Chapter 240: The Strong Ones of Naseng
Abyss, Gula Palace.
This place is vast and magnificent, with the main color scheme of the palace being platinum and dark red. It appears grand and imposing yet retains elegance, opulence, and delicate charm.
This is the Gula Palace!
And within a certain hall, a group of people gathered.
The Insomnia Emperor was dressed in platinum royal attire, with a king's hat on his head that emitted waves of legendary magic power, holding a sword in each hand.
On his left and right were the tall, silent Moon Girl and the radiant Eldest Prince.
The Insomnia Emperor sat high on the throne, with other seats arranged below.
On the left side, the first figure was a blurry light, emanating immense heat and light, though all were confined within a meter around him. Within the light, one could vaguely see a non-human being with closed eyes.
On the right side, the first figure was a long-horned deer clad in a sky-blue robe. The horns on this deer resembled crystalline icy needles growing from the top of its head, appearing like freshly fallen icicles.
The one on the left was Poloboyeta, the Sun God, the current de facto leader of the Holy Life Alliance!
The one on the right was the contemporary leader of the Eternal Freeze Court, the mightiest of the Ice Crystal Giant Deer clan.
Behind these three most powerful forces were several minor factions.
Most of the leaders of these small factions were various non-human species, with only a few small human kingdoms represented.
Among them was the Mountain Duke, along with eight other Grand Dukes.
Over a hundred legendary figures were present, practically all the major legends of Naseng were gathered here.
The Insomnia Emperor sat at the very top, resting with closed eyes, seemingly sensing something.
The many legends and gods below were similarly still, appearing like sculptures one after another.
Suddenly, the index finger of the Insomnia Emperor's right hand twitched.
The expressions of everyone in the hall involuntarily shifted, their focus evidently fixed on Insomnia.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, the Insomnia Emperor opened his eyes, and the laws of the hall changed abruptly, as if endless light emanated from his eyes.
The laws of light were rejoicing and exultant!
Simultaneously, the laws of darkness were instantly expelled, leaving not even a shadow in the entire hall, to the point where the concept of darkness ceased to exist.
Under this vast law of light, everyone else in the hall was suppressed, as if they had truly become statues.
The law of light struck everyone like crashing waves. Each person's previously proud laws recoiled back into their bodies, then manifested behind them to resist the immense pressure.
"Roar!" A Dogman God's shadow appeared behind a kobold, a massive black divine dog, howling amidst the beasts.
"Sigh..." The Frost Wolf King, the eighth councilor of the Holy Life Alliance, had a prismatic ice spike appear behind him, exuding the aura of the Ice Law.
Wind, thunder, snow, flame, strength, mountains, ice, earth, life...
All manner of laws retreated back into each individual's body, struggling to endure like a lone boat in the face of the light law.
Only a handful could maintain their laws around them, but it was merely the difference between a small boat and a tiny fishing vessel in the sea.
The Sun God of the Holy Life Alliance emitted a faint glow around him, barely holding up, resembling a candle god more than a sun god.
Another was the Ice Crystal Giant Deer, with its entire body seemingly turned into an ice sculpture, emanating a faint cold air that did not extend beyond half a meter.
Other people's law or body shadows would appear behind them!
If not, they would likely be blown away by the aura of the Insomnia Emperor.
Only behind the Sun God and Ice Crystal Giant Deer were those shadows not revealed.
Everyone was horrified looking at the Insomnia Emperor above.
The Insomnia Emperor was angry!
Everyone withdrew their gaze, unable to meet the Insomnia Emperor's eyes, even the Sun God and others were the same.
The Insomnia Emperor first looked at the Moon Goddess on his right hand.
The Moon Goddess also looked displeased, frowning and shaking her head.
The Insomnia Emperor then glanced at the Eldest Prince, who also solemnly shook his head.
Thus, the Insomnia Emperor stood up and stepped forward.
"Insomnia Emperor, the Bloodstained Road is not to be interfered with!"
At this moment, the Ice Crystal Giant Deer managed to stand up under pressure and speak, its voice sounding like that of a cool female.
"Hmm?" The Insomnia Emperor's gaze shifted over: "Is it your shaman?"
With just a sentence, the Ice Crystal Giant Deer's body almost shattered on the spot.
"Not me!" the Ice Crystal Giant Deer replied coolly and indifferently, "But these are the rules your Human Race established. If you intervene, the Wild Boar Race will be slaughtered."
The Ice Crystal Giant Deer's meaning was simple. The Bloodstained Road was a fair battleground for both non-humans and humans, and they should not interfere.
"That is a legend! A legendary [Shaman]!"
The Mountain Duke stood up at this moment, his demeanor majestic: "A legend can disrupt balance!" A giant shadow seemed to roar faintly behind the Mountain Duke.
"To my knowledge, the Bloodstained Road does not prohibit legends from entering. If permissible... Dominators could also participate," the Sun God, now a humanoid light mass, slowly rose, his voice grand and resonant.
As the Sun God stood, seemingly to resist the pressure, a blurry bird appeared behind.
"Wild Boar... Among the Wild Boar Race, only the Holy Life Alliance has a legendary Wild Boar Chieftain," the Green Leaf Duke, a kindly old man with a flourishing giant tree behind him, spoke.
"I believe that flowers are most beautiful when they bloom amidst blood, don't you?" A slender figure stood up, this young man, bare-chested, had slender muscles with faintly glowing blue scales.
The figure had a fishlike tail, revealing it as a member of the Deep Sea Merman Race!
Behind him lay a tranquil and profound night sky ornamented with countless stars.
"Hmph, Alsmya, I think, when you, this Prince of Stars, came of age, you weren't renowned across the continent, were you?" The Eldest Prince spoke at this moment, faintly opposed to the Prince of Stars: "When you came of age, could you challenge a legend?"
The entire Ocean of Stars and Waves belongs to him!
The Ocean of Stars and Waves, known to reflect the entire starry sky, is also the largest ocean on this planet.
The strength of the Prince of Stars is not to be underestimated.
However, compared to the Eldest Prince, it's merely a match of equals.
"When I came of age, naturally, I couldn't... thus, when I came of age, I wouldn't meddle on the Bloodstained Road," the Prince of Stars, Alsmya, with two scales at the corners of his eyes, looked alluring and handsome: "It's a path to self-destruction."
"I believe, the Bloodstained Road is inviolable and not to be interfered with." To everyone's surprise, the Deep Blue Duke, instead of aiding Gula, said: "However, it does not tolerate outsiders causing trouble either."
Everyone knew, the Deep Blue Duke was exceptionally severe; whether dealing with outsiders or his own kin, he was exceedingly stern.
