Wang Wei and the group teleported to the Sky Blue Domain on the eastern side of the Central Continent. Their destination was the Blood Fish River, a relatively famous river in the continent because of a special fish called Blood Fish.

The fish was an excellent resource to temper the body, so many Divine Body Realm cultivators will use it. Furthermore, it is also beneficial for healing injuries.

A crack opened near the river, and Wang Wei's group suddenly appeared. Immediately, everyone suddenly became tense. Because of Wang Wei's fame and prestige, most people regarded him as the biggest threat to this battle.

So, thousands of eyes secretly looked at him once he arrived. Some bold people even tried to test his power with their Divine Sense. Unfortunately, these stupid people suffered the consequences of their actions as Li Jun released a terrifying killing intent that destroyed their Divine Sense, thus giving these people a small penalty.

'Did you notice?' asked Yan Liling through Divine Sense.

'Yes, poison,' replied Tie Gang. Many Heaven Chosen secretly released poison to affect the surroundings.

'I'm speechless some people use this kind of f low-level tactic,' added Li Jun. Any factions with any experience in participating in the final battle know to be weary at the entrance. So, guarding against things like poison and spiritual hints was basic common sense.

'This tactic might useless for us, but it might work for some of the Supreme Lineages–especially the ones who only cultivate a Quasi-Emperor in this generation," commented Wang Wei.

Not all Supreme Lineages participate in the final battle. After all, as long as a faction has a True Monarch, they are a Supreme Lineage. As such, many do not have the experience to guard against such tactics.

'True.'

Wang Wei looked around and recognized the participants–especially the one he had dealt with. However, he frowned when he realized there were a few he had no information on.

'Young Master, I'm sorry for my dereliction of duty,' suddenly said Wang Ju.

'It's fine. There is no absolute, so it's normal if you don't information on some people.'

Wang Wei knew the final battle was full of uncertainty. Some factions would hide behind the scene and show up at the last minute. As such, he would not blame Wang Ju for something outside of her capabilities.

Wang Wei then paid attention to Mo Xingyun and Yu Zhou. The Heaven Devouring Emperor showed in his true form and did use a puppet. Yu Zhou had acquired a new body, but his soul aura was easily recognized.

He knew why these guys were so confident to show before him–they were protected. The moment the final battle's date arrived, the participants' Entrance Token turned into the best defensive treasure in the entire Myriad Emperor World.

Even if an Eternal Supreme attacked them, the latter would be unsuccessful because these participants were protected by Heavenly Dao. And during this period, the power of Heavenly Dao was at an all-time high. If anyone dares to threaten the accomplishment of the battle, Heavenly Dao has the right to borrow power from True Heavenly Dao and eliminate the threat.

So, before entering the place of the battle, competitors can scheme against each other but cannot kill one another.historical

'I wonder whether Maitreya and Supreme Unity can interfere in the battle? Heavenly Dao should not be able to stop them, but would Grand Dao show up if they tried?' thought Wang Wei before focusing on another strange person covered in a hood, hiding from head to toe.

'This aura seemed familiar, but I couldn't recognize who it was.' The person stood alone, so he could not tell who it was based on their generals. Suddenly, Wang Wei's eyes changed, and he saw something.

'Him? Why did he change so much?' He frowned as another variable that he did not account for appeared. Although he was not worried, he knew it was taboo to be careless during such an important event.

'Keep an eye on him,' warned Wang Wei to Li Jun.

'I will.'

A crack appeared, and Di Tian's group arrived, followed by four people following him. Wang Wei glanced at him, resentment hidden deep in his eyes.

A part of him blamed this bastard for Wu Hong's departure. If he was not so powerful and such a threat to him, how would she be forced to use her Emperor's Strength twice because of him?

Of course, he blamed himself more. After all, if he was not so weak and forced into terrible situations multiple times, maybe she would still be with him. Even if she would one day dissipate, the time could be extended to before he ascended to the upper dimension.

Wang Wei took a deep breath to control his emotions; he knew he had to be in the best state of mind for this battle, so he entered a state of intense focus and no distraction.

Less than half an hour later, a scroll appeared above the sky with the rules of this battle.

"A One Last Man Standing Battle," Yan Liling stated.

"We already theorized this was the possibility," commented Li Jun.

"In this way, luck has no effect on who can prove the Dao in this generation," added Wang Wei. According to the sect's records, there are different types of Heaven Will Battle.

The most common one is everybody fights, and at some point, the Heaven Will will appear, and the participants will rush over to get their hands on it. With this method, some lucky individuals might be closer to the Heaven Will and be lucky enough to be the final winner. However, they still have to survive until it appears.

This is what happened in Wang Chang's generation. When there were less than five people battling it out, the Heaven Will appeared. However, Emperor Nine Suns, who was playing dead, suddenly appeared and released a devastating illusion on the remaining contestants before taking the Heaven Will.

The other type of battle is [One Last Man Standing]. As the name implies, the Heaven Will will not appear until all participants are dead or defeated. The Heaven Will will then appear in the palm of the last man standing.

For this type of battle, luck is meaningless, and only strength and strategy matter. This type of battle is considered the cruelest of the bunch and usually cultivates the highest quality of the Great Emperor.

"I thought the rules would much crueler," said Tie Gang as he looked at one of the rules that state participants can give up and receive protection. However, they will no longer be able to interfere in the battle nor receive the Heaven Will. Furthermore, the participant cannot give up in the midst of battle and right before dying.

Wang Wei understood the reason for this rule; Heavenly Dao wanted to save as many Heaven Chosens of this generation as possible since many had the potential to become Eternal Emperors.

'Young master, Wu Ming sent us a secret signal,' said Wang Ju through Divine Sense.

'Ignore him for now; there are too many eyes on us now.'

'I will secretly contact him after we enter.'

'Alright, but cautious of his possible betrayal.'

Wang Wei knew Wu Ming's objective was to use his power to destroy the Origin Rune Palace and avenge his ancestor. And he did not mind helping the latter. After all, no matter how weak the current Origin Rune Palace was, it was still an Emperor Lineage created by one of the Ancestors from the Ancient Emperor Era.

The destiny of reestablishing the Formation Dao in the Myriad Emperor World would greatly benefit the sect. Regardless, he still needed to have his guard against possible treachery.

Bang!

An enormous white portal suddenly manifested before the group. Then, their entrance token suddenly appeared before everyone, emanating a brilliant light.

'Finally.'

One by one, the participants entered the portal, including Wang Wei's group.

"Is this the battleground?" muttered Wang Wei and the others, who found themselves on a deserted planet with no one in sight. They took one step and appeared outside of the planet's atmosphere.

The group saw countless planets, comets, stars, and galaxies.

"A cosmic world setting? This is rare," commented Yan Liling, who knew such a setting for the final battle was rare according to the sect's record.

"This place is as large as 3 continents," commented Li Jun as he used his Divine Sense to sense the trillions of galaxies in the surroundings. "Moreover, there seems to be other stuff."

Li Jun felt the space was extremely solid that even ordinary Quasi-Emperors could not teleport. Moreover, his Divine Sense was also restricted in the size it could be spread.

"Isn't this place a little extravagant for a battle?" asked Tie Gang.

"Not really, if you consider big brother and Di Tian's strength," responded Li Jun.

"Heavenly Dao canceled the previous generation's battle and cut off their Supreme Path to preserve more World Source and condense more destiny for this generation," said Yan Liling with a sneer. "However, it never considered two anomalies like big brother and Di Tian, so it must have been forced to use extra World Source to create this battlefield."

pαпdα Й?νê|,сòМ "Let's not waste time. We have a plan for a setting such as this, so let's start," calmly said Wang Wei. The others agreed, so they took action.

A hundred million troops appeared on the planet, including professionals like Cai Song.
