Young Master Tiancheng said, "Speaking of which, my lord has quite a connection with you, sir. You have inherited the lineage of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor, purely cultivating the flesh body. My lord is also like you, focusing primarily on flesh body cultivation. However, my lord's flesh body cultivation absolutely sweeps across his generation. Even within the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, he is a peerless existence who reigns supreme among the younger generation."
"Although you defeated Long Yuan, Iron Chain, and Xuan Yi, if my lord were to act, he could suppress them with a mere raise of his hand, without the slightest effort!"
Everyone was astonished. Another young supreme being who purely cultivated the flesh body?
Who exactly was he?
Ye Chen was not angered and asked directly, "Who is your lord?"
"His name is—" Young Master Tiancheng spoke each word slowly, filled with infinite reverence and fervor, "Desolate Heaven!"
Desolate Heaven?
Ye Chen frowned. He had never heard of this name and did not know who it was.
Martial God, Da Wei, and the Ten Great Divine Sons clearly hadn't heard of him either.
However, the Zhenyu Imperial Son's face gradually revealed an unprecedented look of extreme shock. He looked at Young Master Tiancheng, seemingly unable to believe it, and asked, "Dare I ask, Young Master Tiancheng, is the Desolate Heaven you speak of the legendary Desolate Heaven, the only son of Huang Shenzun?"
Young Master Tiancheng nodded. "That's right, he is indeed the son of Huang Shenzun!"
Seeing that the others were still full of confusion, the Zhenyu Imperial Son took a deep breath of cold air, barely calming himself, and said to Ye Chen and the others with a bitter smile, "You've just arrived in Boundless City, so you probably aren't clear yet. But you should know the top force in Boundless City, which is the Wuliang Palace."
Everyone nodded. That the Wuliang Palace was the top force in Boundless City was indisputable; it was even the top force in the entire Boundless Realm.
Only the Wuliang Palace dared to name itself with the words 'Wuliang' (Boundless), which spoke volumes.
"The Wuliang Palace is incomparably powerful. Even if all the experts of the Southern Wilderness Boundary City were combined, they would be far inferior to the Wuliang Palace, which possesses twenty Giants. Among them, the undisputed strongest is Huang Shenzun," the Zhenyu Imperial Son explained. "Huang Shenzun is not only number one in the Wuliang Palace but also number one in the Boundless Realm, supremely powerful. It is said his cultivation surpasses that of the other Giants, reaching a legendary realm. Such a figure is an ultimate existence that even my father would look up to."
"Although Huang Shenzun is the number one figure in the Boundless Realm, he has only one son: Desolate Heaven."
"I've heard that Desolate Heaven's talent is even stronger than Huang Shenzun's was in his youth. He is also the undisputed number one among the younger generation in the Boundless Realm."
"Over the years, countless Heaven's Prides have passed through Boundless City. There have even been extraordinary Heaven's Prides stronger than us, the offspring of Giants. But whenever Desolate Heaven acted, he swept through invincibly, suppressing all opponents."
After hearing the Zhenyu Imperial Son's explanation, Martial God and the Ten Great Divine Sons were both immensely shocked. This Desolate Heaven actually had such an astonishing background.
His father was Huang Shenzun, the ultimate strongest in the Boundless Realm, and he was the only son. One could imagine the endless resources he was born with and his astonishing bloodline.
No wonder he dared to claim supremacy among his peers across the cosmos. However, for Young Master Tiancheng to claim that Desolate Heaven dared to say he reigned supreme among his peers even within the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, the core region of the Origin Land, was perhaps too exaggerated.
As if aware of their doubts, Young Master Tiancheng said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Lord Desolate Heaven is not only the son of Huang Shenzun but also a member of the Desolate Heaven Race!"
"The Desolate Heaven Race!"
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed.
Having reached this stage, they had gradually come to understand that within the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, there existed supreme, paramount beings who ruled over the entire Origin Land, known as Heavenly Venerates.
The descendants of Heavenly Venerates were the Eternal Heavenly Races.
The Desolate Heaven Race was one of these Eternal Heavenly Races, inheriting the bloodline of a supreme Heavenly Venerate. One could imagine.
In comparison, so-called imperial clans and royal clans were not worth mentioning. Within those eternally invincible Eternal Heavenly Races, countless Giants had been born throughout the ages, and the Heavenly Races themselves possessed many imperial clans.
Young Master Tiancheng said proudly, "As long as you, sir, are willing to follow Lord Desolate Heaven, Lord Desolate Heaven has said that your combat power is world-shaking and you are qualified to join the ranks of his War Gods, becoming the Thirteenth War God!"
When mentioning the War Gods, Young Master Tiancheng revealed a look of fervor.
Desolate Heaven had many followers, but among them, there were strong and weak. Even someone like Young Master Tiancheng could be considered an outstanding talent among them, yet he still wasn't among the very top.
The top followers were bestowed the title of War God by Desolate Heaven.
Desolate Heaven currently had twelve War Gods under him. Each War God was a peerless Heaven's Pride who shook the heavens across the great realms, almost all being the number one among the younger generation of their respective major realm.
Moreover, those major realms were not places like the Southern Wilderness that could be compared; they were strong realms teeming with powerful experts.
The Twelve War Gods were each so formidable in combat that they suppressed all Heaven's Prides within their respective realms, hence being granted the name War God.
The Twelve War Gods represented the twelve strongest under Desolate Heaven.
They were also the twelve people Desolate Heaven focused on cultivating. When Desolate Heaven reached an extremely high level in the future, without a doubt, the Twelve War Gods would also follow him to that height.
Now, Ye Chen, having forcefully and overwhelmingly defeated three offspring of Giants, was also recognized by Desolate Heaven as qualified to become the Thirteenth War God.
"As long as you, sir, are willing to follow Lord Desolate Heaven, in the future, you can accompany Lord Desolate Heaven to the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, witness his invincible demeanor by his side. Even the strongest Heaven's Prides of the heavens would inevitably be suppressed one by one before Lord Desolate Heaven. Naturally, one day, you could even follow Lord Desolate Heaven into the Desolate Heaven Race and become a member of the Heavenly Race." As he said this, Young Master Tiancheng himself felt a strong sense of yearning.
The Eternal Heavenly Races were supreme and paramount, the most powerful, immortal legacies ruling the world.
Compared to them, so-called imperial clans and royal clans were like ants.
Becoming a member of a Heavenly Race, even just an ordinary clansman, held unparalleled status within the Origin Land.
"War God!"
"Heavenly Race!"
Young Master Tiancheng looked at Ye Chen. He believed that neither of these was a temptation that could be refused.
Faced with someone like Desolate Heaven, the son of Huang Shenzun and a clansman of a Heavenly Race, even the Zhenyu Imperial Son felt a sense of looking up and let out a bitter laugh.
However, Ye Chen's expression remained calm. "Finished?"
Young Master Tiancheng nodded. "Finished. What is your opinion, sir?"
He had strong confidence. In his view, Ye Chen could not possibly refuse such temptation.
"Not interested." Ye Chen stood up and turned to leave.
His Dao heart was invincible, and deep down, he faintly felt that he himself was invincible across the heavens.
He had even managed to bow to death an ultimate Giant like the Chitian Imperial Ancestor, let alone a mere Desolate Heaven.
If they truly fought, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still bow him to death.
Of course, Ye Chen was confident he was peerless in his generation and wouldn't resort to such methods.
Young Master Tiancheng was slightly stunned, as if he hadn't expected anyone could still refuse Desolate Heaven's recruitment. Watching Ye Chen's departing back, he said, "Sir, one day, you will willingly follow Lord Desolate Heaven."
Ye Chen left without looking back, leaving only a voice behind: "Perhaps that day will be when Desolate Heaven wants to follow me."
Young Master Tiancheng was taken aback, then sneered.
What arrogance!
He turned and entered a void-like place, reporting the outcome of this matter to Lord Desolate Heaven.
"Quite arrogant. But he will soon realize how naive and ignorant his words today were." A cold voice came from the void, not paying any heed to Ye Chen's words.
Young Master Tiancheng said, "Rest assured, War God. He simply hasn't witnessed Your Highness's strength, which is why he is so confident. Once he sees it in the future, he will surely submit!"
As he said this, he recalled witnessing His Highness's strength in the past. That level of strength remained vivid in his mind even after a hundred years, deeply remembered, impossible to forget even a fraction.
