I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Beyond the borders, in Xuanhuang City, a battlefield.

The extraterritorial battlefield connects hundreds of continents in the lower three realms, with the passageways located around each corresponding city.

To be precise, these cities were built next to the passageway.

The upward passage is located in the clouds, while the downward passage is located in the graben, a crack with no end in sight.

Under the cover of the academy, Shen Ming left quietly without alerting anyone.

Using his supernatural abilities, he sped through the sky at lightning speed, returning to Xuanhuang City in just a few days.

Huh?

Unexpectedly, the celestial realm near the passage was filled with countless magnificent cloud ships, as well as phoenix carriages and dragon carriages, each carrying a powerful king-level expert.

Shen Ming subconsciously thought they were coming for him, but he realized he was overthinking it.

They were extremely busy preparing to enter the Xuanhuang Continent.

People from Xuanhuang City would often come and volunteer to act as their guides.

Shen Ming listened intently, learned what had happened, and his expression turned strange.

These people are going to participate in the King-level Hunting Battle!

The King-level Hunters competition will be held on the Xuanhuang Continent, with the Central Region serving as the hunting ground.

A dazzling light burst forth from the sky, and a colossal building fell, as if a celestial palace had descended to earth.

"The Royal Court of a Hundred Battles!"

Countless people shouted excitedly, proclaiming the name of this object.

The royal court resembles a colossal beast suspended in the void, enormous in size, with the palace gates alone reaching a height of a hundred feet, and the interior forming its own world.

The royal court landed heavily on the chasm, radiating endless light that surged into the spatial rift.

From it, Shen Ming sensed a rich aura of celestial spirit and primordial energy.

The abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like a continuous torrential rain falling on the central region of the Xuanhuang Continent, causing countless rare treasures to transform and evolve as a result.

Immediately afterwards, beams of light appeared from the Hundred Battles Royal Court and fell onto the Xuanhuang Continent, where the outlines of various magical artifacts could be vaguely seen.

Finally, there were countless tokens, which weren't exactly treasures, but everyone longed for them.

War King's Decree!

Shen Ming understood: the Central Region was the battlefield, and the contestants would compete for the War King's Token to eventually enter the Hundred Battles Royal Court.

In addition, a concept became clear in his mind.

That is the struggle for supremacy!

"The Great Dao competition on the Xuanhuang Continent is nothing more than a hunting war held in the outer battlefield!"

With the Central Region of the Xuanhuang Continent as the battlefield, the local forces in the Central Region have an advantage. Even if they can't defeat others, they can rely on others and join a faction.

Judging from this scale, the King-level hunting battle will likely last for a very long time.

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly, and a strange beast, extraordinary in its divine form, came galloping forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Like a Qilin, it has a crystal-clear horn on its forehead, as if it were carved from the purest crystal. A mysterious halo flows on the horn, as if it contains some kind of primordial power between heaven and earth.

A young man sat atop the beast, his posture upright and imposing, like a long spear piercing the sky, every muscle containing explosive power.

His features were sharply defined, with sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards towards his temples, exuding a fierce and heroic air. His lips were slightly pursed, and his aura swept outwards like a surging tide, carrying unparalleled majesty and power.

"Yang Xuanji, the champion of the Panyue Dynasty!"

"He has finally emerged from his seclusion after twenty years! He already possesses the aura of a true king!"

"No wonder the Panyue Dynasty is so generous, launching a King-level hunting war!"

Many people were amazed by it.

Many people who have just arrived don't know much about this person and ask those around them for advice.

"Do you remember the Eternal Prince from not long ago? Decades ago, the Marquis of Champion was also the center of attention!"

Anyone who has just arrived knows how formidable this Marquis Champion is, to be compared to that Eternal Emperor's Son.

The Marquis of Champion did not come alone; he was followed by royal generals of the dynasty.

"Reverse Tian Gang!"

Such a voice seemed to reach the Champion Marquis's side, where a king-level general roared angrily: "How can the light of a grain of rice compete with the brilliance of the moon!"

Everyone fell silent, understanding what these words meant: the Eternal Academy and the Pan Yue Dynasty were currently on bad terms.

"It's a pity that the Panyue Dynasty forced a genius to his death, and lost a prodigy who could rival the Marquis of Champion."

Just then, a slightly provocative voice rang out, as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring, making it impossible to get angry.

A carriage radiating a crimson glow, resembling a blazing fire, came into view. The beaded curtain was half-open, revealing a woman sitting inside.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like two deep black gems, clear and bright, her skin was snow-white, and she radiated an extraordinary red aura.

"Princess Fire Phoenix, daughter of the Fire Emperor!"

Regardless of her status or social standing, Princess Fire Phoenix had the confidence to say this.

"One king is enough for our time."

Champion Marquis Yang Xuanji snorted coldly and said arrogantly.

After that, even more people came, and Shen Ming recognized one of them: Li Weiyang.

After half a year apart, Li Weiyang put on the clothes of a disciple of the Creation Academy.

Beside her was a beautiful woman, also a disciple of the Creation Academy. Their relationship didn't seem harmonious, and she was pointing fingers at Li Weiyang.

Shen Ming, being among them, was not worried about being recognized.

The "Book of Origin" possesses the art of changing the world, which not only alters the landscape but also allows for disguise.

The most amazing thing is that, without changing one's true appearance, one appears to others as a completely different person.

People who know him can't recognize him even if they see his face. People who meet him for the first time will not remember him even if they see the same portrait later.

Shen Ming figured this out himself, and after some testing, he found that it was indeed effective.

Suddenly, the black dragon became restless in the Great Luo Palace.

Shen Ming was quite curious, and then he saw an incomparably powerful aura of a true dragon appear at the end of the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was a stunningly beautiful woman with dragon horns on her head.

He had no carriage, no mount, and was all alone, yet the aura emanating from him made everyone uneasy.

Dragon Girl, the Pure Land Force!

The battlefield outside the territory is actually a world in itself, because the fighting never stops, and there is a world beyond the battlefield.

Pure Land, as the name suggests, is a special force on the battlefield, ruled by foreign races, and rejects the Seven Great Academies and the imperial forces.

Hunting battles are open to participation from other races.

It's essentially a gambling game, with Pan Yue Dynasty acting as the bookmaker, hoping to attract as many participants as possible.

Upon the arrival of the Dragon Girl, she immediately cast a sharp glance at Shen Ming.

It's not about looking at him, it's about sensing the aura of the black dragon.

Fortunately, the black dragon calmed down in time, and the Great Luo Palace concealed its aura.

The Dragon Girl frowned and glanced at Shen Ming a few more times.

Finally, the Hundred Battles Royal Court roared, and everyone couldn't wait to get started.

Shen Ming sighed, knowing that this would inevitably affect his plans, and the other shore flower was very likely to attract competition.

"Whoever comes will die!"

Shen Ming understood this point and, like someone participating in a hunting battle, flew into the spatial rift.
