The entire arena instantly fell deathly silent.
Billions of cultivators widened their eyes, scarcely daring to believe their ears.
He... he refused?
Not only had he refused, he had done so so bluntly, in a manner that was practically humiliating?!
A mere True Immortal dared look down on a Half-Step King?
And a Half-Step King from Primordial Hall at that?
Even if you were a peerless prodigy among True Immortals, you were still only a True Immortal!
If a Half-Step King so much as blew a breath, no one knew how many times a True Immortal would have to die!
A genius who had yet to grow was, in the end, only a genius!
Even if he wished to refuse, he should have said a few nice words. He should not have offended a supreme powerhouse!
This was far too arrogant!
Did he not know that arrogant geniuses were the most likely to die young?
"No qualifications... to be mentioned in the same breath?"
"H-he said Deputy Hall Master Li Chen... was not qualified to be compared with his master?"
"There are only so many Half-Step Kings in All Under Heaven. Which one of them is not renowned throughout the world? Why has no one ever heard of this Heavenly Dao Immortal Sect?"
"This old man has lived for tens of millions of years, yet I have never heard of such a sect. Naming itself after the Heavenly Dao? What audacity!"
"Mad... Has Qin Buhui truly gone mad?!"
"That is the Deputy Hall Master of Primordial Hall! One of the foremost among Half-Step Kings! With His Majesty the First Immortal King behind him, he need not kneel even when facing other Kings!"
"No matter how strong his master is, could he possibly be an Immortal King?!"
"Arrogant! Ignorant! Courting death!"
