Chapter 338: A Meeting of Prodigies

Boom!

Boom, boom!

The sounds of regimented hooves stamping the ground echoed from far away. There were several hundred armored hound race battle slaves with rich and powerful qi emissions. Steady and solemn, they rushed over with a strong momentum.

There were five divisions of troops which surrounded and protected a wild beast that was nearly a hundred meters tall. A small palace hall was set upon the back of that wild beast. This prestige was extraordinary, but not a shadow nor voice of the owner was revealed. It seemed rather mysterious.

In the blink of an eye, the troops made their final approach. Up ahead, an Ascendant Realm powerhouse gripped an immense iron flag, which flapped in the wind. The iron flag was dyed blood-red, and Ten Ultimates Sect was written in large characters upon it. Painted in iron and etched with silver, the calligraphy was grand and majestic.

Suddenly, that Ascendant Realm powerhouse swung his arm. That iron flag shattered the sky, plummeted down from above, and pierced straight into the ground. In a split second, the pole of the iron flag dug about ten meters underground, and the gigantic face of that flag swayed out. Another line of bloody characters was revealed —?Blood Transformation Palace Hall!

At this very moment, it seemed like a tide of blood was surging into people’s faces. The invisible stench of blood permeated the whole place, leaving a heavy iron-like taste in everyone’s mouths.

The next instant, the vast number of troops came to a halt. Throughout all the ranks, not a single person made a sound.

At the same time, numerous martial artists discovered that they had already unknowingly yielded exceptionally good positions, which became the territory of this newly-arrived prodigy!

If it was said that the existence of the Ice Phoenix Goddess, the sole woman among the previous prodigies, drew everyone’s attention, then now, she had also become a shadow in other people’s eyes. For all the present martial artists, although that all-star prodigy hadn’t truly shown himself, they still looked over. Their hearts were either overwhelmed by emotions, or filled with curiosity.

What kind of a prodigy was this?

Qi Xuanao and the other male prodigies scoffed, and slightly exerted their own auras.

At this time, many martial artists found that these three prodigies didn’t come alone. Behind them, there were orders of troops, too. Merely, because the three of them arrived the fastest and had rushed to the very front, and their qi fields were too powerful, they masked the approaching presence of their troops. A person basically wouldn’t take notice without carefully looking.

It was just like the situation behind that light-cyan wild bird hovering in the air. There were numerous birds in flight. Likewise, there were many martial artists sitting on their backs. There were men and women wearing silk-white robes, and they were light and airy like immortals banished from the heavens.

For a short while, the five sides stood in confrontation.

Those four prodigies looked towards that gigantic wild beast. Their gazes were bright, clear and indifferent, suspicious, or fierce, but there were no doubts that they all carried the same intent —?They were waiting for the prodigy inside that high palace hall to show himself!

Numerous martial artists of other organizations also held their breaths with rapt attention as they looked at Ten Ultimates Sect’s fighting force.

Immediately following this, on that wild beast’s back, the palace gates of the small palace hall opened.

A figure suddenly came out, and calmly stood in front of the palace hall.

Soon after, this person faintly smiled. His voice was low, soft, and magnetic: “This one is Ten Ultimates Sect’s Gongyi Tianheng. I have troubled everyone for the long wait.”

It was as if a bright moon emerged from the sea, blossoming with a lofty, silver splendor.

There was a moment of silence.

Before Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo came to the Black Sand River, they distantly perceived that numerous, majestic auras were soaring into the sky up ahead. Clearly, the prodigies of other organizations had gotten there in advance. The two were considered late by half a step.

They made slight preparations, and someone suddenly appeared in front of them.

Tianheng said: “Ao Ying, speak.”

Ao Ying was as steady as always: “Within Ten Ultimates Sect’s domain, there are four prodigies at the Immortal Realm. They are Beast Taming Sect’s Fan Meng, Hundred Skies Sect’s Qi Xuanao, Bao Clan’s Bao Hong, and Jade Flame Valley’s Ice Phoenix Goddess Mu Baizhi. These four have already arrived, and they’re currently waiting beside the Black Sand River.”

Tianheng nodded briefly: “It looks like I really have come late.”

Sometimes, Ao Ying was very old-fashioned: “Those four organizations are Ten Ultimates Sect’s subordinate forces. Although their prodigies are powerful, their statuses also fall short of the young master.”

Tianheng smiled: “I care more about strength than status.”

Ao Ying respectfully said: “Their foundations are also certainly inferior to that of the young master.”

Tianheng waved his hand, and ordered Ao Ying to withdraw. Meanwhile, he looked at the person by his side, and softly said: “Ah Zuo, how about going out with me?”

Gu Zuo was quiet.

They would certainly be the focus of everyone’s attention if they went out like this. Was he going to be poked into a sieve by these pointed gazes? However, since his big brother mentioned it…he would definitely follow along.

Hence, Gu Zuo nodded his head: “Okay, big brother.”

Tianheng smiled, and patted Gu Zuo’s shoulder: “Don’t worry. If I leave you by yourself in the palace hall, then onlookers will notice. On the contrary, this would cause people to pay even more attention to you.”

Gu Zuo nodded again. He trusted his big brother.

Since people came, Tianheng didn’t intend to put on airs inside the palace hall. He quickly sensed that extremely formidable qi emissions were rushing towards this side. If he didn’t come out, perhaps he would be subjected to an initial show of force.

Tianheng’s brows faintly moved. He stood up, and took a step forward: “Ah Zuo, follow behind me.”

Gu Zuo hastily kept pace with him: “Okay, big brother.”

After walking a dozen or so steps, the two were already in front of the palace gates. Then, Tianheng flashed ahead, presenting himself in front of everyone. On the other hand, because Gu Zuo was following in the back, he stood behind Tianheng while keeping absolutely silent. He completely lacked any presence.

However, Tianheng’s sense of existence surpassed that of ordinary people. Just as Gu Zuo previously imagined, almost everyone’s gazes fell onto his big brother.

There were all kinds of feelings within those gazes, but in general, all of them were filled with shock.

Gu Zuo: “…”

He would always feel that what shocked them was his big brother’s face. Was it because his big brother hadn’t unleashed his aura, and restrained it instead?

Although, this face was indeed worthy of shock…

Returning to Tianheng — After he appeared, he didn’t have any stage fright in the least, and allowed these numerous organizations to size him up.

Because his features, bearing, and elegant demeanor were beyond the common man, he naturally caused many people’s thoughts to undergo an upheaval. However, when all was said and done, what those few prodigies cared about right now was Tianheng’s strength.

Bao Hong’s throat moved: “Certainly, this is a low Immortal Realm who has just broken through. But—”

This person couldn’t be underestimated.

Qi Xuanao and Fan Meng’s eyes also flickered deeply.

That’s right. For people of the same rank, even if one couldn’t see through the opponent’s trump cards, defeating the other depended on whether they really had any skills or if they were worthless despite an attractive facade. One could develop a hunch just by looking at the other party — Unless they were incompetent, this was the case for everyone.

Obviously, none of these prodigies were inept.

Thus, all of them raised their vigilance by ten percent, and reduced their previous doubts by thirty percent.

When Tianheng entered the scene, he introduced himself. Although these prodigies still had some misgivings about Tianheng, they also gave face at this moment, and similarly introduced themselves one after another.

While he was in the small palace hall, Gu Zuo already heard Ao Ying’s report. However, now that he was listening to the voices of these prodigies, he realized that they were completely different from those geniuses he had seen in the past.

If it was said that the pressure those geniuses gave was rated as one, then the pressure these prodigies emitted was at least ten. Even though they were all at the Immortal Realm, the perceived distance between them was hard to imagine.

—?If Gu Zuo’s psychic power wasn’t keen enough, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to distinguish this point so quickly.

At this moment, Gu Zuo couldn’t help recalling the three prodigies who threatened and hunted down numerous elites while on the Road of Heaven’s Chosen. They were also prodigies, but compared to these four honorable personages here, their imposing auras seemed somewhat weaker. It was just that they were likewise prodigies of bronze-ranked organizations. Even though there were discrepancies between forces of the same rank, there shouldn’t have been such huge differences between prodigies, right?

At that time, Gu Zuo watched the intense fight between his family’s big brother and the Third Prince. Later on, had it not been for the Third Prince making use of that trick, the Third Prince probably would’ve lost to his big brother. However, Gu Zuo was able to make another measurement, too. If that time’s Tianheng battled with the prodigies here, Tianheng definitely wouldn’t win.

How large was the difference between peak Xiantian and the Immortal Realm? After breaking through, Gu Zuo couldn’t have understood it more clearly.

So to say, was it possible that…the strengths of those three prodigies had been somewhat restricted within the Road of Heaven’s Chosen?

Gu Zuo quickly restrained this thought.

In any case, it was true that they became enemies with the Third Prince at that time. Even if the Road of Heaven’s Chosen had restrictions, the present Gu Zuo and Tianheng had nothing to fear.

After his big brother broke through to the Immortal Realm, no matter how many times the Third Prince’s strength doubled, the Third Prince would still be beaten up like a dead dog! Moreover, his big brother was backed by a silver-ranked organization. There was even less need to worry about the other party shamelessly sending an older generation to take revenge.

Hence, Gu Zuo didn’t ponder this any longer. He redirected his gaze back to Tianheng.

At this moment, the sole woman among the prodigies, the Ice Phoenix Goddess Mu Baizhi, opened her mouth. Although her manner of speaking was clear and cold, because her tone of voice was slightly soft, it gave people a feeling that was different from her outward appearance: “We have come here to eliminate the flood dragon. Do these esteemed senior brothers have any plans?”

The corner of Gu Zuo’s mouth twitched.

Ah, he previously heard that this woman was older than his big brother…
