Chapter 1184 Mythic Fire Battle Tablet

“By the way, where did Wen Aohai go?” Lin Xun suddenly asked.

His question took Rui Manrong aback for a moment before a thought struck her. Is Demon God Lin worried about Senior Brother Wen Aohai coming back?

It seems like he’s not as fearless as rumored!

With this thought, Rui Manrong took a deep breath and answered him, “Two days ago, Senior Brother Wen set off for the place where the Mythic Fire Battle Tablet is located to take the test to strive for the Genius Gold Rankings!”

Mythic Fire Battle Tablet!

Lin Xun had heard Toady mention that similar battle tablets existed in each of the Upper Nine Realms.

The test before the battle tablet determined one’s qualification to make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings.

“Can someone at the supreme king stage make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings?” asked Lin Xun in bewilderment.

From his understanding, only top figures of the Cyclic Derivation Stage were allowed to compete for the Genius Gold Rankings.

Rui Manrong’s eyes flashed a hint of imperceptible disdain. Demon God Lin doesn’t even know about such matters.

However, the sad thing was that, even if she felt disdain towards Lin Xun, she had to answer him because he would abuse his power and authority.

“Before the arrival of the Supreme Realm, the Genius Gold Rankings had only shown up a few times in the ancient era. At that time, there had never been a Supreme King around.The source of this ᴄontent is (f)ire

“Therefore, only the supreme figures of the Cyclic Derivation Stage could make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings.

“But it’s different this time. This is an unprecedented great age, and the Supreme Realm has also become completely different because of this.

“Now, the experts all over the Upper Nine Realms know that to make it onto the top one hundred of the Genius Gold Rankings, one must possess the strength of the supreme king stage.”

Lin Xun’s face lit up with understanding.

Before long, Rui Manrong left, and Lin Xun began his training.

The one day and one night of adventure in the Underworld River Forbidden Land had completely worn him out. Moreover, the toxin of the six-winged blood mosquito remained in him.

Hu—

Sitting cross-legged on the pale golden ancestral origin rock, Lin Xun distinctly felt the powerful and pure aeth qi flowing into his body like a great river.

He easily refined and absorbed the qi without extra effort.

“Amazing. One day of training here equals one month elsewhere...” Lin Xun marveled.

The Upper Nine Realms indeed lived up to its name. If such a blessed cultivation land existed in the outside world, then it would have ignited covetous desire in all the great forces and caused war.

But in the Mythic Fire Realm, there were many similar places!

Soon, Lin Xun was submerged by the waterfall of aeth qi, and he wildly absorbed and refined it like an abyss.

Then, the entire stone hut rumbled and buzzed like the raging wind and thunder and like the sound of dao echoing.

After advancing to the king stage, the power he required for training was completely different from before.

For example, the aeth qi that he refined in one breath was equivalent to the power that he had refined in one day at the Cyclic Derivation Stage!

The injuries and poison that were all over Lin Xun visibly faded bit by bit, while his illusory figure loomed in the rain of aeth qi like a holy being.

……

If viewed from the outside, then the stone hut where Lin Xun was situated looked like a giant rotating whirlpool, drawing upon and swallowing aeth qi from all directions.

Rumble!

As the vortex roared, an earthshaking rumble shook the spirit.

If one hadn’t seen it with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to imagine a cultivator’s training causing such a stir.

On the mountainside, a group of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain disciples had gathered.

They were all staring at the mountain peak with gloomy faces of resentment, bitterness, indignation, and humiliation.

This was originally the territory of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, but Demon God Lin had taken over the area and forced them to submit to him.

How would they not be filled with hatred?

“Senior Brother Meng, when will Senior Brother Wen Aohai return?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone else turned to look at the red-robed man.

His name was Meng Yinghua, and he had great prestige in the sect. He thought about the question before answering, “It should be in less than half a month.”

“Half a month?”

Everyone moved irritably. “It shouldn’t take that long just to challenge the Genius Gold Rankings, right?”

They all regarded Wen Aohai as their only savior so they hoped that he could return as soon as possible.

“No, in addition to challenging the Genius Gold Rankings, Senior Brother Wen also has to pay a visit to several major forces to discuss an important matter.”

A light flashed in Meng Yinghua’s eyes.

“What important matter?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“I can only tell you all that the matter is related to a heaven-defying fortune that has been sealed for endless years. If this matter goes smoothly, then the benefits will be more than great.” Meng Yinghua’s eyes blazed as he spoke.

Immediately, his expression turned cold again. “Don’t be impatient, please endure a little longer. Senior Brother Wen Aohai will return as soon as he completes his errands. When that happens, it will be the death day of Demon God Lin!”

Everyone nodded, and the feeling of despair was dispelled from their hearts. They knew that Wen Aohai would definitely come back!

At that moment, Lin Xun’s calm voice rang out. “What are you all doing gathered together? Didn’t I tell you to go mining? If you laze off again, I don’t think I can wait for your Senior Brother Wen to come back.”

His voice was imbued with the profound meaning of Pulao Roar. The moment it rang out, Meng Yinghua and others found it so uncomfortable that they almost coughed up blood and saw stars fly across them.

Argh!

Everyone’s face turned livid, and they almost crushed their own teeth.

“Control yourself and don’t talk back!” Meng Yinghua inhaled deeply before he urged everyone and walked over to the mountainous tunnel.

Mining.

Specifically, they were ordered to dig up the ore in the mountain that contained ruyi divine gold.

However, the ores were extremely difficult to mine. Even a king-level expert could only chip around the ore bit by bit using sharp tools.

Moreover, ruyi divine gold was unevenly distributed around the mountain. Sometimes the ore unearthed after a long day of work might only contain a sesame seed-sized speck of ruyi divine gold.

In short, it was laborious work!

In the past, Meng Yinghua and the others did not mind mining nor found it difficult, but it was different now. They were enslaved and had to hand over all the treasures they excavated to Lin Xun. This was beyond frustrating to them.

As high and mighty disciples of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, they had been reduced to mining slaves. If word spread, they would no doubt become a laughingstock.

“Remember, if you fail to collect half a kilo of ruyi divine gold, then don’t blame me for being rude.” Lin Xun’s cold voice rang again.

Meng Yinghua and others saw everything darkening before them for a moment and almost vomited blood.

Half a kilo of ruyi divine gold?

Those are damn precious materials. You would already thank the heavens profusely if you dig out a thumb-sized amount.

Who would ever think to mine half a kilo of them?

He clearly wants to work us to death!

“Don’t be impulsive. Please be patient and let him be.” Meng Yinghua quickly urged the others for fear that they would lose control of their emotions and do something reckless.

Everyone inhaled a deep breath.

……

The Upper Nine Realms was made up of nine great realms.

The Mythic Fire Realm was one of them.

In addition to it, there were another eight realms: Abysmal Water Realm, Hollow Heaven Realm, Holy Earth Realm, Wood Wind Realm, Root Mountain Realm, Marsh Swamp Realm, Thunder Jolt Realm and the Ultimate Realm.

Each realm was like a world of its own, but were still connected to each other in a nine-square grid structure.

Among them, the Ultimate Realm was the most special, and it was also regarded as the Divine Central Realm, which symbolized the core land blessed by the heavens.

Moreover, based on past trends, the Ultimate Realm would open in eight years.

In other words, in the ninth year of the arrival of the Supreme Realm, the experts would have the opportunity to enter the Ultimate Realm.

This also meant that experts who had entered the Upper Nine Realms from the Three Thousand Worlds were dispersed across the eight other realms except for the Ultimate Realm!

Imaginably, countless experts and forces had gathered in each realm, which would lead to brutal and intense competition.

Wen Aohai knew this fact very well.

He stood still in front of a huge stone tablet.

The ancient stone tablet stretched into the sky like a pillar, and its jet-black surface was inscribed with all sorts of mysterious distorting symbols.

Each symbol represented a different scene, including the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as the vast universe and the prehistoric years.

They all radiated an ancient, grand and sacred aura.

One would feel as small and insignificant as an ant standing before the stone tablet.

This was the Mythic Fire Battle Tablet!

In each realm was a similar battle tablet.

Only by passing the test of the battle tablet did one have the chance of joining the Genius Gold Rankings!

Not only Wen Aohai, but dozens of figures were also standing near the Mythic Fire Battle Tablet, all with an extremely strong aura around them.

They were akin to overlords of the king stage!

Even though Wen Aohai had reached the supreme king stage, he still kept a low profile because everyone else was also supreme king.

Some even exuded auras stronger than his and made him feel oppressed.

“In less than one month, so many supreme kings have been born...” he sighed, his heart feeling heavy.

He knew he only met a small fraction of the supreme kings. There were bound to be more in other places.

“This great age is indeed different from the past. Unprecedented supreme kings are frequently appearing in the world...”

Wen Aohai was very triumphant at first, but now, he learned that only those who advanced to the supreme king stage had the ability to compete in the Upper Nine Realms.

If he wanted to forge his own path in the supreme king stage, he had to raise his strength as quickly as possible.

The quickest way to improve his strength was to explore and seize the heaven-defying fortunes that had been sealed for eternity!

Other than that, there was no other way.

“Fellow cultivator Wen, please come and have a chat before you leave.”

A voice sounded in his ears. He raised his eyes to see a dazzling golden figure standing not far away, exuding an extremely domineering and showy aura.

It was Wu Lingfeng, the ninth prince of the Golden Crow Clan!

He was the younger brother of Wu Lingfei, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan, who had been killed by Lin Xun. Meanwhile, Wu Lingfeng had now reached the supreme king stage!

Presently, in the Mythic Fire Realm, four major forces had dominated the world like four overlords. One being the Golden Crow Clan.

Standing beside Wu Lingfeng were several men and women, all of whom were supreme kings from different forces.

A thought struck Wen Aohai, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

He knew that Wu Lingfeng planned to discuss the heaven-defying fortune that had been sealed for eternity!
