134: Shocked Prodigies

“You’re really like a persistent ghost!”

“I thought you wouldn’t come here… but since you have, I’ll just settle the score from Tongtian River now!”

Du Mao’s expression was sinister. He would absolutely not let go of this person who had twice stolen his opportunities and severely injured him.

In an instant, boundless power of Calamity swept across the arena. Black mist permeated, and fierce winds roared.

One arena seemed to be split into an independent world, and Du Mao was its master. One could see the sky cracking, and various terrifying scenes of disaster emerging.

At the same time, the Nine Calamities Rebirth Gate, which had defeated many Tianjiao, appeared.

“If it weren’t for that item protecting you, do you think you could have escaped with your life?”

Chu Ying sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

So what if he was the Child of Calamity? He was still his defeated subordinate!

“Hmph! Times have changed. Let’s see who wins today!” Du Mao coldly snorted. Black mist enveloped the entire arena, like a dense fog, obscuring people’s vision and reducing their spiritual sense perception.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Ying and Du Mao had already engaged in battle!

However, at this very moment.

The Tianjiao from all around were already in an uproar!

Du Mao and Chu Ying’s unconcealed conversation allowed them to understand the general situation.

Calamity Child Du Mao had almost died at the hands of this person named Chu Ying! The location was likely the Tongtian River, which had appeared last time!

“Why is it really him…”

Yao Ruoxi, dressed in snow-white robes, her sleeves fluttering without a speck of dust, had a dazed look in her eyes.

She vaguely recalled the last time she saw Chu Ying, which was through a recording stone, showing Chu Ying’s duel with Ye Junfan.

“Yaoxi, is he really your Tai Xuan Holy Land’s former Holy Son?” Zi Xia Holy Maiden, in her purple ethereal dress, gently asked beside her.

She was very curious.

The strength displayed by this Chu Ying, and the fact that Divine King Body Luo Chen, Taichu Holy Son, Five Elements Holy Son, Yaoguang Saintess, and even Red Desire Star Envoy of Netherworld First Grade Hall all knew him.

It was evident that this person was definitely not some unknown individual. Judging from his conversation with Du Mao, he was probably also a monstrous Eight Heavens Champion!

How could such a person be a former Holy Son? Could it be that the current Tai Xuan Holy Son was even more formidable than him?

Zi Xia Holy Maiden’s words made Yao Ruoxi silent.

She didn’t know how to answer.

“Does Tai Xuan Holy Land even deserve to have a Holy Son of this caliber?” Yu Honglei scoffed with a cold smile, her eyes filled with disdain.

“An Ancient Sacred Body is indeed enough for them to treasure, but unfortunately, that Ancient Sacred Body has already self-destructed; he’s nothing but a waste.”

Since Ruo Xue Star Envoy was an undercover agent in Tai Xuan Holy Land, Netherworld First Grade Hall was actually very aware of the movements within Tai Xuan Holy Land.

Yu Honglei naturally disdained them, even though Chu Ying had twice disrupted their operations, she had to admit.

Tai Xuan Holy Land brought it upon themselves by driving away a peerless monstrous talent.

Zi Xia Holy Maiden’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She was surprised by Yu Honglei’s words. It seemed Netherworld First Grade Hall paid close attention to Tai Xuan Holy Land?

However, Yao Ruoxi did not respond, which made her feel even more that there was something fishy going on, and she became increasingly curious.

Gossiping had always been her hobby.

A woman’s sixth sense told her that Yao Ruoxi might have some kind of relationship with this person named Chu Ying.

Chu Ying and Du Mao on the arena were practically in a life-and-death battle, employing various techniques.

But Chu Ying did not use his full strength.

His several major Dharma Idols, especially Demonic Azure Luan, Nine Nether Hound, Kunpeng, and even the recently condensed Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Dharma Idol, were all hidden and unactivated.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, all of them were descendants of the various colossal powers in the Eastern Wilderness, Holy Sons, he did not want to expose too many of his methods.

It was laughable that Du Mao still thought his strength was only so much, becoming increasingly confident, constantly stacking his Moves, wanting to defeat him.

“I didn’t expect there to be an Eight Heavens Champion in the Eastern Wilderness. It’s astonishing.”

A Cultivator from the Endless Sea couldn’t help but speak.

“What does Young Master think?” Someone looked towards Wen Qingfeng.

Wen Qingfeng’s eyes were fixed on the arena. Even with the large amount of black mist shrouding it, making it appear very sinister, he could still see clearly.

“I cannot judge.” Wen Qingfeng shook his head slightly.

There was nothing he could do. He had lost to Du Mao, and at the same time, he couldn’t see through Chu Ying. Even though the two were fighting like that at the moment, he still couldn’t tell who had the greater chance of winning or who would ultimately lose.

“But, if I were to fight this person named Chu Ying, I would not be his match,” Wen Qingfeng sighed and said.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Endless Sea Cultivators were all dumbfounded.

The Young Master Wen they followed, from the Hidden Wen Family, was no ordinary individual. He was a monstrous talent who had already received an invitation from Eastern Continent Holy Palace, allowing him to enter Eastern Continent Holy Palace for cultivation without needing an assessment!

But even Young Master Wen admitted he was not Chu Ying’s opponent? Could it be that the other party was another terrifying figure like the Child of Calamity?

The so-called Eastern Continent was a vast region that encompassed the Eastern Wilderness and the entire Boundless Sea.

On the Boundless Sea, there were countless powerful forces across numerous sea areas and islands, their strength absolutely no less than that of the Eastern Wilderness. There were also ancient Restricted Areas that made people hesitate to approach.

In fact, the Eastern Wilderness in a broad sense was the Eastern Continent, and it should have included parts of the Boundless Sea. However, due to the passage of time and various reasons, communication between the Eastern Wilderness and the Boundless Sea became increasingly scarce.

If Cultivators from the Boundless Sea went to places like Central Province or Northern Plains, they would only acknowledge themselves as people of the Eastern Continent, not the Eastern Wilderness.

Furthermore, Eastern Continent Holy Palace was a colossal, heaven-supporting force, which only ever accepted true geniuses from within the Eastern Continent.

As early as the ancient era, it was jointly established by various orthodoxies, such as Holy Lands, Ancient Families, Hidden Families, and Restricted Areas.

Then, in a certain era.

Eastern Continent Holy Palace became completely independent, becoming a colossal power on the Boundless Sea. Its foundation was unimaginable, as it possessed more than one supreme emperor weapon to oversee it.

Of course, at that time, the Eastern Continent was also extremely glorious. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth existed eternally, Saint Lord Realm Cultivators were everywhere, and Great Saint Realm and Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators were abundant in every orthodoxy.

Even human myths who surpassed the Celestial Venerable Realm and were infinitely close to the Great Emperor could be glimpsed.

Of course, after the great changes in heaven and earth, neither the Eastern Wilderness nor the Eastern Continent were as they once were.

“Why does Young Master need to belittle himself? You only lost to Du Mao. I see that this person only has those few Moves back and forth, and he is not necessarily stronger than Young Master.” Some Tianjiao felt that Wen Qingfeng’s confidence was affected by his loss to Du Mao, which was why he spoke this way.

Wen Qingfeng shook his head with a bitter smile and said no more.

Those who were not Eight Cave Heavens Cultivators could not feel the chasm and pressure that existed even among those of the same rank.

“This Brother Chu isn’t a Holy Son of any Holy Land?”

The current focus of discussion among both the Endless Sea Tianjiao and the Eastern Wilderness Tianjiao was this.

After further understanding, the three Yuheng Holy Son couldn’t remain calm.

“Brother Chu claimed to be a rogue Cultivator,” Taichu Holy Son said.

“That’s impossible! How could a rogue Cultivator reach such a level?” Yuheng Holy Son frowned. His talent was not bad; he was a rare Seven Cave Heavens Cultivator, backed by Yuheng Holy Land, enjoying Holy Land resources.

Yet, he hadn’t opened an Eight Cave Heavens, so how could a rogue Cultivator do it?

Taichu Holy Son shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.

“I once heard that this Chu Ying was the former Holy Son of Tai Xuan Holy Land,” Luo Chen said softly. He had no particular interactions with Chu Ying; although they had met, they weren’t acquainted.
