Boom! The ground shook violently as energy waves surged sky-high outside the grand hall. The strike just now, unleashed by the three Divine Lords, had been blocked by Wu Tianjun—a truly heart-stopping and soul-stirring sight.
“Haha! Compared to ordinary Divine Lords, you guys are quite a bit stronger!” As the dust settled, Wu Tianjun’s clothes were completely unscathed, with only his hair slightly disheveled.
“Hmph! To take a blow at forty percent of our combined power and emerge unharmed, you certainly have reason to be arrogant!” a young Divine Lord sneered.
“Ha! Three eyes, huh? Looks like you're from the Celestial Race!” Wu Tianjun said, looking at the young man. “And you two dared to make a move as well, hehe!” he added, glancing at the other two.
“Let me handle this!” At this moment, the Divine Lord from the Tai Cang family suddenly stopped the three of them. After all, geniuses of their caliber possessed immense pride; they disdained teaming up against a single opponent. Besides, that person’s cultivation realm might not even be that high!
“Alright! Brother Tianwang, this brat is all yours!” The three young Divine Lords did not object.
“To die by my hand, Tai Cang Tianwang, is your honor!” he said, staring coldly at Wu Tianjun. The masked figure in white before him had caused the Tai Cang family to lose considerable face. He would absolutely not let this person off easily.
“Ah, such killing intent!” Wu Tianjun was slightly surprised. These people carried incredibly heavy blood karma; just for a bit of face, they wanted to take a life. “I really don’t like this aura,” he said, frowning.
“Haha! Brat, it’s too late! No one can save you now!” Tai Cang Tianwang sneered, expecting Wu Tianjun to show terror.
“Oh? Do I need anyone to save me?” Wu Tianjun replied dismissively. The man was merely an early-stage Divine Lord. He wouldn’t even need to activate his Demonic Veins to deal with him!
“Today, I will show you why I am called the ‘Evil Starry Sky Genius’! Anyone who offends my Tai Cang family must die!” Tai Cang Tianwang sneered, pointing his sword at Wu Tianjun. “Long Rainbow Sword!” he roared, as surging demonic energy erupted.
“Haha! So you’re the Starry Sky Genius everyone talks about! This young master has been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!” Wu Tianjun laughed heartily. “Fiery Demonic Fist!” He threw a punch, utilizing only his own cultivation and fist intent.
“Haha! To dare clash with a magic treasure using his bare body—he doesn't know his own limits! Huh?!” One of the young Divine Lords threw his head back and laughed, but his laughter abruptly cut short as he witnessed something unbelievable: that person had actually unleashed fist intent! Among them, only two had truly reached that realm!
“Ha! So he possesses fist intent. No wonder he’s so arrogant!” Tai Cang Tianwang merely furrowed his brow slightly. Although he had not yet reached the intent realm himself, he wasn’t the least bit afraid. To cultivators at their level, intent was merely a type of technique. After all, he currently possessed techniques that were no weaker than the intent realm—perhaps even stronger!
“Haha! This is more than enough to deal with you!” Wu Tianjun laughed. In an instant, fist and sword clashed.
Bang! The two of them recoiled and separated.
“What a terrifying physical body...” Tai Cang Tianwang muttered, his hand trembling slightly. The recoil from that clash had been incredibly powerful.
"Ah! That sword is no ordinary weapon!" Wu Tianjun looked at the rapidly healing wound on his fist, then turned to look at the sword. It definitely surpassed a Divine Lord-grade magic artifact.
"..." The spectators were also quite surprised. That mysterious, white-robed figure was incredibly strong! To think he had taken a strike from Heavenly King Tai Cang and emerged completely unscathed.
Only the member of the Phoenix Clan covered her mouth in shock. Although she couldn't discern the cultivation of the mysterious, masked figure in white, she was certain he had not yet reached the Divine Lord realm! He wasn't even a Divine Lord, yet he could fight a Divine Lord-level Starry Sky genius without falling into the slightest disadvantage. Just how terrifying was this person?
"I underestimated you a little! Your physical body has actually reached the Divine Lord level!" Although their previous exchange had been evenly matched, he wasn't worried in the least; he had only used seventy percent of his strength just now.
"Hmph! If all Starry Sky geniuses are like you, then heh heh, you've disappointed me far too much!" Wu Tianjun said with a strange laugh. This guy wasn't even as strong as the giant sand scorpion demonic beast he had killed earlier. Although that demonic beast was mutated and its realm had reached the peak Divine Lord level, Heavenly King Tai Cang was supposed to be a Starry Sky genius! He thought the man would at least be on par with that demonic beast. He knew his opponent hadn't used his full strength yet, but he had unleashed at least sixty percent, meaning at most, he was only equal to that beast.
"Haha! I must say, you are arrogant!" Heavenly King Tai Cang let out an angry laugh. "Today, I will show you the true power of a Starry Sky genius! Tai Cang Heavenly Art! Sword Peak!" He immediately made his move. "Too much nonsense," he muttered.
"Demon God Annihilation Art!" Wu Tianjun swung his fist again, unleashing his true killing move.
"This... This is an Ancient Demon Clan divine art!" The young Divine Lord of the Demon Clan and several other Demon Clan members were startled and terrified. Ancient Demon Clan divine arts could only be unleashed by those who possessed the Ancient Demon Bloodline. This person actually possessed the Ancient Demon Bloodline, but who on earth could he be?
*Boom!* After more than ten exchanges, the two separated. Heavenly King Tai Cang was pushed back three steps, while Wu Tianjun only retreated two. He had a slight edge.
"Tsk! You're not very strong, are you?" Wu Tianjun said dismissively.
"You... What is your relationship with Mohe Xuan?!" Heavenly King Tai Cang pointed at Wu Tianjun, his voice trembling. An Ancient Demon Clan member! This guy was actually from the Ancient Demon Clan!
"Mohe Xuan? Never heard of him!" Wu Tianjun shook his head. "Didn't you want to fight and kill me? Why stop now?" he grumbled. That guy had been radiating killing intent just a moment ago, but now it had suddenly vanished without a trace.
"You don't know Mohe Xuan?" Heavenly King Tai Cang asked, a hint of disbelief in his voice. Even the top prodigies of the major clans would get a headache if they crossed that guy, and he himself was only ranked third. If he really encountered Mohe Xuan, he would avoid him as far as the eye could see. Although they all bore the title of Starry Sky genius, there were still distinct tiers among them.
"Why would I need to lie to you? Hmph! Isn't your Tai Cang clan supposed to be very powerful?" Wu Tianjun sneered.
“You...” Tai Cang Heavenly King was furious, but he didn't immediately make a move. Ma He Xuan was also here this time, and it was best not to provoke him before meeting that person! He had to swallow this grudge. “Hmph! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because Ma He Xuan is backing you. I'll settle this score with you later!” he said with a cold snort. With so many people here, if they fought and Ma He Xuan found out, he might be hunted down by that madman throughout this entire immortal abode! He had to endure!
“Huh? This young master doesn't know who Ma He Xuan is! Did I say you could leave?” Yu Tianjun frowned. He had a grudge with the Tai Cang clan; if he didn't collect interest here, when would he?
“Don't push your luck!” Tai Cang Tian Yun coldly snorted.
“Hmph! What kind of logic is that?! You think you can just fight when you please and stop when you please? Is your Tai Cang family only capable of bullying the weak?!” Yu Tianjun snorted coldly. “I don’t care who Ma He Xuan is, nor am I interested in knowing! Don’t even dream of leaving here today!” he said in a cold voice.
“Good! Tian Yun! I guarantee you, even if Ma He Xuan comes, I will stop him for you! Kill him!” A cold voice rang out. A young man, treading on thin air, arrived. By the time he finished speaking, he was already there.
He wore purple robes, with rosy lips, fair skin, and eyebrows like swords. His tall, imposing figure was precisely that of a man for whom countless women would willingly die. The moment he arrived, everyone present instinctively recoiled a little; the newcomer was truly terrifying! He was indeed an invincible existence among the contemporary young generation.
“Big Brother!” Seeing the purple-robed young man arrive, Tai Cang Heavenly King said with a hint of pleasant surprise.
“Hmph! Because of your apprehension towards Ma He Xuan, you’ve made my Tai Cang family lose face! After we return, you will immediately face the wall for me!” the purple-robed youth said coldly.
“Understood!” Tai Cang Tian Yun immediately said respectfully. He seemed very afraid of the purple-robed young man.
“Hmph! Kill him! Let them see the consequences of offending my Tai Cang family!” he said, pointing at Yu Tianjun.
“I will kill him immediately!” Tai Cang Heavenly King, knowing the purple-robed young man was present, no longer feared Ma He Xuan. He immediately looked at Yu Tianjun with cold eyes, his killing intent surging.
“Haha! Seeing you have backup, you immediately want to lash out wildly, huh!” Yu Tianjun said with a mocking laugh. Although that purple-robed fellow was very powerful, he also felt a little fear. Still, it was unknown who would emerge victorious from this deadly struggle.
“Your Tai Cang family is nothing more than this!” he said coldly. In his eyes, the Tai Cang family’s reputation had plummeted to rock bottom!
“Die!” Tai Cang Heavenly King once again drew his sword and slashed towards Yu Tianjun. He had to die!
