Jade Pool's Gathering of Heroes, the Divine Son Answers the Invitation to Azure Radiance

A True Phoenix radiating heaven-shaking divine might hovered above the plaza.

From within the divine palace,

a youth of fifteen or sixteen stepped out.

Several important figures whose presences shook heaven and earth accompanied him.

The youth was incomparably handsome.

His expression was stern, his bearing cold.

Arrogance filled his brows, and his sharp eyes bore down on others with immense pressure.

His magnificent purple robes lent him an air of exalted nobility.

He was Qin Mofeng, the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land.

Inside the hall,

Xu Lingxi sized up the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land.

The Primordial Holy Land held the same standing in the Divine Evolution Dao Domain as the Gu Clan did in the Northern Nether Dao Domain.

Both were uncrowned kings.

She remembered that the holy son possessed the Nether Prison Samsara Sacred Physique.

His mastery of the Law of Samsara had struck fear into countless hearts at the mere mention of it.

He was likewise among the top heavenly talents of this generation.

He was also a powerhouse with formidable combat strength.

In her previous life, he had slain nine Great Emperors from the forbidden zones in succession on the Immortal Ancient Battlefield.

That had left those forbidden zones unable to recover.

It had indirectly led to their destruction.

In the end, he had even fought his way into the Immortal Realm alongside Gu Xuanjin.

He had even attained the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm in the Immortal Realm.

Though everyone had only just emerged into the world,

and Baili Chang'an and Qin Mofeng were both peerless heavenly talents,

there were still differences between people. Qin Mofeng should be considerably stronger.

While the assembled talents and young heroes had their attention on the holy son,

a somewhat lazy figure appeared before Qin Mofeng and his companions.

"I'm Baili Chang'an, imperial son of the Baili Imperial Clan.

I'd like to exchange a few moves with the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land. I wonder if you're willing?

Of course,

if you're afraid of losing to me in front of so many people,

then just pretend I never said anything."

"What a crude attempt at provocation."

Qin Mofeng gave the rather frivolous-looking imperial son a few appraising glances.

He paid him no heed.

He and his companions were about to fly straight to the neighboring divine peak to visit the people of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

He had come for Gu Xuanjin.

Though this imperial son was no weakling, Qin Mofeng had no interest in him whatsoever.

Baili Chang'an's lazy, casual expression grew somewhat annoyed.

He was, after all, the imperial son of a majestic imperial clan that had endured through the ages.

Yet he was being ignored!

"I'd like to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"

With a cold bark,

Baili Chang'an instantly unleashed a punch.

Vast magical power surged and roared, with the Law of Chaos flowing within it.

The enormous fist imprint was domineering and forceful, pressing ever onward!

Its might shook the heavens, enough to blast mountains apart and shatter peaks!

Ordinary cultivators below the seventh level of the Divine Bridge Realm wouldn't even have a chance to resist this punch.

"Ridiculous."

Qin Mofeng gave a cold snort.

He too unleashed a punch, its might unmatched!

Heaven and earth instantly rumbled, the wind and clouds churned, and even a phantom image of the six paths of samsara appeared, shocking the mortal world.

Rumble-

Amid the deep, thunderous crash,

the astonishing aftershock rippled outward in every direction.

The hard paving stones shattered completely, and many nearby were forced to retreat again and again.

"Is this what a true genius is like?!"

"What overwhelming pressure! I can't even withstand the residual force alone!"

"Coming to this gathering of heavenly talents was the right choice!"

They stared in amazement at the two in the arena.

Qin Mofeng's expression was cold, and the hem of his robe fluttered slightly.

Baili Chang'an's face was grave. He had been knocked back more than ten feet.

The result made it clear that the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land had the upper hand!

Baili Chang'an was embarrassed and was about to continue fighting

when a mocking sneer suddenly rang out.

"Baili Chang'an,

the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land doesn't even want to bother with you.

Yet you insist on jumping around like a monkey.

Aren't you ashamed?

Then again, you're shameless all the time, so of course you aren't afraid of embarrassing yourself now."

Everyone was startled.

Who dared mock the future ruler of an ancient imperial clan like that?!

Baili Chang'an frowned when he heard the familiar voice.

He hadn't expected this annoying fellow to arrive so soon as well.

High in the void,

an extraordinarily wondrous black jade qilin, fierce and powerful, strode through the air.

With each step it took, an ink-dark barrier appeared.

On its back

sat a handsome youth in black, around fifteen years old, with a faint sneer on his lips.

He was Baili Chang'an's mortal rival,

Wen Yuyang, the young sect master of the Purple Firmament Divine Sect, one of the hegemonic powers of the Beiyou Dao Domain!

"Wen Yuyang, are you itching for a beating?!

Have you already forgotten the lesson you got last time?"

His mortal rival's arrival

made Baili Chang'an stop pestering Qin Mofeng, the holy son of the Primordial Holy Land.

Qin Mofeng glanced at the young sect master in the void.

He still didn't sense the slightest danger from him.

He couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.

He then flew away with the senior figures of the Primordial Holy Land.

At the mention of the lesson last time,

Wen Yuyang felt a surge of indignation and anger.

"You've got the nerve to bring that up?

If you hadn't suddenly called people over to gang up on me, could you have beaten me?

Knocking your teeth out and sending you crawling around looking for them would have been getting off lightly!

This time, just watch me beat your head into a pig's head!"

The bickering between the heirs of two major powers

gave the assembled heavenly talents plenty of gossip to enjoy.

Not long afterward,

in the void,

dozens of thick, sinister beams of dark red demonic light suddenly appeared, piercing heaven and earth.

Their demonic might was vast and terrifying beyond measure!

In an instant, demonic clouds rolled across the entire sky, and thunder roared deafeningly.

The world turned incomparably dark, oppressive, and gloomy, as though doomsday had arrived!

The demonic light slowly faded.

Dozens of mighty demonic cultivators appeared, their weighty, vast presences throwing heaven and earth into disorder.

At their head was a youth in dark red brocade robes, reclining on a throne.

His build was well-proportioned and strong, and his features were heroic and handsome.

Strands of blood-red hair fluttered in the wind, and the force emanating from him was powerful to the extreme.

He was aloof and cold, domineering and majestic.

He was like a demon lord who looked down on all living beings, invincible beneath the heavens!

He was Nangong Yue, young master of the Extreme Dao Demon God Palace of the Radiant Heaven Demon Domain!

He cast an arrogant glance down below.

Seeing no sign of the Gu Clan's divine son, he did not linger.

He led the people behind him to the main peak of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

At the Jade Pool Holy Land, the heirs of the major powers arrived one after another.

Meanwhile,

at the Gu Clan's Dao Evolution Hall,

inside the formation,

Spiritual Qi was so dense it seemed tangible, boundless sword intent drifted through the air, and a hazy glow lent the place an extraordinary air of mystery!

Countless divine stones and immortal crystals shone with wondrous light and color, their vast energy filling the space.

But they had slowly lost their luster.

Gu Xuanjin sat cross-legged at the center, the violent, razor-sharp force around him slowly settling.

After this period of cultivation,

he had refined all the resources he had obtained from the Lineage and the system.

His cultivation had broken through the Divine Bridge Realm bottleneck

and reached the second level of the Divine Ability Realm. He could now unleash the full might of divine abilities.

He stepped out of the hall.

High in the void,

nine black dragons had long been waiting, pulling his traveling palace, which was as bright and white as the clear moon.

Because Gu Xuanjin had asked an ancestor to give Ji Song some pointers,

Ji Song was no longer out and about. He had entered seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough to Half-Step Quasi-Emperor.

For that reason, Gu Xuanjin did not summon him this time.

Instead, he called upon Chu Xuheng, an Attendant at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and two Supreme Realm elders, Gu Mo and Wang Feng.

He also brought ten followers at the peak of the Saint King Realm, as well as two hundred Divine Martial Guards.

Many powers were gathering for this heavenly talent event.

Heavenly talents and powerful experts would assemble in droves.

If a conflict broke out,

and the people he brought weren't strong enough to keep the situation under control, he would be at a great disadvantage.

So there was no harm in bringing a few more experts.

Gu Xuanjin entered the traveling palace with Chu Xuheng and the others, while the Divine Martial Guards followed behind it.

The grand procession arrived at the cross-domain teleportation array.

They headed straight for the Azure Radiance Dao Domain.
