Chapter 992 Challenging the Strongest!

Chapter 992: Challenging the Strongest!

“Since I’m participating, I naturally have to give it my all.”

Chu Shiren said with a casual smile.

Murong Qi laughed heartily, “I hope you don’t run into me too early, otherwise you’ll lose miserably.”

Chu Shiren merely smiled.

At the same time.

On the other side of the Resentment Demon Prison, Huang Zuntian led more than a dozen Heaven’s Chosen from the Life Force.

One Heaven’s Chosen asked, “Life Lord, should we wait? I feel this stage is a bit too simple, and there might be unimaginable dangers ahead.”

Huang Zuntian said, “In the past, I would naturally be cautious, but not this time. You all follow behind me; I want to be the first to pass!”

His robes billowed, his long hair fluttered, and a sharp and domineering aura emanated from him.

The Heaven’s Chosen of the Life Force were stunned but dared not refute. Within the Life Force, Huang Zuntian’s word was law; if he issued a command, no one could overturn it.

Huang Zuntian and the others moved incredibly fast, and it wasn’t long before they encountered the Resentment Demons.

At the end of the horizon, countless Resentment Demons awaited, some suspended in the air, others crawling on the ground, densely packed, creating an immense sense of oppression.

The Heaven’s Chosen of the Life Force watched, their eyelids twitching wildly.

The Resentment Demons were black and red, appearing in all sorts of bizarre shapes and sizes. Their resentment and killing intent lowered the temperature of the world to freezing point, making souls tremble.

Huang Zuntian, however, did not stop. He charged forward, black patterns appearing on his face—the power of the Calamity-Fixing Life-Taker, the Divine Authority of Grand Dao Providence!

Huang Zuntian initiated the first battle between the Heaven’s Chosen and the Resentment Demons!

…Inside the main hall, it was incredibly noisy.

“Who is he? So strong!”

“Huang Zuntian, the Life Lord. You don’t know him?”

“The Life Lord is also less than 100 million years old? This…”

“Hahaha, the Divine Might Heavenly Sage is only tens of millions of years old. If he participated, the Eternal Peak would be meaningless.”

“Indeed, as long as one is strong enough, they can transcend the title of Heaven’s Chosen. Heaven’s Chosen, after all, are those still on the path of growth.”

“What about Han Huang? He has already surpassed a Grand Dao Sage.”

The mighty figures discussed animatedly. Huang Zuntian was like a sharp sword, tearing through the Resentment Demon battle line, unstoppable.

The Ultimate Punishment Divine Venerable looked at Han Jue and said, “Huang Zuntian also comes from the Heavenly Dao. What is your impression of him, Heavenly Sage?”

Han Jue said, “Speaking of which, I knew him when I was still a mortal. I can feel his determination. He is acting differently than before. I estimate this time he is aiming for the Eternal Peak.”

The Ultimate Punishment Divine Venerable pondered.

Han Ling whispered, “Father, he has a power within him.”

Han Jue didn’t respond; he naturally knew.

The Divine Authority of Grand Dao Providence, of course.

The supreme rule that transcends the Grand Dao must be powerful.

It’s hard to say for now whether the Divine Authority of Grand Dao Providence or the Great Creation is more powerful.

The Great Creations are different and cannot be generalized.

Under Huang Zuntian’s leadership, the Heaven’s Chosen of the Life Force were unstoppable. They quickly broke through the encirclement and continued to rush towards the center of the Resentment Demon Prison. Behind them, even more Resentment Demons awaited.

At the same time, more and more Heaven’s Chosen began to encounter the Resentment Demons. Some emerged strong, displaying formidable power, while others were careless and fell directly.

A month is a long time, and most Heaven’s Chosen were still observing, not rushing to act.

However.

In less than half a day.

The first clearers appeared!

The Life Lord, Huang Zuntian!

He didn’t just pass by himself; he led his Heaven’s Chosen subordinates to clear the stage together!

After clearing, they were teleported back to Ten Absolute City. Grand Dao Deities were already waiting in front of the teleportation array, responsible for recording their rankings.

Huang Zuntian’s clearance sparked widespread discussion among the mighty figures. Immediately, some mighty figures sent messages to their subordinates to try and recruit Huang Zuntian and his group.

The second wave to clear was from the Heavenly Dao Hidden Sect. There was no surprise, as they had strength in numbers, but they cleared on the second day.

“Hahaha, we’re too fast! A whole month, and we cleared on the second day!”

The Black Hell Chicken laughed proudly.

The others were also laughing; it was too easy.

The Resentment Demons were indeed powerful, but they also had many formidable individuals on their side.

Just then, a Grand Dao Deity flew over and informed them of their ranking, which made them freeze.

“Huang Zuntian… the Life Lord…”

Han Huang’s eyes flickered, revealing a fighting spirit.

Throughout this journey, he had been incredibly impressive, almost always displaying his divine abilities.

He didn’t expect someone to be faster than him, and he felt provoked.

Just then, a teleportation array in the distance lit up, and a terrifying aura emanated from it. Clearly, the battle had just ended, and the killing intent had not yet subsided.

Everyone looked at the figure, only to see a single Heaven’s Chosen rush out. He was alone.

The Heaven’s Chosen of the Heavenly Dao Hidden Sect were secretly startled. This fellow, alone, was not much slower than them.

But they hadn’t seen him before they entered.

This meant that during the time they were talking, this Heaven’s Chosen had cut through the densest layers of Resentment Demons.

A Grand Dao Deity flew over to record his ranking.

The Great Heavenly Divine King!

The Great Heavenly Divine King glanced at Han Huang and quickly departed.

“Let’s go too.”

Dao Zhizun snorted, very displeased with the Great Heavenly Divine King for daring to ignore him.

The others didn’t think much of it and quickly left.

Although the Resentment Demons were strong, their intelligence was low, their minds consumed by killing intent and malevolence. Thus, it wasn’t too difficult for the Heaven’s Chosen to deal with them. As long as the cultivation gap wasn’t too large and the difference in numbers wasn’t too great, it was relatively easy to pass the stage.

Ten Absolute City became lively again. Whenever a Heaven’s Chosen cleared, their name would quickly spread throughout the city. Not only that, but after entering the city, the Heaven’s Chosen would also be courted by various forces.

And in the palace where the mighty figures gathered, seemingly harmonious, undercurrents surged.

If their private actions were connected, it would be even more bustling than Ten Absolute City.

Han Jue could overhear everything. Some mighty figures looked serious but were roaring frantically in private, the contrast making him want to laugh.

Many even set their sights on his disciples and grand-disciples.

Han Jue wasn’t displeased by this. He knew he hadn’t paid enough attention to his disciples and grand-disciples, and couldn’t even offer them convenience in terms of power, so he allowed them to develop their own social networks.

Of course, all of this was based on their favorability.

If a disciple’s favorability towards him dropped to an unsatisfactory level, he would have to reprimand them or pay close attention.

However, fortunately, so far, his direct disciples had not disappointed him.

The first stage, the Demon Treading Path, passed quickly in a month.

The second stage was about to begin.

The entire Ten Absolute City was looking forward to the second stage.

Ten Thousand Strong, Thousand Lords, Hundred Venerables, Ten Absolutes—the further it went, the more popular it would surely become.

“The first stage, the Demon Treading Path, has concluded. A total of 27,042 Heaven’s Chosen have cleared!”

“The second stage will commence in half a year. All Heaven’s Chosen, prepare yourselves.”

“The second stage is ‘Challenging the Strongest,’ where all Heaven’s Chosen will collectively challenge the Divine Might Heavenly Sage!”

The voice of the Ultimate Punishment Divine Venerable resounded throughout the city. The next second, the entire city fell silent.

All living beings felt they had misheard.

Challenging the Divine Might Heavenly Sage?

What in the world?

Inside the main hall, all the mighty figures were stunned, then erupted into chaos.

A frantic Grand Dao Supreme stood up and asked, “Challenging the Divine Might Heavenly Sage? How is that possible? And how will the rankings be determined?”
