Chapter 196: Chapter 138: Fame Spreads Far and Wide, Ten Thousand Powerhouses Descend Upon Xingyue

However, just when everyone thought this farce was about to finally draw to a close, it happened.

"Heh heh heh... ha ha ha."

A faint laughter echoed across the entire Celestial Sword Peak. The tone was filled with utter indifference, as if the speaker could not care less.

"For a youth to be crowned a Sealing King and single-handedly suppress the Celestial Sword... What an impressive display of prestige.

"It’s a pity, though. I’m afraid he won’t live to see the second stage of the Celestial Pride Hegemony. Having the talent to become a Saint doesn’t guarantee you have the destiny to live long enough to become one."

As the voice fell, in an instant—

BOOM!

An aura so terrifying that it made countless Cultivators pale in shock suddenly erupted. It cascaded from the peak of the Celestial Sword Peak’s Holy Court, sweeping across the entire Celestial Sword Sect’s Earth Realm before enveloping the figure in white.

Jiang Hao turned toward the sound, fixing his gaze on that stretch of heaven and earth. His robes and long hair whipped wildly in the wind, blown into a chaotic dance by the aura the other party released.

Deep within the Holy Court, amidst endless sealing power, sat a young man radiating a divine, saintly glow.

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes. An unfathomable aura of absolute dominance swept out—an ancient, unmatched presence that looked down upon the entire world.

Through the boundless Holy Court and the vast void, the two world-shocking youths confronted each other from afar. They stared at one another in total silence.

The moment that terrifying aura descended, many Cultivators in the Eastern Domain were startled, their expressions changing drastically.

"Chu Tiange?"

"The First Saint Son of the Eastern Domain Celestial Sword Sect, the Awakened of the Heavenly Tyrant Body, the peerless monster who is about to be sent to the main sect in the Central State for secluded cultivation—Chu Tiange!"

Evidently, many of the older generation in the Eastern Domain had heard this name before.

Rumor had it that during this current Celestial Pride Hegemony, the branch of the Celestial Sword Sect in the Eastern Domain had unprecedentedly produced two world-shocking Awakeneds with ultimate physiques and Divine-level Martial Souls. These two peerless monsters were none other than Chu Tiange, the First Saint Son of the Celestial Sword Sect branch who had awakened the Heavenly Tyrant Body, and Luo Lingxi, the First Saintess who had awakened the Profound Celestial Sacred Body.

These were the two terrifying youths currently sitting cross-legged within the Holy Court, cultivating the Celestial Sword Technique.

"It really is Chu Tiange! Is the one beside him Luo Lingxi? Were Master Cangchen and the countless Supreme Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect helping them shape the Celestial Sword Technique just now?"

"Chu Tiange and Luo Lingxi... two of the thirty-eight peerless monsters of the Eastern Domain, both invincible among their peers! Rumor has it they stand on equal footing with the current First Saint Sons and Saintesses of the eighteen ancient great clans, including the Immortal Race, Demon Race, Spirit Race, and Nether Race of the Eastern Domain."

"Chu Tiange? Luo Lingxi? Could they be the two candidates among the thirty-eight most likely to claim the top rank on the Eastern Domain’s Celestial Pride List?"

"That’s them! But what a shame. I heard they were selected by the main Celestial Sword Sect to head to the Central State for cultivation. I didn’t expect them to still be in the Eastern Domain."

"These two are genuine peerless figures born in our Eastern Domain. It’s just a pity they are currently in a sealed state. Otherwise, if either of them had intervened today, the Celestial Sword Sect would have definitely witnessed a pinnacle battle among the younger generation."

The moment countless Cultivators recognized the owner of that voice, the entire Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect erupted in a frenzy.

Even Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes. The terrifying fluctuations of aura radiating from the other party actually made him—even at his current level of strength—sense a trace of danger.

After speaking, Chu Tiange fell silent, continuing his silent standoff with the white-robed figure across the endless void. This single glance sealed their fate: a life-and-death battle between the two was inevitable in the future.

If the Celestial Sword Seven Sons were considered the ceiling of the Eastern Domain, then Chu Tiange and Luo Lingxi were the absolute zenith of the younger generation—an insurmountable mountain that the celestial prides of the world could hardly hope to shake.

However, due to the circumstances, the two could not fight today.

Taking one last profound look at the Celestial Sword Peak, Jiang Hao finally turned and stepped away from this realm. As the countless Cultivators watched the powerhouses of Nanling and the figure in white slowly retreat, their breathing grew heavy.

Time slowly slipped by.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past half month, it seemed as though everything had returned to peace. Yet, behind this calm lay an earth-shattering uproar.

"What did you say? One person swept through the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect alone, single-handedly suppressed the Celestial Sword Seven Sons, and forced the Celestial Sword Sect Leader to compromise in public?"

"Impossible! How could that be? The Celestial Sword Sect... that’s the Celestial Sword Sect we’re talking about!"

"A junior making the Celestial Sword Sect Leader compromise publicly? Brother, do you hear yourself? Who is the Celestial Sword Sect Leader? That is an ancient Saint of the ages!"

"What a ridiculous joke. You actually believe such an absurd fantasy? What kind of place is the Celestial Sword Sect? For a young celestial pride to even reach their mountain gate would be impressive enough, let alone suppressing them single-handedly."

"No youth titled as a Sealing King could possibly force the hand of a super Divine Sect. Do you really think the Celestial Sword Sect are just pushovers?"

"If such a person really exists, I admire him. Doesn’t this mean a fight to the death with the Celestial Sword Sect? Who has the audacity to challenge a Saint?"

"Brother, the news seems to be true. The top echelons of the older generation in the entire Eastern Domain are going crazy over it. Word has it that the newly advanced youth Sealing King titled Dong Hao really did fight his way into the Celestial Sword Sect."

"He didn’t just fight his way in. It’s said that he single-handedly wiped the floor with the Divine Sect’s entire younger generation. Even three of the Celestial Sword Seven Sons were crippled, their cultivation completely destroyed, while the other four were severely injured. And he did all this right in front of countless higher-ups of the Celestial Sword Sect!"

"What did you say? This... this... is... is it true?"

BOOM!

Countless figures across numerous regions felt as if they had been struck by lightning, utterly staggered by a bolt from the blue.

As time went on, the tales of the battle at the Celestial Sword Sect swept across the entire Eastern Domain like a violent hurricane.
