An hour later, the spectator stands surrounding the small world's fighting stage were crowded with a multitude of cultivators.

Just among the young Heavenly Geniuses of the supreme realm present in the trial field, more than seventy percent had arrived!

Besides that, people from various big family sects within the Luotian Immortal Domain had almost all sent a large number of members to watch this battle.

This confrontation, which seemed to be between two major forces, invisibly enthralled countless souls. Many people wanted to use this battle as a way to decide which side to take!

The Imperial Clan of Luotian had already drawn their swords, pointing at all directions, with their army beginning to wage war with many forces.

The Zhong Family had also made their stance clear; though they hadn't yet reached the point of irreconcilable hostility with the Imperial Clan of Luotian, everyone knew that day would inevitably come.

The Luotian Immortal Domain had been at peace for endless years, with too many families and sects maintaining a neutral stance like the Jiang Family. However, the astute knew clearly that as the battlefront expanded, they would eventually be drawn in. Thus, choosing sides... had become the most important issue!

A single misstep could lead to a complete loss.

The battle might not allow them to make a definitive decision, but at the very least... it could reveal a lot.

On the spectator stands around, well-known personages could be seen everywhere. Many a regional overlord, whose name would echo resoundingly on their own turf, seemed so insignificant here.

Almost everyone from the three rankings of the trial field, whether it be heaven, earth, or people, had arrived.

Wu Fei, a somewhat gaunt young man with a cold countenance, stood there with a profound and towering presence, his eyes reflecting the rapid evolution of a vast world indicating his restless inner thoughts.

Du Chuan, a robust man in his thirties with a full beard and bright, spirited eyes, looked very clean and sat there quietly. Surrounded by over a dozen beautiful young female cultivators, one would be gravely mistaken to assume these women were ordinary.

The least among these female cultivators were all ranked at the top of the trial field's human ranking.

Hu Xiao stood there grinning ear to ear with a bizarre expression on his face. This expression had appeared frequently ever since he found out Lin Hei was Chu Mo because he had once promised "Lin Hei" a life-debt.

But damn it, the life I owe is to Lin Hei, not you, Chu Mo!

Up until now, Hu Xiao dared not disclose this matter to his family because, quite simply, his backing, the ancient Hu Family, had always maintained a neutral stance. However, the problem was that some high-ranking members of the Hu Family were on quite good terms with the Zhong Family!

Like their current section for spectating the battle, they were closer to the Zhong Family.

In this situation of taking sides, what choice should he make?

Zhang Yalu also appeared, her beautiful eyes brimming with a fighting spirit. She was very interested in such a battle and even wanted to join in. Just as Jiang Caiyue had said, many of these young Heavenly Geniuses on the Heavenly Ranking had the backing of powerful forces, all capable of surging to higher realms in a short time.

Their supporting forces would spare no expense to propel their growth because each of these individuals would become a pillar of support for their respective forces in the not-too-distant future!

However, in order to hone themselves, they all choose to continuously solidify their foundations, making their underpinning stronger. Chu Mo was not the only one practicing the approach of accumulating quietly before making a sudden move.

Ouyang Fei's relationship with Zhong Sheng was almost public knowledge. Therefore, without any hesitation, she sat within the Zhong Family's camp, her face calm, seeming not to worry at all about the upcoming battle. In her eyes, no matter how strong Chu Mo was, he couldn't possibly be a match for Zhong Sheng.

Not to mention that Zhong Sheng had unknown trump cards!

The Ouyang Family, too, was one of the ancient families within the Luotian Immortal Domain. Though there were no ancestral realm supremes among their ancestors, they did possess a few cultivators at the Great Saint Realm, and their strength was not to be underestimated. They had always been close to the Zhong Family throughout history, and now, they openly joined forces.

The Xue Family was rather interesting, choosing a spot far from both the Imperial Clan of Luotian and the Zhong Family. They presented a stance of true neutrality.

Xue Wulei also emerged within the Xue Family's camp, sitting beside Xue Wuqing, his eyes unblinkingly staring at the empty stage below, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Xue Wuqing glanced at him and softly said, "Don't think too much, there are many ways to dispel the inner demons."

"I know." Xue Wulei's voice was a bit hoarse, revealing the unrest in his heart.

Faced with this situation, Xue Wuqing could only sigh inwardly. The conflict between Xue Wulei and Chu Mo was not entirely his brother's fault; it was just bad luck, stumbling onto a tough nut to crack.

Beyond this, countless other Heavenly Geniuses from the trial field had arrived here.

There were even secret bets being placed about the fight between Chu Mo and Zhong Sheng. Chu Mo's odds were high, and few people had faith in him.

Of course, these betting pools were conducted on a small scale and in private, never made public. After all, Chu Mo's status as an in-law to the Imperial Clan of Luotian meant that if bets were openly placed on him, the Imperial Clan of Luotian would never agree.

"Chu Mo, Zhong Sheng, if you two are ready, please step onto the stage!"

As a Great Saint Realm cultivator from the Jiang Family announced with a deep, resonant voice, the fight between Chu Mo and Zhong Sheng was about to begin!

In the center of the basin was a large platform spanning several hundred miles, which was the fighting stage.

Although the fight was sure to go beyond its boundaries, both sides needed a place to make their appearance. They couldn't start fighting immediately upon arrival.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands, two figures appeared on the stage almost simultaneously.

At that moment, the Great Saint in charge of overseeing the battle from the Jiang Family spoke again: "Please, all unrelated parties, depart from within the confines of the stage immediately. Should anyone be discovered hiding within, the arrays will directly initiate and execute!"

After speaking, the Jiang Family's Great Saint paused for a moment to observe the scene, and seeing no commotion, gave the order: "Activate the arrays!"

Hum!

A hum resonated throughout Heaven and Earth.

A gigantic curtain of light rapidly rose from around the arrays, stretching into the endless void. The curtain shimmered with flowing light, looking incredibly beautiful.

Among the Zhong Family's camp, some people's expressions changed drastically on the spot, with someone sneering: "Truly neutral indeed, they even moved the strongest arrays of the Jiang Family here."

This person did not hide their disdain, and their voice carried through the area.

The Great Saint presiding over the battle for the Jiang Family remained unflustered and said: "This is real neutrality, for the sake of fairness."

"Hmph!" The person from the Zhong Family's side huffed coldly and spoke no further.

On the side of the Imperial Clan of Luotian, there was not the slightest stir, as if they disdained to join this topic. If it had been Prince Ji's temperament, he would certainly have retorted: Only the timid would raise such questioning. But he was suppressed by Ji Qi.

At a time like this, engaging in such verbal sparring was pointless.

Just then, at the entrance to the small-world arena, suddenly a burst of ceremonial music sounded.

The Heavenly Geniuses from the Seven Great Domains all looked at each other, not understanding what had happened. But almost everyone from the Immortal Domain of Luotian froze, and simultaneously... stood up subconsciously!

Even though everyone in the Zhong Family's camp wore reluctant expressions, they all stood up nonetheless and turned their gazes towards the entrance.

Some people from the Seven Great Domains were still foolishly sitting, not understanding what was happening.

At that moment, the voice of the Great Saint of the Jiang Family transmitted: "The Emperor arrives, please all rise to welcome him!"

Boom!

The surrounding stands erupted into chaos, with the cultivators from the Seven Great Domains feeling their scalps tingle and urgently standing up to look towards the entrance.

A faint figure appeared under the canopy, slowly entering the area.

The Emperor!

The Emperor of the Immortal Domain of Luotian!

The one who controls the qi movement of the entire Luotian Universe!

This is a truly supreme individual!

No matter what realm the cultivator is from, even the supreme beings must stand and salute in his presence!

This is the majesty of the Emperor of Luotian!

Particularly, the cultivators from the Seven Great Domains, at this moment, all felt a genuine impulse from the depths of their hearts, as if wanting to bow down in worship!

They were all stunned. As the young Heavenly Geniuses of the current generation, they didn't have a strong sense of awe toward either the Imperial Clan of Luotian or the Emperor. They even frequently mentioned in their casual conversations that the qi movement of the Imperial Clan of Luotian was on the verge of exhaustion.

But at this very moment, those irreverent thoughts couldn't surface at all!

This was still under the situation where the Emperor had not emitted any oppressive aura!

"This is what true legitimacy is!"

In that instant, countless young Heavenly Geniuses from the Seven Great Domains felt such a thought emerge within their hearts.

On the side of the Zhong Family, as well as those camps close to the Zhong Family, nearly everyone's complexion became extremely unsightly.

No one had imagined that the Emperor would actually arrive in person!

How can you afford to be so idle?

For a dignified Emperor to appear here, is that really appropriate? Aren't you afraid that a supreme being might suddenly come out and strike you down at this moment?

"Please, take your seats." The Emperor's voice was calm and gentle. Then, under everyone's gaze, the Emperor's canopy slowly proceeded towards the area of the Imperial Clan of Luotian.

Under the canopy, an ancient chariot was pulled by eight Immortal Beasts.

No one could clearly see the true face of the Emperor under the canopy, but even those close to the Zhong Family, at this moment, couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness deep within their hearts.

It was as if there was an endlessly vast distance between them and the Emperor!

A distance that they could never catch up to in their entire lives!

On the arena, Zhong Sheng looked at Chu Mo, his gaze filled with icy killing intent, and suddenly taunted with a smile: "Do you think now that someone's got your back, you have nothing to fear? Chu Mo, today I will tear you to pieces inch by inch! In front of the Emperor, I will utterly torment you! Not just you, even your father will receive the same treatment! Now... even if you kneel down and kowtow admitting your mistake, it's too late."

Chu Mo looked at Zhong Sheng: "Are you done?"

Zhong Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.

Chu Mo said: "If you're done, then hurry up. I want to fight your father after beating you. But don't worry, you won't feel angry. Because you won't be able to see it."
