Chapter 54
Gathering of Realm Lords
The Heilongshan Starfield contains more than 8,000 star systems and over 100 million inhabited planets.
Aside from the six top powers of the Human Alliance, which are beyond human comprehension.
The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is most famous for its two holy lands, four organizations, and sixteen families, which control everything.
Among the four organizations participating in the Thunder World this time, Three Axe Mountain is the strongest. Two of its three founders have already achieved the Immortal level, and the remaining one is also a well-known and invincible Realm Lord: Time Realm Lord Luo.
The other three, Black Cloud Society, Hundred Tiger Tower, and North Dragon City, are no match for Three Axe Mountain in terms of peak strength, but they have the largest number of lower-level members.
At this moment, the Thunder World within a World was born, and the four major organizations were the first to receive the news and the first to take action.
Then the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire followed closely behind.
Finally, there are the small organizations and individual members.
-----------------
Azure Star.
The headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the entrance to the Thunder World.
By this time, mercenaries and space adventurers from nearby planets and galaxies had already arrived.
When the trainee mercenary assessment took place in a realm within a realm, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance immediately dispatched a special envoy to oversee the situation.
These early space adventurers and mercenaries, intimidated by the power of the Space Mercenary Alliance, dared not force their way in.
"With the emergence of the inner world within the Thunder World, it is no longer suitable as an assessment world. The assessment should be terminated immediately so that those of us with greater strength can enter and explore."
A female warrior with shoulder-length black hair, clad in white armor and wielding two swords, projects the logo of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance into the air with a wave of her hand.
Whether by fate or not, the envoy of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is none other than Ji Qing from the original story.
With an icy expression, Ji Qing stated unequivocally, "As the assessment world of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Thunder World is prohibited from entry by anyone with a strength of at least the Constant Star level until its assessment function is revoked by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!"
As the saying goes, blocking someone's money is like killing their parents, and preventing these adventurers and mercenaries from entering the Inner Realm is almost equivalent to blocking their path to becoming stronger.
The enmity of those who obstruct the way cannot be resolved without a fight to the death.
Although Ji Qing held the status of a special envoy of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it was meaningless in the face of a group of cosmic-level beings whose desires had been aroused.
There was no point in arguing, and several cosmic-level figures in the crowd, who had been holding back for a while, unanimously chose to make their move.
The next moment, these cosmic-level beings, who had only rushed halfway, were suddenly pressed to the ground by an immense pressure from the sky.
"A mere cosmic-level being dares to defy the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."
Everyone looked up at the sky.
A cyborg, whose entire body except for its head still retains its original human form, crossed its arms and glanced disdainfully at the crowd below as it slowly descended.
"Domain Lord level!"
"It's over, we have no chance."
"We've reached the Domain Lord level, and we'll probably reach the World Lord level soon too."
The crowd at the entrance to Thunder World were all dejected and looked dejected.
The reason they dared to defy convention and attack the envoy of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance was that they knew that if they didn't act quickly, they would soon be out of the picture.
At this moment, Ji Qing, the white-armored woman wielding twin swords, cupped her hands towards the Domain Lord-level figure from before and said, "Lord Mingyu!"
Ming Yu smiled faintly: "Ji Qing, why don't you focus on cultivating diligently at the Virtual Universe branch instead of becoming a special envoy of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?"
Ji Qing replied, "Not long ago, I was chosen by an immortal god of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, who took me under his wing and made me his teacher. As a result, I joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance as a special envoy to maintain order during this trainee mercenary assessment."
Ming Yu's eyes flashed immediately. He had originally planned to enter the Thunder World directly, but now he was in a bit of a predicament.
Ji Qing's family, Ji family, is an immortal royal family. She is also deeply loved by the immortal ancestor in the family and has now become the disciple of an immortal teacher.
With two immortal-level Ji Qings behind him, Ming Yu dared not offend them easily.
Just then, a wild laugh echoed through the sky.
"Hahaha!"
What followed was an even more terrifying pressure than when Ming Yu arrived. Of everyone present, only Ming Yu and Ji Qing were still able to stand.
A powerful realm lord-level expert, clad in purple armor and wielding a staff-sword, descended amidst endless ice.
"The commander of the mighty Three Axes Mountain was actually blocked by a little girl. It's a real disgrace to Jiang Tiancheng."
Ming Yu glanced to the side, his brow furrowing: "Hargrave!"
The surrounding crowd stirred again, and some well-informed adventurers and mercenaries recognized Hargrave and began to tell stories about him.
"It's the imperial family of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region!"
"According to the information released by the Black Dragon Mountain Royal Martial Corps, Lord Hargrave's strength ranks among the top three in the Royal Martial Corps, and he is also the most outstanding peak Lord-level expert in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region."
"The Ninth Princess of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is the granddaughter of Lord Hargrave."
"Lord Hargrave has a powerful background and immense strength. I wonder if this Star-level envoy from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance can stop him?"
Just then, Hargrave slowly walked towards the entrance to the Thunder World.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qing raised his knife and pointed it at Hargrave.
Hargrave's expression turned cold, and the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted, freezing over.
"You dare stop me?"
Ji Qing said without fear: "Those above the Hengxing level are prohibited from entering the trainee mercenary assessment world!"
Hargrave is trying to force his way in using his World Lord-level strength; I really can't stop him.
But I will report everything that happened here in detail to the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. When the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's enforcement team comes to a head, I hope you can withstand it just as strongly.
Hargrave paused. His super-sensory abilities, at the level of a World Lord, immediately detected that several people in the crowd were displaying mocking expressions.
Hargrave was immediately embarrassed and annoyed. The next moment, the icy aura around him suddenly surged, freezing Ji Qing's entire body in an instant, leaving only his head intact.
Mingyu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward and stood between Ji Qing and Hargrave.
"Hahaha! The dignified Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Martial Arts Guild was actually stopped by a mere Eternal Star Realm cultivator! How shameful!"
Such a strange and sarcastic tone...
Hargrave was already somewhat embarrassed, and now that someone had come along to establish his authority, he naturally wouldn't tolerate it.
In an instant, he appeared in front of Mingyu and grabbed at Mingyu's neck.
At that very instant, the sky suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
A bolt of golden lightning struck Hargrave squarely in the center.
Hargrave's body surged with energy, and ice condensed above his head, forming an ice shield to block the lightning.
"Hmph! What a troublesome fellow!"
"Hargrave, it's been a while, and your situation looks rather worrying!"
In the sky, a ray of golden sunlight pierced through the dark clouds that had just been split open by lightning.
Like a god descending to earth, Marshal Jiang Tianchen of the Three Axes Mountain, a Realm Lord-level figure, wore golden armor and had a lightning mark between his brows, a mark recognized by the origin of the lightning law.
Hargrave, who was already annoyed, became even more annoyed when he saw that Jiang Tianchen was even better at showing off than him.
He immediately disregarded his pride and unleashed the laws of water and the power of ice and snow, attempting to regain control of the situation.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianchen naturally wouldn't back down. He was stronger than Hargrave and younger, so how could he possibly give in?
In an instant, the entire planet Canglan was divided into two worlds by thunder and ice.
"Calm down, you two. Fighting like this won't get you the treasure of the Realm Within a Realm. Why don't you talk this over?"
At this moment, a female realm master dressed in a snow-white robe, almost transparent, suddenly appeared between the two and protected the crowd who were about to be overwhelmed by the power of the law.
"The Ice Sea Kingdom, one of the two holy lands!"
Seeing this, Jiang Tianchen and Hargrave withdrew their power and began to wait quietly.
Subsequently, one after another, world lords and domain lords arrived.
In less than half an hour, 12 World Lords, dozens of Domain Lords, hundreds of Universe Lords, and countless Star Lords gathered at the entrance to the Thunder World.
