455: Bronze fragments, bet

Even the Immortal Venerables and magnates from the three major factions hadn't anticipated this scene.

Who is Jue Chen?

He is an undisputed leader-level existence in one of the factions, and his cultivation is even expected to reach the realm of a Grand Venerable.

Even if an Immortal Venerable duel were added, it would certainly not cause such a high-level figure to personally intervene; at most, he would dispatch his strong subordinates to participate.

But what was completely unexpected was that, as a faction leader, he actually took the initiative to challenge the young man who appeared to have no cultivation fluctuations.

Although the people around him had monopolized all the rewards earlier, this did not mean there was a strong individual among them who could contend with Jue Chen.

If it were said that the other party possessed Immortal Venerable cultivation, then they wouldn't be surprised; it would be impossible to cultivate so many strong individuals without some background and strength.

Ultimately, Jue Chen's prestige in their hearts was too deep, making them feel that no one could shake him.

Even the Grand White-Robed Venerable's expression shifted slightly as he looked between the two, but he did not speak to stop them.

He was also very curious about Lin Yan; according to his perception, the other party was definitely not a weakling, and was probably at an extremely high level even among Immortal Venerables.

Oh?

Lin Yan, the protagonist, was also a little surprised, then slowly stood up. Although he did not release any aura, his calm and unhurried demeanor secretly astonished many people, who looked at him with awe.

To be challenged, the black-clothed young man's strength must have also reached the Immortal Venerable level; it's just unknown who is stronger.

"Why did you specifically choose me?"

Lin Yan asked, somewhat puzzled and straightforward.

Hearing this, Jue Chen smiled faintly and, without beating around the bush, said frankly, "You have something I want!"

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. He quickly understood and said indifferently, "Are you talking about the bronze fragment?"

"Precisely!"

Jue Chen responded, his gaze fixed intently on the former.

After he finished speaking, amidst the gaze of all, he took out a bronze fragment about the size of a human head, which was considerably larger than the one in Lin Yan's hand.

Immediately, it attracted countless gazes. Even the leaders of the other two major factions had their eyes flash, secretly observing the bronze fragment that emitted a mysterious aura.

However, Jue Chen seemed completely unconcerned by the strange gazes of the two, his eyes tightly fixed on the slightly surprised Lin Yan.

After the other party took out this bronze fragment, Lin Yan seemed to understand something. He probably realized that the other party had sensed the two fragments on his person through that bronze fragment.

However, since the other party was after the bronze fragment, this challenge was naturally related to it.

Sure enough, Jue Chen made no attempt to hide the hint of fervor in his eyes and stated his true purpose. He continued:

"This item is very important to me. If Your Excellency is willing to part with it, I, Jue Chen, am willing to exchange it at any cost, but I wonder..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Yan, who shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Are you trying to use this as a wager and incidentally fight me?"

Jue Chen was slightly stunned, then quickly recovered, a faint smile always on his face, not denying it.

If the other party was willing to exchange, he could pay other costs; if not, then he would use this as a wager, believing that the other party would not be uninterested in the bronze fragment in his hand.

And that was precisely the case. Regarding these bronze fragments, Lin Yan had never deliberately searched for them; he let everything take its course.

But if he encountered them, he would not let them go. Since the other party had delivered the fragment to his doorstep, he would accept it without ceremony.

Thinking of this, he also chuckled softly, and with a single step, he arrived in the void, uttering a few words.

"This battle, I accept!"

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed deep in Jue Chen's eyes. With a movement of his figure, he arrived on the Jade Plaza. Azure light surged around him, and an extremely powerful pressure swept out like a storm.

Upon feeling this overwhelming pressure, all the strong individuals at the Myriad Immortals Assembly felt a chill in their hearts, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

Even the Immortal Venerable powerhouses of the Five Great Sacred Domains and the even stronger individuals within the three major factions all looked solemn.

Although this aura was not comparable to the Grand White-Robed Venerable, it was extremely close, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could truly ascend to the peak realm.

Feeling this powerful aura, which was immeasurably stronger than that of Immortal Revered Yu Long, a glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. Taking another step, he also arrived on the Jade Plaza, facing him from a distance.

The Grand White-Robed Venerable quietly watched the two and said nothing more. With a wave of his large hand, streams of spiritual energy continuously poured into the formation covering the battlefield.

This duel was bound to be earth-shattering. If the formation was not reinforced, the aftershocks might even affect the onlookers.

However, the formation above the plaza was incredibly solid, personally laid out by the Court Master. Under the propulsion of his spiritual energy, even he, a Grand Venerable, would find it difficult to break through.

Jue Chen's eyebrows slightly raised when he saw that the other party's expression did not change much after he released his aura.

It seemed that this opponent was no simple character. Thinking about it, it was not surprising; if he didn't have such ability, how could he cultivate so many powerhouses with formidable combat strength?

However, he still had full confidence in himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a leader of one of the three major factions of the Myriad Immortals Court.

Boom.

He lifted his right foot and stomped forward. Immediately, the space of the entire battlefield violently twisted before shattering with a roar, and an invisible fluctuation spread from beneath his feet.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

This scene caused all the strong individuals to gasp, their entire attention focused on the battlefield.

This was a rare opportunity for everyone to observe an Immortal Venerable powerhouse in action. Even if they couldn't see clearly, there was a slight chance to gain some insights from it.

Especially for those powerhouses whose cultivation had reached the Quasi-Immortal Exalted stage, the subtle Dao Rhymes emanating from an Immortal Venerable had an extremely important effect on their own cultivation.

Even if they could only grasp a little, it could greatly increase their chances of breaking through in the future.

Facing this terrifying fluctuation that arrived in an instant, Lin Yan merely flicked his finger, instantly shattering it into nothingness, with countless specks of light scattering across the field.

Seeing that this probing attack posed no threat to him, Jue Chen slowly composed himself, his expression becoming much more serious.

With a thought, a colossal hand, carrying boundless terrifying might, condensed from the sky and fiercely grabbed downwards towards Lin Yan.

The energy fluctuation contained within this spiritual energy hand caused even some mid-stage Immortal Venerable powerhouses in the Myriad Immortals Court to change their expressions, their minds surging.

If it were them facing this attack, they would undoubtedly be defeated in an instant, or even turn to ashes. It was clear that it had already reached the late-stage Immortal Venerable level.

Yet, even so, under everyone's gaze, Lin Yan calmly raised his finger and gently tapped the void in front of him.

The next moment, an incomparably vast giant light finger quietly formed, then tore through the void, heavily colliding with the spiritual energy hand.
