# Chapter 608: Opportunity Seed
At dawn, a hint of fish-belly white appeared on the horizon. In the Fallen Heavenly Mountain Range, the silent space gradually restored to noise.
At this moment, the entire vast and boundless Fallen Heavenly Mountain Range was completely filled with figures.
On the peaks of the eight main peaks, seven people stood atop them. Though they stood there calmly, they made others want to look up to them. Truly powerful individuals could subdue others with their very aura.
As for the eighty-one stone pillar peaks, they were also densely packed with people at this moment, some sitting cross-legged, others standing proudly on the stone pillar peaks.
Of course, besides the eight main peak summits and the eighty-one stone pillar peaks, the mountainsides of the main peaks and stone pillar peaks were also full of figures. At a glance, they looked like endless ants—too many people, so many that it made one's scalp tingle just looking at them.
This group of people lined up from the top of the mountain peaks all the way down to the bottom, to the cliff edges, and onto the flat ground. But even so, the crowd was tireless, occupying small hills for a better view of the vast boundless land in the center of the Fallen Heavenly Mountain Range. Everyone already knew that this would be the stage for the first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
At this moment, on a stone pillar peak, Lin Feng's eyes slowly opened. He took a few deep breaths, feeling refreshed and clear throughout his entire body.
Raising his head, Lin Feng looked at the sky. It was dawn. The Snow Domain Grand Competition was finally about to begin.
Jun Moxi, Tang Youyou, Qing Mengxin, Yun Feiyang, and the others also revealed expressions of excitement. They had been waiting for this day for a long time as well. The Snow Domain Grand Competition, the moment for them to compete for strength and glory, was finally arriving.
On this stone pillar peak, only their group was present. Who would dare to compete with Jun Moxi for a stone pillar peak? Even among the eight main peaks, one peak's summit remained empty, and no one dared to occupy it.
The morning light added a hint of coolness to the crowd. Everyone watched the sky. The long-awaited battle competition of the Snow Domain's Thirteen Kingdoms was finally about to descend.
Just then, in the void, a roaring hurricane swept past, howling through the space.
A rumbling sound rang out. In the very center of the Fallen Heavenly Mountain Range, above the vast flat land, a figure suddenly appeared standing in the void out of nowhere.
This figure was an old man, snow-white all over, even his hair as white as snow—extremely distinctive, unforgettable at a single glance.
This person stood in the void, his gaze sweeping over the crowd in the Fallen Heavenly Mountain Range. With just a casual glance, he made everyone feel that the old man was looking at them. At least that one gaze just now had paused on them—not just one person's feeling, but everyone's.
A casual gaze that made everyone feel it.
"Divine Palace person."
The locals of the Mysterious City immediately guessed upon seeing this person. This snow-white old man was definitely a Divine Palace powerhouse.
Moreover, among the four empires, many who knew some inside information understood that this person was a Divine Palace powerhouse.
"Let me first introduce myself. I am the Divine Palace Envoy, Xue Wuchang. The first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition will be supervised by me."
This person spoke, and immediately, murmuring voices rose and fell.
Divine Palace? How did another Divine Palace appear? Why had they never heard of such a powerful force? Even the Snow Domain Grand Competition was supervised by them.
Clearly, this meant that the Divine Palace held a transcendent status in the Snow Domain.
"Now, the young geniuses selected by the forces of the four empires, come before me and stand in the four directions, so I can distinguish you clearly."
The Divine Palace's Xue Wuchang slowly said, as if his word was law. When he spoke, others could not refuse.
Jun Moxi took a step, and his body rose into the air, taking the eastern position.
"People of Dragon Mountain Empire, come to my side." Jun Moxi said. Immediately, figures flickered—all from the forces of Dragon Mountain Empire—converging toward Jun Moxi.
"Xiao Ya, take care of yourself."
Lin Feng instructed Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry about me. Be careful yourself."
"Alright, I'm going."
As Lin Feng's words fell, his body whistled through the air, shooting straight into the sky, and instantly gathered among the crowd of Dragon Mountain Empire.
At the same time, on the seven main peaks, Di Ling and the others each stepped forward, taking positions in the south, west, and north.
No words were needed. The geniuses sent by the forces of the other three empires rose from the eighty-one stone pillar peaks and joined their respective formations.
Each of the four empires had thirty-six young geniuses, totaling one hundred and forty-four talents, all gathered together in the void. Not a single one was missing—extremely imposing.
The crowd looked up at the one hundred and forty-four genius figures in the void. They were the strongest talents of the Snow Domain. They represented the younger generation of the Snow Domain, the future of the Snow Domain.
Finally, they were about to face the cruel competition. Many geniuses would die, but many would also stand out, transform after the competition, and grow into powerful experts.
Xue Wuchang swept his gaze over the crowd and nodded slightly: "One hundred and forty-four geniuses, very good. The Snow Domain Grand Competition—prepare to give it your all. Perhaps this competition will determine your future and your fate."
A calm voice directly penetrated the hearts of the crowd. The Snow Domain Grand Competition—give it your all. This competition would be one that determined their fate, not just an ordinary battle.
"Alright, let me first tell you the rules of this first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition. The land beneath your feet is the Fallen Demon Domain. Once you step into it, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, you will fall. Your cultivation will be suppressed to the First Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Your martial souls, the power within your bodies, and even your techniques and combat skills—all will be suppressed and unusable. Within the Fallen Demon Domain, only divine abilities and techniques cultivated within it are recognized."
Xue Wuchang slowly said, causing everyone's pupils to contract.
Stepping into the Fallen Demon Domain, their cultivation would be sealed to the First Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm? And the martial souls, techniques, combat skills, and other powers they possessed would all be unusable?
This Fallen Demon Domain was far too domineering.
"That's right, just as you think. Once you step into the Fallen Demon Domain, you will all return to the same starting point. No matter how great the difference in your current cultivation and strength, in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, everyone has a chance. Of course, the prerequisite is that your talent is high and your comprehension is strong."
"Everyone, stepping into the Fallen Demon Domain means returning to the same starting point!"
Those with weaker strength heard these words and their eyes lit up with excitement. They naturally believed in their own talent. This way, they wouldn't face instant annihilation by the most powerful individuals.
"Next, I will give each of you an opportunity seed. After stepping into the Fallen Demon Domain, with this seed, you can choose techniques to cultivate. Moreover, this seed will have benefits you cannot imagine. In short, work hard. Let this seed exert its maximum utility, and you will be shocked."
Xue Wuchang announced loudly, then waved his hand. Golden rays of light scattered from his body, flying toward the crowd.
The crowd instinctively wanted to dodge, but recalling Xue Wuchang's words, they controlled themselves and stood still, allowing that ray of light to descend upon their brows.
In an instant, on the brows of all one hundred and forty-four geniuses, a golden light appeared, extremely clear. Everyone was the same.
"Alright, prepare to enter the Fallen Demon Domain. The Fallen Demon Domain, arranged over ten years to await you, must be cherished. Such an opportunity is rare in a thousand years. In short, crisis and opportunity coexist. Give everything you can and seize every chance."
Having said this, Xue Wuchang waved his hand. Immediately, the Fallen Demon Domain's misty aura continuously drifted upward. Within this vast demon domain, what lay inside was still invisible to the crowd.
"All of you, enter."
Xue Wuchang said lightly. Everyone's pupils contracted. Once they stepped into this Fallen Demon Domain, the Snow Domain Grand Competition would truly begin.
Waiting for them—was it danger, or opportunity?
"Fallen Demon Domain, let me experience you."
Duan Wudao took a step, and his body instantly entered that mist, disappearing from sight.
Di Ling, Blood Fiend, Ling Xiao, and the others each stepped forward and entered one after another. Next, figures flickered one by one, all stepping into the Fallen Demon Domain. Soon, only Xue Wuchang remained in the void. One hundred and forty-four talented youths had begun their journey!
