Eternal Holy Emperor

Due to the young generation's war for dominance, the Ancient God City has drawn numerous cultivators from various places, making the city even more crowded and bustling. The streets are abuzz with discussions, all revolving around this battle for supremacy and predicting the hot contenders for the final crown.

Naturally, the Crown Princes of the Nine Great Empires are the majority.

The appearance of the royal divine ship of the Tianxu Dynasty has caught the attention of all sides, standing out conspicuously amidst the vast Ancient God City.

After all, it is one of the Nine Great Empires, and its Crown Prince is one of the strongest prodigies of the young generation.

Swish—

At this moment, a figure swiftly flew from the central area of the city, crossing ten miles in an instant, and landed directly on the divine ship.

He was a handsome young man, wearing a divine armor, surrounded by radiant light, looking heroic and spirited, with an extraordinary demeanor, easily perceived as a dragon among men, drawing the attention of a large part of the city.

It was easy to guess that this elegant young man was none other than Crown Prince Tianxu, one of the strongest prodigies on the Ancient God Continent!

Crown Prince Tianxu directly ascended the royal divine ship, quickly walked to Emperor Tianxu, kneeled on one knee, and respectfully performed a grand salute: "Son Li Xu pays respects to Father Emperor. I have come late, please forgive me, Father Emperor."

"Good, good, Xu'er, rise quickly!"

Emperor Tianxu laughed heartily, immensely pleased with a dragon-like face.

Though in terms of cultivation and aptitude, Crown Prince Tianxu could not surpass the Combat Saint King, he was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding prodigies in the history of the Emperor Dynasty. Within less than a hundred years of cultivation, he had reached the Saintly Treasure Realm at such a young age, truly remarkable, being the future hope of the Imperial Dynasty.

Other powerful figures of the Tianxu Dynasty were also quite pleased. The stronger the Crown Prince, the better he could lead the Dynasty into a more powerful future.

Crown Prince Tianxu greeted each imperial uncle ceremoniously one by one, showing no slackness, earning unanimous admiration from the royal family high officials.

However, upon seeing Ye Chen standing beside the Emperor, he immediately displayed a trace of surprise and some doubt, asking, "May I dare ask, who are you?"

The Emperor was about to reprimand but Ye Chen responded with a smile, "My name is Ye Chen, but you may also call me the Combat Saint King."

"It's you!"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Tianxu's expression slightly changed, and a powerful war intent erupted from his body, boiling and causing an upheaval in the void, pointing at Ye Chen.

Because the Combat Saint King before him was also of the young generation, and reputed to be powerful, capable of slaying Saints.

Such a super expert of the same generation naturally stirred his fighting spirit, making him eager to challenge and compete, to see who was superior.

But this move terrified many powerful figures of the Imperial Dynasty, including the Emperor, fearing to provoke the Combat Saint King.

"Combat Saint King, please do not take offense. The Crown Prince has been in the Trial World recently for training, completely unaware of what has transpired outside." The Emperor and other high-ranking officials hurriedly explained, worried that the Combat Saint King would get angry and kill the Crown Prince who dared to challenge him, which would make them cry.

Actually, Crown Prince Tianxu couldn't be blamed for this ignorance about Ye Chen's slaying of a Saint Lord or the glorious record of causing trouble with the Ancient Hua Dynasty and resisting the Three Great Imperial Dynasties.

During that period, he and other Emperor Dynasty princes and prodigies from the Ancient God Continent were taken into a Trial World for training, unaware of outside news.

Just coming out not long ago, he hadn't grasped the outside situation and naturally didn't know Ye Chen's real combat power, just knowing that he belonged to the young generation, hence wanting a duel.

Ye Chen merely smiled and said, "You need not worry, I won't get angry over this, and the Prince's behavior is normal though. Just wanting to spar, which is quite usual."

Hearing this, the Emperor and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Crown Prince Tianxu, watching from the side, was a bit dumbfounded.

This Combat Saint King, what manner of figure is he to inspire such caution among the entire imperial family?

He was a sharp person, understanding many things after a brief thought, realizing that even the Emperor feared this person, indicating the Combat Saint King must be extraordinary, yet it only further fueled his fighting spirit.

Because he believed that no matter how powerful the Combat Saint King was, he wouldn't be immensely superior to him, and a duel could determine superiority.

"I hope to have a duel with you after the competition." Crown Prince Tianxu straightforwardly issued another challenge.

But the Emperor reprimanded, "Xu'er, be courteous. How could you challenge the Combat Saint King? Please, Saint King, don't take it to heart."

Crown Prince Tianxu was stunned, what does this mean?

But he could clearly see that everyone, including his father, harbored significant respect for Ye Chen, an innate reverence, not feigned.

Clearly, the Combat Saint King's strength far exceeded his expectations; otherwise, how could he cause such apprehension within his vast Everlasting Imperial Dynasty?

"Very well." Yet surprisingly, Ye Chen agreed, leaving everyone dumbstruck, then he continued, "No need to wait till after the competition; a duel now isn't unfair, you can have a match now."

Crown Prince Tianxu was slightly startled, but then shook his head, "No, this is, after all, the divine ship of my Tianxu Dynasty. A duel between you and me could easily damage the ship, and it would also deplete my spiritual energy, which would be detrimental to the upcoming final battle for supremacy."

In his understanding, any battle between him and the Combat Saint King would be intensely fierce, possibly no less than competing with other Dynastic Princes, which would severely deplete his spiritual energy.

Facing the last great battle, he needed to remain in peak state and couldn't engage in a duel.

But Ye Chen said, "Rest assured, this match will end quickly, it won't deplete much of your spiritual energy."

Before Crown Prince Tianxu could speak, Emperor Tianxu and others urged him to accept quickly.

They understood well that this wasn't a contest on the same level; the gap was too vast, and it would indeed end swiftly.

Reluctantly, Crown Prince Tianxu said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's both do our best to make it quick."

"As it should be, please proceed!" Ye Chen said.

Boom—

Immediately, a tremendously strong Saintly Might burst forth from Crown Prince Tianxu, standing at the peak of the Saintly Treasure Second Layer Heaven. Such cultivation, not merely in the Ancient God Continent but even across the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, could be considered as excellent, not inferior to many young kings.

No wonder he possessed such self-assuredness.

Almost simultaneously to Crown Prince Tianxu erupting, array patterns on the royal divine ship flickered, isolating the void, preventing outsiders from witnessing the battle.

It was to preserve the Crown Prince's true combat power.

"Combat Saint King, please enlighten me!" Crown Prince Tianxu suddenly made his move!
