My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

A few years later.

Jun Haoxuan found Meng Chuan.

"Lord Mengchuan, I have found out the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Profound Iron Essence."

"Oh? Who has it?"

Meng Chuan pressed for an answer.

Jun Haoxuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's in the hands of Xuan Wuji, the domain lord of the Ice Soul Star Domain."

He paused, then added, "Xuan Wuji is the representative of the Great Emperor, and standing behind him is the supreme powerhouse of the Ice Law, the 'Ice Emperor.' Eight hundred years ago, after the Ice Emperor retired, Xuan Wuji has been in charge of the Ice Soul Star Region."

"I personally went to the Ice Soul Starfield to ask him for the Nine Heavens Profound Iron Essence, and I even mentioned your name. But he said... he would only give you the material if you came in person."

After hearing this, Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Go there in person?

Could it be that Xuan Wuji is trying to raise the price on the spot?

"It's alright, I'll go myself."

A glint of light flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes.

No matter what, he was determined to get that thing!

……

Ice Soul Starfield, Domain Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, thirty figures were sitting in the main hall of the Domain Lord's Mansion.

These thirty people all possessed unfathomable auras, clearly being peak-level Immortal Emperors!

Among them were men and women, young and old; some wore magnificent robes, some wore simple cloth clothes, some had a refined and scholarly air, and some exuded a murderous aura.

But they all share a common identity—

The Emperor's Spokesperson!

They are all domain lords of their respective super star domains!

Seated in the main seat was a middle-aged man wearing a dark black robe.

He had a square face, with an air of authority between his brows, and his sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, swept over everyone present.

It was none other than Xuan Wuji, the Lord of the Ice Soul Star Domain!

He picked up his wine glass, glanced around, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Gentlemen, that Meng Chuan will probably be coming to see me soon."

"These past few years, he's been searching everywhere for the Nine Heavens Profound Iron Essence; he's clearly determined to get his hands on it! As long as we use it as bait, he'll definitely take the bait!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up and showed excited expressions.

"Haha! If he dares to come, he'll die here!"

A burly man in crimson armor burst into laughter, his voice booming like thunder throughout the hall.

"If he comes, he will surely die!"

A beautiful woman in a long cyan dress nodded, her tone laced with resentment, "What is Meng Chuan? He's just a nouveau riche who got rich by sheer luck! Just because he cultivated the Law of Power and obtained a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, he dares to disregard us, the representatives of the Great Emperor!"

"He killed 'Tu An,' who was also one of our representatives of the Emperor... This is a blatant slap in the face to all of us representatives of the Emperor!"

An elderly man with white hair spoke up, his voice hoarse and cold, "If we don't eliminate him, what prestige will we, the representatives of the Great Emperor, have left?"

These words resonated with everyone present.

Immediately, the crowd in the hall was filled with indignation, and they all denounced Meng Chuan's "crimes".

Xuan Wuji waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

His gaze swept over everyone present, his tone somber:

"Gentlemen, you must have all heard about Meng Chuan's strength."

"Even with the Emperor Weapon of the Great Dao of Destruction, Tu An was no match for him and was killed by him in the Chaos Space."

"Jiang Chen cultivates the laws of space and wields two top-grade innate imperial weapons, yet he was easily crushed."

"Rumor has it that when Di Lin and Jun Haoxuan sparred with him together, they couldn't even last three moves against him."

"This person's strength is so great that he probably has no rivals below the level of an emperor."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present became more serious.

Although they cursed fiercely, they all knew in their hearts that Meng Chuan's strength was indeed far beyond that of an ordinary Immortal Venerable!

If it were a one-on-one fight, no one present would be his match!

Even if they join forces, they might not be able to defeat the other side!

"but--"

Xuan Wuji abruptly changed the subject, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person!"

"And we have thirty people!"

"Thirty Great Dao Emperor Weapons!"

"And then there's our meticulously prepared 'Thirty Stars Annihilation Killing Array'!"

"Even if he had three heads and six arms, he would still surely die!"

He stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and waved his hand—

A huge star map appeared before everyone.

The star chart marked the trajectories of thirty stars, forming an incredibly mysterious array.

At the center of the formation was a huge vortex, seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

"The Thirty Star Annihilation Array uses thirty Great Dao Emperor Weapons as its array cores, drawing upon the power of thirty Great Dao Laws, and can unleash a power comparable to a full-force attack from an ordinary Great Emperor!"

Xuan Wuji's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a powerful confidence:

"Under the Emperor's command, none can stand in his way!"

"Even a weaker emperor would be severely injured, if not killed!"

"That Meng Chuan, if he dares to step into the formation, will surely die!"

Everyone present looked at the star map with excitement in their eyes.

They have been waiting for this day for a very long time!

Ever since Meng Chuan killed Tu An and seized the Sangyu Star Region, these representatives of the Great Emperor have lived in constant unease...

They worried that Meng Chuan's success would inspire other immortals to follow suit and challenge their position!

They were even more worried that Meng Chuan's next target would be one of them...

Therefore, they must join forces, strike first, and eliminate Meng Chuan!

"Meng Chuan... your death is near!"

Xuan Wuji clenched his fist, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

The thirty representatives of the Great Emperors did not disperse normally; they remained in the main hall of the Ice Soul Star Domain Lord's Mansion, waiting for Meng Chuan's arrival.

a few days later.

Xuan Wuji opened his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent. "Everyone, we can now conceal ourselves and set up the formation... That Meng Chuan is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other twenty-nine representatives of the Great Emperor vanished into the void, as if they had never existed.

Their very presence vanished!

They practiced the same sophisticated concealment technique contributed by a representative of a certain great emperor. Unless the great emperor himself came, it would be impossible for him to find their whereabouts in a short period of time!

"Lord Mengchuan, our Lord is already awaiting your arrival in the main hall. Please!"

A late-stage Immortal Emperor cultivator under Xuan Wuji's command welcomed Meng Chuan into the Domain Lord's Mansion.

Meng Chuan slowly stepped into the Domain Lord's Mansion and entered the main hall.

"Lord Mengchuan, please have a seat."

Xuan Wuji stood up from the main seat, cupped his hands, and greeted him with a smile.

Meng Chuan, however, had no intention of wasting any more time here. He calmly said, "Lord Xuanwuji, I have come here only to request the 'Nine Heavens Profound Essence'... You specifically asked me to come and request it personally, and now that I'm here, where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Wuji's extended divine sense confirmed that the person before him was indeed Meng Chuan himself. His smile vanished instantly. "Domain Lord Meng Chuan, I'm sorry... I do not possess the Nine Heavens Mystic Field Essence."

"I was just kidding you!"
