Chapter 580: Chapter 577: Dragon Martial City (13 more!)

The Sect Competition!

These four words often appeared, but this Sect Competition could truly be called a genuine Sect Competition.

This time, there were no restrictions on the number of sects or the levels of sects, whether you were a Ninth-Rate Sect or a First-Class Sect, or even a Super Sect, all could participate!

Across the entire Dragon Martial Continent, there were countless sects. Although many had turned traitor due to the Extraterritorial Demons, leading to the destruction of many, ultimately, there were still numerous survivors.

According to the statistics from the Super Sects, at least over two thousand sects would participate in this grand competition.

Those low-order sects would not typically participate in such competitions because in the competitions, life and death were disregarded, and with their low-order strength, participating would merely be delivering themselves to death.

But this time was different; with catastrophe looming, they had to give it their all!

Sealing their mountain gates might offer temporary safety, but these Extraterritorial Demons could awaken at any time. Once they truly awoke, it would be a great calamity.

Their only way out was to migrate towards the Barren Land.

To enter the Barren Land, one needed three items: the Holy Stone of the Demon Immortal, the Heart of the Titan, and the Ancient Tear. The Cultivator Alliance announced that these items could only be obtained in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal!

Thus, they must give it all they could!

Perhaps, participating in the Sect Competition might lead to death, but if they did not participate, they would lose the qualification to go to the Barren Land. When the Extraterritorial Demons awoke, they would die all the same!

Better to strive than to sit back and wait for death.

Thus, this Sect Competition nearly gathered all the sects of the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

Even those who did not intend to participate in the Sect Competition also wanted to reach the Central Domain directly via the Teleportation Formation; their sole purpose was to seek refuge.

There are Top Ten Super Sects in the Central Domain, although they had all sealed their mountain gates, if one possessed aptitude, it was very possible to be accepted as a disciple by a Super Sect.

Even some leaders of the low-order sects possessed the strength of the Dragon God Realm. Given the current situation, they believed that those Super Sects would not refuse them.

...

Central Domain.

As the central area of the Dragon Martial Continent, this place was once the most prosperous on the entire continent.

Countless Grand Powers were concentrated here, among which the most evident were the Top Ten Super Sects.

Besides that, there were many Hidden Families, as well as places like the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the Dragon Martial Trading House, which on the surface only conducted business but actually had the foundation that could rival Super Sects.

In the Central Domain, there was a city that covered thousands of millions of kilometers, nearly spanning one-tenth of the Central Domain, with a population over a hundred million, making it the largest city on the entire Dragon Martial Continent, without any competition.

This city was called Dragon Martial City.

In the area around Dragon Martial City for thousands of kilometers, there were also no Extraterritorial Demons, clearly not because the Extraterritorial Demons hadn’t descended here, but because... the Extraterritorial Demons here had been eradicated!

In the center of Dragon Martial City, there was a vast barren space, upon which a massive square had been built. The square covered a hundred thousand kilometers, capable of accommodating tens of millions of people standing here at once.

At this moment, in the center of that square, the people from the Top Ten Super Sects were already standing here.

Outside of Dragon Martial City in the sky, there was a huge vortex, precisely that Teleportation Formation.

In front of this Teleportation Formation, there were four rays of light, resembling passages, connecting to the East, West, North, and South Gates of Dragon Martial City.

Before each gate, there stood at least a few thousand guardians, the aura they exuded starting from the Dragon Pill Realm, with hundreds in the Dragon God Realm among them.

”Go in.”

At the East Gate, a middle-aged man with a cold expression on his face faintly displayed disdain.

His aura spread out, revealing him to be at the peak of the Dragon God Realm. The people around him were utterly respectful, clearly showing his high status among these guardians.

”A bunch of ignoramuses.”

Watching the backs of a thousand disciples from a Seventh-Rate Sect, the middle-aged man coldly hmphed, ”The Sect Competition indeed does not differentiate levels, but one should at least consider their own strength. Among these thousand people, the one with the highest cultivation base is merely at the Dragon God Realm Late Stage, and in total, there are only twenty-three in the Dragon God Realm. Participating in the Sect Competition, isn’t it just courting death?”

”Senior Brother Zhang is absolutely right. The sects that just arrived are either Seventh-Rate or Eighth-Rate, with the highest being a Sixth-Rate Sect. But what does a Sixth-Rate Sect amount to? Participating in the Sect Competition, they are ultimately just rushing to their deaths.”

The man next to him, who appeared to be about forty years old, spoke up with a sycophantic and arrogant expression. His cultivation base was at the Dragon God Realm Mid Stage.

”Here comes another one.”

Senior Brother Zhang looked up at the Teleportation Formation.

The Teleportation Formation was flickering, indicating that someone was about to arrive.

”Buzz~”

At that moment, the Teleportation Formation buzzed, and out of the passageway, a thousand people came forth.

”Is this the Central Domain?”

”Tsk, tsk, it really is the most flourishing place in the Dragon Martial Continent. It’s my first time coming to the Central Domain in this lifetime.”

”The Extraterritorial Demons here should have been cleared. The power of the Top Ten Super Sects truly cannot be underestimated.”

”Is this Dragon Martial City? It really is huge, even looking from the sky, I can’t see its end!”

”Hehe, I heard there are many brothels in Dragon Martial City, and each girl in there is top-grade, beautiful, and well-shaped, and they offer great services, hahaha, and that song they sing.”

”Really? When I go in, I must listen to a song.”

As the figures landed, various discussions also spread out.

One could discern from the conversations the mixture of excitement and anticipation, and even longing.

”A bunch of country bumpkins.”

Watching the arrival of these people, the middle-aged man snorted coldly in his heart. The man next to him swept his Divine Sense over the newcomers, startled to find that their cultivation bases were merely in the Dragon Spirit Realm, Dragon Pill Realm, and even some in the Dragon Blood Realm, which made his arrogance increase even more.

”What are you all yelling about? Close your mouths. This place is Dragon Martial City, where grand powers gather; how dare you make such a racket here?” the man at the Dragon God Realm Mid Stage directly shouted angrily.

As his voice fell, the group of people paused simultaneously, then abruptly turned and looked at the man.

On usual days, this man was not unused to being looked at by many people; in fact, when he had his breakthrough, he had drawn tens of thousands of spectators.

But at that moment, the gaze of these thousand people made him shiver unconsciously.

”A bunch of rogue cultivators from a place of riffraff, daring to look at me like this?”

The man was about to continue speaking when Senior Brother Zhang interrupted, ”Come here.”

The commanding intent in his voice was evident to everyone.

The crowd did not move but simultaneously turned towards the young man in white at the forefront, who possessed an aura like jade.
