It was a giant leopard, jet black all over, with shiny fur like black silk, charging all the way like a bolt of black lightning.
The black giant leopard stepped on the void and suddenly let out a roar. The violent sound waves shook the void so violently that it trembled.
Behind the giant leopard was pulling a sedan chair, also made of immortal gold. The carriage was massive, resembling a palace, with tens of thousands of young warriors dressed in white and long swords at their waists standing atop it. Their faces were arrogant as they stared coldly ahead.
Four beautiful girls in white lifted a curtain, and a man stepped out.
The man was tall and slender, with long hair draped over his shoulders, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was very handsome, dressed in pure white clothes, looking noble and extraordinary.
Behind his head was a three-foot-diameter halo, within which sun, moon, and stars seemed to flow. Divine rays descended, enveloping him, making him look like a divine king descended to earth.
He possesses a pair of sharp eyes, like two sharp swords, making people afraid to meet their gaze.
As soon as he appeared, people could clearly feel the power of the Heavenly Dao surging and flowing toward him, as if worship, as if a single glance from him could command all paths.
People were shocked. The insignia of the Divine Clan on the chariot meant this person was also from the Divine Clan. The Divine Clan had yet produced another terrifying Imperial Seedling.
"Long Aotian, why should I give you face? Have you forgotten that when we underwent tribulation on the Eternal Road, did that guy named Long Chen ever give us face?
That time, he caused us to fail our tribulation. Fortunately, the family head intervened in time, swapping our worlds so we could complete the tribulation.
Don't tell me you forgot about this, and don't mention that this Long Chen is not the same Long Chen, because I've already investigated thoroughly—this Long Chen is the same as Long Chen from that time.
How? Long Aotian, always proud and arrogant, was he planning to forget his past just to win over a loyal lackey?
Maybe you, Long Aotian, can forget, but I, Ye Liangchen, will not. If you refuse to accept this, we'll make a bet: after Long Chen comes out, under your protection, I can still kill him. Ye Liangchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Long Aotian from afar.
Long Aotian frowned and said, "Ye Liangchen, times have changed. Right now, the Tianwu Continent is in a critical period of needing people, and now is the time for everyone to unite and resist the foreign enemy."
Any grudges could wait until after the Dark War ended; being petty now would be beneath his dignity. "
Hahaha, come on, that's a loss of status?" Do you really think our Ye family is fools?
Your Long family isn't interested in Long Chen's potential; you want to extract the secrets he possesses, to find out how he trained a bunch of trash into elite soldiers.
Is it interesting to say all this now with a sanctimonious attitude? Who could you fool? Ye Liangchen laughed heartily, his voice full of mockery.
The powerful figures present suddenly understood. They finally understood that this Ye Liangchen was from the Ye family of the Divine Clan, while Long Aotian was from the Long family.
It was said that the Long family and the Ye family had longstanding conflicts, so it was no wonder they clashed as soon as they met. However, Ye Liangchen's words were sharp, leaving the Long family no face at all, bluntly claiming that the Long family's attempt to win over Long Chen was a conspiracy.
Just as Ye Liangchen and Long Aotian appeared one after another, powerful figures from various factions also arrived. All the big shots from the entire Tianwu Continent had gathered here. As soon as Ye Liangchen said this, many people secretly transmitted their voices and whispered among themselves.
You have to understand, what Ye Liangchen said does make sense. Long Chen rose all the way from the Eastern Wilderness, and there are too many unreasonable things about him.
He used to be nothing more than a useless cultivator, but suddenly rose like a comet. What's even more baffling is that he led a group of useless people to the top, forcibly turning a group of inconspicuous people into the world-shaking Dragon Blood Legion.
Anyone with a bit of sense knows that Long Chen must have his secrets. But as Long Chen's status keeps rising, those who set their sights on him no longer have the courage.
But today, when Ye Liangchen brought it up, everyone's hearts tightened. Although the Divine Clan is lofty, whether the Long family covets Long Chen's secret is really uncertain.
Some people secretly admired Ye Liangchen. His words were ruthless. In this way, the Long family's attempt to win over Long Chen would have a different meaning, stirring up conflict between Long Chen and the Long family.
A trace of coldness flashed deep in Long Aotian's eyes. Clearly, Ye Liangchen's words had enraged him—it was a humiliation to the Long family.
"Ye Liangchen, don't judge a gentleman with a petty mind." Long Aotian said coldly.
"Am I a petty person?" Hehehe, this is really funny. If your Long family were all upright gentlemen, they wouldn't have ... back then," Ye Liangchen sneered.
"Shut up!"
Long Aotian shouted sharply, like a bolt from a clear sky exploding in the void, making everyone's eardrums ring, as if their souls were about to explode. People felt their souls trembling uncontrollably, and the voice sounded like a divine rebuke, filling them with endless fear.
"Such a terrifying will!"
People were terrified. With a sharp shout, a violent pressure erupted. The power of souls attached to the will erupted, making it impossible to sense the power of the Heavenly Dao for an instant.
It was as if Long Aotian's shout stripped away the power of the Heavenly Dao. At that moment, everyone was stunned—what kind of power was this? Without the power of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn't everyone be at his mercy?
"Truly worthy of being an Emperor Miao level expert. After advancing to the Great Perfection of Tongming, he began to merge with the Heavenly Dao, which is like stepping into that realm with half a foot." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
The speaker was none other than Tianyu Zhenren, the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace. She had also arrived.
As the oldest and most experienced powerhouse on the Tianwu Continent, no one knew her true age. All they knew was that those of her generation had probably all died.
Yet Master Tianyu always maintained the appearance of a woman in her twenties, making countless women envious to madness. She was the only one who could preserve both her cultivation and beauty.
There are many elderly men in the cultivation world, but few old women, because men are not afraid of aging, but women fear aging the most.
Therefore, they would rather spend most of their lifespan for youth; when their lifespan is exhausted, they would rather accept a beautiful death than accept the passing of time.
Master Tianyu is an extremely mysterious presence on the Tianwu Continent. Almost everyone calls her 'senior.' Now, as soon as she spoke, she immediately drew countless glances.
"Senior, what realm is above Tongming?" Why can't we say this? "Someone couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he asked, countless people's expressions changed. He was an elder-level expert from a sect, at the third level of Tongming. As soon as he finished asking, the sect leader scolded him and immediately apologized to Master Tianyu.
Master Tianyu smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I can't say it, but because the next realm is related to heaven, and speaking out will bring karma."
Among each generation of strong warriors, whoever utters that name will be subject to karmic consequences and may die an untimely death.
The unpredictability of Heaven's way is not actually a lament, but a warning—not to speculate, because Heaven does not favor it.
Anyone who likes to ponder the Heavenly Dao ends up with a bad outcome. Back then, wasn't the Tianji Sect destroyed?
What they calculated was only the surface of heavenly secrets, what they calculated were people. If they had calculated the evolution of the heavenly way, they would have been destroyed long agoThat's it.
This is also why many people here know the name of this realm but do not tell their disciples. Because whether speaking or listening, one must be tainted by karma, unless ..."
"Unless what?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
"Unless someone guesses this realm and reveals the secret, this name will no longer be taboo.
But the first person to say this name will be in trouble and will suffer divine punishment. That's why the older generation has seriously warned you not to guess recklessly. If you guess correctly, you'll be in trouble. "Master Tianyu said.
Everyone suddenly understood; no wonder they were sternly scolded when asked about the older generation of strong warriors back then.
"Wait, since you can't even say it? Why would anyone know? Someone asked in confusion.
"Because among the older generation, some unlucky ones casually blurted it out, and then that guy died, which helped everyone.
So the generation of people in that generation knew about it, but the name was limited to that generation; those born later could not say that name. An elderly man, holding a cane, sighed.
"I wonder who the unlucky one this year is." Someone muttered.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that this secret would soon be unraveled. The Tianwu Continent had entered its heyday, and those geniuses were all breaking through to Tongming. After advancing, there would surely be even more loose-lipped individuals who carelessly revealed it, and the mystery would be solved.
"Long Aotian, don't yell at me. Thirty-seven battles, and every time it's just a draw. Do you think just having a loud voice can scare me, Ye Liangchen?" Facing Long Aotian's furious roar, Ye Liangchen sneered, but in the end, he didn't bring up the previous topic again.
Judging by his tone, the two had faced off many times before, but they were evenly matched, neither able to suppress the other.
"Ye Liangchen, with me here, you can't kill Long Chen, and the Divine Clan won't allow you to do this either.
If you only want to humiliate Long Chen, perhaps the Divine Clan won't do anything to you, but if you want to kill him, you will face the harshest punishment. Long Aotian said coldly.
"It's just a dog. Even if I kill him, what difference does it make? Would the gods really think a dog would make me pay with my life? How funny—today I insist on killing Long Chen. Let's see who can stop me.
I admit I can't defeat you, but you can't do anything to me either. I want to kill Long Chen, and you can't stop me. If you don't accept it, we'll make a bet. Ye Liangchen said calmly.
"Rumble rumble...
At that moment, another war chariot roared in. Seeing that chariot, Ye Liangchen chuckled and said, "
Jiang Wuchen is here too. The tribulation crossing back then has reached three of them. I want to see if you can stop the two of us from making a fight."
