The Great Void Teleportation Array.
After the surging crowd following Zhou Chenlong had passed, another pillar of light shot skyward from the teleportation array.
After the white light faded:
Ten young figures with formidable presences appeared in the center of the teleportation array, men and women alike, each with an exceptional bearing.
"Hm?"
The girl in a purple dress leading them swept her gaze over the deserted surroundings of the teleportation array, and her expression shifted slightly.
"Big Brother couldn't wait any longer and went to fight Chen Shaojun?"
Hearing this, a young man immediately called out:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!"
The group nodded, clearly afraid of missing their chance to watch the battle.
All of them had traveled countless millions of miles, paying hefty teleportation fees to come from Cinnabar Yang Divine Island specifically to support Zhou Chenlong and watch the battle.
"Then let's go!"
The girl in purple at their head gave the order.
At once, the ten gathered together and linked their True Qi, rising from the ground in unison to hover twenty feet in the air.
Then, propelled by their True Qi, the ten hurried toward the Combat Victory Platform.
This was clearly a secret art performed jointly. Although far inferior to truly flying through the skies, it was still faster than traveling on the ground.
"Chen Shaojun..."
A faint glint flashed through the eyes of the girl in purple leading them.
"A previously unknown fellow suddenly burst onto the scene, rose rapidly, and actually cleared the eighth floor of the War God Tower."
"Big Brother hasn't met a true opponent in years. Hopefully, this fellow won't disappoint him."
Outside the Combat Victory Platform.
A white auspicious cloud came racing from afar and stopped in the air above the entrance.
Everywhere the auspicious cloud passed, a tremendous stir erupted. Countless people recognized that distinctive white cloud.
"It's Chen Shaojun!"
"Look! That's our Chen Clan's young lord!"
"Chen Shaojun is here! Has Zhou Chenlong challenged him already?"
"He must have! The great battle is finally about to begin!"
Amid the clamor, Chen Qingyu guided his auspicious cloud slowly toward the ground.
"Quick, get out of the way!"
The crowd at the entrance immediately retreated, squeezing out an empty space by sheer force.
"Thank you, everyone."
Chen Qingyu landed and nodded to the crowd.
Seeing that he did not seem about to move, someone in the surrounding crowd could not help calling out:
"Why aren't you entering the War God Tower, Young Lord?"
Chen Qingyu smiled faintly and said:
"Zhou Chenlong hasn't challenged me yet. I've decided to wait half an hour for him."
Hearing this, the many martial artists exchanged bewildered looks.
Zhou Chenlong had not taken the initiative to challenge him?
This truly defied their expectations, and quite a few people began discussing it.
"Could Zhou Chenlong be scared?"
"Do you think that's possible? How could an invincible prodigy like him fear a challenge?"
"Exactly. He's been invincible for years, unable to find an opponent. He should be wild with joy at the news."
"That's strange, then. Why hasn't Zhou Chenlong made any move?"
"Well, looking on the bright side, he certainly wouldn't avoid a fight. Perhaps something unexpected happened at home?"
Just as everyone was discussing it:
Chen Qingyu seemed to sense something and abruptly turned toward the sky to one side.
Boom!
A streak of crimson flight light shot toward them like a meteor, astonishingly fast-at least twice as fast as his auspicious cloud.
What immense True Qi!
Chen Qingyu could not help being moved.
Forcing his way through the skies through sheer, boundless True Qi alone-this was simply an astounding feat.
Even with the supreme foundation he had forged, he was still far from capable of it at present, unless he reached the Ninth Heaven of the Blood Sea Realm.
Zhou Chenlong! It must be him!
Chen Qingyu instantly identified the newcomer.
Among the current generation of Blood Sea Realm cultivators, only he and Zhou Chenlong had cultivated supreme heavenly arts and forged supreme foundations.
For True Qi this immense and terrifying, there was no second person to be found anywhere in the world.
So it wasn't that he hadn't responded. He couldn't wait and came straight to Divine Capital Changluo to find me and fight.
A glimmer of understanding flashed through Chen Qingyu's mind.
"This is..."
Such a tremendous spectacle naturally alarmed countless Blood Sea Realm martial artists as well.
They raised their heads, staring at the crimson meteor with its astonishing, overwhelming momentum. Feeling that terrifying True Qi, vast as an ocean, they stiffened, dumbstruck.
At that moment, all the martial knowledge they had learned throughout their lives was overturned.
Boom!
A dozen or so breaths later, the crimson meteor reached the entrance to the Combat Victory Platform and landed beside Chen Qingyu.
The light dissipated, revealing a young man wearing crimson martial robes adorned with a qilin.
"Zhou Chenlong!"
Chen Qingyu immediately looked toward the young man, a trace of fighting spirit appearing in his eyes.
"Chen Shaojun!"
Zhou Chenlong likewise fixed his gaze upon him, a sincere smile appearing on his face.
"You're very good. You haven't made my personal trip to find you a waste."
"Across the world, prodigies and outstanding talents abound, but only you are worthy of fighting me."
Chen Qingyu drew a deep breath, feeling the hot blood throughout his body gradually begin to boil.
"Hahaha!"
He laughed heartily and pointed toward the entrance to the Combat Victory Platform beside them.
"Brother Zhou, please!"
Zhou Chenlong smiled and nodded.
"Brother Chen, please."
Without another word of idle chatter, the two stepped forward shoulder to shoulder and entered the Combat Victory Platform together.
The crowd immediately erupted!
"Zhou Chenlong! It's actually Zhou Chenlong!"
"Zhou Chenlong actually came to Divine Capital Changluo himself! My heavens..."
"To hell with talking! Get into the Combat Victory Platform!"
"Stop pushing! What the hell are you pushing for?"
The crowd surged in an instant, everyone scrambling desperately toward the entrance to the Combat Victory Platform, directly selecting the space where Chen Shaojun and Zhou Chenlong were about to fight.
In a single instant, tens of thousands of people were transported into the spectator space.
And it was not just Divine Capital Changluo.
Since late last night, throughout every Great Void city in Blood Sea Heaven, untold numbers had been waiting at the Combat Victory Platform, entering and exiting repeatedly, all to await the battle between Zhou Chenlong and Chen Shaojun.
A few breaths after Chen Qingyu and Zhou Chenlong entered the Combat Victory Platform:
Almost every Great Void city learned the earth-shaking news, and streams of people surged in like a raging tide.
In a mere instant, over a hundred million Blood Sea Realm martial artists were transported into the spectator space.
This was truly a battle watched by the entire world!
Truly terrifying...
Inside the combat space, Chen Qingyu watched the number in the lower-right corner of his vision skyrocket and could not help inwardly clicking his tongue.
There were tens of trillions of young Blood Sea Realm martial artists in Blood Sea Heaven.
Today's battle would likely draw over eighty percent of those Blood Sea Realm martial artists to watch. Its influence was unimaginably vast!
"Brother Chen!"
At that moment, Zhou Chenlong, standing opposite him, slowly spoke.
"You choose the battle setting."
