574: The difference in strength is too great; we can't afford to provoke them!

This might be the largest number of participants in the Contest of the Imperial Son ever!

Previously, only the most talented and powerful Saints from the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects were chosen to compete for the Emperor's Companion, once every thousand years, until ten thousand years had passed and ten were selected.

Over ten thousand years, the ten Emperor's Companions selected each had a strength of at least Golden Body Realm Eighth Level; otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to compete.

Secondly, the difference in their strength would not be too great. Ten thousand years might seem long, but when it came to competing for the Imperial Son, each Sect had ways to help them reach the Peak of the Golden Body Realm in the shortest possible time!

Only at this point would there be no difference in their Realm, and the remaining competition would depend entirely on the individual.

However, this time, all the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects were destroyed, leaving the remaining Sects without the need to select people. The Three Saints of the Golden Crow also intentionally relaxed the restrictions; anyone who had entered the Golden Body Realm could participate.

As a result, all Sects and hidden young Cultivators in the Five Domains also took action.

They wished to seize this opportunity to obtain the identity of the Imperial Son and thus gain qualification to enter the Inner Domain.

It must be said that the Three Saints of the Golden Crow truly exhausted all means to smoothly account to the Dugu Family.

Watching these numerous Cultivators enter the Emperor Weapon Small World, the Contest of the Imperial Son thus began.

However, for the Three Saints of the Golden Crow and the big figures of those Immortal Great Sects, the Contest of the Imperial Son was now secondary.

After all, the strength of the participants still had a significant gap compared to the Emperor's Companion, so there wasn't much to see; they just needed to wait for the final results.

Who were they guarding against now?

Naturally, it was Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi.

Saint Xuan Yang had fought against both Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi, and they had both said they would definitely come to the Contest of the Imperial Son.

At this moment, on the high platform where the Three Saints of the Golden Crow were located, the Sect Masters of the ten Immortal Great Sects were all restless. They had no interest in watching the Contest of the Imperial Son and instead focused all their attention on the area a million miles around this sea region.

Mo Qi's renown goes without saying; several Sect Masters of Immortal Great Sects had heard stories from their elders about the battle thirty thousand years ago.

Mo Qi's terrifying power was such that even the Three Saints of the Golden Crow couldn't do anything to him, requiring the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm from the Inner Domain to suppress him. Such a formidable person, if they weren't foolish, they would know how difficult Mo Qi was to deal with and absolutely could not underestimate him.

And what about Shen Tianxing?

Even though there was a significant age difference between them, the things he had done were no less impressive than Mo Qi's!

Who dared to say they would sweep through the Five Domains?

And who could truly say it and then do it, actually sweeping through the Four Great Domains?

Would such a ruthless person not follow through on his words?

The Central Domain, as the Fifth Domain, was inherently the strongest, and Shen Tianxing leaving it until last to deal with was a very high possibility.

The Contest of the Imperial Son has now begun; will it be too long before Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi appear?

"Three Saints, there's no trace of Mo Qi and Shen Tianxing. Could it be..."

A Sect Master of an Immortal Great Sect spoke with a glimmer of hope.

"No!"

Saint Jin Yang directly suppressed the thoughts in these people's minds.

At their Realm, words spoken are witnessed by the Heavenly Dao; if not fulfilled, they will surely become a Heart Demon!

Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi were both unyielding, and they would absolutely not avoid appearing.

"Our people are already spread across ten million miles; it can be said that anyone who comes cannot hide."

"Either Mo Qi and Shen Tianxing haven't come, or they have already arrived, and our people, including ourselves, cannot discover them!"

Another big figure from a Great Sect said in a deep voice.

After much thought, there were actually only these two most likely possibilities.

"Damn it, do they really think we're afraid of them? If they dare to appear during the Contest of the Imperial Son, we'll make sure they never return!"

"Now that all the experts of the Five Domains are gathered here, even if Shen Tianxing has a dozen Immortal Realm experts, he is not invincible!"

Li Luo, the Sect Master of the Flying Immortal Sect, snorted coldly.

The longer time passed, the heavier the burden in their hearts became.

This was not just Li Luo's personal thought, but the same for all Cultivators of the Sects!

These two people were too formidable!

It was impossible not to be wary of them.

"Just wait. We have plenty of time. If Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi don't appear today, they will miss the Contest of the Imperial Son, and their desire to enter the Inner Domain will be completely dashed!"

Saint Fen Yang said with a sinister smile.

He was quite satisfied with this outcome; he would rather not confront Shen Tianxing and Mo Qi.

After all, if they really came, the threat to the Three Saints of the Golden Crow would be quite significant.

Saint Fen Yang was very self-aware; he knew his own strength was insufficient to resist, and there was even a risk of falling.

For the Sect Masters of the ten Immortal Great Sects, Saint Fen Yang's words were exactly what they wanted to hear.

They also didn't want to provoke such two powerful individuals for no reason.

Even if some big figures in their Sects had been eliminated by Shen Tianxing, they still didn't want to provoke him.

The difference in strength was too great; they couldn't afford to provoke him!

Just as all the big figures of the Sects secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, Saint Jin Yang, who had been silent for a long time and meditating alone, suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting forth with two divine lights, looking towards the distant sky.

"Saint Yang Saber Intent?"

"Mo Qi, you've finally revealed yourself!"

Buzz!!!

As soon as Saint Jin Yang's voice fell, a golden Saber Light suddenly appeared in the distant sky!

That golden Saber Light was like a heavenly chasm, spanning a million miles across the sky, severing heaven and earth with a single strike!

Across the vast sea, that golden Saber Light came too fast, too suddenly!

All the Cultivators watching the Contest of the Imperial Son here had no time to react, only feeling a golden flash in front of their eyes, followed by a stinging pain as if their eyes had gone blind.

Tears streamed down their faces, in agony, unable to see anything!

"Ah! My eyes!"

"What was that? It looks like... a Saber Light!"

"It's Mo Qi! The Saint has found him!"

Saint Jin Yang's face was withered, his hair and beard fluttered in the wind, and his eyes projected endless light as he faced it coldly.

That strike, spanning a million miles across the sky, was incredibly powerful, destroying everything in its path. It was likely that not a single creature in this ten-million-mile sea region would survive!

"Good, I've been waiting for you!"

Saint Jin Yang remained still, but a black shadow suddenly emerged from his body. That shadow floated upwards, reaching ten thousand feet tall!

Gradually, the shadow revealed its true form: a younger version of Saint Jin Yang.

The black Void Realm shadow waved its hands, and in the Void Realm, an invisible black Qi mass floated up. As the ten-thousand-foot black shadow waved its arms, the gigantic black light mass met the Saber Qi unleashed by Mo Qi, smashing towards it from mid-air!
