Armies had existed in the Cosmic Sea for a very long time. Even though Leon's Armada was known as the leader of the Four Great Regiments, in terms of history, it had only been established slightly earlier than the Mastiff Regiment, and it was far inferior to the armies and the Longevity Regiments.
On the dilapidated warship, many pairs of unyielding eyes looked at the light screen, their faces could not be seen, but through their gazes, they could see that all of them were unafraid of death, seemingly numb but with deep emotions hidden in their eyes.
Everyone knew that this was a group of veterans, but no one knew where they had come from, who they served, or what they were waiting for.
The Human Domain's darkest prison was also located in the Cosmic Sea, and it was called Kun's Swamp.
Kun's Swamp was an endless swamp that could swallow even a Hunter.
This was the Human Domain's largest and deepest prison.
There were no cells in Kun's Swamp, and there were only chains that imprisoned prisoners within the swamp. The chains were extremely tough, and even Enlighters would find it difficult to break through them.
Three thousand chains imprisoned three thousand of the Human Domain's greatest villains. This was the darkest place in the Human Domain. These villains had committed crimes that were enough to warrant the death penalty, but they also did not have the ability to bear the death penalty.
Shui Chuanxiao was one of them.
In the dark Kun's Swamp, the only ruler was the Hell Master. He was Kun's only master, and he had protected the place for tens of thousands of years, sometimes sleeping and sometimes waking up.
When he woke up, his only source of joy was watching movies, television dramas, and all sorts of strange theories and news. This was also the only source of joy for Kun's Swamp's 3,000 villains.
The Hell Master's joy was their joy.
At this moment, the entire Kun's Swamp was watching the screen, watching the youths compete.
Loud laughter spread throughout the entire Kun's Swamp. "This fatty is interesting. Hahaha, his battle techniques are interesting as well. He's suitable for my Kun's Swamp, hahahaha."
"Y-Hell Master, please lower your voice. Some of the prisoners can't take it anymore, and they'll be killed by your laughter." A trembling voice was heard.
"If they die, then they die. It'll make room for newcomers. After so many years, those who deserve to die are still alive, and those who don't deserve to die are all dead. There's nothing new," the Hell Master said loudly, shaking the entire Kun's Swamp.
"B-But Lord Tea's father can't take it either," the voice said fearfully.
The Hell Master immediately stopped laughing. "Ahem, let's go take a look. Don't die."
"Yes, sir." A huge pig rushed into the depths of Kun's Swamp. That's right, it was a pig. It was an ordinary pig, but it wasn't ordinary at all. It could travel through millions of miles of Kun's Swamp. It was one of the vice overlords of Kun's Swamp, known as Lord Pig.
Lord Pig was a thousand meters long and a few hundred meters tall, but even so, it was only the size of a Domain Lord's toe.
Looking at the screen, the Hell Overlord looked at one of the arenas. "You're representing Kun Ze, so don't lose too badly."
In the Outerverse, on Zenyu Star, countless people were looking at Lu Yin with reverence. They only had eyes for him.
It was the same for Earth.
Only the young man was looking around, looking at this and that. "This space is really lively. If you have time, bring Dad here to take a look."
In the distance, a burly man stared at the young man.
The young man's eyes drifted over. His eyebrows twitched, and he smiled.
The burly man was furious. "That's the brat who insulted Prince Lu last time. Brothers, beat him up!"
"Beat him up."
…
The young man was speechless. "Again?
(This chapter isn't finished. Please turn the page.)
That's it. "With that, he disappeared.
In the Outerverse, in Ironblood Weave's Ironblood Fort, Elder Nuoha and the others were also watching the screen. The Astral Beast Domain was participating, so their borders were naturally stable.
Elder Nuoha sighed as he watched the various arenas being filled with intense battles. "How long has it been? Even I'm not Lu Yin's opponent now. He can't even enter the top ten of the predicted rankings. This generation of youths is truly terrifying."
Not too far away, Nightqueen Qiuyu watched the screen with a complicated expression as she stared at Nightqueen Yanqing.
When Lu Yin had subverted the Daynight Flowzone, she had been trapped in Ironblood Weave and had remained there until now.
She hated Lu Yin, but there was nothing she could do about it. Even the entire Daynight clan could not do anything to him.
She could only hope that Nightqueen Yanqing would be able to live up to her expectations and not embarrass the Daynight clan.
After ten consecutive days, the competition on the second fault finally ended.
The final match attracted the attention of countless people in the universe, not because it was exciting, but because it was too slow. Several people of similar strength had fought a battle of wits and courage, and they had even competed in terms of background strength.
It was precisely because of them that the competition had dragged on for ten days.
However, they had successfully revealed the power behind them to countless people in the universe, even though it was not a very good reputation.
For some people, the start of the Sovereign Tournament was when they passed the fifth stage, but for others, it was only at this moment that the Sovereign Tournament officially began. This was because what followed was not a free-for-all, but a one-on-one duel.
There were only a hundred participants left, and the one-on-one battles were held on the first fault.
From this moment onwards, every battle would be held individually, and not at the same time. Any participant who could make it to the first location was qualified to receive this treatment.
One had to know that even Avery, who was ranked fourth on the Top 100 Rankings, had been defeated. The Sixth Mainland's Little Arrow Saint, the Fifth Mainland's Ku Lei, and even the Hall of Honor's second and third ranked Shu Jing had been defeated. Regardless of whether it was strength or luck, anyone who could come to the first layer to fight deserved this honor.
Although it took time, it was precisely because of this that the Sovereign Tournament could be displayed.
The purpose of the Sovereign Tournament was not only to determine the top ten, but also to encourage the two mainlands and let them know what direction to work towards.
This was also the hope of the Sixth Mainland's Three Ancestors. The Sixth Mainland would definitely be occupied in the future, and the Three Ancestors did not wish for the Sixth Mainland's will to be destroyed. The Sovereign Tournament was a way to boost morale.
No matter what the reason was, after ten days, the one-on-one Supreme Tournament had finally begun under the eyes of the public.
Two figures disappeared and reappeared on the first fault.
Countless gazes gathered on them.
The two who appeared on the first fault were immediately nervous. One had to know that at this moment, they were in the entire universe. Countless people were looking at them. Among them were their family, friends, old friends, enemies, and even people with various motives. Everyone was scrutinizing them.
Any small detail would be magnified countless times.
In the first few rounds, they had only been Explorers and had not attracted much attention. At this moment, however, everyone in the universe was watching them.
The only fortunate thing was that they were both Explorers, so they had not met any experts.
"Brother, I'm Ah San from the Cosmic Sea's Thousand Islands. It's fate that we met during the Sovereign Tournament. May I know your name?" an Explorer asked in a refined manner. Although he appeared natural and unrestrained, one could still see the nervousness in his eyes.
He wanted to behave appropriately as much as possible. After all, he was facing the eyes of the entire universe.
No!
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
It did not matter if he was willing or not. Of all the screens in the universe, the one in the center would definitely be a close-up of him.
When he thought about it, he panicked and swallowed his saliva.
Across from him, the man seemed even more nervous. "I'm … I'm Qian Zou."
Ah San's eyes lit up. This guy was even more nervous, and this name sounded so pathetic. Ah San was definitely going to win.
"I'm from the Neoverse." Qian Zou swallowed hard and was rather speechless. Why was he in the first round?
His reputation in the Neoverse was terrible, and there were people trying to capture him wherever he went. It was really embarrassing to be exposed so openly!
"Neoverse?
You're from the Neoverse? "Ah San was stunned, and his heart sank.
Qian Zou nodded.
Ah San's eyes twitched. This was troublesome. The Neoverse was where the Human Domain's experts gathered the most, and anyone who could come from the Neoverse to participate in the Innerverse's tournament had to have some skill. Ah San had thought that Qian Zou was easy to bully, but this was going to be troublesome.
While the two of them were scheming, the outside world was in an uproar.
"Hurry up and fight! What are you waiting for? Fight!"
"You're too slow! We need to see clearly, and we need to see a lot of space. Hurry up and finish this."
"It's best if we perish together and shorten the time."
…
There was no time limit for the Supreme Tournament, and no one rushed the two of them even if they continued to delay. However, they both knew that the entire universe's attention was focused on them, and this kind of psychological pressure was very great.
"Brother, sorry for the offense." Ah San took the initiative to attack first.
Ah San was not weak, and he was able to cultivate to the Explorer realm. He could be ranked in the top sixty of the Top 100 Rankings, but his attack missed, and his vision went blank. Where was that annoying fellow?
There was a thump, and Ah San was punched in the face. He was stunned, and before he could even react, dozens of punches landed on him, knocking him out.
Qian Zou's battle technique, the Shadowless Origin Hands. This was a technique that he specialized in stealing — no, borrowing — things. Today, he had displayed his might and used it with the Reverse Step to instantly kill his opponent.
Many people in the universe were shocked, as they could not tell that this guy had some skill.
Qian Zou had not expected things to go so smoothly either. He felt that he might not be weak, and he might even be an expert.
On the second fault, Xiao Bai was jumping. "Amazing! You're asking for a beating! You didn't embarrass me."
Blackie nodded. "Not bad, not bad."
The only highlight of the first battle was Qian Zou's footwork battle technique, which made many people's eyes light up. Even Elder Chan and the Sage Heavenly Master were shocked. It was not that he was fast, but rather that his footwork battle technique was very strange. He was clearly moving forward, but he was moving backward.
In the Neoverse, many people felt a chill after watching Qian Zou's battle. Fortunately, they had not pursued him too fiercely, as this guy was quite powerful.
Many people gritted their teeth and sighed inwardly, as they could not get back what they had lost.
On the second fault, Xiao Bai was jumping and cheering for Qian Zou. In the blink of an eye, she appeared on the first fault.
She looked around in confusion, and then a figure appeared in front of her.
On the second fault, Lu Yin pursed his lips when he saw the figure in front of Xiao Bai. Why was it him?
Xiao Bai's journey in the Supreme Tournament had come to an end.
In the universe, in front of countless screens, many people sighed. This girl's journey had come to an end.
Xiao Bai and Blackie were very likable. Although they liked to cause trouble, many people liked them, and they hoped that they could leave.
However, the person who had appeared in front of Xiao Bai was Xia Jiuyou, and she was destined to be unable to continue.
