Xu Jiying raised his head slightly, his somewhat soulless eyes landing on the northern tower. His soulless eyes shone with a certain light.
"The five of you, enter the lounge first!
The competition this time will not be hosted by our Xulong Family, but by The King of Hell's people! "
Xu Jiying tilted his head slightly and spoke indifferently to the five behind him.
Xu Zhou frowned, rather puzzled. The previous competitions of the three great clans had always been jointly hosted by the three great clans. The King of Hell had never interfered.
After all, the share of the Divine Void Spring was the wager of the three great clans. It had nothing to do with The King of Hell.
This time, The King of Hell had suddenly interfered and changed a portion of the competition's rules without permission. Xu Zhou was very confused. He didn't know what the King of Hell was up to.
But he also knew that as the true ruler of the Void Yama Realm, The King of Hell had absolute authority.
Their Xulong Family had been developing very rapidly recently, faintly suppressing the other two great clans. They were in the limelight, but they didn't dare to go head to head with a colossus like The King of Hell. They could only obediently follow his orders.
After the Xulong Family's team entered the southern tower, the arena was already a boiling cauldron of voices. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the competition.
But they also knew that they still needed to wait for another team, and that was the team representing The King of Hell.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a golden warship to appear above Floating City. It finally landed on the northern platform of the Gladiator Arena.
The golden divine ship was clearly much more powerful than the divine ships of the three great clans. It also had the elegance and nobility of royalty. It was otherworldly.
A single figure stood on the spacious deck.
His hair was white, and he wore a luxurious robe interwoven with red and gold. He was very tall, at least two meters tall, and looked like a small giant.
But his expression was amiable, and his face was benevolent. It was a stark contrast to his enormous body.
"One of The King of Hell's Three Sovereigns, Gold Sovereign!"
When they saw this tall man who was like a little giant, many of the cultivators in the arena sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes revealed a faint look of reverence.
When Jin Yuanjun arrived at the arena, the family heads of the three great families led their contestants out of the tower and bowed in Jin Yuanjun's direction.
With Li Shuo's explanation, Zhuowen also understood that the Gold Lord held a high position in The King of Hell.
The King of Hell's highest authority was made up of one King and three Sovereigns. One King was the Virtual King of Hell, and the three Sovereigns were the Dark God Lord, the Thunder God Lord, and the Gold God Lord.
If the Three Sovereigns were separated, their power and status would not be as high as The King of Hell. However, if the Three Sovereigns were together, even the King of Hell would have to be wary of them. This showed how high the Three Sovereigns' status was in the King of Hell.
The Gold Lord smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. He smiled and said, "I am honored to be the host of this year's competition between the three clans."
"Here, I would like to thank the family heads of the three great families for your generosity. You have allowed our The King of Hell to make such a presumptuous request!
If there's anything incomplete, I hope the three Clan Heads will forgive me! "
Mei Haomiao quickly waved his hand and said, "You are too kind, Gold Lord. It is our honor to be able to contribute to The King of Hell!"
Li Yinglong and Xu Jiying also said that they did not dare.
The corners of Jinyao Lord's mouth curled up slightly and he continued, "Family Heads, according to the agreement between you and the king, the martial arts portion of the competition will be decided by the three families. However, the martial arts portion will be arranged by us!"
"As for the martial arts and martial arts battles, the three of you will decide!
The King of Hell has never forced anyone to do something against their will. "
The three family heads looked at each other. Without any discussion, they said in unison, "Naturally, the martial arts battle will begin!"
The Gold Lord's smile grew wider. He no longer pretended to be modest and said hypocritically, "Since the three family heads have said so, it would be impolite of me to decline!"
With that, the Gold Lord jumped down from the high tower in the north. His entire body emitted a sharp and dazzling golden light as he landed in the middle of the arena.
When everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Gold Lord, the latter unhurriedly took out a stone slab from his sleeve.
This stone slab was irregular and square in shape. It was about a foot long and wide. There were many strange scratches on the surface of the stone slab, as if it had been made by many different sharp weapons.
However, although these scratches were strange and irregular, they covered the surface of the stone slab and gave people an unfathomable feeling of harmony.
It was as if the scratches on the stone slab were combined to form some kind of inseparable pattern.
Zhuowen's eyes fell on the stone slab in the Gold Lord's hand. In an instant, he found that the strange scratches on the surface of the stone slab were wriggling and twisting, forming some kind of pattern in the center of the stone slab.
When Zhuo Wen wanted to take a closer look at the pattern formed by the many scratches, his vision suddenly turned black, causing him to involuntarily shift his gaze.
When he looked back at the stone slab, he found that the scratches on the surface of the stone slab were still scattered everywhere. They had not gathered together to form some kind of pattern.
"Was that an illusion?
Or is there some kind of power in this stone slab that is interfering with me? "
Zhuowen frowned. There was a hint of fear and caution in his eyes. The stone slab that the Gold Lord had taken out was not simple.
"This is … a fragment of the Primordial Slate?"
Li Yinglong, who was standing in front of Zhuowen, could no longer remain calm when he saw the stone slab in the Gold Lord's hand. His body trembled and he could not help but mumble to himself.
Li Ying, Li Zi, and the other three were also shocked. It was as if they had been stunned by some kind of miracle.
On the other side, the people from the Xulong and Xuli families were also very expressive.
"A fragment of the Primordial Slate?"
Zhuo Wen revealed a puzzled expression. This was the first time he had heard of the so-called Primordial Slate. However, from the word 'Primordial', it was very likely that the so-called Primordial Slate was related to the Primordial Star System.
He had wanted to secretly ask Li Shuo about the Primordial Slate. However, Li Shuo's attention was completely attracted by the fragment in the Gold Lord's hand. Therefore, he dismissed the idea.
His gaze fell on the Gold Lord in the center of the arena. He knew that the latter had taken out the fragment of the Primordial Slate. Naturally, there would be a certain explanation.
"Gold Lord, you intend to use this fragment of the Primordial Slate as the content of the Wen Battle?"
Xu Jiying's pale face showed a hint of contemplation. He regained his composure and asked in a low voice.
"Yes!
This is also the king's decision!
There is an abandoned space within the Primordial Slate. Although it is called a space, it is more like an abandoned maze! "
"This maze is mysterious and strange. It is as if there is no solution!
Even the great king has not solved all the levels of the maze. I want to use this as the content of the Wen Battle. You won't object, right? "
The Gold Lord smiled faintly.
The three family patriarchs looked at each other. Since the Gold Lord had said so, how could they object?
However, they were full of doubts. The Primordial Slate was the highest taboo in the Imperial Court. It was kept in the most secretive place in the Imperial Court.
Why would Xu Yama use it as part of the Wen Battle?
Could there be a deeper meaning?
