186: A divine eye? A blind man? (Seventy-one)

The 15,000 Prodigies from the Five Domains were completely stunned.

Every single one of them was a victor who had fought their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in their respective regions.

They were the favored children of heaven, the strongest among their peers, the future Dominators.

They had assumed they were the protagonists of this emperors road contention.

Yet, the scene before them made their hearts skip a beat, and they instantly calmed down.

Gathered here were beings from different worlds, different races, and various forms.

Some had wings, surrounded by lightning.

Others were shaped like mountains, their skin made of ancient rock.

Every aura was powerful and unfamiliar.

The innate pride of the Five Domains Prodigies seemed somewhat ridiculous at this moment.

Just then.

A cold shout full of arrogance broke the eerie balance.

"A bunch of rabble, daring to block my way? Get lost!"

A Divine Body Prodigy from the Central Region could no longer endure the crowding in front of him.

He came from an immortal Holy Land and had swept through his generation, long since developing an arrogant personality.

At this moment, his Divine Body power erupted, and the brilliant divine light turned into a shockwave, attempting to push away all the "foreign beings" in the area in front of him.

Before him was a humanoid youth with a thin frame, pale blue skin, and a pair of pointed ears.

The youth seemed to be affected by the shockwave of divine light and stumbled.

The Central Region Prodigy sneered with disdain.

However.

The thin alien youth slowly turned his head.

He did not speak, but a strange, ghostly light lit up in his pure black eyes.

Hum.

An invisible, indescribable, and eerie fluctuation instantly swept across.

The sneer on the face of that arrogant Central Region Divine Body Prodigy froze abruptly.

He then let out a miserable scream, clutching his head as he fell to the ground.

His Divine Soul flooded with excruciating pain, as if it had been pierced by countless steel needles.

He rolled and convulsed wildly on the ground.

His Divine Soul had suffered devastating damage in an instant.

This sudden scene caused the surroundings to fall silent.

All the arrogance of the Five Domains Prodigies vanished at this moment.

Replacing it was deep dread and vigilance.

They finally realized that they were no longer the center of the world.

"The Ancient Starry Road was not opened solely for our Ten Directions Ancient Realm."

In the crowd, a Prodigy with a Saint Body who had been sealed since ancient times spoke with a solemn expression, offering an explanation.

His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every Five Domains Prodigy around him.

"The realm we are in is called the 'Ancient Realm' by the outside world. Because of its strength and having the most dao platform slots, it is known as a 'Superior Realm'."

"And in this Universe sea, there are thousands of realms."

"Those 'Middle-tier Realms' might only have a few hundred slots. More 'Inferior Realms' have even only a few dozen, or just a few slots."

"But their goal is the same as ours."

"They are all fighting for that one and only Emperor's Mandate."

You Chen felt several auras around him that were not inferior to his own, and even more bizarre and unfathomable.

Instead of fear, his Battle Intent grew even stronger.

He looked at Qing Yao beside him and said in a deep voice: "It seems this road is much more interesting than we thought."

Qing Yao nodded silently, tightening her grip on her Azure Phoenix Sword, her originally cold eyes becoming even more vigilant.

On the other side.

Zi Yuan was also shocked by this grand scene.

But she quickly calmed down and swiftly restrained her clansmen.

"Restrain your auras, find a corner, and do not conflict with anyone."

She no longer confronted You Chen, instead focusing all her attention on those powerful foreign beings.

In a corner of the crowd.

Jun Yun still had his eyes covered, leaning on a wooden stick.

In his heart, there was no shock, only a sense of realization: "As expected."

This vast world was the true stage he wanted to traverse.

His Minds Eye swept across the entire scene, once again searching for that mysterious "youth in simple clothes."

But still, he found nothing.

Just then.

In the center of the square, an ancient "boundary monument" made of the same material as the Star Realm Gate lit up.

Ancient cosmic divine scripts appeared upon it.

A grand will translated the meaning of the words and imprinted it into everyone's mind.

The first trial is now open.

Trial content: "Ten Gods Corridor".

The Teleportation Array leading to the next ancient star is located at the end of a ten-thousand-meter-long ancient corridor.

Inside the corridor, ten "Star Puppets" with Heavenly God level combat power stand guard.

Passing condition: Use your strength to break through the "Ten Gods Corridor" to activate the Teleportation Array.

The trial is permanently open and can be challenged at any time. After the Puppets are defeated, they will reassemble in a short period.

Prodigies can choose when to challenge; those with insufficient strength can stay on this star to Cultivate and seek Opportunity.

Defeating the Puppets for the first time will drop varying amounts of "Star Fragments".

This item is hard currency on the Ancient Starry Road and can also be used to assist in Cultivation.

The rules were announced.

Immediately, several powerful beings from other realms, whose auras had already reached the Heavenly God level, moved.

Without hesitation, they were the first to rush into the corridor exuding an ancient aura.

Boom!

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

The terrifying combat power of the Heavenly God level Puppets made the vast majority of Five Domains Prodigies, whose average combat power was at the Peak of the True God Realm, wisely suppress their impulses.

Charging in blindly was just a path to death.

They immediately scattered to explore this ancient star, which was unimaginably rich in Spiritual Qi, looking for Opportunities to Breakthrough.

You Chen glanced at the corridor, his expression calm.

Heavenly God level Puppets posed no threat to him.

He exchanged a glance with Qing Yao and decided to break through immediately.

They needed to seize the initiative.

Seeing You Chen set off, Zi Yuan in the distance looked stern, unwilling to fall behind.

She snorted coldly and also led her clansmen toward the corridor.

Jun Yun did not move.

He found a corner near the corridor entrance, seemingly resting, but in reality, his mind was highly focused.

His Minds Eye carefully observed the battle of the first batch of challengers.

This First Ancient Star was a massive treasure trove in itself.

He was not in a hurry.

Just then.

You Chen and Qing Yao stepped into the corridor simultaneously.

The ten ten-zhang tall Star Puppets instantly lit up with red light, fully activated.

They charged from all directions with intense killing intent.

You Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He simply took a step forward.

The space behind him distorted slightly.

A trace of the Dao rhyme of "Nirvana Singularity" flashed and vanished.

Any Puppet that came within ten zhang of him had the Laws constituting its core instantly thrown into chaos.

Their movements froze abruptly.

The light on their bodies dimmed rapidly.

Finally, their energy cores completely extinguished, turning into piles of lusterless rocks, collapsing with a bang.

You Chen walked as if strolling in a courtyard.

He walked forward step by step.

The Puppets beside him fell one by one.

When he reached the end of the corridor, the ten Heavenly God level Puppets had all turned into common stones.

Under the stunned gaze of the crowd of Prodigies, he calmly stepped into the Teleportation Array and disappeared.

"Who is this person..."

"With such strength, I fear he is infinitely close to the King level..."

An experienced elder Prodigy from a Superior Realm said, his voice dry.

On the other side.

Zi Yuan's Breakthrough was much more intense.

She displayed the power of the Purple Phoenix Saint Body, with divine flames raging, engaging in a fierce battle with the ten Puppets.

In the end, she fought a bloody battle, and after exhausting nearly half of her Origin power, she barely managed to defeat all the Puppets, stepping into the Teleportation Array covered in injuries.

You Chen's overwhelming Breakthrough made him the focus of all Prodigies on the First Ancient Star instantly.

A terrifying powerhouse whose name was unknown became synonymous with the first tier in everyone's minds.
