319: Section 319

He then looked at the Prodigies of the Su Family who were entering the arena.

“Little Mu, did you see that kid just now? Make sure he understands what a gap in power looks like!”

Su Mu transmitted.

A handsome young man, somewhat similar in appearance to Su Zhou, chuckled, “Alright, Third Uncle…”

Chapter 175: Mythical Black Dragon Heaven, Lord of Myriad Gods, Sky-Swallowing Dragon!

The young man's eyes curved into a smile, and his words carried an indescribable gentleness.

This feeling was not like Su Yun's gentlemanly, jade-like warmth, but an indescribable sensation.

If one had to describe it, it was as if when he first stood there, he was herding All Heavens.

He was the shepherd, with all living beings, Myriad Realms, and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as his pasture.

Apart from the Su Family, all other beings were merely sheep and cattle under his care.

How could a shepherd be cruel to sheep and cattle?

It was only natural to take whatever he desired.

“Little Mu, I trust you to handle this. Make sure that kid learns a harsh lesson!”

“He should also be grateful to our Su Family for gifting him the weapon, hehe!”

Su Mu said, a cold sneer on his face.

The three thousand demonic shadows constantly swaying behind him left all beings sighing in awe.

The young man politely nodded. He said, “Alright, Third Uncle, I’ll go then.”

Then, he looked towards Su Zhou on the high platform, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.

He then whispered, “I will certainly not disappoint Father.”

Afterward, he turned and stepped into the Tianjiao Arena.

As all the Prodigies participating in the martial arts demonstration entered the arena,

countless scenes shifted, and the water curtain divided into numerous Small Worlds.

Within them, the Laws and Dao were complete, allowing Cultivators to fight with all their might. This Tianjiao Arena was already considered a supreme treasure.

When Prodigies sparred and fought within it, their combat power would improve and advance.

It was another supreme treasure!

Even in the eyes of many Dao Lord Giants, the mystical nature of this Tianwu Arena was no less than that of the Lingdao Sky Ladder.

It made them once again sigh in admiration at the Su Family's power and grandeur.

“Within this arena, rules are self-contained, and in the ethereal realm, it seems to harbor some kind of Legacy. It is truly extraordinary!”

“This is… the Tianjiao Arena!!” A knowledgeable Dao Lord Giant recognized the Tianjiao Arena.

His voice trembled slightly. For a Dao Lord Giant who had lived for tens of thousands of years to be so flustered naturally attracted the attention of others.

“Old Mr. Li, have you recognized the origin of this arena?!”

Even Su Zhou couldn't help but glance at this old and decrepit Dao Lord Giant.

He was very old, with a deep aura of twilight. A True God could live for 100,000 years, while a Dao Lord Giant could live for as long as 300,000 years.

If they sealed themselves with divine essence during that time, their lifespan would be even longer.

02 Most Dao Lord Giants who frequently traveled externally were 'young' individuals, typically around 100,000 years old.

Dao Lord Giants over 250,000 years old mostly entered death seclusion, hoping to take the next step. If there was no hope of a Breakthrough, they would seal themselves within divine essence, preserving their lifespan to add to the foundation of their respective forces.

But Old Mr. Li was different. He was originally a Loose Cultivator, not affiliated with any force, living a carefree and unrestrained life.

His lifespan had already reached 290,000 years, with only 10,000 years left before he would completely transform into Dao.

However, this Dao Lord Giant was unwilling to seal himself in divine essence.

He once said, “I am truly happy in the human world; what use is a prolonged existence?”

Therefore, he had always been active in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It was even rumored that he was present to observe when Master Ascends to Heaven in that battle.

In terms of combat power, he was not a Heaven-Defying individual, but when it came to extensive knowledge, many of the Dao Lord Giants present were indeed inferior to him.

Old Mr. Li looked at the Tianjiao Arena with a hint of fascination.

Then, cupping his hands, he spoke to Su Zhou, “Su Clan Chief, the Su Family’s foundation is truly profound to this extent!”

“A heavenly treasure like the Tianjiao Arena actually still exists in this world!”

Old Mr. Li's voice was respectful.

He ignored the eager gazes of the surrounding Dao Lord Giants who wanted him to reveal the origin of the Tianjiao Arena.

However, upon hearing Old Mr. Li's words, Su Zhou couldn't help but glance at the old man again.

“An old person becomes a spirit” – this saying was indeed not groundless.

Old Mr. Li seemed to be praising the Su Family's foundation, but in reality, he had another meaning.

He was asking Su Zhou for permission to reveal the origin of this treasure.

If he spoke without permission, it would mean provoking a terrifying Family like the Su Family for no reason.

With just a few subtle thoughts, he managed to convey his intentions clearly in a couple of sentences.

Su Zhou chuckled softly, “Old Mr. Li, you flatter me.”

He merely said this with humility.

But Old Mr. Li already understood.

This meant that he didn't mind him speaking about it. His heart was then filled with even greater awe.

Indeed!

Since they could present it as a courtesy to all beings, their own Clan must naturally possess even more powerful treasures.

“Oh my! Old Mr. Li, we know you’re knowledgeable, so stop playing coy!”

A Dao Lord Giant urged him.

Old Mr. Li stroked his beard, sensing the gazes of the surrounding Dao Lord Giants, and then slowly began to speak.

“When I was young, I once stumbled into a grotto-heaven. There was no astonishing Legacy within that grotto-heaven, but there was a mural.

It recorded a remarkable existence, Prodigy Great Emperor!”

Many Dao Lord Giants exclaimed in surprise. Prodigy Great Emperor, named after ‘Prodigy,’ how arrogant, yet he deserved this imperial title.

He came from a Heaven-Battling Clan, disliked by gods and abhorred by ghosts, hated by the Dao of Heaven and Earth. It was extremely difficult for members of his Clan to embark on the path of Cultivation.

But Prodigy Great Emperor emerged out of nowhere. In his youth, upon first hearing of the Dao of Cultivation, he broke through three realms in a single day.

Furthermore, he later defied Heaven and changed his destiny, stepping on the corpses of countless powerful individuals to reach the Emperor Road.

He once made a grand vow on the Emperor Road: May Prodigies emerge in abundance throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and may all races not be forsaken, with a path to Cultivation!

He broke the shackles of Heaven and Earth, achieved the supreme Great Emperor fruit, and then tore apart the limitations of Heaven and Earth, allowing all races in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, like the Heaven-Battling Clan, who were cursed by Heaven and Earth, to Cultivate.

Moreover, during his era, countless Prodigies were born, and even many Ancient Ones and Great Emperors enjoyed the residual blessings of Prodigy Great Emperor.

“In that grotto-heaven, I saw a grand event, which was recorded there.

After Prodigy Great Emperor achieved the Great Emperor fruit, he most enjoyed watching Prodigies perform martial arts. With supreme means, he condensed a portion of the Great Dao into an arena.

Any Prodigy who performed martial arts within it would receive immense benefits, and the more outstanding the Prodigy, the more Opportunities they would receive.

If an unparalleled Prodigy, capable of rivaling Prodigy Great Emperor's Legacy, were to appear…

Then…” Old Mr. Li’s voice became somewhat low.

This made the Dao Lord Giants listen intently.

“The Great Emperor Legacy emerges!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of many Dao Lord Giants changed drastically, and their eyes even showed a hint of unconcealed greed.

Great Emperor Legacy!

Even if it was just a possibility, a legend, it was enough to drive them mad!

At this moment, even the Dao Lords with profound self-control felt an indescribable surge of desire.

It was as if the floodgates of desire had slowly opened at this moment.

“Everyone, have some tea…” Su Zhou's indifferent words fell casually.

But the next moment…

Whoosh!

Buzz!

Countless Dao Lord Giants felt the space around them annihilating, and in the distance, a certain indescribable anomaly seemed to appear in the sky.

They couldn't help but look sideways.

They only saw countless small stars continuously falling from the sky, as if drawn by some terrifying force, heading straight for the Lingxiao Realm.
