Chapter 906: Boundless Ravine

At the border between Tianyuan Region and the Three Mountains Alliance, a massive rift tears through the mountain range, forming an abyss so deep its bottom is invisible, separating Tianyuan Region from the Three Mountains Alliance.

This boundless abyss, stretching endlessly and unfathomably deep, is called the Boundless Chasm.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Saints once battled here, and the Boundless Chasm was created by a single tear from a Saint’s finger. If true, this offers a glimpse into the power of a Saint, capable of reshaping the world with just a touch.

This precise location, at the border of Tianyuan Region and the Three Mountains Alliance, typically doesn't attract many visitors. However, over the past month, it has become a gathering point for countless forces from Tianyuan Region and surrounding areas. On both sides of the chasm, throngs of people cover the mountainsides, a chaotic and diverse mix.

This clearly illustrates how much attention Zhou Yuan and Chen Xuandong's battle has garnered.

This is understandable, as everyone knows that while on the surface it's a clash between two young Divine Dwelling Realm cultivators, it's actually a power struggle between an emerging top force and the established Nine Regions. Its immense implications are clear to any discerning observer.

On either side of the Boundless Chasm, there were two sizable groups of people. These forces were well-equipped and formidable, each member exuding powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations. Both in terms of composition and numbers, they vastly surpassed the various spectators who had gathered with their own agendas.

These two groups were, naturally, the forces of Tianyuan Region and the Three Mountains Alliance.

By choosing this location for the combat, both sides had naturally dispatched personnel early to clear and secure the area, preventing any clandestine schemes from the other party, and also guarding against various other factions seizing the opportunity to cause trouble.

Even across the vast chasm, these two forces, thanks to their formidable strength, could still fix their gazes on each other. Their clashing eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent; if they were placed together, a true battle would likely have erupted long ago.

After all, to the people of Tianyuan Region, the Three Mountains Alliance was simply ill-behaved, daring to provoke them.

The Three Mountains Alliance, conversely, was ambitious and unwilling to submit to its former 'big brother.' Through years of biding their time and forging alliances, their strength grew daily, creating a stark contrast with the increasingly weakened Tianyuan Region. Furthermore, with Grand Elder Cang Yuan, the controller of Tianyuan Region, missing for years and no Saint to suppress them, the Three Mountains Alliance was naturally no longer willing to bow down, pay tribute, or pledge allegiance to Tianyuan Region.

After all, the transcendent status of the Nine Regions was something any force in Hunyuan Heaven deeply coveted, especially top forces like them, who were only second to the Nine Regions.

Both sides eyed each other warily, while most others watched the sky, for today marked the end of the one-month period.

As the sun rose to its zenith, the void on the Three Mountains Alliance's side suddenly began to twist. Immediately, three vast and mighty pressures descended, causing everyone present to involuntarily change their expressions.

Their gaze revealed three figures standing mid-air in the void. No Genesis Qi fluctuations could be detected around them; they appeared as ordinary as common people. Yet, everyone present knew this was because they had perfectly integrated with the heavens and earth. For them, they were the world, and the world was them.

The Genesis Qi of the entire world was under their control, even including the Genesis Qi within the bodies of those present...

This was because they were three Law Domain experts. The moment they appeared, this part of the world had unknowingly fallen under their Law Domain, leaving no one able to escape.

Such was the terrifying might of the Law Domain.

Countless individuals gazed with awe, and even the many powerful figures from Tianyuan Region showed expressions full of apprehension.

These three were, naturally, the three Law Domain experts of the Three Mountains Alliance.

Two elders and one woman.

The Three Mountains Alliance comprised three mountains: Guiyuan Mountain, Moon Palace Mountain, and Black Tortoise Mountain.

Each mountain had a master, who collectively governed the Three Mountains Alliance.

The elder in the center, with his immortal-like demeanor, white hair, and white beard, was none other than the Master of Guiyuan Mountain.

The woman on the right, appearing youthful and exquisitely beautiful with an ethereal aura, was the Master of Moon Palace Mountain.

The hunched elder on the left was the Master of Black Tortoise Mountain.

These three were considered top-tier super experts in Hunyuan Heaven, with formidable reputations.

After the three masters of the Three Mountains Alliance appeared, they swept their sleeves, and the void behind them tore open. A figure slowly emerged, clad in a black robe, holding a black-scaled spear. His posture was as straight as a pine, and his eyes, as he surveyed his surroundings, held an imposing, overbearing aura, like that of a conqueror.

When the black-robed man appeared, a stir immediately rippled through the land.

For this black-robed man was one of today's protagonists: Chen Xuandong of the Three Mountains Alliance!

“What impressive presence! Truly worthy of being ninth on the Divine Dwelling Rankings!” many exclaimed. Chen Xuandong's imposing aura and domineering presence were indeed striking, marking him as a true talent.

Just as the three masters of the Three Mountains Alliance and Chen Xuandong appeared, the void on Tianyuan Region's side also began to ripple. The next moment, five figures materialized out of thin air.

The moment these five figures emerged, the terrifying pressure emanating from the three masters of the Three Mountains Alliance seemed to be suppressed. It began to recede, step by step, eventually retreating to the other side of the chasm.

The three masters of the Three Mountains Alliance narrowed their eyes, gazing at the five figures that had appeared in the distant void.

“To think all five Grand Elders of Tianyuan Region would come, you truly honor our Three Mountains Alliance,” the Master of Guiyuan Mountain said with a smile.

The figures who appeared from Tianyuan Region were naturally Grand Elder Xi Jing, Sect Master Xuan Kun, and three other Grand Elders. Their cold gazes fixed on the three masters of Guiyuan Mountain. “The Three Mountains Alliance is audacious,” Xi Jing stated, “are you not afraid of inviting future trouble and calamity upon yourselves?”

The Master of Guiyuan Mountain chuckled, “It’s merely a spar between juniors. Why exaggerate so? I believe even if Grand Elder Cang Yuan were here, he wouldn't object.”

“Haha, of course, we have always admired Grand Elder Cang Yuan. If the five Grand Elders can invite the Grand Elder out, the three of us will apologize on the spot today.”

Xi Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. Everyone, it seemed, was subtly or openly probing for news about her master.

The Three Mountains Alliance's blatant provocation might well be orchestrated by a powerful hidden hand. After all, news from Zhou Yuan suggested her master wasn't returning to Hunyuan Heaven because powerful entities within Hunyuan Heaven were targeting him.

In Hunyuan Heaven, those capable of making someone like her master wary could likely be counted on one hand. Without the clandestine support of such an entity, the Three Mountains Alliance might not truly have dared to provoke Tianyuan Region.

Xi Jing's gaze shifted slightly, then quickly composed itself. She stated indifferently, “Rest assured, there will be an opportunity in the future.”

The Master of Guiyuan Mountain seemed somewhat regretful, shaking his head. “If that’s the case, then our Three Mountains Alliance will just have to take advantage today.”

He cast his gaze downwards and gave a slight nod to Chen Xuandong.

Under countless gazes, Chen Xuandong first bowed with clasped fists to the three mountain masters in the void. Then, with a swift movement, he appeared directly above the chasm. His domineering eyes turned towards the Tianyuan Region's side, and his voice thundered, “Chen Xuandong of Three Mountains is here! Where is Zhou Yuan?!”

His booming voice, full of challenge, echoed.

As Chen Xuandong's defiant cry reverberated, the void behind Xi Jing slowly tore open. Under countless fervent gazes, a slender young man calmly stepped out.

It was Zhou Yuan!

However, upon seeing Zhou Yuan, the hearts of the Tianyuan Region forces present sank slightly. They noticed that Zhou Yuan was still at the seventh level of the Divine Dwelling Realm...

Zhou Yuan paid no mind to their disappointed glances. His eyes, devoid of emotion, fixed on Chen Xuandong in the distance. His calm voice then resonated across the land.

“Tianyuan Region... Zhou Yuan.”
