Chapter 577: Chapter 577: The Strongest in the Empire

Black Stone Empire, Imperial City.

Due to the imminent ’Young Talent Competition’, a lot of new faces have emerged in the Imperial City.

Some of these new faces originate from various major powers within the Black Stone Empire or from the various royal countries under the jurisdiction of the Black Stone Empire.

Over the recent days, the Imperial City Guard has started to get busy.

All because incidents of fighting have been occurring frequently around the Imperial City.

This fighting is mostly instigated by the young talents who have gathered in the Imperial City.

Every young talent that has managed to participate in the ’Young Talent Competition’ in the Imperial City is the cream of the crop, their pride and confidence insurmountable, with no one willing to bow down to the other.

As the ’Young Talent Competition’ nears, the Imperial City gradually returns to its calm state.

"It’s said that the ’Young Talent Competition’ taking place in three days will be held at the central plaza in the Imperial City... I wonder if it’s true."

"If it’s true, I will definitely go join the fun!"

"It is already confirmed, the news is true... now, the City Guard has started building the ’competitions pit’ at the central plaza of the Imperial City!"

...

As the ’Young Talent Competition’ approaches, the Imperial City of the Black Stone Empire is becoming more lively.

In a spacious mansion within the Imperial City.

The sacrificial officer Millon Pond, Victory King, Walter Simmons, Alfonso Rowan, Handmi Holland, and Kase Dragonsmith from the Green Forest Royal Country are all gathered together.

"Why hasn’t Wyatt Barnes returned yet? The ’Young Talent Competition’ is in three days."

Millon Pond frowns.

"Hmph! That Wyatt Barnes has no realization of bringing honor to our Green Forest Royal Country... if he misses this ’Young Talent Competition’, I will not spare him!"

The Victory King’s face darkens, a cold light shines in his eyes, "Millon, if Wyatt Barnes misses the ’Young Talent Competition’... when I punish him, I hope you won’t interfere!"

The words of the Victory King change the expressions on the faces of Walter Simmons, Alfonso Rowan, and Young Master Holland.

They can hear the deadly intent concealed within Victory King’s words.

The Victory King, is thinking of killing Wyatt Barnes.

Three days later.

At the central plaza of the Imperial City, nine ’competition pits’ stand tall.

The nine competition pits surround an expansive platform.

On this platform, several neatly arranged seats are set up. These are clearly meant for spectators.

One can envision that these audience seats are specifically prepared for the ’representatives’ headed by the major powers of the Black Stone Empire.

Outside the nine competition pits, the crowd is bustling and noisy.

Now, in the open space between the nine competition pits and the platform, numerous young talents are scattered around.

In terms of age.

These young talents are at most 36 or 37 years old.

"Why hasn’t Wyatt Barnes appeared yet?"

Walter Simmons, Alfonso Rowan, and Young Master Holland stand together, looking east and west, yet they cannot find any trace of Wyatt Barnes.

As for Millon Pond and the Victory King, they are already seated on the chairs atop the platform.

"It seems that Wyatt Barnes really doesn’t care about the ’Young Talent Competition’... when he comes back, I will make him pay!"

A murderous intent flashes in Victory King’s eyes, he says in a stern tone.

"Victory King, I believe Wyatt Barnes won’t break his promise... His absence at this moment must be due to some circumstances."

Millon Pond’s eyes contain a hint of concern.

"Hmph!"

The Victory King snorts coldly, thinking to himself: "It would be best if he dies!"

At present, the number of people on the platform is increasing.

These people are all high-ranking members from various major powers of the Black Stone Empire, as well as individuals from the imperial family of the various royal countries subject to the Black Stone Empire.

"Isn’t that Sacrificial Officer Millon?"

An old man dressed in azure feigns surprise upon seeing Millon Pond.

Upon seeing the azure-clad old man, Millon Pond’s face darkens, "Connor Wilson!"

"I thought your Green Forest Royal Country wouldn’t send anyone... As far as I know, the five princes of your Green Forest Royal Country seem to be quite ordinary."

A faint hint of disdain appears at the corner of Connor Wilson’s mouth.

"Even if they are ordinary, they will not be worse than your grandson."

Millon Pond replies indifferently.

"Millon, you!!"

Millon’s remarks enrage Connor Wilson. His Origin Force surges instantly, ready to take action.

’Officer Connor!"

The middle-aged man standing next to Connor Wilson stops him and reminds him, "This is the Black Stone Imperial City."

Hearing this, Connor Wilson takes a deep breath and the Origin Force that was just about to surge from his body gradually dissipates.

Nevertheless, his gaze towards Millon Pond is filled with provocation.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the clouds and mists shake high in the distance.

Next, a luxurious palanquin appears.

In front of and behind this palanquin, a total of eight warriors above the level of the Peep Naught Realm hold the palanquin, serving as the palanquin bearers.

On the side of the palanquin, a large character is written with dancing dragons and flying phoenixes:

Yakim!

In a moment, eight Void Realm warriors carrying the palanquin comes to the side of the platform.

This scene leaves many young talents from all over stunned.

"What an imposing line-up!"

Mustafa Rowan’s pupils contract, astounded, "Could it be that the person in the palanquin is the Emperor of the Black Stone Empire?"

"The Emperor of the Black Stone Empire probably won’t show... it should be some important figure from the Black Stone Empire."

Young Master Holland shakes his head.

"It’s Prince Yakim."

Just then, Walter Simmons speaks.

Prince Yakim?

Mustafa Rowan and Young Master Holland are taken aback.

"Could that be the one who is said to be closest to the ’Cave Void Realm’ in the Black Stone Empire, Prince Yakim?"

Alfonso Rowan looked surprised.

The Black Stone Empire, Prince Yakim.

He had long heard about him.

It was said that Prince Yakim of the Black Stone Empire was the strongest person in the Black Stone Empire.

"Since we were young, this ’Prince Yakim’ was recognized as the strongest in the Black Stone Empire, most close to the ’Cave Void Realm’... If you ask me, he might have already broken into the ’Cave Void Realm’!"

Master Holland said.

"Possibly."

Alfonso Rowan nodded.

When Prince Yakim became famous, he was just a youngster.

Now, more than ten years have passed.

Prince Yakim’s strength must have become more terrifying.

"Although they’re both princes, our Green Forest Royal Country’s ’Victory King’ cannot be compared to this ’Prince Yakim’."

Master Holland’s gaze was fixed on the sedan chair floating in the air.

Having eight warriors willingly serving as palanquin bearers and such an ostentatious display, not everyone can enjoy.

"Greetings to Prince Yakim!"

At this point, the representatives from various major forces and major royal countries on the high platform stood up, respectfully saluting in the direction of the sedan chair.

Millon Pond and Victory King were also among them.

Victory King, who had a murderous look on his face when mentioning Wyatt Barnes earlier, was now showing humility when facing the sedan chair.

At this moment, the curtain of the sedan chair was drawn open.

A tall figure slowly stepped out.

It was a middle-aged man in a gold-trimmed white robe, with a resolute face, showing majesty in between his brows.

On his forehead, there was a conspicuous red mole.

It was the strongest person in the Black Stone Empire...

Prince Yakim!

After leaving the sedan chair,

"Long live Prince Yakim!"

At this moment, the people standing outside the nine arenas respectfully greeted Prince Yakim.

Prince Yakim looked around and gave a nonchalant nod.

He then calmly went to the high platform and sat in the middlemost ’seat of honor’.

"Has everyone brought all the young talents?"

Prince Yakim’s glanced over the representatives on the high platform.

Immediately, everyone except Millon Pond and Victory King nodded their heads.

Very quickly, the two became the center of attention for thousands of people.

"What? The young talents you have brought have not arrived yet?"

Prince Yakim looked at Millon Pond and Victory King and asked indifferently.

Although his tone was calm, everyone present could feel a hint of pressure.

"Prince Yakim, we..."

In front of Prince Yakim, Millon Pond felt the pressure, took a deep breath, and was about to explain.

However, before he could finish his words, he closed his mouth.

Whoosh!

In the high sky, a purple figure traversed the space as a bolt of lightning and landed in the middle of the nine arenas and the high platform.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Millon Pond’s eyes lit up, he immediately turned to Prince Yakim and respectfully said, "Prince Yakim, the young talents from our Green Forest Royal Country have all arrived."

Prince Yakim nodded lightly and withdrew his gaze from Millon Pond.

At this time, numerous gazes fell on the young man in purple who had just arrived.

Most of them were shocked by the young man in purple’s age.

"This young man who appears to be around 25 years old, is one of the young talents from the Green Forest Royal Country participating in the ’Competition of Talented Youths’?"

"Each royal country under the Black Stone Empire only gets five spots... and the Green Forest Royal Country sent two young men who are not even 30 years old!"

"It seems that the Green Forest Royal Country really has run out of people."

"Yes, otherwise, these two young people wouldn’t have snatched spots to compete in the empire’s ’Competition of Talented Youths’."

...

Whether it’s the representatives of the various major forces and royal countries on the high platform or the spectators from a distance, everyone is buzzing with discussion.

"Millon Pond, it seems that your Green Forest Royal Country really has run out of people... to my knowledge, any of the five princes from your Green Forest Royal Country seems to be over 30 years old, right? These two are not meant to be part of those five princes."

The man in green who had a conflict with Millon Pond earlier scoffed.

"Connor Wilson, you should wait for your ’Hundred-Week Royal Country’s’ talented youngsters to defeat them... for now, please close your stinking mouth!"

Millon Pond retorted without any politeness.

"Hmph! It seems, Millon Pond, you are really confident in these two."

Connor Wilson snorted with disdain in his eyes.

Two kids under 30 years old.

In his view, they posed no threat to the talented youths of their Hundred-Week Royal Country.

"Wyatt Barnes, why did you come only now?"

Mustafa Rowan looked at the young man in purple who had just landed beside them and asked curiously.

"I ran into some problems on the road and got delayed."

The young man in purple was Wyatt Barnes, who was unkempt from his journey.

Originally, Wyatt Barnes estimated that he should have returned to the Imperial City of the Black Stone Empire several days ago.

However, he was delayed by some matters on the road.

Seven days ago.

Wyatt Barnes arrived at the mountain range north of the Imperial City of the Black Stone Empire, and accidentally discovered two ’Ninth Level Demon Beasts of the Peep Naught Realm’ fighting ferociously.

He thought that the two beasts were fighting for some ’treasure’.

So, when the two beasts were exhausted, Wyatt Barnes killed them and began searching around.

However, after searching for several days, he found nothing.

In the end, he could only leave disappointedly.
