The most powerful forces from around the world have gathered here.
This is something that everyone has acknowledged.
However, one faction did not show up, which indeed made the gathering incomplete!
Who didn’t come?
Countless names were swirling through everyone’s minds.
Lu Yu, who sat side by side with Wang Zun on equal terms?
In an instant, a name popped into the minds of many people.
“It’s him! Yes, it can only be him!”
“Not bad. He’s the one who obtained the Special Inverse Scale together with Wang Zun.”
“I heard that he once had a major battle with the Howling King in a special space, but no one knows the outcome.”
“That’s right, we’ve heard of it too.”
They all knew exactly who they were talking about!
Who can stop the king without a crown?
Especially under his command, there were dozens of resurrected kings without crowns.
I heard that the strongest among these people has already reached the realm of possessing twenty thousand statues.
In today’s world, only those who have become kings or hold the highest royal titles can rival them.
Even those kings or king elders who have not yet regained their peak strength no longer possess the capability to challenge the uncrowned king.
“Lu Yu has never lost before. If he’s coming, his target must be the Dragon King!”
“Undoubtedly, the goal of the strong is the Dragon King. As for who will ultimately gain the Dragon King’s recognition and become the Dragon Knight, that’s hard to say.”
“Who will ultimately gain the Dragon King’s recognition?”
Everyone was excitedly discussing.
Because not long after entering, these powerful individuals would inevitably engage in intense conflicts over the Dragon King.
They were talking among themselves, yet also waiting.
Boom——
In the vast emptiness, a figure dressed in golden robes and wearing a golden mask stepped forward.
She was adorned in a golden robe, her long hair flowing. Even with disguises, her unparalleled beauty could not be concealed.
“It’s her!”
“A stone coffin was brought out from the ruins of the royal city.”
“She is a queen too.”
Even her breath could freeze a supreme ice capable of holding ten thousand forces; she was no ordinary person either.
The moment Yukki appeared, she immediately caused a sensation.
When the King of Reincarnation and the King of Hell saw Yukiko, they couldn’t help but be moved.
I’ve heard rumors about it, but this is the first time I’ve seen it.
This was a king, powerful to the point of being terrifying.
The Reincarnation King and the King of Hell felt that even if they restored their peak powers to fight against it, they still could not win.
Yuki-hime stood silently in the void, her eyes beneath the mask radiating a cold, icy light.
One person said, “I’ve seen her. I witnessed with my own eyes a Dragon Clan warrior respectfully hand her a crystal box with both hands.”
Everyone knew that it was a special invitation from the Dragon King’s rebellious scale.
There was an uproar all around.
This woman was indeed a queen.
Not long after the woman appeared, more people began to arrive one after another.
The appearance of an elderly man once again caused a sensation.
This was a King Revered, or rather, a King Revered whose strength had not yet fully recovered to its peak.
However, as soon as he appeared, the qi of all the kings present became chaotic, as if resonating in response to the old man’s presence.
“What’s going on here?” Lord Xiao Sha looked at the old man in surprise.
“No, no. How come my power is not obeying me anymore?” Reborn King Zun could also feel the streams of energy going haywire inside his body, running amok.
The appearance of this old man drew countless sidelong glances; they couldn’t fathom the extent of his strength, only sensing an aura of mystery and immense power.
“The time is almost up, why hasn’t Lu Yu arrived yet?”
As the time of the dragon clan’s appointment drew nearer, many people began to feel tense.
This area of the sea is already full of people.
This test by the Dragon Clan has drawn millions of people into this area.
Regardless of strength—
Many young individuals, whose innate talents and potentials had been developed beyond seventy percent, hurried over before they had reached the level of a Star Lord.
There are more and more people gathering in these waters, increasing from millions to tens of millions, and continuing to rise.
There are geniuses, there are also strong individuals, and even more elderly people.
The Dragon Clan is extremely mysterious.
Dragon knights were legendary figures in the West before the end of the world; they symbolized honor.
What was once merely a name from mythology now stood before their very eyes.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan is renowned for its formidable defensive capabilities and vitality.
During this period, there were even rumors that once someone became a Dragon Knight, they would possess the dragons’ defensive capabilities and their life force.
In this apocalyptic era, everything except strength is an illusion.
Millions upon millions of people filled the empty space over the ocean, with even more surging forward.
Boom!
A crack appeared in the void, and first, a figure walked out.
A gasp of astonishment erupted from the crowd: “He’s here.”
“Oh my god, is this Lu Yu? He looks way too young!”
“Lu Yu, you don’t seem to be someone with strong combat skills.”
Innumerable gazes converged towards him.
In this vast emptiness, besides Lu Yu, more people were also emerging.
Some people stood in midair, while others stood on the backs of giant flying mythical beasts.
Sixty or seventy thousand people walked out together, gathering in a corner in a grand and imposing procession.
As Lu Yu appeared, a large area around him had already been cleared.
Although Lu Yu was not standing at the highest point alongside Xiang Sha Wangzun and others, no one dared to underestimate his presence.
“Here I come!”
“The people behind him are the uncrowned kings; the aura those individuals emit is absolutely terrifying.”
“My intuition has always been sharp, and the most powerful among those people was Lu Yu.”
An elder told the young people around him solemnly, “Remember these people well. In terms of talent in this world, even if you cultivate endlessly, you still won’t match them. The only way to surpass them is to become a King or a King Monarch!”
“Hmph. I don’t believe in the idea that an uncrowned king could actually challenge a true king. I heard that Lu Yu only managed to fight against King Zun by relying on his vast wealth and powerful abilities.”
A young person replied with disdain.
“Bang.”
The young man who had been speaking arrogantly suddenly received a slap on the back of his head.
The elder said sternly, “Don’t talk nonsense. You were born too late to understand the brutality at the beginning of the apocalypse. Do you think having talent and money was enough to survive that era? Even powerful abilities and wealth had to be accumulated gradually. Back then, Lu Yu was the de facto controller of the mining area in Fangang. Do you think he could have managed that without real strength?”
Another person said seriously, “Remember this: no matter how arrogant you may be, you must give your all here, understand?”
The young man proudly declared, “Don’t worry, my goal is none other than the Dragon King himself.”
…
There were more than thirty million people in the virtual space.
And the time had already arrived at the appointed hour of the Dragon Clan.
A void distortion appeared a thousand meters above the vast ocean, from which unusual and mysterious fluctuations were emanating.
It soon turned into a whirlpool.
The whirlpool grew larger and larger, soon transforming into a colossal vortex with a diameter of thousands of zhang, spinning in the sky.
A figure emerged from the very center of the whirlpool.
This is a man whose entire body gleams with a metallic sheen.
This man had a blank expression, was over ten feet tall, and resembled an iron sculpture. He stood there wearing only a pair of shorts, his entire body appearing as if it were about to explode with muscular power.
The giant Han glanced around emotionlessly and said, “For the next three hours, the passage leading to the Dragon Clan’s Trial Ground will be completely open. Only those who can step into the vortex will be qualified to undergo the true trial.”
Someone arrogantly said, “Haha, if merely stepping into the whirlpool is all it takes, that’s way too easy.”
As the man spoke, he stepped into the empty void and arrived directly in front of the vortex.
His front foot had just begun to cross over the whirlpool when his entire body suddenly convulsed, and he was forcefully repelled backward.
“What?”
“Isn’t that man a powerful expert with ten thousand zun of strength from Australia? How come he can’t even get in?”
“My God, even someone with the strength of ten thousand people can’t get in. Could it be that only the Crownless King, along with the King’s Venerable and the Venerable of King’s Venerable, have the qualifications to enter?”
Many people were taken aback, and soon after, they became angry.
Someone angrily pointed at the tall man and said, “Didn’t you say that strength doesn’t necessarily mean success? Then why can’t even a warrior with the power of ten thousand even pass through this vortex?”
The tall man spoke unhurriedly, “Everyone, I haven’t finished yet. If one could easily step into this whirlpool and pass the test, then what would be the point of setting it up in the first place? This is the initial trial, a kind of physical examination. Only those whose bodies have reached a certain level of strength can enter. It’s not about how powerful you are; your body is simply—too weak.”
The Han man glanced at the person disdainfully and said, “Leave here. You didn’t even pass the initial test. There’s no use staying here.”
Upon hearing this, the man’s face immediately turned bright red with anger. Pointing at the giant, he exclaimed, “What did you say? I possess the strength of ten thousand honors—how dare you claim my body isn’t strong enough?”
“You won’t make it through the vortex; that’s just the reality,” said the big man. “If we compare your body to ‘one,’ then if you don’t reach the value of ‘two,’ you simply don’t have the qualification to enter. Therefore, your physical condition is too weak.”
The man’s face turned extremely grim as he felt disrespected. Clenching his teeth, he said, “I think you’re deliberately excluding people like us. This so-called trial is obviously prepared only for someone like Wang Zun and Wang. Ha! You claim it has nothing to do with strength, but I believe it’s all about power in the end. I don’t believe for a second that you dragons would truly accept a weak human as a dragon knight.”
The big man did not respond but looked toward another direction and shouted loudly, “You only have three hours. If you exceed the time limit, you’ll lose your chance. Do you understand?”
“This kind of test, in my opinion, is essentially checking whether one’s body has evolved or if one has broken through their limits,” said a young man, his hands clasped behind his back as he strolled through the void. Stepping forward confidently, he approached the vortex and took a bold step ahead.
He was very natural, yet proud.
This step was taken, and the young man walked into the vortex without encountering any obstacles.
“It’s real, he’s inside!” someone said, eyes sparkling with excitement. “Even though he only has the strength of a Star Lord, he managed to get in.”
Someone went in, and immediately many others rushed toward the whirlpool as well.
Some were blocked from entering, while others managed to get inside.
Among those who walked inside were Sovereigns, Star Lords, and even a few ordinary individuals who had reached the seventh or eighth level.
“It’s really not about strength; the test is about the body.”
Everyone surged toward the whirlpool.
The person who was blocked first had a very unpleasant expression on his face. He clenched his teeth and slowly stepped backward.
More people were moving toward the whirlpool.
More people were stopped.
They were unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to try again, but were immediately knocked back, with their bones shattered upon impact.
The counterforce of this impact was even stronger than the first one.
Some people refused to believe in bad omens and gritted their teeth, charging into the whirlpool for the third time.
This time, he was directly shattered into a blood rain that fell onto the ground.
The King of Hell watched as the people desperately pushed their way into the vortex, and scoffed, “A bunch of ants, thinking they can become Dragon Knights just by doing this? This is getting too boring.”
The King of Hell swept his gaze toward Regeneration King and the others, saying, “Would any of you like to join me in a little wager?”
