Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

HUMMM...

At dawn, as the first ray of light pierced through the darkness, the sound of an ancient horn tore through the heavens. It resonated through the Nine Heavens and echoed throughout the Endless Wilderness.

The rising sun leaped over the horizon, banishing the darkness!

The once-quiet Endless Wilderness erupted with unprecedented excitement.

Today was the first day of the Barbarian God Battle Platform!

The Barbarian God Battle Platform was a grand event for everyone in the Endless Wilderness—a time for geniuses to make their name, for Sects to rise, and for legends to be written.

On the Barbarian God Battle Platform, geniuses gathered and masters emerged as peers of the same generation clashed for supremacy!

No one wanted to miss such a grand event, from Sect Disciples to unaffiliated Loose Cultivators. Even the Demon Beasts and spirits that had taken human form came to witness the spectacle.

The Barbarian God Battle Platform was located in the very center of the Endless Wilderness. It was a relic left behind by the Barbarian God Race from Ancient Times.

The thousands of Sects and Ancient Races of the Endless Wilderness all mobilized, advancing toward the center in a mighty procession that resembled a long dragon with no visible head or tail.

All the Demon Beasts and Barbaric Beasts along the way went into hiding, terrified of being trampled to a pulp by the endless stream of people.

The destination for all these powers was Barbarian King City, which was just a stone’s throw from the Barbarian God Battle Platform.

Barbarian King City was an ancient city rich in history. It had come into being alongside the Barbarian God Battle Platform and could be considered the true number one city in the Endless Wilderness.

It was ancient and vast, large enough to hold over a million people.

With the start of the Barbarian God Battle Platform, it was now experiencing an unprecedented level of bustle and prosperity.

Countless powerful Sects and Ancient Races were resting here, quietly waiting for the most important moment to arrive.

The group from the Ancient Spirit Sect had also appeared in Barbarian King City.

Nangong Liuyun was leading the Ancient Spirit Sect’s delegation this time. The four reclusive Sect-Protecting Elders, who rarely made an appearance, were also among them, and Star Elder had come as well.

"There are so many people here!"

Staring at the dense crowds, some of the female Disciples gasped in shock. It wasn’t just them; even Ye Wushuang was a little taken aback.

The crowds were even denser than a bustling marketplace.

As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of heads. Most of them were at the True Essence level or higher; there was almost no one in the Qi Vortex Realm. This was a sight that would have been unimaginable in the past.

A female Disciple asked timidly, "Sect Master, with so many people, how are we going to find a place to stay?"

This was a worry shared by many others.

Barbarian King City might be large, but with so many people, the inns and other establishments were likely already packed to capacity.

Yee Qianmo said, "The top ten ranking Sects are given an exclusive resting area in Barbarian King City. The Ancient Spirit Sect placed tenth in the last Barbarian God Battle Platform, so a place has already been reserved for us. Don’t worry."

"That’s right. This is the privilege of being in the top ten of the Barbarian God Battle Platform. This is what the previous generation of Disciples left for you. So, I hope that at the next Barbarian God Battle Platform, the next generation of Disciples can proudly tell everyone that the Ancient Spirit Sect enjoys a special resting place."

Nangong Liuyun’s gaze sharpened, and his words were powerful and resonant.

"Sect Master, we will definitely do our best to break into the top ten!"

"That’s right, we have to surpass our past achievements."

Everyone clenched their fists, their resolve unwavering. They would give it their all.

Hearing their determined words, Nangong Liuyun and the several Elders smiled in satisfaction.

"Everyone, follow me."

Averting his gaze, Nangong Liuyun led the Disciples to a courtyard.

The courtyard was very large, fully furnished, and complete with pavilions and verandas. Moreover, it was the location closest to the Barbarian God Battle Platform.

After entering the courtyard, Nangong Liuyun began to speak. "Before everyone rests, I’ll first explain the rules of the Battle Platform."

Hearing this, everyone stepped forward curiously.

"The Barbarian God Battle Platform will officially begin in three days. It is divided into two stages. The first stage is to pass through the Ninth Pass. The second stage is the battle for the title of ’Strongest Warrior’ on the Battle Platform." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"The Ninth Pass was forged by the Barbarian God Race from a floating continent from the Outer Heaven. It has nine layers in total, and each one holds a certain degree of danger. Passing through all nine layers will lead you directly there."

As Nangong Liuyun spoke, he pointed to a floating fortress in the distant sky.

Ye Wushuang had noticed that fortress earlier. It was shrouded in endless Divine Light, suspended in the air and exuding an ancient aura.

That was the final Barbarian God Battle Platform!

"That is the Battle Platform for the final showdown!"

Nangong Liuyun said, "This time, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of powers of all sizes from the Endless Wilderness participating. However, only ten of those powers will make it through the Ninth Pass and step onto the true Barbarian God Battle Platform."

"Only ten!"

Ye Wushuang sucked in a sharp breath, shocked to his core. ’Out of a thousand powers, only ten can advance.’

One had to understand that those who came to participate were the elites of their respective powers. They weren’t just here to fill the numbers; they wouldn’t have come if they didn’t possess real skill.

’Just how cruel would the competition be?’

’Securing a spot in the top ten will be fraught with difficulty!’

Even Dii Qingxue, Mo Wentian, and the others wore grave expressions. In the Earth Palace, they had already witnessed the strength of many other powers—it was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The pressure for this Battle Platform would be immense.

"Sect Master, what are the specific rules?" Ye Wushuang inquired.

In response, Nangong Liuyun explained patiently, "In three days, the Ninth Pass will open. To pass through each layer, you’ll need a certain amount of points."

’Points?’

Ye Wushuang recalled the points from the Earth Palace and immediately asked, "Sect Master, do we earn the points ourselves?"

"No!" Nangong Liuyun shook his head, taking out a purple Jade Token. "This is an Identity Token. Each of you will have one. It contains one hundred points, which are your own. Upon entering the Ninth Pass, you must not only protect your own points but also find ways to seize them from others. That is the only way you’ll have a chance to enter the next layer."

"Additionally, as per tradition, you will be divided into three teams of ten."

"The first team will have Mo Wentian as captain and Yee Qianmo as vice-captain."

"The second team will have Yunn Xiao as captain and Jian Bufan as vice-captain."

"The third team will have Ye Wushuang as captain and Dii Qingxue as vice-captain."

Hearing the arrangements, the few named cupped their fists in acknowledgement.

Nangong Liuyun then assigned the members for the three teams before taking out a number of Identity Tokens and handing them to everyone.

"These are the Identity Tokens of the Ancient Spirit Sect. Be sure to keep them safe. They contain one hundred points. An enemy can only take fifty points at a time, which means you have two chances. If all your points are taken, you will be eliminated."

"Of course, what I’ve just told you are the basic rules. The finer details are explained on the Identity Token, so take a look after you receive it."

"Finally, I hope you all rest well and prepare for the battle in three days. I also hope that you will fight for the Ancient Spirit Sect and not let us down."

Nangong Liuyun’s gaze swept over all the Disciples.

Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances, then solemnly cupped their fists and declared, "Sect Master, we will fight to the death! For the Ancient Spirit Sect!"
