Invincible Over the World-Chapter 1693 - 1685: Who Is It?

"Someone’s already reached the Third Level! How is this possible? The entrance has been open for less than an hour now!"

Although only genius disciples below the Great Emperor Realm and above the Heavenly Monarch Realm, with a bone age under a million years, can enter the Holy Mountain, there are still quite a few geniuses meeting this criteria in the Hell Three Worlds.

Now, with the entrance open for less than an hour, there are still many genius disciples urgently scrambling to enter the First Level.

Yet now, someone has already made it to the Third Level!

"Back then, the fastest to traverse the Holy Mountain was City Lord Qin Fan from the Ghost World. However, it took him more than a day just to get through the Second Level! This record has stood for countless billions of years, unbroken! Now someone has made it in under an hour!"

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! Who could it be? Who! Could it be Emperor Qin’s son? Emperor Qin’s son is the child of City Lord Qin Fan, and his talent is no less than City Lord Qin Fan’s was back then!"

Some of the strong figures from the Ghost World believe that the one who broke through the Second Level in just under an hour must be their top genius, Emperor Qin’s son.

"Although Emperor Qin’s son is indeed talented, he can’t possibly compare to our Young Master. The one who broke through the Second Level must be our Song Litao, Young Master of the Slaughter God Sect!" Some skilled members of the Slaughter God Sect sneered at this.

"Emperor Qin’s son and Song Litao are nothing. Our Young Clan Leader is hailed as the Dual Young Emperor of the Undead Realm, not only the first genius of the Undead Realm but also the first genius of Hell. The one who passed the Second Level must be our Young Clan Leader!" Master figures from the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Clan remarked.

In their eyes, that person must surely be Shi Yinyu.

Not far away, the four Primordial Giants Tai Yue exchanged glances.

"Do you think this person could be our master?" Golden Lion Man Wan Yutian hesitated.

"Hard to say." Primordial Giant Tai Yue shook his head. Although he knew their master’s talent was peerless, figures like Emperor Qin’s son, Shi Yinyu, Song Litao, He Jingyi, Peng Zhengfei, Wu Deng, and Ji Chen also possessed unmatched talents.

Moreover, breaking through the Holy Mountain doesn’t necessarily mean that better talent results in faster progress; there are numerous factors involved.

Just as everyone was shocked and discussing, suddenly, the light within the Second Level of the Holy Mountain began swirling with intensity.

Everyone paused—someone had broken through the First Level and reached the Second Level!

"Could it be our Young Clan Leader, the second to break through the First Level?"

"I think it’s our Young City Lord!"

"It’s our Young Palace Master!"

Strong figures from all sides speculated again, but this time, the people from Ghost Realm Fengdu City were correct—the second to break through the First Level was Emperor Qin’s son from the Ghost World!

At this moment, Emperor Qin’s son arrived at the Second Level, facing a radiant golden light and two condensed Holy Fruits.

"I... I broke through the First Level in less than an hour, faster than my father back then, yet I wasn’t first?!" Emperor Qin’s son looked at the two Holy Fruits before him, finding it hard to believe.

Initially, after defeating the Illusion Sea Butterfly on the First Level, he was confident he would be first.

Collecting the two Holy Fruits, the smile on Emperor Qin’s son’s face diminished significantly.

"Who could it be? Could it be Shi Yinyu?" Emperor Qin’s son furrowed his brow.

Though Song Litao, He Jingyi, Peng Zhengfei, Wu Deng, and Ji Chen also possessed remarkable talent, only Shi Yinyu could rival him, so to him, the first to break through the First Level must have been Shi Yinyu.

"In that case, for the Second Level, I must claim the first position!" Emperor Qin’s eyes flashed with determination as he soared towards the Third Level entrance.

Soon after Emperor Qin’s son had entered the Second Level, Shi Yinyu arrived, brimming with confidence.

But upon seeing only one Holy Fruit in front of him, he couldn’t help but be stunned—did he see it wrong? Just one? Shouldn’t there be three?

His speed in breaking through the First Level was comparable to that of Qin Fan back then!

"No, how could it be just one!" After confirming there was indeed only one Holy Fruit, Shi Yinyu’s face turned grim.

"Is the first Emperor Qin’s son? But who is second? Could it be Song Litao or He Jingyi?" Shi Yinyu’s eyes grew icy.

Damn it!

After a while, finally, Song Litao, filled with joy, arrived at the Second Level. Although he was slower than Huang Xiaolong, Emperor Qin’s son upon entry, he was still satisfied with his speed in breaking through the First Level. While he took a little over an hour, it was not much slower than Emperor Qin’s time back then.

Arriving at the Second Level, he awaited the appearance of the Holy Fruits.

He wondered if there would be three, or perhaps two? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Given my speed on the First Level, there shouldn’t be just one." Song Litao assessed.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement ahead, nor any sign of the Holy Fruits—not three, not two, not even one appeared.

Song Litao’s face gradually darkened, his expression growing increasingly grim, until he roared with anger like a wounded beast.

"No!"

The sound reverberated for a long, long time.

The Holy Fruits hadn’t appeared, but the Hell Beasts from the Second Level had—bearing down on him one after another.

Facing the attacking Hell Beasts, Song Litao threw a vicious punch and shouted furiously: "Get the **** out of here!"

"Who on earth took my first, my second!? Who? Is it Emperor Qin’s son and Shi Yinyu?!"

Soon after, the fifth person to arrive at the Second Level was He Jingyi from the Smoke Water Palace, the sixth was Peng Zhengfei, a direct disciple of Lu Kun, the seventh was Wu Deng from the Wu Kun Family, and the eighth was Ji Chen from Sacrificial Heaven City of the Ghost World.

He Jingyi, Peng Zhengfei, Wu Deng, and Ji Chen reached the Second Level with joyful faces, but when the Holy Fruits failed to appear for a long time, their smiles froze.

Each began guessing who was first, second, and third in breaking through the First Level.

After speculating, they each quietly vowed to claim the first or second position on the Second Level!

The early levels, for them, were easiest to break through, and also most crucial—for the less time spent on these early levels, the better their rankings in the subsequent levels.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong was on the Third Level, facing ten thousand Heavenly Monarch Third-stage Middle Lizard Dragon Beasts. These Lizard Dragon Beasts had extremely strong defenses and terrifying attacks; the only weakness was their somewhat slower speed, although they were still much faster than the Heavenly Monarch Third-stage Early White Bone Beasts of the Second Level.

Huang Xiaolong continued to wield his Thunder Cloud.

Even though Huang Xiaolong had broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Third Stage, the divine power consumption when killing these Lizard Dragon Beasts was still considerable.

Moreover, the problem within the Holy Mountain was not only being unable to use Divine Artifacts but also unable to consume Spirit Pills to replenish divine power.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body had an exceptionally fast recovery rate.

As each Heavenly Monarch Third-stage Middle Lizard Dragon Beast was killed by Huang Xiaolong, the Holy Mountain Energy they transformed into was continuously absorbed and refined by him—the energy from the Third Level Lizard Dragon Beasts was far superior to that from the Second Level White Bone Beasts.

When Huang Xiaolong had killed all ten thousand Lizard Dragon Beasts on the Third Level, his strength improved significantly compared to when he first entered the Third Level, already nearing the Heavenly Monarch Third Stage Early Stage Peak.
