Chapter 1178: Lingtian Divine King!

"This is too absurd, has Ji Qingyun really become one of the Ten Great Divine Kings? And ranked sixth at that!"

"What is the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion doing? After brewing for two thousand years, they come up with this piece of junk?"

"Just for destroying a has-been sect, he can enter the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings? Since when have the Ten Great Divine Kings become so worthless?"

"Ji Qingyun is indeed strong, but if you say he can be ranked sixth, I absolutely refuse to accept it!"

The new list of the Ten Great Divine Kings was finally released, but it sparked huge controversy.

The previous Ten Great Divine Kings were, in order: Dingtian Divine King Zhuge Qingxuan, Lingzhe Divine King Teng Yun, Dayan Divine King Lu Linfeng, Hunwu Divine King Zhong Ziqi, Hei'an Divine King Sikong Shang, Tianshu Divine King Song Qiuyu, Yixian Divine King Li Tianyang, Xuanfeng Divine King Weng Yifan, Wuju Divine King Yi Xing, and Tieqiang Divine King Wang Huanzhou.

These Ten Great Divine Kings had always been regarded as the strongest of humanity!

Over two thousand years, this belief had become deeply ingrained.

The world could hardly accept any one of them being replaced.

But in the new list of the Ten Great Divine Kings, while the top five remained as solid as a mountain, the bottom five had undergone significant changes.

This result was questioned!

The new Ten Great Divine Kings: sixth, Lingtian Divine King Ye Yuan; seventh, Tianshu Divine King Song Qiuyu; eighth, Wuju Divine King Yi Xing; ninth, Xuanfeng Divine King Weng Yifan; tenth, Ziji Divine King Duan Zhengxiao!

Two of the Ten Great Divine Kings had been squeezed out!

When the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion announced a newcomer, everyone thought it would be just one person.

No one expected that two would be replaced at once!

If Ziji Divine King Duan Zhengxiao had entered as the tenth divine king, everyone could accept it.

But Ye Yuan jumping straight to the sixth divine king was something no one could accept no matter what.

Moreover, Ye Yuan's title was quite different from the others.

The title 'Lingtian' was even more domineering than 'Dingtian'!

This title was not given casually.

The titles of the Ten Great Divine Kings either reflected their area of expertise, the inheritance they received, or... their overall strength was extremely formidable!

The Dingtian Divine King's title was because his overall strength was extremely formidable.

But Ye Yuan's title 'Lingtian' truly left people baffled.

And his ranking actually surpassed Tianshu Divine King, which made people even more unable to understand.

Of course, besides Ye Yuan, the sudden rise of Ziji Divine King Duan Zhengxiao also made everyone very curious.

Before this, no one had ever heard of such a figure.

But since he could squeeze out Yixian Divine King and Tieqiang Divine King, his strength must not be underestimated.

As for Wuju Divine King, his strength seemed to have made a considerable breakthrough, actually surpassing Xuanfeng Divine King to become the eighth divine king.

At this moment, in the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion of the Holy City, a distinguished guest arrived—Dingtian Divine King Zhuge Qingxuan!

Through a black curtain, Dingtian Divine King said to the person inside, "Was this pavilion's release of the Ten Great Divine Kings this time ill-considered? That Ye Yuan, I have crossed hands with him; he is nothing but a low-grade character! With him, can he enter the Ten Great Divine Kings?"

Although Dingtian Divine King's tone was somewhat angry, he still remained restrained.

He knew that the mysterious strongman behind the black curtain was someone even he could not fathom.

In this Holy City, Zhuge Qingxuan could be said to have everything under control.

Only this Celestial Mechanism Pavilion was a thorn in his heart.

Speaking of more than two thousand years ago, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion's establishment was very forceful!

At that time, Zhuge Qingxuan did not yet have the title 'Dingtian,' nor was he as profound as he was now.

Back then, he was still high-spirited and dismissive of this forcefully established mysterious organization.

But he was defeated without even seeing the face of this mysterious strongman.

Dingtian Divine King was extremely wary of the mysterious old man behind the curtain, whom he had never met.

Even though two thousand years had passed, and his strength was now incomparable to before.

From behind the black curtain came an old and hoarse voice: "Times have changed."

Dingtian Divine King frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

How long had it been since Ye Yuan left the Holy City?

Had Ye Yuan's strength really progressed to such an extent?

Then what were all his years of arduous cultivation?

"Then... what does the title 'Lingtian' mean?" Dingtian Divine King asked again.

After a moment of silence, the voice from behind the black curtain spoke again: "Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed! You will understand soon enough."

Dingtian Divine King snorted coldly, displeased: "Hmph! Sir, you are still as fond of mystifying as ever!"

The other party remained silent, and the atmosphere grew awkward.

Dingtian Divine King, slightly embarrassed, frowned and said, "I hope the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion will remove Ye Yuan from the Ten Great Divine Kings. For this, the Holy City can pay a corresponding price!"

"Heaven's secrets are heaven's secrets; they cannot be changed!" the old voice said again, showing no respect for Dingtian Divine King.

Zhuge Qingxuan was very displeased with Ye Yuan's inclusion.

Ye Yuan had nearly single-handedly destroyed the entire orthodoxy of the Holy City.

Although those people were like ants to Zhuge Qingxuan, it was a slap in the face.

So, upon hearing that Ye Yuan had been selected as one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, Zhuge Qingxuan was very angry.

Dingtian Divine King, after all, was not of a good temper.

Seeing that the other party showed no respect, he finally became enraged.

"Hmph! Sir established the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion in my Holy City, yet you won't even give me this face! Today, I will see your true face!"

Zhuge Qingxuan roared, and the Brahma Heaven Heart Sutra was already activated as he reached toward the black curtain.

"Chi..."

Just as Zhuge Qingxuan grabbed the black curtain, a faint halo appeared, actually bouncing Zhuge Qingxuan back!

"No need to see me out."

From behind the black curtain, the old voice sounded again, unhurried, imposing without anger!

Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

He hid his hand in his sleeve, but it had already gone numb.

Zhuge Qingxuan had not expected that after two thousand years, he still could not even see the other's face!

...

On this day, Ye Yuan emerged from seclusion.

"Milord, you are truly amazing! Lingtian Divine King, that name is domineering, hahaha..." Jiang Taicang said excitedly.

"What others take thousands of years to achieve, Milord has done in less than thirty years! Milord, now you are the hottest powerhouse in the Divine Realm!" Wu Luo also praised sincerely.

Even Ao Qian, upon hearing the news, was shocked beyond words.

They could never have imagined that Milord's strength had already become so terrifying!

When they first followed Ye Yuan, they still somewhat looked down on him.

But as time passed, almost every moment, their admiration for Ye Yuan deepened.

Ye Yuan still hadn't figured out the situation, but he could tell... he had really entered the Ten Great Divine Kings!
