The King of Black Fog
Chapter 1238 - 553: Battle for Entry into the City
Outside the first Holy City, slaughter was overwhelming.
The combatants struck at one another.
There was no grudge between the two sides; the opponent might be the benevolent lord protecting one side, or the pillar of a nation, a race, or a family, yet all were engaged in battles of life and death.
Regardless of identity, indifferent to right and wrong, here, nobility or baseness of morality did not matter, only battle intent and combat power!
"Father! Mother!"
"Ancestor!"
"Child!"
One person after another died, with grieving howls emitted from every corner of the universe, as their closest friends and family were slain.
Countless people lamented: "Previously, I thought value games that assessed insight and ruling methods to determine the victor were unfair, only now realizing how perilous it is to contest combat power."
"They will all die; run quickly, Immortals, Earth Immortals, don't remain!"
After initial probing, Earth Immortals would not seek to confront Immortals, nor would Heavenly Immortals seek Earth Immortals.
Just like True Dragons crushing ordinary Heavenly Positions, yet not entering the Holy City, only when facing combatants of similar levels can true battle intent erupt.
However, the aftermath of conflicts between Heavenly Immortals was terrifying.
Especially when Heavenly Will was invoked, and Heavenly Might unleashed, any Earth Immortal or Immortal touched would die, like the embers of fireworks, vanishing in swathes.
Clang!
A sword hummed.
"Kill!"
A soft whisper.
'Always Invincible,' wielding the Supreme Immortal Sword, was invincible among the starry sea.
At this moment, never mind Immortals or Earth Immortals, even Heavenly Immortals dared not approach the sword's light.
Boom!
A skull as large as a planet spewed out a small skull, colliding with the sword's glow.
The Guiding Divine Light descended again, causing both to disappear simultaneously.
"The Corpse Bone Gene entered!"
"Always Invincible also entered!"
"Kill! There are only twelve Saint Positions, one step ahead, every step ahead, we must not lose the opportunity! Kill kill kill!"
The crowd went mad.
Soon, the Guiding Divine Light descended in clusters.
Someone discovered that peerless powerhouses could not necessarily enter the city first; without a heart to protect oneself, lacking death-defying battle intent, an Immortal might gain recognition before the strong.
Discovering this situation, many Immortals, Earth Immortals, and all spirit species, originally fleeing into the distance to leave, began fighting.
They attacked one another, and under the pressure of death and unwillingness, unprecedented battle intent erupted, quickly earning them recognition to enter the city.
Li Qianxia, Yang Qinglan, and Turquoise Pool stood together.
As all combatants went mad with killing, naturally someone sought to trouble them, but they completely underestimated their strength.
Some Heavenly Positions were brushed aside by them; if they struck to kill, those people could not escape.
"They are peerless experts, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Positions!"
"They look familiar, who are they?"
"That person—" Someone saw Yang Qinglan, recognizing her, "is Yang Qinglan on the Universe Domains Goddess List!"
"Yang Qinglan? Isn't she the King of Black Fog's wife?!"
"So it's them!" many realized.
"Both are wives and a sister to the King of Black Fog!"
"I attended the King of Black Fog's wedding; both of his wives are on the Goddess List, and his sister is also exceptionally beautiful."
In recent years, across countless cosmic civilizations, they were no longer isolated, contacting one another.
With different civilizations colliding, coupled with the trend of value games, mutual challenges naturally arose, and various rankings emerged.
The Strongest List, Goddess List, Heavenly List, Spirit List, Mortal List, Weapon List, etc., etc.
The most attention is naturally on the 'Strongest List.'
The Strongest List does not divide by age, race, or power system, only by strength.
But it's also the most controversial list, not because those on it are suspect, but because without an actual contest, who can convince whom?
There are skills and equipment for directly measuring combat power values, but this does not prove much either.
Values are just values; for some, 1 is 1, and 2 is 2, but others can use 1 to achieve the power of 3.
The Goddess List mentioned by everyone ranks only women.
Initially, it was also based on strength, but later on, due to the difficulty in defining strength, it was simply turned into a beauty contest.
Yang Qinglan and Turquoise Pool were unknown, not making the list initially, until a few years ago, at their wedding at the Divine Will Great Wall, they instantly displaced two daughters of heaven to enter the ranking.
And beauty, upon reaching a certain level, varies in charm; even a vote across the cosmos can only indicate that this type of beauty is more in line with popular aesthetics, but cannot show that one beauty is superior to another.
Thus, the Goddess List has ranks, but holds little meaning.
Among the ten goddesses on the list, regardless of who, if ranked first, there were disbelievers, and the same for the tenth.
Yet Yang Qinglan and Turquoise Pool, mostly recognized, can at least rank in the top five, regardless of how they are compared.
"Quick, there's a Goddess from the Goddess List!"
Many streamers moved quickly upon hearing this, rushing over.
The most attention is naturally drawn to the True Dragon, King of Black Fog, Corpse Bone Gene, and other peerless powerhouses, yet not only had most of these forces already entered the first Holy City, but even if they hadn't, they dared not livestream up close.
Battles among the mighty are not for the ordinary to witness!
Once affected, Heavenly Position experts would explode!
Aside from the strong, the most attention is naturally on the goddesses, thus every goddess had numerous streamers nearby.
"Why does Turquoise Pool have a faceplate on her battle armor!!!"
"But her figure is still great!"
"Yang Qinglan is the most beautiful! Her temperament is the most remarkable too!"
"The King of Black Fog's sister looks quite good too; I think she could make the list!"
"She has indeed become more beautiful over these years!"
Some were heartbroken over the death of relatives, while naturally, there were onlookers enjoying the spectacle.
Actually, there were more of the latter, after all, having an Immortal, Earth Immortal, or Heavenly Immortal as a close friend or family was ultimately rare.
