The cultivators of Ye Futu's faction had arrived majestically, occupying a third of the territory.
Today was the most crucial battle. Thousands of cultivators had arrived. Although there was little suspense, it was still an honor to be able to witness it with their own eyes.
This was something they could brag about many years later.
Of course, they had to become the Holy Martial Emperor, the true True Martial Emperor.
No matter what, the atmosphere was getting more and more tense. This selection was not fair at all. Most of them were from Wenren Xi's faction.
Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie had not seen Long Chen for the past few days. They had blended in with the crowd. Now that Long Chen had climbed higher and higher, they could only stay here and wait for Long Chen's arrival.
"The great Martial God Palace is made up of third-layer Nirvana Tribulation seniors. How can they treat this so lightly?"
"Yes, if news of this gets out, our Martial God Palace will lose face. Besides, the outcome is already decided. What's the point of today's battle?"
"They're using something as important as the Holy Martial Emperor to manipulate things. I don't think the future of the Imperial Palace will be good. The rebels offend their superiors and ignore the law. The Imperial Palace will fall into chaos sooner or later."
For a moment, the crowd was stirred.
The cultivators on Ye Futu's side had ugly expressions when they heard the rumors.
"These ignorant fools. Don't they know that I'm doing all this for the sake of the Imperial Palace?"
"Yes, the young Martial God is clearly the most suitable person to succeed the Holy Martial Emperor."
They could only comfort themselves with this.
What they were most afraid of was that Long Chen had been chosen by the True Martial Emperor. Although they followed Ye Futu's wishes, they were actually going against the True Martial Emperor.
Everyone was afraid of this question. They had guessed what Ye Futu was crazy about, but …
The True Martial Emperor had disappeared for tens of thousands of years. He hadn't appeared for tens of thousands of years. Could he still appear?
If that wasn't the case, Ye Futu wouldn't be so brazen.
Today, Ye Futu was still smiling, a smile that made people's hair stand on end.
"Screw you, audacious bastard. The True Martial Emperor Palace will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later. The Emperor Lord will punish you. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the Emperor Lord hasn't appeared for a long time."
An old cultivator in the crowd cursed.
The person he was criticizing was Ye Futu.
The others didn't have the guts to criticize him so loudly.
Being targeted at Ye Futu like this caused everyone to quiet down. They could acutely feel that Ye Futu was angry. Perhaps he was here today to establish his dominance.
The three Martial Honorables were the pillars of the True Martial Emperor Palace. Wenren Xi and Lin Junyao didn't like Ye Futu, but for the peace of the Emperor Palace, they had no choice but to give in to this fellow, which led to today's situation.
Ye Futu's eyes were still smiling. When the other party insulted him, he waved his arm lightly. In that instant, the ground shook and a powerful wave surged up from the ground, forming a shocking wave. Everyone felt a terrifying gust of wind sweep past, and their faces paled as they retreated more than ten steps.
Pfft.
The body of the person who had insulted him was shattered by the powerful wave, turning into dust and disappearing into the air. He didn't even leave behind a single word.
Ye Futu hadn't shown his prowess in a long time.
When he made his move in front of everyone, the crowd remembered his name, Honorable Slaughterer.
When he was young, he was a well-known troublemaker in the Emperor Palace and a famous killing machine. Ever since he became a Martial Honorable, he had been much more restrained.
Even so, he wasn't someone a small fry could criticize, especially at a time like this.
Ye Futu's move basically affected half of the people present. They all retreated, feeling very uncomfortable. The only one who was killed was the person who had insulted Ye Futu.
After the commotion, the Hanwu Hall Master said loudly, "You deserve to die for offending a Martial Honorable. Watch your mouths, or else you'll end up like him."
Today was the day of their success. The Hanwu Hall Master was even more arrogant than before. He was like a proud rooster, walking into the crowd with his head held high.
In the entire Martial God Palace, only Ye Futu could kill someone in public without being punished by the law.
Everyone could only suppress the anger in their hearts and keep their mouths shut.
Today, they would be bullied badly.
Seeing that they were obedient, the Hall Master of Cambrian Temple laughed and said, "I told you to be more sensible and watch your mouths. This is a good thing. Today, although this is the most crucial battle, the result has already been decided. There is no suspense, and there is no meaning to our victory. Let's just enjoy a performance. Anyway, you are all prepared to lose, right?"
After that, the Hanwu Hall Master led the people of Ye Futu's faction into laughing.
Their Nirvana Bodies were filled with boundless Nirvana power and had a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Standing in front of everyone, they were like peerless beasts, making everyone tremble.
The power of the Nirvana Tribulation was divided into three parts: the physical body, the Nirvana power, and the understanding of the Heavenly Dao.
At the third stage of the Nirvana Tribulation, these three aspects would be extremely terrifying in a real battle. Every one of them would be no different from a giant prehistoric beast.
Under their suppression, no matter how angry everyone was, they could only lower their heads in pain.
Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie were the first to bear the brunt of Ye Futu's attack. They were not at the Nirvana Tribulation realm, so the impact this time had shaken their internal organs. They were slightly injured and even bled.
Both of them were very helpless.
"This is too much," Nangong Lie said, gritting his teeth.
"Bear with it. Little Chen can't do anything today. He can only defeat his opponent and vent his anger."
As soon as Han Yunxing finished speaking, Lin Junyao's people, as well as Wenren Xi, finally arrived with Long Chen and the others.
They arrived at the same time and stood in their respective positions.
Han Yunxing was not far from Long Chen. He sized up Long Chen for a while and was pleasantly surprised. He said, "It seems that Little Chen's aura has changed again. Has he reached the ninth level of the Divine Martial Realm?"
Nangong Lie nodded and said, "It should be. I heard that he went to see the Emperor. I thought he was not confident, but now it seems that he should be able to defeat his opponent."
"Let's wait and see." Han Yunxing was not sure either.
At this moment, Long Chen noticed them and appeared in front of them in a flash. He keenly noticed that Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie seemed to be injured. He quickly asked, "What happened?"
Nangong Lie was filled with anger and told him what had happened.
"You're so arrogant. Do you really think you've won?" Long Chen's eyes were cold.
"Do your best. Don't force yourself. It doesn't matter if you lose. It's a failure now, but it won't be a failure forever," Han Yunxing said seriously.
He was worried that Long Chen would risk his life because every time Long Chen risked his life, he used blood sacrifice, which was not beneficial to him.
"I know what I'm doing."
Long Chen was extremely grateful to these two people who cared about him. He thanked them and returned to his position, waiting for the time to pass.
In ten days, with the help of Zhenwu Great Emperor, Long Chen had indeed condensed the Golden Wheel of Nirvana. It had reached a perfect level and was not weaker than the Late Stage of the ninth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
It was estimated that he could directly reach the Great Completion of Martial Arts in the next stage.
The appearance of the Golden Wheel of Nirvana caused the power of the Nirvana World in Long Chen's body to increase again. Of course, he had not gone through the Nirvana Tribulation, so the increase was not large. But it was enough to upgrade his combat strength. In terms of the Power of Nirvana, he had actually surpassed the Young Martial God.
Ninety percent of the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon had created a decisive talent and body. The body was also a kind of combat strength. Long Chen's body was comparable to the three Martial Venerables who had gone through the Fourth Heaven of the Nirvana Tribulation.
The body and the Power of Nirvana were the three main forces of the Nirvana Tribulation. Long Chen had already obtained them. What he lacked was the Heavenly Way and the Innate Taoist Method based on the Heavenly Way. This was the key step.
If it was not for Yang Chen's strange body, he would not be qualified to fight with Long Chen.
As for Feng Zhilin, she was weaker than Long Chen in terms of body and Power of Nirvana.
Now that the three parties had arrived, the final battle could begin immediately. The Hall Master of Cambrian Temple was in charge of the internal punishment and miscellaneous affairs of the Martial God Palace. Basically, the three Martial Venerables did not care about these affairs, so he had to announce the specific matters of this peak battle.
The Hall Master of Cambrian Temple's reputation was already bad, but he didn't care. Wearing the eagle robe, he came to the field and gave a passionate speech for a while. Then he laughed heartily and announced the current scores of the three candidates. Then he announced the rules of the competition.
"First of all, the two candidates with the least points will participate in the battle first. The loser will directly fight with the one with the highest score. The winner will fight with the winner of the previous round to determine the final champion."
The rules were very simple. First, Feng Zhilin would fight with Long Chen. The loser would fight with Yang Chen to give the winner of the previous round a chance to rest. Then the final battle would begin.
The three rounds of battles were all continuous.
After announcing the rules, the Hall Master of Cambrian Temple looked around and said, "Alright everyone, the show is about to begin. Please step back. Although it is obvious who Shengwu Monarch is, in order to shut your mouths, I believe that the real Shengwu Monarch will definitely pull away from the others with a huge difference. Everyone, please wait and see."
What he meant was that Yang Chen would defeat both Long Chen and Feng Zhilin. If that was the case, the score of the second round of the Dark Kingdom would be meaningless.
The Hall Master of Cambrian Temple would probably be forgotten as well.
Now, the people of the Martial God Palace basically did not have a good impression of the Hall Master of Cambrian Temple.
There were even more people who couldn't wait for this guy to be beaten up.
