The Prodigies War

The black bull was a magnificent creature. Its entire body seemed to give off a jet-black gleam, and flaming clouds burned from the hooves of its four steel-pillar-like legs.

There was also a group of figures standing on the burning clouds.

Only a single figure was seated on the black bull’s back. It was a stern and dignified-looking middle-aged man in black clothes. He wore a crown on his head, and his clear eyes seemed to contain the sun and moon.

“Xixia Island, Herculean Demon Bull Clan!”

“Even that old bull has come…”

The sight of this group alarmed the Biyou Island Dragon Whale Clan and Blood Spirit Mountain Golden Luan Clan experts, causing them to display grave expressions.

They were clearly somewhat fearful of the Herculean Demon Bull Clan.

Elder Gao Yang could not help but frown as well.

He had identified the middle-aged man in black clothes on the bull’s back. He was called Niu Xiaori and was an extremely powerful Bull Demon King. In fact, he had created quite a name for himself years ago in the Ancient Wasteland Domain after defeating numerous experts.

Although none of the Xixia Island experts said anything, the other factions were clearly fearful of them because of the ‘Bull Demon King’ Niu Xiaori.

Even among the aboriginal factions of Spirit Burial Sea, Niu Xiaori was an earth-shaking big wig with a scary reputation.

“Elder, the situation doesn’t look good.”

Wen Xiang was deeply worried.

They no longer dared to underestimate the ‘lower world’ after seeing these few groups arrive. It was frightening to even imagine that three Life Death Stage Kings had arrived with their clansmen over such a short span of time. It was rare to see something like this even in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

“No need to worry. The Deva Secret Domain has an extremely terrifying restriction that forbids anyone above the Heaven Ascension stage from entering.”

Elder Gao Yang consoled them in a kindly voice, “In other words, your real competitors are those from the same generation.”

This made them relax a little. If the Life Death Stage Kings could participate, there would be no need to bother with the Deva Secret Domain because they would only be walking to their deaths.

Numerous factions continued to arrive. They were all from aboriginal factions of Spirit Burial Sea.

There was the Black Turtle Clan, the Cloud Hou Clan, the Winged Spirit Clan…etc. They were all descendants of the ancient ten thousand races that had formed their respective factions and occupied various territories in Spirit Burial Sea.

The arrival of so many factions made the atmosphere become increasingly busy and tense.

These changes caught Elder Gao Yang by surprise. It was as if these factions had agreed to meet here in advance.

Although it was different from what he had expected, the Spirit Treasure Holy Land was not going to miss out on an opportunity like the Deva Secret Domain!

Moreover, Elder Gao Yang felt confident that the sect’s reputation would be enough to deter these factions from trying anything funny.

“If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the ten thousand races are holding some kind of grand ceremony…”

Xiao Ran muttered. Even someone like him found it difficult to stay composed.

Lin Xun was also in shock. It was the first time he had seen so many strange races. It felt as if he had been sent to the past where the ten thousand races were everywhere, and the human race was merely one branch of many.

It was impossible to see something like this even in the Ziyao Empire!

This made Lin Xun realize how mysterious Spirit Burial Sea was. It was not only home to the Dao Burial Sea Mound and one of the four grand dao dominions, the Return Dominion, but also housed the descendants of the ten thousand ancient races!

Lin Xun suddenly found himself recalling the azure turtle who had been trapped in the first level of the ancient ruins for several thousand years before subsequently escaping together with him.

Would the azure turtle also be coming here with his clansmen?

Boom!

While Lin Xun was lost in thought, a change suddenly occurred in the sky above the Return Dominion. The dragon-like multi-colored light abruptly shattered, turning into a gorgeous rain of light.

The rain converged above the sea abyss and gradually began to take the shape of a door.

The entire place immediately erupted.

The various factions were immediately drawn toward it, staring at the door in desire. The entrance to the Deva Secret Domain was about to open!

Light weaved together above the sea abyss, giving off a sacred, ethereal aura as the door took shape.

A tunnel was formed that seemed to lead into a mysterious world, causing everyone to be deeply shocked.

Various experts moved toward the door to occupy favorable positions. Nearly all of them possessed Heaven Ascension stage cultivation and gave off extraordinary auras. Dao sounds seemed to chime around them as they shone like stars in the sky.

They were the younger generation experts from the various races that would be sent into the Deva Secret Domain. Each was a heaven pride of their respective faction. It felt like a grand festival with so many outstanding talents gathered together.

On the Spirit Treasure Holy Land side, Lin Xun followed Zhao Jingxuan and the others forward. They also displayed presences that were not the least bit inferior to the others, immediately drawing quite a few gazes containing various emotions such as shock, amusement, hatred, and killing intent.

Regardless of their reactions, everyone who was about to enter the secret domain was an outstanding talent of the current era and possessed foundations and abilities they took great pride in.

With all of them gathered in one place to compete in the Deva Secret Domain, it begged the question. Who would become the champion? Who would be invincible? Who would ultimately seize the greatest treasure?

All of these questions would be answered in the Deva Secret Domain!

The door in the sky was soon complete. Its interior was deep and dazzling while mysterious dao light flowed within it.

Anyone who entered would arrive in the Deva Secret Domain.

It was at this juncture that the elders from the various clans began their preparations. Although there were unrivaled opportunities in the Deva Secret Domain, it was also filled with incomparable danger.

To minimize losses, the bigwigs of the various clans had prepared safety measures for their clansmen.

After all, they were sending in the heaven prides of their respective clans. The loss of a single one would be no less than a heavy blow to the clan.

Elder Gao Yang repeatedly warned Xiao Ran and the others, “Remember to properly wear these Golden Cicada Talismans at all times. If anything unfortunate happens, it will give you another chance to live.”

Meanwhile, he also transmitted a mysterious seal to them.

The seal contained information about noteworthy opportunities in the Deva Secret Domain. However, much of the information was incomplete.

Despite this, it was still of astonishing value!

From this, it was clear that Spirit Treasure Holy Land had come amply prepared.

Of course, Lin Xun was left out. He didn’t receive the Golden Cicada Talisman or the special seal because he was merely an ‘attendant’...

Zhao Jingxuan called Lin Xun to her side and transmitted, “After we enter, you must keep close to me and not wander off. Our competitors will not only include those on our side, but also the experts from the other clans. It will definitely be extremely dangerous.”

Her tone was filled with concern.

“Naturally.”

Lin Xun happily agreed. Zhao Jingxuan was the only person he treated as a true friend in the group.

“Remember, no matter who it is, kill anyone who dares to act against us. I will bear all the consequences.”

Zhao Jingxuan suddenly added as she covertly glanced at Su Xingfeng.

Lin Xun nodded.

Meanwhile, Su Xingfeng was also transmitting. “Junior Brother Wen Xiang, we must keep a close eye on that kid after entering. We cannot let the treasure be taken by anyone else. A pagoda made from Genesium will also be a huge haul!”

“Senior Brother Su does not need to worry.”

Smiling, Wen Xiang agreed.

Omm!

At this moment, a bronze ring flowing with dao rhythm rose into the air and enveloped the Xixia Island Herculean Bull Demon experts.

In the distance, Bull Demon King Niu Xiaori commanded in a booming voice, “Begin the operation.”

The bronze ring glowed brightly as it carried the Xixia Island experts toward the door.

Clang!

Divine light spouted from the door and knocked away the bronze ring with a terrifying clang!

Despite being a supreme treasure that was wielded by the Bull Demon King, its power was pathetic in comparison to the power from the door.

However, the Xixia Island experts managed to use this opening to enter the door and disappear into its depths.

Upon seeing this, the elders from the other clans also began to send their younger generation clansmen into the door.

Whoosh!

Granny Sky Kill brandished her purple bamboo staff, wrapping the Biyou Island experts in a protective light barrier before sending them into the door.

Dong!

Tu Wanren from the Golden Luan Clan loudly shouted as he summoned a thunder hammer…

For a time, the air was filled with gorgeous treasure light as the various clans hurriedly sent their experts into the door.

There were also unaffiliated cultivators that tried to use this opportunity to enter. However, without a powerful expert protecting them, they were swiftly erased by divine light before they could get anywhere close to the door.

This made many people despair and realize that not just anyone could enter.

“Go!”

Elder Gao Yang brought out the Thousand Avian Cauldron and summoned numerous avian phantasms that carried Lin Xun and the others toward the door.

In the distance, the Bull Demon King said in surprise, “Thousand Avian Cauldron? I didn’t expect that Spirit Treasure Holy Land would come as well.”

Elder Gao Yang remained silent although a sliver of wariness flitted across his eyes. Fortunately, the Bull Demon King didn’t say anything else.

……

There was a group of figures on the surface of the sea far away. A young lady stood beside an elder in black robes and said in a hushed voice, “Elder, the mysterious pagoda my father obtained flew out from deep in the Return Dominican. That’s how he chanced upon it.”

“Elder, should we get going? I guarantee that the secret map is correct. It appeared with the pagoda and must have some relation to the Deva Secret Domain!”

On the other side, a young man was clearly itching to get moving.

If Lin Xun was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that the young lady and young man were Yao Susu and Lian Fei!

The black-robed elder pondered for a while before he seemed to arrive at a decision. “Alright!”

He abruptly raised his head and brought out a broken white animal bone. It turned into a mysterious sacred light that enveloped Yao Susu, Lian Fei, and the other nearby cultivators before rushing toward the door.

“Water Brute Tribe Saint’s bone?” In the distance, numerous elders were alerted and looked over.

The black-robed elder silently stood there as if oblivious to their gazes.
