166: Dongri Tianjun

“The treasure chest is in my hands. Whoever wants it, come and get it yourself!”

Lin Yang held the Chaos Treasure Chest, looking down at the entire scene, and made such a statement. It was very direct and very forceful.

“You!”

Wei Dingfeng’s expression changed drastically. He only wanted to gauge Lin Yang’s strength for someone, but he never expected Lin Yang to be so forceful, leaving him in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place.

“Good, then I will represent the Fellow Daoists of the Upper Realm and request this item from Saint Lin Yang!”

After a quick thought, Wei Dingfeng still decided to make a move and not back down.

Otherwise, he would become a laughingstock.

“You can only represent yourself, not anyone else. Don’t portray yourself as if you are acting righteously; doing so will only make you more embarrassed later, and it will be of no use,” Lin Yang said indifferently.

“Who will be embarrassed is still uncertain!”

His Aura repeatedly suppressed by Lin Yang, Wei Dingfeng also became genuinely angry.

The next moment, he indeed stepped forward.

Although Wei Dingfeng acted arrogantly, he became very cautious when it was time to fight.

His body glowed, his skin emitted a faint golden light, and a metallic essence, imbued with electric arcs, burst forth from his flesh and blood, terrifyingly powerful.

Boom!

In an instant, Wei Dingfeng rushed out like lightning, aiming to win with speed and snatch the Chaos Treasure Chest from Lin Yang’s hand.

Lin Yang watched him indifferently.

Only when Wei Dingfeng was close did Lin Yang move.

He calmly struck out with a palm, but its speed was like a thunderclap, hitting forward like surging waves crashing against the shore.

Everyone felt as if a great wave was coming from the Void Realm, its momentum as astonishing as mountains collapsing and seas overturning.

“Ah…”

Immediately after, people heard Wei Dingfeng’s scream, a mournful wail.

He was sent flying back, spitting blood, and the sound of bones breaking could be faintly heard within his body.

“How is that possible!?”

Seeing this, everyone gasped.

As one of the Ten Great Geniuses, Wei Dingfeng’s reputation in the Lower Realm was only second to the four Flawless Prodigies.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to jump out at this moment, representing the Upper Realm Prodigies, to demand the treasure chest that flew out of the ancient palace from Lin Yang.

However, now, it was only a single exchange.

Wei Dingfeng was defeated and sent flying!

Everyone was stunned.

Did it end so quickly, right after it began?

With just one move, Wei Dingfeng, one of the Ten Great Geniuses, was defeated in front of everyone.

“You…”

Not far away, the fallen Wei Dingfeng shakily stood up, looking at Lin Yang with fear in his eyes.

The Holy Emperor Sect Saint, the number one person in the Lower Realm, truly lived up to his reputation.

No wonder even the Ji Imperial Clan’s innate Supreme had been defeated by him before.

“Your Excellency, do you still want the treasure chest?”

Lin Yang asked with a slight smile.

Wei Dingfeng’s face flushed red upon hearing this.

Want it?

Want what the hell?

He had been utterly humiliated this time.

Wei Dingfeng said nothing, turned, and tried to leave.

“Stop, did I tell you to leave?” Lin Yang said.

“What else do you want? I won’t contend for the treasure chest, that’s all!”

At this moment, Wei Dingfeng had already realized the gap between him and Lin Yang, and a sense of fear involuntarily arose in his heart, instinctively turning his gaze to Dongfang Xiang on the other side.

“Fellow Daoist, it is better to forgive when one can. You have already won, so there is no need to be aggressive.”

Seeing Wei Dingfeng’s pleading gaze, Dongfang Xiang pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke to Lin Yang.

Although the scene of Wei Dingfeng being defeated by Lin Yang in one move was shocking.

But as one of the four Flawless Prodigies, who couldn’t do such a thing?

Therefore, the palm strike that served as a display of power for others had little effect on Dongfang Xiang.

“You mean, he came looking for trouble with me first, and now I’m being aggressive?” Lin Yang sneered.

“Hehe, no matter what, Brother Wei has already conceded and retreated, so why does Your Excellency keep pursuing him?” Dongfang Xiang said with a faint smile.

“You protect him so much, did you send him to test me?”

Lin Yang looked at the other party, his voice cold, without any softening.

“The Ji Imperial Clan and my Dongfang Clan are old family friends.”

Neither denying nor admitting, Dongfang Xiang directly uttered this sentence.

Lin Yang’s eyes moved slightly, as if he understood something.

“You came to test me under Emperor Anlan’s orders?” Lin Yang asked.

Dongfang Xiang smiled faintly, not responding to the question, and continued in a calm tone:

“This generation of the Ji Imperial Clan was originally extraordinary, with an undefeated Double Pupil holder and an innate Supreme, envied by all sides.”

“However, when I emerged from my Dao Perfection, I heard the news that the two young Supremes of the Ji Imperial Clan had successively lost to a Lower Realm Prodigy, which was quite unbelievable.”

“At the same time, I am also very much looking forward to, and very much want to spar with the person who defeated them.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people were shaken, and then all showed strange expressions.

“You want to fight me?”

Lin Yang looked at the other party, his thick black hair gleaming, his robes fluttering, possessing an ethereal, otherworldly charm like an immortal banished from heaven.

This made many women present feel their hearts stir, their eyes shining.

However, in the eyes of more female Cultivators, Dongfang Xiang’s appeal was stronger.

There was no other reason.

It was simply because Dongfang Xiang came from the Upper Realm, had a profound background, and was himself a true Flawless Prodigy.

In heaven and on earth, among his peers, how many could contend with him?

“Indeed, I want to fight you. Do you dare to accept?”

Facing Lin Yang’s question, Dongfang Xiang nodded, and a red sun slowly rose behind him, making him appear as majestic as a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world.

“Alright, I’ll grant your wish!”

Lin Yang nodded, agreeing very readily.

Because he also wanted to find a worthy opponent to test the fruits of his Dao after Saint Offering.

Moreover, he had been away for too long.

So long that many people had almost forgotten him, and he indeed needed a battle to announce his return.

In an instant, the crowd became excited, and everyone’s gaze converged on the two of them simultaneously.

One was Dongfang Xiang, the East Sun Heavenly Lord, one of the four Flawless Prodigies currently enjoying the most prominence.

The other was Lin Yang, the strongest among the younger generation who dominated the Lower Realm before the Upper Realm Prodigies descended.

Such a confrontation between these two carried extraordinary significance.

To some extent, it represented the struggle between the Geniuses of the Upper and Lower Realms.

Who was stronger and who was weaker would likely be decided in this battle.

However, under the gaze of all.

Clearly, more attention was focused on Dongfang Xiang.

He stood in the air, looking down at the heroes, with a crimson sun on his back, exuding terrifying flames and an Aura of absolute dominance.

Under that mighty kingly power, some people’s Souls trembled, their bodies uncontrollably shivering, unable to resist the urge to prostrate themselves in worship.

In contrast, Lin Yang’s side seemed much calmer.

His delicate hair fluttered, his robes moved with the wind, appearing somewhat slender and serene, as peaceful and indifferent as if he were detached from the world.

Seeing this, many people already had a conclusion in their hearts.

In a battle of Prodigies, how could one win without a sharp edge?

Today, Lin Yang was destined to lose!

Even if he had once shone brightly in the Lower Realm for a period, revered by his peers.

But in front of the Flawless Prodigies of the Upper Realm, he was ultimately overshadowed.

He would soon become the stepping stone for the East Sun Heavenly Lord.
