Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1660: Sunset Gate (Second Update)

Three days passed in a flash.

At dawn, the east revealed a pale white, heralding the start of a new day.

And thus, the ten-year event of the Eastern Spirit Domain, the Sunset Chosen One, was finally about to commence!

The East Spirit Immortal Pond disciples were summoned by the Three Hall Masters early in the morning to prepare to ascend to the peak of the Dragon Peak Holy Mountain and participate in the Sunset Chosen One.

Yunluo Sacred Land also showed signs of activity.

The Five Thunders Sacred Land moved into action as well.

Before the competition even began, the mountainside was crowded with martial artists, slowly gathering.

Though they could not partake in this genius battle, they wanted to seize a good spot. If they arrived late, they might not even have the chance to watch live, only to hear the results broadcast by others at the foot of the mountain.

Time flowed slowly.

Disciples from the Three Great Sacred Lands ascended to the peak of Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, rolling up their sleeves, eager to try.

Some were nervous, some excited, some restless...

Everyone was waiting for the legendary arrival of the ”Sunset Ancient City” ruins.

Buzz! Buzz!

The void trembled, a distant, ancient sound echoed from the sky.

It was as if a gate from ancient times was slowly opening.

And as if an ancient divine palace was slowly sailing through the eternal void.

Gradually descending upon the Dragon Peak Holy Mountain.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Space vibrated, and a deep rumble sounded from the depths of Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, seemingly responding to something.

In the dark distance, black mist churned, as if about to be pierced by sunlight, causing unease and panic.

From deep within the earth, a skyward blood light started to fade, returning the world to darkness.

The multitude of beings trembled, ancient peaks shook.

Everything seemed to freeze in time, silently waiting for that ancient entity to descend from the starry sky.

Rumble!

Like the sky was splitting apart, like the Nine Heavens were crumbling.

Countless cracks extended from the sky above Dragon Peak Holy Mountain.

It seemed as if a huge object was crouching atop Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, trying to tear open the sky and forcibly enter!

Crack! Crack!!

A thunderous explosion, the sky shattered open!

Countless space fragments scattered in all directions.

A gap connected to the starry sky appeared before everyone’s eyes, allowing a close view of the celestial bodies.

At the gap, a massive shadow slowly covered the sky.

Amidst everyone’s contracting pupils, an ancient bronze giant gate, towering thousands of feet high, slowly descended from the gap in the sky to Dragon Peak Holy Mountain!

The bronze giant gate was adorned with dragons and phoenixes, with a Dark Dragon coiling on the left and a Phoenix perched on the right. Even though it was an inanimate object, it exuded the oppressive aura of a Divine Beast, making countless lives tremble with awe.

The giant gate was mottled and filled with a primordial desolation, displaying the long years and endless vicissitudes it had endured.

Boundless desolation penetrated through the bronze giant gate, sweeping across the lands and rivers.

Shock, a deep shock, seeped into the hearts of everyone present.

The majestic bronze giant gate that shattered the skies and broke through the world, brought an unprecedented shock to all who beheld it.

Even the likes of the Blazing Sun Palace Master, Biluo Saintess, or the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion Master from Yunluo Sacred Land...

They fell into deep shock, no matter how many times they had seen it, standing before the majestic bronze giant gate, they couldn’t avoid their hearts trembling intensely.

”Is this the legendary Sunset Gate that leads to the Sunset Ancient City?”

Qing Ping Fairy’s snow-white eyes widened.

Tuoba Yan also took a deep breath, feeling his breathing become somewhat rapid.

Atop Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, whether the high-ranking elders of the sacred lands or the elite disciples, immense reverence filled them all as they gazed at the giant gate.

As the giant gate descended, its majestic aura filled all directions, with vast power traversing the Sky Dome clouds and spanning the endless starry river.

Rumble!

The ancient bronze giant gate finally landed on the earth.

A dead silence fell over the scene, with everyone fixating on the majestic bronze giant gate!

Green light flickered, densely surrounding the area around the bronze giant gate, radiating a hundred-mile radius!

When the light faded away, tangible bronze arenas appeared before the crowd.

A glance revealed ten arenas, with the total number of participants from the Three Great Sacred Lands reaching about a thousand, and along with some super sects from across the Eastern Spirit Domain, securing one or two spots each, the total number nearly reached ten thousand.

After all, the Eastern Spirit Domain is vast, and even within a single Heavenly Saint Empire, there are many super sects.

Ling Feng had only recently learned of this news, but unfortunately, the Sky White Empire had just gone through an internal turmoil and was in disarray. As the National Guardian Divine Sect, Cangqiong Sect probably had no time to participate in this Sunset Chosen One.

Otherwise, he might have had the chance to encounter some familiar faces.

These nearly ten thousand participating martial artists would be assigned to the ten arenas for the contest.

Each group would determine the top hundred, eliminating most of the participants.

For disciples of the Three Great Sacred Lands, this round would likely pose no problem, but for disciples from ordinary sects, advancing through this first round was already a tremendous honor.

Of course, the first round differed from the subsequent matches in that contestants could not plunder each other’s Power of Destiny.

Only during the second round’s Top-Thousand Genius Competition would participants begin to plunder each other’s Power of Destiny.

Swish! Swish! Swish!—

As everyone was still stunned by the magnificent arenas, ten figures soared into the sky.

These ten figures were all clad in golden robes, their expressions solemn, including two who had previously come to greet the East Spirit Immortal Pond party outside Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, namely Cangwu Divine General and the cold-faced Divine General.

These strong individuals who bore the Demigod Bloodline were, in a certain sense, the organizers of the Sunset Chosen One.

In the next moment, these ten strong individuals simultaneously produced jade plate-shaped treasures, which then descended into the arenas below.

Rumble!

The ten arenas gently shook.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, light and shadow flickered atop the bronze arenas, each forming a golden figure with a blank expression, exuding a terrifying aura as they stood indifferently on the arenas.

These puppets, formed through transformation, were the judges of each arena, entirely responsible for deciding victories and losses.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The bronze giant gate emitted another layer of green light, radiating over everyone.

All the participants who had previously received talismans from those Demigod Race experts, each glowed with golden light, and the Luck Dragon behind them manifested automatically beyond control.

It was immediately clear whose Luck Dragon was higher or lower.

Especially Ling Feng’s nine-headed, nine-zhang Golden Dragon, which was like an overlord among the crowd, drawing the attention of countless strong individuals.

As Cangwu Divine General had stated before, these strong individuals probably already regarded Ling Feng as a prized target. Seizing even half of Ling Feng’s Power of Destiny could be considered a worthwhile endeavor.
