Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 893 - 891: Man Triumphs over Nature

"You alone will suffice?"

"Xiao, this is no joking matter; that is the Western State Spiritual Mountain we are talking about, far more powerful than the Nantian Holy Land!"

"Now is not the time to put on airs. With the power of the Western State Buddhist Sect, even though the Supreme Venerables will not intervene due to the rules between holy places, the opponents will have at least a Ninth Layer Heaven Honor, or even figures at the Heavenly Venerate Peak!"

Everyone tried to persuade him.

Even Nantian Wen, who was extremely optimistic about Xiao Yi, showed a serious expression at this moment and said, "Xiao Yi, you must not underestimate the Heavenly Venerate Peak just because you have slain Master Tianyun. Even a Ninth Layer Heaven Honor compared to the Heavenly Venerate Peak has an incredibly terrifying gap!"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Nantian Wen with a trace of fiery battle intent in his eyes, "Your Majesty, if I'm not wrong, your realm is at the Heavenly Venerate Peak, right?"

Nantian Wen once slew a Heaven Honor from the Nantian Holy Land with a single blow; his combat power is absolutely dominant among the Heaven Honors.

However, it's clear that Nantian Wen has not stepped into the Supreme Venerable Realm.

Otherwise...

He wouldn't still be subject to the Nantian Holy Land in many respects.

Xiao Yi thus speculated that Nantian Wen's cultivation level should be at the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak.

Nantian Wen was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, indeed I am at the Heavenly Venerate Peak!"

Qiu Yiyun looked at Nantian Wen with a trace of awe and said solemnly, "Your Majesty's strength is incredibly strong. The Saint Lord once said that in the vast Southern State, Your Majesty is the foremost personage under the Supreme Venerable!"

Sss!

Everyone was shocked.

The Saint Lord!

That was the leader of the Nantian Holy Land, a Saint Venerable level existence. Even Xiao Yi and Little Lin, who had guessed that Nantian Wen was very strong, were incredibly shocked to hear Qiu Yiyun's words.

They, too, hadn't expected Nantian Wen to have received such praise from the Saint Lord of the Nantian Holy Land.

Nantian Wen's expression was impassive.

As if being called the first person under the Supreme Venerable by the Saint Lord of the Nantian Holy Land meant nothing to be pleased about to him.

Xiao Yi eagerly proposed, "Your Majesty, would you grant me a battle?"

"Uh?"

Nantian Wen was startled, looking at Xiao Yi with slight surprise, then said in realization, "You want to fight me to understand how far you are from the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Nantian Wen couldn't help but smile wryly, "Xiao Yi, I admit your talent is unparalleled in my lifetime, and even at the same realm, I couldn't achieve what you have. But the idea that you can grow enough in merely half a year's time to be on par with the pinnacle of the Tian race is simply impossible..."

Despite the fact that Xiao Yi was able to slay Master Tianyun of the Fifth Layer Heaven Honor Realm, this astonished Nantian Wen for a long time.

But...

The idea of growing from the Fifth Layer Heaven Honor Realm strength to the Heavenly Venerate Peak in just half a year's time was outright impossible, mere fanciful dreams.

Nantian Ao lamented with a smile, "Let alone half a year, even fifty years, five hundred years might not be enough time!"

Qiu Yiyun earnestly advised, "Xiao, it's better to listen to us and leave Southern State immediately!"

Phew!

Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes determined and resolute as he said, "Leaving is easy for me, but what's to become of the Daqian Dynasty? What about the Xiaoshanhe Institute?"

"But you can't just throw your life away for nothing."

"That's the Heavenly Venerate Peak we're talking about!"

"You have no hope..."

The crowd voiced their concerns.

Xiao Yi smiled and said confidently, "How can there be no hope? More than three years ago, when I said I'd surpass Xiao Tianjiao, everyone thought I was delusional, that it was impossible. Now, Xiao Tianjiao has long turned into dust..."

"That's different... Xiao Tianjiao is nothing. What you're facing now is the Heavenly Venerate Realm Peak…" Qiu Yiyun said.

"I see no difference!"

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Two years ago, if I said I could make the Daqian Dynasty on equal footing with the Nantian Dynasty, did you think it was possible? I said I could make the Xiaoshanhe Institute the strongest Martial Arts Academy in Southern State, did you think that was possible at that time?"

"..."

The group exchanged looks, unable to find the words to say.

Xiao Yi continued, "In my view—man is destined to overcome destiny!"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Reflecting on Xiao Yi's journey, it seemed that all the challenges he faced appeared utterly hopeless at the time, declaring his future to be shrouded in darkness was not an exaggeration.

But what was the outcome?

Step by step, Xiao Yi shattered one impossibility after another, forging new possibilities!

Half a year's time.

It would be an impossible challenge to break through to match the pinnacle of Heavenly Venerable in such a duration.

But then again...

Who could guarantee that Xiao Yi wouldn't turn the impossible into possible once more?

Upon this thought.

Nantian Wen burst into laughter and said, "Excellent, excellent, a man destined to overcome destiny! Xiao Yi, I accept your challenge!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yi's eyes blazed with passion as he gave a cupped fist salute to Nantian Wen.

Nantian Wen made a welcoming gesture and led everyone deep into the palace, where a vast black pagoda stood. Pointing at the pagoda, Nantian Wen said, "This pagoda is known as Xumi Pagoda, containing a space within that can withstand battles between the Heavenly Venerables. Only here can we fight unrestrained. Let's enter the pagoda for a bout!"

The power of the Heavenly Venerable tier could only be described as earth-shattering and heaven-destroying.

Just like Xiao Yi's last battle at Tian Yun Temple.

The vast Tianyun Mountain Range turned into complete ruins.

If they were to fight in the imperial capital, it would level the entire city to the ground!

The two immediately entered the Xumi Pagoda.

Little Lin, Nantian Ao, and Qiu Yiyun anxiously waited outside the pagoda.

Suddenly, Qiu Yiyun asked, "How long do you think Xiao can hold on?"

Nantian Ao pondered for a moment and said, "The battle will be resolved within ten breaths!" After a pause, he continued, "Five years ago, the number one talent of Nantian Holy Institute battled His Majesty inside Xumi Pagoda and lasted ten breaths!"

Qiu Yiyun nodded in agreement: "I also think the battle will be decided within ten breaths."

Little Lin, however, sneered and puffed out his chest, "Ten breaths? You guys are seriously underestimating my boss, I think he can last at least the duration of an incense stick..."

"An incense stick's time? Impossible!"

"The gap is too vast..."

As the three discussed, inside Xumi Pagoda, Xiao Yi and Nantian Wen saluted each other and stood face to face.

Nantian Wen raised his right hand, making an inviting gesture, "Five years ago, the top individual from Nantian Holy Institute sparred with me. I only used one hand, and he lasted ten breaths; I hope you can surpass him!"

"Ten breaths?"

Xiao Yi paused, then chuckled and shook his head, subsequently raising two fingers.

Nantian Wen paused, frowning, "What? You plan to last twenty breaths?"

"No!"

Xiao Yi shook his head, enunciating each word, "Force you to use both hands!"

"Uh..."

Nantian Wen's expression froze, followed by a hearty laugh, "Youngsters indeed have spirit, but you're underestimating me. If I were truly to use both hands, I will bestow upon you an extraordinary opportunity against the natural order..."

"Since Your Majesty insists, I would be disrespectful to decline!" Xiao Yi grinned.

Hmph!

Nantian Wen snorted coldly, "Let's speak after the battle!"

"Fight!"

Both of them growled simultaneously, and their figures disappeared within Xumi Pagoda...
