The Four Great Lineages' Martial Competition (II)
Just as these undercurrents were stirring, a deafening rumble shook the void above the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, causing it to crack Emptiness.
There were no turbulent spatial currents, no violent fluctuations of the Dao principles. The chasm seemed to have existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and was only now slowly revealing itself to all living beings.
All the cultivators fell silent instantly, and countless gazes converged on the rift in the sky, where four figures slowly emerged from the void.
They did not unleash earth-shattering pressure, nor did they release overwhelming divine power. Yet, the moment the four appeared in the world, the Fate Soul essence of all the Eternal Silence Realm cultivators in the Myriad Worlds Graveyard momentarily froze.
An ineffable power enveloped the surrounding area— the Void Emanation Realm, Emptiness, formless evolution, stripping away all distinctions of existence and non-existence, merging into the boundless void. It is unattached to beginnings, undeterred by ends, indifferent to existence and annihilation. The Void Dao transcends all thoughts, returning to nothingness.
The first figure Nalan Yanqing. The woman wore a light blue and white long dress, and her long silver hair cascaded down like moonlight. A faint blue Dao mark was visible between her brows. Her face Leng Jue, exuding an inviolable tranquility.
As her robes fluttered gently, countless spatial patterns unfolded layer by layer. She stood still, and the surrounding void naturally returned to tranquility, as if the entire world had voluntarily withdrawn its presence, unwilling to disturb her.
The second figure was Xuanyuan Canglan. The man wore a dark ancient robe, his long hair was tied up, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp like unsheathed heavenly blades. His aura was deep and restrained, and he did not release any power, but the surrounding space gave way on its own. His existence was an independent space that was difficult for living people to touch.
The third figure Murong Yunche, a woman in a long dress woven with silver and purple patterns, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her brows and eyes indifferent and aloof. Behind her floated a hazy, enormous Dao shadow, its form ever-changing. Each change in form represented a possibility returning to silence and annihilation.
The fourth figure Nangong Xingyun. The man had white hair that reached his shoulders and wore an ancient silver robe. His face was calm and expressionless. When people looked into his eyes, it was as if they had fallen into an endless void. There was no beginning, Endless, no birth or death, only the endless Void Emanation Great Dao flowing quietly.
The four figures stood suspended in mid-air, plunging the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard into a long, deathly silence. A moment later, a series of shocked exclamations echoed through the void, "It's Void Emanation Realm expert!!"
"Nalan Yanqing, Xuanyuan Canglan, Murong Yunche, Nangong Xingyun!" someone exclaimed in shock, the sound echoing through the void. "They are the hosts appointed by the Lineage the Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain to preside over this grand competition!"
A great commotion erupted at the Myriad Worlds Graveyard. Everyone had expected that such a grand event would be attended by powerful figures from the Supreme Transformation Primordial Domain, who would be sent to maintain order and oversee the entire competition. However, no one had anticipated that the arrival of these powerful figures would be four Void Emanation Realm experts in person!
Four Void Transformation Giants crossed over to the Grand Competition, taking charge of all the rules, deciding the outcome, and suppressing all chaos. The elders of various forces looked solemn as they stared at the four figures in the sky. The Void Emanation Realm transcends Eternal Silence and touches the origin of the void. The simultaneous appearance of the four was enough to deter all the hidden conspiracies and killing intents in the entire arena.
Hua Yin gazed intently at the four people, secretly suppressing his restless killing intent; in the distance, many cultivators also raised their heads and stared, their Fate Soul rising and falling quietly, secretly sensing the vast aura of the Great Dao belonging to the Void Emanation Realm.
Among the Chi Lineage members, Qin Yu quietly gazed at the four figures in the sky, his Fate Soul essence slowly circulating within his sea of consciousness. This was the first time he had faced a Void Emanation Realm expert so closely.
This realm transcends the ordinary cultivators' framework for judging the strength of power. Standing in this realm, their existence is difficult for all things in heaven and earth to define, simply because they themselves have infinitely approached the origin of "emptiness".
The moment the four Void Emanation Realm descended from the sky, the entire void was suddenly enveloped in a solemn and vast aura. At the place where the four Lineage were stationed, Chi Boqian, the head of the Hua Family Lineage, the head of the Ju Lineage, and the head of the Shangguan Lineage stepped out of the clan formation without the slightest hesitation.
Millions of clansmen followed closely behind, all bowing their heads. The four clan leaders led their thousands of disciples in bowing respectfully to the four majestic figures in the sky.
"Welcome, Your Excellencies!" A resounding voice swept across the eight wastelands, echoing for a long time in the void beyond the Myriad Worlds Graveyard.
The four Void Emanation Realm experts remained calm and composed. Nalan Yanqing nodded slightly, her long silver hair swaying gently in the flow of Daoist energy. Xuan Xuanyuan Canglan's gaze slowly swept over the Lineage' camps, and he nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Murong Yunche's eyes were as still as a deep well, and he remained silent, only raising his hand slightly. Nangong Xingyun was the same, remaining unmoved.
The four of them did not deliberately release any pressure, but their innate aura of Void Origin permeated the surrounding area, causing countless Eternal Silence Realm cultivators to tremble.
Everyone understood that the four people before them had already reached the true peak of the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain. The next instant, the four Void Evolution experts simultaneously raised their hands! Boom!!!
The entire void trembled violently, as if the endless galaxy was being pulled by an invisible giant hand that spanned dimensions. A boundless void light curtain slowly unfolded, revealing the complete picture of the Fifth Multidimensional Universe — the Primordial Grave.
Countless fragments of the world floated and sank, broken continents, shattered skies, and depleted ancient seas slowly swirled on the light screen, and even the territory of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard was clearly reflected within it. It was a vast and boundless ancient cemetery that occupied the heart of the Primordial Grave.
The spectators all looked up, their eyes surging with shock. "This is the complete map of the Fifth Multidimensional Universe..." "The Primordial Grave, truly worthy of being the foremost of the Five Multidimensional Universes!" "Legend has it that this place buries the remains of Pre-Nonbeing the First Era; seeing it today, it certainly lives up to its reputation."
Amidst the rising and falling murmurs, the four Void Emanation Realm experts simultaneously formed hand seals, and four Void Realm Daoist auras, each with a distinct origin yet equally terrifying and overwhelming, merged together, condensing into an ancient battle banner in the void.
The battle flag was plain, with a simple gray-white background, without a single word or stroke engraved on it. Yet, the moment it appeared in the world, the Fate Soul within the bodies of all cultivators trembled in unison.
This ancient banner carries the ironclad rules passed down through the ages by the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition. Boom!
The four simultaneously unleashed their Source Power, causing the ancient battle banner to transform into a streak of light that tore through the sky, pierced through endless void, and precisely crashed into the massive light curtain, landing firmly on the territory of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard. Boom!!!
The entire map of the territory shook violently, and an invisible barrier spread outward from the Myriad Worlds Graveyard as its center. Ancient Dao patterns that marked the territory of the martial arts competition appeared one after another, shining brightly.
At this moment, the composure on the faces of the four Void Emanation Realm experts vanished completely, their backs straightened like four ancient stone pillars supporting the eternal world, their gazes sweeping over the entire arena.
Nangong Xingyun spoke first, his tone calm, yet his voice pierced through layers of dimensions, resounding throughout the entire Fifth Multidimensional Universe. "This is the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition." "The arena— the Myriad Worlds Graveyard." "All participating Lineage, enter the competition area immediately." "All spectators, remain in the outer spectator area of Myriad Worlds Graveyard."
"No one is allowed to step into the arena." As his words fell, his gaze suddenly hardened, and a Daoist aura slowly flowed forth. "Those who disobey— Annihilation."
These few simple words sent a chill down the spines of countless cultivators. Everyone knew that this was no mere verbal threat, but a supreme rule personally established by the powerful Kong Yan, which no one had ever dared to transgress throughout the ages.
As the voice faded, the enormous void light curtain slowly melted away, and the ancient battle banner disappeared into the depths of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard.
The four Void Envoys did not linger. They tore through the void and vanished in an instant. They stepped into the heart of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard first, waiting for the Lineage to enter.
In an instant, an overwhelming frenzy swept through the area surrounding the Myriad Worlds Graveyard. "It's begun!" "Hurry to the spectator area!" "Don't miss this unprecedented spectacle!"
Figures soared into the sky, and countless ancient ships, starships, and Dao platforms propelled themselves through the void. Cultivators from various multidimensional universes converged on the Myriad Worlds Graveyard Realms like a surging galaxy.
Hidden clans, ancient sects, solitary Rogue Cultivator, powerful figures from other realms... As far as the eye can see, countless figures of cultivators are gathered in the sky, all heading to this place with the same goal.
Witness the Four Great Lineage Grand Competition, witness the fierce clash of the top forces in the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain, and even more so, witness the ultimate showdown between the four guardian beasts of the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang!
Among the Lineage, the Hua Lineage and the Shangguan Lineage faced each other from a distance. The two patriarchs exchanged glances, and faint smiles appeared on their lips. No words were needed; the hidden sharpness in their eyes spoke volumes.
Before long, the two major Lineage led their clansmen to the Myriad Worlds Graveyard. On the other side, the Chi Lineage and the Ju Lineage camp. Chi Boqian and the Ju Lineage patriarch nodded to each other without exchanging any further words. The two knew that the real competition had begun.
