The core of the Initial Land.
A vast medicinal herb field stretched out before us, shimmering with light and vibrant colors.
In the medicinal herb field, a section of tree root grows into the sky, spitting out lightning and nourishing itself with the Five Elements of Thunder Fire.
A single Ganoderma lucidum is larger than a mountain, its spores drifting in the air, with fine, Dao Pattern- like patterns connecting the spores and pollen, like a Dharma Net hanging high above.
A sacred flower blooms from a towering vine, its light raining down upon the land, distorting space and Time and Space.
A boundless vitality bursts forth, the Dao Rhythm is terrifyingly strong, and all sorts of Dao Elixir vie for attention, growing vigorously. Only one lake remains, serene and tranquil, seemingly impervious to Ten Thousand Laws...
Jiang Ping appeared there, and the moment they looked away, their eyes welled up with tears.
Li Li, who was holding the umbrella, exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, unable to conceal her greed.
Jiang Yourong gazed at the Five-Elements Wood Root, her emotions surging violently. That was the legendary innate spiritual root, capable of greatly enhancing one's potential.
Tang Sheng was so excited by the sight of the garden full of Dao Elixir, including many unique and potent ones, that he almost drooled with excitement and was repeatedly astonished.
"There are too many resources!"
Even the usually reserved Fang Xin showed a look of shock.
Zhong Shenxiu looked into the distance and smiled faintly.
"No need to look anymore, most of them are not meant for you."
An untimely voice suddenly broke through Li Li and the others' astonishment.
Jiang Ping looked up and saw a young man with Dao Mark between his eyebrows looking down at him.
Lin Zhizhen immediately transmitted her voice, informing the other party that they came from the core area and were a Mid-Rank Dao Monarch with a considerable reputation.
Of course, his strength is not a concern; the key is that this person comes from the Wendaomeng.
At this moment, a round table stretched across the sky, and almost all the outstanding individuals of Xuanhuang gathered around it. Even Super Genius like Ren Ran and Xie Wen were not the most outstanding and could not stand at the forefront.
Because this competition involves everyone, all the major Fate Child have already entered the fray.
Near the round table, ten thrones lay across the room, and nine people were already seated, each Unrivaled Qi Mechanism, their presence distorting the space and Time and Space around them.
Undoubtedly, those who occupy the highest positions are all Fate Child.
Ling Qinghe sat high on the throne, everyone dignified. She looked at Jiang Ping below, a complex look flashing in her eyes, while the Fate Child Zhan Yin beside her revealed a cold expression.
Opposite the two, Xu Yuan Zhou Huang also sat upright on their thrones, staring at Jiang Ping, their emotions fluctuating slightly.
"Hehe."
A tall, handsome young man stood alongside Ling Qinghe and the others. When he saw Jiang Ping appear, he couldn't help but sneer.
Behind him, Wang Ping Zhu Xuan, and other prodigies stood quietly.
On the other side, on the throne sat an extraordinary Dao Companion, followed by a group of powerful figures, including Yu Xian Ye Xiao and the man with the mark who had just mocked Jiang Ping and the others.
They were all the pride of the Dao Alliance, and even in the chaotic Initial Land, they were still considered one of the top teams.
Xiao Ran looked up and saw that Zhang Daowei, once the most spirited genius of the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture, was now unable to squeeze into the front of the round table.
At this moment, Jiang Ping and his companions arrived at the round table.
At this time, almost all the seats in the front row of the round table were occupied, with only one seat remaining, adjacent to the Dao Alliance.
"That's Yu Changqing's position. Don't act impulsively."
Lei Fang couldn't help but send a telepathic message. He noticed that Jiang Ping had immediately set his sights on the empty seats.
"Huh? There are still seats available."
Another line appeared, and when they saw there were still seats available in the front, they immediately wanted to move closer. However, when they learned who the empty seats were for, they stopped abruptly, their expressions becoming somewhat unnatural.
"Brother, we'll just stand in the back."
Long Zhan couldn't help but send a telepathic message.
"Hmm." Fate Child's Long Ye nodded calmly.
Nearly two years ago, his faction was slaughtered by Jiang Ping, who had just entered the Dao Monarch realm and possessed Chaos Body. How could they dare to offend Yu Changqing, who was even more powerful, now?
Long Ye glanced around and noticed the direction Jiang Ping was heading; his expression immediately turned strange.
"He's still as domineering as ever, does he have some kind of trump card?"
Xie Wen squinted.
Yu Changqing hasn't arrived yet, but the Dao Alliance has already reserved a place for him, and no one dares to object.
Only Jiang Ping, wanting to usurp the throne.
The actions of this Chaos Dao Monarch attracted everyone's attention.
Some people showed anticipation, eager to witness the battle between the two Chaos Dao Monarch.
Some people had smiles on their faces, as if they wanted to see a joke.
The leaders of the Dao Alliance ranks, both men and women, frowned, their faces turning cold.
Yu Xian, a descendant of Candle Dragon, also frowned, but remembering something, he didn't dare to speak.
The man with the mark between his eyebrows couldn't help but rebuke:
"Halt! This position is not yours to occupy!"
If the Dao Alliance hadn't allied with Yu Changqing, he really wouldn't dare to speak harshly to Jiang Ping right now, since the Alliance Leader was still in the Transformation Stage and couldn't come.
However, with the help of a Chaos Dao Monarch, who is also the strongest Chaos Body to break through another level, the outcome of this journey is predictable.
Whether as Yu Changqing's allies or because the Dao Alliance itself has a grudge against Jiang Ping, they all have to stand up and make their stance clear.
"Um?"
Jiang Ping glanced at it, and following his gaze was a ray of unparalleled mysterious light.
The man with the mark between his eyebrows trembled; the radiance carried a sense of immense weight, as if the Heaven Opening and Earth Creation, and he felt his soul freeze instantly.
At the critical moment, an overwhelming force relieved the pressure on him.
Jiang Ping immediately felt his power blocked. He couldn't help but look up, and what came into view was a Heavenly Spear.
High-Rank Dao Armament!
Only someone of this caliber could control the entire competition for geniuses in the Initial Land.
The Heavenly Spear's majestic voice boomed. "The competition has not yet begun; violence is forbidden."
"You're talking nonsense!!"
Lin Zhizhen, a True Saint of low cultivation level, couldn't help but speak out indignantly.
When the Heavenly Maiden ascended the throne, she was injured by the Fate Child. Why didn't they say then that violence was forbidden?
"I see. When you're hurting outsiders, it's considered fair competition, but when your own people are at a disadvantage, you have to talk about rules and regulations. That's such a biased and double standard."
Tang Sheng couldn't help but sneer.
Zhong Shenxiu and Jiang Ping had a close relationship, so he naturally had to speak up for him.
The Heavenly Spear remained silent, yet it exuded an astonishing power of Order, pressing down on Lin Zhizhen and Tang Sheng until they could hardly breathe, and cracks appeared on their bodies. Lin Zhizhen.
It was a royal artifact that spoke of rules and Order, but when she exposed it, it broke the rules first and put pressure on her, a mere True Saint.
Is there no Heavenly Principle left?!
With a deafening boom, a massive, dark green hand pierced through the clouds and reached for the Heavenly Spear.
Heavenly Spear's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know the rules here? How dare you raise your sword against the king?"
"Why didn't you mention the rules when you were pressuring those two True Saints?"
The giant hand unleashed a vast expanse of light, its speed undiminished.
In an instant, the sky changed color, and Time and Space became distorted.
Everyone's expressions were strange. In this competition for resources and interests, the main characters hadn't even started to clash yet, but instead, two weapons had started fighting first.
Knock knock knock!
The universe resounded as two unparalleled artifacts clashed fiercely, their beams of light tearing through the Void. They fought from the Initial Land to the Xuanhuang, and as everyone witnessed, colossal mountains turned to ashes in an instant.
Jiang Ping was surprised; it was the first time he had ever seen the old tortoise display such domineering power, actually tearing apart a king-level artifact with its bare hands.
With a loud boom, the Heavenly Spear was at a disadvantage, and multiple cracks appeared on its shaft.
Heavenly Spear roared, "I follow the Ancestral Artifact; how dare you harm me?"
"I'm going to beat you up, you bastard."
The Turtle Shell scoffed.
It is not good at fighting, but when it really comes to a fight, its power is just as earth-shattering.
A burst of black fire pierced the heavens and earth, scorching the Heavenly Spear in two.
"Ah!!"
The Heavenly Spear let out a heart-wrenching roar. It was a royal weapon, reigning supreme for tens of thousands of years, but today it was wounded by an Incompleteness piece of Turtle Shell, its body broken into three pieces.
"My lord!"
The Heavenly Spear resonated with the Ancestral Artifact several times, but it sank to the bottom of the sea.
It called out to its other kind deep within the Initial Land, but still received no response.
"Please stop, Your Excellency. According to the rules of this Initial Land, our fight cannot involve the royal weapon."
On the throne, a woman of elegant bearing couldn't help but look at Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping turned around, flicked his sleeve lightly, and a Mid-Rank Monarch instantly bled into the Void.
The one who exploded was none other than the young man with the distinctive mark on his eyebrows who had just shouted at him.
"You..."
The woman on the throne had a cold look in her eyes and a livid face.
Her Dao Companion shouted in a deep voice:
"You broke the rules and tried to steal Yu Changqing's position. Aren't you afraid that person will take serious action against you?"
Jiang Ping raised his eyes, Primordial Mystic Light shone brightly.
This enviable Fate Child, destined for each other, instantly blossomed, like two vibrant flowers blooming.
With a whoosh, Void filled the void.
A sudden chill swept through the air, and the entire place fell silent.
Ever since Yu Changqing broke through, many people have wanted to see Jiang Ping suffer a setback and be humiliated.
However, Yu Changqing has not yet appeared, and he is still displaying a strong presence.
Yu Xian, a descendant of Candle Dragon, was still shaken. He knew that this Chaos Body was unreasonable; before the competition even began, the two Fate Child of the Dao Alliance had been so easily defeated.
Wang Sheng and the others were also extremely surprised. The Dao Alliance leader was already undergoing a transformation, yet Jiang Ping still dared to target the Dao Alliance so blatantly. Wasn't he afraid of facing retribution later?
However, Jiang Ping's killing spree did not stop. He suddenly set his sights on a silent Mid-Rank Monarch, and his Xuan light swept across him in an instant.
With a bang, the Monarch exploded in a miserable state.
Everyone turned pale, falling silent in fear. What was this Chaos Body planning to do?
Call out!
A ray of light Heaven Opening, tearing apart yet another Mid-Rank Monarch, whose True Spirit was on the verge of annihilation.
At this point, the remaining seven people on the throne could no longer remain seated. Zhou Huang frowned and said:
"Jiang Ping, isn't it beneath your dignity to hurt someone like this?"
Jiang Ping raised his eyes, and a ray of wondrous light shattered the golden threads of the female phoenix, nearly causing Zhou Huang to fall from her throne.
Fortunately, she was not the target of the attack; instead, a Mid-Rank Monarch behind her was caught off guard and his blood splattered across the sky.
But this indiscriminate harm still chills the hearts of many.
Ling Qinghe asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Ping suddenly turned around, startling her so much that her face paled. However, his gaze passed over her and landed on a Female Monarch behind him:
"You're actually wearing the same blue robe as me?"
"Ah?"
The Female Monarch was bewildered, but it was too late. She instantly turned into light, her internal organs spilling onto the ground.
Many people's mouths twitched, thinking that this Chaos Dao Monarch had gone mad.
Some people couldn't help but step back, only to instantly meet the Devil Lord's gaze.
"How dare you step with your left foot!"
Everyone: "..."
Without exception, the man exploded on the spot.
For a moment, the place was filled with fear and unease, and Xie Wen Ren Ran were too frightened to make the slightest move.
"Huh? I said the left foot shouldn't go out first, so you went out with your right foot first? You deserve a beating!"
Jiang Ping unleashed a punch, and yet another Monarch exploded.
Lei Fang couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jiang, what's the matter?"
When the cold gaze fell upon him, he froze.
Lei Fang communicated privately, not because he wanted to question them, but because his companion wanted to know.
The crowd was bewildered but impressed, and could only watch as this Dao Monarch went on a killing spree. Many even broke out in a sweat, fearing they would be targeted and killed, thus unable to participate in the competition.
Only Lin Zhizhen moved that she almost cried.
She knew that Jiang Ping was standing up for the Heavenly Maiden.
She had seen the list written by Zhong Shenxiu, and those who were hurt at this moment were all on that list.
"He's standing up for Zhong Shenxiu."
Lin Yun, the Fate Child, seemed lost in thought.
She was once on good terms with Zhong Shenxiu, and when their relationship was good, she was also angry for the Heavenly Maiden. She clearly remembered those Monarch who had targeted Zhong Shenxiu.
Then she sighed softly. If she had been more resolute this last time, could she now stand behind that person, just like Lingxi?
The Monarch had once clashed with the Heavenly Maiden but later apologized, realized that this Chaos Dao Monarch was not indiscriminately harming people, but rather engaging in targeted retaliation.
"Stop!!"
The Heavenly Spear, broken into several pieces, fled back to the Initial Land from Xuanhuang. As soon as it appeared, it witnessed a horrific scene.
Before the competition even began, several Monarch had already been seriously injured, especially those from the Dao Alliance, which was associated with them. Many of them were in such bad shape that they were unable to participate in the competition for medicinal fields.
The Heavenly Spear trembled with rage. Was it not here? Were the other King-level artifacts just going to sit idly by?
Little did they know that the Dao Light deep within the Initial Land was tearing apart one colossal mountain after another.
The King-level weapon from the Ziwei Sacred Land roared in fury, "This madman is letting King-level weapons fight each other! That Old Spear is almost destroyed! Why didn't our Old Ancestor send us to stop him?!"
"I don't know, maybe Jiang Ping is more important," said a large cauldron.
"Even if something is important, there should be limits. He's acting so recklessly; is there no law left?"
"Actually, he didn't overstep any boundaries. In the Resource competition, his actions were within reasonable limits. It's you people who are too biased, unable to bear seeing your juniors being bullied."
"As you can see, Yu Changqing has set off."
"The show is about to begin!"
In the distant sky, a figure seemed to prop open the heavens, as if Heaven Opening.
It is millions of miles away from the Medicine Garden, but it is as close as if it were your own body.
The next moment, Yu Changqing appeared near the medicinal field.
He was incredibly charming and still possessed a unique charisma that made many female monsters swoon.
However, along with it came a chilling atmosphere.
Clearly, he had seen through everything that was happening here and was truly enraged. In an instant, frost tore through the Heavenly Light, as if winter had arrived.
Upon learning the entire incident, Yu Shen glared angrily at Jiang Ping:
"How dare you covet my brother's throne!"
"Kneel down and accept divine punishment for your sins!" a Mid-Rank Monarch commanded sternly.
"We beg Lord Yu to seek justice for us!!"
Many of the severely injured Monarch couldn't help but cry out that they were so wronged, that they were beaten for even taking a step or wearing the same clothes as someone else.
The Dao Alliance members were also excited; the King of the Initial Land had finally arrived!
"Damn... pretentious. We've all come, and he's the one putting on airs and being the grand finale."
Tang Sheng snorted coldly.
It's really uncertain who will win today.
Jiang Ping turned around abruptly, and immediately felt a gust of wind rush towards him.
Yu Changqing appeared to make no move, but an invisible force of power pressed down upon him.
He made the first move!
In an instant, the Chaos Heaven Opening, and profound light covered all directions.
The sky was torn open with countless cracks, Setting Sun was like blood, resembling the twilight of the apocalypse.
