In the remote Heaven Realm, one hundred thousand provinces away from the Heavenly Court, separated by an unknown number of miles of land, lay a massive immortal domain. Above the earth, it was fully populated with forests of cities. Each city and each huge province were not slightly smaller than the territory controlled by the Heavenly Court, and were even much larger.
This was the Truth Holy Land, the territory they ruled over.
Another dynasty situated on the far end of the Heaven Realm.
Under the rule of this dynasty, there were also hundreds of millions of sects and countless immortals, making up a complex immortal path world. Sitting high above was a Truth Castle.
This castle suspended in mid-air and was even more immense than the Heavenly Court.
This was a disguised Heavenly Court. The number of Heavenly Lords in the Truth Holy Land was not at all less than that of the Heavenly Court, and might even be more. After all, the Truth Immortal King had a resplendent reputation back then, being an existence in no way inferior to the Good Fortune Immortal King.
The experts within the Truth Holy Land could even surpass those of the Heavenly Court. The ten great Heavenly Masters were all individually far more despotic than the Xi Emperor and the Spear of Judgment. Because the Ancient Good Fortune Immortal King made too many enemies while conquering all directions of the Heaven Realm, he originally possessed battle generals of illustrious renown and countless geniuses. Unfortunately, after the battle with the Electric Mother Heavenly Lord, an unknown number of geniuses perished under the crushing weight of the Gate of Eternal Life.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court gradually withered away.
Meanwhile, after resting and building up its strength, the foundational depth of experts in the Truth Holy Land gradually surpassed the Heavenly Court's. This time, they planned to deploy experts to occupy the territory of the Heavenly Court's one hundred thousand provinces, taking all sects into their pockets and leaving the Heavenly Court as an empty shell.
Just at this moment, within that massive Truth Castle comparable to the Heavenly Court, in a certain hall, numerous experts, Ancient Emperors, and even Heavenly Master-level figures and old antiques were holding a meeting.
This hall was called the "Heavenly Lord Candidate Hall". Inside that hall, a massive list was filled with written names, arranged one by one continuously. Names flashed unceasingly, undergoing changes, actually inter-resonating with the aura of heaven and earth.
"On the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, the eighteenth-ranked Emerald Heavenly Lord and the nineteenth-ranked Origin Gold Heavenly Lord have vanished, and a person named Yuhuang from below has supplemented their spots! What exactly is going on? Could it be that the two great Heavenly Masters have fallen; who killed them? Was it by a Heavenly Lord? Impossible. If a Heavenly Lord killed them, it would definitely trigger a battle among our Heavenly Lords. In the ancient Heavenly Lord agreement, both the Truth Holy Land and the Good Fortune Heavenly Court signed a pact! Moreover, on the bodies of the Emerald Heavenly Lord and the Origin Gold Heavenly Lord, there are auras planted by Heavenly Lords. Once they suffer a Heavenly Lord's attack, our Heavenly Lord Lord's avatars would immediately descend to retaliate, unless they were not killed by a Heavenly Lord."
An Emperor of the Truth Holy Land suddenly yelled.
Throughout the Heavenly Lord Candidate Hall, the Emperors were incomparably shocked and consecutively stood up, watching the changes on the list.
Among them, the leading Emperor possessed magic force that was virtually equal to the Chihai Demon Venerable. It was unknown what divine abilities he cultivated, but his body actually bore a faint scent of a Heavenly Lord, clearly also an abnormal figure who had failed his Heavenly Tribulation yet did not die.
This Emperor had a face like jade. He was a youth, his entire body robed in blue, glimmering azure like drifting silk clouds and water. His all-over skin exhibited a dark yellow hue, emitting an incomparably despotic aura! However, the most despotic part of his body was his left hand, immensely different from the dark yellow hue of his body. His left hand flickered with a dreamlike luster, absolutely defying anyone to look straight at it. It seemed to have surpassed the laws of the Heaven Realm and reached another realm; this no longer belonged to the immortal's realm, but was the authentic Heavenly Lord realm.
In other words, this terrifying young man's left hand had already cultivated to the realm of a Heavenly Lord!
This was an authentic Heavenly Lord's Hand.
This person was the second-ranked peerless expert on the Longevity Candidate List, "Xie Liuguang".
Perhaps, the people of the Heaven Realm's one hundred thousand provinces had not heard of his name, but within the Truth Holy Land and its billions of sects, an unknown number of people chanted his name. Xie Liuguang was a myth; some people even called out the title "Little Heavenly Lord Liuguang".
His left hand was the most tyrannical, being a true Heavenly Lord's hand. In an inexplicable spacetime once, he acquired an arm left by a deceased Heavenly Lord during the epochal Great Destruction of the previous era, which he fused with his flesh and blood to become his own left hand.
This was a true Heavenly Lord's hand.
Relying on this Heavenly Lord's left hand, his cultivation advanced in leaps and bounds. Although his attempt to assault the Heavenly Lord great tribulation did not succeed, he did not perish; he gained tempering and achieved his current accomplishments.
He was the leader among this group in the Truth Castle, wielding a status equivalent to the Spear of Judgment.
His left hand authentically mastered the most fearsome power in the world; no one could withstand his left hand. Once his left hand shot out, it equated to the descent of the God of Death, and everyone would have to return to tranquility and demise.
Heavenly Lords could also be destroyed in the era's grand tribulation. The Great Destruction of a single chaotic era was no trifling matter. However, even if a Heavenly Lord fell, they would leave behind a variety of organs, limbs, and remains. Should one possessing a truly massive destiny acquire them, they could ascend to heaven in a single step.
"The Emerald Heavenly Lord and the Origin Gold Heavenly Lord are dead. They were not killed by a Heavenly Lord; if a Heavenly Lord made a move, the Heavenly Lords of our Truth Holy Land would know. They were beheaded by a formidable expert. Because this expert's destiny is concealed, even the Heavenly Lord Candidate List is unable to track them." With a swing of Xie Liuguang's left hand, a beam of divine light shot out radiantly, causing an unusual luster to glow upon the Heavenly Lord Candidate List.
Countless names immediately manifested on that list.
"Chihai Demon Venerable! Even the Chihai Demon Venerable has come out, establishing himself as the fourth rank. He occupied the fourth position on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List!"
"Indeed, he is a powerhouse of the Demon Realm, always imprisoned by the Heavenly Court, actually gone now as well. Also, did you all see, the Spear of Judgment who was originally ranked in the thirties, and the Xi Emperor ranking in the forties have vanished as well. Their deaths are absolute. Could it be that the alien army has breached the Heavenly Court?"
"Correct! The list has undergone an earth-shattering shift. Our list was set up by the Truth Immortal King, sensing the heaven and earth co-existing powerhouses. As long as they are powerhouses coexisting with heaven and earth within the Heaven Realm, according to reason, they would display on the list. Unless they are existences that have concealed the cosmic secrets and severed their connection with heaven and earth…" Xie Liuguang remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: "The Heavenly Court could not possibly have been breached now. It should be that someone infiltrated into the interior of the Heavenly Court, rescued the Chihai Demon Venerable, and then killed the Spear of Judgment and the Xi Emperor. No matter what, the Heavenly Court suffered disastrous losses! Exactly what kind of figure is this?"
"The true period of chaos in the Heaven Realm has descended, which also denotes that the years of the Heaven Realm have entered their final era. It is the beginning of the Great Destruction, the heaven and man suffering the five decays!"
An Emperor yelled out, his tone panicked.
"Indeed, the final era of the Heaven Realm has descended. However, the Great Destruction is still very far away; it might be hundreds of millions of years, or perhaps thousands of millions of years. But for us, time is indeed pressing; the time length of hundreds of millions of years is fleeting." Xie Liuguang nodded: "Everyone needs not panic. The chance of heaven and earth is a fine line, each fighting for their own providence. As long as one cultivates to become a Heavenly Lord, they will have the chance to live an extra era."
"Look! Lord Liuguang, the Heavenly Lord Candidate List has undergone a change again!"
Suddenly, an Emperor roared: "A name, rising steadily step by step! It has already entered the top ten; what tyrannical vital energy, what dominance! Surpassing one after another! What exactly is going on?"
"That's right, that name is violently rising! Exactly what heaven-bestowed talent is this, closing in on the top five, surpassing the fifth-ranked Po'ai Heavenly Master."
"It bypassed the Chihai Demon Venerable as well!" An Emperor stared unrelentingly at the continuously bypassing name on the list, his heart nearing explosion, "Surpassing the Myriad Sun Heavenly Master, directly pressing up to Lord Liuguang."
"Who is this person? The vital energy fluctuations on him surpass Lord Liuguang!"
The Emperors all bellowed out.
"What?" Xie Liuguang was tremendously startled. Looking at the name on that Longevity Candidate List that was actually pressing against him, infinite killing intent manifested in his disposition as well!
"Buzz!"
An intoxicating, blood-boiling buzzing noise transmitted from the Heavenly Lord Candidate List. Xie Liuguang just watched that name completely surpass him, reaching the second rank, and squeezing himself to the position of the third rank.
It pressed directly toward the first rank, a person named "Yixin".
On the Longevity Candidate List, the first rank was named "Yixin", an incomparably mysterious expert who had occupied this list's first rank for hundreds of millions of years. No matter how the people below grew, possessing absolutely no changes, rumors stated that the person who previously occupied the first rank of this list was named Muye Huang, who was also the Battle King Heavenly Lord. At that time, the second rank was exactly Yixin.
When Muye Huang cultivated to Heavenly Lord, leaving the list position vacant, "Yixin" propped up, becoming the bona fide number one.
This Yixin was the genuine ultimate number one expert beneath Heavenly Lords in the Heaven Realm. Universally acknowledged by the world, yet now, he was closely pressed by a name, and his status began to totter.
"What?"
"Yixin is about to be surpassed!"
"The authoritative position held for hundreds of millions of years is about to waver."
"This person, terrifying, fearsome! Truly too fearsome! Look, that name is still unceasingly flashing. Clearly, they will not rest until reaching the first rank. It seems as though they are cultivating some divine ability, achieving gross completion, and their vital energy is still rising steadily!"
"Indeed, the Heavenly Lord Candidate List is flashing fiercely. Look! Look quickly, it surpassed. This name finally surpassed Yixin, snatching away the number one position ranked on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List! The first position on this list has not been changed for hundreds of millions of years. Yixin is rumored to have acquired the heart of a fallen Heavenly Lord from back then; his heart is exactly a Heavenly Lord's heart, and his cultivation is appallingly terrifying. To actually be surpassed now, who precisely is that person?"
On the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, amidst the continuous flashings of names, after that name bypassed Yixin, it flashed for a brief spell and pulled a gap away from Yixin. Only then did it slowly stabilize and eventually stick, manifesting three ancient immortal world characters.
Xie Liuguang used an aim carrying immense killing intent to look at the name represented by these three ancient immortal world characters.
Hua Tiandu!
