Chapter 560: Chapter 508: Challenge 30 Updates

Before Heavenly Gate Mountain, there was a sea of people.

Even the disciples and elders of Heavenly Gate had never anticipated that this younger generation’s challenge would attract so many spectators.

Among them were numerous leaders and elders of Great Sects, Ancient Kingdom Dynasties, and other significant powers.

Even a considerable number of Immortal Forces had elders and renowned figures arriving in chariots, standing above the void, not subject to the helpless congestion below, appearing much more comfortable.

All of this left the faces of those from Heavenly Gate looking ugly, obviously displeased. This was clearly a deliberate act by the others, intentional spreading the word, making the world witness Heavenly Gate’s embarrassment.

In the early morning, as the rising sun climbed slowly, the first rays of dawn broke through the vast sky, casting light upon Heavenly Gate Capital Peak. At this time, the entrance of Heavenly Gate was already boiling with excitement, packed with dense crowds of at least a million people, creating an unprecedented level of noise.

Moreover, even at this time, several renowned and mighty figures arrived in their respective vehicles across the void, including Saints and even real Saint Lords, exuding overwhelming presence, occupying a space in the void, deterring many cultivators from approaching too close.

This challenge of the Five Immortal Forces against the younger generation of Heavenly Gate was indeed a spectacle drawing attention from the grandest of stages, an event causing unprecedented sensation.

Finally, the Divine Ships of the Five Immortal Forces appeared, descending slowly to one side of the Martial Arts Arena. From each Divine Ship, a number of exceptionally young elites emerged, few in number but all very powerful.

In particular, four among them stood out extraordinarily, emanating exceptionally powerful auras, displaying an unparalleled sovereign demeanor as if standing eternally like monarchs, garnering respectful glances from other young disciples.

Clearly, these were the young rulers from the Immortal Forces, and the young ruler from Red God Valley had already been slain by Ye Chen.

Nonetheless, Red God Valley also had mighty young Heavenly Prides, and while not quite reaching the stature of true rulers, they were certainly extraordinary.

Obviously, these were the genuine elite talents, and one could even say they were the most distinguished among this generation of the Five Immortal Forces, quite remarkable indeed.

From this, it could be inferred that to utterly discredit Heavenly Gate, the Five Immortal Forces had sent their best elites, even including ruler-level figures.

Heavenly Gate faced a grave situation this time.

At the entrance of Heavenly Gate, many of its disciples had also gathered, each a true young talent with outstanding demeanor, undoubtedly chosen from a million when seen in the outside world.

It was just unfortunate that most were still in their growth phase, not fully cultivated, and now, facing the young elites of the Five Immortal Forces, many wore troubled expressions.

Naturally, it was the same for the elders who had stepped out from Heavenly Gate; seeing so many outsiders, they felt an impending humiliation and looked angrily at the people of the Five Immortal Forces.

At this moment, a young elite descended from the Divine Ship of Red God Valley, landing on the Martial Arts Arena, cupped his hands towards the host of Heavenly Gate, and said with a slight smile, "Yang Qi of Red God Valley hereby challenges the esteemed elite cultivators of Heavenly Gate. May I ask, who dares to come forth for battle?"

As his words reached their conclusion, the arrogance in his voice multiplied considerably, clearly not taking the disciples of Heavenly Gate seriously, sparking an uproar.

The disciples of Heavenly Gate were furious, the eyes of the elders turned frosty, directing a cold gaze at this Yang Qi from Red God Valley, but their expressions also showed gravity.

For they could see that this Yang Qi was mighty, at least a young elite who could claim dominion in the Divinity Transformation Fifth Layer Heaven. It was unexpected that Red God Valley would play a serious hand from the start, bringing forth such a powerful young Super Expert, causing alarm.

"Yang Qi, could it be that Yang Qi, the brother of the Red-scaled King?"

Upon recognizing Yang Qi, many instantly knew his identity as the brother of the fallen king of Red God Valley, the Red-scaled King. Equally blessed with extraordinary talent, though never having claimed the title of king, it was rumored that he too was a young Marquis among the heavens’ favored.

"It’s said that Yang Qi is so powerful he’s ranked among the top hundred in the Ten Thousand Domains Marquis List."

The surprise was palpable among the crowd.

The threshold for becoming a Marquis, much like that of being crowned a king, didn’t depend on one’s realm but rather was determined by true strength within that realm.

Only those at the peak level of their tier could be conferred the title of Marquis.

With the tumultuous commencement of the Human Emperor’s battle for supremacy, some well-intentioned individuals, together with forces possessing terrifying backgrounds, created two major lists within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms: the Marquis List and the King List, intended to rank the power of the world’s Marquises and Kings.

Furthermore, this ranking was often recognized as authoritative, acknowledged by the whole world.

The Marquis List had three thousand names. Given the vast expanse of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, where each Great Domain spanned billions of miles, replete with countless races and endless beings, it was natural that there would be an extreme multitude of strong Marquis-level warriors.

To be listed on the Marquis List was an acknowledgment of one’s strength, and to be ranked in the top hundred of the Marquis List spoke volumes about Yang Qi’s true power.

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of many Heavenly Gate Disciples became solemn. Despite finding Yang Qi’s words arrogant, the young Marquis ranked within the top hundred on the Marquis List was enough to make many change color, as he was a famously formidable Super Expert just below the kings.

Inside Heavenly Gate, how many would be capable of handling such a terrifying figure?

Although the faces of the Heavenly Gate Elders were somewhat unsightly, one still gave the command, "Xia Changqing, step forward to meet the challenge and fight against Yang Qi of Red God Valley."

"Yes!"

From among the Heavenly Gate Disciples, a tall and slender young man emerged, his figure ethereal and light, drifting down onto the Martial Arts Arena from the Heavenly Gate Mountain like a graceful swan, and he cupped his fists towards Yang Qi, "I am Xia Changqing. I ask for a fair match, please show mercy, brother."

Yang Qi nodded, saying, "As you wish."

In Xia Changqing’s hand was a three-foot green blade, its body gleaming, its wind pattern undulating. Known for his mastery of the Wind Dao, he pointed the sword at Yang Qi and said, "Please reveal your weapon."

Yet Yang Qi’s lips slowly curled into a disdainful smile and he said, "Against you, there’s no need!"

Arrogant!

The many disciples within Heavenly Gate were enraged. What was this, complete disrespect for the disciples of Heavenly Gate?

Even some of the Heavenly Gate Elders had darkened expressions.

Onlookers from various powerful factions were shocked; Yang Qi was indeed audacious. Though born from an Immortal Force, to so openly provoke Heavenly Gate was indeed extremely arrogant.
