In the depths of the Greatlaw Sky, figures that blotted out the sky and covered the earth whistled over from all directions. In the end, they descended in an extremely majestic manner, completely occupying the square that was opened up on the peak of a huge mountain without leaving a single gap.
Compared to a year ago, the Great Heaven Domain had undergone a drastic change. The number of experts under them could be said to be the largest in the entire Northern Region.
At this moment, this massive plaza was the focal point of countless experts in the Great Heaven Domain.
That's because there would be a new King being born in every single Conference of the various Kings. In the Great Heaven Domain, only by becoming a King could one be qualified to establish their own force. At the same time, they could also obtain more resources from the Great Heaven Domain. So in the entire Great Heaven Domain, there were many experts that were eyeing the position of King, trying to fight for it.
Furthermore, the competition for the title of King in the Great Heaven Domain was much more intense than a year ago.
In the past, as long as one's strength had reached Fifth Grade Sovereign, they would be qualified to fight for it. But right now, without the strength of a Seventh Grade Sovereign, they wouldn't have the courage to fight for it.
Judging from this, one could tell how great the changes in the Great Heaven Domain had been in the past year.
The vast square was filled with a hubbub of voices. Occasionally, a large group of light figures would whistle over from the distant sky. Their aura far surpassed that of an ordinary person. Every time they arrived, they would attract waves of envious gazes. That was because only those kings who controlled their own factions were qualified to travel in such a manner within the Greatlaw Sky.
Under the envious gazes, those streaks of light had landed in the central region of the plaza, which was the core of the Great Heaven Domain.
Countless gazes were directed over, looking at the core region.
The most eye-catching thing was the golden throne at the end of the stone stairs, which seemed to possess an indescribable prestige.
Even if it was just quietly standing there, it still made many experts in the plaza have revere in their eyes. That's because that was the Domain Ruler of the Great Heaven Domain.
The strongest expert in the Northern Region.
Below the golden throne were three silver thrones that shone with silver light. Under the illumination of the sun, they were equally eye-catching, and at this moment, on these three silver thrones.
There were three people with their eyes closed, indifferently accepting the revere and envious gazes.
In the Great Heaven Domain, only the Sleeping Emperor, Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor could possess such a position. They were the Three Emperors that had accompanied Mandala since the beginning.
Below the three Emperors, there were many stone seats. On those stone seats, there were figures with extraordinary auras chatting and laughing.
Every single one of them was emanating boundless Spiritual Energy, and they were the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain.
Amongst these kings, the ones that caught the most attention weren't the Asura King, the Mountain Splitting King, and the others who used to be number one. Instead, they were the two figures that stood at the very front.
Those two silhouettes stood at the front of the various Kings. The one on the left had an aged appearance.
His body was emaciated, looking like an old tree that was about to wither from afar. His eyes were drooping, looking weak.
However, he emanated a heart-palpitating pressure.
That's because this person was a tyrant in the Northern Region before joining the Great Heaven Domain, known as Oldman Ku.
On the right of Oldman Ku was a middle-aged man with a robust physique. He sat by the side and the shadow emitted from his body could even cover Oldman Ku.
That person's arm was extremely unique, as it was several times thicker than an ordinary person. His palm casually hung by the side, but if one took a closer look, they would realise that when his fingers moved, it would vaguely cause sonic booms, as if every single movement of his possessed a destructive power that could shatter mountains.
This person was known as the Dragon Arm Sovereign, a top-tiered powerhouse in the Northern Region in the past. It was said that his cultivation technique was extremely unique. He had even implanted a pair of dragon arms into his body and refined them into his own arms, allowing him to possess power comparable to the Dragon Clan.
The two of them were in the Initial Phase of the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, which far exceeded the other various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain. It was so much so that even the Asura King, who was once the strongest amongst the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain, could only be ranked behind them.
Of course, the two of them clearly did not care about the positions of the various kings. They chatted and laughed with each other. Occasionally, their gazes would sweep across the three figures on the silver thrones in front of them. In the depths of their eyes, there was provocation and arrogance.
That's because, in their view, regardless of strength or fame, they weren't any inferior to the three Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain. Amongst the three Emperors, aside from the Sleeping Emperor, who always looked drowsy, which made them feel a little fearful, the Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor weren't any weaker than them.
With such strength, they would naturally covet the position that matched their strength, which was undoubtedly the 'Emperor' of the Great Heaven Domain.
The Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor had also sensed the provocative gazes. Although there weren't any ripples on their faces, they coldly snorted in their hearts.
As veterans of the Great Heaven Domain, they had naturally sensed the intense competition over the past year. It was so much so that even their positions had started to be coveted.
But they couldn't say that others weren't qualified. That's because the reputation of Oldman Ku and the Dragon Arm Sovereign was stronger than theirs.
It was so much so that if it wasn't for the massive resources given to them by the Domain Ruler to break through their bottlenecks and reach the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, they would have long been surpassed by those ambitious newcomers.
The conflict between the old and new ministers of the Great Havenlaw Domain had gradually spread to their level.
"Looks like those two fellows are determined to obtain the new Emperor's position." The Spiritual Pupils Emperor cast a glance at the two silhouettes and his lips slightly moved as he transmitted his voice to the Sky Vulture Emperor.
In the past, there were some conflicts between the Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor, since the two of them weren't too harmonious. But as more and more experts joined in the Great Heaven Domain, the conflict had completely dissipated and the two of them even had the intention of forming an alliance to resist.
Hearing the Spiritual Pupils Emperor's voice transmission, the Sky Vulture Emperor had unnoticeably nodded his head. "Those two fellows are powerful enough and have gradually stabilized their footing. I'm afraid that they will succeed this time."
As he spoke, the Sky Vulture Emperor unhappily flung his lips. With the characters of the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku, the competition between them would probably become even more intense if they became the new Emperor.
"Haha, what do you think, Brother Meng?"
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor's eyes flickered as he looked at the drowsy Sleeping Emperor. His voice transmission with the Sky Vulture Emperor was not avoided from the Sleeping Emperor, since he clearly didn't mind the latter hearing their conversation.
Although he had also stepped into the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, the Spiritual Pupils Emperor was still extremely courteous towards the Sleeping Emperor. That's because he knew that the Sleeping Emperor had followed the Domain Ruler for so many years and was extremely loyal. So the Sleeping Emperor would naturally know some of the Domain Ruler's thoughts.
When the Sleeping Emperor, who seemed to be dozing off, heard the Spiritual Pupils Emperor's words, his eyelids opened a little. He casually smiled and said, "Domain Ruler, you feel that the position of the new Emperor should be increased by two."
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor and the Sky Vulture Emperor were stunned, before they helplessly shook their heads. "Then those two fellows have it easy."
Previously, the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku had also tried to compete for the new Emperor's position, but they were rejected by Mandala. After all, the position was too important, and the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku did not have the corresponding qualifications and loyalty for the time being.
But judging from the current situation, Mandala was probably going to give in. If that's the case, then the Emperor's position would naturally be conferred.
The two of them sighed. They had followed the Domain Ruler for so many years to obtain their current status. But those two fellows had only joined the Great Heaven Domain for less than a year, and they did not make any great contributions. So they naturally felt a little uneasy in their hearts to be able to stand on equal footing with them.
Although their rationale told them that the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku were indeed qualified to be the Emperor with their strength.
The Sleeping Emperor opened his eyes a little and looked at the location of the Dragon Arm Sovereign and smiled. "The Domain Ruler only said that there will be two new Emperor's positions, but she did not say that it would be them."
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor and the Sky Vulture Emperor were stunned, feeling a little baffled. In the entire Great Heaven Domain, only the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku were qualified to compete for the Emperor's position. Could it be that the Domain Ruler intends to let the Asura King ascend the position?
But if that's the case, then it would definitely cause the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku to be unconvinced. After all, the Asura King's strength was only at the Eighth Grade Sovereign Realm, so it wasn't enough to convince everyone.
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor and Sky Vulture Emperor exchanged a glance. Just when they wanted to pursue the matter, the Sleeping Emperor had closed his eyes once again and looked to be in deep sleep, which the two of them could only helplessly shake their heads.
Boom!
An ancient bell suddenly rang out between the heavens and earth, instantly causing the bustling plaza to turn silent with revere on their faces. It was so much so that even the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku had slightly lowered their heads with respect.
A strand of lustre pierced through space and gathered on the dazzling golden throne at the centre of the plaza. A petite silhouette in a black dress appeared and indifferently swept her golden pupils out with a terrifying pressure sweeping out. Even someone as powerful as the Dragon Arm Sovereign and Oldman Ku could feel the Spiritual Energy in their bodies freezing and they were inwardly shocked. This was the power of a Greater Earth Sovereign. Just a glance from her could render them powerless.
Sweeping her gaze across, Mandala waved her small hand. Her calm and somewhat delicate voice resounded across the plaza. At the same time, it had also caused the atmosphere in this region to explode.
"The conference of the various Kings shall begin."
(To be continued.)
