Chapter 1980: The First Duel

The First Duel . . .

From the foot of the mountain all the way to the peak, the main peak was lined with a total of 99,999 flat stone steps. At such a height, even if it was an ordinary person of the realm beyond the mortal world.., they could still advance with great success and smoothly climb up.

However, an ordinary person would not be able to withstand the strength of their internal organs once they reached the height of about 3,000 steps. Thus, at the height of 3,000 steps, the first huge platform of the peak was set up, it was also the dividing line between ordinary people and cultivators.

The Paragon Mountain was shared by all living beings in the mortal world and beyond. Ordinary people were also qualified to climb this mountain, but they could only stop at the height of 3,000 Zhang!

This was because going up from 3,000 steps was a territory that only cultivators could enter.

From 3,000 steps above, every increase in the height of 500 steps would increase the gravity by one fold to 6,000 steps, and for every increase in the height of 6,000 steps above, every increase in the height of 500 steps would increase the gravity by ten times.

The nine peaks, including the main peak, were all set in this way.

In other words, if one wanted to reach the top of the peak, they would need to bear a gravity that was hundreds of times higher than the ground to be able to barely climb up.

Almost everyone who reached the top had to carry a mountain to climb up.

At such a peak, other than experts above the eternal realm, ordinary cultivators could not climb up at all!

This was the honor of being a peak expert that only eternal realm cultivators had.

If one wanted to reach the top of the Supreme Dome, even eternal realm cultivators weren't qualified to do so. Only eternal realm experts could reach that top; that was also the supreme peak of this world!

Starlight flickered on the dome, illuminating thousands of kilometers. From Afar, one could only see a boundless divinity!

The entire supreme mountain range stretched for 9,000 kilometers, and was connected to the other two large mountain ranges. From the moment the Supreme Mountain was fully formed, wind and clouds suddenly surged from all directions, and countless clouds whistled as they rushed over, they covered the entire area ten thousand meters above the mountain!

The entire mountain was completely enveloped by the Clouds and mist!

One could only see that it was illusory, as if it was real and illusory!

However, even if the Clouds and mist fell into the eyes of those with discerning eyes, they would still be so sacred and inviolable that respect would grow on its own.

The mountain of Supremacy!

A total of 9,999 experts at the sixth stage of the eternal realm and above were filled with pride when they looked at this mountain. This mountain had been built from a stone by them, bit by bit.

This place, this mountain, from now on, would become the greatest and most sacred building of the eternal realm beyond the mortal world!

The sense of accomplishment and pride that surged from the bottom of their hearts was simply indescribable and indelible.

In front of the Supreme Mountain, there was a humongous stone tablet.

All of the eternal realm experts who participated in the creation of the Supreme Mountain left their names on the stone tablet.

This was the true legacy of the eternal realm. As long as the Supreme Mountain existed and the Supreme Monument existed, this glory would not be extinguished.

Everyone had a look of glory on their faces.

At this point, the Supreme Mountain had completely taken shape and 9,999 experts had returned to their respective camps.

However, despite such a huge project that shook the past and the present, after the completion of the project, it was inevitable that the people who contributed to the project would scatter and return to their respective homes to look for their respective mothers.

In just half a day, everyone left cleanly, and the supreme mountain became even quieter.

The next day, the five parties sent out representative teams to snatch the sword from the dome.

Each party strictly adhered to the agreement that each party could only send 24 people at most.

Three people participated in the battle, 20 people watched from the side, and one person led the team.

The leader was also the final player in the game.

The Mortal World Beyond Heaven was a blessing for the future, and the moment of the game that would not be easy for billions of generations had finally arrived.

The five sides stirred, and the world was set in stone!

At this moment, the rules of the Heavenly Dao, which were rarely moved, suddenly returned to chaos.

All of this would only end when a new ruler was born in this world.

At this moment, the mortal world beyond heaven, no matter where it was, had become a land without an owner!

Even the officials of the heavens, who had originally held official positions, all of their authority over the realm beyond the mortal world had been completely nullified due to the imperial decree of the Emperor!

This was the power of the Heavenly Dao's forceful intervention, and the natural laws of the realm beyond the mortal world had lost their balance.

All of this could only be restored when a new ruler was born, a new decree was issued, and a new order was established.

As for the Paragon Mountain, the Paragon Order. A few days after the official birth of the dome, it welcomed the first day of saber flashes and sword shadows, and the day of a fierce battle!

..

Cha-Eun Xiao's side did not make any special preparations for this battle.

This was because the monarch pavilion had already decided, excluding Cha-Eun Xiao's three other candidates —

Jun Yinglian had already reached the intermediate level of the eternal realm; naturally, she was one of them.

And not only had Xuan Bing reached the intermediate level of the eternal realm, he was even slightly higher than Jun Yinglian. Naturally, he was also one of them.

As for the final spot, Cha-Eun Xiao's original choice was Chi Huo. After Chi Huo came out of seclusion a few days ago, his cultivation had not only stepped into the eternal realm, but also directly entered the intermediate level of the eternal realm. His strength could be said to be the highest among the people in the sovereign pavilion, there should be no objections for him to be selected!

Unexpectedly, Wenren Chuchu volunteered, indicating that it would be the best effect for him to participate in this battle.

First of all, Wenren Chuchu's cultivation was also in the intermediate level of the eternal realm, and her realm was stable. Compared to Chi Huo, who had just entered the intermediate level of the eternal realm, her battle strength was one level higher. Secondly, it was also the most important reason, the ultimate goal of this dome-shaped sword snatching was to target the spirit race Yimo. Wenren Chuchu was one of the absolute main forces that countered the YIMO, and the mystic yin attribute body of the Mystic Ice Lord Ying Lian could coordinate perfectly with it. It was better for the three of them not to separate, and after the previous battle, when the two devils of the Bear clan found out about Chuchu's existence, they would definitely regard Wenren Chuchu as a thorn in their side, and the strongest line-up would be the best protection. Therefore, Wenren Chuchu's battle was indeed the best strategy!

Regarding such an arrangement, the other people of the sovereign pavilion did not have any objections.

Whether it was the Flower King's step, meeting in Dreamland, or the few big shots of the brotherhood, they would at most feel ashamed, but they did not have any objections.

After all, this battle was related to the future of the monarch pavilion.

It was related to the ownership of the entire world.

Cultivation was never fake. If you could, you could. If you couldn't, you couldn't. It wasn't something that could be changed just because you weren't convinced or didn't fear death.

This was a matter that would last for thousands of generations. There was no room for courage.

For the above reasons, Monarch Cha led three country-toppling and beautiful female generals to the summit of the Supreme Mountain.

The twenty spectators were: Dream Youjiang, Scarlet Flame, Flower King, Poison King, and the nine big shots of the Brotherhood. They chose the top three; Qiu Luo, Monarch of black evil, White Dragon, seven star general; twelve division leaders, they chose Dragon and Tiger division leaders.

The twenty spots were all filled.

Just for these twenty spots, the Emperor Pavilion was about to fall into chaos.

In the end, it was Cha-Eun Xiaoqian who decided the candidates and settled the dispute.

Those who were selected were triumphant and high-spirited. Those who were not selected were dejected and droopy-headed. They were even more dejected than their father who had died!

..

The three participants on young master Bai's side were Yun Duanzhi Wan, the Heavenly Talent, and Mr. Xiong Er.

There were twenty spectators, and Ling wuxie and his five capable subordinates were all present.

On Cha Hongchen's side, it was Mr. Cha himself. Among the seven Golden Lotuses, Guan Shanyao, juwei, and Yun Duanlu.

The moment Cha-Eun Xiao saw Cha Hongchen's arrangement, he knew that Cha Hongchen had already decided to give up on this battle.

This was because the three people he had chosen were all relatively mild-mannered and were definitely not people with radical personalities.

Mister Cha was not the only one who had given up on this battle. The people that the Eastern Heavenly Emperor had chosen were also people who did not seek merits but only wanted to avoid mistakes.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Emperor Veluriyam had sent out a lineup that could be described as gorgeous. This included the Purple Dragon and Golden Phoenix, as well as the Heavenly Emperor Veluriyam's brother, Xuanyuan Changkong, who was known to be unrivalled in the world of Veluriyam.

At the very least, in terms of the arrangement of the troops, the Heavenly Emperor Veluriyam had put on an appearance of being determined to forge ahead.

This grand meeting also invited another mighty figure, a mighty figure who had the battle results of overturning the dome and seizing the sword — Ling Wuxie's father, the carefree king. This monarch's strength was extraordinary and sage-level, and was not inferior to Mister Cha or the five heavenly emperors, this five-day competition, regardless of which day was able to invite him to make a move, was a definite victory

However, regardless of which party's invitation, this carefree king did not have the slightest room for accommodation and directly refused.

"All my life, I only wish to be carefree. I don't wish to participate in any battles or disturbances. It doesn't matter who belongs to the world, I'll Be Carefree."

"I appreciate your kind intentions, everyone. However, we will all be friends in the future with either party. I'm going to accompany my wife to play. All of you can take your time to battle."

This carefree king was also a wonderful person. After saying these words, he directly disappeared without a trace.

Towards this old friend, whether it was Cha Hongchen, Bai Yutian, or heavenly emperor glazed glaze, they all expressed their heartfelt envy.

To be able to develop one's life to such a carefree and carefree stage, it was truly a rare and precious realm. It was easy to know, but difficult to do.

It was good that I was carefree!

The participants each entered their respective positions on the dome.

When the last wave arrived and the East Heaven Emperor brought his people to their seats, the dome suddenly erupted with an extremely intense starlight. In an instant, the Starlight split into five groups and headed toward the five directions, the five heaven people were instantly enveloped in a hexagram array that was filled with a mysterious aura.

The spacious square in the middle seemed to have suddenly disappeared. What replaced it was an incomparably vast starry universe.

All the participants would be fighting in this starry universe.

In this space, no matter how powerful one's explosive power was, it would be difficult to destroy even the slightest bit of it!

In such an environment, the participants would be able to fight without any scruples.

As for this segment, including the people who set up the formation, they originally didn't know about it.

Therefore, the instant the hexagram formation appeared and the starry sky of the decisive battle appeared, many people present exclaimed in surprise.

A red light suddenly flashed. It was the power of the Heavenly Dao that appeared in the dome.

This sudden red light first appeared in the sky above the hexagram on the side of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, Bai Yutian, and shot straight into the sky.

At this point, the Order of the participants, who would be the one to fight, and who the opponent would be, was no longer up to them to decide. It was also not up to the heavenly monarchs to take the lead. There were no arrangements, strategies, or tactics.

All of them were randomly drawn by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Whoever was drawn to, two human auras would intersect and start the battle.

As the red light flashed and disappeared, a sword humming sound was heard. An old and heavy voice said slowly, "One person and one sword for 100,000 years. They will be happy for the rest of their lives. The purple clouds in the east are rising towards the sky. I will feel lonely in my drunken dreams."

One person was dressed in purple robes. The hexagram formation flashed with red light. It was the Prime Minister of the East Heaven Camp, Dongfang youmeng, who walked out slowly.

Dongfang youmeng stood in the starry sky, his body shining with Starlight, and the sword Qi in his palm soaring into the sky.

One of the first people in this world was the Prime Minister of the East Heaven.

In the next moment, a Phoenix cry rang out, and a colorful Phoenix appeared along with the Phoenix Cry. White light flashed, and it transformed into the Golden Phoenix King's magnificent figure.

Dongfang Youmeng's opponent was the Golden Phoenix King of the glazed sky.

At this moment, the younger generation present were still amazed at the magnificent manner of snatching the sword from the dome. However, the old brands all had a fascinating expression on their faces.

Even the three heavenly emperors, Cha Hongchen, Bai Yutian, and the glazed sky emperor, were dumbfounded and speechless.

The corners of the mouths of the seven golden lotuses, The Purple Dragon King, and the others twitched as if they had been struck by lightning.

There was no other reason other than the fact that these older generation experts all knew that the Golden Phoenix King and Dongfang youmeng were a pair of resentful lovers back then.

Back then, when the two of them first met, they fell in love with each other and were committed to each other for life. Originally, regardless of personality, appearance, or cultivation level, the two of them could be said to be a perfect match made in heaven, even though the Golden Phoenix King's personality was like fire, and Dongfang youmeng's personality was more stable and elegant, it still formed a harmonious complement. However, in Dongfang youmeng, she finally realized that the woman she fell in love with was actually not a human, after she became a phoenix, everything changed.

After a difficult struggle, Dongfang Youmeng finally could not accept the result of the human-demon relationship and left without saying goodbye.

The Golden Phoenix King had a fiery personality and it was rare for him to fall in love. However, once he fell in love, it would be for the rest of his life. He was unwilling to see a good marriage come to naught and chased after Dongfang youmeng all the way.

When he reached Dongfang world, Dongfang youmeng still avoided him. The Golden Phoenix King was furious and fought in anger. The Dongfang family gathered all their experts and fought against the Golden Phoenix King for seven days and seven nights.

At that time, the Golden Phoenix King had yet to reach the pinnacle of experts and the Dongfang family was the number one family outside of the Eastern Heaven Royal Family. There were many capable people and after seven days and seven nights of fighting, the Dongfang family suffered heavy casualties, however, the Golden Phoenix King also paid a heavy price. Just as the Golden Phoenix King was on the verge of death due to his heavy injuries. Dongfang Youmeng suddenly appeared and pushed himself to his limits. He risked his soul to save the Golden Phoenix King. Then, he escorted him all the way to the glazed sky..

If they followed the plot of a Chinese novel, Dongfang youmeng and the Golden Phoenix King should pair up and form a marriage!

However, on the day Dongfang Youmeng sent the Golden Phoenix King back to the glazed sky, he once again left without saying goodbye.

From then on, the two never saw each other again, and the Golden Phoenix King never set foot in the Eastern world again.

And in the years after Dongfang Youmeng returned to the Eastern Heaven, not only did he never marry, he also never left the Eastern Heaven and Earth realm!

Everyone knew of each other's existence.

However, there was still no contact between them.
