"Yu Hao, the number one on the Great Power Heaven's Pride List, has undergone tribulation and become a King."
Both the Divine Kings and the many Great Powers were momentarily stunned.
Each of the nine continents had its own continent-specific Heaven's Pride List, but there was one Heaven's Pride List that directly overshadowed all the continental lists—the World Heaven's Pride List.
Yu Hao was precisely the number one Heaven's Pride within the Weiyang Great World.
Utterly deserving of the title!
Regarding this Yu Hao, there was a legendary history.
He displayed astonishing spiritual roots from birth, could speak at one year old, began cultivation at three, stepped into the Postnatal realm at five, reached the Innate realm at nine, became a Half-God at thirteen, and achieved the Divine Transformation realm at eighteen. By twenty-nine, he had stepped into the ranks of the Saint Treasury Realm.
Before the age of thirty, he was already a Saint of his generation. The brilliance of his talent could be described as transcendent and world-shaking.
And that wasn't even all.
Within the Saint Treasury Realm, Yu Hao performed a heaven-defying feat, forcibly breaking through the shackles of the ninth heaven and stepping into the ranks of the Tenth Heaven—a realm unprecedented in the Weiyang Great World. He became exceptionally powerful, possessing the true capital to be invincible among his peers.
Moreover, starting from low realms, he had been contending with various Heaven's Prides all along, always sweeping through them effortlessly. Even the outstanding successors from various Immortal forces and super forces were no match for him.
This continued for a full five hundred years. In the end, Yu Hao successfully broke into the Great Power realm, becoming one of the youngest Great Powers of the era.
At that time, he startled quite a few Ancient Divine Kings. Even some old antiques in secluded death retreats were startled into emerging, secretly conveying their willingness to take him as a disciple and guide him into the Divine King Domain.
It could be said that any Great Power would be moved, wishing they could agree immediately.
Because although becoming a Great Power was difficult, as long as one's talent was sufficient, one could always grind their way up through the passage of time.
But the Divine King Domain was different. Without clear guidance, achieving it was thousands of times more difficult.
Because one needed to comprehend the origin of the Divine King Great Dao as a catalyst to break through.
Otherwise, while Great Powers were not lacking in the Weiyang Great World, the number of Ancient Divine Kings had always remained within the count of two hands. One could imagine the difficulty.
The fact that Great Power Qingtian had been stuck at the Half-Step Divine King realm for over ten thousand years, never able to take that final step, served as a clear example.
Facing the olive branches extended by the Divine Kings, Yu Hao directly refused without agreeing.
This shocked the world.
Many Great Powers shook their heads with disappointment and regret, feeling that a generation's peerless Heaven's Pride would likely be halted at the Great Power realm.
The world believed that no matter how outstanding Yu Hao's talent was, it was fundamentally impossible for him to step into the Divine King Realm relying solely on himself without any guidance. At most, he could only reach the Half-Step Divine King Domain.
Yu Hao did not pay excessive attention to the doubtful gazes of others. He continued his cultivation, and his pace of cultivation never slowed by even a fraction. On the contrary, his cultivation speed grew faster and faster, continuously breaking countless records left by predecessors.
Finally, in less than three hundred years, by the time he was eight hundred years old, he had already ascended to the pinnacle of the Great Power realm, making all the Great Powers of the various heavens keep a respectful distance.
At nine hundred years old, he underwent an ultimate sublimation, advancing further and smoothly stepping into the Half-Step Divine King Domain, hailed as the youngest Half-Step Divine King in the history of the Weiyang Great World.
Reaching this point, the world began to doubt their initial judgment.
Cultivation became slower and slower in the later stages, often taking thousands or tens of thousands of years without necessarily advancing a single step.
Yet Yu Hao, in less than four hundred years, had directly crossed numerous minor realms from his initial entry into the Great Power realm to become a Half-Step Divine King. One could imagine the immense potential he possessed; he was bound to step into the Divine King Domain, and could even challenge to become the strongest Heaven's Pride beyond the Divine King realm.
Sure enough, less than a hundred years after Yu Hao stepped into the Half-Step Divine King realm, and now only fifty years later—a mere half-century—he smoothly stepped into the Divine King Realm, becoming the youngest Ancient Divine King in the Weiyang Great World.
"Yu Hao, the true number one Heaven's Pride of our Weiyang Great World, is indeed extraordinary and peerless. He used mere centuries, equivalent to tens of thousands of years for others. One could say he cultivates for one year what others need a hundred years for. And now he is about to undergo tribulation to achieve the position of Divine King. This level of talent, we are not his equal."
The Divine Kings sighed with emotion, feeling inferior.
Back in their day, they were all truly super Heaven's Prides of astonishing talent and brilliance; otherwise, they could not have reached the Divine King realm. With a single movement, they could span over a hundred thousand years, truly dominating the rise and fall of the Weiyang Great World and leading the way for many tens of thousands of years.
But compared to Yu Hao, they felt far inferior.
At his age, even if they possessed transcendent talent at a thousand years old, they would have barely become Heavenly Kings.
Yet Yu Hao had stepped into the Divine King Realm. It had to be said it was quite stunning, and calling his talent peerless throughout the ages was not an exaggeration.
The many Great Powers of the era felt deeply inferior and somewhat ashamed.
They, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, were actually far inferior to a junior who had lived less than a thousand years, rising so powerfully against adversity to challenge the domain of the Ancient Divine Kings.
"This young Heaven's Pride named Yu Hao indeed counts as a stunningly brilliant, peerless Heaven's Pride."
On the Heavenly Dragon Continent, a trace of admiration also flashed in Ye Chen's gaze.
Although he was inferior compared to himself, one had to remember this was the Weiyang Great World, which had significant limitations. There was no Supreme Ancient Path, no Ultimate Ancient Path, not even legendary Great Dao inheritances beyond the Divine King realm. There weren't even records of the Tenth Heaven. It could be considered a relatively closed Great World.
But to become a Divine King Realm cultivator in less than a thousand years, and with a seven-hundred-path Godking Tribulation no less, was absolutely considered quite astonishing talent.
He hadn't expected such a peerless Heaven's Pride to be born within the Weiyang Great World.
Moreover, a seven-hundred-path Godking Tribulation was probably not something a low-level young generation's supreme was qualified for. Perhaps over these years, Yu Hao had advanced further and become a high-level young generation's supreme.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt a stirring desire to take a disciple.
Under the gaze of all ages, Yu Hao rose up in defiance of heaven.
He was very young, appearing to be in his early twenties, heroic and vigorous, with prominent features, black hair cascading like a waterfall, and a flourishing life force. He was in the rising period of the human body, like the rise of a young emperor.
Yu Hao actively charged into the nine heavens, contending with the vast Godking Tribulation encircled by seven hundred Great Daos. A roar shook the nine heavens and ten earths, startling the entire Weiyang Great World.
This tribulation lasted a full day and night.
Finally, when the tribulation grew so intense that even Great Powers could not see clearly—only Divine Kings could witness it—Yu Hao, covered in blood with flashing thunderbolts adding to his form, transformed into a heaven-defying beam of light that shot up into the ninth heaven.
Half a day later, the great tribulation ended. The vast sea of tribulation light and thunder receded, leaving only Yu Hao to devour the residual thunderous power left after the sea of tribulation light and thunder dispersed, repairing himself and healing his injuries.
Another three days and three nights passed like this, with no one disturbing Yu Hao's recovery.
The strong of the two factions naturally did not dare to make a move.
The Weiyang Great World was overjoyed at Yu Hao's rise. There were even Ancient Divine Kings secretly guarding him, worried that someone might strike from the shadows.
In the end, Yu Hao fully recovered, and he was not a newly stepping into the Divine King Realm, but a Two-Tribulation Divine King.
