"Does anyone dare to fight?"
Zhao Yu took the initiative to speak, hoping to spar with the Heaven's Prides of the Pangu Universe, yet his attitude was exceedingly dismissive. An aura as profound as an abyss and as imposing as a mountain peak emanated from him, overwhelmingly powerful, causing the expressions of Heaven's Prides from all sides to change. He was unmistakably a Quasi-Monarch.
Such a young Quasi-Monarch was not unheard of, but it was absolutely rare.
"What a remarkably young Quasi-Monarch. He can be compared to the most outstanding batch of supreme Heaven's Prides on the Human Sovereign Ancient Path," many exclaimed in admiration. Zhao Yu was less than ten thousand years old; otherwise, he wouldn't have the qualification to come here.
To become a Quasi-Monarch within ten thousand years was exceedingly rare, even when considering all of history.
Moreover, he must have been established in the Quasi-Monarch Domain for a certain number of years, likely making him no ordinary Quasi-Monarch.
Naturally, the Pangu Universe side was not lacking in young Quasi-Monarchs either, also within ten thousand years of age.
Qin Hao, a Heaven's Pride of the Qin Shi Huang Clan, was now six thousand years old and also a top-tier Heaven's Pride on the Human Sovereign Ancient Path, having just stepped into the Quasi-Monarch Domain.
He stepped forward to face Zhao Yu.
Although the Human Sovereign was in seclusion, the Human Sovereign Palace was not in chaos. Supreme powerhouses of the Human Sovereign lineage were presiding over the grand feast. Seeing the Heaven's Prides from both sides about to engage in a peak confrontation, they did not intervene. Instead, they used their heaven-defying means to open up a great world, allowing the Heaven's Prides from both sides to enter and duel within.
Within the Divine Abilities Great World, the two Quasi-Monarchs clashed in a peak duel.
Qin Hao, a Heaven's Pride of the Qin Shi Huang lineage. By his generation, the Supreme bloodline power of Qin Shi Huang was no longer strong, naturally far from comparable to Imperial Sons and Daughters. Yet, his cultivation was still extraordinary. Being able to achieve Quasi-Monarch status within ten thousand years spoke volumes.
Although not a Supreme Heaven's Pride, he had used the God King Tribulation to mend his Heavenly Dao defects. Theoretically, as Quasi-Monarchs, their strength shouldn't differ greatly.
But Zhao Yu was a Heaven's Pride of the Azure Feather Immortal Clan, and moreover, a ninth-generation descendant of the Immortal Clan bloodline who had been sealed away and only recently emerged.
Generally speaking, within ten generations, the Supreme bloodlines of Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans remained potent.
Furthermore, Zhao Yu had become a Quasi-Monarch at five thousand years old. Now at six thousand three hundred, he had been established in the Quasi-Monarch Domain for thirteen hundred years, not something an ordinary Quasi-Monarch could compare to.
As the two dueled within the Divine Abilities Great World, Zhao Yu unleashed immortal arts, striking horizontally at Qin Hao, displaying the true supreme power of a top-tier Heaven's Pride from the Immortal World.
Qin Hao was indeed strong, but compared to Zhao Yu, there was still a noticeable gap.
After merely thirty exchanges, Zhao Yu defeated Qin Hao, causing him to cough blood, his arm fractured, as he was blasted out of the Divine Abilities Great World.
"So strong. At the very least, he's at the mid-stage Quasi-Monarch level, having mastered over a dozen Monarch Rules," many Heaven's Prides of the Pangu Universe changed expressions. Within the Quasi-Monarch Domain, the more Monarch Rules one mastered, the stronger they were.
Qin Hao, as a Quasi-Monarch, had only just mastered seven Monarch Rules, while Zhao Yu had over a dozen—a difference of nearly double.
"I am defeated!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Qin Hao's mouth; he was injured. Although not severe, being defeated within dozens of exchanges instead of a prolonged duel of thousands was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
"Brother Qin, don't be disheartened. He is a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch, while you are only at the early stage. Moreover, he is a core figure of the Immortal Clan, his Immortal Clan bloodline extremely powerful, providing significant assistance. It's normal for you to be no match," other Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides comforted him.
After Qin Hao's defeat, other Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides naturally stepped forward to challenge. Super Heaven's Prides at the mid-stage Quasi-Monarch level also came forward to duel.
The clash between the Quasi-Monarchs from both sides was intense, but Zhao Yu was formidable, mastering Immortal Clan divine abilities. Being personally brought out by a supreme immortal, he was naturally extraordinary. On the Pangu Universe side, three young Quasi-Monarchs took the stage in succession, and all were defeated.
This scene was also witnessed by Ye Chen, though he only paid slight attention. This was because he discovered that his youngest daughter, Ye Jing, had also gone to the Human Sovereign Palace feast.
The so-called Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition held little interest for him. Although, given his age—just over six thousand years—he would be considered a young Heaven's Pride even at such an assembly, as six thousand years was incredibly young relative to a cultivator's long lifespan.
If he wished, he absolutely had the qualification to participate in the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition.
Unfortunately, he could not possibly participate.
Over the years, Ye Chen had experienced much, and his Dao attainment was now unfathomably deep. Having even swept through the Ultimate Ancient Path and the Supreme Ancient Path, how could he possibly regard this with any importance?
Of course, he felt Ye Jing should participate somewhat. This Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly Grand Competition would be of great help to her, providing an excellent opportunity for training.
Based on his understanding of his youngest daughter Ye Jing, with the Azure Feather Immortal Clan Heaven's Pride being so dismissive, Ye Jing would definitely not stand idly by.
Sure enough, after Zhao Yu defeated the fourth Quasi-Monarch Heaven's Pride from the Pangu Universe, Ye Jing made her appearance, instantly startling everyone.
Even the Heaven's Prides from the Primordial Immortal Realm couldn't help but be struck by her beauty.
This was because Ye Jing's beauty was truly peerless, captivating the world. Even among the many fairy maidens of the Primordial Immortal Realm, she would absolutely rank among the first-class beauties. Throughout the vast world, few could compare, and none could surpass her.
Immediately, Heaven's Prides from the Primordial Immortal Realm, including Zhao Yu, felt stirrings of admiration.
Such a peerless beauty actually resided in a declining Ancient Chaos Universe like the Pangu Universe—it felt almost like a waste of a treasure.
Moreover, the Immortal Clan Heaven's Prides could sense that Ye Jing's cultivation was definitely not weak. Daring to take the stage meant she was at least at the Quasi-Monarch level or above. Such supreme beauty coupled with formidable cultivation made her the ideal Dao companion in the eyes of these Immortal Clan Heaven's Prides.
"I'll go."
Ye Jing entered the Divine Abilities Great World, standing opposite Zhao Yu.
The more Zhao Yu looked, the more he liked her. For the first time, his expression was amiable, without a trace of arrogance. "Might I know the fairy's esteemed name? If you could tell me, and we could share a cup of tea, I would directly admit defeat in this battle!"
He actually dared to set his sights on Little Princess Ye Jing!
Everyone was furious. Ye Jing held a special status within the Pangu Universe. She was the youngest daughter of the Invincible Battle Saint King, one of the rulers of the Pangu Universe, and was also pursued by countless Heaven's Prides. Now, this Immortal World Heaven's Pride Zhao Yu actually dared to set his sights on Ye Jing—it was simply seeking death.
Ye Jing's expression was indifferent. "You are too weak. You are not qualified to know."
Zhao Yu was not angered, believing Ye Jing didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He laughed heartily, possessing a certain charm. "Since that's the case, how about a wager? If I can defeat you, you agree to become my Dao companion."
Upon hearing this, not only were the many Pangu Universe Heaven's Prides enraged, but a trace of coldness also appeared on Ye Jing's flawless, beautiful face. How dare he make such an unreasonable demand of her.
"Scram!"
With a light shout, Ye Jing made her move. Zhao Yu had been preparing to show mercy during the duel, not wanting to harm her. But the moment she struck, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart.
"Not good, she's strong!" Zhao Yu's expression changed, realizing he had underestimated her.
However, before he could truly react, the overwhelmingly powerful attack landed on him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
In the blink of an eye, all his defenses were crushed like rotten wood, offering no resistance. Zhao Yu's figure was sent flying, his entire body bruised and battered as he was blasted out of the Divine Abilities Great World.
Instant defeat!
