"This..."
After a brief silence, someone pondered, "It is indeed a bit bizarre. Logically speaking, even if it's a young Born Supreme or one who has already grown to the point where countless people look up to him, once their bones are extracted and their divine blood is drawn, it's a dead end."
"He actually managed to survive?"
"He must have survived. If he hadn't, how could the Dual-Pupil Warrior have 'self-destructed' like this? It would affect his reputation. The reason for doing this is clearly to provoke that young man to show himself and then kill him, ending the cause and effect and resolving his worries."
"That's true, and I also believe this is the truth. But to survive after having one's bones extracted is indeed astonishing and beyond comprehension."
"It's quite shocking, but not impossible. After all, the Born Supreme is also extremely rare. How much do we really know about them?"
"We only know a few words from the records. Perhaps, after having one's bones extracted, there might still be a chance of survival."
"There might be a possibility, I'm just saying."
"It's possible that the existence capable of extracting the bones of such a Supreme has strength greater than his. But since he chose to extract the bones, it represents that his innate talent is inferior to the Supreme."
"So... he's afraid that the other party will survive and seek revenge, so after extracting the bones, he will definitely eradicate them. Therefore, in the past records, none of those whose bones were extracted managed to survive?"
"This... it does make sense. But doesn't that venomous woman understand this logic? She should have taken action too!"
"The logic is indeed as you say, but the Great Dao has fifty days and forty-nine ways to escape."
"All things have a glimmer of hope."
"You're talking nonsense, I don't understand."
"You understand, don't you?"
"Your grandpa!"
"Speaking of which, that venomous woman is truly venomous!"
"She is venomous, but on the other hand, if you or I were in this situation, who could guarantee that we wouldn't be tempted?"
"..."
The crowd fell silent again.
Immediately, someone scoffed, "If I may say, the one who should take responsibility and bear the consequences is undoubtedly the Stone Clan."
"A clan with two Supremes ended up like this, and in the end, they even turned on each other. It's become a joke for us to talk about during our free time. Isn't it a pity?"
"What's there to pity? Not only did they not stop it, but they even helped the Dual-Pupil Warrior to announce this to the world. Obviously, they've already made their choice. To be honest, it's not a difficult decision. Between an Invincible Supreme and a Born Supreme who had his bones extracted, the choice is clear."
"It's not difficult, but it's too ruthless. Cultivation... tsk, in the end, do they even resemble humans? Is the Stone Clan not walking the path of ruthlessness?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, compared to that, I'm actually more curious. Why are you all so sure that the Born Supreme who had his bones extracted will definitely appear and fight the Dual-Pupil Warrior?"
"Even if he's a Born Supreme, after having his bones extracted and barely surviving, his talent should be almost completely stripped away, right? How much strength could he have now?"
"Him..."
"Facing the challenge of the Dual-Pupil Warrior and the Invincible Supreme, will he definitely show up?"
Upon hearing this, the others all laughed.
"Heh, just from hearing this, it's clear that your talent is ordinary, and you're not very promising."
"Not bad, I agree."
"If you had even a bit of talent or even a bit of Invincible Belief, you would understand why we're so sure he will appear and fight the Dual-Pupil Warrior."
"Moreover, he used to be a Born Supreme, and he managed to survive in such a dire situation. He's like a Born Supreme reborn from the ashes!"
"..."
...
"The news has spread far and wide."
Within the Moon Holding Sect, Ya Ya frowned, "This time, I'm afraid there will be many spectators. Our Moon Holding Sect might have to truly enter the Central State's attention."
She had no favor for Shi Qi,
But at the same time, she was once again shocked by Lin Fan's Divine Calculation.
Shi Qi, a Dual-Pupil Warrior, fighting in the Illusory Deity Realm?
Wasn't this exactly the same as the plot in 'The Sole Ruler of Eternity'?
"But on the other hand..."
She secretly muttered, "Shi Shidi is indeed similar to the character in 'The Sole Ruler of Eternity'. However, he is no longer alone, and..."
Lin Fan calmly said, "Sooner or later, we will enter the Central State's attention. There's no need to worry too much. Let's just focus on our own affairs."
"That's true."
Ya Ya's eyes spun, but no one knew what she was thinking.
...
Time passed, and half a month had gone by.
In the Illusory Deity Realm, on one of the Divine Prodigy Arenas, Shi Qi, the Dual-Pupil Warrior, sat cross-legged and waited quietly.
Outside the arena, countless layers of people surrounded it.
Most of them were from the younger generation, including Divine Prodigies and promising talents, and even some powerful elders from previous generations.
For more than half a month,
Ever since Shi Qi stepped onto the arena, they had been calling their friends, eager to witness a true Divine Prodigy Battle, especially the might of Shi Qi, the Dual-Pupil Warrior!
Even Divine Prodigies from the Central State had come in large numbers.
They all possessed Invincible Belief and confidence, but Shi Qi's formidable reputation made them cautious.
Unfortunately, although Shi Qi had fought numerous times, his opponents were mostly unremarkable, offering no valuable insights.
Therefore, they hadn't come before, but now, the Invincible Supreme and the Dual-Pupil Warrior were about to face off against a reborn young Supreme.
Although they didn't know the current strength of the young Supreme who had his bones extracted, the fact that Shi Qi treated him with such seriousness indicated that he was no ordinary opponent.
Since that's the case...
This battle must not be missed.
However...
Having waited here for over half a month, they had yet to see the young supreme one appear. Initially, they had been patiently waiting, but now, they were somewhat dissatisfied.
"More than half a month, and the young supreme one hasn't shown up. Could he be afraid?"
"Will this fight happen or not?"
"If it's not going to happen, it would have been better to clarify this earlier and save us from wasting time."
"I'm waiting to break through!"
"Break through? Ha, my beloved wife is waiting for me. Hearing that the dual-pupil warrior will battle the young supreme one, I rushed here from my honeymoon to watch the fight. After waiting for half a month, I haven't even seen the person?"
"Clarify it, will this fight happen or not?!"
"If it's not going to happen, then let's all go home and find our mothers."
"The dual-pupil warrior can sit tight, but we're all anxious. He remains so calm."
"Of course he's calm. As a dual-pupil warrior, how could he lack the invincible spirit? Among his peers, who can Be His Enemy?"
"Boast!"
"Boast? The dual-pupil warrior is known as the invincible one, who has ever known him to lose?"
"Ha, country bumpkins are country bumpkins. The dual-pupil warrior has never lost? That's because he hasn't met me yet! Otherwise, he would have already fallen!"
"What did you say?!"
"I said, you are a country bumpkin. How about that?"
"You!!!"
"Settle, Dao Friend. They are from the Central State, and they are the pride of the Central State's major sects..."
"!!!"
"..."
A potential conflict that might have erupted was suddenly cut short. Upon learning the other party was a Central State prodigy, those who had been boasting about the dual-pupil warrior immediately dared Not Speak Further.
They then hid themselves in the crowd.
It wasn't that they were scared, but rather...
It was too embarrassing!
But there were still those who were unconvinced, sneering from the corner: "I heard that in the past, there was an invincible one named Lu Haojie. After his ascension, everyone boasted of their own bravery."
"You claim you would have defeated him long ago, but words are just words."
"Now, the dual-pupil warrior is waiting on the arena for a battle, and the young supreme one is unknown."
"Facing him in battle now, wouldn't that be perfect?"
"You?!"
The Central State prodigy who had just boasted loudly was suddenly speechless.
Damn it!
I was just showing off in front of you country bumpkins. Do I really have to fight the dual-pupil warrior?
If I were one of those Immortal Ancient Clan divine sons or Holy Land sequences, I wouldn't be afraid. But I'm not one of them! You're just looking for a fight?
His face darkened, and he snorted, "Open your dog eyes and see how many people have gathered here and waited for how long."
"Everyone is waiting and looking forward to the battle between the dual-pupil warrior and the young supreme one, the ‘Dual Stones’ battle!"
"You want me to defeat the dual-pupil warrior? Wouldn't that disappoint everyone?"
"Wouldn't that make me the object of everyone's disdain, making you the laughing stock of all?!"
"If you have the guts to step onto the arena and fight!"
"..."
He was flustered, flustered!
The surrounding young cultivators all covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.
Is the dual-pupil warrior truly invincible?
No one knew.
After all, this is the Golden Great Era. If an existence emerges that can rival the dual-pupil warrior, it's not beyond comprehension.
Even if there are a few who can defeat him, it would still be reasonable and expected.
After all, in the Golden Great Era, prodigies are as common as dogs.
But even in the Golden Great Era, those who can defeat the dual-pupil warrior are absolutely few, and the person before them is clearly not one of them.
At this point, everyone could see.
This so-called Central State prodigy was just boasting and talking big.
If he truly had the ability and was confident he could defeat the dual-pupil warrior, he would have already stepped onto the arena to fight.
What's the point of boasting here?
"Pfft."
"If you don't have the ability, then you don't. Blowing smoke here, you get it, but you lack the strength."
"Want to step onto the stage and battle the young prodigy?"
"Sure."
"Step up!"
Boom!
Another prodigy arena descended from the sky, landing nearby. The young man laughed heartily and strode onto the stage.
The surrounding young cultivators were all taken aback.
"He really dares to battle him?"
"Although we don't know his name, he is undoubtedly a Central State prodigy. Could he be afraid?"
"Afraid of what? A battle in the Illusory Deity Realm, and at the same realm, even if he dies, it won't overly impact his reality. Instead, he could gain a great reputation and even become famous with one move."
"Why not do it, then?"
"How could he not dare?"
"This..."
"This makes sense."
Soon, they all thought that the young man just wanted to give it a shot. Even if he lost, he would still leave a good impression. If he won, he would have the record of 'defeating a Central State prodigy.'
What a good deal?
Definitely a safe bet!
After all, the prodigy arena is relatively fair, suppressing both parties to the same realm for a 'fair' battle. If he has enough talent and strength, he still has a chance to win.
However...
Just as they all thought so, someone spoke up, "..., you don't recognize him?"
"Do you know him? He's quite famous?"
"Indeed, I've never seen him, and I don't know his name."
Looking at the Central State prodigy who had already stepped onto the arena, the surrounding people all showed curious expressions, eyeing the young man, "Could he be from another domain, somewhat famous in one of the Eight Domains?"
"Brother of the Phoenix Clan, if you know, please enlighten us?"
The Phoenix Clan cultivator, with a grim face, said, "He is..."
"Long Ao Tian."
Everyone: "???"
"What?"
"Long... Long Ao Tian!"
Wow!
The scene was instantly abuzz, "It's... the one who consecutively killed three Phoenix Clan divine sons, and even the Golden Phoenix Son fell to his hands, Long Ao Tian?"
"Huh?!"
What the hell? Why are you all shouting so loudly? And why bring up Long Ao Tian's achievements? More importantly, every single one of his accomplishments they mentioned used our clan as a stepping stone... How deep is this grudge?
Do I not care about face?
His face darkened, as if scorched by a hot pan, turning black enough to glow, "If there's only one Long Ao Tian in this world..."
"Hiss!!!"
"This is going to be good!"
"I thought he'd be brutally crushed by that Central State Divine Prodigy, but now it seems the outcome is still uncertain!"
"It's actually Long Ao Tian!!!"
"Long Ao Tian's strength and talent are renowned even in the depths of the mountains and forests. His achievements... tsk tsk tsk, they say in that battle, the Golden Phoenix Son was utterly humiliated. Even his protector was slain by Long Ao Tian, who, at the eighth stage, decisively killed a ninth stage great demon and then roasted and devoured him!"
"Such an existence is undoubtedly among the top tier in the Central State. Can this Central State Divine Prodigy withstand him?"
"He can't withstand a ghost! I know this person; he's a core disciple of a major sect, indeed a Divine Prodigy. In the Eight Domains, he'd surely become a renowned Divine Prodigy as well. But compared to Long Ao Tian, he's nothing."
"Look, the Dual-Pupil Warrior has opened both eyes... and he's standing up! He wants to watch too?"
"Even this Invincible Supreme is showing respect for Long Ao Tian!"
"..."
The crowd's discussion grew more animated.
The Phoenix Clan cultivators' expressions, however, were all uglier than their dead mothers'.
Damn it...
You're still talking!
Long Ao Tian has so many achievements, why must you keep dragging our Phoenix Clan into this?
Wait, hold on...
It seems like Long Ao Tian's rise to prominence was indeed at our clan's expense, especially recently. So many ninth stage elders in the clan have been relentlessly hunting him down, yet he always manages to escape at the most critical moments, despite being severely injured.
It's said that with each 'farewell', Long Ao Tian's strength increases, leaving the clan elders in a frenzy.
"I didn't expect him to dare show up in the Illusory Deity Realm!"
"He's truly despicable!"
"It's difficult to kill him here, but... since he's revealed himself, we must observe and understand his current strength. We need to gather all the intelligence related to him and report it back to the clan."
"Of course!"
"..."
...
The Divine Prodigy Arena.
The Central State Divine Prodigy had been smirking, confident that with his strength, he would effortlessly crush the young man before him.
But...
This kid had the audacity to insult and humiliate me. So, how could I let him lose gracefully? I must ensure he loses thoroughly and utterly, disgraced beyond repair!
Just as he was about to observe, he suddenly heard a commotion from the audience, followed by exclamations and gasps, and then... he heard them mention Long Ao Tian.
"Long Ao Tian?!"
His expression changed slightly.
Even from afar in the Central State, he had heard this name.
After all, the Phoenix Clan was not weak, and their first Divine Son was renowned for his formidable reputation. Naturally, they would pay attention.
"Where's Long Ao Tian?"
He scanned the crowd and found that everyone was staring at the arrogant young man on the arena, even the Dual-Pupil Warrior, Shi Qi, was fixated on him...
Wait!
No... it can't be!
His expression changed, his scalp tingling, and he felt like a fool.
"You..."
"Are you Long Ao Tian?"
In that instant, his heart skipped a beat.
Damn it!
I just wanted to show off and feel superior in front of these country bumpkins, and it's my first time at that. Why did I have to win the grand prize?
Among the Eight Domains' Divine Prodigies, aside from the Dual-Pupil Warrior, Long Ao Tian is the most prominent and renowned!
"I may not change my name, but I won't change my surname. It's indeed me."
Long Ao Tian stood tall, his slender figure straight as a rod.
"I know it's me, and you still dare to challenge me. You have some guts."
"Come, make your move."
"I'll give you this chance."
"..."
"!"
The heavens gave me this chance.
Do I not care about face?
Brutally defeating my opponent would make me awesome, but being defeated by him would make me a stepping stone.
"Cough, um..."
"Brother Long!"
"Brother Long."
"It was a misunderstanding, just a joke."
"I was just teasing you, don't take it to heart. By the way, where are you currently located? I've been collecting treasures these years, and I'd like to befriend you. As the saying goes, we won't part until we're drunk..."
He decisively conceded.
"Tsk!"
"I thought you were something special!"
"A Central State Divine Prodigy! This is the Central State Divine Prodigy?
