Chapter 201: The Six Kingdoms War Begins
Just as the participants from the Six Great Divine Nations were following the seven-colored beam of light toward the Patrolling Celestial World, individuals from the four advanced worlds—the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, the Canglan River Realm, the Ancient Primordial World, and the Fangcun Spirit Realm—also set off simultaneously.

The delegates from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm heading to the Patrolling Celestial World were thirty-six Thunder Spirits. Thunder Spirits, high-level lifeforms with Thunder Attributes, can be regarded as the ultimate manifestation of the Thunder Element.
The Canglan River Realm sent thirty-six Bright Water Dragons. The Bright Water Dragon race governs the Canglan River Realm, with the Domain Lord being the Clan Leader of the Dragon Race. Bright Water Dragons are divided into Law Dragons and War Dragons. Law Dragons resemble the Azure Dragon, a Divine Beast of the Pangu Realm, with long bodies, horns, scales, and four claws.
War Dragons, on the other hand, are more dinosaur-like, either incredibly tough with immense strength, or with sharp teeth, fierce claws, and thick armor. This time, the Canglan River Realm's participants in the trial were eighteen Law Dragons and eighteen War Dragons.
As for the Ancient Primordial World, it was thirty-six Buddhas! Buddhism has long controlled the Ancient Primordial World, and similar to the Myriad Spirits Realm, it's the birthplace of the orthodox Buddhist Law in the universe. Although Buddhism holds a dominant position in the Ancient Primordial World, it isn't absolute. There are also significant powerhouses like the Demon Sect, Taoism, etc.
However, these forces are almost all deferential to Buddhism, effectively acting as its affiliates.
Among the thirty-six Buddhas this time, there was one that Wukong knew very well, down to his bones. No matter how much Sun Wukong thought about it, he couldn't guess that this person would appear here.
As for the last of the high-level worlds, the Fangcun Spirit Realm, the participants weren't as absolute. However, they shouldn't be underestimated either. As the strongest in combat power among the four advanced worlds, each individual from the Fangcun Spirit Realm is an unparalleled master.
Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Fangcun Spirit Realm, their understanding of the Space Law far surpasses that of other Divine Kingdoms or advanced worlds. It's worth mentioning that among the participants from the Fangcun Spirit Realm, there was also one person with a significant history with Sun Wukong.
It can be said that this person's willingness to partake in the trial was solely to meet with Sun Wukong.
In an instant, forces from all ten directions, three hundred and sixty of the current universe's top powerhouses, were all heading towards the same destination: the Patrolling Celestial World.
However, due to the distant location of the Patrolling Celestial World, these three hundred and sixty individuals, divided into ten directions, would need to fly through the void for a full seven days to reach their destination.
Once these three hundred and sixty top-tier powerhouses reach the Patrolling Celestial World, it will be a brutal struggle for supremacy, where each person, whether for the honor and benefits of their own faction, for the final reward of the Heavenly Patroller, or simply to survive, will fight with all their might, engaging in fierce combat.
On the third day after these individuals left, the central region of the six planets belonging to the Six Great Divine Nations, a mid-sized world called the Sand Realm, finally welcomed guests from the Six Great Divine Nations after countless years.
The Six Kingdoms War was also about to begin!
Originally, after receiving the orders from the Heavenly Patroller, the Domain Lords of the Six Great Divine Nations had prepared to cancel or postpone this session of the Six Kingdoms War. But at that moment, the Heavenly Patroller once again sent a messenger with an order.
The order demanded that the Six Kingdoms War proceed as scheduled and that this session would take place on a planet called the Sand Realm. What made the six Domain Lords take this seriously was the direct impact of the final ranking of this Six Kingdoms War on those participating in the trial of the Patrolling Celestial World. As for the nature of this impact, even the messenger did not know.
Even without knowing the specifics, the six Domain Lords could not afford to take it lightly. In a way, this Six Kingdoms War could prove to be more critical than the Patrolling Celestial World trial itself.
The outcome of the Six Kingdoms War directly affected the trial in the Patrolling Celestial World, and the results of the trial would, in turn, affect the ranking and interests of the ten forces for the future.
Therefore, the delegates chosen for this session of the Six Kingdoms War were arguably the strongest ever seen. And for the four advanced worlds, who were initially high-level worlds and now prepared to ascend to Divine Kingdoms, their participants in the trial would not be affected at all.
In other words, individuals from the four advanced worlds within the ten forces would participate in the trial without any impact, whereas those from the Six Great Divine Nations would be affected differently based on the results of the Six Kingdoms War. Although the nature of this impact was unknown, it could be guessed to be either positive or negative.
The implication is that the Divine Kingdom ranking first in the Six Kingdoms War is likely to receive a batch of elixirs or weapons and armor as rewards, while the one finishing last might have some elixirs stripped away or see an increase in the difficulty of their trials. Anyway, each Divine Kingdom and high-level world has its pros and cons, and no one should envy anyone else.
Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness of the Six Kingdoms War, a Heavenly Patroller specifically sent a powerful individual known as the Judge to the Sand Realm to oversee this Six Kingdoms War. This so-called Judge, whose strength is unfathomable, is beyond the comprehension of even the six Guardians sent by the Six Great Divine Nations.
The Six Kingdoms War originally had two forms; one was where each Divine Kingdom sent out five Nine Patterns Supreme or above but below Seven Taoist Spells Supreme individuals for a round-robin battle.
This involved the Six Great Divine Nations pairing off to fight, with the five chosen individuals taking turns in battle, where the winner would continue, and the loser would be replaced by the next person until one side was completely eliminated.
The other form was legion combat, which was the bloodiest form of battle in the Six Kingdoms War. It continued until one side was completely annihilated; the order of annihilation determined the rankings of each Divine Kingdom.
However, due to the involvement of the Heavenly Patroller, the rules of this session of the Six Kingdoms War have changed. This session adopted a survival mode. The entire Sand Realm served as the battlefield where each of the Six Great Divine Nations chose twelve individuals to remain in the Sand Realm.
All others must leave, and the entire Sand Realm would be sealed off by a barrier erected by the Judge, with nobody allowed to enter or leave.
The sole purpose of those remaining in the Sand Realm was to strive to stay alive. After three days, rankings would be determined based on the number of survivors from the Six Great Divine Nations. If the numbers were the same, rankings would be based on the number of Domain Beads each possessed.
If the number of Domain Beads was also the same, rankings would be determined based on the severity of injuries among all survivors, with those less injured ranking higher.
The Domain Bead is the inner core of a so-called World Beast. Although extremely precious, this Domain Bead serves as a token of contention and a signal during the Six Kingdoms War. 'Signal' because once there are two or more Domain Lords in the same world, they will sense and connect with each other, and those possessing the Domain Bead would easily find others holding a Domain Bead.
Therefore, the existence of Domain Beads adds countless variables to this Six Kingdoms War and eliminates any strategies of those planning to hide as soon as they enter the Sand Realm. Even if one wanted to hide, they would have to find a safe place to do so. This is also why the Sand Realm was chosen for the Six Kingdoms War.
The Sand Realm is a special world, uninhabited and completely dominated by species known as Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms, both of which are life forms evolved to an extreme, remarkably formidable.
Once everyone had arrived, the Judge, without any hesitation, handed a Domain Bead to each person and with a sweep of his hand, six Teleportation Arrays suddenly appeared, and the seventy-two individuals from the Six Kingdoms were randomly teleported to various locations within the Sand Realm.
Seeing the Judge act so decisively, without even uttering a word of beginning or any piece of advice, without asking if anyone was prepared, he simply distributed the Domain Beads and initiated the competition.
After teleporting away these seventy-two individuals, the Judge's unemotionally steady eyes turned toward the six Guardians of the Six Great Divine Nations behind him. The six Guardians understood the signal, indicating that it was time for everyone to leave. Without hesitation, they all departed the Sand Realm using their own methods.
No one knew if a slower departure might provoke an attack from this supremely powerful Judge.
Netherworld Guardian Star Sinker, at the very last moment before leaving, gazed down at the endless expanse of desert below and murmured, "Demon Emperor, you must not die!" With that, he entered the void, leaving the place.
The Six Kingdoms War had begun, and those participating in the Patrolling Celestial World's trials were also en route, due to arrive in four days. These two events could be considered major occurrences throughout the universe, but concurrently, a monumental upheaval was taking place in the Pangu Realm as well.
In the Heavenly Palace, upon the dragon throne in Lingxiao Palace, sat a figure at this moment. Flanking this person were two individuals, one on each side. On the left was a very handsome young man, clad in silver armor, his face brimming with smiles. On the right was a beautiful woman dressed in green, barefoot, with pink hair cascading down to her waist.
In the center of the grand hall, another woman was tightly bound, but she had already fainted.
