Meteor Sacred Land and the Beginning

This is a massive main star of a universe kingdom, a celestial body so vast that it rivals the gargantuan continents in the universe that are often measured in light-years.

This star is named Meteor Star; it is the center of the Meteor Universe Kingdom and the location of the Meteor Sacred Land.

Meteor Star is incredibly prosperous, and countless powerful factions within the Meteor Universe Kingdom have established branches here.

Naturally, there is no shortage of experts here; one could say that Star-level beings are as common as dogs, Universe-level and Domain Lord-level beings walk the streets everywhere, and only World Lord-level beings can hold their own.

Only Immortal Spirits can truly have a say here, for this is the Meteor Universe Kingdom.

The Meteor Universe Kingdom is an incredibly ancient nation founded by the great Meteor Venerable, ranking among the top even within the 1,008 universe kingdoms of the peak human race in the universe.

The strength of Meteor Venerable is even more formidable; he is an expert who has survived for an unknown number of eons.

It is rumored that he is more powerful than most universe venerables, a great Universe Overlord, and even among Universe Overlords, he is considered an expert.

Naturally, the Meteor Universe Kingdom he founded is not weak, being far more powerful than the universe kingdoms founded by some ordinary universe venerables.

The core of the Meteor Universe Kingdom is controlled by the descendants of Meteor Venerable. Usually, Meteor Venerable does not show himself, leaving matters to be handled by those descendants who possess excellent governing talents.

The Meteor Sacred Land is the cradle for cultivating outstanding geniuses in the Meteor Universe Kingdom and occupies a significant position within the nation.

The Meteor Sacred Land is generally managed by three powerful Immortal Spirits, and today, an order from the great Meteor Kingdom Lord has made these three beings take the matter very seriously.

Under the command of these three Immortals, the entire Meteor Sacred Land began to move like a massive machine.

Rows of guards stood in formation, all of them Domain Lord-level beings, while the three Immortal Spirits stood at the very front of the ranks.

Surrounding the formation, various World Lord-level instructors moved at the news. At this moment, a World Lord of the Law of Thunder could not help but transmit his voice to a companion.

"Is some big shot coming today? Looking at this formation, the person arriving is not simple."

"Even these three lords have come out; usually, even princes don't receive such a reception."

His companion, who possessed long, fire-red hair, was clearly a member of the Desolate God Clan. Upon hearing his companion's transmission, he pondered for a moment before replying.

"It might be related to the Universe-level expert tournament being held recently!"

He thought about it but did not tell his companion directly. He had once heard from a well-connected clansman that a member of their own clan was going to use the Meteor Universe Kingdom to participate in the Universe-level expert tournament, but that clansman's status was extraordinary, so it was not easy to speak of it to his companion.

"They're here!"

Just then, the aforementioned World Lord of the Law of Thunder transmitted, and three figures appeared in their sight.

The three figures were seen walking slowly along a path formed by light and shadow, each step covering hundreds of meters, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to reach the front of the formation.

Two men and one woman; the men were handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Their three heads of red hair burned like flames.

The youth in the middle had delicate features and carried a long spear on his back, yet he wore a scholar's robe, exuding an air of quiet elegance.

The youth on the left had a large wine gourd at his waist and wore a black, backless training suit. His features were slightly rugged, and he swallowed a mouthful of wine from time to time as he walked.

The one on the far right was a young girl. She wore a plain white dress, her waist was slender, her figure curvaceous, and her face was enchanting. Combined with that head of red hair, she looked exceptionally alluring, and a pair of expressive eyes made her appear even more spirited.

As the three walked side by side, they instantly attracted countless gazes from the entire crowd.

"Why haven't I seen these three princes and princesses before? Looking at the law fluctuations they emit, that shouldn't be the case!"

A bystander World Lord could not help but remark. This World Lord was not part of the core, but rather an outer member, which is why he was unaware of the relationship between the Meteor Universe Kingdom and the Desolate God Clan.

At this moment, Huang Wuye and his two companions finally arrived before the three Immortal Spirits.

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the Immortal Spirits, Huang Wuye smiled. So, Immortal Spirits were no longer so untouchable.

Compared to his first contact with an Immortal Spirit, he was far stronger now; at the very least, their aura alone could no longer shake him.

"You must be the Highnesses from Desolate God Mountain!" A voice rang out, coming from the leader of the three Immortals.

As confidants of the Meteor Kingdom Lord, having followed him for countless eons, the three Immortal Spirits naturally knew where the Meteor Kingdom Lord came from. They would certainly not slight the three Universe-level youngsters whom the Meteor Kingdom Lord had specifically instructed them to receive.

"Greetings, Marquis Fire Spirit. Thank you for your careful reception."

Huang Wuye had naturally done his research beforehand; he had long since investigated the three Immortal Spirits responsible for handling matters at the Meteor Sacred Land.

Marquis Fire Spirit was a powerful being at the peak of the Marquis-level Immortals, or perhaps even approaching a King-level Immortal Spirit. He was a fire deity and the primary person in charge among the three Immortals.

"Haha, Your Highness is too polite; this is what we ought to do. You must be Prince Wuye."

Looking at Huang Wuye's somewhat familiar face, Marquis Fire Spirit guessed.

"Indeed, I am Huang Wuye. My father is Huang Tian. I assume Marquis Fire Spirit has met my father."

Huang Wuye was not surprised; it was not strange for Marquis Fire Spirit to have met Huang Tian, as the latter could be considered a confidant of the Meteor Kingdom Lord.

Come to think of it, his relationship with this Meteor Universe Kingdom—or rather, with the Meteor Kingdom Lord—was indeed extraordinary.

Because Huang Tian and the Meteor Kingdom Lord were master and disciple, in this way, the Meteor Kingdom Lord could be considered Huang Wuye's grand-master.

Therefore, Huang Wuye could be considered a young master of the Meteor Universe Kingdom; after all, the bond between master and disciple was even closer than that of father and son.

Upon hearing Huang Wuye nod in acknowledgment, Marquis Fire Spirit's expression grew a bit warmer, and he laughed heartily.

"Truly, a tiger father has no dog for a son! It seems I shall have to bask in your glory this time, Your Highness."

"Haha, Marquis Fire Spirit is too kind. I shall do my best." Huang Wuye also smiled, then replied modestly.

After some warm pleasantries, Marquis Fire Spirit arranged for Huang Wuye's accommodations.

"Your Highness, I wish you fame in the Universe-Level Fighter Tournament. Also, remember to find time to meet with the Sovereign. We shall take our leave now."

"Safe travels, Marquis Fire Spirit." Huang Wuye nodded, then bid farewell to the Marquis.

He turned back to exchange a few words with Huang Xue and the others before heading off to rest.

Huang Wuye returned to the courtyard arranged by the Marquis. It was a sprawling estate equipped with numerous training facilities, complete with mountains, water, and fully stocked amenities.

After touring the grounds, Huang Wuye was quite satisfied.

"Now, I just wait for the Universe-Level Fighter Tournament to begin."

Time slipped away in the blink of an eye, and soon the day of the tournament's opening arrived.

At this moment, on the distant Giant Wood Planet, before a vast and continuous mountain range, a figure that blotted out the sky stood suspended in mid-air, as if vying with the heavens themselves.

His towering silhouette was as immense as the peaks, which stood hundreds of thousands of meters tall.

This was none other than Huang Wuye's Gluttonous Golden Ape clone, Night Emperor. By now, the Gluttonous Golden Ape clone had reached the ninth rank of the Universe Level, and his height had surged once more, growing from nearly one hundred kilometers to several hundred kilometers tall. His sky-covering form pierced the clouds; if he remained still, he would appear as nothing more than a mountain peak.

"The main body has already embarked on its journey. I, too, must finish the task on this Giant Wood Planet soon, and while I'm at it, locate the second clone hidden here."

As the Gluttonous Golden Ape clone, Night Emperor, spoke, his figure rapidly shrank, turning into a hundred-meter-tall form in the blink of an eye, his features now bearing a resemblance to Huang Wuye's original body.

"Hmm, this body-transformation technique combined with the Phantom Spirit Armor is truly powerful. To think I could shrink my body to this extent."

"It is fortunate that my Life Analysis Secret Technique is not picky; it does not strictly require flesh-and-blood life, as the genetic material of energy-based life forms works just as well."

"That is how I managed to analyze and obtain this transformation technique of the Demon-Slaying Clan; otherwise, the Phantom Spirit Armor alone would not have been enough."

"Although this body can only exert one percent of its power in this state, it is more than enough."

"Then, let us begin with the God-Fall Mountain Range!"

With that, the Night Emperor clone transformed into a phantom and plunged into the massive mountain range, like a single drop of water merging into the vast ocean.
