Boundless Mirror, Upper Grade Pure Yuan Treasure
As the crimson sun crossed the boundless sea, the entire Crimson Flame City erupted in excitement. Figures leaped to the tops of various buildings, craning their necks to look out, and the city's main thoroughfares were packed with people.
High in the sky, a vast mirror of light continuously shone, and the reflections of mountains and rivers flashed across its surface. One could vaguely see ten ancient peaks guarding a majestic central Giant Peak.
The Boundless Mirror, Upper Grade Pure Yuan Treasure, has its own internal space and is also the competition venue provided by the Flame God Hall for this event. It has attracted the attention of most people in the world.
The competition rules are that the contestants first compete for the Peak Seal of the ten secondary peaks, and then these ten people will determine the final champion, who will climb to the top of the main peak and obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.
Countless geniuses from various regions of the Chaotic Demon Sea stared intently at the ancient rune that was constantly flashing with lightning atop the main peak.
"Those two rats, Xu Xiu and Hua Chen, haven't shown up yet. It seems they plan to stay hidden and sneak into the Boundless Mirror."
High up in a towering pavilion, Tang Xinlian leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, her ample bosom subtly outlined, her posture languid and relaxed.
"Ignore them. As long as the Yi Mo want to obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, Xu Xiu and his companion will inevitably appear among the Master of the Ten Peaks. If they dare to show up, I will kill them."
Deep within Lin Dong's pupils, endless black and silver light flickered, faintly emanating a strange charm.
"Buzz!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the space rippled slightly, and Mo Luo, draped in a crimson cloak, suddenly appeared above Crimson Flame City, and the noisy crowd fell silent.
"Without further ado, I hereby declare: This year 'Thunder Hegemony Tournament officially begins!"
Mo Luo, whose brow was adorned with an ancient Flame rune, surveyed the world beneath his feet and announced in a deep and majestic voice.
"Boom!"
The dense crowd suddenly exploded, and the various prodigies who had been waiting for their turn activated their movement techniques and rushed frantically into the ancient mirror. The surface of the Boundless Mirror rippled and flickered like the surface of water, continuously absorbing the flow of people like a bottomless pit.
"Let's go too. The Boundless Mirror will teleport the crowd to any corner of the inner space. We might get separated, so be careful."
Tang Xinlian and Lin Dong exchanged a glance and then leaped into the Myriad-Foot Mirror of Light.
Two figures suddenly appeared on the lush green hillside.
"Hey, big brother, we're still together! That's great."
The petite figure reached out and took Lin Dong's large hand, laughing sweetly.
"It's really good to encounter opponents as soon as you get here."
Lin Dong slowly raised his head, looking at the two people rushing towards him with great interest.
The man was burly, with bare arms, and a faint blood shark pattern on his rough face, which was covered with a menacing aura; the woman was petite and delicate, with a pretty face, but her overall temperament was ruined by the strong shrewishness on her face.
At the feet of the man and woman lay four or five mangled corpses, likely killed by their sneak attacks. With a lineup of two experts at the Death Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement Peak and another at the Lesser Completion of the Death Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement, it's no wonder the two were able to succeed repeatedly.
"Sha Li and Sha Ling? Big brother, they are direct descendants of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe, members of that bunch of stinky sharks."
A hint of disgust immediately appeared between Mu Lingshan's brows.
"I could tell; I could smell the fishy odor on them from a great distance."
Lin Dong glanced at the blood shark pattern between their brows and smiled faintly.
"Mu Lingshan?!"
The couple who were just about to use the same trick again to attack the clueless contestants were also suddenly stunned, clearly recognizing Mu Lingshan's identity.
"What? You stinky sharks, you still want to attack me? My great-grandfather has already said that if the Blood Demon Shark Tribe dares to bare its teeth at my Undying Sacred Whale Tribe again, then it will be completely erased from the map of the Sea Demon Tribe."
Mu Lingshan stepped forward and arrogantly raised her chin.
"You..."
Sha Li and Sha Ling's expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly.
A month ago, a fanatical martial arts faction within the Blood Demon Shark Tribe acted rashly and attacked the lone Little Princess of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe, immediately provoking a Gale and Rain and relentless attack from this top-tier Overlord Clan.
Of the four remaining experts at the Samsara Stage Realm, one died on the spot, and the other three were all seriously injured. They barely escaped with their lives, and then suffered a severe hemorrhage before finally sending away the enraged Second Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe.
Most importantly, the deceased expert at the Samsara Stage was the ancestor of Sha Li and Li's lineage, and the pillar supporting their lineage collapsed.
The ruthless methods and thunderous retaliation of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe immediately shocked the Blood Demon Shark Tribe. While quickly suppressing many inappropriate thoughts, they also gradually fell silent and lay low, silently licking their wounds.
With the passing of their ancestor, Sha Li and Sha Ling, whose situation within the clan was becoming increasingly difficult, had no choice but to grit their teeth and participate in the Thunder Hegemony Tournament, intending to take control of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol and create another Samsara Stage expert for their clan.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Mu Lingshan, the "source of chaos," here today. How could Sha Li companion not be alarmed? They had almost sparked another war between the two races!
"Sha Ling, let's go."
Sha Li's expression changed rapidly for a moment, then he turned around and hurriedly left with his companions without looking back. If they couldn't afford to offend them, couldn't they at least avoid them?
"Hmph, you stinky sharks, you still dare to be arrogant?"
Seeing this, Mu Lingshan looked like a victorious general returning home, strutting around and making faces at the departing figures of the two.
"Tsk, so they've got their eye on me? They still don't recognize me, do they?"
Recalling the subtle, almost imperceptible, glances the two had given him when they left, Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle. People who court death are truly unstoppable.
"LingShan, let's go. Let's get to the core area as soon as possible. The Boundless Ten Peaks will open soon."
Lin Dong, having gathered his thoughts, patted Mu Lingshan's head, and the two quickly disappeared from the spot.
On an ancient tree several hundred feet away.
"Brother Shali, are we just going to let this go? I can't swallow this insult! Our lineage's ancestor died tragically because of this girl!!"
The Blood Demon Shark girl named Sha Ling angrily threw a punch, which shook the towering ancient tree and scattered leaves everywhere.
"Let it go? Of course we can't let it go like that. We can't touch that girl Mu Lingshan, but can't we touch her friend? I'll find a chance to kill that kid in black and make Mu Lingshan feel guilty to death."
"Furthermore, just because you can't be a match for Mu Lingshan doesn't mean you can't compete with her for the Thunder Ancestral Symbol. You can go up the same peak as her and prevent her from getting the Peak Seal. You can openly and honestly make things difficult for her. I don't believe the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe will take action because of this."
A deep shadow appeared on Sha Li's rugged face, which was filled with a strong sense of menace. When it came to scheming, he was second to none.
"Okay, let's do it this way!"
Sha Ling swung her fist fiercely in mid-air.
