98: I'm number one because the very front position can only be for number one!

On the other side, Ao Linger had already held her breath, her amber vertical Dragon pupils staring fixedly at the center of the battlefield. She hadn't blinked for half a quarter-hour, fearing she might miss a single frame related to Xu Jinhuan.

The young girl's budding affection was vividly written all over her face, as if it were spelled out in words.

Seeing his sister's girlish demeanor, Ao Lietian gritted his teeth in anger and cursed inwardly.

"What an ungrateful girl. Linger, you've only known that bastard for a few days, and you're already worried about him?!"

The fine cabbage he had raised at home for over a decade was about to run off with a pig!

The key was that not long ago, this pig had even given the cabbage's brother a beating!

What a disaster!

"Hmm?"

Just as Ao Lietian's soul was momentarily Divided, a world-shaking change occurred on the other side.

Xu Jinhuan's eyes suddenly snapped open, and two brilliant beams of destructive light shot out from them. Within the beams, Yin and Yang Qi intertwined and flowed, surrounded by Chaos mist, as if containing the terrifying power from the dawn of creation.

Double Pupil Divine Light!

In an instant, those four heaven-shaking phenomena—enough to move even a Saint—were pierced straight through by these two destructive light beams like window paper, without encountering the slightest obstruction!

They were utterly powerless to fight back!

At the same time, Xu Jinhuan slowly raised his hand and slammed it down toward the Void Realm in front of him!

Boom!

Four deafening explosions rang out in succession as four sky-blotting purple Void Realm giant palms suddenly took shape. Like four purple mountains, they descended from the heavens, crashing down ruthlessly upon the heads of the four great Prodigies!

Void Great Hand Seal!

The expressions of the four great Prodigies changed drastically. They wanted to dodge, but found the space around them already locked by a terrifying force, leaving them completely unable to move.

They could only watch helplessly as the purple giant palms fell. The Divine Abilities they had unleashed shattered instantly. Not just their Divine Abilities, but even their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls were ruthlessly crushed by this terrifying power, suffering heavy injuries!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Four dull impact sounds echoed as the four great Prodigies fell heavily from high altitude like falling meteors, plunging into the desolate earth of the Supreme Palace.

Although the ground barely deformed, that was the most terrifying part.

Xu Jinhuan's world-destroying power had been precisely compressed to explode within their bodies. All the energy acted entirely upon them, causing every bone in their bodies to shatter inch by inch and their Meridians to snap.

Terrifying pain, like a tide, constantly assaulted their Divine Souls!

"Argh!!!"

The usually most pampered Young Lord of the Golden-Winged Great Peng actually screamed out loud. His voice was incredibly shrill, more piercing and resonant than a pig being slaughtered at a village entrance during New Year, making one's scalp tingle.

"No! Impossible!"

"How can you be so strong?! We also have special Physiques, we are also Prodigies, why is there such a terrifying gap between us?!"

Li Xuanyang lay on the ground, covered in blood, looking like a madman with a crazed expression.

He completely couldn't understand why he had lost, and lost so thoroughly.

All four of them possessed special Physiques rarely seen in ages, and all were top Prodigies of their respective races and factions.

To kill Xu Jinhuan, they had even cast aside their dignity as Prodigies to join forces in an ambush, yet even so, they were utterly crushed by the opponent like ants being ground to death!

"You... how can you be so strong?! We are all Prodigies, we all have top-tier Saint Bodies and Spiritual Roots, why is the gap between us so terrifying?!"

The Butian Saint Son's eyes were full of disbelief, as well as a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

"Among the three thousand Physiques, your Physique is ranked seventh because you truly are ranked seventh."

"I am different. I am ranked first because the topmost position can only be first."

"That is all."

Xu Jinhuan said indifferently, then extended a finger. Immeasurable power condensed within it and poured out.

In the next moment, the faces of the four great Prodigies changed wildly.

On that fingertip, a wisp of profound and mysterious Law quietly spread, flowing with an immortal luster that entered their sight.

That was a top-tier Law they had never seen or even heard of, transcending above the three thousand Great Daos, carrying the supreme aura of being the sole one in all worlds.

Eternal Law!

Transcending above, the sole one in all worlds!

This was a supreme Law that even Immortal King Realm experts could not fully comprehend. Let alone them being mere God King Realm Prodigies, even if a true Great Emperor or Immortal King were present, they might not be able to glimpse its full scope.

It was precisely this unidentifiable Law, which exuded extreme pressure, that brought infinite deathly pressure to the four great Prodigies.

Eternity was the ultimate goal that all cultivators spent their lives pursuing, the most beautiful aspiration in the world.

At this moment, to them, it was incredibly frightening and terrifying, because their life levels were too weak; they simply weren't qualified to bear this wisp of Law.

Within this wisp of Law lay great horror and great killing intent.

Just a tiny bit was enough to make them turn to ashes, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

At this moment, Xu Jinhuan's image in their eyes instantly rose by countless dimensions. A fear arose from the depths of their hearts, and their former pride ceased to exist.

Before this supreme Eternal Law, they deeply felt their own insignificance, as trivial as dust. The gap in life levels was like the difference between clouds and mud.

In this instant, the pride and confidence the four great Prodigies had cultivated through long-term victories were completely trampled to pieces by Xu Jinhuan!

It turned out that before this man, they weren't even as good as an ant.

He was too powerful!

So powerful it exceeded their cognition, so powerful it made them despair!

Recalling that Xu Jinhuan's cultivation was only at the Life and Death Realm, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh miserably.

He's only in the Life and Death Realm!

If he were allowed to grow to the Saint Realm, there would probably be no opponent beneath a Great Emperor, right?

No, perhaps he wouldn't even need to wait for the Saint Realm... The Eternal Law drifted gently, landing on the four of them.

Crack, crack... Crisp sounds of shattering rang out continuously. The massive amount of protective treasures on the four of them shattered like fragile glass under the crushing weight of the Eternal Law, rapidly turning into powder.

As descendants of Immortal Dao Lineages, they naturally carried numerous life-saving items sufficient to handle various desperate situations.

However, facing the absolute suppression of the Eternal Law, those so-called supreme treasures didn't even have a chance to be activated before they were annihilated one after another.

In just a few breaths, the four great Prodigies were already drenched in sweat, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, their eyes filled only with extreme terror.

Finally, Li Xuanyang gritted his teeth, and a majestic Emperor's Might suddenly erupted from his body!

That was the aura contained within the Emperor Weapon fragment in his body. Using this Emperor's Might, he barely managed to break free from the terrifying suppression of the Eternal Law.

Accompanied by the appearance of the Emperor's Might, Li Xuanyang's figure became illusory, and the space around him distorted violently, as if the entire world was rejecting his existence.

One era cannot produce two Great Emperors.

The Supreme Secret Cache also could not allow the appearance of other Emperor's Might; this was the self-defense mechanism of the Primordial Secret Cache.

If not for this, such a precious land would have long ago been carved up by those old monsters from the top-tier Dao Lineages.

"You with the surname Xu, this seat has remembered you! If I do not avenge this, I swear I am not human!"

Li Xuanyang gave Xu Jinhuan a venomous look, left this harsh remark, and his figure was forcibly teleported out of the Secret Cache space under the protection of the Emperor's Might.

The other three great Prodigies were a step weaker and were already too scared to speak. They could only glare fiercely at Xu Jinhuan before activating the Emperor Weapon fragments in their bodies to trigger the Emperor's Might, being pathetically teleported away under the rejection force of the Secret Cache.

On the spot.

Xu Jinhuan looked at the empty surroundings and was also somewhat speechless.

"I thought I could finally have a satisfying fight. I didn't expect they would still be a bunch of useless nobodies, unable to withstand a single blow."

He actually really wanted to properly verify his strength, because his Realm and power had improved far too quickly—so fast that even he was somewhat caught off guard.

If he didn't seize the chance to try now, he feared it wouldn't be long before he could no longer find an opponent who could make him go all out.

"Su Dongpo's line 'it is lonely at the top' is probably this kind of feeling..."

Suddenly, distant memories and knowledge entered Xu Jinhuan's mind in a strange manner.

Not far away, Ao Lietian, Luo Qingxian, and Feng Lingxi of the Divine Phoenix Clan, who had witnessed the entire process, were now completely speechless, their eyes filled only with shock.

They had never imagined that Xu Jinhuan could win.

Even less did they dare to think that Xu Jinhuan could win so cleanly and efficiently.

Complete suppression!

"How on earth did he do it? Why does he possess such terrifying means?!"

Luo Qingxian's pretty face was full of shock, her small cherry mouth hanging wide open, enough to fit an egg.

She prided herself on being well-informed, yet she had never seen such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy.

Being able to crush the God King Realm while in the Life and Death Realm simply defied all common sense in the cultivation world and completely refreshed her understanding!

"As expected of the man this palace has taken a fancy to, truly outstanding! I must find a way to sleep with him!"

Beside her, Feng Lingxi's eyes were shining, as if she were looking at a peerless treasure. The Divine Phoenix flames around her became restless, and she wished she could immediately fly over and pounce on Xu Jinhuan, cooking the rice before everyone's eyes.

However, catching a glimpse of her best friend Luo Qingxian's displeased expression from the corner of her eye, she ultimately suppressed the impulse and didn't dare to act recklessly.

Ao Lietian, who had fought Xu Jinhuan before, was now incredibly relieved.

"Fortunately, I was sensible enough to leave back then, otherwise my life would have really been lost to this bastard!"

"Linger, you really are your brother's lucky star. Brother will definitely find a way to rescue you and get you out of this pervert's control!"

Ao Lietian looked at Ao Linger in the distance, whose eyes were full of stars, and made a silent vow.

However, the person involved, Ao Linger, did not want to leave.

She looked down at herself, then looked toward that figure in snow-white clothes not far away, a sweet smile uncontrollably curling at the corners of her mouth.

Regarding her current situation, Ao Linger was actually quite satisfied.

Although she was a mount in name, she was only Xu Jinhuan's mount. She didn't have to be driven by others and was instead treated as a sister.

Moreover, the sisters here were all interesting and spoke nicely, and they could teach her many novel things she had never encountered, making her feel incredibly refreshed.

She really loved it here!

While Ao Linger was still immersed in shock, Xu Jinhuan had already returned to the side of the beauties.

With a gentle wave, Primordial Dao Rhyme spread out, instantly surrounding the many women.

"Alright, for the next three days, we will continue the sermon. Afterward, stay here and do not move around. I have seen a hidden place and will be back shortly."
