Chapter 632 – Leaving A Mark on the Divine Monument

The heavenly river flowed about, divine corpses floating up and down along it . By the riverside, an ancient monument towered into the sky, sparkling and brilliant . There were many creatures who surrounded it below .

A few youngsters’ spirits were raised, eager to give this a try . They all wanted to leave their names on the monument and see how high they themselves would rank . They wanted to know whether dazzling radiance would be released .

“Let me try first!”

A youngster walked up . The bottom of his feet shone, leaving behind symbols one after another on the ground surface . It was sparkling and resplendent, and then his entire body ignited with radiance .

He was going to test his own strength, so he used his greatest methods, erupting with all of his power to attack the stone monument .

A rain of light scattered down, as if flower petals were dancing about . His entire being released the most powerful strike, and with thunderous noise, it smashed onto the three thousand zhang tall monument . A great noise rang through the air .

“How is it? How high did I rank?” The youth stepped backwards, a hopeful look on his face as he searched for his own name .

However, after a long time had passed, nothing appeared, leaving him quite stunned .

“I don’t see anything . ” The others also shook their heads .

These people’s divine senses were powerful, so if they carefully searched, they naturally wouldn’t miss anything . They swept their eyes over the densely packed names, but they couldn’t see any traces .

“Has this monument existed for too long and some kind of problem happened? Otherwise, how can my name not be here?” The youth asked, feeling a bit disappointed .

A few older cultivators immediately laughed . Among them, an old woman with green hair who carried a date tree staff said, “Not everyone can leave their names on the monument . It only maintains the first three million names . ”

The youngster’s face immediately became red and he clenched his fists . He unexpectedly didn’t even have the qualifications, yet he wanted to see his ranking… he was truly embarrassed .

“Youngster, do not feel ashamed . It is rare for a person’s name to show up on the ancient monument after many years . Those that can do so are all world shaking geniuses . ” An elder kindly consoled .

“Just think about it! This is a ranking that has accumulated from the ancient era all the way until today . Countless eras have passed, so just think about how many people have tried to put their names on it . This really is a terrifying ranking,” the green haired old woman said with a chuckle .

When she said this, that youth immediately felt much better, no longer being embarrassed .

“This is the accumulation of the three thousand provinces since endless years ago?” Someone cried out in shock . After thinking about it carefully, it left him utterly terrified .

It was because if one averaged it, it meant that one province could only have a thousand people . If it was then distributed into the several thousand eras, then that meant that not even the number one genius of a generation in that province would be guaranteed a spot on the monument .

This… everyone was stupefied . It was just too shocking!

“It mainly includes the nearby ten provinces . The ancient era’s three thousand provinces… the distance is too great . Who can cross such a great distance?” An elder explained with a smile .

That wasn’t practical, three thousand provinces… every single province was boundless, with the space between them like the heavens . There was no way the geniuses of the remote ancient provinces would be able to come here .

Of course, there were those who did pass by and tested themselves here .

Everyone released a sigh . If this truly represented the rankings of all three thousand provinces, it would be just too suffocating .

However, even though this was the case, once they calculated it, it still made everyone’s expressions grave .

“Let me give it a try . ” A purple haired youngster walked up . He wasn’t of the human race . There was a layer of golden armor around his body that was shaped like a human, but had eight arms . He was extremely self confident .

The monument was divided into three regions, testing strength, talent, and potential . He chose the strength area . His entire body shone, and then with a rumbling sound, he struck the monument .

Everyone backed up . They could feel the tremendous power and intimidating pulsing of symbols . It was much more formidable than that of many of the people here . This was a formidable expert .

However, when that strike ended, he took a step backwards, but no movement appeared on the monument . The last name continued to remain carved there without any changes .

“This…” Everyone was quite shocked . Not even the strike of a pure-blooded creature’s strength could squeeze out the last person’s name . How terrifying was this?

“Is it because our cultivation levels are still low, so our ranking isn’t as high when we test here?” Someone asked in a low voice .

“What kind of individual is the demonic sovereign? He transcended all shackles of heaven and earth, guiding down lightning tribulation . Rumor has it that he has killed undying existences . His methods are hard to understand . ” An elder shook his head, telling everyone that this monument considered the tester’s age, cultivation realm, and other factors before making a final ranking .

“Let me test my talents a bit,” said a youth . He saw that the two people before him tested strength and ended up like this, so he immediately didn’t have confidence there anymore . He wanted to test his talents .

However, he was left disappointed . He couldn’t leave a name behind .

The youth stood there is a listless manner . He was known as a genius back in his sect and became the direct line of descent inheritor . In the future, he would grasp an inheritance, yet he was nothing here .

Then, many others walked up, but they all received a psychological blow . They all thought that they were formidable geniuses, but their tests all ended dejectedly .

“Don’t be discouraged, you have to understand that you are comparing yourself with the endless heaven warping geniuses of ten provinces since the ancient era . If a name was truly left behind, then that would be an incredibly grand occasion,” said an elder .

After hearing these words, the youngsters felt a bit better . They were all well-known figures from their sects, so they were proud and arrogant, otherwise, why would they have dared to come to such a dangerous place like Fiend Island . However, their confidence level took a great hit here .

The shy young lady walked up . She looked quite weak, but people noticed that when she tested her natural talents, there was some dao sound vibrating . The precious blood within her released green light .

“Yi, succeeded! It produced a reaction with the monument! You can leave behind your name!” Many people cried out in alarm . There was finally a single person among the group of geniuses here .

A vacant area that was close to the bottom of the monument opened up . It was bright and dazzling, allowing her to leave behind a name there .

“Hurry, write your name,” the elder next to her said, seeming extremely excited .

The young lady was pleasantly surprised . Her fingers trembled slightly as she wrote down the two words ‘Qing Yu’ . Then, the multicolored light faded, carving it into the enormous monument .

“She… is actually Qing Yu, Flood Dragon Race’s well known genius young lady! Her name has shaken all of Five Elements Province, someone everyone has heard of!”

Everyone became a bit speechless . Even this type of young lady whose reputation shook a province could only barely leave her name in this place . Her ranking wasn’t that high .

As a result, everyone completely gave up . A genius that was at the forefront of a province only had this kind of result .

When everyone looked at the monument again, they all revealed looks of admiration . This was simply an unreachable height . The ancient geniuses of the ten provinces that visited here were truly brilliant, dazzling to the point where people felt an urge to worship them .

This was especially true when they saw Qin Hao’s name all the way up there . Everyone’s minds trembled greatly . This person… was in the same world as them!

The more they understood, the more fear they felt . The difference between themselves were too great .

“Immortal Mountain is truly formidable… They actually produced such a monster, one with natural talents ranked number one since ancient times!”

Everyone said softly . They all vented out their bitter feelings . When they first saw this monument, they didn’t think much of it, but now, they all felt a wave of pressure weighing down on their chests, as if they were faced against an undying legend .

Qin Hao’s ranking in talent was higher than Immortal Heavenly Deity Qin Changsheng, ranked number one alongside two other individuals .

The names of the two others were unfamiliar, all ancient people that had not been talked about in the later world . Legends had it that they were pseudonyms . They might have came from Heavenly Country, Immortal Palace, or places like that .

“Formidable, the Qin Clan is definitely going to achieve greatness . No one can stop him . He even surpassed Qin Changsheng! In the future, no one can predict what kind of realm he will reach,” the green haired old woman said .

“This is someone extremely lucky . He will definitely become a world shaking forbidden existence,” an elder added .

“Do not feel discouraged . That youth has two immortal bones himself, a king among innate supreme beings . His rivals are not confined to this era, and he instead looks to surpass the ancient and present!”

A few older generation figures said to help the youngsters here become less dispirited . Some people are destined to devour mountains and rivers with their might and overlook the three thousand provinces, both ancient and modern . They were blessed with wonderful talents .

This wasn’t something any of them could do anything about . No one could stop their rise to power .

“Why didn’t he test his strength?” A youngster asked in a soft voice .

“Rumor has it that his two bones haven’t fully resonated with each other yet, and that they are still growing and harmonizing . After a period of time, he will come back to take the number one ranking of the ten provinces’ power ranking,” said an older generation figure .

When everyone heard this, they opened their mouths, but they found it difficult to say anything . What kind of arrogance and splendidness was that?

“Is there anyone else that wishes to give it a try?”

There were several hundred people who gathered here . They all came along the heavenly river . Many people already tested themselves, so now, there were only Shi Hao and a few other individuals who hadn’t moved yet .

“Brother, why don’t you give it a try?” Someone urged Shi Hao .

“Right? Don’t be embarrassed . ” The nearby people said . They all tested themselves already, but only the Flood Dragon Race’s Qing Yu could leave her name here .

“It’s alright, I shouldn’t go up and embarrass myself . ” Shi Hao smiled and shook his head . With so many people watching, he didn’t want to attract too much attention .

He believed that he could leave his name up there . This was his confidence .

“Che, coward, don’t even have the courage to do this . ” A young lady said with disdain .

Shi Hao’s expression remained calm, not minding this provocation .

“Youngster, you are too lacking in confidence . Regardless of whether you succeed or not, it is still an experience . What harm is there in just trying it out?” An elder said while holding his beard .

“This is also a type of self-knowledge . It is better to lose face than to not participate . ” Someone sneered .

Everyone shook their head, no longer paying attention to him .

The others had pretty much already completely tested themselves . In the end, the monument remained calm . However, those with sharp eyes noticed that the Taotie, and Ancient Golden Luan Race’s two geniuses’ names had already been carved here .

“Yi, they came here a long time ago . How powerful!”

“These two’s rankings aren’t that low either!”

—

Finally, the people dispersed, following the brilliant heavenly river back in search of great natural luck . They wanted to see if they could find the immortal tomb .

After a long time had passed, this place became peaceful . Apart from Shi Hao, everyone else had left .

Shi Hao walked around this monument and used his hand to tap it . A metallic sound was produced one that was quite sharp and clear . It was sturdy and undying .

He didn’t want to test talent or potential, because that required allowing the monument’s symbols into his body . This was full of unknown factors . He wasn’t willing to be pried into by the monument .

“I even lost my supreme being bone twice, so there’s no point in testing those things . ” Shi Hao said to himself .

He stood in front of the heavenly monument . Finally, he cleared his mind, and then his body began to shine . With a low roar, he exerted force . With a hong sound, he struck the divine monument!

Brilliant divine multicolored light rushed into the sky . The ancient monument resonated, scattering down great dao flowers one after another . Then, immortal light shone brilliantly, drowning out this place!

Shi Hao took to the sky to gently carve a name .

“What happened?” Several hundred li outwards, many people turned around, feeling greatly shocked . An irregular scene was happening at that monument . There seemed to be a person seated on top!

“Go, let’s go back and take a look . ”

There were immediately a few people who came back . They were completely shocked .

“Heavens! That is…”

“This is heaven defying, who is that?!”

“There is someone like this who emerged! They will definitely shake the world!”
