Boom.
When the "Myriad Blood Lantern" where the Superior Earth Divine Venerable-level challenger resided finally stopped.
The challenger's expression brightened: "The exit has arrived?"
In the next mont, the Superior Earth Divine Venerable-level challenger felt a massive repelling force within the "Myriad Blood Lantern," directly ejecting him out.
As he was expelled, he shouted internally, "I made it! I'm the first! I must be the first to arrive!"
His gaze swiftly fixed ahead.
Then, he directly saw a massive spatial exit ahead.
That must be the exit to leave Heavenly God Mountain!
The challenger also noticed, next to the exit, there were five divine pools radiating with shimring Divine Light—none other than the "Divine Transformation Pools," capable of bringing a breakthrough in one's realm!
However, the mont his eyes fell upon the five "Divine Transformation Pools," his delighted smile instantly froze.
"Ye Chen... Senior Brother Ye Chen!"
What caused his smile to freeze was the fact that, contrary to his belief that he was the first to arrive, he saw a figure he knew all too well in one of the Divine Transformation Pools—Ye Chen, sitting cross-legged and cultivating with his eyes closed!
"Senior Brother Ye Chen got here faster than !"
The Superior Earth Divine Venerable-level challenger found it utterly unbelievable.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Ye Chen, like , also encountered incredibly weak slaughtering entities?"
The thought quickly made him want to approach Ye Chen and ask what level of entities Ye Chen had faced.
But in the next mont, the challenger dismissed the idea altogether.
Because, right outside Ye Chen's "Divine Transformation Pool," a radiant screen suddenly displayed Ye Chen's results within the "Myriad Blood Lantern."
Ye Chen, in the Myriad Blood Lantern, slaughtered five waves of entities, totaling: 89 Middle Heavenly God-level entities, 56 Superior Heavenly God-level entities, 28 Lower Immortal Divine Venerable-level entities, 16 Middle Immortal Divine Venerable-level entities, and 3 Superior Immortal Divine Venerable-level entities!
"Superior Immortal Divine Venerable-level entities?! Three?!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen's results, the challenger stood completely stunned.
It took dozens of breaths before he finally recovered from his shock.
This ti, he dared not disturb Ye Chen at all, without even a flicker of an idea to inquire about his experience.
What a joke.
Soone who could even slaughter Superior Immortal Divine Venerable-level entities!
How could he dare to interrupt such a Senior Brother Ye Chen?
Even the earlier thought of comparing himself to Ye Chen now seed utterly laughable in his own mind!
At last, after letting out a deep sigh, the challenger followed the Divine Light's guidance, located the second-ranked "Divine Transformation Pool" among the five, and entered it, beginning his own state of cultivation, just like Ye Chen.
Not long after.
A third challenger successfully arrived.
When this third challenger saw that Ye Chen and the Superior Earth Divine Venerable had already arrived ahead of him, he, too, was taken by surprise.
And upon seeing the slaughter scores displayed outside Ye Chen's and the Superior Earth Divine Venerable's "Divine Transformation Pools."
The results of the Superior Earth Divine Venerable instantly made this third challenger envious of his good fortune.
As for Ye Chen's results, they sent this third challenger into prolonged shock once more!
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...
More challengers continued arriving at the exit.
Each of these later arrivals, upon seeing the combat accomplishnts of those who preceded them to the exit, voiced either astonishnt or sighs of resignation.
The top five challengers who made it through also entered the respective Divine Transformation Pools, beginning their cultivation.
The sixth challenger to arrive, upon discovering all five pools were already occupied, was left utterly frustrated at having fallen short.
However, in the end, he accepted the outco.
Although he failed to make it into the top five, he still placed in the top thirty, and this ti, he could safely leave Heavenly God Mountain with substantial gains.
Moreover, even though he couldn't enter the wondrous "Divine Transformation Pool," rely being among the top thirty gave him the opportunity to increase his realm by one level.
Upon being the sixth arrival, a Divine Light descended upon him. In montary brilliance, this challenger directly broke through from the Middle Earth Divine Venerable realm to the Superior Earth Divine Venerable realm!
Now, he only awaited the final opening of the exit to leave with a three-tier realm jump and a bounty of treasures from Heavenly God Mountain!
Inside the first-ranked Divine Transformation Pool where Ye Chen resided.
At that mont, Ye Chen remained completely unaware of how fast or how many others were reaching the exit after him.
He didn't even notice the Superior Earth Divine Venerable who had been the second to arrive after him.
Because, upon entering the "Divine Transformation Pool," Ye Chen imdiately sensed the isolating energy within the pool engulfing him, shielding him inside and blocking his Divine Sense from the outside world.
Ye Chen had no way of perceiving what was happening beyond the pool.
All he could feel was the torrential Life Origin power and boundless Divine Power surging into his body.
Under such circumstances, Ye Chen had no ti to think of anything else.
He knew he had only one month to absorb the benefits of the "First Divine Transformation Pool."
He had to seize every mont to draw on the energy within!
...
Within Heavenly God Mountain, the final sprint was well underway, as the countdown to departure lood.
At this ti, the Sovereigns who had led the five Divine Kingdoms' 530,000 challengers to Heavenly God Mountain were growing visibly anxious.
"I wonder how those youngsters have fared in their trials?"
"Although most of them will perish, those who survive will surely reap astonishing rewards!"
A Sovereign from the Lancang Divine Kingdom voiced his thoughts aloud.
A Sovereign from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom, eyes gleaming, added: "I don't care about the fate of the others, but in our kingdom, Hua Xuelian is the one I have the highest hopes for. He's already exceptionally powerful, and if he breaks through to either the High-tier Earth Divine Venerable or the Heavenly Divine Venerable level here, it'll be a monuntal gain for the Qianjue Divine Kingdom!"
"After all, in the outside world, it'd take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to reach the Heavenly Divine Venerable realm in cultivation, whereas here in Heavenly God Mountain, as long as one has luck, it could be accomplished in an instant!"
The words of the Qianjue Sovereign drew nods of agreent from two other Sovereigns of the sa Divine Kingdom.
anwhile, the three Sovereigns accompanying the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom maintained calm composure, replying: "There's no need for concern. Whether Hua Xuelian, Lin Shan, or our own Sima Liao, all possess imnse strength and are unlikely to face significant issues."
"We simply need to wait for their exit!"
"We're particularly curious to see how much progress Sima Liao will achieve. If his advancents are substantial, we'll prioritize cultivating him further. After all, the 'Stellar Domain Genius Battle' in a few years awaits, and we're counting on him to represent the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom then!"
Among the five Divine Kingdoms, the Snow Desert, Qianjue, and Black Dragon Mountain Divine Kingdoms stood out as the strongest trio.
Their confidence was palpable, leaving the sovereigns of the weaker Lancang Divine Kingdom heaping praises on them: "The disciples of the Snow Desert Kingdom are undoubtedly exceptional."
These flattery remarks brought smiles to the faces of the three Snow Desert Sovereigns.
In contrast, within the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom, the Sovereigns Tian i and Jia Lan wore solemn expressions.
Unlike the other Sovereigns who harbored high hopes for their disciples but didn't dwell overly on their survival, these two were deeply concerned.
After all, among this group of challengers, there was one individual they deeply cared about—Ye Chen!
Sovereign Tian i had been entrusted by the Northern Territory King to look after Ye Chen, while Sovereign Jia Lan had been tasked by Sovereign Xuechen. Both held nothing but earnest hopes for Ye Chen's safety.
Although they knew Ye Chen was extraordinarily powerful, neither Tian i nor Jia Lan could rest easy until the very mont all survivors returned from Heavenly God Mountain.
...
Of course, those who closely monitored the trials within Heavenly God Mountain weren't limited to the Sovereigns waiting outside.
Far away, within their respective Divine Kingdoms, others also eagerly awaited the conclusion of this expedition.
In the Ice Emperor Realm within the Ten Thousand Beasts Star Domain, inside the Zixuan Treasure Palace where Jiang Yao and Long Li resided.
Jiang Yao, usually imrsed in painstaking cultivation, now found herself unable to focus entirely on her training.
"Long Li said Ye Chen must fulfill three tasks set by the two Sovereigns. This is his ti to complete the second task—charging through Heavenly God Mountain!"
"Ye Chen, you'll surely succeed!"
"This Zixuan Treasure Palace only allows cultivation and prohibits leaving without completing training tasks. Otherwise, I'd have… found a way to see you!"
"Ye Chen, in a few more years, I'll surely leave this place!"
Atop one of the countless steps within the Zixuan Treasure Palace, Jiang Yao ditated deeply.
Down below, the young girl Long Li also seed lost in thought.
A certain figure that lingered in her mind refused to fade away.
"Ye Chen."
"I believe in you. Heavenly God Mountain won't pose a challenge you can't overco..."
Long Li, lost in her thoughts for a long while, finally clenched her tiny fists tightly.
...
In the Black Dragon Mountain Divine Kingdom, a neighboring realm to the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom.
Located in its Northern Region was Frost God City, an ordinary divine city.
There resided the Lin Family, a humble clan whose strongest mber had only reached the Middle Earth Divine Venerable realm.
Yet despite its modest stature, the Lin Family of Frost God City was widely respected throughout the city.
For one thing, a prodigious talent nad Lin Shan had erged from the Lin Family, gaining admission to the fad Black Dragon Divine Palace as one of its disciples.
For soone to rise from an ordinary divine city like Frost God City and ascend to the ranks of a Black Dragon Divine Palace disciple was an exceedingly rare accomplishnt in the city's history.
This alone earned the Lin Family widespread admiration among countless martial artists in Frost God City.
Furthermore, the Lin Family's renown was also tied to another reason—a peerless young beauty in the family, Lin Shan's equally talented sister, Lin Fei'er, who once stirred awe throughout Frost God City with her unparalleled aptitude on par with Lin Shan's.
Tragically, Lin Fei'er had fallen gravely ill several years ago, halting her cultivation and even regressing in her realm.
Though Lin Fei'er had once been destined to follow in Lin Shan's footsteps and enter the prestigious Black Dragon Divine Palace, that dream now seed entirely out of reach.
In the Lin Family's residence within Frost God City.
Inside a private chamber, a pale but stunning sixteen-year-old girl lay on a bed.
Beside her were her father and mother, their faces filled with concern.
"Fei'er, how are you feeling? You must hold on! Your brother will return soon, and he'll surely bring back the pills to cure your Cold Poison!"
The elderly couple's eyes glimred with anxious care as they watched their frail daughter.
But the girl only shook her head weakly. "Father, Mother, I only wish for Brother to return safely. As for my illness, I know there's probably no cure."
