“Coronation Battle? What’s that?”
Everyone was stunned and confused.
They had never heard of the Coronation Battle before.
Meanwhile, the sect leaders and patriarchs were shocked.
“Coronation Battle! I didn’t expect to witness a coronation battle in this day and age!”
“Another King is about to be born, which means that another Shard of the King will appear. I wonder which faction will get it?”
They sighed and lamented.
In the Void Realm, the Coronation Battle was a legend. Those people had only heard of it.
As far as they knew, if the number of people in the League of Eternal Heroes reached a certain number, the Coronation Battle would be triggered. A person from among the eternal monsters would be crowned the king, and their name would be recorded in history.
The king would also be rewarded with a special Shard of the Path.
There were only two methods to obtain a Shard of the Path in the Void Realm. One was to kill the supreme overlord beast found in every level and every region of the Void Realm.
The second was to be crowned king in the League of Eternal Heroes.
The shards obtained from the two methods were different.
The first method might be difficult, but the supreme overlord beast could be killed by gathering elites from the entire region. Several such raids had occurred in the First Region, and the people had obtained several Shards of the Path.
However, the second method was almost impossible.
A king could only appear once every few thousand years. Naturally, the shards given were different, and they were also known as Shards of the King.
Since ancient times, there had been many names in the League of Eternal Heroes. However, there had only been eight kings. In other words, in the entire history of the Void Realm, there had only been eight Shards of the King.
Now that the Coronation Battle had begun, it meant that another Shard of the King would soon be born.
“The ninth king… who could it be?”
The sect leaders and patriarchs had solemn expressions on their faces.
Only three of the seven eternal monsters were from the First Continent. It was said that there were two from the Second Continent, and the remaining two were from the other continents. Their identities were unknown.
They only knew their names — Nameless Qin and Yan Wudi.
At that moment, the entire Void Realm was in an uproar. In all the regions, people were discussing the upcoming Coronation Battle.
That old voice sounded once again, reverberating throughout the entire Void Realm.
“The seven Eternal Heroes shall be bestowed the Mark of the Void. They are the seven Void-Chosen, and they shall fight for the title of King!”
From the highest point of the Void Realm, seven beams of golden light shone down.
Two beams shone on the Second Region, four beams shone on the First Region, and the last beam shone on the Seventh Region.
The beams penetrated the layers and arrived at the second layer of the First Region.
The clouds on the sky of the second layer split open, and four beams of golden light shone down.
“Four? How can it be four?”
“Aren’t there only three eternal monsters in our First Region?”
Everyone raised their heads to look at the sky. They were feeling somewhat puzzled.
The sect leaders and patriarchs were also stunned.
They knew that the First Region had three eternal monsters, so why would there be four beams of light?
The golden beams of light scattered in all directions.
What shocked them was that one of the beams was headed straight in their direction.
“What’s going on?”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at the beam of light, trying to see where it would land.
When the beam of light descended a little more, everyone looked in that direction and was immediately dumbfounded.
“That… that can’t be!”
The sect leaders’ and patriarchs’ eyes were wide open in disbelief.
The beam of light was shining on the brat from another region!
Could he be one of the seven eternal monsters?
How was that possible?
An eternal monster was a top prodigy and one of the most powerful characters who had ever lived. How could that brat be one of them?
“You must be kidding!”
People in the crowd were exclaiming in surprise.
Jiang Tiancheng lifted his head and looked at the beam of light that descended from the sky with a dumbfounded expression.
The beam of light was heading in his direction, but he knew that he was definitely not one of the eternal monsters. In that case… it could only be the guy in front of him.
He looked at the guy in front of him, and his face turned pale.
“Impossible! This is impossible!”
He murmured repeatedly as though he had lost his soul.
His hands began to shake slightly.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, the beam of golden light landed on Tang Hao. It abruptly shrank into a thin line and shone onto the point between his brows.
A golden number appeared on his forehead — six!
Next to the number, a faint mark appeared.
The remaining three beams of light continued to descend. They broke through the barrier of reality and shone on various parts of the First Continent.
At that moment, countless people in the First Continent looked up into the sky, and their faces were filled with shock.
“The Void-Chosen have been bestowed their marks! Next, eighty-one individuals with extraordinary talent will be bestowed the Mark of the Path!
“As long as a Path-Chosen defeats a Void-Chosen, whether in the real world or the Void Realm, they will receive the Mark of the Void and be qualified to participate in the Coronation Battle!”
At the highest point of the Void Realm, eighty-one beams of silver light shot out in all directions. Some landed in the Void Realm, while others pierced through the barrier and landed in the real world.
A silver mark appeared on the forehead of every person bathed in the silver light.
“The Mark of the Path has been bestowed!”
“Anyone with a mark can travel between regions. As long as they are in the Void Realm, they can sense the presence of other marks.
“The Coronation Battle has officially begun!”
The ancient voice reverberated throughout the entire Void Realm.
On the second level of the First Region, no one paid any attention to that voice. Everyone’s faces were filled with shock as they looked at the figure standing in the middle of the battlefield.
He stood tall and proud, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
The number between his brows shone resplendently and caused everything else to lose its color.
Gulp!
Countless people swallowed hard, and their faces turned pale.
They opened their mouths, intending to make a sound, but their throats seemed to be stuck.
Their eyes grew bigger and bigger, and their minds became more and more shocked.
The kid who claimed that he would turn the First Region upside down was indeed an eternal monster!
“Who… who Are You?”
Jiang Tiancheng’s entire body trembled, and his face was deathly pale.
He might be confident of his abilities, but he could only cower in front of an eternal monster.
There was an eternal monster in the Jiang family. That was why he knew how powerful eternal monsters could be!
The person in front of him was not human at all!
“My name is… Nameless Qin!” Tang Hao said coldly.
“Nameless Qin?”
Jiang Tiancheng’s entire body trembled as his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Nameless Qin was that eternal monster who broke the Courage and Slaughter records!
