"Alright, I'll go compete and sweep across the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds, seizing this so-called title of number one."
Qian Xun grinned, showing his teeth.
But Ye Chen stopped him, saying, "You don't need to go. The so-called younger generation of the Eight Realms won't be of much use for your tempering. Let Junlin go."
He looked at Ye Junlin and asked, "Do you have the confidence to contend for the title of number one?"
Thirty years had passed. Although he had spent over twenty of those years in slumber, in the past decade, Ye Junlin had completely activated the potential within his body and grown up. He now appeared to be in his late teens, exceptionally handsome and ethereal, with a hint of shyness, pure and natural, having always been protected by his family.
Now, hearing his father's encouragement and expectation, Ye Junlin nodded heavily, a glimmer of hope in his eyes as he said earnestly, "Father, I can do it."
"Good. I give you a hundred years. Sweep across the Eight Realms of the Myriad Worlds and seize this title of number one."
Ye Chen assigned him the task, and Ye Junlin accepted it excitedly.
"Although your strength is formidable, your combat experience is poor. I will seal your power. Start from the Demi-Saint level and train step by step, seizing the title of number one among the younger generation of the Eight Realms."
He placed great hopes on Ye Junlin.
Beside them, Qian Xun sighed. "What a pity. I wanted to go too."
Yaya, next to him, gave him a charming roll of her eyes. "If you, this battle maniac, went, who knows how many of the younger generation of the Eight Realms would be left by the end. Besides, you've already become an Ancient Monarch. Don't bully those little ones who haven't even reached the Quasi-Monarch level yet."
Qian Xun was an Ancient Monarch, having ascended from an Inverse Heaven Quasi-Monarch, inherently stronger than ordinary Ancient Monarchs. Moreover, as a Battle Saint, his combat prowess was peerless in the world. If he truly participated in the competition of the Eight Realms' younger generation, it would be a complete and utter sweep.
Although still young, the younger generation of the Eight Realms were indeed like little children to Qian Xun.
"You make me sound so old," Qian Xun couldn't help but mutter. "I haven't even cultivated for a thousand years yet."
Within the Primordial Hall, everyone from the Ancient Barbarian God Clan gasped in shock.
Such a young Ancient Monarch, and his cultivation lifespan was less than a thousand years.
The Ancient God King smiled bitterly.
He had thought himself sufficiently dazzling, reaching this step in sixty thousand years, a peerless God King, far surpassing other cultivators of the same age by who knows how much. Many who had cultivated for sixty thousand years were still stuck at the Great Power level.
But compared to Qian Xun, his aptitude seemed pitifully poor.
He also thought of Ye Chen, recalling that this Heavenly Kingdom Ruler seemed to be of a similar age.
Sometimes, comparing people really could make you die of anger.
The others also noticed Huang Hu, surprised to find he was a Great Perfection Supreme Genius.
After learning everything, Chenxi asked in surprise, "Dad, Huang Hu is a Great Perfection Supreme Genius with excellent aptitude. You saw him and didn't take him as a disciple?"
This was a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, a peerless Heaven's Pride with the true qualifications to contend for the Emperor's Path.
If he truly grew up, he even had a certain chance of becoming an Ancient Emperor!
Hearing this, Huang Hu also looked at Ye Chen, naturally filled with immense longing and hope.
Over the past thirty years, through two successive Dominator-level battles, Ye Chen had suppressed all ages, slaying and defeating so many Forbidden Zone Dominators and alien super experts, overthrowing the Heavenly Realm Dominator's faith... each feat was a true monumental achievement, establishing his invincible reputation.
Who wouldn't hope to become the personal disciple of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler?
But Ye Chen only smiled without speaking.
He raised his eyes to the sky, thinking of his several disciples, scattered in various places, always raised in a free-range manner.
Although Huang Hu's aptitude was excellent—a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, a true Emperor's Son-level figure—even an Ancient Emperor might take him as a personal disciple upon seeing him with delight, Ye Chen would not take on any more disciples. It was enough already.
Sometimes, he wondered how those disciples he was raising freely were doing now...
On this day, a peerlessly handsome youth walked out from the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom. Simple and innocent, his eyes were clear and pure, black and white, like an untainted child untouched by worldly affairs, officially walking the mortal world.
The world saw him following Huang Hu, the future hope of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan, participating in the competition of the younger generation of the Eight Realms.
The whole world knew that Huang Hu had now implicitly become the number one in the Saint Realm. Although his time in the Saint Realm was short, he started as a powerful Fourth Heaven Saint, with terrifying strength that allowed him to slay Seventh or Eighth Heaven super Saints against the norm, finding few rivals in the Saint Realm.
There were rumors that Huang Hu was not only the number one among the younger generation of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan but had also reached an unprecedented level in all aspects—the legendary Ten Heavens Great Perfection realm that belonged only to the Mythical Epoch. He could be called a Supreme Genius and possessed the true bearing to become an Emperor!
He was the new hope of the Ancient Barbarian God Clan, highly likely to lead the clan back to the heights of the Primordial Hall of the ancient inheritance, perhaps even surpassing it.
Most astonishingly, there were faint rumors that Huang Hu might very well be the personal disciple of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, having received his training and being extremely powerful.
His formidable body could even shatter Saint Weapons of the same level with ease—a super Heaven's Pride beyond ordinary reasoning.
The handsome youth who could follow by Huang Hu's side was likely of no simple origin.
As expected, the youth soon became famous throughout the world. Everyone knew his name—Ye Junlin!
Junlin Tianxia—what a domineering name!
Even more astonishing was that, according to rumors, this Ye Junlin's origins were far from simple. He came from the Barbarian Realm and was suspected to be the son of the currently invincible Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, born with peerless strength. Despite his young age, his cultivation had already reached the Demi-Saint level.
Being a Demi-Saint was one thing, but his strength was so powerful that he could defy the heavens, defeating higher-realm Saint Treasury experts with his Demi-Saint body, just like Huang Hu in the past.
The world believed that Ye Junlin was likely like Huang Hu—a Ten Heavens Great Perfection Heaven's Pride, possessing the bearing of an Emperor!
It was widely said that Ye Junlin had been protected like a greenhouse flower since birth, pure and shy, giving people a favorable impression. Even when facing enemies, he never took a life.
With the suspected son of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler appearing in the world, naturally many people wanted to seize the opportunity to make a name for themselves by defeating Ye Junlin and achieving some fame.
Moreover, he never flaunted the prestige of the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, nor had the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler ever stepped in to protect him. This showed that conflicts among the younger generation were something the Heavenly Kingdom Ruler, given his status, would not interfere with, and it was also tempering for Ye Junlin.
Precisely because of this, many Heaven's Prides took the opportunity to challenge him.
In just three short months, countless Heaven's Prides challenged the Heaven's Pride Ye Junlin—from a hundred nations and ten thousand sects, from the Seven Great Ancient Inheritances, and from other realms.
Although they were basically only at the Demi-Saint and Saint Realm levels, they were all true super Heaven's Prides, no ordinary individuals, possessing the terrifying ability to kill across realms.
Of course, hidden in the shadows were also alien people targeting him, still existing within the Primordial Heavenly Realm, lying in wait, hoping to kill this son of the Battle Saint King.
Among these enemies were not a few super experts far beyond the Saint Treasury realm.
