarrassed, cupped his hands and said, "I am ignorant, please inform me, elder."

Indeed, Cangding Seven States are vast, for many Radiant Moon and Shining Star Levels, they might never step out of their home state in a lifetime. So, many are not well-informed about other states and curiously look at the old man.

The careless old man seeing this, smiled and gulped down a sip of wine and said, "Three or four years ago, Martial God Mountain’s two overlords went to a Secret Realm in Yu State to collect Hongmeng Purple Qi for increasing strength, but encountered the Blood Shadow Hall’s Great Demon King Jian Zizai and both died!

Later, Martial God Mountain in rage not only mobilized Emperor Levels to search but also issued the Martial God chase order, inviting Seven States’ experts to hunt the Great Demon King Jian Zizai, yet couldn’t find a trace of him..."

"Hmm? Such a thing happened!"

"Jian Zizai is so formidable, able to kill both Martial God Mountain overlords??"

Everyone was greatly amazed.

The old man laughed, "You don’t know then! It’s rumored that Martial God Mountain found Jian Zizai’s Blood Shadow Hall lair, but discovered the entire Blood Shadow Hall had been sacrificed, deducing that Jian Zizai likely mastered a Pseudo Domain through some evil ritual!"

"Pseudo Domain? No wonder!"

"Masters of Pseudo Domain are extremely rare, Jian Zizai being ranked around the teens among overlords, mastering Pseudo Domain could place him among Super Overlords, killing two Martial God Mountain overlords is no surprise!"

"Without a doubt, Jian Zizai’s talent and ruthlessness are unparalleled, but he is unfortunately a merciless Great Demon King..."

"It has been years, yet still no sign of him; who knows if he’ll appear in this battle of the kings..."

Everyone listened with great interest, leading to heated discussion.

Someone continued to ask, "So who is Martial God Mountain’s representative now?"

"No idea~" The old man shook his head, chuckling slyly, "Either a Hidden Cultivator expert or an expert from Outer Heaven~"

"Outer Heaven??"

...

"They’re from Dong You Realm."

At Su Yuan’s table, Li Qin, as the Great Alchemist from Dan Ding Building, was the most informed, quietly informed Li Bowen and others:

"The person from Martial God Mountain seems to be a King Level found in Dong You Realm."

Everyone was quite surprised: "King Level from Dong You Realm?"

Li Qin glanced around, transmitted with divine thought: "In recent years, pressure from Silver Universe seems significant. The front lines keep retreating, leading some King Levels from fallen areas to directly retreat to our Cangding.
