"At the Body Realm, being able to fight and kill a Primordial Fierce Beast Cub was already the limit of humanity, wasn't it?"
"And now you're telling me that Little Holy Son Chu Tian crossed realms to kill a Spirit Refining Realm True Dragon?"
"Isn't this joke a little too big?"
"Blatant cheating?"
The entire venue erupted. Countless disciples flushed red as a group, utterly stunned.
The disciples of Hengtian Hall began discussing it fervently. Even powerful experts from the higher levels of Hengtian Hall, those who had already ignited Divine Fire, were drawn over.
Looking at the line of words displayed on the Bone Forging Ranking, they too shook their heads, utterly unable to comprehend it.
First on the Bone Forging Ranking: Chu Tian, eight years old, strength of two million jin, killed one Spirit Refining Realm True Dragon Cub...
They could still accept the rest, but this one line had already surpassed the boundaries of their understanding.
Ye Qiang's entire body began trembling, his face deathly pale. Those dazzling golden words even made his lower abdomen throb faintly with pain.
Last time, Chu Tian's punch had nearly taken more than half his life.
Now, his strength had surged from 1.5 million jin to two million jin.
Now, a single punch from Chu Tian could absolutely blast him apart on the spot. There would be no possibility of survival.
At that moment, Chu Tian stepped out of the Golden Vortex. He first glanced at the Hengtian Ranking, where his name stood first on the Earth Ranking and first on the Bone Forging Ranking.
Then Chu Tian's calm, indifferent voice rang through Hengtian Hall. "Some people wave the banner of sect interests, intending to plot against this Holy Son in secret, yet they do not understand.
"I, Chu Tian, am this sect's greatest interest."
These words were a response to Ye Tianxiong, and also the purpose of his visit to Hengtian Hall.
In this world, the strong were revered. Geniuses commanded the winds and clouds, their brilliance stretching ten thousand zhang.
He wanted to use his actions to answer Ye Tianxiong's claim that sacrifices had to be made for the sect's interests.
He was Sacred Heaven Sect's greatest interest.
Chu Tian's voice was calm and still carried a trace of childishness. After all, he was young, and his vocal cords had yet to fully develop. Yet the peerless dominance in his words was like a meteorite crashing into a placid lake, stirring up towering waves.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone present sank into utter silence.
His words were boundlessly arrogant, yet there was no way to refute them.
First on the Earth Ranking was the best proof. No further words were needed.
"Big Brother, from now on, you're not just my big brother—you're also my idol to learn from." Hui Mei walked over, his eyes shining. He suddenly realized that when it came to showing off and drawing attention, Chu Tian could practically be his ancestor.
"Who hurt you?" Chu Tian asked calmly when he saw the blood at the little bald head's mouth.
"It's nothing. I'm fine!" Hui Mei casually wiped away the blood. As a prodigy of the Cihang Sacred Sect, he had his own pride and was not in the habit of complaining.
"Little Tian, come here. Brother-in-law has a gift for you."
At that moment, Ye Feng smiled kindly and crouched halfway down, beckoning to Chu Tian. A strange-looking little blue sword appeared in his hand. "It's only been two months, yet Little Tian has already become so outstanding. You've even risen above brother-in-law on the Earth Ranking. Brother-in-law must reward you properly."
Ye Feng possessed a heroic and imposing appearance, standing over 1.9 meters tall. Even half-crouching, he was still about as tall as Chu Tian.
Brother-in-law?
Chu Tian did not leave immediately. Instead, his expression calm, he walked before Ye Feng. Without sparing the blue little sword another glance, he stared into Ye Feng's eyes and said indifferently, "You are not worthy of marrying my sister. In a few days, I will have the elders of my family come to cancel the engagement."
He had already learned that after Ye Feng and Eldest Sister Chu Yunshang returned to the sect, they would hold their wedding before long.
He would never allow the tragedy from the original plot to repeat itself.
Since the wedding was imminent, he no longer wanted to engage in any flashy tricks. He chose to drive straight in with a single blade.
As soon as those words fell, everyone had only just recovered from their shock when a buzzing filled their minds!
What had they just heard?
Little Holy Son Chu Tian did not approve of the marriage between Chu Yunshang and Ye Feng?
Ye Feng was unworthy?
What the hell?
Ye Feng was heaven-blessed and mighty, while Chu Yunshang possessed an Innate Sacred Bone. Betrothed since childhood, they were praised as a golden boy and jade girl, pearls joined with jade. Like Chu Tian's engagement to Liu Yun, their marriage was envied by countless people within the sect.
It was said that the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master had already discussed it and planned to hold a wedding for the two before long, displaying the friendship between their families that had endured for millions of years.
Yet Little Holy Son Chu Tian had suddenly said that in a few days, he would come to cancel the engagement?
If it were true, it would be like slapping the Ye Family across the face. The entire sect would be shaken?
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"What did you just say? Say it again."
No matter how deep Ye Feng's scheming was, the smile on his face vanished abruptly. His expression darkened, and his hand clenched around the little blue sword.
What was Chu Tian's status?
The eldest legitimate son of the Chu Family, the sect's Little Holy Son, the next generation's Sect Master.
Though he was young, every word he spoke was watched by countless people beneath the spotlight, carrying immense influence.
Even childish words without restraint depended on the occasion and the target.
Those words were no different from publicly slapping the Ye Family in the face and trampling upon the Ye Family's dignity.
"Chu Tian, you are so unrestrained, so outrageously bold..." Ye Wu had long been displeased with Chu Tian. He immediately flew into a rage and bellowed.
Chu Tian did not respond to Ye Feng. He disliked wasting words; one sentence was enough. Instead, he turned and walked toward Ye Wu, a chill flashing through his eyes.
"No one has ever dared lay a hand on my little brother."
"Who gave you the nerve?"
Chu Tian's voice was mild, yet it brimmed with ruthlessness and dominance.
Though Hui Mei had said nothing, Chu Tian's spiritual power had now reached the realm of meticulous detail. Beneath the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, nothing within a hundred meters could escape his notice.
When he noticed Ye Wu's arm was still trembling slightly, clearly having just endured an intense clash of flesh and blood, he was already able to roughly deduce what had happened.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the vertical eye between Chu Tian's brows opened. The Eye of the Heavenly Dao erupted with violet light, and his river-like spiritual power was instantly amplified tenfold.
"Chu Tian, just try moving." Ye Wu was practically seeing red, his hair standing on end in fury. In a single day, he had been looked down upon and publicly threatened by two little brats at the Bone Forging Realm.
Boom!
His vast spiritual power churned like an ocean. Chu Tian threw a killing punch, and in a daze, it seemed as though a Dragon's Roar resounded while the sound of mountains collapsing and seas roaring swept forth.
The moment the punch flew out, the vortex currents exploded directly and shot toward Ye Wu's chest.
"You're courting death!"
Consumed by rage, Ye Wu's spiritual power boiled as his fist collided with Chu Tian's. Ruthlessness filled his eyes. Chu Tian had taken the initiative to attack, so he could not blame Ye Wu for showing no mercy.
"Ye Wu, don't—" Ye Feng suddenly shouted in fury, but it was already too late. He had not expected Chu Tian to attack the moment he said he would.
Crack!
Suddenly, the bones in Ye Wu's arm shattered instantly, flesh and blood spraying everywhere. The spiritual power covering it was smashed apart in an instant.
Chu Tian's punch now carried six million jin of force. Even a mountain peak would be directly blasted apart.
Boom, boom, boom...
Chu Tian's fist was fierce and overbearing, charging forward without pause. Riding the momentum, it smashed directly into Ye Wu's chest.
Pfft!
Ye Wu's chest caved in. His eyes bulged wide as he vomited blood wildly, his body shooting into the Spirit Refining Hall like a sharp arrow and crashing into a massive golden boulder. Even the earth seemed to shudder violently.
In the blink of an eye, blood flowed in torrents. Ye Wu had already slid into a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.
The entire venue fell silent.
Countless disciples stared with their eyes wide open.
He had been killed in a second?
Ye Wu, ranked eightieth on the Spirit Refining Ranking, might not have been much weaker than a True Dragon Cub, yet he had been killed in a second.
Ye Wu had proven with his own fate that Chu Tian's killing of a Spirit Refining Realm True Dragon Cub had not been cheating. It was real.
