Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Before he even arrived, Serik's hearty laughter drifted in from outside the door.

"Haha, Fei-ge, I knew you'd be looking for me! So, are you ready to go all out in this challenge? You're a recognized dark horse in the Seatless Realm right now! A lot of people think you can snatch a God Throne seat in one fell swoop!"

Last time on the circuitous star path, Ling Feng forcefully suppressed Ares, leaving that guy forever within the circuitous star path.

Although he wasn't directly killed, everyone knew that even Ares couldn't possibly survive within the circuitous star path until the next star path opened.

With Ling Feng's strength, coupled with his outstanding achievements and merits in the bottom city, he was able to achieve remarkable results.

It is almost universally acknowledged that he will be enshrined among the gods.

"Brother Serik is joking."

Ling Feng invited him to sit down in the hall, and Della immediately served him fragrant tea and then stepped aside.

Serik looked at Ling Feng with a smile and said with praise, "Brother Fei, you're the biggest dark horse! What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know!"

"We won't call it a dark horse, we'll just do our best."

Ling Feng smiled modestly, said nothing more, and immediately got to the point: "Brother Sailike, do you know the reason why this challenge was suddenly brought forward so much?"

Serik picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then his expression became slightly serious. He lowered his voice and said, "As for the reason, there are many different opinions. Some say it's to select elites in advance in order to deal with the increasingly tense situation; others say that several big shots at the top want to take this opportunity to reshuffle the deck... In short, it's definitely not simple."

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. Within the city, there was his own Chaos Temple, which had gathered a large number of believers.

Within the wasteland of the Divine World, the Zerg are stirring again.

These are all challenges to the very foundation of the Tribunal's rule.

It's no wonder that the higher-ups at the arbitration committee made some changes in response.

Of course, the most important thing is probably the so-called "moment of the end".

The order of the divine thrones will be challenged ahead of schedule, and the ranking of the gods will be re-determined.

This time, the higher-ups in the arbitration committee are likely to make some big moves.

Sure enough, Serik took a deep breath before continuing, "Brother Fei, I heard that the scope of participants has been expanded this time!"

"Oh?" Ling Feng's gaze sharpened as he stared at Serik. "What do you mean?"

Serik's expression turned serious. "I've heard that this challenge for the throne isn't just for the first-level clergy of our Silent Domain; it's said that... even some of the top experts from the Silent Guard will be participating!"

"The Silent Guards?"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened.

The Si You Guards who led the previous Si You were all first-level priests.

In fact, his strength is significantly higher than that of most of the first-level clergy in the Silent Realm.

As for Si You and Zhou Yanheng, these personal guard captains, their strength is definitely no less than that of the God Throne level.

If even they participate...

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched suddenly.

That sorcerer, Wu Zhao, is probably planning a major reshuffle!
It seems I really came at the wrong time.

But it doesn't matter!

"Ok!"

Serik nodded emphatically, his expression grave. "Those Annihilation Guards are mostly the best of the best, selected generation after generation from the Silent Domain. Each one is incredibly powerful! With them taking the field this time, many who originally had a chance to compete for a seat will probably have to accept their bad luck. Even among the top ten God Seats, apart from the top three who are unshakeable, everyone in the other seven is in danger!"

He swallowed hard, stared intently at Ling Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Fei, if you face them, you must be extra careful."

Ling Feng nodded slightly.

No wonder there hasn't been any news from Freya, Ryuzawa Riyue, or the others during this time.

It turns out that they are all under considerable pressure in this seating arrangement challenge.

Right now, they should be preparing for the battle with all their might.

He took a deep breath. It turned out that the Tribunal's true strength, which had been revealed on the surface all along, was only the tip of the iceberg.

Now, having felt the threat from the Chaos Temple and the Zerg, it has truly revealed its full power.

They really hid it well!

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Serik."

Ling Feng thanked him sincerely, "I will be careful."

"Dude, don't be so polite!"

Serik waved his hand and laughed, "But with your strength, even if you encounter those guys, you might not be without a fighting chance! Hehe, I dare not participate this time. In the past, I could get some guidance from Lord Sariel and those gentle-natured God Throne experts when I challenged them, but this time, if things go wrong, I might really lose my life!"

"It's not just me, Aisha, Lilith and the others have also given up. Within our Silent Domain, I'm afraid there won't be more than five people participating this time."

"Oh? Besides me, who else is there?"

"Fitz of the No-Seat Quiet Domain Sequence 1, Sequence 2..."

The two chatted about some details of previous competitions and the strong opponents they needed to be wary of. Unfortunately, the identity of the Silent Guards was quite mysterious, and no one could say for sure who would participate this time.

But if you want to compete for a place, you will probably inevitably encounter these people in the end.

In short, this seating arrangement challenge is likely to be several times more difficult than in the past.

"Brother Fei, the registration deadline is in two days. If you need it, I can make the trip for you."

Serik chuckled, "Anyway, I'm just sitting around doing nothing. You should seize every second, make the most of this last chance, and give it your all. Every little bit helps."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Ling Feng nodded to Serik, "Alright, Brother Fei, I'll go now. I'll let you know once I've registered. I won't bother you with your cultivation anymore."

"Brothers!"

Ling Feng personally escorted Serik out of the temple, and only after watching Serik's figure fly away into the distance did he clench his fists.

Gazing at the floating palace outside and the endless sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his gaze became deep and sharp.

The God Throne Ranking Challenge will be held in five days...

hum!

Metatron, your time has come!

It turns out that Ling Feng's target was actually the second God Throne, the God of Order, Metatron!
……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

As the first rays of divine dawn pierced through the unique clouds of the Sky City and fell upon the continuous palaces and corridors of the Silent Realm, the entire area seemed to awaken from its slumber, filled with an unusual restlessness and anticipation.

Today marks the official start of the God Throne Ranking Challenge!
Within the Silent Domain, almost all the clergy had left their residences early on, flowing towards the giant arena located in the central area of ​​Sky City like rivers flowing into the sea.

Even though the vast majority of people are not qualified to participate, and dare not even dream of the supreme throne, being able to witness this battle of the strongest, which represents the highest level of the Tribunal, is a rare and grand event in itself.

A number of figures had gathered in front of Ling Feng's Temple No. 27. First-level clergy members who were familiar with Ling Feng, such as Serik, Aisha, Lilith, and Gru, had been waiting there for a long time, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Further out are numerous second- and third-level clergy, led by An Ruosu and Hawkins.

Hawkins' round figure stood out in the crowd. He was boasting to those around him about his friendship with "Lord Longfei," as if he had contributed to Ling Feng's participation in the competition.

"Squeak-"

The temple gates slowly opened.

Ling Feng, dressed in a black outfit, walked out slowly.

His expression was calm, his gaze profound, and his aura restrained, like a peerless divine sword with its sharpness concealed.

"Lord Long Fei!"

"Brother Fei!"

"Brother Longfei!"

The crowd immediately gathered around, offering their blessings and encouragement.

"Lord Longfei! You will surely be able to seize the throne of gods in one fell swoop!"

An Ruosu's beautiful eyes shone with admiration.

Hawkins pushed his way to the front, waving his chubby fist: "Lord Longfei! Take the throne! From now on, all my trades with you will be 50% off!"

Ling Feng's gaze swept over the crowd, a faint smile appearing on his face. He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you all for coming to see me off. Long Fei will do his best and will certainly live up to your expectations."

"Come on, Fei-ge! We'll go to the stadium with you!"

Serik waved his hand with a flourish.

The group, surrounding Ling Feng, left the Silent Domain in a grand procession and joined the flow of people heading to the Central Arena.

Along the way, countless eyes were focused on Ling Feng, some curious, some scrutinizing, some in awe, and some with an undisguised desire to challenge him.

Clearly, the name "Long Fei" has become one of the most talked-about topics in this year's challenge, thanks to the events of the trip to the bottom city and the meeting with Wu Zhao.

Ling Feng remained indifferent to this, his mind as still as water, silently adjusting his own state.

Before long, a colossal arena, larger than anyone could have imagined, appeared on the horizon.

The arena was not built on the ground, but floated in the void. It was made of countless huge white divine stones, and the whole was perfectly circular. Ten huge holy pillars that reached the sky and the earth stood on the edge. The holy pillars were engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and the birth and death of all things, and they exuded an ancient and vast pressure.

Above the arena, a dazzling nebula vortex stretched out, with streams of seven-colored aurora-like energy cascading down like veils, enveloping the entire arena in a dreamlike and sacred glow.

This is the highest arena of Sky City – the "Starfall Ring".

It is also the venue for all previous God Throne Ranking Challenges!

At this moment, the circular viewing platform surrounding the Meteorite Ring was already packed with people, creating a noisy and bustling atmosphere.

Various voices of discussion, cheers, and energy fluctuations intertwined, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere.

Accompanied by Serik and others, Ling Feng entered the preparation area inside the arena through the contestant entrance.

From here, you can clearly see the entire stadium.

At the center of the arena was an extremely vast platform with a smooth, mirror-like surface and faint energy runes flowing within it, clearly indicating the presence of a very strong protective barrier.

The most eye-catching feature is the top of the ten giant holy pillars that are suspended directly above the platform!

At the top of each sacred pillar floats a throne of different shapes, yet all radiating immense power and dazzling divine light!

Those are the Ten Divine Thrones, which represent the supreme authority and power of the Judgment Council!
At the very center, the throne that appears to be formed from countless fragments of stars and flows with the brilliance of the Milky Way, is the First God Throne, the Supreme God Throne.

To its right, the pure white throne, radiating absolute order and rationality, is the second divine throne, the seat of Metatron, the god of order.

To its left is the third divine throne, the throne of fate.

The remaining thrones are the Celestial Craftsmanship Throne, the Wisdom Throne, the Battle Throne, and so on.

And so on, surrounding and protecting the supreme divine throne at the center.

The two honorary thrones symbolizing the heads of the Purdue Academy and the Northern Underworld Academy are not included here.

After all, it's just a throne of honor.

As time went by, before long, the various God-level powerhouses arrived one after another.

About half an hour later, apart from Raziel, the God of Fate who was stationed at the bottom city and unable to return, and the first divine throne in the center, the other eight divine thrones were now occupied by figures with powerful auras and awe-inspiring divine might!

Freya, Ryuzawa Riyue, and Sariel sat in their respective seats, their expressions much more solemn than usual. When they saw Ling Feng already waiting in the preparation area, they glanced at him and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Michael arrived as well. His face was still somewhat pale, and his aura did not seem to have fully recovered, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

He saw Ling Feng, grinned, clenched his fist, and made a cheering gesture.

What an honest guy...

If he knew that he was Ling Feng, the Chaos Ruler whom he hated so much, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, then looked toward the position of the second divine throne.

On the throne of Order, Metatron sat gracefully, a seemingly eternal, compassionate, and indifferent smile on his face.

His gaze occasionally swept over the contestants in the preparation area, with a condescending scrutiny.

After all, no matter how the other seven divine thrones change, the top three positions remain as stable as a mountain.

Meanwhile, dozens of powerful first-level clergy had gathered in the preparation area. Most of them had solemn expressions and sharp eyes, maintaining a wary distance from one another.

Most of them were unfamiliar faces, dressed in the uniforms of the Silent Guard.

As expected, almost all of the challengers participating this time were members of the Silent Guard.

On the contrary, only a handful of people were sent out from the Silent Domain.

Ling Feng could sense that among these Silent Guards, several possessed exceptionally deep and obscure auras, far surpassing those of ordinary first-level divine officials.

Their gazes were calm and unwavering, yet carried a chilling indifference that seemed to see right through everything.

Even the ordinary guards of the Silent Annihilation Guards kept their distance from those individuals, showing particular apprehension.

Clearly, these people are no pushovers!

Ling Feng took a deep breath, found a relatively quiet corner to stand in, then closed his eyes to rest and wait for the competition to begin.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere in the audience grew increasingly heated.

As the appointed time approached, an indescribable, immense pressure suddenly descended, instantly enveloping the entire Starfall Ring!
The noisy stadium suddenly fell silent!
All eyes involuntarily turned toward the direction of the First Divine Throne.

On the throne of stars, space distorted slightly, and a figure quietly appeared.

However, the person who appeared was not Wu Zhao, the First God Throne, but rather...

Si You! (End of Chapter)
