Chapter 79: The Divine Beast Clan, the Legend — Mortal Realm Phantom Dragon!

"Quick, issue the promotional announcement for me!"

"Post the prepared ad posters!"

"I want the ad on the TW promotion homepage — make it beautiful, make it eye-catching!"

Ma Ma Kusi issued a flurry of commands.

Knock, knock.

The broadcast studio door was rapped,

and Ma Ma Kusi crossed the room in two quick strides to open it.

"General Manager, my lord!"

He bowed his head in respectful greeting.

"Ma Ma Kusi, are you certain you want to pour all your department's resources into a single person?"

The General Manager looked at Ma Ma Kusi with cold composure.

"I'm certain!"

"General Manager, my lord, if anything goes wrong, I alone will bear the responsibility!"

Ma Ma Kusi answered firmly.

With his career nearing its end, he had long since resolved to stake everything on this gamble.

"A new realm lord, and you not only want to apply for the Brave Lord promotion slot, but the Unyielding Lord slot as well!"

"Do you understand the consequences if the results fall short?"

The General Manager's brow was tightly furrowed.

"I understand."

Ma Ma Kusi kept his head down, like a stubborn rock in the rapids that refuses all counsel.

"Fine. I will report this matter to the President."

With that, the General Manager left the broadcast studio without a backward glance.

Ma Ma Kusi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead,

turned around, and gazed tensely at the live broadcast projection.

He knew —

having thrown everything behind building up Moonfall so unreservedly,

if Moonfall should ever fall from power,

then he would have to pack his bags and get lost as well.

He had to win!

Ma Ma Kusi clenched his fists tight.

Myriad Realms City, first layer, a humble dwelling.

Seven figures emerged in unison from the ripples of space.

"Long Ao, what are you doing picking at those rotten claws of yours? Put your feet down!"

The Machine Clan Divine Throne, Imperial Princess Yevengelin,

frowned prettily at the dragon-headed human-bodied man seated across the table.

"Dragon claws — dragon claws, got it?"

The Divine Beast Clan Divine Throne, Divine Dragon Long Ao, curled his lip and put his feet down.

"Quiet down and watch the match."

"Let's see if we can spot anything this time."

The Red Demon elder waved a hand,

and the projection feed of the TW simulated battle appeared upon the table.

The Red Demon elder, the Angel Ancestral Elder, the Machine Imperial Princess, the Divine Beast Divine Dragon, the Great Demon King, the Heavenly Demon Empress, the Undead Bone Emperor,

The peak figures of the Ten Thousand Realms' seven great clans

were silently watching a contest between small-fry.

They were determined to root out the power hiding behind Moonfall.

……

【Matchmaking complete.】

【Domain "Never Fall" vs "Sky Dominator".】

【ID: Moonfall vs Dragon Clan 009】

【Terrain: Mountain Range】

【Duel begins.】

【Please select domain units for projection.】

"Hello everyone, viewers and friends! I'm your old buddy Brother Bao."

"I've been invited here today to commentate a match from the newcomer (agaa) division."

"Honestly, I've never been too interested in the newcomer division, though lately I've heard about someone called Moonfall who seems pretty impressive."

"A new-generation lord who can match the old lords?"

"To be frank, just hearing that makes me want to laugh."

Bao Bao Yuan launched into his commentary,

and right from the start, he stirred up animosity with impressive precision.

As long as a commentator picks a side, there will be buzz.

Whether you favor someone and predict correctly, you're seen as skilled;

predict wrong, and it's a public face-slap.

Whether it's flattery or kicking someone when they're down, to Bao Bao Yuan, it's all buzz.

Anyway, it's all harmless, perfectly legal stuff;

as long as it's buzz, it's basically profit.

"Our contestant Moonfall has ridden two strokes of dumb luck to a two-win streak."

"Let's take a look at his opponent this time."

As Bao Bao Yuan spoke,

the viewers in the livestream were absolutely fuming.

What did he mean, dumb luck?

They clearly won through strength, alright?

Someone's domain that's only been developing for three months—

give you three months; you try reaching that scale!

Many people, burning with righteous indignation, began flooding the chat.

"Bao Bao Yuan, get lost!"

"Trash commentator, get lost!"

Endless strings of comments flooded the screen, never pausing for a moment.

Especially those new-generation lords who idolized Moonfall—

right now, they were gnashing their teeth in hatred for Bao Bao Yuan.

To them,

inside the Ten Thousand Realms battlefield,

every time they ran into a lord from a previous generation, their hearts would clench with fear.

Even if it was someone of their own race, it wasn't safe.

They lived in terror of the other side leading troops to raze their own domain.

To all new-generation lords, in the Ten Thousand Realms battlefield, previous-generation lords were their enemy!

More terrifying than the monsters lurking in the fog of war.

Therefore,

the emergence of a figure like Moonfall, capable of defeating previous-generation lords,

filled them with boundless excitement, fervor, and even pride.

Look—

we new-generation lords are not the bottom-feeders of the Ten Thousand Realms battlefield!

"Heh heh, everyone's reactions are a bit intense."

"Though your decorum could still use some lowering."

Bao Bao Yuan cracked a grin, and combined with the distinctive markings unique to the Leopard-kin on his face,

he looked exceptionally punchable and hateful.

The torrent of insults flooding the screen didn't bother him in the slightest;

he simply continued his commentary.

"Oh! My heavens!"

"Look, everyone! Moonfall's opponent is the domain 'Sky Dominator'!"

"As we know, 'Dominator' is an appellation from the TW leaderboard."

"This 'Sky Dominator' lord is brimming with heroic spirit! Giving a domain a name like that—he's certainly no ordinary figure."

"Let us all say a little prayer for our young friend Moonfall!"

Dominator?

What's that?

And there's a Heaven's Ladder Ranking too?

The new lords were all baffled. They had never fought in TW simulations,

so how could they know the rules?

The jeering died down considerably in an instant.

It seemed Yueluo's opponent this time really was formidable...

After all, a two-win streak with a 100% win rate —

even if matched against a smurf, it would still be a rather powerful figure among smurfs.

Immediately,

the territory information for "Sky Dominator" was pulled up by Bao Bao Yuan.

Territory "Sky Dominator," lord Long Hong.

Main account ID: Dragon Soars the Nine Heavens.

"Holy shit, this 'Sky Dominator' is actually Long Hong's territory!"

Bao Bao Yuan exclaimed, his expression extremely exaggerated.

His pair of leopard eyes stared blankly.

He was faking it.

As a renowned commentator,

how could he possibly not know about the territory "Sky Dominator"?

This was an existence a mere 200 points away from advancing to "Unyielding Lord."

"Long Hong, of the Divine Beast Clan — one of the seven great races of the Myriad Realms!"

"Look, a Dust-Realm Illusion Dragon flying out from his territory!"

"Dust-Realm Illusion Dragon, flying unit, legendary-tier troop! Special ability: Phantom Doppelganger!"

"They can create phantom copies and freely shift their true body among the illusory duplicates."

"Lock-on type defense tower attacks can't possibly deal any damage to them."

"Tsk tsk... it's game over now."

"All the resources our little Yueluo poured into developing city walls, sniper high towers, and energy-concentrating cannons have become mere decorations, eh."

Bao Bao Yuan tossed out one remark after another,

absolutely hoodwinking the new lords into a dazed stupor.
