A golden light path materialized beneath the newcomer's feet, accompanied by various extraordinary phenomena, as if an ancient Great Emperor had descended upon the mortal world. It captured the attention of everyone present, descending directly upon the Imperial City and radiating an extremely oppressive sense of majesty.
Battle Saint of the Qin Family!
Bathed in resplendent golden light, he descended like an immortal War God, landing with a whoosh within the Imperial Hall. From a distance, he half-knelt towards the Wushi Monarch seated upon the main throne, performing a grand salute: "Your disciple Qin Wushuang pays respects to Master!"
The Wushi Monarch on the main throne smiled faintly and motioned for him to rise. "Wushuang, you may rise."
Below, Ye Chen watched this Battle Saint named Qin Wushuang with a somewhat strange expression. This person was a disciple of the Wushi Monarch; by seniority, Ye Chen should also address Qin Wushuang as Ancestor-Master. However, this person was as young as himself. To actually call out such a title felt rather awkward, and he found himself unable to utter it.
"Yes!"
Qin Wushuang stood up tall.
Boom—
Qin Wushuang made no attempt to conceal his aura. Boundless and peerless, a brilliant and flourishing golden blood energy wantonly bloomed forth, like a vast golden ocean capable of submerging the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It carried an invincible martial will, his hair tinged with golden light, making him appear even more supremely invincible.
The golden light path beneath his feet extended as he strode forward with the bearing of a dragon and tiger. The myriad Daos of heaven and earth seemed to tremble. Advancing with great strides, his aura surged unrestrained into the feast, even rushing towards all the Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the various Heavenly Emperor Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains present.
This was a provocative declaration of war!
The Battle Saint of the Qin Family was declaring war on all Heaven's Pride Prodigies!
Countless Heaven's Pride Prodigies paled. Under that terrifying pressure, they trembled from the depths of their hearts, unable to muster any feeling of resistance.
However, those Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes all had cold, sharp glints in their eyes. Each erupted with terrifying auras not the least bit inferior, each person like a deity. From the crowns of their heads, beams of celestial light shot forth, accompanied by various phenomena, piercing the heavens and shaking the Six Directions and Eight Wastes.
"Hmm? So many Strongest Young Supremes have actually appeared, and the bloodline power within many is extremely powerful. They should all be Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants." As a Battle Saint, Qin Wushuang's perception was exceptionally sharp.
Even if he hadn't paid attention after emerging from seclusion, he could now sense it. Though surprised by why so many Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants had suddenly appeared, he felt not a trace of worry. On the contrary, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting sharp light, with a blazing battle intent spreading out.
He feared no enemy. Since becoming a Battle Saint, he had swept through his generation without equal, becoming the undisputed number one among the younger generation of the Imperial Clan Qin Family, a figure the entire clan valued immensely.
Moreover, his master was the Wushi Monarch, making his status undeniably lofty.
Later, due to certain reasons, he was sealed away. Now, having broken the seal and emerged, encountering so many supremely powerful Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes at once, a powerful fighting spirit overflowed within his heart.
As a Battle Saint, undefeated in countless battles, he yearned deeply for a satisfying, unrestrained fight. These Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes before him were all fully qualified to be his opponents.
He licked his lips, his eyes revealing a wild, beast-like light, like a predator waiting for the right moment, eagerly anticipating a true battle.
"Hmph!"
At the feast, many revealed cold glints in their eyes. Did this Battle Saint of the Imperial Clan Qin Family regard them all as prey to be hunted?
Not even a Battle Saint King could act so arrogantly.
In secret, many powerhouses from the Imperial Clans, Immortal Clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains shook their heads inwardly. The Battle Saint was strong, yes, but after all, not everyone was a freak like the Battle Saint King. Moreover, one shouldn't provoke everyone like this; it was purely seeking death.
However, the many Heaven's Pride Prodigies from the Imperial Clan Qin Family were all stirred with fervor. This was Qin Wushuang, the invincible figure of the Qin Family, daring to challenge all Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes, fearing nothing.
Qin Wushuang's gaze swept sharply over the various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes. Frowning slightly when no one stepped forward, he spoke: "Is there anyone who dares to face me in battle?"
His grand voice instantly exploded between heaven and earth, echoing beside everyone's ears.
Is there anyone who dares to face me in battle?
The gazes of the various Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Strongest Young Supremes grew many times colder. Previously, they had only been wary of the Wushi Monarch. If not for that reason, someone would have already made a move; how could they tolerate such provocation?
But now, they could no longer hold back. Among them, someone cupped his hands towards the Wushi Monarch on the main throne and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to spar with the Qin Family's Battle Saint."
The speaker was an exceptionally handsome man, the Imperial Son of Southern Palace from the Southern Palace Imperial Clan. Draped in luxurious robes, he appeared supremely noble.
"Granted!"
On the main throne, the Wushi Monarch nodded in permission.
Qin Wushuang looked at the Imperial Son of Southern Palace, grinning slightly. "You wish to fight me? As an Imperial Son, you do possess that qualification."
The Imperial Son of Southern Palace, usually a transcendent and aloof figure among Imperial Sons, rarely angered. Yet now, a trace of anger appeared on his jade-like countenance. He said coldly, "Enough talk. This Imperial Son wishes to see just what capabilities you, a Battle Saint, possess."
Boom—
The two directly clashed at the feast. However, the Imperial Son of Southern Palace struck first. Facing a Battle Saint, and with Ye Chen, a Battle Saint King, present earlier, he did not underestimate his opponent in the slightest. Advancing, he unleashed a series of divine abilities and Dao arts, his control over divine power exquisite to the extreme. Among them appeared a palm-sized sphere of light that shot towards Qin Wushuang like lightning.
This was no ordinary sphere of light. Even a Half-Step Divine King would regard it with extreme caution, for the Imperial Son of Southern Palace had condensed his supreme divine ability within it.
Once it exploded, it could truly severely injure even a Half-Step Divine King-level powerhouse.
Yet, no terrifying power erupted; it seemed like just an ordinary, unremarkable sphere of light. This, on the other hand, proved the Imperial Son of Southern Palace's terrifying control over divine power, not allowing a single wisp to dissipate.
Qin Wushuang naturally saw this as well. Smiling faintly, he made no attempt to block. His left hand directly turned pitch-black throughout, from which a pitch-black great cauldron leaped out to meet the sphere of light. It was none other than the Heaven-Suppressing Seal.
The Heaven-Suppressing Seal focused on sealing techniques, capable of myriad transformations, moving according to the heart, ultimately returning to suppression and sealing.
