The day of the Starlord Competition was getting closer and closer, and the entire Resplendent Star was in an increasingly tense atmosphere.
A weak clan like the Emerald Grass Tribe even found some barren land and hid obediently, hoping that this storm wouldn't affect them.
All the races in the Resplendent Star were under the feet of the Illusionary Immortals, the Golden Wargod Tribe, and the Nightmare Tribe. They were ruled by the three races, and each of them had a powerful race that they supported. If the race they supported lost in the Starlord Competition, then …
This would cause their status in the Resplendent Star to plummet in the future.
Therefore, it was very important to stand on the right side.
The Illusionary Immortals were the favorites to win, and the Golden Wargod Tribe had almost caught up. They were more suitable for fighting than the Illusionary Immortals. The Nightmare Tribe was also an old faction in the Resplendent Star, and it was said that they had a lot to do with the Illusionary Immortals.
Just as everyone was anticipating or fearing the start of the Starlord Competition, Gong Qing and Xing Yue, the two elders of the Dragon City of Life, brought Long Chen and the other six young dragon warriors to the Profound Dream Realm.
A large number of Illusionary Immortals were already waiting in the Profound Dream Realm.
Long Chen looked over. The Profound Dream Realm was like a dream in the clouds. The Illusionary Immortals rode on cloud-like Smoke Cloud Beasts. Both men and women were very handsome.
Among them, it seemed that most of the Illusionary Immortals' experts were here. There were over a hundred of them, and almost all of them were Samsara Realm warriors. Of course, this was not the Illusionary Immortals' full strength. Most of the experts were still hidden.
After all, this was the first battle of the Starlord Competition, and the experts had yet to take action.
One of the two people standing at the very front of the Illusion Immortal Clan was the famous Dream King. He was a middle-aged man shrouded in clouds and mist. He was handsome and otherworldly, and although he was definitely old, he still had boundless charm.
He had a gentle smile on his face, making people feel that he was not arrogant at all. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked like an immortal.
Beside him was his younger brother, the Illusionary Dream Immortal Clan's War God Xiao Dingyuan. He looked similar to the Illusionary King, but his aura was extremely valiant and unparalleled. The Illusionary Immortal Clan was generally very graceful, but Xiao Dingyuan was an exception.
Xiao Dingyuan's aura caused people to revere him. Xiao Dingyuan was publicly acknowledged as the second strongest person in the Illusion Immortal Clan. In reality, his strength was about the same as the Illusion King's.
Of course, to Long Chen, they were still existences that he could only look up to.
However, Long Chen wasn't discouraged. After all the hard work he had put in, he was on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of the world. In terms of the younger generation, he was a super genius in the Eternal God Domain. In fact, there were only a handful of people under four thousand years old who could compare to him.
The two sides met, and the Dream King led all the Dream Immortals to warmly welcome them.
"Brother Gong, Brother Xing."
The Dream King cupped his hands towards the two of them.
The experts of the Illusion Immortal Tribe all gestured to welcome them.
The dragon warriors came before the Dream King. Xing Yue also cupped his hands and said, "Xing Yue greets the Dream King. We're late. Can we head to the Stellar Source now?"
The Dream King smiled amiably and said, "Nonsense. There's still plenty of time. We're not late at all. Everyone has just traveled. Don't you want to rest?"
Xing Yue said, "The Star-Lord Hegemony Battle is more important. We should arrive early and prepare early."
The Dream King nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's set off. However, there's one thing … I heard that there's an additional genius in your teams. He's the son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor."
The Dream King had to ask about the Star-Lord Hegemony Battle. He looked at Long Chen.
Gong Qing had already expected this. He pushed Long Chen to the front. For a moment, almost everyone's gazes were on Long Chen. When they discovered that the legendary son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor was actually a kid who hadn't even reached the Samsara Realm, they were filled with doubt.
Some people even asked, "Friends from Life Dragon City, are you mistaken? The son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor hasn't reached the Samsara Realm yet."
In the face of all these doubts, the Dream King stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Everyone, don't underestimate him. You don't know that a few days ago, he defeated Xing Qing in front of the three brothers from Life Dragon City. Xing Qing is the daughter of the Three Thousand Star Soul Dragon, Brother Xing Yue."
In reality, Xing Qing was also the strongest person in the Illusion Immortal Tribe's genius battle.
This news only reached the upper echelons of the Illusion Immortal Tribe.
When they heard this news, the jaws of the Illusion Immortal Tribe dropped, their faces filled with disbelief. However, when they remembered that Long Chen's father was the Eternal Dragon Emperor, they felt relieved. Perhaps only the son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor would be capable of such a feat. However, no matter what, they had not seen it with their own eyes.
They couldn't accept it. After all, Xing Qing and Dark were quite famous in the Illusion Immortal Tribe.
The Dream King stopped everyone's discussion and said, "Little brother Long Chen is our secret weapon in this Battle of Geniuses. Everyone, don't leak any information about him in advance. Alright, let's set off for Star Source."
Under the Dream King's order, over a hundred superior cultivators of the Illusion Immortal Tribe and the eight men from the Life Dragon City started their journey.
"Don't be too happy yet. Don't be too proud. You got the position because of Sister Xing Qing, but one day, she will win it back."
Bing Xinyue didn't like Long Chen. When the Illusion Immortal Tribe looked at Long Chen with curiosity and admiration, she felt uncomfortable. In her eyes, Long Chen had made such a mistake. He didn't deserve to participate in the Star Lord Competition. He had nothing to do with glory.
"Xinyue, shut up. Don't you remember what I told you?" Xing Qing glared at her.
Bing Xinyue didn't want to give up.
The four participants of the Illusion Immortal Tribe joined their team. Apart from Xiao Hongchen, the other man and two women were curious about Long Chen. They surrounded Long Chen and asked, "I heard that your father is the Eternal Dragon Emperor. He used to be the strongest cultivator in the Eternal God Realm."
This kind of question …
Long Chen could only nod.
"Humph. The strongest." Bing Xinyue and the others sneered.
"It seems your friends don't like you."
One of the Illusion Immortal Tribe members said.
"It doesn't matter," Long Chen replied.
"It seems you are arrogant. We are a team. You can't be so uncooperative. In a team fight, one person's power is always small."
The man from the Illusion Immortal Tribe couldn't stand it anymore, so he lectured Long Chen. The Dream King said that Long Chen had defeated Xing Qing before. That should be true. However, they didn't believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
In the face of such a problem, explaining was futile, so Long Chen simply ignored them.
The few from the Illusion Immortal Tribe were a little angry. At this moment, Xiao Hongchen walked over and interrupted them. He stood beside Long Chen and asked, "Oh, right. Where's your wife, Lingxi? Why didn't she come over to watch the battle? Is she in the Small Dragon Domain?"
Long Chen was curious. Why did Xiao Hongchen pay attention to Lingxi? Was he also lusting after Lingxi's beauty?
But it didn't seem like it.
Long Chen was wary and said, "The Star Lord Battle is very important. I can't protect her, so I let her leave first. Is there a problem?"
"No, of course there's no problem," Xiao Hongchen chuckled.
The other three from the Illusion Immortal Tribe gathered with the other Dragon Martial Artists of the Dragon City of Life. To ease the tense atmosphere, they chatted happily, especially Bing Xinyue. She chatted happily with the others and giggled from time to time.
Xiao Hongchen frowned and exchanged glances with his own father, Xiao Dingyuan. Xiao Dingyuan turned away expressionlessly.
After a few hours, they arrived at a place called the Southern Mountain Region. Only then did Long Chen realize that the so-called Star Source was actually at the very core of the entire resplendent star. They needed to pass through a lot of soil and rocks.
They had to pass through heavy soil, lava, and steel to reach it.
At the core of the bright star, there was a mysterious hole. The Stellar Source was a very mysterious place. It existed in the hole at the core.
There were four entrances to the Stellar Source in the whole bright star. The three races each controlled one, and the other was controlled by the Nine Star Alliance. The entrance to the Stellar Source was guarded very strictly. For example, the entrance to the Nanshan Region of the Illusion Immortal Tribe had many strong martial artists guarding it.
They were waiting for the Illusion Immortal Tribe to arrive.
The entrance to the Stellar Source was in front of them. It existed under an endless abyss. Long Chen looked down. At the bottom of the abyss, there was a dot of starlight. That was the entrance to the Stellar Source. They were about to pass through half of the bright star and reach the center of the planet.
Without reaching the Rebirth Tribulation Realm, it was impossible to reach that place.
"What's the situation like?"
The Dream King stood at the front of the group and asked the martial artists guarding the entrance to the Nanshan Region.
The person on the other side replied, "The people of the Nine Star Alliance are already inside and ready. The heads of hundreds of races in the bright star have also entered. Now, only the teams of the three races are left. We should be the earliest."
The Dream King nodded and waved his hand. He led the hundreds of martial artists and geniuses into the entrance to the Stellar Source. Long Chen suddenly felt like he was traveling through a tunnel in the starry sky. There was a huge attraction force underground that swallowed everyone.
At first, it was bright starlight. Then, it turned into fiery lava.
Long Chen believed that if Mo Xiaolang came here, he would like this place very much.
"It's really magical. There's actually such a place in the core of this super planet."
Lingxi was also watching and couldn't help but sigh.
After the tunnel around them turned fiery red, Long Chen seemed to hear people talking below. They had been falling for more than two hours. It seemed like they were about to reach the Stellar Source.
