Central Region

Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom

Seven Star Divine Kingdom

Asura Divine Kingdom (disbanded)

The **Central Region**, It is where the **Four Great Divine Kingdoms** and the **Sea of Miracles** are situated.

The mainland of the Sky Spill Continent was shaped like a cake with its center dug out; it was in the shape of a ring. The center was an inland sea, and this sea was surrounded by Four Divine Kingdoms.

Because most of the landmarks were focused in this central region, this area had a much higher concentration of spiritual mountains and forests.

The more spiritual lands there were, the thicker and purer the heaven and earth origin energy was, and the more heavenly materials and true essence stone mines there were. Most of the Holy Lands were also located in this area.

Out of all the Holy Lands, the Four Divine Kingdoms were the highest level of existing powers within the Sky Spill Continent.

## **History**

### **Past**

The four Divine Kingdoms were divided into the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom, Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom, Asura Divine Kingdom, and Seven Star Divine Kingdom.

These four great Divine Kingdoms held over a dozen well known and famous Emperor powerhouses. In addition to all those other Emperor level powerhouses that remained hidden in the world, every Divine Kingdom had nearly 10 Emperor level powerhouses, or perhaps even more.

1. Of the four Divine Kingdoms, the strongest was the **Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom**.
	* The Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom was famed for its alchemy techniques and the entire country was rich in wood spirit jade and all sorts of heavenly materials that were useful for alchemy. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that nearly every martial artist within the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom was familiar with alchemy. Even if they weren’t an alchemist they would still have some superficial knowledge of alchemy.
2. Second to the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom was the **Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom.**
	* They were famous for their refining techniques and their lands held all sort of deposits of precious metals and minerals. Within the Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom, nine out of 10 martial artists were refining masters. Nearly every inherited heaven-step treasure of the Sky Spill Continent that didn’t originate from ancient times came from the Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom.
3. Coming in third was the **Asura Divine Kingdom**.
	* They were a relatively isolated and independent Divine Kingdom. Although they were far weaker than the Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom and the Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom, this was mainly due to the fact that there weren’t any special resources located within their borders. The Asura Divine Kingdom was a land of mostly demonic path martial artists and the social customs within were considered quite barbaric. In fact, publicly killing someone on the streets couldn’t be considered uncommon or exciting.
4. And last of all was the **Seven Star Divine Kingdom**.
	* They too didn’t have any special resources, causing the development of their Divine Kingdom to be greatly limited. The Seven Star Divine Kingdom was well known for their array formations, but no matter how strong array formations were, they were still auxiliary skills. In terms of enhancing a martial artist’s cultivation, they were naturally inferior to the mass production capabilities of alchemical techniques.

### **Present**

After the rise of Yang Yun, the great powers that surrounded the region had to obey him. This was the start of a totalitarian rule under Ancient Devil who controlled Yang Yun and Whitedemon. Inevitably, Yang Yun cunningly defeats his oppressors and claims sole rule over all of Sky Spill Continent. Emperor level Clans like the White Clan had to submit to his will and the four divine kingdoms were helpless against his rule after the death of their peak powerhouses.

However, due to Lin Ming's absolute strength and heroism, they become freed from the constraints of an estranged Yang Yun and paved the way for Lin Ming's glory and legend throughout the continent as the Highest Under the Heavens.

After the great war, Lin Ming establishes Vermillion Bird Divine Kingdom which becomes the greatest power in the continent. The Asura Divine Kingdom dissolves after Yang Yun's death and the Situ lineage goes into reclusion.

## Martial Artists

### **Life Destruction Masters**

Here, the height of strength for a Life Destruction master is under the Destiny Decree.

In the Sky Spill Continent, there were some martial artists who had been able to become Peerless emperors after reaching the fourth stage of Life Destruction. However, these were very rare occurrences. This mostly happened when someone stumbled into a massive bout of luck that allowed them to become Emperor powerhouses. Even then, they would be the weakest of the rank.

The most common Emperor powerhouses had reached stages five or six of Life Destruction before becoming Emperors. There were very few who had reached stage seven of Life Destruction and nearly none who reached stage eight of Life Destruction. As for ninth stage of Life Destruction, those were legendary existences detailed in ancient texts from the Realm of the Gods.

### **Divine Sea Supreme Elders**

Of the 90 some Divine Sea powerhouses remaining in the Sky Spill Continent, nearly half of them had relied on lucky chances to break into the Divine Sea. That was over 40 people!

Of the remaining 50, although a majority of them broke into the Divine Sea with their own strength and will, they had neither divine bodies or variation bloodlines and they weren’t even at the seventh stage of Life Destruction, but the most ordinary and common sixth stage of Life Destruction. Although they were stronger than those that relied on lucky chances to break into the Divine Sea, it would be extremely difficult for them to step foot into the middle Divine Sea realm.

Considering all factors, there were 20 people in the Sky Spill Continent that managed to break into the middle Divine Sea, and only a single person that was at the late Divine Sea realm. That was Old Man Good Fortune. All other late Divine Sea masters were slain by Yang Yun.
