Chapter 824: Qualification
Crown Prince Tianxu was taken aback, evidently not expecting Yangg Wei to act so decisively. He was about to intervene, but at this moment, more than a dozen strands of Qi Mechanism had already locked onto him. These were the other strongest heavenly talents, ready to strike with thunderous force if he made a move.
It wasn't that they were outright enemies but they couldn't allow an unidentified person to sit among them, as it would disgrace their status.
This was due to their inherent pride.
At that very moment, Ye Chen also swept his sleeve, colliding with the opponent's attack.
Prince of Ancient Hua was about to sneer. Even though he hadn't used his full strength, his attack was not something the average person could withstand. Even the other strongest heavenly talents would need to approach it cautiously.
But soon, his smile faded away because, amidst the collision, there was none of the expected explosive burst. Instead, it silently dissipated, appearing so ordinary that he was stunned.
Ye Chen glanced at Yangg Wei and said, "Go back. I don't want to fight you or invite trouble."
His words were very calm, yet made the expression of Prince of Ancient Hua look quite unpleasant.
Who was he? A prince of one of the Nine Great Empires, one of the strongest heavenly talents of the age, undoubtedly powerful. Across the world, those who could match him were figures standing on the pinnacle ladder of the young generation.
But now, just someone accompanying the rival Crown Prince Tianxu could challenge him like this, was simply an enormous disgrace.
Others were also quite curious about who this mysterious person was, to be so formidable, yet they had never heard of his existence before.
In Chongxiao Tower, other dynasty princes and strongest heavenly talents all gazed over, like a multitude of divinities, sweeping their gaze toward Ye Chen, all displaying flashes of surprise.
They certainly never expected Ye Chen to be so strong, completely beyond expectations.
Creeping fear flowed down from above, covering the whole Chongxiao Tower.
Under this terrifying aura, countless young members of the generation were struck with fear, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts, feeling thoroughly oppressed and suffocated.
The strength of the dozen most powerful heavenly talents was so terrifying that it was enough to chill the hearts of numerous young figures who intended to impress at the pinnacle gala, making them lose resolve and dare not face it directly.
Too terrifying.
All the young talents outside Chongxiao Tower shivered.
Yet, facing the gazes of the dozen strongest heavenly talents, Ye Chen remained unscathed, standing there, ignoring the oppressive aura of all the heavenly talents, unmoved.
Even Prince of Ancient Hua was amazed. That previous strike was just a casual one, the fact that someone could withstand it was just slightly surprising, but to remain unfazed under the pressures of the dozen strongest heavenly talents was indeed remarkable.
Who exactly was this person? Where did Crown Prince Tianxu find such a strong helper, comparable to him? Could it be another hidden most powerful heavenly talent?
After all, among the Nine Great Empires on Ancient God Continent, there also existed the Ancient Divine Palace, such a supreme force secretly.
It was only natural for one or two strongest heavenly talents to not have emerged yet, they wouldn't be overly surprised.
"Another most powerful heavenly talent? Skipping the trials of the Trial World? Want to join the final most powerful battle? Humph, how could it be so easy, even the strongest heavenly talent should be taught a lesson."
Above Chongxiao Tower, a dynasty prince squinted his eyes, looking far more dangerous.
"Indeed, we have gone through countless dangerous trials in the Trial World, and now this person suddenly appears, wanting to enjoy the fruits without effort, how can we allow this? He should be taught a lesson." Another strongest heavenly talent spoke up.
Nobody was willing to allow a heavenly talent to emerge and disrupt the proceedings, even a most powerful heavenly talent mustn't.
Almost simultaneously, twelve strongest heavenly talents released an even more formidable and terrifying aura than before, rumbling down, intentionally falling upon Ye Chen.
Facing this gathered terrifying force, even top-tier young talents like Crown Prince Tianxu and Prince of Ancient Hua's faces changed dramatically. Threads of it spread out of Chongxiao Tower, further suppressing the younger generation, leaving them immobile and breathless.
Crown Prince Tianxu wanted to act, but Ye Chen stopped him, just standing there with a calm expression, allowing the powerful and frightening aura to prevail, yet remaining unshaken himself, like a rock resisting the storm, unmovable.
This scene once again shocked the young talents, unsure of who Ye Chen was, how he could withstand the overwhelming presence of the pinnacle young successors time and time again.
Ye Chen raised his gaze and exchanged a look with the powerful group, his eyes flashing indistinctly as if sparks were rising, but soon became restrained and deep, unwilling to act prematurely and alert the enemy.
Currently, overpowering the young talents was a mere effortless task, demonstrating his terrifying and unparalleled cultivation, more so his profound comprehension of the Dao, surpassing peers, even surpassing the Saint's power in the Daoist Realm.
Yet he was unwilling to act prematurely because he had no intention to fight, nor interfere.
"Good, another mysterious strongest heavenly talent? You've withstood our pressure, naturally passing the test and gaining qualification."
They could reserve their aura, although there hadn't been an actual fight, Ye Chen stood alone enduring their pressure, worthy of their focus regardless of whether he accomplished it through his own strength or other Secret Treasure.
Prince of Ancient Hua snorted coldly, evidently displeased.
Ye Chen glanced at Prince of Ancient Hua, saying indifferently, "You still wish to make a move now?"
Prince of Ancient Hua, though enraged, acknowledged the undeniable strength displayed by Ye Chen, comparably powerful and intimidating as himself and Crown Prince Tianxu, not to be underestimated.
Ultimately, he waved his sleeve and snorted coldly, "Kid, today I'll let this go for Crown Prince Tianxu's sake."
Though he spoke like this, it was clear to all that this time around, Prince of Ancient Hua was helpless against Ye Chen.
This time, Ye Chen sat down safely, and no one dared utter another word.
The eyes of the strongest heavenly talents now carried an additional hint of dread.
Dong——
Half a day later, a loud bell tolled gradually throughout this realm, deep and resonant, originating from the Ancient Divine Palace.
At this moment, all eyes turned towards the direction of the Ancient Divine Palace.
Bang——
A Sky-reaching Divine Light descended from the nine heavens, entering the Ancient Divine Palace.
Then, within the grand Ancient Divine Palace, the previously tightly closed jade doors slowly opened, revealing a figure before the world!
