Immortal of the Ages

"The rankings are out!"

Amid a chorus of eager voices, 18 radiant, multicolored leaderboards gradually materialized over the Million Starlight Sky Screen.

On the side of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, it was naturally the Heavenly Deity Rankings.

This ranking listed 555 positions, with the most eye-catching being the top ten—and especially the very pinnacle.

Though the Grand Assembly Arena battle had just begun and the rankings were bound to fluctuate, most forces that could pull ahead at the outset surely possessed extraordinary qualities, likely widening the gap and laughing till the end.

At this moment, the forces belonging to the Heavenly Deity Stellar River—both the participants, along with the spectators in the Million Starlight Palace—cast their fiery gazes upon the luminous rankings.

At the very top, one name shone brighter than all others.

"Southern Divine Dragon Star's Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons!"

"They've already conquered 12 Taiyi Sourcecores, amassing a total power value of 13!"

The Southern Divine Dragon was the name of their home world, and the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons were the young warriors of the Dragon Devil Clan, who had chosen this name for their faction.

Now, the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons had seized 12 territories, standing proudly above all rivals in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River.

In the previous Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects, these geniuses of the Dragon Devil Clan had also topped the rankings without the backing of the Heavenly Deity Alliance. However, seeing them reach the pinnacle once more still stirred the hearts of the spectators.

They seemed to witness the birth of a super celestial sect amid the contending heroes of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

Within the Grand Assembly Arena, the young talents of the Dragon Devil Clan—strong in numbers and winning over allies—made everyone see hope for a title defense.

Compared to the geniuses of the Heavenly Deity Alliance, they had a very distinctive trait.

The geniuses of the Heavenly Deity Alliance all bore arrogance, priding themselves on their status, and rarely allied with non-Heavenly Deity Alliance sects.

In contrast, the Southern Divine Dragon Realm welcomed these medium and large celestial sects, positioning themselves as the leading force.

These gifted, numerous, and charismatic Dragon Devil Clan geniuses had amazed the Million Starlight Palace right off the bat. They easily overshadowed the sects of the Heavenly Deity Alliance.

The spectators in the Million Starlight Palace saw everything clearly. But those within the Grand Assembly Arena were slow to realize the expansion of the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons. Outsiders watched anxiously but could do nothing.

It had to be noted that this significant advantage of the Dragon Devil Clan was established even as the Young Dragon Lord focused on annihilating the Extreme Yin Star.

The Young Dragon Lord himself hadn't even participated in the sieges and territorial conquests. Otherwise, being natural war fanatics, the Dragon Devil Clan would have been even more unstoppable than in the last Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects.

Of course, people also unsurprisingly saw the Harmony Divine Palace at the front of the rankings.

"Extreme Yin Star—Carefree Windy Clouds."

Currently, Carefree Windy Clouds held a power value of four, tying for ninth place on the rankings. That matched the standards of the Heavenly Deity Alliance. Ꞧ�

At this moment, among the top ten, the only non-Heavenly Deity Alliance faction was the rank one Southern Divine Dragon Star—Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons!

"Ninth?"

Within the Grand Assembly Arena, in the starry expanse, a group of prodigies looked up, their gazes locking onto the ninth rank Extreme Yin Star—Carefree Windy Clouds. Their expressions were somewhat peculiar.

These assembled geniuses differed in attire, bearing, and even race. At a glance, it was clear they hailed from many different celestial sects, gathered together. There were 300 of them altogether.

Martial Immortals, Sword Immortals, Inscription Immortals, and even Anima Immortals were present. There were also demons, devils, and various other unique life-forms.

Each of these geniuses exuded profound auras and spirited vigor. Their eyes carried an innate arrogance born from deep heritage. They were the dragons among men from various celestial worlds—the legends of their generation.

Today, they had come together for a common mission.

"So, the flying talisman messages from the Blazing Yang Star, Thunder Punisher Star, and Wind Pool Star were true. That celestial slave named Yun Xiao actually wiped out their three sects," the most striking figure among them said.

He was a young man in golden robes with dragon horns, standing ten feet tall—as high as a tavern floor. He possessed an innate imperial majesty; his golden eyes blazed brilliantly. Unmoving like a mountain, he commanded awe without anger, his aura fierce, earning respect from all.

The name of the Young Dragon Lord was renowned like thunder in their ears.

"Those three sects were ranked within the top 30 in the last assembly. I thought they were formidable, but they turned out to be worthless. Not only could they not accomplish the simplest task of encirclement, but they even let a eunuch seize their Parent Flags," Shen Nanyin said. She clung to the Young Dragon Lord's arm, her beautiful eyes full of disdain and exasperation.

Among the 300 geniuses present, only the towering Young Dragon Lord could make her nine-foot-tall figure appear dainty, like a bird leaning close; the others couldn't suppress her at all.

Clad in a platinum battle dress, Shen Nanyin's golden hair curled and flowed. Her pair of golden dragon horns shone brilliantly. With a slender waist and shapely legs, her proud face featured a high nose and a full, rounded visage.

Her eyes were haughty, naturally carrying a disdainful expression toward anyone. She was truly like a noble golden dragoness, making all the men and women present feel ashamed and insignificant.

Bringing such a stunning wife into the public eye didn't embarrass the Young Dragon Lord at all. Instead, it had an effect the Young Dragon Lord hadn't anticipated.

On one hand, it elevated his prestige; on the other, many outsiders in the Million Starlight Palace, who hadn't witnessed the misogyny of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm firsthand, now saw the Young Dragon Lord and Shen Nanyin as a golden couple, deeply in love. Naturally, their impressions changed dramatically.

However, when Shen Nanyin arrogantly scorned the three sects, the Young Dragon Lord coolly retorted, "Yang Yang and Lei Ting are Mid Fourth Baptism Realm cultivators; their combat prowess isn't lacking. That celestial slave's ability to defeat them shows that the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm's trump cards are indeed formidable. Lei Ting and the others must have given their all."

His words undoubtedly earned him goodwill and revealed his magnanimity.

Many of the geniuses present considered themselves no better than Yang Yang and Lei Ting. Shen Nanyin's mockery of the three sects was akin to belittling them all. Fortunately, the Young Dragon Lord, with his keen social sense, smoothed things over.

For a moment, these newly recruited allies all cast respectful glances toward the Young Dragon Lord.

"You're right!" Shen Nanyin wasn't slow to catch on. Realizing her misstep, she gave an awkward smile and said, "Though he's just a celestial slave, who knows what unspeakable methods those Three Divas used to cultivate him? Perhaps that celestial slave has been fed forbidden substances and turned into a sinister monster. When we encounter him, we should all be cautious."

Her quick recovery made the group of geniuses feel a bit closer to her as they saw her slightly restrain her arrogance.

"Lady Dragon Consort speaks truly," someone agreed.

In the crowd, a clean-cut youth dressed in white smiled and said, "I also think that celestial slave must have been altered internally; perhaps he's already become a Gu worm in human form."

"Then, when the time comes, the geniuses from your Gu God Star can showcase their talents," Shen Nanyin replied with a smile.

"Denouncing the Harmony Divine Palace and restoring peace to the hundreds of millions of celestial slaves… we await the arrangements of the Young Dragon Lord and Lady Dragon Consort," a white-clad woman beside the youth said.

She was slightly older than the young man, her white robes immaculate. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her face was gentle and lovely. Though she lacked the fiery allure of the Lady Dragon Consort, she possessed an elegant and serene beauty, like a white blossom—pure and natural, drawing every eye.

Her name was Bai Lu. Together with her younger brother Bai Ao, they were geniuses from the Gu God Star and children of the sect master. Among the prodigies in the Grand Assembly Arena, they enjoyed a respectable reputation.

When Bai Lu spoke of denouncing the Harmony Divine Palace, it was precisely why so many had gathered here. It was to attack the Extreme Yin Star!

Seeing more and more people arriving in response to his flying talisman summons, the Young Dragon Lord felt deeply satisfied.
