Boom!
The enormous Stone Mountain shot forth an incomparably massive golden beam, carrying vast momentum as it surged into the sky with a thunderous blast.
Powerful waves of golden light spread through the heavens, instantly reaching the entirety of the secret realm. The whole sky turned gold, suffused with an aura of nobility, power, antiquity, and supreme majesty, along with an invisible pressure that bore down upon everyone.
"Notice! The restrictions of King of Kings Mountain have vanished. Anyone may now ascend King of Kings Mountain."
As soon as this announcement rang out, countless people wore expressions of wild delight. They erupted with powerful auras and charged up Stone Mountain like madmen.
Zhao Fu blanked for a moment, still not understanding what was happening.
Those in the stands were also somewhat surprised. They had not expected the rules to truly differ from before this time. Everyone could actually climb King of Kings Mountain; in previous years, only those ranked in the top ten had the right to ascend it.
Watching countless people rush up Stone Mountain, Zhao Fu too erupted with a powerful aura and charged upward. Before long, he arrived at the summit.
This was an enormous expanse of smooth stone ground, yet there was nothing upon it. Only a golden sword stood embedded at the very center of the stone floor.
The golden sword was a two-handed blade. Its hilt was covered in layer upon layer of golden scales, its pommel round. At the point where blade and hilt connected was a vicious beast head, while the blade itself was engraved with the totems of countless races.
The sword carried an utterly supreme sword intent and exuded an aura of nobility, antiquity, and power. The countless auras spreading through the sky all originated from this very sword.
