When the entire full view of the giant blade completely emerged, Ye Chen, who had been intently staring at the giant blade, suddenly had a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
Ye Chen saw that the entire blade surface was blood-red in color, and atop the giant blade there were numerous, incredibly complex Divine Patterns. However, what drew the most attention was the countless Divine Patterns at the center of the blade.
These countless Divine Patterns at the center of the blade actually directly formed four large characters—"Blood Drinking Divine Blade"!
"Blood Drinking Divine Blade?!"
"Could it be, these four characters, are the name of this blade?!"
"The name ’Blood Drinking’, what a formidable aura!"
Ye Chen’s heart was trembling.
As Ye Chen’s heart quivered, not far from where he was seated, Mo Yuan, Tianyu Beiling, the Little Provincial Princess, and other true deities with significant backgrounds from the Divine Kingdom, all experienced a surge of shock in their hearts.
Originally, upon seeing this giant blade, they had thought of a powerful figure from the Divine Kingdom.
And now, seeing the four characters of "Blood Drinking Divine Blade" on the blade’s surface, their speculation instantly became a certainty.
"It’s indeed the blade of ’Sovereign Feng Luo’!"
"Rumor has it, every time the nine great divine institutes hold assessments, the subsequent ranking battles are always related to a certain Sovereign who had participated in the ancient battle between the Divine Kingdom of Wanyi Mountain and the Nine Desolation Divine Kingdom."
"And ’Sovereign Feng Luo,’ in that battle between the two great Divine Kingdoms, was one of the most outstanding beings. Could it be that this time, the rules for the remaining three rounds of the ranking battles are set according to some aspects of ’Sovereign Feng Luo’?"
Mo Yuan, Tianyu Beiling, and others speculated amongst themselves.
The great battle between the two Divine Kingdoms they were thinking of had occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago between the Divine Kingdom of Wanyi Mountain and the neighboring Nine Desolation Divine Kingdom.
That battle took place precisely in the realm of this shattered ancient battlefield—the assessment ground of the nine great divine institutes.
And the "Sovereign Feng Luo" they referred to was a famously distinguished Nine Stars Sovereign from the Wanyi Mountain Divine Kingdom who had participated in the battle!
It was actually "Sovereign Feng Luo," along with three other Nine Stars Sovereigns, who emerged from their secluded cultivation to join the battle, enabling the Wanyi Mountain Divine Kingdom to completely suppress the Nine Desolation Divine Kingdom, ending a world-shaking war.
Sovereign Feng Luo’s reputation consequently soared even higher throughout the entire Wanyi Mountain Divine Kingdom!
Later, Sovereign Feng Luo even broke through from the Sovereign Realm, becoming an existence that transcended Sovereigns, and left the Wanyi Mountain Divine Kingdom.
As time passed, hundreds of thousands of years went by, and gradually, very few people knew of Sovereign Feng Luo’s name.
Only the descendants of some powerful Sovereigns were aware of such profound secrets.

These descendants of the Sovereign powers had not expected that, in this round of assessments by the nine great divine institutes, they would actually come across the Divine Blade of "Sovereign Feng Luo."
It wasn’t only these offspring of the Sovereign powers.
Even many Sovereigns outside the ancient battlefield, watching the assessments of the nine great divine institutes, were taken aback.
"My heavens, this assessment actually brought out ’Senior Feng Luo’s Divine Blade."
"It seems that the rules of this assessment rank among the highest in so many assessments!"
"Could it be because the Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King are paying attention to this assessment, that they brought out ’Senior Feng Luo’s Divine Blade’? It’s well known that Senior Feng Luo had a significant affiliation with the Northern Territory King’s mansion. It’s rumored that ’Senior Feng Luo’ left behind many things in the Northern Territory King’s mansion, and this Divine Blade is probably one of the numerous treasures!"
Thinking of this, the Sovereigns all looked towards the Northern Territory King.
At this moment, the gaze of the Northern Territory King was fixed on the screen, looking towards Ye Chen amidst the crowd.

"When ’Senior Feng Luo’ left behind countless treasures for my sister years ago, he had said that he left a legacy within the Divine Blade. Only a descendant with talent comparable to my sister’s could take out this blade and unlock the legacy."
"Unfortunately, over the years, only Li’er could be said to have talent comparable to my sister’s. But Li’er is a young girl, utterly unsuitable for ’Senior Feng Luo’s legacy."
"This Ye Chen, to be so highly praised by Li’er, when I asked for this Divine Blade to be brought out using Ye Chen’s experiences, I also successfully managed to bring this blade out."
"Now it remains to be seen if Ye Chen can come across the opportunity to obtain that legacy…"
The thoughts of the Northern Territory King were unknown to the other Sovereigns on the field; even Sovereign Xuechen only knew a little bit.
Many people probably never anticipated that the Northern Territory King would place an inheritance of a nine-starred Sovereign within the assessment of the nine major godly academies.
Though this particular inheritance wasn’t the most valuable among the countless inheritances left by Sovereign Feng Luo, being only of the God King Level,
it was still an inheritance left behind by an entity surpassing the Sovereign Realm.
The value of this was by no means lesser than that of joining one of the nine major godly academies!
If word got out, countless Sovereigns would likely desire this inheritance for their descendants!
Ye Chen, however, had no idea that the Northern Territory King had specifically reserved this opportunity for him.
Of course, even if Ye Chen had known, it was still uncertain whether he could seize this opportunity.
After all, inheritances dubbed ’opportunities’ weren’t something you could obtain just because you wanted to; it also depended on whether you truly had the fortune.
Inside the Second Ancient Battlefield.
As numerous onlookers saw the true form of the Divine Blade for the first time, the six-starred Sovereign presiding over the nine major godly academies’ assessment eventually resumed speaking.
This six-starred Sovereign continued, "The second round of the ranking battle is related to this Divine Blade!"
"This Divine Blade was left by a being beyond the Sovereign Realm belonging to my Myriad Curtains Divine Kingdom, the senior Feng Luo."
As this six-starred Sovereign explained the origin of the Divine Blade, those who knew of its background, such as Mo Yuan and Tianyu Beiling, couldn’t help but have a flash of eagerness in their eyes. Ye Chen, hearing about the origin of the Divine Blade for the first time, was even more profoundly shaken.
A Divine Blade left by a being beyond the Sovereign Realm!
To Ye Chen, this was naturally a staggering revelation.
Then, the Little Provincial Princess sent a voice transmission directly to Ye Chen, "Brother Ye Chen, this senior Feng Luo is really remarkable. He once cultivated at ’Heaven God Mountain’, and after he left the Myriad Curtains Divine Kingdom, his place of cultivation became an infinitely powerful ruin... It is that place referred to by the second demand made of you by the senior Xuechen and the Northern Territory King—the ’Heaven God Mountain’."
The Little Provincial Princess directly shared with Ye Chen what she knew about the affairs of Sovereign Feng Luo.
As the Little Provincial Princess was voice transmitting to Ye Chen, the six-starred Sovereign hosting the assessment continued, "Senior Feng Luo’s Divine Blade contains countless profound secrets, secrets of such a level that you true godly examinees naturally cannot get involved with, nor do you need to."
"This second round of assessment only concerns a very small aspect of this Divine Blade, which is a Heaven-reaching Divine Art left by senior Feng Luo within the blade—the Bloodlight Blade Technique."
"The second round of the assessment will last for one month."
"During this month, you can comprehend this ’Bloodlight Blade Technique’ Heaven-reaching Divine Art beneath the Divine Blade."
"Of course, merely comprehending this divine art is not the entirety of the assessment."
"Within the Second Ancient Battlefield, there exists an ’ancient tomb’ meant for assessment, in which a large number of ’combat puppets’ have been crafted. Once you enter the ancient tomb for the assessment, all your offensive and defensive capabilities will be invalidated. The only means to attack and defend in battle will be the Heaven-reaching Divine Art ’Bloodlight Blade Technique’ from the Divine Blade."
"Your score in the second round will be determined by the number of ’combat puppets’ you defeat."
"The combat puppets in the ancient tomb vary, and so do the assessment points you get from defeating them!"
"Eventually, the total accumulated assessment points earned from defeating combat puppets will determine the rankings."
"From the over nine million of you who have entered the second round of assessment, in the end, only the top hundred thousand from the ranking battle will move on to the third round. Those with equal scores will go through an additional tiebreaker match. In summary, only a hundred thousand individuals will advance to the next round of assessment."
"For the entire month of the second round of assessment, it’s up to you to allocate your time—how much to use for the comprehension of the ’Bloodlight Blade Technique’ and how much to spend entering the ’ancient tomb’ to defeat ’combat puppets’ is your decision."
"If you are defeated by a ’combat puppet’ within the ancient tomb, your Body-protecting Talisman will be automatically activated, ejecting you from the tomb. At that point, the assessment points you have obtained will be finalized."
"Of course, if you are not eliminated, once the month of assessment time ends, everyone will be transported out of the ancient tomb, and the final tally of assessment points will be calculated for the rankings."
At the end, the six-starred Sovereign also made a special reminder, "I need to stress to all of you,"
"during this second round of assessment, you must allocate your cultivation time and combat puppet defeating time wisely."
"If the cultivation time is too long, leaving too little time to defeat combat puppets, the number you defeat will naturally be minimal, resulting in a poor score. Of course, if the cultivation time is too short and your understanding of the ’Bloodlight Blade Technique’ isn’t deep enough, you might quickly be eliminated by the combat puppets, leading to a bad result just the same."
"This assessment will test not only your talents and insight in cultivation but also your combat abilities and strategic understanding."
