"Greetings, Senior Lin Huang."
One prodigy spoke, and the Lin Family disciples snapped to their senses with cries of surprise. Just as they had suspected, supreme figures had been protecting them from the shadows.
"Hmph, getting anxious, are you? You struck just as shamelessly when the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Horned Ant Lords first rose to prominence. After all these ages, I thought you might have improved a little."
A battle flag swept through the wind. Chaos energy filled the void, lightning crisscrossed, and a white-haired old man emerged in robes from the Immortal Ancient Era. His aura faintly distorted the void. The Profound Origin Heavenly Thunder Flag in his hand had been renowned throughout that era, having buried countless Supremes and Immortals.
"Senior Yu Jin!"
Lin Huang of the Lin Family spoke with deep respect. This was a veteran who had survived the Immortal Ancient Era, and his strength was likewise staggering.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
The old man spoke, showing the Heavenly Emperor's lineage every respect.
"I dare not accept such courtesy from you, Senior!"
Being so close to a living being from the previous era left the prodigies more than a little shaken.
"Does the sight of our realm's prodigies frighten you? Hahaha... the future belongs to the Nine Heavens."
The old man was thoroughly pleased as he surveyed the prodigies before him. These young people would uphold the Nine Heavens' future, and they could not be underestimated.
"Frightened? Heh, do you think our realm has no one?"
The woman from the Foreign Realm spoke.
"This may be war, but you truly have no shame. Want to kill our realm's prodigies? Fine, bring all your young people here. We won't interfere. Let us stake the futures of our two realms on a Battle of Realm Fortune.
