Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1902 Chapter 510: Ten Thousand Clans Await, Reverse Order Challenge_2

"It's truly straightforward and swift."

Di Mingyuan squinted his eyes, his stare shifting toward the black-cloaked young man in the top position, a hint of gravity flickering in his gaze.

Without that individual's arrival, he would have been set on claiming the leading True King rank, yet at present... the rival's prior display had almost shattered his assurance.

"Ancient Demons are actually corroding the Heavenly Source—do they intend to fully transform the True Realm into an Ancient Demons' territory?"

"Back in the era of ten thousand years past, they left the Heavenly Source untouched, but now they aim to corrupt it. It's no surprise that every Emperor is stepping in."

The immortal forebears from diverse clans displayed shock in their expressions and grasped that the True Realm's disaster and its origins are far more dreadful than those from ten thousand years prior.

What exactly is the Heavenly Source? It serves as the True Realm's essence, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. Should Ancient Demons capture it, they'd seize command of the True Realm's Heavenly Dao, which means dominating every law within the True Realm, empowering them with immense might.

Through this, the Ten Thousand Clans would wither away, serving purely as sustenance for the Ancient Demons.

"The crisis beyond is so dire. A reversal challenge—this is fine, the strong shall prevail!"

Clad in a Tao robe, Dao Qingyin adopted a grave expression. She ranked twelfth among the top twenty.

Even as an heir from a mighty clan, her cultivation remained incomplete upon entering the Abyss, and achieving such progress in merely eight hundred years is already remarkable, though her foundation appears somewhat modest next to others. Securing a True King position now would mark an outstanding feat for her.

"In the end, combat prowess remains the key element, whether good or evil, along with Tao Heart and command skills, provided they aren't severely deficient."

Upon catching the Star Empress's words, Shi Miao eased her tension noticeably. These guidelines imposed no burden on her whatsoever.

She felt assured of battling her way into the top ten through the reverse order.

"Plus, during this election of the ten kings, rankings determine the sequence; the loftier the position, the greater the sequence. The foremost True King wields the mightiest forces, and even possesses the right to direct other True Kings beyond sequence three!"

Right then, the Immortal Immortal Emperor interjected, his look serious: "The runner-up True King gains command rights just below the first, including access to a sealed Emperor Artifact, with the option to pick armies from the ten premier clans!"

"The third True King..."

He described each position gradually, detailing the privileges for every one of the ten kings, decreasing progressively; the tenth-ranked True King, despite the title, must lead only the leftover forces from the Ten Thousand Clans' armies, possessing the feeblest overall strength, and remains under the directives of the leading three True Kings.

Furthermore, every True King gets an allocation of assorted cultivation aids, such as Quasi-Emperor Artifacts and prizes including sealed Emperor Weapons.

After listening, most of the top twenty contestants lit up with enthusiasm. Those who had earlier despaired of reaching the top True King spot and lost drive now surged with eagerness to compete.

"With prizes like these, the struggle for the ten True King seats will surely be drenched in blood."

Hearing this, the other dejected participants grew ashen-faced, letting out sighs of amazement, while some inwardly felt grateful for not being chosen, sparing them from an uncertain brutal fight.

"Commanding the ten greatest clans..."

Upon hearing that, Di Mingyuan's eyes flashed with icy resolve. He no longer harbored ambitions for the primary True King role and hadn't intended to unveil much strength in this contest, but the second True King could select from the ten top clans!

Being an heir of the Heavenly Emperor Clan, how could he tolerate his clan's power falling under another's control, letting the Emperor Clan bow to other True Kings!

"I had thought to coast through, but it looks like these elders are truly pushing us to show our hidden strengths."

"Fortunately, this is within the Heaven Tower, enabling rebirth through reincarnation."

The remaining rivals also gleamed with sharp determination in their eyes.

Just then, the void trembled with a deep rumble.

It was only after this that the Star Empress lifted her hand, forming ten platforms amid the void that slowly took shape.

Every platform was encased in an Emperor Power Barrier, so no matter the ferocity of the clashes within, breaching it was impossible, far exceeding what an Immortal King could wield.

Beyond the arenas for the ten kings lay routes leading to the diverse clans of the Ten Thousand Clans outside the Abyss.

Auras emanated from those routes.

"That's the Ancestor Dragon Clan—our Ancestor Dragon Clan endures!"

"Our Taichu Clan has arrived as well!"

"What of our Lingluo Clan? Why has no aura shown up?"

Numerous individuals detected their clan's presence through those routes, all displaying thrilled expressions, yet also tinged with slight embarrassment and sorrow.

Their clans had arrived to witness, but as the already ousted, they lacked the right to take the field, reduced to spectating from afar like mere attendants.

"My Kan Water Clan hasn't appeared either—has the Eastern Domain truly collapsed? Perhaps my clan..."

"Blast these wretched Ancient Demons!!"

"Aaah, let's begin quickly—I need to exit and seek vengeance for my clan!"

"Strange, my clan lies in the Southern Domain—why no connection?"

"My clan dwells in the Western Regions, no aura coming down—does that mean..."

Within the Abyss's assembled clans, those unable to feel their own clan's aura paled drastically, some revealing traces of uncertainty.

This aura links not just to the All Heavens inside the Heaven Tower, but also draws in the eliminated ones from outside, now relocated within the Heaven Tower to observe this ultimate True King selection.

Instantly, the Heaven Tower filled with clamor.

Thankfully, the Space Law in this place, vast and boundless, avoided any sense of overcrowding.

Confronting the flood of puzzled questions, the Immortal Immortal Emperor replied with a blank face: "Each path links to a clan's original stone; if no aura emerges, it signifies the clan's destruction, with only scattered bloodlines left in existence."

As soon as these words landed, the many inquirers went numb in their minds, struck speechless.
