257: The battle of destiny, walking in Cangwu

Aside from the Dark Night Tower, the changes in the Tianwu Imperial Domain also astonished various major powers.

The originally weak Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, supported by a certain power, established the Wuqian Empire. This Empire first unified the Eastern Thirteen Territories of the Tianwu Imperial Domain at an incredibly exaggerated speed, with its nine super-powers either submitting or being annihilated.

Afterward, the Wuqian Empire expanded rapidly to the north, south, and west, easily unifying all three regions.

The powers in the Central Heaven Divine Continent were in a state of panic; some chose to seclude themselves, some sought allegiance, and others resisted.

In particular, a Peerless Quasi-Emperor emerged from the Tianwu Empire, leading to the formation of a resistance Alliance.

This war lasted for two years, finally ending a year ago with the submission of the Tianwu Empire.

The Wuqian Empire, at a miraculous speed, unified the entire Tianwu Imperial Domain, and because it harbored a Peerless Quasi-Emperor, it squeezed into the ranks of the strongest powers just below the Peak powers, enjoying immense prestige!

Apart from the above powers, a power named Guyou Alliance in the Southern Wilderness of the Nanming Imperial Domain successively conquered eleven major territories in the Southern Wilderness of the Nanming Imperial Domain, defeating three super-powers and more than a dozen top-tier powers.

It is said that the Guyou Alliance possesses several Quasi-Emperor Perfection powerhouses, drawing attention from all sides.

Besides the Nanming Divine Continent, many powers also emerged across the Eternal Continent.

For example, in Xuanming Lake, a power named Xuanhuang Hall was particularly prominent, annihilating the Su Family, one of the six great families of Xuanming Lake, and slaying two Quasi-Emperor Perfection Ancient Ancestors of the Su Family. From then on, Xuanming Lake formed a situation of one hall and five clans.

In the Land of Chaos, a power named Star Palace rose forcefully. Within four years, it challenged fourteen super-powers in the eastern Land of Chaos, slaying them and becoming the new overlord of the eastern Land of Chaos!

Meanwhile, in the Second Star Ring, a power named Tianyang Sect was also rapidly rising. It is said that the people of the Tianyang Sect Cultivate the Power Of Faith; whenever they conquer a race, they establish a divine kingdom and various temples to worship the Tianyang Sect powerhouses.

Regarding the Power Of Faith, many people in the Eternal Dao Realm Cultivate it. After all, after the destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court, its methods of faith spread among various races, and since this power only operated in the Second Star Ring, not much attention was paid to it.

In the Five Turbid Ghost Realm of the Netherworld, a power named Yin Court also rose. It is said that its controller is named King of Hell and is very mysterious.

This power has now swept across the entire Human Tribulation Domain, and even slew two Peerless Quasi-Emperors, thereby alarming the other nine domains. However, this news is not widely known among the powers of the Netherworld due to the various Ghost Realms being self-governing, let alone among the races of the Yang Realm!

Additionally, in the Central Heaven Divine Continent, Dongxuan Divine Continent, and Xi Yan Divine Continent, many powers that had been reclusive since the Middle Ages have emerged. Currently, the only Divine Continent without any activity is the Beiming Divine Continent.

However, due to the isolation of Beiming Lake, the Beiming Divine Continent has little contact with the outside world, so even if some power rises, only those powers that pay attention to the Beiming Divine Continent would be aware.

With the emergence of various reclusive powers from the Middle Ages, it signifies that the Golden Great Era is about to arrive. This was confirmed by an Eternal Giants from Heavens Secret Pavilion: the Golden Great Era will begin in ten years.

This is also the reason for the emergence of reclusive powers from the Middle Ages.

Contending for the Mandate of Heaven means contending for Luck. Reclusive powers from the Middle Ages, limited by their foundations, cannot compete with Peak powers or even reclusive powers from ancient times, so they choose to emerge early and enter the fray, allowing their Prodigies to seize Opportunities as much as possible and strengthen themselves.

Every Great Era brings forth Opportunities in heaven and earth, as well as various ruins sealed by heaven and earth, and this is one of the ways for smaller powers to contend for the Mandate of Heaven.

Among the Mandate of Heaven bearers throughout history, there was a Loose Cultivator who, through various Opportunities of the Great Era, ultimately seized the Mandate of Heaven and attained the Dao.

Therefore, the Great Dao is ruthless, but it also leaves a glimmer of hope for the world.

Not only on the Eternal Continent, but some reclusive powers of various races have also emerged to contend for the Mandate of Heaven in their respective Dao Realms.

This Great Era is called the Golden Great Era because an ancient Heavens Secret Pavilion powerhouse prophesied that three hundred Mandates of Heaven would descend in this era. The top one hundred races would each have at least one quota, while races outside the top one hundred would only be able to compete for the remaining thirty scarce quotas.

For example, the Human Race, as the largest race in the current Dao Realm, is said to have nine quotas, followed by the Yao Race with eight, the Nether Race with seven, and the Demon Race, God Race, Buddha Race, and other top ten races each having five.

The competition is incredibly fierce. The Eternal Dao Realm is vast and boundless, with countless races and powerhouses. Many powers from the Middle Ages and even ancient times have gathered in this era, but there are only three hundred Mandate of Heaven bearers, making the competition extremely intense.

Cangwu Academy!

Since Xu Yuan shone brightly at Immortal Sword Cliff several years ago, he returned to the academy and then entered the Time Realm for closed-door Cultivation.

Cangwu Academy also provided ample resources, and there were even rumors that Cangwu Academy had unanimously decided to establish Xu Yuan as Master Cangwu.

Master Cangwu refers to the current generation's representative of Cangwu Academy, who travels the world on behalf of Cangwu Academy. This is equivalent to being the successor of a power.

This also caused dissatisfaction among some Prodigies of Cangwu Academy.

And the person in question is still Cultivating in the Time Realm.

Deep within the Time Realm!

At this moment, a hundred-mile radius around Xu Yuan was filled with terrifying Sword Qi. These Sword Qi emitted an incredibly rich Dao rhyme, and one could even clearly feel a strong killing intent.

At the center of the Sword Qi, Xu Yuan resembled a Supreme Sword Dao, intimidating all living beings.

However, Xu Yuan's thoughts were not on this, but within his Origin Heaven and Earth.

Within the Origin Heaven and Earth, various mountains, rivers, and lakes had materialized.

Under the nourishment of majestic spiritual essence, various Divine Plants and sacred souls thrived.

At the very center of the Origin Heaven and Earth was a colossal mountain range. Atop its Peak, countless Sword Dao Origins constantly rotated, emitting layers of terrifying divine light.

If Xu Qing were present, he would realize that Xu Yuan was comprehending the Dao. If he took this step, he would be equivalent to his Revered Master Jin Yi, controlling a trace of the power of the Great Dao.

Yet, Xu Yuan's current Cultivation was only at the Saint Monarch Realm.

With each breath Xu Yuan took, the various Sword Dao Origins around his body grew, increasing every moment.

As time passed, the Sword Dao power around Xu Yuan's sacred soul trembled. The next moment, it transformed into numerous small figures wielding swords, some laughing heartily, some deeply sorrowful, some with an immortal-like demeanor, some with surging Devilish Qi... like gods of Sword Dao, seated in the Void Realm, emitting profound Sword Dao heavenly sounds.

Strips of Sword Dao heavenly pillars also condensed, making Xu Yuan's sacred soul even more mysterious.

Suddenly, Xu Yuan's sacred soul trembled, and the small Sword Dao figures behind him, as well as the Sword Dao heavenly pillars, instantly dissipated.

"Just that little bit!"

In the outside world, Xu Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of unwillingness in them!

"The Supreme Sword Dao should govern all Sword Cultivators and myriad Sword Daos in heaven and earth. Now, I have comprehended the myriad sword methods, but I have yet to comprehend the power of the Great Dao. Because of this, the Supreme Sword Body cannot undergo a fundamental transformation and reach the Major Achievement realm!"

"Revered Master once said that the Sword Cultivator's Dao is forged through slaughter. Perhaps I should go out and travel!"

"Now is the Golden Great Era, with Geniuses emerging in droves. It is the time for me to hone my sword!"

"Oh well! It has been several years since I returned to the clan. I wonder how Big Brother is doing!"

Since Xu Qing gave him the Peerless Quasi-Emperor Cultivation four years ago, Xu Qing had not communicated with him, which made him feel a bit nostalgic.

A crystal appeared in Xu Yuan's hand. This was the Cultivation crystal of a Peerless Quasi-Emperor. He had a premonition that by using this crystal, he could comprehend a trace of the power of the Supreme Sword Dao.

However, he did not do so, but instead put it away.

His experiences over these years made him abandon this shortcut; a sword should emerge victorious from slaughter!

A Sword Dao-exclusive Aura surged from his body.

The next day, news of the Cangwu representative's impending journey across the Eternal Continent spread, even reaching the ears of myriad races!
