Chapter 279: Chapter 270: The Younger Generation’s Rivalry (13th Update)

Creak, creak!

With every step he took, Mo Wangchen could clearly hear his own bones wailing, as if they might shatter at any moment.

His face aged more rapidly as though his life span was at its end, and he seemed about to die of old age at any moment!

He clenched his teeth and took each laborious step, carrying Yaoyao behind him. Finally, he crossed the Other Shore Bridge and arrived at the other end.

At this moment, Mo Wangchen’s entire skin was left wrinkled, clinging to bone as if it had been drained of all essence. He fell into unconsciousness with no hint of life left in him.

...

Buzz!

After an unknown amount of time, the space on the other side of the bridge gently vibrated, and the next moment, above the endless Heavenly Vault, a giant crack tore open. That was an eye, as though having been in deep sleep for eons, now slowly opening.

That eye conveyed the vicissitudes of the ages, seemingly containing billions of stars within it, like the eye of the heavens itself, commanding respect from anyone who gazed upon it.

"Sigh..."

Faintly, a sigh seemed to pass through, and at the same time, the eye appeared to emit a sense of compassion.

Buzz!

The next moment, the eye closed once again, but at almost the same time, two dazzling beams of light formed pillars that descended from the sky, falling upon the bodies of Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao.

Hiss!

Hiss!

At that instance, Mo Wangchen’s withered body, reduced to nothing but skin and bone, seemed to rejuvenate like the earth in spring, gradually regaining the color of flesh and blood.

This scene occurred in just a few breaths. Soon after, a fine ink-colored silken thread emerged, enveloping both Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao, surrounding them as though they were in cocoons, falling into a deep sleep.

...

One year!

It had been one year since Mo Wangchen entered the Reincarnation Mountain Range.

In a year’s time, the outside world had undergone colossal changes. For some unknown reason, the lands that had been torn apart between the Heavenly Martial Domain and the Jinyang Domain were gradually fused back together, and had now completely vanished.

The countless events that occurred in the Beiming Land during this year were innumerable, and everything seemed different from before.

The name of Piaomiao Saint, Mo Wangchen, having disappeared for a year, had now gradually faded from people’s sight.

Now, in the Beiming Land, people were almost certain that Mo Wangchen had died within Reincarnation Mountain. There was no need to question it; after all, a year had passed, and Mo Wangchen had not returned. The Reincarnation Mountain Range was known for certain death, and it had always been this way since ancient times.

Ever since Mo Wangchen entered Reincarnation Mountain, no major events occurred in the Beiming Land. Everyone continued their cultivation as before, striving to stand out in this era.

In that year, more and more ancient martial families and hidden powers emerged, but on the list of emperor candidates, aside from the six individuals—Wu Lingfeng of the Wu Family Divine Body, Little Peng King Zhou Tong, Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing, Daluo Heaven Sect’s Saint Heir Zhuo Bufan, Qiu Family Saint Child Qiu Chengye, and Yaochi Immortal Palace’s Saintess Qin Yue—no other geniuses made it onto the list.

Among the major powers, though many geniuses were born, it was destined that they fell short of the emperor candidate list, and in this era, the emperor to be born would still be chosen from those six!

After Lin Jing became the Saintess of the Yaochi, the six geniuses had been residing within the Yaochi Immortal Palace and had not emerged. Some speculated that she had fully matured by now, and once she completely stepped out, she would shake the entire Beiming Land.

The other five geniuses, having been defeated by Mo Wangchen in the rift below, also chose to seclude themselves and rarely went out.

On the surface, Beiming Land seemed unusually calm without the strife of these talents. Instead, those who were just below these top six were much more fiercely competitive, and over the year, some had made a name for themselves.

Nevertheless, their brilliance was destined to be overshadowed by those six geniuses on the emperor candidate list!

It was the sorrow of the era; unless one possessed an extremely strong physique or the bloodline inheritance of ancestors, it was destined that they would not be able to reach the peak of the era. No matter how stunning your talent is, without the qualifications to become emperor, in the end, you would only become the dust of the era.

Beiming Land had been peaceful for nearly a year until a month ago, when an astonishing piece of news once again revived the land, boiling over completely.

"Daluo Heaven Sect’s Saint Heir Zhuo Bufan, with the Absolute Cold Body, a super-strong physique that swept an era 120,000 years ago, was defeated by a mysterious youth!"

The news shook the world. Zhuo Bufan was one of the geniuses on the emperor candidate list. Who could have defeated him?

For a time, this event drew the attention of all parties. Countless people were curious and went to the Daluo Heaven Sect to inquire about the truth. However, the confirmation of the rumor’s authenticity shocked them beyond words.

A few days later...

"Lin Family Saintess Lin Jing also lost!"

"It’s shocking! Who is it that after defeating Zhuo Bufan, challenged Lin Jing, and now two geniuses from the emperor candidate list have been defeated by him!"

"Rumor has it that after defeating Lin Jing, the youth then rushed to the Zhou Family!"

"Could it be he’s challenging Little Peng King Zhou Tong?!" The world was stunned. After fighting two geniuses on the emperor candidate list, he was now challenging Little Peng King Zhou Tong. Could this mysterious youth be aiming to challenge all the top geniuses of Beiming Land?!

...

"Little Peng King has also lost!"

"Even Little Peng King Zhou Tong, with the Ancient Kunpeng Bloodline, lost to the youth?!"

"This is unbelievable! Who on earth is he?!" By now, Beiming Land was already in an uproar. Three of the six geniuses on the emperor candidate list had lost to the same person—an event unprecedented in history.

"The duel that day was earth-shattering; every clash seemed as if it would tear the heavenly vault, and even with the bloodline inheritance of the Ancient Kunpeng, Zhou Tong ultimately lost to his opponent."

"It is said that the youth is not from Beiming Land, but has come from the Eastern Desolate!"

"Eastern Desolate?!" Once this was said, Beiming was shaken again. The youth who had defeated three talents turned out to be from the far-off Eastern Desolate!

The Tian Nan Continent, fragmented for eternity, had already been torn into four lands—Eastern Desolate, West Earth, Southern Desert, Beiming!

Between these four lands lay countless miles apart with the Endless Sea of Death standing in between. Crossing it was essentially impossible, and it required a special type of teleportation array that consumed vast resources to cross. Even ancient martial families and hidden powers were reluctant to use it lightly.

"It is heard that the mysterious youth has already swept through the younger generation of Eastern Desolate and is now the most likely to become emperor. This time he came to our Beiming Land with three Saint Venerable powerhouses as his protectors. According to rumors, he is the descendant of the Demon Emperor!"
