153: A divine eye? A blind man? (Thirty-eight)

"Who else?"

You Chen's voice echoed in the spacious Great Hall.

His words carried killing intent and the absolute confidence of an Emperor.

All the Ancient Saint Clan Prodigies present subconsciously avoided his gaze.

No one dared to answer.

Jin Lie, the young man in the golden robe, was definitely ranked among the top five in strength among their group.

Yet, he was severely injured by a single punch from this outsider.

This level of strength had exceeded their imagination.

"Pfft..."

Jin Lie, who had fallen beneath the stone pillar, spat out another mouthful of blood and struggled to climb up from the ground.

A section of his sternum had collapsed, his breathing was disordered, and his face was as pale as paper.

But the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes burned even brighter.

"I... I haven't lost!"

Jin Lie roared.

"I was just careless! How could your lowly Present World Bloodline possibly defeat my noble Ancient Saint Clan!"

He could not accept this reality.

To him, this was a great humiliation, worse than death itself.

He fiercely bit his tongue, forcibly suppressing his surging Qi and blood.

"Golden Crow Burning the Heavens!"

Jin Lie roared in anger, and blazing golden flames rose up from his body.

A gigantic Three-legged Golden Crow materialized behind him, emitting a scorching and violent Aura.

"Noisy."

You Chen's face remained undisturbed.

He simply raised his other hand.

This time, in the Void Realm behind him, the shadow of a Cyan Divine Bird appeared.

"Caw!"

A clear and resonant Phoenix cry echoed through the heaven and earth!

Under this Phoenix cry, the shadow of the Three-legged Golden Crow actually let out a mournful wail, and the flames covering its body dimmed slightly.

You Chen took a step, his figure moving so fast it blurred.

He completely ignored the fiercely burning golden flames, passed through the Golden Crow's shadow, and appeared before Jin Lie once more.

He struck out with a palm.

Pfft.

Jin Lie's Protective Divine Flame, rumored to be able to burn mountains and boil seas, was utterly vulnerable and easily pierced.

"Waa!"

Jin Lie looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body bent over like a shrimp.

The Golden Crow shadow behind him let out an unwilling wail and completely dispersed.

The spiritual power within his body was completely scattered, making it impossible to gather again in a short period.

Jin Lie rolled his eyes and collapsed.

You Chen retracted his finger, not even sparing him a glance.

He turned around again, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue.

This time, the Ancient Saint Clan Prodigies could no longer remain calm.

Their faces turned pale one by one, and some even involuntarily took a step back.

Too strong.

This Prodigy from the Present World was too strong.

Right at this moment.

An Aura as steady and profound as a mountain range spread out from the depths of the Great Hall.

A youth in gray linen clothes walked out from the shadows.

His appearance was ordinary, and his demeanor was also ordinary.

But with every step he took, the space beneath his feet slightly collapsed, emitting a dull sound.

All the Prodigies present showed expressions of awe when they saw him appear, respectfully lowering their heads.

"Senior Brother Jin Fan."

Jin Fan.

He was the Ancient Saint Clan's younger generation's publicly recognized top five Prodigy.

His cultivation base was at the Late Stage of the Guiyi Realm.

It was said that he once fought a Primordial Vicious Beast that had just entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm, all by himself.

Jin Fan ignored the crowd, his gaze calmly fixed on You Chen.

"Jin Lie's skill was inferior; he deserved it."

He spoke, his voice equally ordinary, betraying no emotion.

"But this place is the Ancient Saint Clan."

"Outsiders should not be so arrogant."

You Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He felt an unprecedented pressure from this youth named Jin Fan.

This was a formidable opponent.

One who could truly threaten him.

"You want to try?"

You Chen's voice was equally calm.

But his Battle Intent climbed steadily instead.

Jin Fan nodded.

He wasted no words.

His figure flickered, instantly vanishing from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared before You Chen and threw a punch.

A simple, straightforward punch.

There were no dazzling lights or shadows, and no astonishing Aura.

But as this punch was thrown, the space of the entire Great Hall stagnated.

A power so heavy it was indescribable crushed down towards You Chen.

It was as if the weight of the entire Small World was concentrated in this single punch.

You Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

He did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Dark Sparrow Swallowing the Heavens!"

He met it with a punch of his own.

Dark divine light circulated on his fist, and a dark golden vortex appeared, carrying the dominance of swallowing everything.

Boom!

The two fists collided.

Centered on the two of them, a spatial ripple visible to the naked eye violently spread out!

The floor of the Great Hall instantly became covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

You Chen and Jin Fan were simultaneously forced back three steps.

They were evenly matched.

"A little interesting."

A hint of interest finally appeared in Jin Fan's ancient well-like eyes.

The Aura around him changed.

A desolate and profound Aura, seemingly originating from the Primordial Great Desolation, emanated from him.

"Prison Suppressing Divine Body."

He murmured, and mysterious earthen yellow runes appeared on the surface of his body.

His figure merged with the entire earth.

"Mountain, come."

Jin Fan raised his hand and pressed down.

Rumble.

A phantom image of a ten-thousand-zhang Divine Mountain, condensed from Law, appeared above You Chen's head out of thin air, crashing down with the might to suppress everything!

You Chen looked up.

He felt the terrifying power capable of crushing an ordinary Guiyi Realm cultivator into paste.

But he did not retreat.

"Azure Luan Striking the Heavens."

The Azure Luan Legacy within him fully erupted.

A clear and resonant Phoenix cry rang out.

His entire being transformed into a cyan stream of light, advancing instead of retreating, soaring up against the terrifying pressure.

His figure traced a brilliant trajectory in the air.

Like a true Divine Bird, spreading its wings to fight in the Nine Heavens!

Boom!

The cyan stream of light violently collided with the ten-thousand-zhang Divine Mountain.

The Divine Mountain trembled violently, covered in cracks.

But ultimately, it forcibly suppressed the cyan light.

You Chen's figure landed back on the ground, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, the phantom image of the Divine Mountain in the sky also dispersed.

"Again!"

The Battle Intent in You Chen's eyes grew stronger.

He perfectly combined the You Que Divine Body and the Azure Luan Legacy.

His figure sometimes turned into a black hole swallowing everything, and sometimes into an Azure Luan soaring through the Nine Heavens.

Two distinct yet equally powerful forces changed unpredictably in his hands.

Jin Fan remained steady as a mountain.

His Prison Suppressing Divine Body possessed unparalleled defense and infinite power.

No matter how violent You Chen's attacks were, he stood firm and unmoving.

The battle between the two entered a white-hot stage.

The entire Great Hall had long been destroyed beyond recognition by the aftermath of their clash.

The Ancient Saint Clan Prodigies had already retreated outside the hall to avoid being affected.

In a corner.

Jun Yun remained quietly, acting as if the events outside had nothing to do with him.

But his newly formed Double Pupils clearly saw every movement and every circulation of power between the two.

You Chen's growth exceeded his expectations.

In just a few decades, he had achieved this level of Fusion between two peak Legacies.

Truly worthy of being a child of destiny.

In some aspects, his control over the You Que Divine Body was even more proficient than Jun Yun's own.

Jun Yun secretly praised him in his heart.

In the battlefield.

The battle between You Chen and Jin Fan had reached its climax.

Both simultaneously activated their strongest killing moves.

"Prison Suppressing, Starfall!"

In the Void Realm behind Jin Fan, stars condensed from Law appeared one by one, falling toward You Chen with an Aura of destruction.

"Dark Sparrow, Azure Luan, Reincarnation Transformation!"

Black and cyan divine lights shot up from You Chen's body!

A pitch-black Dark Sparrow and an Azure Luan intertwined and circled behind him, forming a massive, slowly rotating black and cyan taiji diagram.

A power of Reincarnation, containing life, death, swallowing, and creation, emanated from within.

Just as the two forces, powerful enough to destroy everything, were about to collide.

A purple figure appeared between the two like a ghost.

It was Zi Yuan.

She simply extended two slender fingers and lightly pointed towards the Void Realm.

"Enough."

As her clear and cold voice resonated.

The sky full of falling stars, and the massive black and cyan taiji diagram, instantly froze.

Then, like bubbles, they silently dissipated.

Both You Chen and Jin Fan shuddered, each retreating more than ten steps, their faces turning pale.

Zi Yuan's strength was unfathomable.

Jin Fan looked at Zi Yuan, then glanced at You Chen across from him, and withdrew his Aura.

"I lost by half a move."

He admitted it frankly.

"Your strength qualifies you to enter the Secret Realm."

Having spoken, he turned around and walked step by step back into the depths of the Great Hall, his figure disappearing into the shadows.

Outside the hall, the gaze of all the Ancient Saint Clan Prodigies towards You Chen completely changed.

There was no longer any scorn or disdain.

Only heartfelt admiration and submission remained.

This Emperor from the Present World used his strength to earn everyone's respect.

Zi Yuan walked up to You Chen, and a hint of approval appeared in her eyes.

"Your potential is greater than I imagined."

"Perhaps, you truly can succeed."

Right at this moment.

"Dong—"

An ancient and prolonged chime of a bell came from the deepest part of this Small World.

In the distance, the giant Stone Gate standing between heaven and earth began to emit brilliant light.

Mysterious ancient runes flowed across the gate, emitting a desolate and vast Aura.

"The Secret Realm is about to open."

Zi Yuan's expression also became serious.

She turned around and transmitted her voice to You Chen, speaking only loud enough for the two of them to hear.

"You Chen, my clan certainly has a purpose in inviting you this time."

"Within the Secret Realm, the Legacy of one of our clan's Half-Saint Ancestors is sealed."

"Before that ancestor fell, he had obtained a trace of a Primordial Divine Bird's Origin."

"To open his Legacy, we must use the power of a Divine Fowl to trigger resonance."
