Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two advanced did not enter the arena, but a few intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds were eager to display their strength, hoping to gain the attention of the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom in order to follow the messenger back to the kingdom’s capital. After all, if they managed to catch his attention, their lives would be changed.

For half a day, a group of intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds tried to perform their best during their fights. A few of them even managed to garner praise from the messenger of the Righteous Kingdom.

“Come to the capital to look for me once you become an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds. I’ll make some arrangements for you at that time.”

Contrary to the expectations of the intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds, the messenger of the Righteous Kingdom had no intention of bringing them back to the capital with him. He only told those who caught his attention to look for him in the capital after they became advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. This was not what the intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds wanted at all. Once they became an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, even the weakest one would be able to easily gain a position from the Lord of the Divine Kingdom. Moreover, most of them were not willing to serve the Lord of the Divine Kingdom even if they were advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. What they wanted was to become a subordinate of the messenger of the Righteous Kingdom so they could obtain resources that would quickly help them become advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.

While the intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds were battling in the arena, another advanced Emperor of G.o.ds arrived. He was a sectless capital from the Divine Spirit Mansion as well.

!!

Most people present did not recognize the advanced Emperor of G.o.ds when they saw him.

w.a.n.g Chun glanced at the advanced Emperor of G.o.ds before he said, “He’s not Old Xu. I’ve heard of him before. If the rumors are true, he’s not stronger than Hu Dong Lan and the other advanced Emperor of G.o.ds.”

With this, there were now three advanced Emperors of G.o.ds who showed up to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion to become the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. Needless to say, the crowd antic.i.p.ated tomorrow’s fights even more.

…

At midnight.

The compet.i.tion was still ongoing, and most people present on the scene were bored and falling asleep.

Suddenly…

Swoos.h.!.+

Hu Dong Lan suddenly flew into the arena. He looked at the strongest intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds and said indifferently, “You’re no match for me.”

Hu Dong Lan’s opponent hesitated for a moment. However, before he could surrender, Hu Dong Lan suddenly threw out a punch.

Bang!

The void shook as a terrifying Divine Energy imbued with the law swept toward the intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds. Afterimages of Hu Dong Lan’s fist could be seen before the energy it swept out.

The intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds had prepared to surrender when he saw Hu Dong Lan entering the arena. However, as the strongest intermediate Lord of G.o.ds so far, he was curious about the difference between his and Hu Dong Lan’s strength. After all, he knew Hu Dong Lan was only considered average among advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. However, he regretted his brief hesitation as he defended Hu Dong Lan’s attack. Despite mustering up all his strength, his defenses were crushed in just an instant. He cried out hastily, “I surrender!”

Although the intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds surrendered, Hu Dong Lan did not withdraw his attack. The wave of energy landed on the intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds and sent the intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds flying back, out of the arena.

The intermediate Emperor of G.o.d’s face was ashen as he tried to regain his footing in the air. His energy was greatly weakened at this moment. He looked as though he was going to pa.s.s out at any moment. He did not hesitate as he quickly brought out and consumed a few healing divine pills. Fortunately, it did not take long before he felt better.

After witnessing Hu Dong Lan soundly defeating the intermediate Emperor of G.o.ds, the crowd finally realized how strong Hu Dong Lan was despite being only average among advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. With his display of strength, the other intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds, who had yet to step into the arena, no longer dared to step into the arena.

“He’s so strong!”

“As expected of an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds!”

“No one is a match for Lord Hu except for the other advanced Emperor of G.o.ds present on the scene!”

“Isn’t that obvious? Lord Hu is an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, after all. Moreover, he also has a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul!”

“With this, the other two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds should be entering the arena soon as well, right?”

The crowd’s attention quickly s.h.i.+fted to the two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds present on the scene. However, it seemed like the duo did not have any intention of making a move. Perhaps, they were each waiting for the other person to make a move first. After all, the rule of the compet.i.tion made it such that it was more advantageous to enter the arena later.

At this time, a burst of laughter rang thunderously from the distance.

“Hu Dong Lan, I’ll fight you!”

Subsequently, a burly figure shrouded in flames appeared.

As soon as the newcomer arrived, the crowd could feel the scorching heat. It was as though they were right in front of the sun.

“An advanced Emperor of G.o.ds who comprehends the law of fire…”

Without needing to use his Divine Consciousness, Duan Ling Tian could naturally sense the aura of the advanced Emperor of G.o.ds who just arrived and that the other party comprehended the law of fire.

The burly figure belonged to a middle-aged man dressed in a red long robe. His beard and his hair were unkempt, and they were fiery red as well. His large eyes stared at Hu Dong Lan pointedly as soon as he arrived.

On the other hand, Hu Dong Lan frowned slightly as soon as he saw the middle-aged man. Before he could say a word, the middle-aged man attacked,

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Flames surged in the air, forming a giant net as they swept toward Hu Dong Lan.

Following that, a red six-foot-long saber with a mysterious aura appeared in the middle-aged man’s hand.

…

While Hu Dong Lan and the middle-aged man were fighting, people finally began to recognize the middle-aged man.

“It’s Cheng Yan!”

“Cheng Yan is a famous sectless advanced Emperor of G.o.ds in the Divine Spirit Mansion. However, I thought he left this place a long time ago…”

“That’s right. No one has heard from him over the last few hundred years.”

“Cheng Yan’s fame wasn’t inferior to that of Hu Dong Lan a few hundred years ago!”

“I heard that the both of them sparred in the past, and the fight ended in a tie.”

…

Hu Dong Lan was no pushover. Although Cheng Yan took the initiative to attack first, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position.

The two fought continuously, releasing terrifying shockwaves into the surroundings. Fortunately, the arena was shrouded with a Formation, absorbing most of the shockwaves and protecting the crowd.

Cheng Yan laughed. “Hu Dong Lan, you haven’t improved much after all these years! If this is the extent of your strength, prepare to suffer a defeat!”

As he spoke, Cheng Yan’s Divine Energy began to surge as the flames around him surged higher into the sky.

Swoos.h.!.+

The flames in the air gathered, forming a huge fiery saber. Its appearance made everything in the surroundings pale in comparison. It fell toward Hu Dong Lan, looking as though it would cut down everything that stood in its way.

Hu Dong Lan’s expression turned grim immediately. He did not expect his opponent, whom he was on par with, had now surpa.s.sed him. Moreover, he could tell Cheng Yan had yet to unleash his full strength. Nonetheless, he had no intention of surrendering. Instead, he began to mobilize all his energy to retaliate.

Boom!

Alas, Hu Dong Lan’s effort was futile. In just a moment, Cheng Yan’s fiery saber destroyed Hu Dong Lan’s counterattack and sent Hu Dong Lan out of the arena.

After Hu Dong Lan stabilized his footing, he looked up. His face was slightly pale, and blood could be seen at the corner of his lips, but he was mostly fine. He had quickly used his Divine Energy to remove the blood, but the crowd had already noticed it.

A few people sighed. They did not expect Hu Dong Lan to be defeated so quickly.

“Hu Dong Lan is defeated!”

At the same time, the expressions of the other two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds were rather grim, clearly feeling pressured. The duo began to communicate through Voice Transmission.

“Do you have the confidence to defeat Cheng Yan? I’m not 100% confident about facing Hu Dong Lan, let alone Cheng Yan.”

“Me too…”

“Since that’s the case, let’s make a deal. One of us will challenge Cheng Yan first to exhaust him so the following person will have a higher chance of defeating him next.”

“Alright. However, how do we decide who attacks first and who reaps the reward at the end?”

“I’m willing to go first if you offer something in exchange…”

The two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds quickly came to an agreement soon after. Following that, one of them flew into the arena to challenge Cheng Yan. As expected, he was defeated, but he successfully exhausted Cheng Yan’s energy.

The fight caused Cheng Yan to exhaust about the same amount of energy he had used during his fight with Hu Dong Lan. It was not difficult for him to figure out that the two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds had come to an agreement. As he consumed his healing divine pills, he looked at the duo and thought to himself, ‘It seems like the both of them came to an agreement…’

“Cheng Yan!”

As expected, the other advanced Emperor of G.o.ds flew into the arena.

At this moment, the sun was slowly rising on the horizon. It was as if the entire land was sparkling with golden light at this time.

Cheng Yan was now going to have to face the remaining advanced Emperor of G.o.ds present on the scene after consecutively defeating two advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.

Upon seeing this, w.a.n.g Chun shook his head and said, “The other advanced Emperor of G.o.ds was trying to exhaust Cheng Yan’s energy. I wonder if it’ll greatly affect Cheng Yan’s performance now. If it doesn’t, Cheng Yan will definitely become the winner of the compet.i.tion!”
