Well, well!
Another formidable character has arrived!
When Shangguan Yu appeared earlier, the sky was filled with rainbows. Under the auspicious guardianship of a dragon and phoenix, he descended from the heavens riding a seven-colored cloud of good fortune, like a true son of destiny, a deity descending to the mortal realm.
And now, Shi Tian appears, draped in ten thousand zhang of golden light, like a domineering sun slowly rising, illuminating the earth. The lion-tiger hybrid beast beneath his feet breathes clouds and mist, appearing exceptionally fierce.
It must be said that Shi Tian truly lives up to his title as the 'World Little Tyrant'. The might of his single shout surged into the heavens, shaking mountains and rivers, truly earth-shattering. As a result, the cultivators gathered in the Weiyang Great Domain either fell from the sky, fled in panic, or retreated to avoid his presence. Even those great perfection Luo Tian Immortals and loose immortals who had weathered over a dozen tribulations were no exception.
The area around the Shangqing Sect was originally densely packed with immortals, but at this moment, only a sparse few groups remained.
One group consisted of over ten people led by the Taiji Human Prodigy Shangguan Yu.
Another group comprised several Golden Immortal elders of the Immortal Dynasty, led by Xun Daolin.
Yet another group included the Female Sect Master Ye Tianlan, the little Heir Apparent Yun Wan, and an old woman.
There was also a group of over ten deeply hidden experts led by the Grand Heir Apparent Qin Yang.
Besides these, there were two more groups.
One group of over twenty people was led by a man of graceful bearing, with a face like fine jade, a gentle yet somewhat yin aura, and dark, profound eyes. A faint smile played on his lips. Dressed in a light blue robe, he stood there quietly, giving the impression of a full moon in the night sky. Though its radiance might seem dim, no one could ignore his presence.
The leaders of the various major sects present were all astonished upon seeing this graceful young lord, for they all knew this moon-like lord was none other than the legendary figure known as the Holy Dragon's Son—the Third Prince.
Speaking of the Third Prince.
He is absolutely a mysterious legend of the Present Era.
Legend has it that when the Third Prince was born, a seven-colored holy dragon appeared to guard him, marking him as the Holy Dragon's Son born in response to destiny.
Not only that.
It is said that the Third Prince possesses as many as nine destinies upon his person. Whether these nine destinies are Imperial Mandates, Heavenly Mandates, or True Mandates, no one knows.
However, what is most praised is the Immortal Dynasty Third Prince's cultivation speed: he laid his foundation in one day, established his true body in nine days, opened his Purple Mansion in eighteen days, condensed his Golden Core in twenty-seven days, gathered his Nascent Soul in thirty-six days, nurtured his Primordial Spirit in forty-five days, gave birth to his Dao-heart in fifty-four days, derived his Dharma Idol in sixty-three days, achieved Earth Immortal in seventy-two days, and ascended to become an immortal in eighty-one days.
This is the famously world-shaking 'Eighty-One Days to Immortality' of the Immortal Dynasty Third Prince, hailed as the fastest in history since ancient times.
Whether in the Present Era, the Ancient Era, or even the Primal Era, if one speaks of the speed of achieving immortality, it belongs to this Immortal Dynasty Third Prince. At least, that's what many believe.
Guarded by a seven-colored holy dragon.
Possessing nine destinies.
The ultimate achiever of immortality in eighty-one days.
The Immortal Dynasty Third Prince is absolutely a peerless genius who gathers ten thousand fortunes upon himself, and the undisputed future ruler of the Immortal Dynasty.
Not long ago, it was heard that the Immortal Dynasty Third Prince was also appointed as the Immortal Path Law Enforcer of this world.
What does this mean?
It means the status and position of the Immortal Dynasty Third Prince have almost transcended all the immortals of this world. Representing the enforcement of the Immortal Path, his noble status is such that not only those Luo Tian Immortals, but even Golden Immortals of the Immortal Dynasty like Xun Daolin must bow respectfully upon seeing the Third Prince.
However.
Today's arrivals are not limited to the Third Prince.
Not far away, there is another group, also over ten people strong. Their leader is also a lord of graceful bearing. This lord's appearance is absolutely peerlessly handsome, breathtakingly beautiful—one could even call it bewitching.
Yes.
Peerlessly handsome, breathtakingly beautiful.
Judging solely by appearance, one simply cannot tell if he is male or female.
If he is a man, he must be the most handsome man in the world.
If she is a woman, she must be the most beautiful woman in the world.
None can surpass.
His aura is both dragon-like and phoenix-like. He simply stands there, like the great sun, yet also like the night moon; like light, yet also like darkness.
His elegance, his grace, his nobility, seem innate, as if formed by nature itself.
Both the Immortal Dynasty Third Prince and the Human Prodigy Shangguan Yu, hailed as the world's leader, can be considered first-rate handsome men of the contemporary era. Their auras are transcendent, exceptionally handsome, noble, and elegant. Yet compared to this lord, they seem to fall short by a few degrees. The difference is like that between something perfected through later effort and something naturally formed.
In this world, there was once a phrase used to describe this lord:
'On the road, a person like jade; a lord peerless in the world.'
This person is precisely the new master of the Chixiao Sect—the Peerless Lord, the Zixiao King!
The Grand Heir Apparent of Shangqing Sect, the Third Prince of the Immortal Dynasty, and the Zixiao King of the Chixiao Sect—these three are hailed as the leaders of the contemporary era's three great prodigies, and also as the three great giants of the Present Era.
One commands the inner sect of Shangqing Sect, where tigers and dragons lie hidden.
One commands the Purple Gold Hall of the Immortal Dynasty, where prodigies gather like clouds.
One commands the Zixiao Pavilion of the Chixiao Sect, where experts stand dense as a forest.
However.
Each of the three is more low-key than the last. Since the opening of the Present Era, many might have heard of these three figures, but few have truly seen them. For so many years, the three have rarely made public appearances and have not accomplished any earth-shattering feats.
As for what identities they truly hold, what backgrounds they possess, what existences they are—no one knows.
The only thing known is that all three are existences beyond imagination. If not, the prodigies of the Present Era and the experts of the Ancient Era, those bearers of Imperial Mandates and Heavenly Mandates, would not willingly follow their lead.
Leaving aside other matters.
Just the people standing behind these three are definitely not ordinary individuals.
Earlier, when Shi Tian let out his mighty roar, even Luo Tian Immortals had no choice but to retreat and avoid his edge. Even a Golden Immortal like Xun Daolin was slightly affected. Yet, those mysterious experts standing behind these three did not even furrow their brows. Just think with your toes, and you'll know how terrifying these people must be.
Think about it.
If such a group of people is only fit to stand behind the three great giants, then how terrifying must the three great giants themselves be?
No one knows.
Not even their names are known, especially that of the Zixiao King. Whether 'he' is male or female remains a mystery to this day.
Now, these three mysterious existences have finally made a public appearance. Under ordinary circumstances, everyone might be excited and thrilled, after all, it's the first public appearance of these three mysterious giants. And with the presence of Shi Tian, hailed as the 'World Little Tyrant,' and the Taiji Human Prodigy Shangguan Yu, hailed as the world's leader bearing the True Mandate, plus the addition of the legendary Female Sect Master from the Ancient Era—such a lineup, such a scene, is absolutely no less grand than any major gathering.
However.
After all, a Calamity Star has descended upon the world right now. No one is in the mood to appreciate the splendor of these giants. Everyone is concerned about the descended Calamity Star.
Concerned they may be.
But none dare to step forward, only watching silently from afar.
This includes True Court Immortal Masters who have cultivated for thousands of years. Even the Zhenyang Wine Immortal, who loves to join in the excitement, is no exception. Though he may not want to admit it, he has to acknowledge that he and those giants are simply not on the same level. It's like an ant and a tiger. Now that the tigers are at play, what can a mere ant do besides watching the excitement from a distance?
