As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions changed. The Sect Master of Noon Mountain Sect even shouted with a gloomy face, "You are far too audacious! The Tai'e Immortal King Scripture is a supreme Immortal King scripture. How could someone like you dare to covet it?"
An Immortal King scripture was a supreme immortal scripture that an Immortal King, after attaining the Immortal King fruit, spent who knows how many tens of thousands of years to finally create and perfect. It contained an Immortal King's lifelong insights into the immortal path, simplifying the Great Dao and infusing it within. It was considered incomparably precious, even more valuable than a Supreme Emperor Weapon.
Even just one of its major realm chapters could allow one to glimpse the Great Dao insights of that supreme Immortal King from that realm in the past.
It could be said that even an existence like the Noon Mountain Sect, at the quasi-Monarch level, would absolutely never dare to speak as Tai Xiao had just done.
Wei Yun also looked at Ye Chen in surprise, never expecting his courage to be so great.
Tai Xiao naturally had his own guardians by his side. One of them was a God King. Hearing this, his gaze turned gloomy as he said, "Your Highness, this brat is too arrogant, daring to covet the Tai'e Immortal King Scripture. He deserves death!"
The Tai'e Immortal King Scripture was the secret inheritance of the Tai'e Immortal King lineage. Only important descendants who carried the bloodline of Tai'e Immortal King were qualified to obtain its cultivation chapters, let alone an outsider.
The Sect Master of Noon Mountain Sect said with great trepidation, "Your Highness, please forgive him. This young man does not understand the ways of the world."
These words were not without the intention of shielding Ye Chen. After all, a Great Perfection Supreme Genius had a great chance of attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal in the future. The Noon Mountain Sect cherished talent and did not wish for him to perish unexpectedly.
Ye Chen, however, paid no heed. He looked at Tai Xiao and said, "You don't dare?"
"Ye Chen, enough!" the Sect Master of Noon Mountain Sect urgently shouted, transmitting a voice message secretly: "This is His Highness the Immortal Prince! You must understand, His Highness's father is His Majesty the Immortal King, the true ruler who governs the entire vast Immortal Domain. Even the master of our Crimson Sun Immortal Domain, Crimson Sun True Immortal, must bow respectfully upon meeting His Majesty the Immortal King."
Ye Chen merely smiled. What of an Immortal King? If not for the fact that the Primordial Immortal World had indeed been on good terms with him in the early years, he would have long since taken it by force. Otherwise, how could he allow Tai Xiao to act so high and mighty before his eyes?
Given his status as the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, even an Immortal King would have to be utterly respectful and not dare slight him.
Tai Xiao looked at Ye Chen and smiled. "It can be done."
"Your Highness!"
The guards behind him were astonished.
Tai Xiao said lightly, "This Prince is invincible within the same realm. Could I possibly lose to someone at the early Divine Transformation stage?"
Only then did the guards remember that the kid before them was merely at the early Divine Transformation stage. Even if he was a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, he could absolutely not be compared to an Immortal Prince at the Saint Vault realm.
The God King realm guardian said, "Your Highness is an Immortal Prince, with peerless bloodline. Moreover, you were born at the Saint Vault realm. Even after severing your cultivation, you returned to the Saint Vault realm in just over a dozen years, surpassing even your state at birth. Even if both are Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses, looking across the same realm and generation, aside from other Immortal Princes, no one can contend with Your Highness!"
This was an innate and absolute advantage, the supreme bloodline bestowed by one's father, far surpassing all else.
Boom—
A solid martial stage appeared, constructed from powerful Dao principles. It was itself a powerful secret treasure, no less than a Heavenly King Weapon.
Ye Chen and Tai Xiao both stepped onto it.
As soon as Tai Xiao entered, he began to release his aura. An extremely powerful Saint realm aura rippled out, extraordinary, especially as the Immortal King bloodline within his body began to boil like roaring, astonishing tidal waves.
Just this Saintly might alone was enough to sweep through the Saint Vault realm, finding no match among his generation.
Wei Yun's gaze dimmed. Although she was also a Heaven's Pride of her generation, she felt she was far inferior compared to Tai Xiao.
If they truly fought, she admitted she would not last a single exchange against Tai Xiao.
But soon, Tai Xiao restrained his Saintly might and actively suppressed his cultivation to the early Divine Transformation realm. Calm and confident, he said, "This Prince will not bully you. I will suppress my realm to the first heaven of Divine Transformation, the same as yours. As long as you defeat This Prince, I will naturally impart the Divine Transformation chapter of the Tai'e Immortal King Scripture to you."
Ye Chen suddenly said, "You will regret suppressing your realm."
"Hahaha—" Tai Xiao laughed heartily, with absolute confidence. "I, Tai Xiao, reign supreme and am invincible within the same realm, sweeping through all. I will not regret it. You may make your move."
The others also felt Ye Chen's arrogance was too great, shaking their heads secretly.
Within the Primordial Immortal World, the children of immortal paths being invincible within the same realm was an absolute iron law. Even a Great Perfection Supreme Genius was only on par at best.
Moreover, Tai Xiao was no ordinary child of an immortal path; he was an Immortal Prince, inheriting the supreme bloodline of Tai'e Immortal King. Immortal King bloodline far surpassed immortal path bloodline.
Even in the early stages, the Immortal King bloodline was basically in a sealed state, not showing much advantage. But relying on the Immortal King Scripture, Immortal King techniques, and the like, even though Ye Chen was a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, he lacked corresponding scriptures and divine abilities, creating a gap in this aspect.
"Ye Chen is too young. Although he is a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, so what? His Highness Tai Xiao is also a Great Perfection Supreme Genius. Moreover, cultivating the Immortal King Scripture allows for the greatest possible recovery of divine power, and the divine abilities created by His Majesty the Immortal King are anything but simple, enabling one's strength to be exerted to the greatest possible extent." The Sect Master of Noon Mountain Sect shook his head, but he also felt this battle was good. It could better temper Ye Chen, this Great Perfection Supreme Genius. Moreover, he cherished talent. If possible, he hoped to send him to cultivate by Tai Xiao's side.
With his identity as a Great Perfection Supreme Genius, he would surely stand out quickly. Perhaps in the end, he would be valued by a supreme immortal from the Tai'e Immortal King Domain and taken as a disciple.
He might even be valued by Tai'e Immortal King himself.
Once he became a disciple of Tai'e Immortal King, his chance of attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal in the future would be almost certainly great.
"I seek your guidance!" Ye Chen said.
"Good!" Tai Xiao was not polite either. Given his status, guiding a mere first heaven Divine Transformation cultivator was not excessive.
Both being Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses, the might displayed upon striking was no less than that of a super Divine Transformation seventh heaven expert, striking horizontally at Ye Chen.
Streaks of immortal light scattered, covering the sky and earth, extremely astonishing.
Just this move alone was enough to make many super Divine Transformation experts treat it with gravity, not daring to be careless.
However, Ye Chen ignored it indifferently. In an instant, he charged forward, his physique peerless, directly shattering layer upon layer of immortal light, forcefully and directly dismantling them, arriving before Tai Xiao.
"Impossible!"
Not only Tai Xiao, but everyone outside the martial stage also found it hard to believe. Ye Chen had shattered Tai Xiao's attack relying solely on his physical body. Although that was just a casual strike, it was far beyond what an early Divine Transformation cultivator could resist. Even if both were Great Perfection Supreme Geniuses, one would need to concentrate and prepare. How could it be like Ye Chen, directly and forcefully dismantling it into nothingness? It could be described as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood!
"Has this kid hidden his strength? No, he is indeed only at the early Divine Transformation realm, but his physical body is incredibly formidable."
A God King said in surprise, able to vaguely sense Ye Chen's peerless physique, which was quite astonishing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have crushed Tai Xiao's attack like dry weeds and rotten wood.
After a moment of shock, Tai Xiao immediately focused, not daring to be careless. He shouted loudly, "Tai'e Sword Art!"
This was a world-shaking sword art created by Tai'e Immortal King. With just one sword, it could sever the sun, moon, and stars, and bury the myriad heavens!
