322: Who dares to disagree? The despair of the little saintess!

Lesser Formless Realm, Central Martial Arts Arena.

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

Space itself groaned beneath the feet of that thousand-zhang tall Divine-Demonic Manifestation.

That grand, majestic, and emotionless questioning, like the final judgment of the Heavenly Dao, boomed within the depths of everyone's Soul, echoing for a long time.

No one answered.

One slap! Just a single slap!

The symbol of invincibility in their hearts, Saint Wu Chang, who had forcibly activated the Origin of his Blazing Flame Immortal Body and possessed strength comparable to the Late Stage of the Great Saint realm, was casually slapped aside like a fly, his life or death unknown!

That wasn't a battle; it was a crushing defeat!

It was a god's casual erasure of a Mortal—no, of an ant!

This had completely exceeded their understanding of the word "power"!

Everyone's gaze subconsciously converged on the only figure still standing in the arena.

Su Xiaoxiao!

At this moment, this peerless Prodigy who possessed the True Phoenix Immortal Body and was hailed as the Xuan Yuan Su Family's greatest Prodigy in millions of years—her beautiful face, which always carried an air of coldness and nobility, had long since lost all color, turning deathly pale.

Her delicate body trembled violently, and within those phoenix eyes as clear as glazed glass, there was unprecedented shock, fear, and a sense of... despair after her convictions were completely shattered!

Others only felt the terrifying Divine Might, but as the possessor of the True Phoenix Immortal Body with a noble Bloodline, she could see and feel far more than anyone else!

The moment Su Chen transformed into the thousand-zhang tall Divine-Demonic being, the True Phoenix Bloodline within her—the pride originating from the Primordial True Phoenix—actually let out an unprecedentedly shrill wail of sorrow!

That wasn't a warning; it was submission! It was fear!

It was as if she had seen the monarch at the source of her Bloodline, a supreme existence that could easily erase them along with their entire clan!

What she saw wasn't some manifestation, but an Archaic Divine-Demonic being walking out from ancient times!

And now, the gaze of that Divine-Demonic being fell upon her.

Those eyes, as indifferent as the sun and moon, gave only a light glance.

Buzz—!

Su Xiaoxiao felt the air around her instantly solidify like divine metal plates, as an irresistible and terrifying force locked onto her!

Her proud True Phoenix Immortal Body and her Great Saint Sixth Layer cultivation were as fragile as thin paper before this power!

She had no doubt that with just a single thought from him, she would be killed instantly, just like her brother Su Wuchang!

[Tsk, why hasn't this high-quality one knelt yet? Do I really have to do it myself?]

[My Law Heaven and Earth is charged by the second; it's very expensive! For every extra second I maintain it, I lose a portion of tonight's Cultivate resources! What a wasteful woman!]

Su Chen's heart was bleeding profusely, but on the surface, that Divine-Demonic Manifestation merely slowly raised a finger toward Su Xiaoxiao.

It was just a simple motion of raising a hand.

With a "crack," the ground beneath Su Xiaoxiao's feet instantly split open into a bottomless chasm!

She felt that what the finger pointed at was not her Physical Body, but her pride as a Prodigy for tens of thousands of years, the source of her True Phoenix Bloodline, and the Dao Heart she had cultivated until now!

"Crack... crack..."

It felt as if something had shattered deep within her Soul.

Thud!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone cracking, Su Xiaoxiao could no longer hold on. Her legs gave way, and she knelt down heavily!

She knelt so hard that two deep pits were formed in the Ten-thousand-year-old Profound Crystal stone ground beneath her knees!

For the first time, her proud head lowered deeply in such humiliation.

Two lines of tears slid uncontrollably down her pale cheeks.

It wasn't resentment or grievance, but the pure despair of one whose beliefs had been utterly crushed after seeing the true sea of stars and realizing she was merely a self-righteous firefly at the bottom of a well.

Using every ounce of her strength, she squeezed out a few words from her trembling throat, her voice hoarse and broken.

"Su Xiaoxiao... is... completely convinced!"

With the collapse of her final shred of pride.

The thousand-zhang tall Divine-Demonic Manifestation that had suppressed the entire world saw the billions of divine light beams around it, like a reversing river of stars, suddenly surge back and merge into the young man's body.

The world-destroying Divine Might vanished without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.

The massive sense of contrast, from Soul-suffocating pressure to an instantaneous vacuum, caused all the kneeling Su Family disciples to tremble violently at once. They then gasped for air, cold sweat instantly soaking their robes as if they had just woken up from a drowning nightmare.

When they looked up again, they saw only the handsome young man dressed in white.

Su Chen stretched, his bones making a series of "crackling" sounds. He then yawned, as if that world-destroying Divine-Demonic being from before was just everyone's hallucination.

He looked at the "Prodigies" kneeling all over the ground, curled his lip, and looked disgusted.

"Sigh, it's finally over."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you were this obedient from the start? You just had to waste so much of my time."

He walked up to the completely stunned Seventh Elder Su Qi, and as if he didn't see the other's dazed expression, he casually patted his shoulder.

"Oh, right, Old Seven, I'll leave the rest to you. Remember to send someone to scrape that red-haired brat off the wall and see if he's still breathing. Don't let him actually die; after all, he lost the bet fairly, and I'm still counting on him to be my hired thug in the future."

"I'm going back for a nap. I'm exhausted; this manual labor really isn't for me."

After saying that, he gave Spring Flower and Autumn Moon a look. The two girls immediately understood and lifted the rocking chair, preparing to leave this place of trouble.

The entire scene remained deathly silent.

Everyone was still immersed in the world-destroying scene from earlier and the contrast of Su Chen's casual attitude, unable to pull themselves out.

Seeing Su Chen's lazy back as he was about to leave, Seventh Elder Su Qi shuddered and suddenly snapped back to his senses.

He looked at Su Chen with eyes that could no longer be described as mere worship; it was as if he were looking at a god walking among men! He was looking at the future and hope of the Su Family!

His lips trembled, wanting to say something, but he found his throat so dry that not a single word would come out.

Finally, he scrambled to Su Chen's feet and knelt again with a "thud." This time, he used all his strength to prostrate himself, his forehead hitting the ground with a heavy "thump."

He was so moved that old tears streamed down his face. His voice cracked, filled with sobbing and endless repentance.

"Please wait, Your Highness the Divine Son!"

"Your Highness the Divine Son's Divine Might is peerless and eternal! It was this old man... it was me, it was all of our faults! We had eyes but failed to recognize a True Dragon, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, almost offending your Divine Might! Please punish us for our ignorance, Your Highness!"

Su Chen: "..."

[Holy crap! What's wrong with this old man now? Why did he kneel again? I just want to get off work! What's wrong with you people? Is there no end to this?!]
