389: Rubbish, how can you be qualified to bark?

Silence!

The entire world fell into a deathly silence.

It wasn't until this frozen atmosphere had lasted for a full dozen breaths that—Whoosh—

The next instant, the frozen crowd suddenly snapped back to reality.

As if struck by a meteorite, endless waves of sound erupted instantly.

Everyone's mouths hung wide open, gasps of astonishment and sharp intakes of breath rising one after another!

Whether they knew the situation or not, everyone was dumbfounded at this moment!

Some among them had heard rumors about Emperor Shitian, but they didn't know many of the specifics.

Now that it had been exposed, they suddenly realized that Emperor Shitian's strength far exceeded their imagination!

"Lord Emperor Shitian is the eternal god!"

"These glorious deeds are simply too powerful! Just picking any one of them out would be enough to dazzle throughout the ages!"

"It seems that not long ago, Lord Emperor Shitian's cultivation was only at the third level of the Saint Lord Realm. How long has it been? He's actually reached a Breakthrough to the fourth level of the Saint Lord Realm!"

"No wonder Lord Emperor Shitian is the head of our younger generation in the Heavenly Domain; I previously thought there was some exaggeration! Today, I am completely convinced!"

"I heard that an incredible figure has also appeared in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, the successor of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone, named Kong Wudao!"

"I previously thought that this guy Kong Wudao could compete with Lord Emperor Shitian, but now it seems there is absolutely no comparison between the two!"

"..." The heated discussions rose and fell, and even many of the older generation powerhouses watching from the sidelines were somewhat stunned.

After coming to their senses, they all revealed bitter expressions.

They had originally hoped that the juniors behind them would be able to contend with Emperor Shitian at the Divine Dao Academy to some extent.

Now it seems... they really were overthinking it!

The other Prodigies who made it onto the sequence ranking also looked very displeased at this moment. Their complexions even appeared somewhat dejected.

However, from another direction, Kong Wudao, who had been watching this scene the whole time, also had a look of shock, appearing extremely incredulous.

Don't misunderstand.

He wasn't shocked by Emperor Shitian's "dazzling" panel information.

He was shocked that such Aptitude could already be considered unparalleled throughout the ages in the Extraterritorial Land?

If he remembered correctly, Nangong Xinyue had opened up a full forty-eight Cave Heavens at the Cave Heaven Realm.

As for himself, he had opened up a full seventy-two Cave Heavens at the Cave Heaven Realm. At the God King Realm, he had condensed thirteen God King Dharmakayas.

At the Saint Realm, he had also achieved a truly unprecedented transcendent Saint.

For some reason, the hot-blooded feeling in his heart suddenly faded by more than half. He was even inexplicably somewhat annoyed.

He had been looking forward to this for so long.

He had thought the so-called protagonist of the Heavenly Mandate Era would bring him an extraordinary experience. And this is it?

Regarding this, the System, which had been watching the show the whole time, was somewhat speechless.

It seems its host is either excessively low-key, or from beginning to end, has never had a clear understanding of his own talent and Aptitude.

Thinking of this, the System suddenly felt somewhat helpless again.

It really didn't know why their System Ancestor God wanted it to bind with such a Prodigy who was terrifyingly unbelievable in every aspect.

Even after many hacks and upgrades, it seemed it could only play a role of icing on the cake for its host.

A figure like Kong Wudao, even without Systems like them, would still achieve an extremely terrifying Realm in the future.

...

Kong Wudao didn't know what the System was thinking, and instead, his mind turned to contemplate another matter.

He, and the Extraterritorial Land, seemed to have severely underestimated the true strength of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

According to the intelligence he had obtained, those super ancient forces in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens had not yet fully awakened.

These forces were truly related to Immortals, and had produced quite a few True Immortals in history.

The ancient successors of these forces would only be even more terrifying. But why had these super ancient forces been so quiet for so many years?

But he suddenly thought of something, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. That makes sense, too.

The Myriad Domains of the Heavens had their Sixteen Forbidden Zones, and on top of that, even he himself didn't know how deep the foundation of his own Forbidden Zone was.

With Sixteen Forbidden Zones suppressing the current world and dominating the heavens, even those super ancient forces probably wouldn't dare to show their faces too much.

"I had originally thought I could fulfill my dream of finding a decent opponent in the Extraterritorial Land..."

"It seems that in the end, if I want to fulfill this dream, after going around in circles, I still have to return to the Myriad Domains of the Heavens..."

Just as Kong Wudao was whispering in his heart, a strange man's voice filled with playfulness and mockery suddenly rang out.

"Burial Dao, why do I feel like your expression has been off the whole time?"

"Could it be that you were completely stunned by the powerful talent and potential displayed by Emperor Shitian?"

An Wushen, who was strolling over from not far away, had a faint smile on his lips. Those long, narrow eyes that were always squinted were now flickering with a playful light.

Almost the moment his voice fell, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down by more than half.

Many Cultivators around stopped their discussions and cast their gazes toward Kong Wudao.

Among them were also many playful and mocking gazes. After all, many major events that had occurred recently were related to Kong Wudao.

Invisibly, the name Burial Dao had already taken root in people's hearts. Furthermore, everyone knew that Kong Wudao and Emperor Shitian regarded each other as opponents.

Now that the Divine Dao Academy had officially opened, it also meant their confrontation had officially begun. Today's manifestation of the ranking list was the first invisible confrontation between the two.

The general information about Emperor Shitian that had just appeared on the divine dao mirror was immensely shocking. They couldn't imagine that Kong Wudao and Emperor Shitian were even comparable.

"Burial Dao, I know you have a few tricks up your sleeve."

"But, since even I am inferior to Emperor Shitian in terms of talent, potential, and strength, let alone you."

An Wushen stood not far from Kong Wudao, mocking him without any hesitation.

After all, from Kong Wudao's own perspective just now, he had been contemplating various things and unconsciously revealing various expressions, but in the eyes of An Wushen and others,

it was that Kong Wudao had been too severely impacted by the terrifying talent displayed by Emperor Shitian, causing problems with his spirit and Dao Heart.

Kong Wudao, who had instantly seen through the other party's thoughts just by the look in their eyes, sneered in his heart.

With his hands behind his back, he didn't even glance at An Wushen and walked toward the divine platform to receive the baptism of divine light.

As he passed by An Wushen, his voice was playful and filled with a certain high-and-mighty disdain.

"I think you have never understood your own position from beginning to end."

"You are clearly trash among trash."

"What qualifications do you have to bark at me?"
