Stunned!
Because the black-robed figure had actually withstood Bai Ze's overwhelming pressure, which could be called boundless for those of the same level. Facing the endless pressure, he was like a reef in the vast sea, enduring for millennia, constantly resisting the pounding of towering waves, standing eternally.
Moreover, the figure beneath the black robe advanced slowly yet resolutely.
It could be fully sensed that this person was absolutely an extremely terrifying figure; otherwise, how could he withstand such a fearsome pressure from a Strongest Young Supreme?
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen also released his Strongest Young Supreme pressure. The pressure transformed into an invisible great blade, surging upward and directly cleaving Bai Ze's pressure in two as he approached.
An Imperial Son?
Everyone was astonished. Another Imperial Son had arrived.
Bai Ze looked at Ye Chen, who was now less than ten zhang away. Its gaze was wise, as if it could see through Ye Chen's true appearance beneath the black robe. It nodded towards him: "Persist for three thousand rounds, and you may enter the Ninth Grade Secret Hall."
Another Bai Ze clone charged onto the Martial Arts Battle Platform, and Ye Chen followed, stepping onto it.
Within the Ninth Grade Martial Arts Battle Platform, although many Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants had successively stepped onto it, their figures had all vanished, as if several spaces had been partitioned.
In the Martial Arts Battle Platform where Ye Chen appeared, aside from Bai Ze opposite him, there was no one else.
On the Martial Arts Battle Platform, which could not be seen from the outside, Ye Chen also removed his black robe, revealing his handsome and refined face. A faint moon mark appeared between his brows, lending him a unique charm.
Bai Ze nodded to him: "You already know the rules. You may make your move."
Boom—
From Bai Ze's body, endless, blazing white light suddenly erupted. Moreover, this white light was Holy Light, also Primordial Holy Light, pure and flawless.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen smiled lightly: "Since you are using Primordial Holy Light, then I shall also use Primordial Holy Light to battle you."
Another battle at the Strongest Young Supreme level erupted.
On the nine Trial Imperial Pillars, challenges of various levels were erupting. Naturally, all the Heaven's Pride talents who came into contact with them headed to the Fifth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar to challenge, because the higher the grade of the Trial Imperial Pillar, the higher the grade of the Secret Hall they would be teleported to, and the more extraordinary the level of the various legacies, secret manuals, cultivation methods, and divine abilities contained within.
Naturally, the most attention-grabbing was still the central Ninth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar, because all the Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants had successively entered it. Later, a mysterious Strongest Young Supreme suspected to be an Imperial Son also stepped onto it, drawing everyone's gaze.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
At this time, Jian Tian, Tuoba Mo, Gu Luo Wang, and the other six Royal Super Prodigies had broken through to the Seventh Grade Trial Imperial Pillar. Facing the trial beasts on the Seventh Grade Trial Imperial Pillar, they felt the battles were nearly evenly matched, only managing to win with great difficulty. Looking at the Eighth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar, they felt they had no hope of victory.
They looked again at the Ninth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar, knowing that Ye Chen had stepped onto it, their gazes very complex.
They had previously believed that the reason they were supposedly inferior to Ye Chen was merely because Ye Chen's cultivation realm was higher than theirs. However, seeing it today, that was not the case. Even at the same realm, the other party could defeat them with ease.
Was this the gap between a Strongest Young Supreme and a high-level young supreme?
Only one major realm short of Great Perfection, half a step from the tenth heaven of the Demigod realm, yet the gap between them was truly like heaven and earth.
Their gazes held an indescribable desolation.
Perhaps successfully challenging the Seventh Grade Trial Imperial Pillar was an absolutely extraordinary achievement for others, but compared to those Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and other Strongest Young Supremes, it was indeed so insignificant.
The Seventh Grade trial beast said to these super prodigies who had successfully challenged: "Do you wish to challenge the Eighth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar, or proceed to the Seventh Grade Secret Hall?"
"Proceed!"
The six Royal Super Prodigies sighed softly and spoke thus.
"Good!"
The trial beast nodded, and then several beams of light enveloped these Royal Super Prodigies, directly teleporting them away to the mysterious Seventh Grade Secret Hall.
At the same time, just as everyone thought Ye Chen was the last Strongest Young Supreme to successfully challenge the Ninth Grade Trial Imperial Pillar and enter the Martial Arts Battle Platform for battle, at this moment, a mysterious figure clad entirely in white robes also swished into it.
Boom—
A powerful pressure at the Strongest Young Supreme level rushed towards this white-robed figure.
"Damn, releasing pressure so fast, clearly bullying a handsome guy," the white-robed figure cursed without any restraint in the face of the pressure. However, his movements were not slow at all. Surging radiance erupted from his body, soaring skyward, actually also withstanding this pressure that was deemed terrifyingly overwhelming for those of the same level, truly astonishing everyone.
In the distance, on the other eight Trial Imperial Pillars, numerous shocked gazes looked over there. Many exclaimed: "Someone else has withstood the pressure! Could it be another Strongest Young Supreme?"
"An Imperial Son?"
Many were stunned, but that white-robed figure also erupted with supreme pressure, withstanding Bai Ze's pressure, while continuing to curse: "Damn it, this young master just broke through not long ago, and now this. Still a bit unskilled, but I have to break through."
Boom—
A radiance that could be called blazingly intense suddenly erupted, then released majestically, rushing towards Bai Ze.
It was Holy Light, and pure, flawless Primordial Holy Light, colliding with it.
In the end, the white-robed figure also rushed before Bai Ze, then swished onto the Martial Arts Battle Platform.
First the black-robed figure, later the white-robed figure—one black, one white, two completely opposite robe colors made people think of many things, believing the two must be related.
Ye Chen on the Martial Arts Battle Platform was unaware of all this. If he knew what these people were thinking, he would be so frustrated he could vomit blood, because he simply did not know who this white-robed figure was.
At the same time, he was engaged in fierce battle with Bai Ze. He had abandoned his most proficient Chaos methods and was instead employing the Holy Light Art obtained from the Angel God Emperor to engage in intense combat with Bai Ze.
In the blink of an eye, they had already fought over a thousand rounds.
During this period, his initially somewhat unskilled use of the Holy Light Art quickly became mastered in battle. By now, he was already operating it with flawless proficiency. With every move, he wielded vast Holy Light power, engaging in fierce combat with Bai Ze, the mount of the legendary Ancient Great Emperor.
Even when only using Primordial Holy Light, Ye Chen's combat power was unimaginably terrifying. From initial parity to later gaining the upper hand, somewhat suppressing Bai Ze—though not by much, it was still astonishing enough.
"Alright, enough time has passed outside. It should be about time to end this," Ye Chen said after colliding with Bai Ze and separating.
