"How is this possible? Your strength!"
Ye Xingyun let out a roar.
Feeling Jun Xiaoyao's overwhelming might, he felt as though his scalp were about to explode!
Terror!
Shock!
Disbelief!
And this was supposed to be ordinary and unremarkable?
Ye Xingyun almost felt like cursing his mother inside.
It was not only him. The surrounding guests were all petrified as well.
The Jun Family Divine Son's use of "ordinary and unremarkable" was truly inspired.
Ye Xingyun's heart trembled violently, but no matter what, he was still the proud son of the Desolate Ancient Ye Family. His mental fortitude was not poor, and he reacted at once.
"Star-Plucking Hand!"
Without holding anything back, Ye Xingyun immediately unleashed his most formidable technique.
He had initially intended to test the waters, but now there was no need whatsoever.
Ye Xingyun reached out, and surging stellar mana condensed into a gigantic hand shimmering with flowing light. Starlight blazed brilliantly, as though it bore the imprints of countless stars' paths of revolution.
This was a martial divine ability that only the Stellar King Physique could wield, and its power was immense.
The gigantic stellar hand collided with Jun Xiaoyao's palm.
Golden mana surged like a vast tide, directly shattering the stellar hand before sweeping toward Ye Xingyun.
Crack!
Amid a string of bones cracking, Ye Xingyun was sent flying straight out of the main hall, carving a trail across the ground.
The entire venue fell deathly silent.
Looking at Ye Xingyun lying outside the hall, continuously coughing up blood, many young prodigies felt every hair on their bodies stand on end.
When they looked at Jun Xiaoyao again, their eyes even carried a trace of terror.
A monster!
A true little monster!
Ye Xingyun was no stray cat or dog. He was the proud son of the ancient aristocratic Ye Family, not to mention that he possessed the Stellar King Physique.
For such a young prodigy to be sent flying by a single palm strike from the ten-year-old Jun Xiaoyao—if that was not a monster, what was?
Not to mention them, even Jiang Luoli, Jiang Shengyi, and the others stood there with their rosy lips slightly parted, unable to believe it.
But soon after, repeated flashes of brilliance flickered through Jiang Luoli's crystalline, beautiful eyes.
Her first criterion for choosing a husband was naturally that he had to be handsome. That was the most important thing.
If he was also extremely strong on top of being handsome, then that would be even more perfect.
Jun Xiaoyao perfectly matched the image of Prince Charming in Jiang Luoli's heart.
As for Jiang Shengyi, a strange glimmer also flashed through her clear eyes.
"That golden blood energy really is the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body," Jiang Shengyi thought to herself.
It was not only her. Many great figures present also had their eyes flash as they recognized it.
"So it really is the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. No wonder he was able to trigger the Vision of Myriad Saints Paying Homage ten years ago."
"After all, it is a Human Sacred Body. But wasn't the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body rumored to have become a useless physique, as worthless as chicken ribs? Why is the Jun Family Divine Son still so powerful?"
"Could it be that the Jun Family spent an ocean of resources to help the Jun Family Divine Son break several shackles?"
"That is very likely. But even so, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body's path cannot go very far."
With this move from Jun Xiaoyao, nearly everyone in the venue confirmed that his physique was the one-in-all-ages Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
During the Desolate Ancient era, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could reign as king, stand shoulder to shoulder with Great Emperors, and battle ancient sovereigns.
But in the modern ancient era, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body's position had become rather awkward.
Although the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body still ranked among the top ten of the three thousand physiques.
Its deterrent power was now far from what it had been in the Desolate Ancient era.
"So you really are the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!"
Outside the main hall, Ye Xingyun struggled to his feet, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
But after all, he possessed the Stellar King Physique, which was far stronger than the physiques of ordinary prodigies.
"I told you there was no need to spar, because the outcome had no suspense whatsoever," Jun Xiaoyao said with a slight shake of his head.
"It isn't over yet. I simply wasn't prepared earlier." Ye Xingyun gritted his teeth. Naturally, he was unwilling to stop so miserably.
"Young Master, you..." Uncle Fu hesitated, as though he wanted to speak but held back.
"Chaotic Star Finger!"
Ye Xingyun suddenly erupted into action, thrusting out a finger.
In an instant, stellar power gathered and transformed into an ancient finger, as though it could crush stars beyond the heavens.
"Boring." Jun Xiaoyao reached out and struck again.
Golden blood energy surged forth, transforming into a gigantic palm of golden mana that directly smashed that finger apart.
Then Jun Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed. Mana billowed as it condensed into a purple-black spear, burning with hellish nether flames.
It was precisely the ultimate art within the Divine Elephant Suppresses Prison Force, the Underworld God's Spear.
Jun Xiaoyao hurled the Underworld God's Spear.
The void let out a piercing shriek, rippling with shockwaves!
Nether flames roared, and the sharp Underworld God's Spear pierced straight toward Ye Xingyun!
Feeling the power of the Underworld God's Spear, Ye Xingyun's expression changed drastically once more.
"Heavenly Star Shield!"
Ye Xingyun brought forth a Marquis-grade weapon, a shield glittering with brilliant starlight.
Yet what made everyone suck in a cold breath was this.
The Underworld God's Spear, empowered with four hundred million jin of tremendous force, struck the Heavenly Star Shield and directly pierced through it, shattering it into pieces.
Terror flooded Ye Xingyun's face.
Jun Xiaoyao's methods made even him feel his hair stand on end and a chill run down his spine.
"Star-Devouring Black Hole Palm!"
Ye Xingyun revealed his ultimate trump card. The special stellar spirit sea within his dantian was driven to its utmost limit.
He blasted out with a palm, as though manifesting a black hole.
The Underworld God's Spear was directly swallowed into the black hole.
However, Ye Xingyun also suffered backlash. He staggered back dozens of steps, vomiting blood wildly, while the arm he had struck with trembled violently.
"It is over."
Jun Xiaoyao unleashed the Weapon-Slaying Art once more.
Endless golden light surged forth, transforming into ten thousand divine weapons—sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, and forks—densely packed as a roaring torrent that tore through the void.
This power made the young prodigies of many factions pale, their hearts filled with dread.
"Stellar True Body!"
Seeing this, Ye Xingyun threw back his head and roared, no longer suppressing his cultivation.
The cultivation of the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm erupted forth.
He knew that if he continued to suppress his realm, he truly might be suppressed by Jun Xiaoyao.
Yet Jun Xiaoyao's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
He likewise fully revealed his cultivation.
Boom!
The cultivation of the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm surged forth wildly, golden mana rising like blazing flames!
"Th-this is... the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm!"
"How is that possible? The Jun Family Divine Son is only ten years old!"
When Jun Xiaoyao's cultivation fully erupted, everyone in the entire main hall was utterly aghast, as though they had seen a ghost!
Ye Xingyun himself went rigid, his heart turning cold.
Jun Xiaoyao was younger than him, yet his realm was higher than his.
Most importantly, he was even more handsome than him!
Just tell him, was Ye Xingyun angry or not?
Boom!
As the two men's techniques collided, the result contained not the slightest surprise.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could steadily suppress Ye Xingyun's Stellar King Physique.
Jun Xiaoyao's realm was also higher than Ye Xingyun's.
In the end, Ye Xingyun spewed blood. His breastbone shattered, and bleeding wounds covered his body. Like a torn sack, he was sent flying and smashed out of the main hall once more.
"Young Master!" Uncle Fu's expression changed as he hurriedly checked Ye Xingyun's condition.
After examining him clearly, Uncle Fu let out a slight sigh of relief.
Although Ye Xingyun was severely injured, his foundation had not been harmed.
Ye Xingyun's face was deathly pale as he looked at Jun Xiaoyao with utter unwillingness.
"Brother Xiaoyao is so handsome!"
Stars sparkled in Jiang Luoli's beautiful eyes as she stared at Jun Xiaoyao with the look of a little fangirl, practically drooling.
She did not spare Ye Xingyun even a single extra glance.
Seeing this, a mouthful of heart's blood surged up Ye Xingyun's throat. His anger rushed to his head, and he fainted outright.
At the instant he lost consciousness, Ye Xingyun's awareness seemed to arrive in a strange place. Looking ahead, he saw a vast and majestic Star Palace standing amid the stars of the universe.
Before the Star Palace stood a figure cloaked in sun, moon, and stars, its back facing him, as though it stood above the myriad heavens!
However, before Ye Xingyun could investigate carefully, his consciousness completely sank into darkness...
