The rules are simple.


    Each country and n will put forth thirtypetitors for a random draw.


    Participants from the same country and n won''t face each other to avoid internal conflicts, and the one standing at the end will be the winner of thispetition.


    The rules are fair, and no one has objections. Whether one can win depends on their own strength, as this setup helps to avoid fratricide.


    "Let thepetition begin!"


    Thepetitors hand over their roster to Dawu and thepetitionmences.


    All eyes first focus on the preliminary battles.


    Ten battles on ten battlefields are held concurrently, and this time, at least dozens of forces from Dawu have gathered together.


    In the first battle of the first round, no prodigies of Dawu were selected. However, a representative each from Tianhong n and Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty took the stage.


    The talents of the Celestial Gods are indeed formidable. Although their opponents were powerful six-star talents that rival the Xuanzun Dynasty, carefully handpicked, they were defeated within a few moves when facing talents from the Celestial God''s n.


    In the second round draw, a prodigy from Dawu was selected.


    This person was called Zeng Shan. At the tender age of neen, under the cultivation of Dawu, he had already reached the God Position. He is one of the top ten selected under the age of twenty in the six domains of Dawu.


    In reality, the three levels of cultivation corresponding to thispetition are God Position, Connecting to God, and Illusionary God.


    Zeng Shan appeared as sturdy as a bull, emitting a wild aura. Since young, he was extremely strong and tough-skinned. Influenced by the human Tao River, he surprisingly manifested a special physique called "Primitive Saint Body".


    "Primitive Saint Body."


    Chu Yuan looked towards Zeng Shan.


    Ever since he learned of the numerous special physiques in Dawu, he had already formed a n in his heart: to dispatch officials from the Household Department to conduct a census and report the special physiques in the country.


    He wanted to do a good screening.


    "The opponent in Dawu''s battle is a prodigy from Tianhong n."


    "Despite Tianhong n being a powerful Celestial God n, the quality of their prodigies is undoubtedly a notch higher than those from the six-star forces. Only a few individuals with extraordinarily transcendent abilities canpare with them."


    "Let''s watch and see how formidable Dawu''s main force can be!"


    Everyone is eagerly anticipating.


    They see a young man in golden attire from Tianhong n stepping onto the battlefield.


    People naturally strive for greater heights, and talents tend to gather in stronger forces, rarely stooping to weaker ones.


    Better to be a chicken''s head than a phoenix''s tail—this saying refers to the mediocre.


    "Dawu''s prodigy!"


    Although the prodigy from Tianhong n is arrogant, he is no less vignt. These people from Dawu are too unpredictable. Looking at Zeng Shan, he feels as if he is facing a wild giant beast, as if Zeng Shan''s broad palm could smash a mountain into pieces.


    "Mountain-Crushing Palm!"


    The Tianhong n prodigy''s Mana vibrates. He is only twenty years old but has reached the God Position, which makes him arrogant enough. When his Mana vibrates, a burst of Mana force is released, and instantly strikes towards Zeng Shan.


    Zeng Shan''s skin suddenly changes, bizarrely taking on the color of rock.


    He puffs out his chest, apparently ready to take the strike head-on.


    "He''s actually not dodging!"


    The crowd gasps.


    "Great opportunity!"


    Mountain-Crushing Palm is like a storm, morphing into countless palm shadows.


    But to the disbelief of the Tianhong n prodigy, his palm prints seem to be hitting a piece of iron, with the opponent seemingly unshaken.


    Zeng Shan waves his giant hand, activating his Primitive Saint Body. His palm directly strikes the prodigy from Tianhong n, sending him flying off the battle tform.


    He had still held back, or else the opponent''s body would have exploded into a blood mist in mid-air.


    The Tianhong prodigy was defeated, sent flying with just one palm strike from Zeng Shan.


    "Dawu''s prodigy is too powerful!"


    Everyone looked at Zeng Shan. This was the strength of the main team, not because the geniuses of Tianhong n were weak, but because the geniuses of Dawu were too strong. The two were not in the same league at all.


    Thepetition continued, and Dawu''s chosen geniuses sessively took the stage.


    Their strength shocked everyone. Regardless of whether they faced the Tianhong n or the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, no one could withstand their strikes. It was as if the geniuses of the Celestial God power were like paper, unable to disy their own strength at all.


    Chu Yuan seated on the throne, watched this scene without surprise.


    The River of Human Dao is the most potent human power, and it had fully unlocked the potential within these young individuals.


    Moreover, Dawu has a plethora of elixirs. After selecting the geniuses during this time period, Chu Yuan picked out several suitable prescriptions from the Taiyi Pill Furnace for them to use. Depending on their physical constitution, they were taught ordingly. The aplishments achieved through this method surpass those made after decades of hard cultivation by other geniuses.


    Why are the geniuses of Celestial n formidable?


    Isn''t it because they have abundant resources?


    But even with their abundant resources, they wouldn''t be willing to give the Imperial divine elixir to these geniuses.


    With great momentum, thepetition stage erupted in cheers.


    Dawu''s geniuses were breaking and pulling up withered trees as if they were rotten ones, defeating their opponents decisively, and bringing glory to Dawu!


    "Your Majesty, this is Jing Wei, the genius of my Yan Yue n."


    Luo Yueying pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the battle tform.


    Jing Wei was their fully nurtured genius during her time in Yan Yue n, and now that she has received Dawu''s training, she has made leaps and bounds.


    Her opponent was from the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, who immediately unleashed a forbidden technique upon seeing Jing Wei.


    He was instructed by Teng Sen, whenever he meets someone from Dawu, to immediately use the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty''s forbidden technique. Afterwards, the n wouldpensate for his loss.


    There was no other way, Dawu was in high spirits, and up till now, no one could stop their continuous victories. Tianhong n and Demon Abyss n were like stepping stones for them, being tread upon by Dawu for them to rise to the top, expanding their fame.


    The Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty naturally wouldn''t be willing.


    This person unleashed the forbidden technique and rushed towards Jing Wei, demonstrating a ruthlessly barbaric style of fighting, where blood is repaid with blood, and teeth with teeth.


    However, Jing Wei executed a set of Yan Yue swordsmanship, which was extremely ethereal and elegant. Her gaze turned towards the Martial Emperor on the throne, admiration disyed in her eyes.


    "This Jing Wei is not bad, she''s worth nurturing." Chu Yuan agreed.


    He saw that although Jing Wei faced the Demon Abyss genius''s brutal and storm-like offensive, she remainedposed from beginning to end, continuously dodging and weaving. In the end, with one sh, she cut through the Demon Abyss genius from abdomen to chest, as if slicing him open.


    Without a doubt, the genius of the Demon Abyss was defeated.@@novelbin@@


    Gongsun Hong and Teng Sen had dark faces.


    At this moment, they had a sense ofmiseration.


    Originally, they were confident that with their n''s strength, dealing with Dawu would be a sure catch. However, reality had taught them severely. Their people, when encountering Dawu''s geniuses, consistently lost, and were no match for them at all.


    What kind of method did Dawu use to train their geniuses to be so formidable?


    They couldn''t figure it out


    But Chu Yuan knew. Resources were only one part of it. The most significant gap was that they didn''t have the River of Human Dao.


    The River of Human Dao was key to widening the gap between them.


    Plus, as Dawu''s national power continues to increase, the River of Human Dao bes more powerful, and sooner orter it would, like the Origin River of the Ice Dao, transform into an Origin River spanning infinitely through the cosmos!


    Think about it, how terrifying would it be for the people of a country to be immersed in an Origin River, and moreover, a river most suited for humans!


    "Dawu!"


    "Dawu!"


    "Dawu!"


    The Imperial City was seething. The first round of the minorpetition ended quickly. The formation transmitted the scene of the battle clearly. Dawu, with its overwhelming strength, defeated all the geniuses and seized first ce!


    Cheers were heard everywhere!


    The excited citizens were everywhere!


    Countless citizens saw their own geniuses proudly standing on the stage, as if they themselves were standing there, filled with pride and honor! Read new chapters at empire
