The Eastern Region's Strongest Void Return Realm Expert Came to Issue a Challenge
Central Region, outside the Stars Sect.
After making up his mind to challenge the prodigies of the Central Region via live stream, Chen Jie pondered for a long time before deciding to challenge them in person as the strongest expert in the Void Return Realm of the Eastern Region.
Only with this identity can the prodigies of the Central Region more easily accept challenges.
He also specially prepared a large banner with the eye-catching words: The strongest expert in the Void Return Realm of the Eastern Region challenges the genius of the Central Region.
Calling him the number one genius of the Eastern Region would be more sensational, but the true number one genius of the Eastern Region is Liu Yi.
If he dared to call himself that, the system host would surely laugh at him for overestimating his abilities. Even someone as arrogant as him would never dare to overstep his bounds.
He started a live stream outside the Stars Sect's mountain gate, with the title reading:
"I, Chen Jie, will sweep away all the geniuses of the Central Region! Today, I challenge Zhao Chen, the Holy Son of the Stars Sect!"
As soon as the live stream started, more than five million people flooded in instantly, and the number is still soaring rapidly.
Once the number of viewers exceeded 100 million, he spoke in the live stream with his Divine Sense:
"Fellow Daoists, today I, Chen Jie, will officially begin my journey of challenging the prodigies of the Central Region."
His first challenge is against Zhao Chen, the Holy Son of the Stars Sect. Now it remains to be seen whether he dares to accept the challenge!
Now I'll come and challenge you! If you enjoy the show, please feel Duoduo to tip me!
Upon hearing this and seeing the large flag in his hand, the audience in the live stream erupted in excitement, with the chat instantly flooded with comments.
"Holy crap! Chen Jie has really gone mad? He actually went and challenged the prodigy of the Central Region! Isn't he afraid of offending people? At first, I thought the livestream title was just a gimmick!"
"This is outrageous! These geniuses are all crazy, I really don't understand what Chen Jie is after!"
"What's the point? To earn Energy Points, of course!"
Otherwise, why would he be so bored?
Chen Jie has no other skills, so he can only earn Energy Points through the Dissemination System, but this industry is incredibly competitive these days!
"That's right, it's all just a ploy for money! Although Chen Jie is arrogant, he's never done anything like this before, going door-to-door to challenge people live. He's definitely doing this for Energy Points."
"Having just regained the top spot on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking, Chen Jie is already livestreaming a challenge against the Central Region's prodigies. It seems Chen Jie is under a lot of pressure!"
"That's for sure. Ye Qingxue and Bai Qianqian have both surpassed Chen Jie, so he's definitely under immense pressure."
"Hahaha! The strongest expert in the Void Return Realm in the Eastern Region? Why not just call him the number one genius of the Eastern Region? That would be much more sensational!"
"Chen Jie is arrogant but not stupid. He wouldn't dare to use that title lightly; that would be asking for trouble!"
"That's right! Liu Yi is the number one Eastern Region. Who else dares to claim that title?"
Chen Jie ignored the noisy viewers in the live stream, and landed the flag at the entrance of the Stars Sect, arrogantly addressing the gatekeeper disciples:
"I am Chen Jie, the strongest cultivator in the Void Return Realm the Eastern Region. I have heard that your sect's Holy Son, Zhao Chen, is a top genius of the Central Region, so I have come to challenge you. I wonder if your Holy Son dares to accept the challenge?"
The gatekeepers had already spotted him; with such a large banner proclaiming "The strongest cultivator in the Eastern Region at the Void Return Realm challenges the genius of the Central Region," it was impossible not to see him.
At first glance, this person seemed arrogant and overbearing, daring to claim himself as the number one Void Return Realm expert in the Eastern Region and even challenging the geniuses of the Central Region.
Upon hearing Chen Jie's self-identification, their expressions instantly changed.
How could they not know the name Chen Jie? He was the ruthless man who defeated Jian Lingxu years ago!
No one dared to be negligent. The leading disciple quickly cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Senior Chen. This junior will go and inform His Highness the Holy Son immediately. Please wait a moment, Senior."
Having said that, he immediately took to the air and flew swiftly towards Holy Son Peak.
The commotion at the mountain gate quickly spread throughout the Stars Sect. Everyone heard that Chen Jie, the strongest expert in the Void Return Realm in the Eastern Region, had come to challenge the Holy Son.
Everyone was shocked and, filled with curiosity, rushed to the mountain gate to see what was happening.
The sect's higher-ups also sensed Chen Jie's arrival.
The crowd's expressions turned somber, their hearts filled with anger, but since Chen Jie had come to challenge them so openly, it was inconvenient to drive him away.
Moreover, Chen Jie is already at the Peak of the Void Return Realm. Apart from the Dao Integration Realm and Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts, no one in the sect is absolutely confident that they can suppress him.
At this moment, everyone is pinning their hopes on the Holy Son Zhao Chen to defeat Chen Jie.
The disciples of the Stars Sect looked at Chen Jie, who stood holding the flag, with curiosity in their eyes, and huddled together to whisper among themselves:
"What an arrogant person! How dare he claim to be the strongest Void Return Realm expert in the Eastern Region? He simply doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"You've come to challenge the Holy Son today, surely you still want to steal the title of the number one Void Return Realm in the Central Region?"
"This is Chen Jie! The ruthless man who defeated Jian Lingxu back then, he's extremely strong, a true top genius, and absolutely not to be underestimated!"
"Jian Lingxu dares to compare himself to the Holy Son? Our Holy Son is the strongest and will easily defeat him!"
"Is he really the strongest expert in the Void Return Realm in the Eastern Region? Otherwise, isn't he afraid of incurring public wrath by making such a grand claim?"
"There's no mistake! Chen Jie is indeed the strongest Void Return Realm expert in the Eastern Region, and he's probably the strongest in the entire Central Region as well!"
How do you know? I've never heard of that before.
"Ahem, I've always loved to gather information from all sides, it can't be wrong, you'll find out in time!"
When Zhao Chen heard that Chen Jie had come to challenge him, he was furious. This was clearly a blatant provocation, and Chen Jie didn't take him seriously at all.
He immediately took to the air and flew straight to the mountain gate, wanting to teach this madman a lesson and let him know his place.
A moment later, Zhao Chen appeared at the mountain gate, his gaze falling on Chen Jie, who was holding the flag. His face was icy cold, and he let out a cold snort:
"You are Chen Jie?"
Don't think that just because you defeated Jian Lingxu, you're qualified to challenge me. My strength is far beyond his reach!
Chen Jie looked up and sized up Zhao Chen, seeing that he was in the Middle Stage of the Void Return Realm. Although his cultivation level was higher than Jian Lingxu's back then, the pressure he felt from Zhao Chen was far less than that from Jian Lingxu.
He immediately made up his mind, smiled proudly, and spoke with a tone full of confidence:
"I don't care who's stronger between you and him, I'm the strongest, and you'll eventually be my defeated opponent!"
"Arrogant!"
Zhao Chen's expression grew even colder, and he sneered, "I never expected that the Eastern Region would produce such a madman as you."
You dare to call yourself the strongest cultivator in the Void Return Realm of the Eastern Region? Why don't you just call yourself the number one prodigy of the Eastern Region?
Chen Jie curled his lip. "It's a fact that I claim to be the strongest person in the Void Return Realm in the Eastern Region. I earned it through my own hard work and skill."
But I'm not the number one prodigy in the Eastern Region.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen frowned and stared intently at the other party, only to be surprised to find that the other party was already at the peak of the Void Return Realm (Dharma Body Realm), which was even higher than his own cultivation.
Could the opponent truly be the strongest expert in the Void Return Realm in the Eastern Region?
He felt a slight tremor in his heart, but quickly regained his confidence.
Even if Chen Jie's cultivation level is high, he might not be able to defeat him. His opponent's victory over Jian Lingxu might be due to a suppression of his cultivation level.
How could his own combat strength compare to that arrogant madman Jian Lingxu, who claimed to be invincible among those in the same realm?
He composed himself and asked doubtfully, "Are you really not the number one genius of the Eastern Region?"
Could it be that one of the geniuses in the Eastern Region has already broken through to the Dao Integration Realm?
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie replied calmly, "I am indeed not the number one Eastern Region; I can only be considered the number two genius at the moment."
The person stronger than me Liu Yi. I don't know if he's still in the Dao Integration Realm (Dao Body Realm).
Alright, enough chit-chat, do you dare accept my challenge?
