Zhou Huang is very famous in the Initial Land, belonging to the top tier of people, and has an extremely noble status.
He is an unparalleled genius of the Phoenix Clan, Child of Destiny, born to face calamity.
If her age were converted to human terms, she would be under eighty years old.
At such a "young age," he has already reached the Mid-Rank Dao Monarch; one can only imagine how fast he cultivates.
However, this legendary Female Monarch was found with her neck choked, her hair disheveled, and her face covered in blood.
The assembled prodigies below froze, their expressions frozen in shock.
The entire area fell into a deathly silence at that moment; you could hear a pin drop.
That's Mid-Rank Dao Monarch!
In the sky, Ling Qinghe, the Child of Destiny from the Kaiyang Sacred Land, was equally stunned and couldn't react for a long time.
"Ah!!"
A sharp roar shattered the silence.
Zhou Huang struggled desperately. She never expected that she, who was born to face calamity and ranked among the middle-level Monarch, would end up like this.
Whoosh!
Ablaze illuminated the world, Zhou Huang sprouted a pair of golden wings on his back. With a flap of his wings, terrifying divine fire scorched the heavens and earth.
She was like a blazing Great Sun, her flames dripping onto a Dao Monarch, who nearly exploded on the spot.
The True Saints each protected their juniors as they fled the scene. A Mid-Rank Dao Monarch unleashed his power, and he was from the legendary Phoenix Clan; his might was unimaginable.
Bang! Bang!
The blazing heat of the Blazing Sun ravaged the earth, and nearby towering mountains vanished in an instant.
In an instant, this place resembled a raging Fire Domain, as if Heavenly Fire had fallen to earth. The temperature at its center was terrifyingly high, enough to incinerate an Early-Rank Dao Monarch on the spot.
Ling Qinghe stepped back, her eyes narrowing slightly. Zhou Huang had used a forbidden technique of the Phoenix Clan, but that large hand remained boundless and tightly gripped Zhou Huang's snow-white neck.
With a loud boom, a ray of mysterious light pierced through the deep sky, extinguishing all the nearby fires.
"Chaos Dao!"
Another face showed a furrowed brow; Zhou Huang was his companion, yet he had been so humiliated.
He was about to lend a hand when he discovered that the situation had changed again. Zhou Huang let out a shrill scream, and the golden wings on her back shrank a bit.
"Stop!!"
Xu Yuan's face instantly darkened. He immediately exerted his strength, raising his hand and unleashing Tianluo -like God Chain Order that pressed down. Wherever it passed, the Heavenly Thunder like a flood bursting its banks, causing the entire Kaiyang Sacred Land to rise and fall.
Jiang Ping slightly raised his eyes and withdrew his hand.
The Tianluo dissipated in mid-air. Xu Yuan was concerned about Zhou Huang, whose realm was still unstable after breaking through to the Great Gate, and there were even signs of her realm falling.
With a resounding boom, the Dao Chapter illuminated the universe. Xu Yuan used his extraordinary abilities to heal Zhou Huang, but the effect was not good, and he needed rare and precious medicines from the Great Dao to treat her.
He hurriedly left with Zhou Huang, and before leaving, he gave Jiang Ping a cold glance.
Jiang Ping had already turned his back to her, not even glancing at her, and was looking at his daughter with a kind smile.
"Father."
Jiang Yao walked over and greeted her obediently. Her face didn't show much expression, but the shock in her eyes was undeniable.
Her father was able to defeat Mid-Rank Dao Monarch.
"I see, the little girl's father is Jiang Ping."
Surrounded by mountains, many powerful figures stood, and many people, alarmed, rushed over, causing a complete uproar.
They stared at the father and daughter, somewhat lost in thought, feeling as if it were all unreal.
Who would have thought that this monstrous genius who broke into the top ten of the Heavenly Pride Tournament had such a formidable father behind him?
"That little girl is already a once-in-a-lifetime genius, but her His Father is none other than the renowned Jiang Ping. Two Supreme in one family—that's just too... abnormal."
"The rumors are true. Jiang Ping gave birth to an exceptional daughter. Other families have a Qilin Son who is considered extremely lucky, but Jiang Ping has such a descendant entirely because he is too extraordinary and has too much talent. Therefore, inheriting only a portion of her talent is enough to make him stand out among his Peers."
"Damn it, why don't I have a dad as awesome as that?"
Some people are still reeling from what they just witnessed.
Jiang Yao had just earned her reputation as a prodigy, but her biological father was even more formidable, defeating Mid-Rank Dao Monarch with a single hand. Such prowess was truly Gu Shuo.
"The key point is, isn't he the true saint?"
"Of course. A friend of Yu Changqing once revealed that once his Chaos Body was half-constructed, he could injure Mid-Rank Dao Monarch. Without a doubt, Jiang Ping has already established himself at that level."
Many Dao Monarch fell silent for a moment.
This should have been their home ground, a place for supreme beings, but a true saint stole their glory.
"Father!!"
Faced with the powerful figures, Jiang Yirou shouted and excitedly ran over.
In an attempt to ride on her sister's and father's popularity, she held onto Jiang Ping's arm with one hand and led the girl in the black dress by the other.
"That's Jiang Ping's daughter too. Could she be yet another monster?"
Many people scrutinized the unassuming Jiang Yirou and began to wonder about her life story.
"Brother Hao, shouldn't you go and pay your respects to your uncle? I think you're no less capable than Sister Yao."
A young woman looked at the handsome young man beside her and whispered.
Not far away, a stern-faced man stood with a rather gloomy expression.
"Brother Xu, please restrain yourself. That's Jiang Ping!"
His companion noticed the man's displeasure and tried to comfort him telepathically.
The three great Chaos Body of our time are all extremely extraordinary.
Even if they are already Dao Monarch, they are probably still slightly inferior to Lei Fang, let alone Jiang Ping.
Xu Qing frowned, remaining silent.
Jiang Ping had killed two of the most outstanding talents in the Wendaomeng in the past, and now he had even injured his clansman's companion...
The era of Tianjiao will end in a different way.
Lei Fang gazed at the dazzling figure in the sky and called out, "Junior Sister Ling!"
He wanted to introduce his junior Junior Sister to Jiang Ping.
The Initial Land was not as peaceful as imagined; the competition was fierce, and Ling Qinghe and Zhou Huang were not on the same side, so there would be disputes.
If my Junior Sister can get Jiang Ping's support, it will be a significant help.
Ling Qinghe nodded slightly to Lei Fang, then turned and left.
Lei Fang's expression froze. He had already tried to send a telepathic message, but the other party refused.
Jiang Ping didn't take it seriously, saying, "She and Zhou Huang are both legendary Child of Destiny. I injured Zhou Huang, which she might consider an offense to that circle of people."
Lei Fang explained, "That's definitely not the case. My Junior Sister is very sensible; otherwise, she wouldn't have stood up for Yao."
"I think she only intervened to save face. After all, this competition is hosted by your Kaiyang Sacred Land, and the rules can't be broken. If she were truly determined to protect Miss Yao, she wouldn't have let Zhou Huang intervene. In the end, it's the father who has to clean up the mess."
Daozhen said.
Lei Fang was speechless for a moment, sighing inwardly. How could his Junior Sister be so aloof at a time like this? He felt that Jiang Ping was a man of great potential and should not be underestimated.
As time passed, the turmoil did not subside; instead, it spread throughout the entire Kaiyang Sacred Land.
"He's actually gone that far."
Zhu Xuan, who was entertaining his fellow disciples, was stunned upon receiving the news.
Even the monster Wang Ping fell silent.
Pei Kong smiled, then changed his mind. "I'm looking forward to how things develop."
He had been in Kaiyang for many days and had been ridiculed by the disciples of the Ziwei Sacred Land. He always felt that he could get revenge in the future.
"To defeat Mid-Rank Dao Monarch, what terrifying strength."
Many people found it hard to believe and felt somewhat dazed after hearing it.
With the strength of a True Saint, he overpowered Mid-Rank Dao Monarch and humiliated the Child of Destiny. Many people were deeply shocked, as if they were listening to a myth.
"He's gotten even stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yourong from the Destiny Hall was momentarily lost in thought, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as if she regretted not being able to personally witness her splendor.
The Destiny Sword spoke, "That fellow is truly remarkable; his offspring are no less talented than you. No wonder his destiny is so profound and brilliant."
Discussions were Giant City in Kaiyang, all revolving around this shocking and explosive news.
"His progress in the Chaos Body stage is already more than halfway complete, doesn't that mean he'll soon be able to reach the Dao Monarch level?"
"This is highly likely. Many people say that Jiang Ping will not achieve enlightenment for another hundred years, but it seems that it won't take that long."
"Yes, his strength is one aspect, but his progress is too astonishing. His talent is even greater than imagined. Many people compare him to Ren Ran, Xie Wen, and others, but I think that's a bit of an underestimation. His aptitude is even above Ren Ran and Xu Qing."
"That makes sense; otherwise, a monster-level genius like Jiang Yao wouldn't exist."
The prodigies of all the major powers in the Divine Continent changed their tune and were completely defeated by Jiang Ping.
Such a person can be compared to the Child of Destiny.
Some High-Rank Dao Armament even bluntly stated that this boy had the potential to become Mid-Rank Dao Monarch, which caused a huge stir.
"Mid-Rank Dao Monarch..."
Many exceptional talents felt both envy and jealousy upon hearing this.
A mid-level Chaos Dao Monarch possesses strength far exceeding their cultivation level, and is absolutely comparable to High-Rank Monarch.
Of course, some people praised it, some envied it, and some were angry.
Dao Monarch Xu Haoran almost lost control of his Qi Mechanism upon hearing this. He was both shocked and filled with hatred. Could he still avenge his sworn brother and friend?
Xie Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Perhaps we should have refused to reconcile in the first place and just killed each other instead."
Ren Ran glanced at him and said, "You've already consumed the Great Dao Rare Treasure, there's no point in saying these things now."
"Hmph, injuring a newly advanced Mid-Rank Dao Monarch is nothing special. If he's so capable, let him come and try his luck in the Initial Land. There are plenty of people who can injure him."
Some have spoken out to vindicate the Child of Destiny.
It was revealed that Zhou Huang had just broken through his cultivation barrier, his realm was not yet stable, his Nirvana Divine Flame was not yet perfected, and his strength was at the bottom among Mid-Rank Dao Monarch.
Rumors suggest that Xu Yuan, Fifth Layer of Dao Monarch, originally intended to teach Jiang Ping a lesson, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he did not intervene.
"In fact, some subtle things at the scene are enough to illustrate the situation. For example, Ling Qinghe, who should naturally be on Jiang Ping's side, ignored him afterwards, which shows that she didn't take Jiang Ping seriously. Mid-to -High-Rank Dao Monarch are not the deciding factor in the battle; for them, the Dao-Carrying Myth is the proof of realizing their talent."
"Does he have the ability to catch up with my brother?"
Yu Xi was so angry after hearing some of the comments that she couldn't eat.
Jiang Ping is strong, but her brother is so amazing, how can they be compared?
That person will not be able to attain Dao Monarch for another seventy or eighty years, but her brother has already attained Dao. By then, they will have already reached the middle stage and be approaching the High Rank.
"It seems we really need to curb this person's arrogance!"
Yu Xi's fighting spirit was off the charts. Injuring a weakest mid-level opponent was not something she couldn't do; she could even turn the tables on opponents much stronger than herself.
"Hmph, this matter won't end here. Once he enters the Initial Land, a powerful figure will teach him a lesson. Let's see how long he can be arrogant. Otherwise, he'll end up begging for help everywhere just like he did with the Ziwei Sacred Land."
"Hmm, I heard he chose the Combat strength group. We'll see if he can get past the Years Monarch. The Origin Source Sword Scripture versus the orthodox lineage, we'll know who's stronger then."
Late at night, Yu Xi received multiple telepathic messages urging her to go all out.
Some people were willing to offer lavish gifts so that she could severely injure Jiang Ping.
Yu Xi took the initiative without hesitation; this was exactly what she wanted to do.
For her, only by defeating all heroes in battle can she truly demonstrate her brilliance.
Time flew by, and the day of the selection arrived in the blink of an eye.
The Giant City was in a frenzy, with a celestial gate stretching across the sky, its interior filled with a vast, boundless energy, offering a glimpse into the magnificent Mountains and Rivers.
"That was a battlefield, created by the Kaiyang Patriarch. It was opened up to resolve the grudges between Dao Monarch, and it's very famous."
"This is the selection venue for the Combat strength group; the qualification group will be selected in a different location."
"The selections for the two groups are being conducted simultaneously. Which group should we go to?"
"Needless to say, it's the Combat strength group. There are even numbers of Dao Monarch participating in the selection. Such a battle between figures is a rare sight, perhaps only seen once every thousand years."
"I've heard that the selection process for the aptitude group is quite unique, using a supreme method to assess comprehension."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. It seems to be a clan's secret technique, related to the soul. Legend has it that once mastered, one might be able to uncover the secret of eternity."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping immediately gave his eldest daughter a flick on the forehead.
He preferred the aptitude group to the Combat strength group.
Jiang Yirou rubbed her forehead, enduring the pain, and pouted, "Father, when you're invincible throughout the Xuanhuang, what inheritance can't you obtain? Now it's time for you to show your true colors and dampen that Yu Family girl's arrogance."
She has also been gathering information and intelligence for her Old Father these past two days.
It is said that Yu Xi is full of fighting spirit and seems to really want to fight her father.
Moreover, rumors are circulating that someone in Initial Land has adjusted the Combat strength group duel list, seemingly targeting Jiang Ping.
"With Father's strength, we have nothing to fear from any targeting," Jiang Yao said.
Let's go.
Xiao Ran and several other prodigies from the Combat strength group appeared.
Lei Fang also came over and said solemnly, "Brother Jiang, I heard from Junior Sister Ling that someone deliberately arranged the match list to suppress your arrogance. You might be facing Yu Xi ahead of schedule."
Jiang Ping can defeat Mid-Rank Dao Monarch, and so can that Years Female Monarch. There is no such thing as suppressing realm on the battlefield; it all depends on individual strength. It's really hard to say who is stronger or weaker.
"It doesn't matter, my dad will take care of it."
Jiang Yirou said seriously.
As Jiang Ping's daughter, her understanding of this Unrivaled man was second only to her mother. Outsiders believed that her Old Father's progress in the Chaos Body was only halfway complete, but she felt that her father never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning.
However, before Jiang Ping even set foot on the battlefield, someone blocked his way.
They were two Dao Monarch, unfamiliar to me, but their auras were exceptionally powerful, at least at the second level of Dao Monarch.
Lei Fang an eyebrow and transmitted his voice, "This is the Monarch has been in seclusion in the Initial Land."
Jiang Ping could tell that the two of them were about the same level of talent as his daughter, but their cultivation levels were higher than those of Gu Cang, the Five Elements Monarch.
This shows that fierce competition for Initial Land is one thing, but the resources are also undeniable.
He froze for a moment.
Therefore, the other party informed him that he was directly invited to the Initial Land and that no further selection was needed.
"My dad hasn't even had Divine Might yet," Jiang Yirou, somewhat disgruntled. Such a grand event, and her father, the main character, was being sidelined!
Within the battlefield, Yu Xi's Dharma Image burst forth from the sky, its power overwhelming all directions.
Her expression was cold, and her face was full of displeasure.
Hadn't it been agreed that she and Jiang Ping would begin their opening battle, and both had already entered the arena? However, things changed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Ping was directly invited to withdraw from the battle, meaning she couldn't fight.
"Who arranged this? Tell me!"
Xu Yuan's expression darkened slightly. He was in charge of this selection process, yet he was unaware of this matter.
"It's your older brother."
Black Sword appeared beside Yu Xi, revealing the truth.
As I was writing this selection process, I realized it resembled the scene when the protagonist first arrived in Qingling, so I decided to skip it and move on quickly. The best part is yet to come.
