The Legend Stele was located at the center of the Realm of Divine Martial Arts, a prosperous place, the focus of the current world.
It was a spectacular stone from an alien world.
Its function was similar to the stele at the Title Palace in the Three Middle Realms.
Some people claimed the two steles used to be one stele, which had been split in half while falling into the Black Yellow Great World. The two halves fell into the Realm of Divine Martial Arts and the Three Middle Realms, respectively.
Talented people appreciated the Legend Stele because this spectacular stone was fair and unbiased.
It was open to visiting once a year. Strong people from all over the world would gather here to fight in front of the Legend Stele.
If the rule remained the same as five hundred years ago, Jiang Chen would be quite interested.
However, the most urgent thing for the moment was to rescue Whitty.
After Dugu Yue left, Jiang Chen found a waterfall in Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Since he could not find any master of the water property, Jiang Chen had to learn from nature. He planned to explore the lore of water in nature.
He was sitting under the waterfall. For several days he had not moved, not even a little bit.
When disciples from the celestial palace occasionally passed by, they were all extremely surprised to see their vice leader there. He looked like an old monk in the middle of meditation.
The waterfall was splendid. It had three parts, the upper part, the middle part, and the lower part, each presenting a different view.
The water charged down like a white dragon. The disturbance created by the collision sounded like thousands of horses were running.
Jiang Chen was watching the quiet river flowing towards the waterfall and then take a sudden turn downward. A great disturbance was created, but the quietness was restored again at the bottom of the waterfall.
After watching this for several days, he seemed to have gained some insights, but he was unable to draw a conclusion or express them in words.
“I’m afraid the water property is the most complicated.”
Jiang Chen sighed. He knew he should take his time.
Dong! Dong!
At this moment, Jiang Chen heard some deep muffling noises. He turned pale immediately.
It sounded like drum beats. However, the drum was the sky!
Not only Jiang Chen, but also other people in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts, and even those in the Realm of Heaven Martial Arts, the Lower Three Realms, the Realm of True Force, the Realm of Milky, the Realm of Nine Heavens and all Worlds of Meson had heard that!
They would see purple energy moving towards the east if they looked up.
Jiang Chen found in surprise that this purple energy was from Dragon Tiger Mountain!
“Use the sky as a drum. The purple energy moves east!”
“This is the sign of becoming a sovereign. Xiao Nuo has succeeded!”
Jiang Chen recalled related writings, pleasantly surprised.
He recalled and counted. There were six drum beats in all!
From one to nine, the drumbeat amount represented the attainments of the new sovereign.
Six drum beats were actually very good.
Jiang Chen left the waterfall and went back to the Main Peak. He saw everyone in the celestial palace had been disturbed. They all looked lost and unsettled.
The energy of the Venerable Sovereign was spreading from Xiao Nuo’s resting palace. It swept over Dragon Tiger Mountain like a tsunami.
“Jiang Chen, what’s going on?”
It had been an extremely long time since the last Venerable Sovereign had appeared in the Black Yellow Great World. As a result, many people did not know what this disturbance represented.
The three elders thought it was the Three Great Forces who were playing tricks.
“It’s Leader the Venerable. She has completed her seclusion,” said Jiang Chen.
“What?!”
The three elders were shocked. Then they were greatly pleased. The stronger Leader the Venerable was, the better it would be for Ling Long Celestial Palace.
“A real Venerable Sovereign is so strong?”
Feeling the energy of the Venerable Sovereign, Jiang Chen felt himself small, as if he was facing some superpower which he could not go against.
Xiao Nuo had already been strong enough to kill anyone across the forbidden lands and been matchless across the whole world when her Sovereign Soul had woken up, and she had achieved half Venerable Sovereign.
By then, she became a real Venerable Sovereign. Her strength was certainly much more dreadful.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, it turned overcast. Lightning flashed across the sky. Although it was during day time, it looked like night.
“It’s the ko of thunder for Martial Sovereign! All of you stay away from the Main Peak. The farther, the better!”
Jiang Chen gave the order right away. His pupils contracted.
“It’s dangerous. Jiang Chen, you find a place to hide, too!”
First Elder suddenly sensed something. He insisted on sending Jiang Chen into the forest.
Jiang Chen was struck dumb at first. Then he came to understand why. He looked up and saw numerous flowing lights appearing around Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Dragon Tiger Mountain was instantly surrounded by hundreds of Martial Arts Saints.
They were all wearing a mask that holy awareness could not penetrate.
The energies they gave off told they were from different races.
The Ancient, the Wizard, the Human, the Half Monster, the Spirit, among others.
“The Three Great Forces can’t stay calm anymore!”
Jiang Chen was extremely anxious. Neither he nor First Elder had expected the appearance of ko of thunder.
Since Xiao Nuo had been a Half Venerable Sovereign, they had assumed she would not have to go through any ko of thunder anymore.
However, the fact those people were acting so fast proved they had planned it, and they had been lurking in the dark.
“That’s why the master has been worried. If it were the Heavenly Palace that was facing so many Martial Arts Saints’ attacks, I’m afraid the Heavenly Defense Field would be scorched earth.”
Jiang Chen had never seen so many Martial Arts Saints gather together. The entire Dragon Tiger Mountain was shrouded in the pressure they brought.
Just as Wu Ming said, the Heavenly Palace did not deserve to be targeted by so many Martial Arts Saints yet.
But Ling Long Celestial Palace was different. Red Cloud Venerable was already a threat to the Three Great Forces!
“The calamity of Blood Race is upcoming. Are you really going to kill everyone?”
First Elder’s face looked hideous. The three of them, Baili Zhan, Yunyinzi, and he, were not able to resist so many people at all.
“Give Jiang Chen to us and dismiss Ling Long Celestial Palace. Don’t expect any miracle to happen.”
“We’ll let Red Cloud Venerable go through a ko. It’ll be certainly the best if she can succeed.”
A voice came from those masked people.
This was apparently a secret action, but it was not difficult to guess who was manipulating in the dark.
“It’ll be the best for her to go through a ko?”
Jiang Chen did not understand what that was supposed to mean.
But then he suddenly realized it. He was shocked.
If Xiao Nuo failed to go through a ko, she would die and vanish from the world.
If she made it, she would be extremely feeble, and those people would take advantage of such timing to attack her!
“Vice leader is there!”
“Don’t kill us. We would like to quit Ling Long Celestial Palace!”
“I’m an undercover sent by my school. We are on the same side!”
Dragon Tiger Mountain was in chaos. Facing the strong enemy, they even had conflicts among themselves. Let alone show solidarity with each other.
“Is this because the celestial palace doesn’t have a long history or a solid foundation?”
Seeing all this happening and at the thought of the celestial palace’s good days, Jiang Chen felt very emotional.
Someone suddenly spotted him.
“Jiang Chen, run! Now!” First Elder’s voice came from overhead.
Almost in the meantime, some masked men approached the forest.
“Die!”
Jiang Chen was not easy to deal with. As a vice leader, he could control the grand formation of Ling Long Celestial Palace, so he turned it on immediately.
The masked men approaching him were attacked by the grand formation. They were almost killed.
At the same time, the celestial palace started its warship. Strategic weapons were being charged with power quickly.
“You’re just struggling! You’re dead meat!”
Those masked men were not intimidated at all. A giant bell appeared out of nowhere in the air and was slowly falling.
The bell tolled when Ling Long Celestial Palace intended to stop it. The grand formation was then torn apart. Dragon Tiger Mountain was bombed by the energy that had gone out of control. Sands and stones were sent flying. The earth was shaking.
Whoosh!
A spear even longer than the height of the mountain followed. It pierced through the warship. The strategic weapons, in the middle of power charging, exploded. Star Picking Peak, one of the nine peaks, was affected. It collapsed instantly.
“Siss.”
At this moment, every one of Ling Long Celestial Palace felt desperate.
Jiang Chen suddenly sensed something. He called the bronze cauldron out to protect him in front of his chest.
He heard a crack and then saw a sharp sword blade strike the bronze cauldron.
The owner of the sword wanted to pierce through the bronze cauldron at one go, but in the end, the sword blade was bent.
“What?”
The owner of the sword exclaimed in surprise. It was apparently astonishing for him that Jiang Chen had such a valuable treasure.
“It’s you!”
Jiang Chen recognized who that was. He flew into a rage.
