Chapter 423: Top Four Divine Firmament Prodigies, “We Want To Beat Up 10 Of You!”
Chapter 423: Top Four Divine Firmament Prodigies, “We Want To Beat Up 10 Of You!”
The Middle Ground prodigies were all indignant.
They didn’t expect Princess Linglong to be angry with them over a mere group of Eastern Wilderness prodigies. Even the two great princes were implicated.
Princess Linglong had a very high status, and they did not dare to offend her.
Even so, this didn’t mean that they agreed with the situation.
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint muttered quietly, “Didn’t we just beat up a few Eastern Wilderness pieces of trash? They are so weak. Who else can they blame but themselves?”
Inside Jixia Academy, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies had always ranked at the bottom. Whether it was resources or backing, there was no way they could compare with the Middle Ground prodigies.
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies had no choice but to accept the fact that they would be bullied. Few of them managed to turn the tables.
They had lost fair and square on the Void Platform, and even Jixia Academy could not intervene.
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were fuming but helpless.
They had lost. There was nothing more to be said.
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint forced a smile. “My fellow Brothers and Sisters, let’s change the venue!”
“No way!”
Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were both enraged!
Their own Senior Brothers and Sisters had been bullied. How could they endure this insult?
The two of them charged up to the Void Platform and stood there proudly, staring coldly at those Middle Ground prodigies.
“What did you say? I dare you to say it again!” The Ninth Nine Sun Saint snorted. “They willingly sparred with us and were defeated. This only proves that they are weak!”
Although Zhang Yunxi and Princess Linglong had come together, they were only afraid of Princess Linglong and not the rest.
…
Fang Chang sneered. “Haha, very well! Let’s give it a try then! I want to see just how powerful the Middle Ground prodigies are!”
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint glanced at Fang Chang and sniggered. “Who are you? I don’t fight with nameless people!”
Fang Chang’s eyes turned as sharp as a knife. “I am a true disciple from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s 10th generation!”
The Middle Ground prodigies laughed uproariously!
“You are just a true disciple, yet you dare to challenge me?”
“Fool, don’t you know the meaning of death?”
“You are truly an ignorant fool!”
“Brother Nine Sun, teach him a good lesson!”
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint’s eyes darkened as a bloodthirsty aura radiated from his body.
An insignificant true disciple dared to challenge him, the Saint from the Nine Sun Sacred Ground!?
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint snorted. “Ignorant fool!”
He leaped onto the Void Platform as three blazing suns rose behind him, mighty and magnificent!
He could see that Fang Chang’s cultivation level was just at Late-Stage Nascent Soul.
As for the Ninth Nine Sun Saint, he was already at Peak-Stage Nascent Soul. It would be a piece of cake for him to deal with this Divine Firmament true disciple.
The Nine Sun Sacred Ground and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had never gotten along. They were always secretly competing and fighting with each other.
That was especially so since the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had killed a Nine Sun Sage with a single slash of his sword, which was a great embarrassment to the Nine Sun Sacred Ground.
The Nine Sun Sacred Ground did not dare to confront the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader officially. They could only stir trouble with the Divine Firmament Saints in Jixia Academy.
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint decided to teach Fang Chang a good lesson to recoup some of his sacred ground’s dignity!
He made the first move. Three blazing suns rose behind him, bringing with them a searing heat that seemed to incinerate everything around them.
The Nine Sun Sacred Ground’s Nine Sun Battle Imperial Sutra had the same origins as the Golden Crow Thearch’s Imperial Sutra of Sun.
The Ninth Nine Sun Saint was able to activate three suns even though he was just at Peak-Stage Nascent Soul. His innate talents were clearly extraordinary.
The three suns blazed in mid-air, exuding ferocious flames and terrifying heat energy.
Fang Chang remained unmoved. Lightning surrounded his body as a dazzling divine light surged to the sky.
A massive Qilin avatar appeared behind him, with five-element divine light swirling endlessly around it. Its aura was mighty and magnificent.
Roar!
The Qilin roared as it charged toward the three suns, carrying with it Five Elements Lightning.
Boom!
Divine light shot out everywhere, powerful and formidable!
The two of them were engulfed by boundless divine light, as terrifying shockwaves made the entire space shake and tremble.
Even the fabrics of space would have been shattered by the fearsome force if not for the protective array.
Feeling the aftershock of the attacks on the Void Platform, the Middle Ground prodigies were all secretly shocked.
How did this generation of Divine Firmament true disciples come to be so strong? He could match up to the Ninth Nine Sun Saint?
Standing by the side, Zhang Yunxi’s expression was calm as she looked over the crowd. Her gaze landed on the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint.
Zhang Yunxi spoke coldly. “You, come up here!”
The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint hollered, “You are asking for it!”
A silly girl was belittling him. How could he not be angry?
The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint’s aura erupted as he activated his massive tripod and used it to suppress Zhang Yunxi.
The tripod dazzled with silvery rays, making the massive tripod avatar look even more terrifying.
It was like a primordial divine mountain pressing down.
In order to protect his reputation, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was activating his supreme-grade Spirit artifact. He was going all out against Zhang Yunxi!
Zhang Yunxi’s eyes were as cold as snow. A divine light surrounded her as her aura became even more intense and terrifying.
Waves of dazzling golden Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning erupted from her body, charging into the air with a destructive force.
Lightning bolts shot out in all directions as if it was a Heavenly Tribulation!
A 10,000-feet White Tiger roared, making the fabrics of space vibrate so much that they started to disintegrate. The surrounding space started to collapse and become a pile of debris.
The White Tiger avatar was like a primordial divine beast that had descended on earth. It charged toward the massive tripod.
The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint felt the pressure increase substantially. His expression turned grave.
“Tripod Suppresses Sky and Earth!”
The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint hollered as he activated the massive tripod avatar toward the White Tiger avatar.
The massive tripod morphed into a white light and engulfed the White Tiger avatar.
The white light then solidified and trapped the White Tiger within the tripod.
Dazzling divine light swirled around the massive tripod, possessing an energetic and vibrant force. It kept shrinking as if it wanted to compress and squash the White Tiger inside into bits!
At the same time, the small tripod moved toward Zhang Yunxi. It was going to attempt the same thing!
Zhang Yunxi snorted. Metal Element Divine Lightning filled the sky and morphed into sharp, harsh lightning blades, shooting straight down.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere as the two sides clashed!
The small silver tripod was sent flying through the air by the Metal Element Mixed Divine Lightning. The remaining lightning headed straight for the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint, causing his body to shake violently!
Lightning flashed and danced, dazzling and spectacular!
In the blink of an eye, the Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was charred black from being electrocuted. His hair stood on end as he collapsed on the Void Platform.
…
The Middle Ground prodigies were full of disbelief. “How is this possible?”
The Seventh Sky Tripod Saint was very powerful. He could defeat even a Heavenly Venerable with his supreme-grade Spirit artifact!
How did he suffer defeat so quickly in Zhang Yunxi’s hands?
Meanwhile, the blazing three suns were finally suppressed by the Qilin.
Five Elements Divine Lightning erupted, spreading across the entire sky.
In the end, the three suns were shattered, and a figure fell from the sky, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.
It was the Ninth Nine Sun Saint. He was kicked right off the Void Platform by Fang Chang!
“What?”
The Middle Ground prodigies were shocked.
“The Ninth Nine Sun Saint also lost!?”
Were the 10th generation Divine Firmament true disciples that formidable?
Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang stood there on the Void Platform, looking down on the Middle Ground prodigies.
“Is this all the Middle Ground prodigies can do? Ha, so lousy!”
The Middle Ground prodigies were enraged. Had their dignity ever been so trampled before?
Two more prodigies rushed forward to stand coldly in front of those two.
They were the seventh generation Saints from the Nine Sun and Black Sky Sacred Grounds. They were both Peak-Stage Nascent Soul practitioners.
They exuded a dazzling divine light, and their aura was extremely powerful.
They were garbed from head to toe in supreme-grade Spirit artifacts. This greatly enhanced their battle prowess!
“Who are you to insult the dignity of the Middle Ground prodigies?”
The two seventh-generation Saints snorted. They activated their supreme-grade Spirit artifacts and attacked those two.
Down below, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies shouted.
“You are so shameless!”
“You failed to defeat us and so changed your gear!”
“And you are even wearing a full set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts just to fight a couple of juniors!”
Naturally, the Eastern Wilderness prodigies were enraged. They had been defeated by the Middle Ground prodigies earlier not because their abilities were lacking but only because of the disparity in their artifacts.
And now, these two Middle Ground prodigies were going to use the same method to fight Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang.
If they weren’t already injured, they would have charged forward to fight again!
The Middle Ground prodigies didn’t care. They couldn’t be bothered about those people. It was obvious that they didn’t think there was anything wrong with relying on their gear to gain an advantage!
Beams of dazzling divine light shot out of the supreme-grade Spirit artifacts. They radiated with a fearsome aura, causing the surrounding fabrics of space to shake and vibrate.
The Void Platform was instantly shrouded by endless divine light. It was so blinding that no one could see clearly.
The two seventh-generation Saints could see that Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang possessed extraordinary power. They had already practiced the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra to very high levels.
If they fought them the normal way, they might not be able to win. Luckily, they had bountiful resources. Most Heavenly Venerables might not even own a single supreme-grade Spirit artifact, but the two of them did.
The two seventh-generation Saints didn’t believe that they would not be able to subdue those two with their set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Sounds of explosion rang out on the Void Platform!
Dazzling divine light spread across the entire area, piercing into the fabrics of space.
A terrifying shockwave was created, exuding a spine-chilling aura. It was a fearsome battle.
The Middle Ground prodigies were very confident. Given their power and their full set of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts, it was enough to suppress all the other same-level Eastern Wilderness Saints.
It would be a piece of cake for them to defeat these two 10th generation kids.
Crash!
Crash!
…
Sounds of bodies colliding rang out.
Within the boundless light, two figures shot out and landed heavily on the ground. A large cloud of dust and dirt flew up.
“I knew it. How can prodigies from that barbaric land compare to Middle Ground?”
Some of the Saints sneered, thinking that they had won.
But after the dust settled, the Middle Ground prodigies were completely stunned.
“B-brothers… How… How is it that you two also lost!?”
The Middle Ground prodigies were totally thunderstruck. The two figures who had been sent flying out were the two seventh-generation Saints.
Even two seventh-generation Saints garbed in full sets of supreme-grade Spirit artifacts could not defeat them?
No way… How can that be… Impossible!
The two seventh-generation Saints crawled up from the ground, looking very wretched.
The Seventh Black Sky Saint’s eyes were bloodshot with tears. “Those two are so unethical! They used a Sage artifact to beat me. My face is all swollen!”
Half of the Seventh Black Sky Saint’s face was all swollen. His supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were dull and listless. They were as good as garbage!
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was likewise in tears. “They are so vicious! I… I was struck over 80 times! My teeth have fallen out!”
His supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were full of holes, and his two front teeth were missing.
The Middle Ground prodigies felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at those two. Even if they were to go up now, they would end up in the same dire state!
Zhang Yunting smiled. “First Senior Brother, you went a bit too far. How could you strike him over 80 times? Was that really necessary? We should still value peace and harmony above all.”
Upon hearing his words, the corners of the lips of the crowd couldn’t help twitching.
Go ahead and stop your Senior Brother then!
Talking about peace and harmony while smiling as you watch those Saints endure a beating.
Who the hell would believe you!?
You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
…
The light dissipated. Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang reappeared.
One held the Golden Phoenix Sacred Sword, while the other held the Domineering Dragon Spear.
The aura of those weapons was very formidable. They exuded the intense pressure of a Sage.
The Middle Ground prodigies’ eyes narrowed. They were indeed Sage artifacts!
No wonder the two seventh-generation Saints lost!
How could supreme-grade Spirit artifacts compete with Sage artifacts?
The Middle Ground prodigies asked, “You guys used Sage artifacts?”
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies sneered. “So what if they did?”
“You are just a bunch of poor losers. Go ahead and use your Sage artifacts, if you have any!”
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies mocked and ridiculed.
They were so pathetic and frustrated earlier. It felt so good to finally get back at them!
Looking at how those two Middle Ground prodigies appeared even more wretched than them now—it was a great feeling!
They deserved it! You were the ones who bullied us in the same manner earlier!
…
The Eastern Wilderness prodigies were also inwardly shocked. They didn’t expect these two to have Sage artifacts.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground managed to grow so rich over the past years?
The corners of the lips of the Middle Ground prodigies twitched wildly. That bunch of Eastern Wilderness prodigies was actually mocking them!
One of the more senior Saints took out two Sage artifacts and handed them to the two saints. “Use these Sage artifacts to teach them a good lesson! We cannot allow others to insult Middle Ground’s dignity!”
The Middle Ground sacred grounds were very wealthy. They also had Sage artifacts.
Nonetheless, Sage artifacts were very precious. They would usually only be given to Saints at the Soul Formation stage, and they had to be very exemplary practitioners.
Those senior Saints couldn’t bear to see Middle Ground’s dignity being trampled in this manner. As a result, they were willing to lend their Sage artifacts to those two seventh-generation Saints.
Grasping the Sage artifacts, the two seventh-generation Saints suddenly felt their confidence return. They felt able and mighty again.
“Everyone, don’t worry. We will teach them a good lesson!”
The two seventh-generation Saints charged forward with the Sage artifacts. They were going to recoup their losses!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Crash, crash, crash!
Before long, the two seventh-generation Saints… returned in the same manner, but their appearance was somewhat different.
Only half of the Seventh Black Sky Saint’s face was swollen earlier. Now, his entire face was puffed up. His whole head was as bloated as a pig’s!
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was even worse. All his front teeth had been knocked off.
Even with Sage artifacts, they were still unable to defeat Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang!
Naturally, after losing twice in a row and in front of so many people, the two seventh-generation Saints were nearly in tears.
Even the Eastern Wilderness prodigies couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for them.
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint lisped through the gap in his own teeth. “Hey buddy, is there really a need for this?
“You were willing to sacrifice your own teeth to match me?
“Both of us have missing teeth now, but you are missing more than me!
“You are too nice! I cannot accept your kindness!”
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint wanted to pretend to be grave and solemn, but he couldn’t resist sniggering.
When one had lost their front teeth, it was obvious for all to see.
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint’s face turned red from anger, but he could barely speak properly. “Sssjackssass!”
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint understood him perfectly, but he pretended to mishear. He replied sincerely, “Did you say Junior Sister? Yes!
“The one standing on that platform who defeated you is my Junior Sister!”
Splat!
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint vomited blood. No one knew whether it was from internal injuries or being overly angered.
…
The skies cleared again. Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang were enshrouded in lightning. They looked just like Gods of Lightning, peering down on the Middle Ground prodigies.
“Is this all the Middle Ground prodigies have? Just that? So lousy! Better send your Heavenly Venerables instead!”
Zhang Yunxi and Fang Chang had both consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. Their constitution and innate potential had increased to very high levels.
Their power was way above that of a normal prodigy.
Nascent Soul Middle Ground prodigies were of no threat to them at all!
The Middle Ground prodigies were enraged and snarled.
“Arrogant youngsters!”
“We will teach you a good lesson today. To fear and respect us!”
A senior saint from Middle Ground couldn’t sit still any longer. The Middle Ground prodigies’ reputation would be flushed down the drain if this continued!
10 figures stepped out. They were the senior Saints from the various sacred grounds. They were very powerful and already at Early-Stage Soul Formation.
The 10 of them together exuded an aura that was mind-blowing. Even the color of the sky started to change.
Waves of arrays spread out, shooting straight up to the clouds. The sun was blocked out, and the skies dimmed.
These senior Saints were all fuming. They were already activating their full power, ready to give those two a good thrashing!
“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, let me help you!”
Zhao Hao charged up. The blazing divine fire surrounding his body morphed into a crimson phoenix, which shrilled into the skies.
Zhang Yunting also stepped forward and formed a Green Dragon avatar to help Fang Chang and Zhang Yunxi.
The four top prodigies of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had now joined forces to battle the Middle Ground prodigies!
The 10 Middle Ground Heavenly Venerables were unmoved.
“So what if there’s another two of you? It’s useless!”
“Even if all the Eastern Wilderness prodigies joined forces, you will all be kicked off the Void Platform today!”
The 10 Heavenly Venerables were extremely arrogant. They were amongst the top practitioners in their respective sacred grounds!
Given their battle prowess, how could they possibly fail to defeat a few Nascent Soul juniors?
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Four voices hollered into the skies!
The four Divine Firmament prodigies didn’t waste time talking—terrifying lightning shot out of their bodies, transforming into a great sea of lightning! This was more than enough to signal their intention!
So what if their opponents were Heavenly Venerables?
Given their current power, they could easily thrash them all!
“Kill!”
The 10 Heavenly Venerables hollered coldly as terrifying avatars emerged.
The fabrics of space shattered, making many Nascent Soul cultivators shiver in fear.
The rage of a Heavenly Venerable was enough to turn the world upside down!
Fang Chang stepped forward first and shouted, “Divine Firmament Array Formation!”
Fang Chang’s Mighty Qilin avatar was the first to appear, followed by a White Tiger avatar, a Green Dragon avatar, and a Crimson Phoenix avatar.
The boundless avatars spread across the area, blocking out the entire sky. The whole region was engulfed in shadows.
Heavenly Tribulation clouds gathered, shimmering and exuding a destructive divine power. It was like this piece of earth was about to be utterly destroyed.
This was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Divine Firmament Sky Lightning Array. When supported by the four top Divine Firmament prodigies, its power was enough to defeat Heavenly Venerables!
Boom!
Lightning boomed and flashed!
The lightning clouds gathered above the Void Platform, radiating with a spine-chilling aura.
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint trembled. He now had an aversion to lightning. After all, he had been struck by lightning hundreds of times earlier during his fight.
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint lisped through the gap in his teeth, “Ssthiss sarrays ssformationss siss ssquitess ssfiercess!”
The Middle Ground prodigies, “???”
What the hell are you saying?
After losing most of his teeth, no one could understand his words.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Divine Firmament Saint stepped forward with a smile.
“I know! He said: This array formation is quite fierce!”
The Middle Ground and Eastern Wilderness prodigies, “???”
How did you manage to understand that?
Wow!
The Seventh Nine Sun Saint was also stunned.
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint turned around and smiled.
At that moment, the Seventh Nine Sun Saint’s heart warmed.
The Ninth Divine Firmament Saint and I have such good chemistry!
