419: I don't think so

But it's not a big problem.

Whether Zhuang Hao defeated all fellow disciples competing for the Holy Son position, or if a group of fellow disciples ganged up on Zhuang Hao, Lu Chen didn't care.

Because he alone could gang up on all of them.

“This Zhuang Hao, who once competed with Zhao Yujing for the Holy Son position, is as arrogant as ever!” an Elder shook his head helplessly.

“Although he is a bit arrogant, he certainly has the ability to be arrogant. He has cultivated the Immortal Embryo, broken the limit of Nine Dharma Aspects, and is now about to break into the Ascension Realm. If Shang Tianqi, Lingxu Valley, and others don't join forces, they simply don't have the qualifications to fight him.” another Elder said.

“I just don't know why he specifically excluded Lu Chen. Could it be that in his opinion, Lu Chen in the Faxiang Realm is even stronger than these True Disciples who are about to ascend?”

Some Elders were puzzled, but they couldn't get an answer.

Almost at the same moment Zhuang Hao spoke, Shang Tianqi, Lingxu Valley, Nangong Yan, Ji Qianqiu, and the other four all fell into a brief silence.

“Zhuang Hao!” Shang Tianqi's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

A name carries weight.

The name Zhuang Hao carries too much pressure. Although he is thousands of years younger than him, this is a true Heavenly Pride who cultivated the Immortal Embryo, broke the limit of Nine Dharma Aspects, and even once competed with the current Holy Son Zhao Yujing for the Holy Son position.

They, cultivators who had cultivated for thousands of years just to barely achieve Nine Dharma Aspects, were far from comparable.

He is a truly extraordinary Peak Heavenly Pride. If he hadn't had his Dao Heart shattered by Zhao Yujing and hadn't stepped onto the Immortal Path, he would definitely be a name on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, at least ranking in the top fifteen of the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking.

“The competition for the Holy Son position originally shouldn't be about the many bullying the few, but since Senior apprentice-brother Zhuang is so confident, Nangong can only obey!” After just a moment of silence, Nangong Yan stepped into the air and lightly landed opposite Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao, however, didn't look at Nangong Yan and said, “The other two Junior Brothers, if you don't make a move now, you won't have another chance to defeat me.”

Ji Qianqiu and Lingxu Valley's hearts tightened simultaneously.

Zhuang Hao wasn't boasting. With his cultivation foundation, no matter how they fought, if the four of them faced him individually, they wouldn't have any chance of winning, because the gap was too, too big.

And just as Zhuang Hao said, their only chance of winning was for the four of them to join forces and gang up on Zhuang Hao.

Even then, the chance of winning was actually still not big.

At most, the chance of winning wouldn't exceed forty percent!

“Senior apprentice-brother Zhuang, please forgive us for offending you.” Ji Qianqiu and Lingxu Valley simultaneously flashed and landed opposite Zhuang Hao.

Only then did Zhuang Hao clap his hands and laugh, “Now, this is somewhat interesting.”

He waved his hand, “I'll give you a chance to attack. Of course, you only have this one chance.” By the end of his words, he was laughing loudly and lightly shouting, “Why aren't you attacking yet?”

'Arrogant.' Lingxu Valley coldly snorted in his heart. He was also a Peak expert who had cultivated the ultimate Nine Dharma Aspects, so how could he not have pride?

Zhuang Hao was strong, but he was too arrogant, too dismissive of them.

“Boom!”

Without any hesitation, from behind Lingxu Valley, Nine Dharma Aspects instantly appeared, layer upon layer. Within each layer, there was a mysterious and terrifying dharma aspect spirit presiding, seemingly looking down on all living beings.

“Boom!”

At the same moment, Ji Qianqiu, Shang Tianqi, and Nangong Yan also unleashed their respective Dharma Idols.

Instantly, four Nine Dharma Aspects and their dharma aspect spirits suppressed the sky, and terrifying pressure swept out, like a stellar storm.

If this place hadn't been a battlefield opened by an Immortal, just this one burst would have torn apart the star river, shattered it into dust, and flattened everything.

“Too strong, these four all have the aura of Ascension Realm!” Even the Elders exclaimed in admiration.

Because they were truly extraordinary. If there were no accidents, in the future, these four would all have a ninety percent chance of stepping into the Ascension Realm and becoming the true pillars of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion.

However, Zhuang Hao, who was suppressed in the center by the four great Nine Dharma Aspects and their dharma aspect spirits, at this moment, seemed only to be brushed by a gentle breeze, remaining completely still.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the four people's respective Nine Dharma Aspects and their dharma aspect spirits, and finally shook his head, “Thousands of years of cultivation, yet still not in the Ascension Realm. Four Junior Brothers, go and cultivate more!”

As his words fell, “Boom!”

Without the slightest warning, even more terrifying pressure erupted from Zhuang Hao's body, suddenly sweeping out.

One after another, shocking Dharma Idols rose from Zhuang Hao's body. One, five, ten, fifteen, Sixteen Dharma Aspects, dharma aspect spirits hung in the air, displaying supreme might, as if even an Immortal personally present would be suppressed by him.

That world-shaking power erupted, instantly like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, crushing everything in its path, destroying all the Nine Dharma Aspects and Nine dharma aspect spirits of Shang Tianqi, Lingxu Valley, Nangong Yan, and Ji Qianqiu.

Furthermore, these four who were already close to Ascension Realm didn't even have a chance to attack before being declared defeated.

They were all suppressed by Zhuang Hao's Sixteen Dharma Aspects and their dharma aspect spirits in the most domineering manner.

What is invincibility?

This, is invincibility!

“How, how can he be so strong?!” Lingxu Valley, who had previously thought Zhuang Hao was arrogant and overbearing, felt his heart pound violently, as if it was about to leap out of his throat.

Too strong, incredibly strong.

So strong that even he, a Peak expert of Nine Dharma Aspects, had no power to retaliate!

“Surpassing the limit of Nine Dharma Aspects, is it really, so unreasonable?”

Then, what did their Nine Dharma Aspects, which they cultivated by exhausting their effort and energy, even staying in the Faxiang Realm for thousands of years, count for?

Count for a joke?

At this moment, Shang Tianqi, Nangong Yan, and Ji Qianqiu all felt bitterness in their hearts!

It was laughable that they actually thought Zhuang Hao was arrogant. In reality, Zhuang Hao was already extremely humble.

Asking them to attack together, and even letting them display their Dharma Idols and dharma aspect spirits first, was just giving them some face!

Otherwise, once Zhuang Hao attacked first, they wouldn't even have the qualification to attack. They would be suppressed by Zhuang Hao's Sixteen Dharma Aspects to the point where they couldn't manifest their Dharma Idols!

The gap was too, too big!

This was just a competition between fellow disciples. If it were a life-and-death battle, the four of them would already be corpses.

“Whoosh!”

With a wave of Zhuang Hao's hand, a divine wind seemed to sweep through, instantly picking up Lingxu Valley and the other four whose Dao Hearts were shattered, and sending them flying far away.

Finally, a hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of Zhuang Hao's mouth, and he fixed his gaze on Lu Chen, “Junior Brother Lu, the Peak showdown between you and me has arrived!”

Zhao Yujing's designated Holy Son successor, huh!

Let me beat you up first before we talk.

The Holy Son position can be yours, but without this beating, it won't do.

“This Zhuang Hao is inhumanly strong, Junior Brother Lu, don't try to be brave. This Holy Son position will be yours sooner or later.” Ji Qianqiu, whose Dao Heart had just been shattered, hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Lu Chen.

He was both giving Lu Chen a heads-up and warning him not to care too much about victory or defeat.

Because Lu Chen's cultivation time was still too short, and he had cultivated 37 Dharma Forms, his journey had been smooth sailing. When had he ever suffered a setback? If he were defeated by Zhuang Hao's Sixteen Dharma Aspects at this moment, he might become unstable in his Dao Heart.

However, Lu Chen's gentle words responded to Ji Qianqiu, “Zhuang Hao is inhumanly strong? I don't think so.”

He smiled lightly and nodded at Ji Qianqiu, then waved his hand, and before his eyes, there was already a second Lu Chen.

Then, there was a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh...

The eleventh, the twelfth.

His main body remained motionless, while the other eleven Lu Chens had silently disappeared. When they reappeared, they had already surrounded Zhuang Hao.

At this moment, Lu Chen's gentle voice resounded in all directions, “Senior apprentice-brother Zhuang, please enlighten me.”
