True Martial World Chapter 1704 - Ending (2) - Young Female Overlord

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Over a thousand spirit cruisers floated there, each one packed with more than ten thousand geniuses, which meant a staggering total surpassing ten million prodigies!

As a commoner, the linen-clothed youth had already accomplished something extraordinary by reaching this point. In his original world, he surpassed even those his age from somewhat larger sects.

Yet, despite that, the sight of those thousand-plus spirit cruisers filled the youth with apprehension. Securing a spot on this cruiser had been a grueling challenge already.

Across the myriad worlds, candidates faced layer upon layer of grueling selection trials just to board a cruiser. The youth had overcome them, but it had been far from simple.

Now, merely the geniuses who had obtained tickets already exceeded ten million in number, not even counting the spirit cruisers still on their way.

The rivalry was ferocious beyond measure.

The vast Sinkhole, combined with the Mirage Sea Realm's openness to commoner warriors, made the competition utterly imaginable.

“We’ve come for the test to gain valuable experience and lay strong foundations for what lies ahead. The Mirage Sea Realm’s trials consist of five stages altogether. Passing the first three would be a solid achievement. I’ve never witnessed the fourth stage myself...”

The oldest among the trio, the white-dressed youth, shared these words.

This marked his third attempt at the test. In the linen-clothed youth's home world, the white-dressed youth stood as the absolute elite.

“Senior Brother, you’ve never seen the fourth stage either?”

The linen-clothed youth inhaled deeply. It truly seemed daunting.

Regardless of the difficulty, he pressed on. After all, the Mirage Sea Realm remained the sole place across the entire Sinkhole where commoner warriors could access supreme martial arts.

He yearned to enter the Mirage Sea Realm. Still young, he refused to accept the Sinkhole's claim that its martial arts were doomed to fade; he wouldn't bow to fate.

“Let’s head in!” the elder youth urged.

As soon as the hatch slid open, the three stepped onto a colossal square right at the Mirage Sea Realm's entrance.

More than ten enormous sculptures dominated the area.

Every sculpture towered a thousand feet high, carved from timeless ancient granite that defied the ravages of weather and time.

“These statues honor the eight ancient Godly Monarchs. Lurking behind them are the Sinkhole's few hidden Godly Monarchs, including Senior Yi...”

“Senior Yi...”

The linen-clothed youth took a profound breath. To the Sinkhole's younger generation, Yi Yun embodied pure legend. Born of humble origins, he ascended to the Martial Dao's zenith. His fame exploded across the Sinkhole during the White Lunar Divine Empire’s coronation!

At that time, Yi Yun reigned supreme below all Godly Monarchs. Many speculated that his blistering progress had elevated him beyond ordinary Godly Monarchs by now.

Of course, this assumed Yi Yun still lived...

Rumors swirled that Yi Yun had fled to another universe to evade the Ancestor God’s relentless hunt. The Ancestor God’s terrifying power chilled souls to their very essence. Escaping such a grasp seemed inconceivable.

This fueled widespread regret. Had Yi Yun nurtured his power within the Sinkhole, he might have sparked a miraculous turnaround.

“I wasn’t born yet when Senior Yi departed the Sinkhole. By our birth, the Sinkhole’s Heavenly Dao lay in ruins. Sigh...”

The older youth let out a heavy sigh. Yi Yun’s saga included him vanquishing countless Sinkhole powerhouses with a single sword. He crushed tens of millions of demonic servants, a demonic general, and even a Sinkhole overlord who betrayed for a breakthrough under the Ancestor God.

Afterward, at the White Lunar Divine Empire’s coronation, he boldly claimed the freshly crowned White Lunar Goddess Empress.

Lin Xintong shone as the Sinkhole’s most radiant woman then, the object of desire for countless men—yet her heart belonged solely to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun’s legend inspired all to strive higher, cementing his towering status in the martial world.

Note that the twelve square sculptures excluded even luminaries like the Sacred Horizon Divine Lord and Eclipse Arhat. They led the Sinkhole’s premier factions, each with their own Lands of Hope.

Still, they ranked below Yi Yun.

The twelve sculptures on the square drew awe and reverence from the throngs of geniuses.

Crowds especially clustered before Yi Yun’s statue. Among them all, his renown burned the brightest.

Right at that instant, a jade-white spirit cruiser ripped through the void. Lingering white swirls enveloped it as it hovered high above the square.

The spirit cruiser’s hatch slid open moments later, revealing a girl in white attire, approximately seventeen years old. Tall and graceful, she possessed moon-like radiant eyes and impeccable, porcelain skin that seemed extraordinarily tender. Yet, she clutched a spear firmly, her form surging with potent energy and nomological auras.

All present were dumbfounded upon spotting this woman. Who was she?

Her poise, beauty, and nomological aura were utterly perfect. She was clearly a heaven-favored daughter; moreover, the spirit cruiser beneath her was far from inexpensive. Undoubtedly, she came from a prestigious lineage.

Was a scion from a major faction joining the Mirage Sea Realm’s trials as well?

The woman descended directly before Yi Yun’s sculpture, gripping her spear as she gazed upward. Her thoughts remained a mystery.

“I recognize her. She’s Tianxuan Mengyao, granddaughter of Divine General Tianxuan, the new heir to the White Lunar Divine Empire’s Overlord. That spear is the Tianxuan family’s ancestral weapon, the Purple Golden Dragon Patterned Spear!”

“She’s the new heir to the White Lunar Divine Empire’s Overlord?”

Hearing this left everyone in shock. Did this girl truly possess such an immense background?

Actually, after Lin Xintong’s coronation and Yi Yun’s departure from the White Lunar Divine Empire, the empire had begun its decline.

On that day, Divine General Tianxuan endured a crushing defeat! Yi Yun had whisked Lin Xintong away, Bai Yueyin was reduced to a mere soul, and they all vanished with him.

The colossal White Lunar Divine Empire saw its pinnacle experts vanish in droves. No matter how profound its heritage, such a catastrophic loss proved too much. It entered an unstoppable decline.

Yet, Lin Xintong and Yi Yun’s fame was simply overwhelming. Though many believed they might fall to the Ancestor God, none dared assault the White Lunar Divine Empire. Thus, despite its waning state, it clung to its territories and even secured a exclusive Land of Hope.

That said, among the sixteen Lands of Hope, the White Lunar Divine Empire’s ranked somewhat lower in quality.

The White Lunar Divine Empire lacked an Empress now, with the sovereign title shifted to Overlord.

The prospective Overlord remained a woman, and Tianxuan Mengyao shone brightest among the empire’s younger generation, making her the natural successor.

“I never expected her to be Tianxuan Mengyao. But why come to the Mirage Sea Realm? Her White Lunar Divine Empire has a Land of Hope, after all.” The crowd buzzed in confusion. Tianxuan Mengyao had arrived with a substantial retinue, including Divine Lord Elders.

“Tianxuan Mengyao is fiercely ambitious with exceptional talent. She probably seeks to validate herself. Rumors link Huan Chenxue and Nine Li Magus Maiden specially to Yi Yun. The Mirage Sea Realm ties deeply to him too. Her presence here likely stems from that. Remember, at the Empress’s coronation, Yi Yun crippled her grandfather with a single strike.”

Divine General Tianxuan had once been the top warrior in the White Lunar Divine Empire besides Empress Bai Yueyin. His prowess rivaled titans like Sacred Horizon Divine Lord or Eclipse Arhat.

When Yi Yun seized Lin Xintong, the White Lunar Divine Empire’s officials rushed to intervene. The Imperial Preceptor struck first but was blasted away by Yi Yun. Divine General Tianxuan then had no recourse but to act, unsheathing the Purple Golden Dragon Patterned Spear—his family’s ancient heirloom. Still, a lone strike from Yi Yun severed his meridians!

Afterward, his grave wounds left him vulnerable to a sneak attack by humanity’s betrayer, Heavenly Cosmic Divine Lord. Divine General Tianxuan’s cultivation realm plummeted, never reclaiming its past heights.

For the vastly ambitious Tianxuan Mengyao, Yi Yun wasn’t merely an adversary but a towering obstacle in her path.

Vanquishing Yi Yun lay beyond her grasp. Her only option was visiting the Mirage Sea Realm, intimately connected to Yi Yun. By conquering the Sinkhole’s fiercest entry trial, she aimed to forge her own path and solidify her Dao.
