The death of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was a huge matter for the Mysterious Underworld Race. However, the Human Race didn’t pay too much attention to it.
The reason was that most people were already paying attention to the battle for the position of the Human Ruler.
It was a straight path to the heavens!
Everyone, regardless of whether they were from the 36 Great Cosmoses or Tianding Realm, would find that this path to greatness that was made of ancient huge bluestone appeared within a single, separate space.
This space was unique, so most martialists couldn’t discover it. However, as long as one was from the Human Race, they could view this pathway from all angles.


Unfortunately, martialists from other races wouldn’t be able to see this pathway of bluestone even if they stood in the same position as a Human Race martialist.
On the day that this path appeared, a majestic, godly voice reverberated throughout the 36 Great Cosmoses, thousands of ordinary cosmoses, and countless voids of the Human Race.
After three days, the person who ascended to the top of this path would become the Human Ruler.
This saying was as imposing and irresistible as the decree of heaven and earth.
When this pathway appeared, the five sacred halls of the Human Race fell silent. In their opinion, Luo Yunyang still had a chance if this trial took place stage by stage and used secret realms or other checkpoints to test candidates for the position of the Human Ruler.
However, this method basically completely demolished any hope of Luo Yunyang becoming the Human Ruler.
After all, such a pathway to heaven might seem fair, but the only person from the 36 Great Cosmoses who was participating in the contest for the position of the Human Ruler was Luo Yunyang.
On the other hand, Tianding Realm had 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates. If just half of them ganged up to cause Luo Yunyang trouble, it would be basically more than enough to destroy all hope of Luo Yunyang prevailing.
However, this unparalleled pathway had already appeared and the five sacred halls knew that nothing could be changed under the circumstances.
In Tianding Realm, a gathering was underway. Long Fantian sat in the center of this congregation. Around him were the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates that would be participating in the upcoming contest.


Although Long Fantian was a disciple of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, his prestige wasn’t enough to inhibit these 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates.
After all, anyone that could become a Taichu Yuan Venerate was extremely capable. Asking them to be completely subservient to Long Fantian was basically impossible.
However, at this gathering, nobody dared provoke Long Fantian, as six figures were seated behind him.
Six half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates.
These Taichi Yuan Venerates were largely disciples or juniors of half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates like Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky. Their presence there made all the Taichu Yuan Venerates afraid to even make a sound.
Furthermore, even though most of them weren’t very convinced by Long Fantian, Long Fantian was still the top entity amongst all the Taichu Yuan Venerates.
Most of them weren’t a match for Long Fantian.

I have said this previously. Before the contest for the position of the Human Ruler starts, you must all be united.
Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky, who represented the six half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerates, spoke.
Now, I want to emphasize these words again.


The Human Ruler’s position shall be Junior Brother Longtian’s!


If anyone isn’t convinced, they can say so now. However, during the battle for the position of the Human Ruler, if anyone dares disobey our orders, don’t blame us if you receive heavy punishment.



Heavy punishment… Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky had said this with extreme seriousness. A wave of powerful deterring pressure spread out in all directions from him.
Practically all the Taichu Yuan Venerates bowed respectfully under this pressure.
Disciples like us wouldn’t dare!

Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky smiled slightly when he saw the circumstances. He didn’t continue, as he had already done what he wanted to do.

Junior Brother, you should speak.
The junior brother Yuan Venerate Flowing Sky was talking about was naturally Long Fantian.
Long Fantian said slowly,
My various senior brothers consider this battle for the position of the Human Ruler very important. I will thus assume the responsibility and burden of being the Human Ruler no matter what.


When I am the Human Ruler, everyone’s interests won’t be harmed. Instead, they will further improve substantially. Although the mortal realm of the 36 Great Cosmoses is way inferior compared to Tianding Realm in terms of spiritual energy, it is still more than suitable to offer tributes to Tianding Realm.


I can seriously promise right now that everyone present will get a cosmos as their own individual domain.

An ordinary cosmos naturally seemed way inferior compared to the 36 Great Cosmoses. However, the Taichu Yuan Venerates present also understood that the 36 Great Cosmoses would be the exclusive property of the six patriarchs and their clans. They wouldn’t get a share, neither did they dare ask for a share.
However, if a cosmos became their own private domain, that wouldn’t be too bad either.
This treatment was still rather favorable. Thus, after exchanging some glances, practically everyone expressed their satisfaction with Long Fantian’s arrangement.


Long Fantian said calmly,
When Tianding Realm was established, it was determined that it would surpass the 36 Great Cosmoses by far.


This was already fated when the Divine Ancestor established Tianding Realm. Now, some people in the 36 Great Cosmoses follow the mandates of heaven and the wishes of people instead of serving Tianding Realm. They even have futile thoughts of opposing us.


They are so shallow that they are actually thinking of vying for the position of the Human Ruler against us!


Even though this is funny, it is also a chance. A chance for Tianding Realm to impose awe and instill its dominance and superiority into the hearts of those lowly people.


Not everyone can see this path to becoming the Human Ruler. Therefore, we should use this chance to crush Luo Yunyang beneath our feet.


We’ll instill the unforgettable message that everyone has their own fate. Tianding Realm’s Heavenly Humans aren’t something ordinary mortals can go against!

Long Fantian’s eloquence and charisma had always been decent. However, this extremely stirring speech won the hearts of most Tianding Realm martialists!
The Tianding Realm martialists that had been exterminated by the five sacred halls had mostly been juniors or subordinates of these people.
Even though their fates weren’t significant to these Taichu Yuan Venerates, every action had consequences. These Taichu Yuan Venerates couldn’t just let such things slide, as this was a matter of reputation.

Uncle-Master is right, since the Divine Ancestor has fashioned such a great opportunity, we mustn’t let it go to waste no matter what.



A tall, red-faced Taichu Yuan Venerate responded in a clear, resounding voice.
This time, besides intimidating the mortals of the 36 Great Cosmoses greatly, we also have to show them how great the disparity is between us.


Luo Yunyang is a tool that we have to use properly. We can’t let him fail too quickly.


Brother Ximen is right. He’s such a good tool to make a statement that we mustn’t use him up so easily. We have to make sure we use him more.


Of course, in the end, we will have to let the people in the 36 Great Cosmoses know that anyone who dares harbor dreams of assuming the role of the Human Ruler will die!

Long Fantian didn’t say anything else. He had already done all that needed to be done. Next, he would reap the harvest.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
There was basically no way to enter that path, so the Da Qian Master and all the other martialists of the five sacred halls were all waiting in Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
A resounding bell chimed, reverberating throughout all corners of the 36 Great Cosmoses.
Practically the entire Human Race understood clearly what this bell meant.
The bell would chime a total of 81 times. Anyone wishing to vie for the position of the Human Ruler had to step on that massive bluestone path to the heavens before the last chime echoed.
The first 49 chimes echoed, but nobody stepped on that path!
The first 64 chimes echoed, but nobody stepped on that path!
The first 72 chimes echoed, but still not a single person stepped foot on that path.
In Hong Meng Sacred Hall, the palace where Luo Yunyang was undergoing seclusion still didn’t open even after the 72nd chime echoed.
Although the Da Qian Master and the others were all experienced people, they still felt like their hearts were being squeezed when they still saw no signs of activity from Luo Yunyang.
After all, the first person to step on that large path would have a bit more time than the others. Since there still wasn’t any movement from Luo Yunyang, it would be difficult for him to put a gap between him and the 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates of Tianding Realm later on. Perhaps he might even be surrounded by those Taichu Yuan Venerates right away.
This wasn’t good!
As the Da Qian Master was frowning, he saw 36 figures land on the bluestone path at the same time.
The way these people appeared in the sky before their feet gracefully touched the ground seemed very ordinary. However, they had actually broken a layer of space-time barriers in the process.
This group of 36 was laughing merrily when it landed and walked up the bluestone path.
When the first 36 people climbed the first step, the bell chimed again. Yet 36 more people descended and landed on the second step.
With every chime that followed, twenty to thirty figures landed in sync. In no time, these people had already occupied the first ten steps of this pathway to the heavens.
300 Yuan Venerates!
Plus, these were 300 Taichu Yuan Venerates!
Although they didn’t wantonly show off their cultivation, the aura of a Taichu Yuan Venerate would intimidate anyone who saw them.
Some humans of the 36 Great Cosmoses still harbored some hope at the beginning. However, they now found their line of thinking childish and laughable when they saw so many Yuan Venerates.
That’s right, childish.
How could Luo Yunyang possibly become the Human Ruler under the circumstances?
Some people already thought that they would long have given up if they’d found themselves in the same situation as Luo Yunyang.
Meanwhile, the last chime started to reverberate throughout the void!
