99: Chapter 99 The Fear of the Prodigies of the Myriad Manifestations Holy Land! The Holy Body Among Holy Bodies!

The two Wanxiang Holy Land Disciples guarding the Mountain Gate tensed up upon hearing those words.

Ye Chen and Ye Wushang of the Mountain River Holy Land—have they arrived?

Exchanging a quick glance, they dared not hesitate; one of the gatekeepers immediately rushed into the Mountain Gate.

They had heard rumors before that Ye Chen and Ye Wushang were coming to their Wanxiang Holy Land to issue a challenge.

Their Wanxiang Holy Land was the final stop in the challenge of the Four Great Holy Lands.

However, they hadn't expected those two from the Mountain River Holy Land to arrive so quickly!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before long, streaks of light shot out from within the unremarkable Mountain Gate.

Once these streaks of light appeared, they formed a guard of honor, lining up neatly on both sides of the Mountain Gate.

As the light dissipated, it revealed a multitude of heroic and powerful young prodigies of the younger generation.

The many prodigies of the Wanxiang Holy Land stood with solemn expressions, their auras faintly present as they held their heads high.

They were the most powerful group within the younger generation of the Wanxiang Holy Land.

Like the gatekeeping Disciples, these prodigies of the Wanxiang Holy Land had long been prepared.

Upon receiving the news and knowing that Ye Chen and Ye Wushang of the Mountain River Holy Land were coming to challenge them, they had been waiting with bated breath.

Now that Ye Chen and Ye Wushang had announced themselves first before approaching slowly, showing the Wanxiang Holy Land full courtesy...

Then the Wanxiang Holy Land would naturally return the gesture and welcome their arrival with proper etiquette.

As the number one Holy Land of the East State Empire, they could not allow the Holy Land's prestige to be tarnished in front of outsiders!

At this moment, in the areas slightly further away from the Wanxiang Holy Land's Mountain Gate, the figures of powerful experts were hidden.

They were experts from the noble families and Sects near the Wanxiang Holy Land, coming here solely to witness the battle.

Without exception, these experts were powerful existences in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

But even these Tribulation Crossing Realm experts, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, had looks of intense excitement on their faces.

Excluding the Imperial Family, that person from the Wanxiang Holy Land was already the strongest Prodigy of their East State Empire.

Ye Chen had defeated Wan Lei of the Fenglei Holy Land, making him the veritable second-ranked Prodigy of the East State Empire.

Now that the first and second prodigies of their East State Empire were about to clash, how could they not be excited?

Regardless of who won or lost this battle, it would cause a massive sensation within the borders of their East State Empire!

And as witnesses to this battle, they would have the capital to brag when boasting to their acquaintances in the future!

Rumble!!!

The sound of a roar rang out, drawing the attention of the Wanxiang Holy Land prodigies and the experts who had come to watch.

A hundred-foot-long silver-white void-breaking spaceship slowly shattered the space and sailed out from the Void Realm.

Aboard that silver-white void-breaking spaceship, two heroic figures—a youth and a young man—stood tall.

The young man stood behind the youth, his head slightly lowered, his expression carrying a hint of respect.

The youth had one hand behind his back, his expression relaxed; as his gaze shifted, it was as if a Heavenly Emperor were inspecting the mortal realm.

Seeing these two heroic figures, everyone couldn't help but narrow their eyes.

Have Ye Wushang and that Ye Chen finally arrived at the Mountain Gate?

They were not unfamiliar with Ye Wushang, but was that young lad the Ye Chen who, according to the news, had defeated Wan Lei?

Indeed, he possessed a natural majesty; although his cultivation was only at the True Person Realm, they absolutely did not dare to underestimate him!

Aboard the silver-white void-breaking spaceship.

Ye Chen stood with one hand behind his back, looking down. Seeing the formation below, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

He hadn't expected that the Wanxiang Holy Land would have its own prodigies come out to welcome them.

Such an action not only displayed the majesty and reputation of the number one Holy Land...

But it also told the many experts who had come to watch that their Wanxiang Holy Land was... full of confidence regarding this battle!

The many prodigies of the Wanxiang Holy Land took a deep breath in unison and cupped their hands toward where Ye Chen and Ye Wushang were.

"On behalf of the Wanxiang Holy Land, we welcome both prodigies to our Wanxiang Holy Land!"

The voices echoed in waves, carrying immense spiritual power; the prestige traveled thousands of miles away and still did not dissipate.

Under the impact of this wave of spiritual power, Ye Chen and Ye Wushang still stood in place, their expressions unchanged.

The challenge hadn't even begun, and they were already preparing to give the two of them a show of force?

However, a spiritual power wave of this level couldn't even break through the defenses of the void-breaking spaceship.

The scene before them seemed to be welcoming them, but in reality, it was a pre-battle probe of their foundations!

Seeing that their probe was ineffective, the hearts of the Wanxiang Holy Land prodigies shuddered.

As expected, they had come prepared. Although they hadn't used their full strength just now, they had all acted together to test them.

But the result fed back to them was clearly somewhat unsatisfactory.

The Tribulation Crossing Realm experts from various Sects and noble families watching from a distance clenched their fists upon seeing this, becoming even more excited.

It's about to begin. Although they were all Tribulation Crossing Realm existences, such a scene was not often seen.

The Wanxiang Holy Land! That's the Wanxiang Holy Land! The number one Holy Land of the East State Empire!

To put on such a grand display and wait so solemnly for two juniors of the younger generation was truly unexpected!

On the deck.

After Ye Chen gave Ye Wushang a slight nod, he took a step forward and disappeared from the void-breaking spaceship.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived before the Mountain Gate of the Wanxiang Holy Land.

At the same time, indifferent words slowly echoed in this part of the world.

"Ye Chen, the First Sequence Disciple of the Mountain River Holy Land, has come to challenge your Holy Land's prodigies. I ask for your... guidance!"

The voice was very flat, but when it fell into the ears of the many Tribulation Crossing Realm prodigies of the Wanxiang Holy Land, it caused them all to take a step back.

Power involuntarily surged from the bodies of all the Wanxiang Holy Land's Tribulation Crossing Realm prodigies, their expressions filled with wariness.

They were very well aware that this boy before them, who looked only in his teens and had a cultivation of only the eighth stage of the True Person Realm...

Not long ago, had single-handedly challenged the entire Fenglei Holy Land, and even Wan Lei, the possessor of a Saint Physique in the Fenglei Holy Land, was not his match.

They considered themselves prodigies and monsters, but they still had a very clear understanding of their own position.

They were indeed prodigies and monsters, but compared to the monster Wan Lei who possessed a Saint Physique, they simply weren't enough.

If even Wan Lei had lost, what did they have to fight against this freakish Ye Chen?!

As Ye Chen's voice fell and he saw no one stepping forward, his brow furrowed slightly.

"In the vast Wanxiang Holy Land, with so many Tribulation Crossing Realm prodigies, is there not a single person to accept the challenge?"

"Where is your Wanxiang Holy Land's 'Physique Among Physiques'? Why has he not appeared yet?"

Coming to the Wanxiang Holy Land this time, what he looked forward to most was that rumored 'Physique Among Physiques'.

He had heard that even Wan Lei was utterly convinced by that 'Physique Among Physiques' and admitted he was no match.

He was very familiar with Wan Lei's temper; if even Wan Lei restrained his sharpness before that person, it spoke volumes.

But these guys before him now couldn't possibly be that 'Physique Among Physiques' of the Wanxiang Holy Land.

What did this mean? Was he, Ye Chen, being looked down upon?!

Ye Chen hadn't revealed any aura of power, but upon hearing the words echoing in their ears...

The expressions of the Wanxiang Holy Land prodigies all changed, and they subconsciously took a few more steps back.

A trace of anxiety appeared on the faces of all the prodigies, and they all fixed their eyes on the Mountain Gate.

Why hasn't Senior Brother come out yet? They're about to buckle under the pressure!

As if sensing their anxiety, a ripple appeared above the Mountain Gate.

The figure of a handsome young man slowly walked out from within with his hands behind his back.

A warm and gentle voice rang out softly as the young man stepped out.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, your opponent for this battle is me. Please do not make things difficult for my fellow Disciples."

"I am also very curious to see just how strong the Prodigy who defeated Wan Lei while in the True Person Realm actually is."

Before the voice had even faded, a smile appeared on the handsome young man's face.

Appearing along with the smile was his terrifying aura, which was clearly only at the Calamity Crossing Realm Eighth Stage, yet could suppress the entire field.

Rip!

Rumble...

Even space could not withstand this terrifying aura, constantly shattering to reveal the black void.
