Peerless God Emperor

He had heard some of the elders mention that the Master possessed a heaven-defying object. It was precisely because of this divine object that the previous Wasteland Lord recognized him and took him in as a direct disciple.    

Is this the divine object?    

Wasteland Lord's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present. Seeing the look of shock on their faces, he revealed a smile, "These are the Desolate Crystals."    

"I once heard the Master mention that there existed some extraordinary divine objects in the world that were born from the heavens and the earth. Divine Crystals are one of them!" Murong Guangzhao said excitedly, his eyes showing signs of fanaticism.    

Qin Xuan looked at Murong Guangzhao. Normally, Murong Guangzhao had a haughty temperament, as though he viewed everything as nothing, but he never would have thought that he would also reveal such an expression, which was very normal. With the allure of the divine crystal, even a saint would find it difficult to resist, let alone a person in the Origin Emperor Realm.    

"The Desolate Crystal is the key to this secret realm." Wasteland Lord said, he pushed his hand forward, and the Desolate Crystal seemed to be affected by an invisible force, floating towards the statue.    

Strands of grey light emanated from the Desolate Crystal, unceasingly flowing into the sculpture. After which, an incomparably shocking scene appeared. The statue seemed to come to life as the pitch-black color on its surface disappeared, before being replaced by an incomparably dazzling golden brilliance, causing people to be unable to open their eyes.    

"This is …" Qin Xuan's expression shook, the statue seemed to have resonated with the Desolate Crystal, which allowed the power of the Desolate Crystal to be transferred into the statue, allowing the statue to shine again.    

Gradually, the light emitted by the statue became increasingly dazzling and powerful to the extreme. Boundless energy gushed forth from the statue, enveloping all areas of the ninth floor.    

"Bam." A light sound came out from the statue, in the next moment, the eyes of the sculpture suddenly lit up, as though it had opened them, revealing a dark gray luster. Staring at Qin Xuan, Wasteland Lord and the others, the eyes seemed to come from the ancient past, filled with an endless ancient aura.    

Seeing that, Ouyang Huang was startled, he immediately bowed: "The seventeenth Wasteland Lord Ouyang Huang greets ancestor!"    

Seeing that, Qin Xuan and the other two all bowed to the sculpture, their expressions were respectful, but their hearts were not at peace, could it be that the ancestor who had fallen countless of years ago still had a will in this world? This was too scary.    

A hint of confusion appeared in the statue's eyes. After a long time, it spoke with a hoarse voice, "Has the 17th one arrived already?"    

"Exactly." Ouyang Huang said.    

After that, Qin Xuan and the other two felt an invisible thought sweeping across their bodies, and the statue opened his mouth to ask: "Why are all of them only in the Origin Emperor realm?"    

"These three people are the most talented of the younger generation chosen by the Wasteland Region. Their potential is limitless, so I want to send them into the Barren Tomb to comprehend more stable and powerful rules in preparation for the future." All along, only those who had entered the Barren Tomb had the Peak Stage of the Emperor Realm, and all those who had entered the Barren Tomb to look for the opportunity to enter the Sacred Realm.    

"The three most outstanding." The statue muttered, then looked at Qin Xuan and the other two, and spoke again: "Usually, those who enter Barren Tomb are all at the peak of the Emperor Realm, but since he has called you all with unparalleled talent, let me see if you have the qualifications to enter the Barren Tomb."    

As soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of Qin Xuan, Murong Guangzhao, and Ji Xuan all froze. They did not expect that they would have to undergo another test, this had completely exceeded their expectations.    

This statue in front of him was an existence from countless years ago. It was the first Wasteland Lord of the wasteland region.    

Ouyang Huang was startled, he did not think that he would do this, but he quickly calmed down, he believed that with their talent, passing the test would not be a problem.    

"Which one of you will go first?" Ouyang Huang looked at the three and asked.    

"I'm third. Then I'll throw in the towel first." Ji Xuan said. He stepped forward, walked to the front of the sculpture and bowed: "Junior Ji Xuan, Fourth Level of Origin Emperor Stage Realm."    

After the Barren Domain Large Competition finished, Ji Xuan also smoothly broke through and reached the Fourth Level of Origin Emperor Stage Realm.    

Ouyang Huang looked at the sculpture and spoke: "Ji Xuan is my direct disciple, and the three who obtained the Barren Domain Large Competition are ranked twenty-second. Every hundred years, Xiangtian Palace will promulgate a List that includes the top heaven's pride level experts in the Nine Regions."    

It was obvious that Ouyang Huang was introducing Ji Xuan to the first Wasteland Lord.    

"Let's begin." The sculpture said with an extremely calm tone, as though he did not care about Ouyang Huang's words.    

Ouyang Huang's expression was slightly embarrassed, but he could understand that the era where the first Wasteland Lord was located was too far away. He didn't even know how far his martial arts had progressed, so there was no meaning in calling him a rank, but strength was the only way to prove it.    

"Perform well." Ouyang Huang encouraged as he looked at Ji Xuan.    

"Yes." Ji Xuan nodded confidently, after that he looked straight into the eyes of the statue, his aura burst forth from his body, the incomparably resplendent Spatial Light lit up his entire body, as though he was bathing in the light of the heavens.    

He knew that this was not only to prove himself to the ancestors, but also to prove the glory of the current generation, and to not let the ancestors down.    

This was the first time he had seen Ji Xuan completely release his brilliance. Even when he was on the Barren Domain Large Competition stage, he felt that Ji Xuan was holding back and did not truly use all of his strength.    

"Hmm?" The statue let out a soft hum. Its eyes revealed a strange light as if it was very interested.    

"Space … distorted." Ji Xuan spat out a voice as he clenched his palm forward. As if space had been held by a large invisible hand, it twisted together crazily, emitting a cracking sound.    

"Space, teleport." Ji Xuan said again. Right after he finished speaking, a resplendent Spatial Light enveloped his body and a powerful spatial ripple pervaded outwards. His figure disappeared into thin air, and in the next moment, he reappeared in another space.    

"Space … mince." Ji Xuan did not stop to continue speaking, his finger pointed forward, and with a series of puchi sounds, the space in front of him started to tremble violently, the terrifying power of space started to wreak havoc, as though sharp blades were cutting through space, and strands of sharp Spirit Qi continued to emit from within.    

After that, Ji Xuan retracted his Qi and looked at the statue again, waiting for his response.    

At this time, Ouyang Huang looked at the sculpture with a serious expression, feeling a sense of nervousness in his heart. Regarding this senior, he was not too confident in being able to satisfy him.    

At the same time, Qin Xuan and Murong Guangzhao also looked at the sculpture, not knowing how he would evaluate Ji Xuan.    

"In the realm of Fourth Level of Origin Emperor Stage, you have comprehended the spatial laws of the great perfection realm, and have mastered the use of three types of spatial powers; your talent is not bad." The statue spoke slowly, his tone was not hurried nor slow, the expressions of Qin Xuan, Ouyang Huang and the rest froze, this level of talent, was it not bad?    

Ji Xuan's heart trembled, a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes, obviously, his performance did not truly move his ancestors.    

Murong Guangzhao's expression also changed a bit, but he was puzzled. With Ji Xuan's talent, he could only get a good evaluation, so this ancestor of the wastelands' standards were really too high.    

"However, to be able to do this, it is sufficient to prove that your talent is indeed extraordinary." Another voice sounded, and the statue continued: "You have the bearing of a saint, you can enter Barren Tomb to cultivate."    

As the sound of his voice faded, the spectators all froze in shock. After which, smiles broke out on their faces.    

"It seems that in this generation of elders, there are many saints." Qin Xuan said in a low voice.    

"Yes, indeed." Ouyang Huang nodded in agreement, and said: "At that time, the martial arts civilization was very prosperous, and many unrivalled figures emerged. It could be said that all flowers bloomed at once, and many schools were established.    

"Unfortunately, as time passed, many precious inheritances have been lost. Only then did martial arts begin to decline." Ouyang Huang sighed with regret.    

Hearing Ouyang Huang's words, Qin Xuan had a strange thought in his mind. Perhaps the decline of the martial arts civilization was related to the great war that happened during the Ancient Era. Many strong people died, and there were no legacies left behind, so the martial arts naturally declined as a result.    

Of course, this was just Qin Xuan's guess.    

"Murong Guangzhao, you go." Ouyang Huang's gaze fell on Murong Guangzhao's body.    

Murong Guangzhao lightly nodded, and did not say much else. He directly stood out and said: "Junior Murong Guangzhao, Fifth Level of Origin Emperor Stage Realm."    

"This child is second in the Barren Domain Large Competition s, and is ranked nineteenth in the Nine Domains List s. He is a Radiant Sacred Body and has comprehended both the laws of time and space. Both have reached the Large Success Realm, and his potential is limitless." Ouyang Huang introduced, and his tone was filled with praise for Murong Guangzhao.    

"Let me see your ability." The statue said.    

Murong Guangzhao took a step forward, and the moment his foot landed, a bright light blossomed from the bottom of his feet, which then spread throughout his body. His entire body was filled with the laws of light, and he seemed to transform into a divine king of light, releasing a divine aura, causing no one to dare defile.    

"That's right." The sculpture opened its mouth to praise, but there was a rare hint of surprise in its voice, "What about spacetime?"    

Murong Guangzhao's eyes flashed with a strange light as his gaze shifted over. The space around him froze, and the time within it seemed to stop as well, as though it had never even existed.    

"Very good." The sculpture's eyes stared at Murong Guangzhao, and it seemed to carry a somewhat strange light, and said: "Your innate advantage is not bad, although the Sacred Light Body has some flaws, your future achievements will not be low, and can similarly enter Barren Tomb to cultivate."    

When Murong Guangzhao heard this, his pupils constricted and he could not help but clench his fists. Master was indeed right, his Sacred Body was not perfect, there was a trace of flaw, this point was destined to not reach the peak of his cultivation in the future.    

However, he was unwilling to accept this. Since the Heavens had bestowed him with such an extraordinary physique, he had to release a dazzling light so that the sky could no longer cover his eyes!
