No betting with spirit stones, only treasures.
At the very least, they were Divine King Level Divine Materials, and there were even Divine King Level Divine Materials and Supreme Treasures. In short, the stakes were all priceless treasures that could not be compared to the price of ordinary spirit stones.
The other person was Mountain Chicken, the famous young generation's top assassin of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, sporting a shock of multicolored hair that looked utterly eccentric no matter how you looked at it.
It really must be said, a large crowd rushed over to place their bets. It was just very strange—the Cangtian Emperor's Son had odds of one to one, while the Battle Saint King had odds of one to ten. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed the two fellows from the Battle Saint Hall thought the Battle Saint King's chances of winning were very slim.
"You two, why are the Battle Saint King's odds so high?"
"Yes, the Cangtian Emperor's Son's odds are only one to one."
The crowd spoke up one after another to inquire. The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor clicked his tongue and said, "Don't we know exactly what the Battle Saint King's strength is? Hurry up and place your bets, they won't be valid after this."
Upon hearing this, everyone wondered—could it be that the Battle Saint King really wasn't a match for the Cangtian Emperor's Son? When they saw the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken, who had set up the betting, each painfully stake a piece of Divine King Level Divine Material on the Cangtian Emperor's Son, they became even more convinced of their thoughts. They all placed numerous treasures on the Cangtian Emperor's Son.
Seeing this, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken immediately shouted, "Why are you all betting on the Cangtian Emperor's Son? Bet on the Battle Saint King! His odds are better, you can't let us both lose— damn it, almost slipped up. You guys are no good."
The cursing and grumbling from the man and the dragon made the others even more certain that the Battle Saint King was inferior to the Cangtian Emperor's Son. Many quickly took out valuable treasures, some even staking their entire fortunes or treasures borrowed from others on the Cangtian Emperor's Son.
They were all convinced that the Battle Saint King would undoubtedly lose.
Little did they know, the man and the dragon were putting on a mournful face on the outside while laughing heartily on the inside.
At this moment, a few people arrived. They were none other than human race Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and the strongest of the young generation's supreme, such as Ye Cangqiong, Di Wu Shuang, Nanhuang Imperial Maiden, Shen Rong, Qin Wu Shuang, the Xiao Family Imperial Son, and others—eight in total. They all smiled and said, "The Battle Saint King is a member of our human race. As humans, we must support him."
Whoosh—
Di Wuming was the first to place a bet. He didn't act unless he acted, and when he did, it was with over a dozen Divine King Level Supreme Treasures and the like. Each piece was priceless, far surpassing the entire fortunes of others.
The other human Heaven's Pride also placed their bets on Ye Chen's side, all acting with extreme generosity and smiling as if they didn't care at all about losing these priceless treasures.
But the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken cursed and grumbled, "Grandma's mother, you're here on purpose to cause trouble. Is it easy for the two of us to earn a little living expense? We've staked all our fortunes on the Cangtian Emperor's Son—"
The others breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the human side bet so generously on the Battle Saint King, they had thought the two fellows were setting up a scam to deceive them. Now, hearing these words, they felt it wasn't exactly a scam, but their expressions soon changed because the two hadn't finished speaking: "—on the Cangtian Emperor's Son's opponent, the Battle Saint King!"
Whoosh—
It really was their entire fortunes. Supreme Treasures piled up like a small mountain appeared on the Battle Saint King's side, countless times more than what had been bet on the Cangtian Emperor's Son earlier.
Treasure light shimmered brilliantly, divine objects appeared one after another, too many to count, far exceeding the fortune an ordinary Divine King should possess.
Everyone clenched their fists. By now, where could they not know that these two fellows had definitely set up a scam to deceive them?
So, from the very beginning, it had been a setup.
They wanted to take back all their treasures, but it was already too late. The two fellows, more cunning than a weasel, had already collected everything and shouted, "Bets are placed, no regrets allowed."
"@#￥%……&*—"
Everyone wished they could curse these two unscrupulous bastards' ancestors eighteen generations a thousand times over. They had seen unscrupulous people, but never ones this unscrupulous.
At this moment, the most anticipated battle of the strongest Heaven's Pride of the young generation also began!
Boom—
The Cangtian Emperor's Son took the initiative, striking first.
He was extremely fast, as if traversing time and space, arriving before Ye Chen in the blink of an eye. Without the slightest mercy, he formed a fist seal with his hand and unleashed a Heaven's Fist, carrying threads of Divine King Level Cang Tian Great Dao source power, which greatly increased its might. This Divine King Forbidden Land trembled, and countless thick fissures and chasms appeared on the vast earth.
The world was shocked. Truly worthy of being a Divine King Level Imperial Son. Just from his first move, he was powerful to this extent, capable of severely injuring or even killing an ordinary Divine King.
It must be known that this was a forbidden land where two Divine Kings had once clashed, extraordinary in nature. Even after countless years, it still bore the Dao marks of Divine Kings, making it far more stable than other regions. Yet, signs of collapse still appeared, proving the Cangtian Emperor's Son's peerless power.
Boom—
Facing this strike that could kill an ordinary Divine King, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. He also threw a punch, carrying vast and mighty Primordial Chaos Ancient Qi, colliding with it.
Instantly, the heavens collapsed and the earth split. The million-li Divine King Forbidden Land crumbled. The two half-collapsed mountains from the Divine King battle of that year were completely shattered into dust, vanishing into history.
The two peerless powerhouses of the young generation were clashing. With each collision of their fists, boundless might wantonly bloomed forth, as if it could devour the myriad heavens. Nothing could withstand it; everything was destined to become the dust of history.
Fortunately, the world's many powerhouses knew of the absolute terror of these two and understood that ordinary ancient formations would be difficult to block them. Several Divine Kings had already acted earlier, setting up layer upon layer of grand formations within the Divine King Forbidden Land, enveloping it. Only then were they able to block the force of the collision; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the spectators outside the Divine King Forbidden Land would inevitably be affected.
Seeing that Ye Chen could withstand it, the Cangtian Emperor's Son's expression did not change. After all, this was the Battle Saint King, who had been invincible for generations. How could he be so easy to deal with? The Cangtian Emperor's Son regarded him as another Divine King Level Imperial Son.
He took a step forward and attacked again. The divine abilities of the Cangtian Emperor Clan erupted completely between his fingers and palms. Layer upon layer of peerless divine radiance surged forth, vast and mighty, wantonly assaulting Ye Chen before him, as if to completely shatter his entire being. Nothing could withstand it.
Behind him, a phantom of Cang Tian appeared—a vast, azure heaven. With every move he made, it was the mighty power of the vast azure heaven, beyond imagination.
One Cangtian Dragon after another materialized, each one a colossal hundred thousand li in size, far more majestic than any mountain range, biting forward.
From the lofty, unreachable firmament, billions of layers of terrifying thunder descended.
At this moment, the Cangtian Emperor's Son seemed to represent the law of the heavens. Anyone who violated heavenly rules, anyone who dared to defy the heavens, would be executed by the heavens without pardon.
