Chapter 427: Top‑tier Monsters Gather

Ultimate Main Road, Gate 108.

At the center of this ultimate Star Domain, one of the most eye‑catching and legendary places is none other than… Tongtian Peak!

It does not sit upon any continent or star; instead, with supreme Great Power, it sprouts directly from the void of the cosmos!

The mountain's enormity is incalculable; its base alone can hold dozens of massive Star Domains, and the towering peak rises upward, piercing the unknown heavens shrouded by Chaos mist and Immortal glow, with no end in sight!

Legend says its summit has reached the source of the Star Sky Ancient Path's law, hiding supreme secrets about transcendence and the ultimate.

The peak displays a hue neither metal nor stone, a dark‑blue that seems to condense eons of change, its surface covered with naturally formed, intricately extreme Dao patterns and ancient carvings.

These markings are not inert; they flow and shift slowly, like the breath of a living being, radiating a massive Great Power that suppresses the heavens and steadies space‑time.

At times, runes imbued with the true meaning of Tiandao flare from somewhere on the peak, turning into streaks of light that surge skyward, provoking sudden insight in observers; at other times, streams of Chaos Qi cascade from the summit, becoming nourishing rain that gives rise to rare celestial blossoms and divine pills.

Here is one of the most important and renowned Dao‑realization sanctuaries and fateful treasure sites on the Ultimate Main Road!

According to ancient lore, Tongtian Peak shares a mysterious karmic link with a supreme being from the Ancient Era who truly dominated the ages; its interior may still retain fragments of that being's insight, perhaps even… inheritance clues!

Each time the Star Sky Ancient Path opens, countless prodigies linger here, trying to seize that fleeting, ethereal chance.

And today, this ancient silent divine mountain welcomes an unprecedented… clamor!

Because a showdown deemed capable of deciding the fate of the younger generation in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths and the Other Shore World—and even influencing the ultimate cosmic order—will unfold here… atop Tongtian Peak!

The two sides of the duel…

Nine Heavens Ten Earths, bearing the Five‑Extremes realm, a fearsome name that shakes the Ancient Path, hailed as the Ye Demon God… Ye Wuque!

Other Shore World, Lord of Eternal Night, the undisputed No. 1 on the Celestial Ladder, proclaimed by the ancient monster as a supreme taboo beast with a presence that dwarfs the ages… Ye Junlin!

On a full‑moon night, the summit duel will both determine superiority and decide life and death!

The news, like a cosmic storm, has already swept across all of Gate 108 and is wildly expanding toward the next stages!

It has drawn the gaze of almost every living being still unfallen and qualified to reach this point on the Ancient Path!

Since several hours ago, with Tongtian Peak as the center, the starry sky within billions of miles has already been… inundated by endless beings from Zhutian Wanjie, of varied forms and strengths!

Yes, inundated!

Everywhere the eye can see is a surging crowd!

Some ride dazzling evanescent divine rainbows, cutting the sky like meteor showers, leaving long light trails; some board towering ancient war‑chariots, tower ships, or celestial palaces, banners fluttering, exotic beasts pulling carts, exuding the majesty of great power; some are more low‑key, hidden within void layers or artifacts, observing silently with Divine Sense; and some even manifest their true forms—colossal primordial beasts as massive as mountains, sacred races bearing luminous wings, abyssal giants wreathed in demonic aura… such spectacles leave eyes unable to take them all in.

Cultivators of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, beings of the Other Shore World, Daoists of the Xuanhuang World, barbarians of the Honghuang World, monks of the Buddhist Realm, swordsmen of the Sword Cultivator world, as well as the demon, spirit, star, and elemental races… all of Zhutian Wanjie's endless peoples and countless customs converge at this moment because of this battle!

The clamor, debates, disputes, the crack of artifacts tearing the air, and the roars of exotic beasts merge into a tidal wave of sound capable of shaking the Star River!

Countless gazes, burning, expectant, tense, uneasy, hostile, curious… like solid beams of light, converge on that towering divine mountain that reaches heaven and earth.

The closer one gets to Tongtian Peak, the higher the density and mass of the beings.

Those bold enough to draw near and watch the battle are at least elites who have passed the first hundred gates and survived countless slaughter eliminations.

The foothill area is already a sea of people, with mixed and overwhelming aura.

Various makeshift viewing platforms, floating celestial islands, and massive meteor‑crater stands crowd the area, packed with silhouettes.

The sound of discussion boils up to fill the sky.

"Look! That's the forbidden heir of a terrifying force from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!"

"Over there is the Young Master of a major power from the Other Shore World! Such thick demonic aura!"

"The great scholar of the Xuanhuang World's Ten Thousand Phenomena Academy has arrived! He crossed over in a vessel of lofty righteous qi!"

Mid‑mountain, the space is relatively open; those who can stand here are already elite among elites, many being leaders of vast realms or core heirs of ancient Dao lineages.

Their aura is dense, their gazes sharp, keeping a wary distance yet all looking forward with anticipation.

From here, the upper half of Tongtian Peak is already hidden in Chaos mist, adding to its mystery.

And the true focal point, the spot from which one can overlook the entire battlefield and clearly witness the summit duel… the best viewing position, naturally… the surrounding area of Tongtian Peak's summit!

Not everyone can set foot here.

Only those whose strength, reputation, and foundation reach monster level, or who have a colossal backing that can intimidate all, qualify to claim a spot here!

At this moment, atop a massive floating platform beneath Tongtian Peak's summit, stabilized by an invisible force field, figures whose aura is as deep as abyss and as bright as blazing light have already arrived.

A Top‑tier Monster from the Honghuang World, bearing an ancient battle body, the Xu Tianhuang once defeated by Ye Wuque.

He sits alone cross‑legged on a protruding red rock, his bronze‑hued flesh shimmering with dark‑gold luster, his qi and blood restrained yet like a coiled dragon in the abyss, appearing as a primeval beast ready to erupt at any moment.

His expression is calm, but within those cold, domineering eyes a flicker of complex light passes now and then, especially when his gaze sweeps the summit, a unabashed yearning subtly flowing.

Not far from him, a graceful figure cloaked in hazy moonlight stands silently.

She wears a plain elegant divine robe, her face veiled by a light gauze; though her full form is unseen, the breathtaking outline and naturally exuded noble, cool aura already stir the heart.

Around her ripples pure, vast divine power, faintly resonating with the surrounding stars.

She is the divine maiden of this generation of the divine race, whose fierce, direct combat style rivals any man and has made her renowned across the heavens… Shen Wuyue!

Under the veil, a pair of brilliant eyes blaze—not at the two about to duel, but with unabashed fiery battle intent, occasionally scanning the Other Shore camps, lingering on those terrifying figures as if selecting prey.

On the Nine Heavens Ten Earths side, the stars also shine brilliantly.

A pure‑blood descendant of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan, an ancient young sovereign who attained the Extreme Realm, the equally dazzling Ao Tianyin on the Ancient Path!

Compared with the past, his aura now is even more steady and vast; his surrounding Dragon Might is condensed like substance, and his golden Dragon Pupils open and close, showing phenomena of sun and moon rising and falling.

He stands among several Nine Heavens monsters, like the Sea‑Calming Divine Needle.

And a mysterious man bearing a sword case; his whole being is like a concealed supreme divine sword—though unsheathed, the faint, chilling sword intent that seems able to cut the cycle of Causality already causes subtle ripples in the surrounding void.

He now runs his hand over the hilt, eyes full of anticipation.

He is the young sovereign of the Nine-Leaf Emperor Sword Vine Clan, one of the Ten Great Emperor Fiend Clans… Jian Wushuang!

And the young sovereign of the Final Demon Bull Clan, named Tun Qiangu, whose massive frame is mountain‑like, muscles coiled like a dragon, a pair of curved black horns atop his head emit destructive power, his breath thunders, radiating a domineering devouring law.

He grins, showing white teeth, appearing quite excited.

Additionally, several young monsters from other imperial families of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, the Supreme Great Sect, or hidden lineages also attend, each bearing extraordinary aura, together forming a solid and dazzling backing for the Nine Heavens camp.
