One after another, powerful young supremes of the ancient path descended from the sky, landing on the platform atop Huading Mountain. Sun King, Sheng Tian, Chu Shuangyu, Cloud Heaven Divine Maiden, Hu Xue, Yuan Tianzi, Ban Gu, and others.
Each had a pillar of divine light soaring to the heavens above their heads, accompanied by vigorous blood energy, like roaring blood energy dragons that plunged into the firmament before scattering.
Their blood energy alone was enough to submerge the starry void beyond Birth Emperor Star.
This was the might of the young supremes of the ancient path—their blood energy was incomparably vigorous, their majestic aura sweeping out, making the surrounding powerful experts feel an overwhelming oppressive pressure.
Even the Great Powers in the distant sky were no exception.
For these young supremes were all terrifying existences at the Great Power realm.
Boom—
At this moment, a streak of flowing light flashed rapidly, then swiftly tore through this oppressive aura, ripping the void apart as a figure slowly stepped through the air to appear.
He wore a divine crown, his dark hair loose. His face was not particularly handsome or outstanding; in a sense, it was quite ordinary. Yet this very person possessed a special temperament, like the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, with a noble bearing that others could not compare to—like a sovereign lord of the Nine Heavens before whom all must bow, maintaining reverence from the depths of their hearts.
Yuanchu Imperial Son, Wanyan Bupo!
He had arrived, the invincible Imperial Son, a Heaven's Pride.
Among the crowd, a glint of sharp light shot from Ye Chen's eyes, then deepened and withdrew, returning to ordinariness.
Upon his appearance, without any action, he made the fifteen young supremes standing opposite him feel as if facing a great enemy, their expressions changing drastically one after another.
No words were needed. The fact that he could remain so calm and composed under the pressure emitted by so many young supremes was enough to illustrate how extraordinary his cultivation was. Otherwise, how would an ordinary Great Power, an ordinary young supreme, dare to act so?
"You've come."
Yuanchu Imperial Son spoke, his voice carrying a special charm. He looked calmly at the fifteen young supremes standing opposite him. His words seemed to imply not that he had arrived late, but that he had been waiting here for them all along.
Yet others heard another layer of meaning: that the fifteen young supremes had finally dared to come.
The fifteen young supremes naturally heard it too, their expressions immediately darkening. The alien young supreme Ban Gu spoke up: "Wanyan Bupo, you set up this arena to challenge us. Why wouldn't we dare to come?"
Yuanchu Imperial Son slowly descended onto the mountaintop platform. His gaze shifted, not looking at them, but falling to the ground below before he slowly said, "In the past, my father was here. Because he was too powerful, too monstrous, he was besieged by all his great enemies on Birth Emperor Star, unable to leave. The most shocking battle unfolded here."
"In that battle, Huading Mountain was also severed. My father pushed through all his peerless foes, establishing his invincible reputation, shaking the ages."
He spoke as if recounting an unrelated matter, yet his tone suddenly turned many times sharper toward the end. Beams of blazing light shot from his eyes, which no one could meet directly. "Today, I shall continue my father's invincible reputation. Here, I challenge all young Heaven's Prides from the Ultimate Ancient Path. Single combat or group attack—I accept all challengers!"
Forceful!
Everyone's expressions changed. This Yuanchu Imperial Son was too domineering, actually wanting to challenge all the Heaven's Pride talents of the Ultimate Ancient Path alone.
The fifteen young supremes' expressions shifted dramatically; the other ancient path Heaven's Prides were the same. Everyone stared at Yuanchu Imperial Son in shock.
Only the members of the Yuanchu Imperial Clan remained unchanged, as if this were utterly ordinary.
For this was their Imperial Clan's invincible Imperial Son, the descendant who inherited the most powerful Bloodline Power of Primordial Beginning Great Emperor, innately invincible, destined to inherit the invincible bearing of Primordial Beginning Great Emperor, to push through all enemies in the world, to be peerless across ancient and modern times.
Sun King and the other fourteen young supremes revealed cold smiles. Though they all had such thoughts, they had always held back, fearing that acting on them would make them the laughingstock of the world for only being able to gang up.
Now it was perfect. Yuanchu Imperial Son had spoken, giving them a stepping stone.
"Good. Since Yuanchu Imperial Son you are so arrogant, thinking yourself peerless under heaven, we shall join forces to test you and see if you are truly so invincible." Ban Gu was the first to speak, and this perfectly aligned with everyone's wishes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The fifteen young supremes all unleashed overwhelming oppressive auras, joining together, terrifying and boundless.
Not to mention this stretch of heaven and earth, even the entire Central Continent was enveloped under this matchless pressure. Billions of living beings were thrown into panic.
One must know that each was a Great Power, not of a low realm. With their pressure fully unleashed like this, it was naturally incomparably terrifying.
Hum—
Huading Mountain trembled and hummed. Strands of Dao marks quickly flashed within it, interweaving in the void, then evolving into a vast world that completely enveloped all the oppressive pressure, preventing it from leaking out.
"These are Dao marks left behind by Primordial Beginning Great Emperor in the past. Because after he achieved the Dao, he resonated with heaven and earth, the Dao marks he left behind underwent a qualitative change. They are Imperial traces, now possessing inconceivable power."
An elder supreme expert among the onlookers explained.
An Emperor is invincible. Even traces and marks left behind in the past, once he proves the Dao and becomes Emperor, the great cosmos and heaven and earth will resonate. All things left behind are likely to sublimate and transform.
Such was the case before them.
Both sides understood. Entering this evolved world of Imperial traces, they could battle to their heart's content without worrying about harming the living beings of the world.
Boom, boom, boom—
One astonishing beam of light after another soared to the heavens, originating from the fifteen young supremes. They had fully unleashed their invincible might. Their Great Power auras were like great dragons; their own blood energy alone was enough to submerge a vast continent. Like fifteen deities descending to the mortal realm, they advanced together toward Yuanchu Imperial Son.
They had not yet attacked, but the combined might of their auras was far stronger than when they had each emitted their pressure separately, terrifying to an unknown degree, enough to tear heaven and earth asunder.
Even the great world evolved from the Imperial traces rumbled incessantly, as if it might be blasted apart alive.
All eyes were fixed on the scene at Huading Mountain, which was also projected to various places across the world by some using light screens.
Opposite them, Yuanchu Imperial Son wore the divine crown on his head, his face ordinary, yet possessing a special temperament. Now, pressured from within, a world-shaking, earth-splitting roar suddenly erupted from his body, vast and mighty, as if great dragons were roaring, howling, and screaming—truly astonishing.
That was the Emperor Bloodline Power, the purest Emperor Bloodline Power, emanating from Yuanchu Imperial Son's body. It was as if a Great Emperor from ages past lay dormant within him, now about to awaken.
Boundless potential, world-shaking aura—he actually withstood the boundless oppressive pressure of the fifteen young supremes.
Yuanchu Imperial Son calmly met the gazes of the fifteen young supremes, composed and unperturbed!
