Di Jun Divine City.
Mount Di Jun pierced through the starry sky. It was boundlessly tall, and a large portion of it was covered by layers of clouds. It was as though it was made of steel, and the might of a Great Emperor suppressed the world.
Since ancient times, Di Jun Divine City had been passed down for millions of years, worshiping the number one God of the ancient times, Di Jun. Di Jun was the number one expert of the human race after the Divine Dragon Era. His attainments were close to many of the Ultimate Divine Dragons of the Divine Dragon Era. He led the human race and suppressed the four directions.
Even today, Di Jun Divine City was still the leader of the 72 ancient cities of the world.
Today was the day of the Di Jun Genius Battle that was held once every ten years. Almost every cultivator in the inner city below the age of four thousand had to participate in the battle to test the results of their ten years of training. To every young cultivator, this was an extremely important opportunity to display their skills. For the arrival of this day, they had been rubbing their palms and preparing for a very long time.
In every genius battle, there would be people who rose and people who fell.
Those who rose would have a bright future, while those who fell would never have the chance to rise again in their entire lives.
What made all the young cultivators even more excited was that City Lord Di Jun would personally oversee the battle to test their cultivation success. If there was someone who could gain the favor of City Lord Di Jun, that person's future would definitely be bright.
Of course, this time's Di Jun Genius Battle was a little unexpected because they had already seen City Lord Di Jun a few days ago. It was just that the distance was a little far. On that day, City Lord Di Jun fought against Long Chen and obtained a complete victory. For a moment, he became the pride of all the cultivators in Di Jun Divine City.
Of course, Long Chen dared to fight against City Lord Di Jun at such a young age. That was also a kind of glory.
"This time, I must perform well and let those who looked down on me look at me in a different light. I must let the elders see my hard work and potential."
"I don't need the City Lord to appreciate me. As long as a Young City Lord thinks highly of me, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life."
The young cultivators clenched their fists and stepped onto the battlefield that belonged to them and started fighting.
With their power of reincarnation, they were the absolute rulers of the Draconic Sacrificial Continent. It was only in a place like the Emperor Jun Divine City that they appeared insignificant.
City Lord Di Jun sat on the highest throne, surrounded by the higher-ups of Di Jun Divine City. But today, there were some old friends. They were Taiyi City Lord, Zi Wei City Lord, Yuanshi City Lord, Randeng City Lord, and other City Lords of the central region. Of course, Zi Wei City Lord came from the east.
A total of six or seven City Lords sat beside City Lord Di Jun, watching the Di Jun Genius Battle.
"Their performances are all outstanding. The younger generations of the Emperor Jun Divine City are indeed full of geniuses. Each of them is more hardworking than the other. Brother Di Yao, you don't have to worry about anything."
The Taiyi City Lord stroked his long beard and nodded with emotion.
He had once fought against a Sacred Spirit, and his strength was at the early-stage of the Seven-star Reincarnation Tribulation Realm. Back in the Battlefield of Gods, it was in his Taiyi Imperial Bell that Long Chen killed Di Yu. To be honest, Long Chen was worlds apart from him at that time.
There was no smile on City Lord Di Jun's face. He shook his head helplessly and said, "If Di Yu was here, I don't know what realm he would have reached today …"
This was the greatest sorrow in his heart.
Even the Eternal Dragon Emperor had agreed to take Di Yu as his disciple. Unfortunately, he had died young. If he had not died, even if he was not as good as Long Chen, Di Yu would not have been any worse.
"This … this …"
The Taiyi City Lord also sighed, feeling very helpless. Di Yu had died in front of him.
"Now that Long Chen has shown his heaven-defying talent, it is said that he could fight against Brother Di Yao a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, he has surpassed me. This kid is sinister and vicious. If I let him become an expert, I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge Di Yu. If I had hardened my heart and killed him, this would not have happened."
The Taiyi City Lord shook his head helplessly.
"Don't say such things in the future, or you will get yourself killed. Now that his reputation is like the sun in the sky, I'm afraid he will catch up to me in less than a year. How can we fight against him? But he has a lot of enemies, so let's just wait and see."
When City Lord Di Jun said this, the competition below had already reached the climax. Seven or eight youths had already fought their way into the top eight and obtained a lot of rewards. Next, they would fight for the top three and obtain even more benefits, and even City Lord Di Jun would personally reward them.
In order to speak to City Lord Di Jun personally, the youths were even willing to give up their lives.
He was the number one person in the Dragon God Realm other than the five great Dragon Cities.
At this time, Long Chen came to the Divine City of Di Jun and stood above everyone.
Li Xuanji, this beauty, was like a ghost, following him like a shadow. Of course, even if she was a ghost, she was still a beautiful ghost.
After he reached the Four Symbols Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, he went through a short period of recuperation before rushing to the Divine City of Di Jun. Of course, he didn't know that the Di Jun Genius Battle was being held here. Because of his arrival, the Di Jun Genius Battle had already been interrupted.
The moment they saw him, the faces of everyone in the Divine City of Di Jun instantly darkened. One by one, they stood up from their seats. The faces of the few City Lords also changed from cheerful and witty chatting to gloomy and cold. They were all top-notch divine cities, and they were all in groups.
The arrival of Long Chen made the place fall into a dead silence.
To every young martial artist in the Divine City of Di Jun, Long Chen was a terrifying monster in their eyes. They had long stopped treating Long Chen as someone of the same generation. After all, when they were still trying their best to get City Lord Di Jun to look at them, Long Chen was already fighting on equal grounds with City Lord Di Jun.
"That's … the son of the Eternal Dragon Emperor."
"It's that Long Chen."
"What is he doing here again? Didn't he lose to our City Lord last time? Could it be that he is looking for a beating again? I heard that City Lord went easy on him in the previous battle."
The young martial artists had no choice but to stop their battle. They stared blankly at the sky. Almost everyone's gaze was focused on Long Chen. Long Chen didn't panic. He looked directly at City Lord Di Jun and said, "City Lord, I came back this time to borrow the Divine Boat of Di Jun. When I return from the Battlefield of Gods, I will definitely return the Divine Boat of Di Jun to you. I hope City Lord can fulfill my wish."
Di Jun Divine City sized him up from head to toe. Of course, he could feel that Long Chen was different from before. He was stronger and more terrifying. Previously, he said that Long Chen would surpass him within a year. Now, only a few days had passed. No matter how rich his imagination was, he wouldn't be able to guess that Long Chen would awaken the Four Symbols Celestial Emperors within a few days and enter the next level, causing his strength to skyrocket.
Hence, he said, "According to the previous agreement, didn't I say that when you can defeat me, you can take the Divine Boat of Di Jun. If you use any other methods, such as begging or exchanging, it's impossible. I won't agree to it. The hundreds of thousands of people in Di Jun Divine City won't agree to it either."
He said resolutely and coldly.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. Unexpectedly, he said, "That's right. This time, I came back to finish the battle with you."
"En."
Di Jun Divine City held the armrest of his throne with both hands. With a light pinch, he turned it into powder. He stood up. Under the strong wind, his white hair and beard fluttered in the wind.
"Now?" City Lord Di Jun asked, enunciating each word.
Hearing this, the people below were extremely nervous. Their hearts were thumping, as if they were facing City Lord Di Jun. To be honest, they actually had a hint of fanatical worship for Long Chen in their hearts.
"Now."
After Long Chen said this, he flew back and headed towards the clouds in the distance. That was the place where the last battle had taken place. Even now, there were still many traces of that battle.
Until he became a small dot in the eyes of the crowd.
The other City Lords also stood up.
"What the hell is this kid doing? Could it be that he has some scheme or found a new Primordial Dao Artifact?" City Lord Yuanshi asked doubtfully.
"No, he has two Primordial Dao Artifacts with 700 Dao patterns. As for schemes, he is not that kind of person."
Di Jun Divine City said indifferently.
"Brother Di Yao, are you going to fight him again?" City Lord Randeng asked.
City Lord Di Jun nodded and said, "This time, I'll make him retreat in the face of difficulties. Otherwise, he'll come looking for me every few days. I'm not his sparring partner, so how would I have so much time?"
After saying this, he flew like a god and headed in the direction of Long Chen.
City Lord Di Jun's action made the crowd extremely excited. It was another battle. They could see that City Lord Di Jun was already very angry. This time, he would definitely beat Long Chen to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, City Lord Di Jun was already standing in front of Long Chen in the wind and clouds.
Another confrontation.
In front of him was a real peak challenge, a warrior with a Demigod body. It was Long Chen's real sprint and challenge to this level. If there was no Li Xuanji, even the current him was not sure that he could defeat him. At most, it would be a draw. With Li Xuanji's help, he had the confidence to take away Di Jun's Divine Boat.
At this juncture, Li Xuanji had already turned into a Yin Demon behind him and merged into his body. The Four Symbols Reincarnation Power, Taishi Divine Power, and Yin Demon Power combined to fight against City Lord Di Jun's Divine Power of All Beings.
Buzz.
Under the fluctuations of power, the surroundings seemed to shake.
The wind was blowing, and clothes were fluttering. This peak confrontation attracted everyone's attention, especially when several City Lords had come nearby.
"Miracle, a miracle."
City Lord Taiyi felt the most.
Because just a few years ago, Long Chen could not move in his Taiyi Emperor Bell. Now, his aura was simply crushing him.
His eyes were filled with deep shock.
This time, City Lord Di Jun would not only use the power of the sun.
He used the Sun God Technique and turned into a body made of fire crystal sand. With a wave of his hand, the divine sword Ruo Xi appeared beside him. The beautiful Dao Spirit accompanied him at all times, protecting him and becoming his strength.
At this moment, countless transparent lights gathered in City Lord Di Jun's left hand, turning into thousands of transparent beads the size of a grain of rice. The beads formed together and rolled into a transparent disc.
The power of space erupted.
"That's … the Wuji Wheel."
One of the City Lords said in shock.
…
