Hiss!

When everyone saw the introduction of Chu Ming on the Transcendence List, they couldn't help but gasp. The prodigies were originally strong, but this Chu Ming clearly stepped on these prodigies to rise to the top.

"Incredible, truly incredible. This Chu Ming must possess the form of a True Dragon!"

An elderly man with white hair looked at the Transcendence List for a long time, then raised his head to the sky and sighed.

The changes on the Transcendence List caused a huge sensation throughout the Celestial Martial Continent. After all, the top few on the Transcendence List were almost certain to become Kings of the Life and Death Realm in the future. Every move they made was closely watched by countless martial artists.

However, Chu Ming was unaware of everything happening in the outside world. At this moment, he was calming his mind to continue his cultivation. The abundant spiritual power from the top-grade spirit stone poured into his Sea of Spiritual Power.

...

Iron River City, an insignificant small city in the Central Divine Domain, with the strongest person only being at the Second Heaven of the Realm of Transcendence. However, even a Ninth Layer strong person of the Realm of Transcendence would not dare to be presumptuous in Iron River City.

Because there was a family in Iron River City that they could not afford to provoke — the Ling Family!

The Ling Family was originally a small family that could barely survive by attaching itself to the Wanshan Pavilion. But ten years ago, the Ling Family produced an extraordinary genius, changing everything.

That extraordinary genius was Ling Yun. No one would have expected that the leader of the three giants of the present day, and the top talent on the Transcendence List, would come from a family in a small city.

Initially, Ling Yun's talent was not apparent, but after a severe illness at the age of fifteen, he recovered and began his seemingly cheat-like life. At sixteen, he became the first genius in Iron River City, at seventeen he entered Wanshan City, at eighteen he joined the Inner Sect of Wanshan City and became the core disciple. By the age of twenty, he was one of the three giants, and at twenty-one, after a battle with the Snow Demon Immortal in the Holy City, he became the leader of the three giants.

Looking at his life, it is filled with legendary colors. Some said that during his severe illness at the age of fifteen, he met a mysterious strong person who personally took him as a disciple. Others said that he awakened his ancestral bloodline at fifteen and that the illness was only a side effect of the bloodline awakening. As for the detailed process, perhaps only he knows the truth.

Since Ling Yun became the core disciple of the Wanshan Pavilion, the status of the Ling Family naturally rose. Since Ling Yun became the leader of the three giants, his status in the Wanshan Pavilion was second only to the ancestor of the Life and Death Realm.

Currently, Ling Yun held the position of Inner Sect Elder in the Wanshan Pavilion. Even the Pavilion Master of the Wanshan Pavilion had to be polite when meeting Ling Yun.

"Yun'Er, this Battle for the King is related to your future cultivation. As long as you can crush the geniuses from various paths in the Battle for the King, seizing their fortunes, you will surely become an emperor in the future, bringing the Wanshan Pavilion to a new height."

In the back mountain of the Wanshan Pavilion, a withered old man in a yellow robe said calmly to a young man in a purple robe, his tone filled with hope.

The young man in the purple robe had a cold expression, his eyes sparkling like stars. Standing there, he seemed to be the core of the entire space, frantically devouring the surrounding spiritual power.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Upon hearing the words of the ancestor of the Wanshan Pavilion, Ling Yun's expression remained unchanged, his heart was like still water. Perhaps nothing in this world could cause a ripple in his mental realm anymore.

"Hmm, go, and show those blind fools your brilliance!"

The withered old man in the yellow robe had a wooden expression. The essence and blood in his body seemed to have long since ceased to exist, but anyone could feel the vast and powerful energy contained within him.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this half month, the Celestial Martial List of the Holy Stele was extremely exciting. First, with the arrival of Ling Yun, he ranked 321st on the Celestial Martial List with 370,000 points, shocking the entire continent. Even the Life and Death Palace offered olive branches to Ling Yun, willing to take him as a direct disciple, but were all rejected by Ling Yun.

After that, the top ten geniuses on the Transcendence List arrived in the Holy City one after another, such as Liu Shengchuan and Fire God Ning Lie. Their arrival once again refreshed the Transcendence List. Coupled with the successive strong players, Chu Ming's ranking on the Celestial Martial List of the Holy Stele dropped to 615th, even Immortal Changqing surpassed him again.

Boom!

That day, a terrifying golden light suddenly rose into the sky, like a great sun hanging in the sky, the golden rays illuminating half of the Central Divine Domain!

Dong dong dong...

The sound of a bell rang in everyone's ears. This bell, ordinary people couldn't hear, only martial artists with a cultivation level above the Guiyuan Realm could perceive it, and it was extremely clear.

"The Heavenly Extreme Environment is about to open!"

Kings of the Life and Death Realm distributed all over the continent rushed to the Central Divine Domain, eager to witness the grand event!

In a manor, at the moment the bell rang, Chu Ming's cultivation progress was forcibly interrupted, making him have to withdraw from the state of cultivation.

"Has the Battle for the King finally begun?"

Chu Ming looked up, staring at the Life and Death Tower above him. A blazing light suddenly shot out from his eyes. The Battle for the King was an opportunity for him. Moreover, he could clash with various prodigies during this process. Just thinking about it made Chu Ming's blood boil with excitement.

Swish!

Chu Ming's body suddenly shot out from the manor. At this moment, in the sky above the Holy City, a plaza hundreds of miles wide appeared out of thin air in the space. On it were golden shadow seats, a banner hanging from the sky, glittering with golden light, with dense characters appearing on it, stretching for dozens of meters. If one looked closely, they would find that the small characters on it were the names of various prodigies.

This long horizontal line was the list of prodigies in the Battle for the King, allowing various forces to keep track of their geniuses at all times!

And those golden shadow seats in the plaza were for the audience, allowing them to watch the performances of the prodigies in the Heavenly Extreme Environment up close.

In the past, the seats on the plaza were allocated according to the number of prodigies a sect had in the battle, so most of the seats were in the hands of the two provinces, three palaces, and four pavilions of the Central Divine Domain. This time was no exception.

At this moment, in an inn in the Holy City, several martial artists in white robes gathered in a room, their faces calm, as if waiting for something!

Tap tap tap...

A burst of footsteps suddenly rang out from outside the room, sounding extremely chaotic, causing everyone inside to frown.

"The Grand Elder is usually calm, why is he entering this way?"

Yan Nanxing, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Travel Sect, looked hesitant. Sitting in the chief seat was an elderly man with white hair and a shriveled face, exuding a strong Wood Elemental Power. He was none other than Chu Ming's master, Qingxuan King, a half-step King of the Life and Death Realm!
