Chapter 482: Chapter 480: Earth Realm Great Demon Kings Gather, Winds and Clouds Surging in Celestial Origin City

"What’s happening over there? Such a dazzling light!"

"Looking in that direction, it seems to be the location of Celestial Origin City. Has someone inside discovered a supreme treasure?!"

"Let’s go take a look! I feel there must be something unusual going on."

Amidst the rising voices, several members of the Demon Race set off, heading towards Celestial Origin City.

In the mountains, the Celestial Wolf Race, who had arrived not long ago, was also resting in one area.

Sensing the commotion in the sky, Qin Qingqing looked over curiously.

"Huh, there seems to be a very strong pillar of light over there."

Beside Qin Qingqing, the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, Old Man Shan, who was responsible for guarding her, nodded with a somewhat serious expression.

"It seems to be coming from Celestial Origin City. This commotion... is not minor."

Listening to Old Man Shan, Qin Qingqing seemed to understand what this commotion might be due to, and couldn’t help but ask, "Grandpa Shan, do you know what’s going on?"

The old man pondered for a moment before saying, "This kind of phenomenon, I remember, should be related to changes in the Stone Monument ranking, and only a change in the top three can cause such a commotion."

"What... a change in the Stone Monument ranking?!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat. She vaguely... seemed to recall something.

Such a change in the top three of the Stone Monument, didn’t it just occur in our Demon Saint Province before?

That person broke the top three rankings of the Stone Monument, unchanged for over a hundred years, and forcefully took the first place!

And now, even the Stone Monument of Yuan Province has undergone such a change.

Is it that this era has produced numerous young talents capable enough to overthrow the past century, or... is this act also the work of that person named Lu Yan?

Suddenly, Qin Qingqing couldn’t help but recall the silhouette of one person she encountered on the way here earlier in the afternoon.

"Could it really be him? Given his strength, he definitely has the capability to take the first place on Yuan Province’s Stone Monument!"

With this possibility crossing her mind, Qin Qingqing felt her heartbeat quietly quicken.

On her delicate body, those long-lost traces, which had disappeared for a long time, seemed to stir up some heat again.

Though somewhat reluctant to admit it, Qin Qingqing found that she could inadvertently recall that person.

And the words spoken on that day when he left, she still remembered very clearly.

"He is indeed too powerful."

Interested in seeing for herself, Qin Qingqing looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa Shan, shall we go take a look too?"

She had a premonition that this commotion was very likely caused by the same person.

Watching the demons who were also planning to head towards Celestial Origin City, the old man thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It wouldn’t hurt to go take a look."

The next moment, two figures leapt from the mountains, swiftly heading towards Celestial Origin City.

...

Meanwhile, within Celestial Origin City, a massive golden pillar of light shot into the sky.

Standing over seventy meters high, even if separated by several hundred miles, it could be seen in the night sky.

Inside the city, a crowd was already stirred, even the Celestial Origin City Lord, who had reached the Middle Stage of the Earth Realm, hurried over, gazing at the scene before him.

"My Celestial Origin City’s Stone Monument has actually replaced the first place tonight?!"

The Celestial Origin City Lord’s face was a bit grave. He thought that during his term, such a thing could never happen.

Before him, the name displayed upon ascending the ranks was Lu Yan, Mortal Realm Eighth Layer.

He seemed much lower than his own realm, yet gave the Celestial Origin City Lord an indistinct feeling...

That his strength was actually above his own!

"Lu Yan... this name doesn’t ring a bell. Where did he suddenly come from?"

The Celestial Origin City Lord frowned slightly, suddenly recalling a news report from outside almost two months ago.

"I remember, just over a month ago, the intelligence network from Demon Saint Province brought me news of a new number one on the Demon Saint Stele List, who was also called Lu Yan?!"

Instantly, the Celestial Origin City Lord revealed a trace of shock—could it be that he has come to Yuan Province to continue with the same?

As for it being a coincidence, that possibility was immediately disregarded.

At this level of cultivation realm, it’s almost impossible to have another person with the same name.

"Ascending to the top of two Stone Monuments consecutively, does he intend to conquer all seven ancient Stone Monuments?"

With this thought emerging, the Celestial Origin City Lord shook his head. Even if he plans to do so, as long as he has the strength, it’s rightfully his.

And the reason for doing so, the Celestial Origin City Lord could understand—it was nothing but to leave his name in history and perhaps earn the feedback rewards from the Stone Monument.

Young people, if they don’t have a bit of momentum, what else can one call them.

Just at this moment, the Celestial Origin City Lord’s expression suddenly turned serious as several powerful auras were approaching from the horizon.

"Why are there so many powerful Demon Race auras?"

Thinking for a moment, the Celestial Origin City Lord remembered that it was probably the time for that hundred demon assembly.

"I see why there are suddenly so many powerful demons appearing."

As if realizing something, the Celestial Origin City Lord immediately rose into the air and said, "Fellow demon friends, long time no see."

These demons, especially the powerful ones, naturally do not adhere to rules like the Human Race cultivators do.

The Celestial Origin City Lord took initiative to rise because he feared these powerful demons might recklessly cause destruction within the city.

"So it is the Celestial Origin City Lord,"

Seeing the Celestial Origin City Lord, also a strong figure in the Earth Realm, appear, these initially somewhat unrestrained demons flying toward the city converged slightly, after all, it was on someone else’s turf.

"City Lord, was it caused by the Celestial Origin Stone Monument?" asked a nearly three-meter-tall Tiger Race shapeshifter.

"That’s correct, it was indeed that. Someone is attempting to take the first position on the Celestial Origin Stele and has already succeeded." Nodding, the Celestial Origin City Lord’s face grew slightly serious.

After a pause, the Celestial Origin City Lord continued, "This person, I imagine you demon friends from Demon Saint Province, might also know."

Upon hearing this, the first few Earth Realm Demon Kings who arrived expressed some doubts.

It was still that Tiger Race Earth Realm Demon King who said, "Don’t keep us guessing, who is it? Let me see if I’ve heard of him."

The Celestial Origin City Lord slowly said, "Lu Yan!"

Originally thinking that after saying it, these demons would be greatly surprised, unexpectedly after hearing it, that Tiger Race demon scratched his head. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I’ve never heard of him..."

Yet, a hint of contemplation appeared on the face of a nearby Spirit Cat Race Earth Realm Grandmaster, it seemed she had heard the name before.

Suddenly, this Spirit Cat Race Earth Realm Grandmaster remembered.

"I recall, a while ago, there was indeed a newcomer who also soared to the first place on the Demon Saint Stele in Demon Saint Province."

"That Human Race cultivator’s name... was also Lu Yan!"
