"Even if we can't become Emperor Realm experts, there's no need to regret it. We should simply strive to reach our own limits through our own efforts."
"After all, how many people throughout history have truly become great Emperors?"
"So we should all take it easy and not put too much pressure on ourselves. That way, our future cultivation will be easier."
Hearing Song Que's words, a glimmer of light gradually returned to Gao Xiaoliang's dim eyes.
"You're talking like someone who's been through it all. You seem to understand this really well?" the Nine Suns Holy Son asked, looking at Song Que with curiosity.
This Song Que was too insightful. His tone was exactly like that of someone who had lived through it all.
Song Que sighed. "If you were born into the Song Family, constantly suppressed like we are, unable to catch up to others no matter how hard you tried, you'd feel the same way."
Song Que understood this so well because his generation in the Song Family was exceptionally outstanding.
For years, three Heavenly Prodigies had always kept Song Que in their shadow. No matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up to them.
This had, however, fostered a healthy mindset in him.
*If I can't catch up to those Heavenly Prodigies, I'll just let things take their course.*
"You're right, I can't possibly understand what you're going through!" the Nine Suns Holy Son said with a laugh. "At the Nine Suns Holy Land, I've always been the one suppressing others. No one among the younger generation can match me."
Song Que took a deep breath and retorted irritably, "You're terrible at small talk. I really want to cut out your tongue so you can't speak."
"That wouldn't work. I'd just grow it back," the Nine Suns Holy Son replied with a smirk.
Song Xuan was about to lose his mind. He threw a punch at the Nine Suns Holy Son, but it was effortlessly caught.
The Nine Suns Holy Son asked with a teasing smile, "Why are you so hot-tempered? I didn't provoke you. Why attack me?"
Song Que was on the verge of madness. He had never encountered such a shameless person, nor someone so utterly obnoxious.
Being with the Nine Suns Holy Son was torture, like being trapped in a hell of knives and flames.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing their predicament, Gao Xiaoliang burst into laughter. Even Qin Tianming couldn't help but chuckle.
One thing was certain: the Nine Suns Holy Son never lacked for entertainment. Provided he wasn't targeting you. If he was, it was pure misery.
"Looks like the old saying holds true: only the wicked can tame the wicked. Only the Cloud Heaven Holy Son can handle him!" Gao Xiaoliang said with a grin.
Only Fang Chen could make the Nine Suns Holy Son look foolish.
"I disagree. No one can tame me. Not even the Cloud Heaven Holy Son," the Nine Suns Holy Son said, his face sour.
"Very well. I've recorded everything on this image stone. I'll show it to the Cloud Heaven Holy Son later," Gao Xiaoliang said, holding up the stone with a smile.
"Give me that image stone!" The Nine Suns Holy Son panicked.
Jokes were jokes, but this was serious. He couldn't let the Cloud Heaven Holy Son see this!
Knowing Cloud Heaven Holy Son's personality, he'd probably find a way to torment him later.
There was nothing he could do about Cloud Heaven Holy Son. He couldn't beat him in a fight, his background paled in comparison, and he couldn't outtalk him. What else could he do?
While the human side celebrated, the Monster Race remained somber.
An oppressive atmosphere hung in the air, making it hard to breathe.
"Even Ao Tianyu couldn't defeat Fang Chen. This Fang Chen is truly formidable!"
"Cloud Heaven Holy Son's power has surpassed our wildest expectations," Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden said gravely.
Before coming here, she had prepared to easily crush Fang Chen. Who knew he would be so strong?
She was fortunate she hadn't encountered Fang Chen earlier. If she had, she would have been the one to lose.
Losing in such a competition would have been a complete humiliation, making it impossible for her to lift her head again.
While losing to Fang Chen wasn't inherently shameful, the thought of their original purpose and overconfident mindset left her utterly mortified.
Before their arrival, they had been confident in their ability to crush Fang Chen.
Yet the result was that even Ao Tianyu, the Monster Race's foremost Heavenly Prodigy, had failed to defeat Fang Chen after such a long time. This was a complete humiliation for them.
"I wonder if Ao Tianyu can actually defeat Fang Chen!"
"If even Ao Tianyu can't defeat Fang Chen, then only the Dragon Clan's Holy Son remains."
"The Dragon Clan's Holy Son hasn't emerged in over a decade. Who knows what his current cultivation level is, or whether he's even a match for the Cloud Heaven Holy Son?"
In truth, Huqiu Bai was also uncertain.
The strength Fang Chen had displayed completely surpassed his imagination, leaving him feeling utterly powerless.
If he were to face Fang Chen himself, he wouldn't stand even the slightest chance.
Moreover, Ao Tianyu was considered one of the most powerful young prodigies in the Monster Race.
If even Ao Tianyu lost, they would have no choice but to rely on the Dragon Clan's Holy Son.
However, the Dragon Clan's Holy Son hadn't emerged in over a decade, leaving his cultivation level completely unknown.
Fang Chen might already be far superior to Ao Qinglong, or he might be far inferior.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Jinglun retorted, his face contorted with displeasure. "If Brother Ao Qinglong were to act, he'd crush that little Fang Chen with a single hand."
"You still haven't determined that?"
Though Fang Chen was undeniably powerful, could he truly compare to Ao Qinglong? Ao Qinglong was the Holy Son of the Dragon Clan, once the foremost Heavenly Prodigy of the Monster Race, who had withdrawn from the world over a decade ago. As such, no one knew the true extent of his current strength.
"Fools know no fear!" Huqiu Bai shot Xue Jinglun a cold glance. He knew Xue Jinglun was merely trying to defend his master, so he couldn't be bothered to argue. The man's talent, cultivation, and vision were all trash. Anyone with even a shred of insight could see how terrifying the battle between Fang Chen and Ao Tianyu was today.
On the arena, Ao Tianyu and Fang Chen continued their fierce combat, neither gaining an advantage as they fought to a standstill.
"Defeating you will be a true challenge!"
Ao Tianyu took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with battle intent.
To be honest, Fang Chen's strength far exceeded his expectations. Though he had always longed for a worthy opponent, Fang Chen's overwhelming power made him a formidable and troublesome foe.
Yet, more than anything, Ao Tianyu felt exhilarated!
How could he not be thrilled to finally find an opponent of comparable strength?
"If I were easily defeated by you, wouldn't it mean the experts of our Cloud Heaven Holy Land have poor judgment?"
"I can't let them down! After all, they've placed all their hopes in me. I am their hope!"
"Therefore, I am destined to sweep away all opposition and suppress all who stand against me!"
Fang Chen declared coldly.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and a bone materialized in his chest, radiating ancient runes. Profound Dao patterns spread outward from the bone, permeating his entire body!
"Great Dao Supreme Bone!"
"Great Dao Domain Art!"
These were Fang Chen's ultimate trump cards, his final reserves.
