?


    Cain, Kali, and Luo Na''s hands subconsciously moved. They simply pointed in some random direction.


    This easy movement spurred out an unfathomable wave of cosmic force. A wave of cosmic force thatpletely overpower the three arcs of spaceets!


    There were far moreplex cosmic principles within the trio''s cosmic force than what was guiding the three spaceets.


    The threeets could not resist. They were pulled away from the trio, soaring far into the vastness of space.


    Cain, Kali, and Luo Na''s bodies didn''t even twitch. They fell even deeper into a divine trance.


    ...


    Time flow on like a river. Without anyrge-scale events or disturbing news, the days rapidly flew by.


    The only particr thing worth of notice for those in Emperor Hian and Kui''s factions was the fact that there were far fewer appearances of those in Emperor Guo''s faction.


    And those had appeared seemed more reclusive and slightly haggard, as if some amount of stress was piling on them.


    The other two factions didn''t think much of it since there was no major news swirling around besides some rumors.


    In the end, the other factions were focusing on themselves and what they gained from Dao Gathering Event.


    Months passed until a full year came since the trio enter the Cosmic Death Realm.


    On this particr day, a roaring excitement was filling the entire atmosphere of the Lightning Destruction sect.


    Many disciples were absolutely ecstatic. These lower geniuses, Kings and Emperor Grandmaster were overflowing with immense determination. They were treating this day with all of their focus.


    Inside Empress Kui''s faction, these normally calmer geniuses were gearing up for this days fights.


    One group of geniuses, consisting of three maidens and one young man were eagerly speaking with each other.


    The young man was polishing his divine sword, saying, "This evaluation will be different! I''m sure we all fully digested everything from the Dao Gathering Event. This time, the Supreme Elders and ancestors will spare more resources on us."


    One of the maidens softly giggled. "Naturally. Our majesty needs all the help she can get. The Qualifying inheritancepetition will be extremely rough this year. And I don''t want anyone else to win but our majesty."


    "We''re all so tense...we need to calm down a bit!" One of the other maidens brightly smiled. "Our majesty always tells us to face everything with a calm and practical view. Losing or winning does not matter. What matter is perfecting our Dao from the matches today."


    Those words couldn''t be denied by anyone in the group. If they all be too obsessed with one thing, they will lose their vision.


    They all tempered their nerves while also staying eager for the battles ahead.


    At this time, within Empress Kui''s personal chambers. The unfathomable Empress Kui was meditating in a lotus position. Not a single ripple was in her mind from this day.


    By her side, her close King Grandmaster, King Yui could not retain that same calm. Concern was evident in her tone as she said, "Over year and they''re still not out? They''re for sure not dead. But...could something else possibly happen to them?"


    Empress Kui slowly opened her eyes, mystical lights of the Great Dao rippling out of her pupil. She briefly stuns King Yui with that little action.


    Evidently, her cultivation made some improvement this year.


    A faint smile curled Empress Kui''s lips. "There''s no reason to be so tense. I have a good feeling about today. Those three should be at a critical point of their cultivation, if not already past that point."


    "Critical point?" King Yui quietly murmurs. She shivered at the thought. "A year in that realm...I can only wonder just how far they will go. So, I''m assuming we''ll just need to stall until theye. Since I have a feeling they will just end up stealing the show. Maybe they''ll challenge the other Supreme Emperors."


    "Maybe...well then. Let''s get going." Empress Kui and King Yui took a divine step through the void space.


    They and many others flew toward the Dao Coliseum.


    ...


    The time it took to organize the entire evaluation event took a small bit.


    Thousands of genius disciples were participating, causing the anticipation and tension in the coliseum to reach its absolute peak.


    This event allowed everyone to gather in thergest audience stand with thergest martial stage.


    The martial arena was also located high above the others, exuding a sensation that it fit to stay above all others, where only the true talents can fight.


    The three factions were all separated into their own sides. With the three Supreme Emperors majestically floating at the top of their factions.


    At this time above them all, several unfathomable existences had gathered.


    There are three of them. Each of them invincible legends with the power to shatter the skies, crack apart greats and cause all stars in space to lose their luster.


    Even Primal Soverigen great genius would kneel down in utter reverence over these three figures.


    One of them was a majestic woman of the heavens. The smile gleaming on her beautiful lips suppressed everything, suppressed even the most vicious of Daows. Other immortals would bow down to her.


    She was Supreme Elder Suo who banner Empress Kui''s faction.


    Next to her was an immortal man of the heavens. He too held a confident smile that controlled the nine worlds and heavens. Devils wouldn''t dare to offend him.


    He was Supreme Elder Yian, the one who banner Emperor Guo''s faction.


    And next to him was another emperor of the heavens. His fierce gaze could frighten all other high existence across the universe. He can kill anything he so wishes.


    This was Supreme Elder Lian, the one who banner Emperor Hian''s faction.


    Nothing much would be able to move these supreme elders under normal times. But this evaluation event was something that nobody wanted to miss.


    Supreme Elder Yian''s worldly gaze scans all throughout the Dao Colisuem. His smile never left his face as he said, "Well then. I''ve been searching for tha trio, but they''re still nowhere to be seen. Rumors have been going around, you know. Perhaps something truly did happen to the trio while in the realm. They haven''t been spotted in a year."


    Naturally, Cain''s group was on the Supreme Elders'' minds. Even more so since theirst spotting was in the Cosmic Death Realm.


    Nobody would question long cultivation seclusion. But that would''ve been the case if the trio did not go into a realm where heavy injury, even death was highly possible.


    Supreme Elder Yian certainly wants their sect to grow. But he simrly did not want his rival to experience any growth that would put her above him. The envy and jealousy in his soul were quite thick.


    The usations couldn''t even make Supreme Elder Suo blink, however. Her smile only grew more brilliant. "If that little brat of yours failed to injure them in a sneak attack, a genius with powers above all other grandmasters, do you truly think they will fall in that realm? Also, you speak as if without those three, my faction will be in a dire situation. Do you hold such little opinion of Empress Kui?"


    Though she was smiling, there was a tense, cold edge to Elder Suo''s tone. She still wished for the situation with Emperor Guo was handled a bit differently than what currently happened.


    Supreme Elder Yian furrowed his brows. He didn''t even want to think about that incident anymore.


    The tension between the Supreme Elders was not subtle at all.


    And it was at this time that the other Supreme Elder spoke up.


    "Little opinion?" Supreme Elder Lian coldlyughed. "It''s not that. But rather, I''m afraid your faction nor will Guo''s faction won''t be able to stand up to Hian''s. The difference between the younger ones is growing greater and greater. Just look at the current duel about toe."


    There was no break in Supreme Elder Suo''s confidence. But she did curiously watch the martial stage.


    It was at this time that the first bout of duels has been selected. The King Grandmasters would always go first.


    From Emperor Han''s faction, a dazzling gray light shed onto the martial stage.


    The divine man that appeared suppressed the world itself. His very breath radiated a pure destructive might. If he just released a sliver of his Dao aura, any mortal would experience a hellish might.


    He was King Tuo.


    From another side, a blue divine light soared out of Empress Kui''s faction and appeared on the martial stage.


    This divine man was quite different from others. His presence was deathly calm, a sheathed storm of power destructive might waiting to erupt. When erupting, his destructive power would shatter everything around him to utter ashes.


    He was King Jao.


    The two King Grandmasters calmly matched each other gazes. Wild discussions of who would win stormed through the martial arena.


    But none of that noise affected the King Grandmasters.


    King Tuo causally looked his foe over. He didn''t look impressed or unimpressed. Only pure indifference filled his face.


    He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. "This won''t take long. As my emperor requested, I''ll thoroughly crush you with ease."
