Ten days from now, on Huading Mountain, who dares to fight?
These eleven words were few, yet each one seemed like a vessel of the Great Dao, radiating a chilling battle aura that none could withstand.
Moreover, the Dao sound flowed, shaking the world.
On Huading Mountain, who dares to fight!?
Everyone's expressions changed, including the numerous young generation's supremes of the ancient path.
So arrogant, yet he possessed the qualifications for such arrogance.
Because he was the invincible Yuanchu Imperial Son. With the challenge issued, this was a declaration of war against everyone!
"Since the challenge has been issued, I shall return. I hope to see you all ten days from now." Wanyan Gutong sneered coldly before turning to leave.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the Sun King spoke up.
Wanyan Gutong stopped, looking coldly at the Sun King. "What else do you want?"
Others were also puzzled.
Yet at this moment, the Sun King's entire body erupted with solar holy light many times more blazing. A glorious great sun spanned the sky. "I wish to reply!"
Before anyone else could react, the Sun King pressed his index and middle fingers together. Dazzling radiant light surged forth, actually forcibly erasing the Imperial Son's handwriting from the gilded challenge letter. Then, with vigorous and flowing strokes, he wrote anew.
Wanyan Gutong, standing nearby, was utterly shocked. Those were the characters of the Yuanchu Imperial Son, containing his essence, energy, and spirit. They were not something an ordinary person could erase; even a young generation's supreme would find it difficult.
How did the Sun King manage it?
Not long after, the challenge letter was returned to Wanyan Gutong's hand. The moment he received it, he felt a heavy weight. Opening it, he saw only one character, heavy as a mountain: Good!
An astonishing aura also erupted from the challenge letter. Wanyan Gutong nearly couldn't withstand it, almost dropping it.
After finally putting it away, he realized his attempt to intimidate had failed. Instead, he had been left in a sorry state. Helpless, he could only flick his sleeves and leave with a cold snort.
After witnessing Wanyan Gutong tear through the void and depart, the other young generation's supremes quickly rushed forward, looking at the Sun King with great suspicion. Among them, Ban Gu spoke bluntly, "Sun King, when did you become so formidable? No, your strength is similar to ours. This shouldn't be possible. What exactly happened?"
Naturally, this was not something the Sun King could have accomplished on his own. The ancient characters of the Yuanchu Imperial Son possessed a special and corresponding Great Dao aura, beyond the current Sun King's ability to erase. It was Ye Chen who had acted through him.
However, the Sun King could not reveal this, knowing that his Saint King martial uncle was not yet ready to appear. Thus, he shook his head slightly. "You need not inquire too much. This is merely one of my methods."
With that, the Sun King turned and left. Although he very much wanted to find his Saint King martial uncle Ye Chen, the current circumstances simply did not allow it.
However, the Yuanchu Imperial Son's challenge had successfully diverted everyone's attention.
A challenge from an invincible Imperial Son was not something anyone could easily dismiss. It demanded everyone's serious attention.
Especially these young generation's supremes, who would have to prepare to face the Yuanchu Imperial Son in battle ten days later. This was the most headache-inducing matter.
After all, even they, these young generation's supremes, were unwilling to lightly confront such a strongest Imperial Son genius who had swept through the young supremes undefeated.
"In ten days, will there truly be a battle?"
Many were quite expectant. This was a clash between supreme geniuses at the highest level, worthy of everyone's anticipation regardless.
"A battle between Supremes can only be won, not lost, to defend our Supreme glory!" Sheng Tian said slowly.
Everyone agreed.
However, how to fight required them to convene another round table discussion.
But everyone roughly understood that, in the end, perhaps all the young generation's supremes would join forces—a pack of tigers devouring a dragon.
That night, the various Heaven's Pride figures departed separately. The fifteen young generation's supremes also left one by one.
However, the Sun King called over the Immortal Couple from the Moon Hall, puzzling them as to his purpose.
Yet the Sun King was mysterious, stating that they would know once they followed him.
Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess, this pair of young generation's supreme Dao companions, were unafraid, not worried that the Sun King would play any tricks, and followed.
The three young generation's supremes arrived at a seemingly ordinary mansion in Fenggu City. However, the moment Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess stepped into the mansion, their expressions changed drastically. They clearly sensed powerful restrictions within the mansion, sealing heaven and locking earth, preventing any external probing.
Moreover, the instant they entered, the entire mansion was restrained and isolated.
"Sun King, what do you intend? Do you wish to attack us, a married couple? Don't forget your master, the Sun God, is also from the Sealed Universe." Chu Shuangyu said sharply.
The Sun King shook his head. Yet before he could speak, a gentle voice came: "Do not worry. It was my doing. I also had the Sun King bring you here."
However, this voice, though seemingly gentle, carried a familiar quality that quickly dawned on the couple. Instantly, they were as if struck by lightning, their entire bodies stiffening.
Turning around, they saw a tall, heroic figure appear. Black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his gaze profound. A dark golden divine halo rested behind his back, and a faint crescent moon mark adorned the center of his brow. Who else could it be but the Battle Saint King?
"Your Highness!?"
Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess were dumbfounded. Initially, they harbored some doubt, but upon sensing the familiar and ever-unfathomable aura of the person before them, they immediately understood—this was the true Battle Saint King.
"Chu Shuangyu pays respects to Your Highness!"
"Cloud Heaven pays respects to Your Highness!"
This Immortal Couple was extremely excited, immediately bowing in salute.
However, a gentle yet irresistible force swept over, stopping their salute. They saw Ye Chen smiling lightly. "There is no need for such formalities from you two. Please rise."
After a brief moment of excitement, the couple regained their composure. Sensing the even more unfathomable Great Dao aura emanating from Ye Chen compared to before, their reverence deepened.
The Battle Saint King, who had achieved the Chaos Great Power realm, was undoubtedly far more powerful and immeasurably profound than during their first meeting.
"Your Highness, this is wonderful. With you here, we have nothing to fear from the Yuanchu Imperial Son in the battle on Huading Mountain ten days from now." The couple breathed a sigh of relief. With the invincible Battle Saint King present, no matter how powerful the Yuanchu Imperial Son was, they were unafraid.
Yet Ye Chen shook his head. "I do not intend to take action."
Hearing this, both the Immortal Couple and the Sun King were startled. The latter hurriedly asked, "Why? If you, Saint King martial uncle, were to act, even the Yuanchu Imperial Son wouldn't dare be so arrogant."
Ye Chen smiled. "In the great storm of this era, I plan to observe from the shadows. It is not yet the time for me to appear."
Hearing the indisputable tone in his voice, the others felt quite helpless. Without the Battle Saint King, how could they possibly contend against the Yuanchu Imperial Son?
"Saint King martial uncle, if we fail, I'm afraid all the Heaven's Pride of the ancient path will choose to withdraw from Emperor Birth Star," the Sun King said helplessly. "At that time, competing for the Great Emperor's reincarnation body will be difficult."
"It's fine. I will go there secretly. If you truly fail, I will borrow your bodies to intervene slightly," Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
