The sky above the Imperial City was filled with a vast and boundless aura. A terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, causing the expressions of countless cultivators to change drastically. They raised their heads to look, only to see a streak of dazzling golden light tearing through the void, landing directly in the center of the Imperial City.
That golden light was a massive war chariot, pulled by nine Flood Dragons, its body engraved with countless ancient patterns, emanating a desolate and ancient aura. On the chariot stood a figure clad in golden armor, his face obscured by a golden mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as deep as the stars.
"Nine Dragons Heaven Devour! It's the people from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress!" someone exclaimed in shock.
The appearance of the golden war chariot immediately stirred up a commotion. Following closely behind, several other terrifying auras descended from the sky, each one powerful enough to shake the heavens. They were all experts from the various great powers of the Nine Heavens Continent.
"Snow Moon Holy Academy, Flame Temple, East Sea Dragon Palace... they're all here!" someone counted, their voice trembling.
These forces, any one of which was enough to dominate a region, were now gathered together, clearly for some major event.
At this moment, within the Imperial Palace, Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut. A vast and boundless aura surged around him, causing the space within the palace to tremble slightly. He had been cultivating in seclusion for several days, and his strength had improved significantly. He had already broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm and was steadily advancing toward the Eighth Layer.
Suddenly, Lin Feng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He sensed several powerful auras descending outside the palace, each one not weaker than his own, and some even stronger.
"They're finally here." Lin Feng murmured to himself, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace, the sky was already filled with figures. They were all experts from the various great powers, each exuding an extraordinary aura, their eyes carrying a hint of arrogance. When they saw Lin Feng walk out, their gazes immediately focused on him.
"So you are Lin Feng?" A voice suddenly rang out. It came from a young man in a golden long robe. He stood atop the golden war chariot, looking down at Lin Feng with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"That's right." Lin Feng replied calmly, his gaze meeting the young man's.
"I am Huangfu Long of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress." The young man in the golden long robe said coldly, "I heard that you, Lin Feng, are quite famous in the Snow Moon Kingdom. Today, I came specifically to see what makes you so special."
"I am nothing special, just a bit stronger than you." Lin Feng replied lightly.
"Hmph, arrogant!" Huangfu Long snorted coldly, a flash of anger in his eyes. He was a genius of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, having cultivated the Nine Dragons Heaven Devour technique to the pinnacle. Among his peers, he had rarely met his match. Now, being looked down upon by a mere cultivator from a small kingdom, how could he not be furious?
"Whether I am arrogant or not, you will find out soon enough." Lin Feng said indifferently, not taking Huangfu Long's anger to heart.
"Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing." At that moment, a gentle voice rang out. It was a young woman dressed in a snow-white long dress, her face covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water. She was Xue Biyao of the Snow Moon Holy Academy.
"Brother Lin, long time no see." Xue Biyao smiled slightly, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell.
"Sister Xue, you flatter me." Lin Feng nodded slightly, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes. Xue Biyao had helped him before, and he remembered that kindness.
"Lin Feng, this time we have gathered for the matter of the Immortal Kingdom Trial. I wonder if you are interested in joining?" Xue Biyao asked directly.
"Immortal Kingdom Trial?" Lin Feng was slightly startled, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He had heard of the Immortal Kingdom Trial, a grand event held once every hundred years in the Nine Heavens Continent. Only the most outstanding geniuses were qualified to participate. Those who succeeded would receive immense benefits, even the opportunity to become an Immortal.
"I am indeed interested." Lin Feng nodded. The Immortal Kingdom Trial was a great opportunity, and he naturally did not want to miss it.
"Very well, since Brother Lin is willing to join, then we will set off together in three days." Xue Biyao said with a smile.
"Alright." Lin Feng agreed.
After that, the experts from the various great powers left one after another, each returning to their own resting places to prepare for the upcoming Immortal Kingdom Trial.
Lin Feng also returned to the palace, continuing his cultivation. He knew that the Immortal Kingdom Trial would be fraught with danger, and only by becoming stronger could he stand undefeated.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the sky above the Imperial City was filled with a dazzling array of light. A massive Void Ship descended from the sky, its hull engraved with countless mysterious patterns, emanating a powerful spatial fluctuation.
"Let's go." Xue Biyao said to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded, and together with Xue Biyao and the others, they boarded the Void Ship.
The Void Ship tore through the void, heading straight for the distant Trial Ground. The Immortal Kingdom Trial was about to begin.
