At that, the High-Level Heavenly Vault beings couldn't help sneering. They thought Xia Huanyu's words were too far-fetched.
People like Xia Huanyu, the Immortal Venerable Successor, Hua Junxuan, and Gu Wuliang had all reached the limits of the Immortal Emperor realm. Their combat prowess might differ even within the same realm, but never by much. If they fought, it would be hard to say who would win.
The strongest person Xia Huanyu spoke of did exist, but how much stronger could he be than the Immortal Venerable Successor at the same realm? Xia Huanyu made it sound as though he could defeat him in an instant. That was impossible.
"Are you saying this to shake my resolve?" The Immortal Venerable Successor looked at Xia Huanyu, his expression calm.
"So you don't believe me?" Xia Huanyu shot back.
"Belief or disbelief doesn't matter." The Immortal Venerable Successor spoke evenly. "I may not be the strongest right now, but I'll keep growing stronger until I catch up to my master's former strength at the same realm."
"Catch up to your master?" Xia Huanyu's purple-gold Daoist robe fluttered. "With your talent and comprehension, you have no hope of catching up to your master, Young Heaven, at the same realm."
There had been very few Young Heavens throughout history. Only a select few existed, and at the same realm, their combat prowess stood in a league of its own.
The Immortal Venerable Successor was incredibly strong, almost monstrous. He had even gone to the Ancient God Clan and received guidance from the Progenitor, all of which proved he was extraordinary. If he could grow to his full potential, he might become a Super Creature.
But Xia Huanyu didn't think he could surpass, or even reach, the level of a Young Heaven.
