He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

A large number of human prodigies, including the Central Emperor, the Southern Demon, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Ji Haoyue, and the Holy Maiden of Zifu, have already gone there in advance. Moreover, it is rumored that Huangxu Dao, Huo Qizi, Shencan Daoren, Yuan Gu, and others will also make an appearance.

Moreover, another major event occurred this month: the birth of the Emperor's son, which caused a huge sensation.

The Undying Emperor is a god in the hearts of all races. As the son of the Undying Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor's son holds an extremely high position in the hearts of all races. As soon as the Heavenly Emperor's son was born, he instantly attracted many followers from the ancient races, including many Ancestral Kings!

This grand gathering of all races will also be the first time the Heavenly Emperor's son appears before all races. Perhaps this is part of the Heavenly Emperor's son's plan to spread his reputation through this grand event and attract more races to follow him.

This is just the younger generation gathering in advance, and it's already an extremely luxurious lineup. Not to mention the true giants of each race, there will inevitably be a large number of Ancestral Kings. It will be a scene of great change.

The Dark City, located in the northern part of the Central Region, is a place that has made countless powerful figures throughout history frown and tremble with fear.

The Western Queen Mother has appeared, the Great Accomplished Holy Body has come, the Void Emperor has been in charge, the Beginningless Emperor has descended... These represent one supreme being after another.

This city is too special; it has inevitably become the eye of the storm during several periods of darkness and turmoil.

In the past few days, powerful figures have been arriving frequently, causing a stir in this place and making it the focus of attention throughout the world. Almost every powerful person comes here.

The Holy Lord of the Eastern Wilderness, the Emperor of the Central Plains, the Great Power of the Northern Plains, the Great Demon of the Southern Ridge, the High Monk of the Western Desert—the Dark City has gathered far too many powerful figures. If you were to throw a stone here, you would likely hit an old monster of extraordinary status.

Chapter 318 The King of the Zhou Family

The Dark City was not particularly grand; its twelve-zhang-high walls were not much more imposing than those of other cities, and it paled in comparison to the divine cities of the Northern Region.

However, it is known as the number one city in the Central Region not because of its size, but because of the city's long history.

It has witnessed too much history and too much darkness. Throughout the dark and turbulent times, this place has always been the primary battlefield.

The walls of the Dark City are dark red because of countless battles fought throughout history. The walls themselves have been stained this color, and there are also sword marks and arrow holes, all of which are proof that this city has endured countless battles.

Outside the city, people would arrive from time to time riding auspicious clouds, as well as humans flying on swords, and ancient creatures with wings and surrounded by demonic light. There were all sorts of people, and it truly felt like a grand event.

"The Phoenix of the Wind Clan of the Central Region has arrived. It is said that this girl created an extraordinary divine technique at the age of thirteen. She not only possesses the beauty to make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, but also has a reputation for being exceptionally talented. Her future is limitless."

"Not only that, I also have inside information. It is said that Feng Huang is highly regarded within the Feng Clan and has been identified as the only candidate for the next Holy Lord. Rumor has it that she has the potential to solve the mystery of the clan's ancestral stele, which has stood for hundreds of thousands of years!"

This is a woman wearing a phoenix mask and a five-colored robe. The robe appears to be woven from phoenix feathers, radiant with divine light and flowing with five colors, making her exceptionally beautiful.

Phoenix, the celestial maiden of the Wind Clan, is the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Wilderness. Her talent is astonishing, and it is certain that in a few years, she will become the Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, controlling a vast region in the Central Domain, ruling over the life and death of countless people, and her status will be incomparably revered.

Many saints from small and medium-sized sects paled in comparison to her, their radiance stolen.

"That person, he's still alive?" A Holy Lord saw a withered old man in the Wind Clan's ranks and his face showed surprise.

The Holy Lord had only seen that old man when he was young, and at that time, the Holy Lord was still a minor cultivator, while that old man was already one of the powerful rulers who dominated the world.

"How is that possible? Didn't everyone say that he passed away two thousand years ago? How can he still be alive now? He was from the same era as Jiang Taixu, so he should be over four thousand years old now. How could he have lived for so long?"

Upon considering that possibility, the Holy Lord's expression changed.

That old man was the previous Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, from the same era as Jiang Taixu. Although he was not as brave and diligent as Jiang Taixu and did not make a great name for himself, the fact that he had lived for more than four thousand years without dying was enough to explain something.

This grand gathering of all races is very important because it is said that a quasi-emperor will be attending. As a result, some old monsters hidden in various races have come out to pay their respects at the gathering.

Before long, a group of savages dressed in animal skins, who looked like they had come out of the deep mountains and forests, also arrived in the Dark City, which sparked another heated discussion.

"Is that seemingly simple-minded young man walking ahead Dongfang Ye from the Qishi Mansion? He must be one of the top twenty experts in the Qishi Mansion. I didn't expect him to be a rogue cultivator. The old men beside him are all terrifying."

"Back when the Qishi Mansion first opened, this barbarian dared to physically attack a powerful figure, even drawing blood from that figure's hand. Now..."

It seems this person is backed by a hidden lineage!

A group of people were discussing in hushed tones when suddenly they noticed a strange pair among them and were all stunned.

It was a thin, withered old man, dressed in an animal skin coat and wearing an animal skin hat. Just now, something happened, and a black claw peeked out from under the animal skin hat, resembling a tortoise!

Although the claw was quickly retracted, who were the people present? At the very least, they were all supreme elders of a sect, with extraordinary cultivation, so they could see it clearly.

Everyone found it strange that someone would come to the All Races Conference with a turtle on their head. The scene looked quite comical.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! This is the human race I remember: wearing animal skins, worshipping other races as totems, and revering them as gods for protection. It turns out that the human race hasn't changed at all. How about coming to worship me as your totem?"

An ancient creature with a dog's head, a human body, and a pair of pure white divine wings on its back sneered, mocking the human race to the extreme, which drew angry glares from a group of people.

This is the ancient race that is hostile to the human race. They cannot accept that the human race, who were once just servants of the various races, has now climbed above them. Therefore, they are unwilling to believe that the human race really has a quasi-emperor in charge.

"brush"

The thin, withered old man vanished in the blink of an eye and reappeared beside this ancient creature, striking with lightning speed and slapping it across the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the ancient creature's head fell to one side, revealing an incredulous look as it struggled to look at the old man.

"What are you looking at? If it weren't for the rules of this conference prohibiting conflict and fighting here, I could smash your dog's head in right now. Do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to bite us?" The old man revealed a chilling gaze.

The ancient creature looked grim and turned to leave, no longer daring to mock him. He came from a small clan, and if he were to be targeted by those seemingly ferocious old men, he would likely be beheaded as soon as he left the city.

"Could this clan be the legendary clan that once dominated the Southern Ridge?" Someone noticed the old man's imposing manner and seemed to realize something, their face showing surprise.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the entire Nanling Mountains were ruled by a group of barbarian tribes, but their lineage was inexplicably cut off. Could it be that they have always existed, but simply went into seclusion?

Not everyone knew this legend, but thanks to the promotion by some people, people heard about it and their gaze towards the savages changed instantly.

"No wonder Dongfang Ye's combat power is so terrifying. He's not some rogue cultivator or barbarian. He's clearly the sole heir of a terrifying hidden family!" The group was shocked.

As more and more beings poured into the Dark City, gradually, more and more of the world's most famous beings appeared here.

"Who is that woman? She looks like she stepped out of a painting; she is truly a peerless beauty."

"That is Princess Yueling of the Jiuli Dynasty, known as the second most beautiful woman in Zhongzhou. Of course, she is charming and flawless."

A peerless beauty walked from afar, wearing a phoenix crown and a robe of rosy clouds, radiant and dazzling, like the morning glow dancing in the air.

This woman herself had skin as smooth as jade, flowing black hair, and bright, lively eyes; she was almost perfect.

Her beauty is like jade, exuding a unique charm.

"Look over there, that's the innate Dao embryo of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. She's been keeping a low profile in recent years. There were rumors that she might be staying with the Zhou family and receiving guidance from the Divine Lord. Now that we see her, it's probably not just a rumor!"

Someone saw Zixia. After entering the realm of great power, Zixia merged with the Dao of Heaven, and her temperament became increasingly ethereal, with a transcendent quality, seemingly not belonging to this mortal world.

It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion has undergone an unimaginable transformation, and her cultivation is completely different from the past.

"Could she have become a powerful being? She has a congenital Dao embryo. Legend has it that once someone with this physique reaches the Saint Lord realm, they can merge with the Dao of Heaven and become invincible among their peers!"

In the Dark City, cultivators from all sides gathered, and every now and then a streak of light would break through the sky and land in the city.

This is the number one city in the Central Region. It has been free from war for a long time. After years of recuperation, the Dark City is now very prosperous, bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and filled with the vibrant energy of the mortal world.

In fact, even before the All Races Conference, half of the people in this city were cultivators, and now it's even more terrifying, with 99% of them being cultivators!

Moreover, 99% of these are not ordinary cultivators. They are either supreme elders of a major sect or renowned powerful beings. In addition, there are many terrifying creatures from the Primordial Race.

The Grand Assembly of All Races will not begin for several more days, but a large number of cultivators from various races and countless heroes have already arrived in the Dark City.

The small town has become crowded, all the inns are full, and the city is almost overflowing. The human race has no choice but to open the grand event ahead of schedule.

"boom"

Above the Dark City, clouds churned and surged, as if a gate between heaven and earth had opened, accompanied by thunderous roars.

The Great Assembly of All Races would not be held in a place inhabited by mortals. Above the Dark City, there has always been a unique divine land.

Above the white clouds, the mountains are majestic and the celestial palace is magnificent. This is a floating continent that flew out from the void.

This is an ancient continent that has been sealed away. The Western Queen Mother, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, the Void Emperor, and the Beginningless Emperor have protected this ancient continent through countless dark upheavals and turmoil since ancient times.

Now, some holy lords have joined forces to break the seal here, summoning this dormant ancient continent. This is the location of the upcoming grand gathering of all races, where all conflicts will take place.

"when"

In a celestial palace, a large golden bell hangs, its sound reaching far and wide, clearly echoing throughout the ancient city below.

"The divine bell has rung again." The mortals discussed, all looking up at the sky.

In dark times, the ringing of this bell signified the coming of war, bloodshed, countless deaths, and immense sorrow and grief.

In peacetime, this bell is rarely rung, as it signifies the start of a grand event in the Eastern Wilderness!

In the dark city, streaks of light shot into the sky, various magical treasures danced in the air, and colorful rainbows illuminated the world in a dazzling display.

This continent is vast, with surging white clouds beneath our feet and palaces stretching before us, as if we have arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate. The place is filled with the glow of clouds and mist, and no one would consider it a simple or crude venue for the gathering of all races.

thing

In fact, even without these palaces, the fact that several great emperors once stayed here and fought against the darkness and turmoil already gives it profound historical significance.

After the various forces in the Dark City flew up, they all chose a palace to stay in. This continent is vast, with countless palaces. Not to mention the human race and the ancient races, even if the saints from beyond the realm and countless races from beyond the realm descend in the future, it will be difficult for this palace to be full.

"when"

The distant tolling of bells signified the arrival of an important figure, and many human leaders and ancient beings went out to greet them.

One of the cave masters of the thirteen caves of Fire Kirin Cave has arrived. Such a status commands respect. He is from an ancient royal family that once produced an ancient emperor who reigned supreme in an era, and no one on earth dared to defy him.

Although they are all ancient races, there are distinctions of rank and status, even vast differences.

Moreover, what is most terrifying about this clan is that one of its ancient princes is still alive. It is foreseeable that as long as he is not killed off in advance, this clan will surely continue to be glorious for at least 10,000 years.

"when"

Half a day later, another bell rang, and one of the seventeen mountain lords of Blood Phoenix Mountain arrived. He was of illustrious and noble status, and his lineage had produced an ancient emperor who was unparalleled in the ancient era.

In the following days, the divine bell rang every day, but not a single sound was for the human race, which made the human race feel very embarrassed.

Some Holy Lords knew that the human race was not without kings, but like the Supreme Holy Lord of the Wind Clan, they kept a low profile and did not publicize it.

This is the difference in thinking between the ancient race and the human race. The ancient race liked to display all their power to intimidate others, which was determined by the characteristics of that era.

After all other races retreated and the human race became the masters of this land, without the threat of other races, the human race began to develop rapidly. The early development was relatively peaceful, but later internal strife began.

In the midst of internal strife, the rules of the ancient times no longer applied, and humanity gradually developed its own set of rules.

Simply put, times have changed, and the rules for survival are different now.

The modern human race prefers to cultivate its strength and accumulate hidden cards, keeping others guessing about its true power, only unleashing its full potential at crucial moments.

As it turns out, this approach is very useful in the internal strife among humans, far more effective than the ancient rule that all power had to be displayed.

The foundation is a survival rule that emerged from the internal strife among humans after the Primordial Era. Naturally, it is very different from the law of the jungle that prevailed during the Warring States period when all races vied for supremacy.

The emergence of the ancient races is not just a matter of the revival of a group of races, but also a collision between the survival laws of the past and the present. In this collision, the original laws will be destroyed, and a brand new survival law will be born.

This law of survival may lead to endless wars, bloodshed, and internal strife among all races, or it may lead to peaceful coexistence, mutual benefit, and common development among all races.

This grand gathering of all races is discussing such crucial issues, concerning the future of the Primordial Race and the Human Race, as well as the future changes in the situation of the Big Dipper Ancient Star. Everyone attaches great importance to this grand event.
