After a detailed investigation, Long Chen finally understood that this time, Ruixia Prefecture had gathered the peak experts of the Four Extremes Realm from the entire Tiandu Star Domain.
Many Four Extremes Realm experts already have the ability to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, yet they prefer to seal their cultivation and wait for the Divine Lord Immortal Realm to open.
The Divine Lord Immortal Realm is a sacred land for advancement jointly created by the entire Tiandu Star Domain. Here, countless abilities such as treasure hunting, trials, foundation building, soul expansion, and body forging are all integrated.
The Divine Lord Immortal Realm is not another world, but a fairyland built together by countless forces in the Tiandu Star Domain.
This immortal realm is mainly controlled by the Sacred Pill Hall and opens once every ten years. Legend has it that the Divine Lord Immortal Realm draws power from eight otherworldly sources. Every ten years, the concentration of immortal energy within the realm reaches its peak. Advancing to Divine Lord here is twice as effective with half the effort, with a success rate of nearly 100%.
For humans, advancing seemed insignificant, but for demon beasts, it was different.
The human race's success rate in advancement is over ninety percent, while the probability of demon beasts advancing is about sixty percent. Roughly four out of every ten demon beasts fail and die under the heavenly tribulation.
The beast clan has terrifying physical bodies, but correspondingly, the heavenly tribulations are also extremely formidable. Therefore, for the demon beast race, this Divine Lord Immortal Realm is a sacred place for advancement.
For humans, advancing here would solidify their realm, and the power of the Four Extremes could be elevated once again—it was also a tremendous opportunity.
So before the Divine Lord Immortal Realm opened, countless people had already made preparations, waiting for this opportunity. Some even missed the last opening and waited ten years.
The Divine Lord Immortal Realm in the Tiandu Star Domain is very famous. Every time it opens, it attracts many powerful figures from nearby star domains.
However, for these foreign powerhouses to participate in the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, they must obtain a nameplate issued by the Saint Pill Hall and sign a contract. They must stay in the Tiandu Star Domain for a thousand years, or have more than ten children with them before they can leave.
Because of these conditions, the number of races in the Tianluo Star Domain is extremely large. However, some powerful beast clans have very strict requirements for marriage with humans, demanding that humans possess exceptional talent. Private marriage will result in expulsion from the clan.
The Silverwing Harrier Eagle to which Ying Bokong belonged was considered a mid-to-upper level among the beast clans in the Tianluo Star Domain. Not strong, but somewhat famous; but strong but not even among the true strong clans, neither above nor below, which was quite awkward.
The Falling Star Sect, where Eagle Bokong resides, is a force founded by the Falling Star Divine Sparrow clan. The Silver-winged Harrier Eagle clan is affiliated with the Falling Star Divine Sparrow clan, which is a top-tier force in the Tiandu Star Domain. Therefore, many bird and demon beasts are also affiliated with their power.
In reality, the beast clan is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface. Among species—birds, beasts, hundred-scales, and shells—there are many conflicts among them.
Although in the core of the star domain, the Gulan Domain, they deliberately restrained themselves, private conflicts elsewhere were extremely bloody. So the peace in the Tiandu Star Domain was only superficial. For the sake of common interests, everyone had no choice but to follow the arrangements of the Saint Pill Hall.
As for the Sacred Pill Hall, they basically don't interfere with their private fights; unless a large-scale battle breaks out, they won't step in to mediate.
Therefore, even when Eagle Bokong and the others arrived in the Gulan Domain, they always walked in groups, carrying distress signals on their backs, fearing they might encounter an enemy and be taken out without anyone noticing.
Similarly, if they encounter minor rivals, they will not hesitate to take them out.
According to the rules, when experts from the major star domains come to the Gulan Domain, only those from within the Four Extremes Realm are allowed to enter. In other words, when the Divine Lord Immortal Realm opens, the Sacred Pill Hall does not allow people of other realms to appear within the Gulan Domain.
This was because they feared that some forces might have madmen. If that madman turned out to be a Realm King and could kill the opposing disciples mercilessly, they could wipe out the local powers completely.
To reduce large-scale massacres, the Saint Pill Hall planned all the entrances in the Gulan Domain, allowing only squads to pass through. Therefore, in the Gulan Domain, a faction with hundreds of thousands of disciples could never gather together. They could only press forward toward Ruixia Prefecture. Whether they encountered hostile forces along the way depended on personal luck.
Both were at the Four Extremes Realm, and Long Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Who else was he afraid of? What excited Long Chen the most was that no one here knew him.
Back then, he had asked Huayun Trading Company to spread his name, but since there was no Huayun Trading Company in this area, no one here knew who Long San Ye was.
Moreover, this area lacks the Blood Killing Hall and the Nine Nether Hall, so the chances of the people from the Sacred Pill Hall knowing about Long Chen are very low, which greatly eases his worries.
"Hahaha..."
Just as Long Chen and Yingbokong were inquiring in detail about the Tiandu Star Domain, a cold laugh came from above the void, and hundreds of experts surrounded Long Chen and Yingbokong.
Long Chen had already noticed this group of people coming, but since he was focused on listening to Yingbo Kong recount the situation, he thought they were just passing by, so he didn't pay much attention. He didn't realize that these people were coming specifically for them.
Long Chen glanced at the group and finally noticed that they were wearing the same attire as Eagle Fighter Kong's, meaning they were also disciples of the Falling Star Sect.
Leading them was a man whose face looked like a donkey's, with a double hook on his back, and his body as thin as a bamboo pole. He was extremely ugly, especially when he smiled, his teeth turned outward, making him look even more unsightly.
Eagle Bokong's face instantly turned ugly when he saw the man, while the donkey-faced man looked gloating, laughing heartily: "
Eagle Sky, oh Eagle Sky, you're getting more and more useless, actually becoming the battle pet of the human race. You've disgraced our Falling Star Sect—no, the entire Avian clan—all your dignity."
You think you deserve to compete with me for eighth place? Hahaha, this is hilarious..."
The donkey-faced man laughed so hard it sounded like a donkey braying, which was extremely harsh. Clearly, although Yingbo Kong and the donkey-faced man were fellow disciples, their relationship wasn't very close. Otherwise, that guy wouldn't be so schadenfreude.
The disciples of the Falling Star Sect who had come with the donkey-faced man looked at Eagle Bokong with strange expressions. They had received a distress signal and heard that Eagle Warrior Kong had been defeated and taken away, and that it was a human who took him away. They found it hard to believe.
Even after following the direction provided by Eagle Warrior's subordinates and chasing after them, seeing Eagle Warrior respectfully answering Long Chen's words, they still found it hard to believe what was happening before them.
Yingbo was trembling all over in the air. This donkey-faced man was the person he hated most, and now being mocked by him, he felt like he was going crazy.
Especially the donkey-faced man's laughter, which was already harsh and piercing in this situation.
"Pfft!"
A finger struck the donkey-faced man's forehead, and a bolt of lightning pierced through his skull, abruptly stopping the donkey's howling.
"Sorry, I really can't take it anymore. Your laughter is too powerful." Under the shocked gazes of countless people, Long Chen slowly withdrew the lightning from his fingertip and said apologetically.
