Chapter 1041: Outstanding Talent Among Men
The Celestial Prince had already emerged from seclusion and was about to arrive with the Eight Divine Generals, stunning everyone. For so many years, who could contend with him? Now, with just a stomp of his foot, the Eastern Wasteland would tremble three times.
"It is said that this divine offspring is enraged, vowing to slaughter the murderer and avenge his subordinates. I heard he has already sharpened his heavenly blade, intending to personally cut off the enemy's head to offer sacrifices to the dead."
"When the Celestial Prince is angered, tens of thousands will fall, blood will flow so thick it floats shields—this will be a great calamity!"
People discussed endlessly. An ancient imperial prince emerging from seclusion to personally head south to kill was a shocking event that would undoubtedly draw worldwide attention and become a topic of discussion across the realm.
His prestige was now unparalleled. Mobilizing such a massive force and making such a grand entrance would stir up boundless waves.
Not far away, Ye Fan sneered coldly. Would this divine offspring really appear at the first moment? Not necessarily. Having dealt with him before, he knew this person had incited many strong warriors but rarely acted himself.
This floating island was filled with noise as people couldn't help but discuss. Among those present, only that Ji Zi remained calm and indifferent, showing no reaction at all.
When everything quieted down, people couldn't help but turn back to look at Li Qingsong. He had also just revealed a shocking piece of news, and someone couldn't resist asking.
"Has Saint Lord Yao Guang really not left this world? Wasn't there an early rumor that he had set foot on the Stellar Ancient Path to undergo the most powerful trial in history?"
"My master has never left." Li Qingsong smiled, his teeth snow-white, his body shimmering with rosy light, even his pores emitting essence radiance. He was very radiant.
People continued to arrive, landing on this island, bringing many messages, almost all from the Northern Domain.
"Everyone, can you guess who that person is? To dare kill the ancient clan experts like that, he must have an extraordinary background."
"Yes, even Saint Lord Yao Guang never did such a thing in all these years. Who is he?"
People discussed. That person had, in one night, slaughtered through eighteen strongholds and nailed thirteen Dao Cutters, shaking the world. Everyone was guessing, but no one could figure it out.
"If that person from back then hadn't left, I think he could have done it and dared to do so." Someone spoke, immediately drawing many gazes.
"You mean... the Sacred Body Ye Fan from back then?"
"Yes, only he would dare to confront the Celestial Prince like that. But he left this world long ago."
"It can't be him. A Half-Saint personally witnessed him making a move at the Fire Spirit Gully and used his Heavenly Eye to see his true origin. He doesn't possess the golden blood energy of the Sacred Body."
When people mentioned Ye Fan, they all shook their heads. That domineering figure had long since traveled far away, becoming a thing of the past, unlikely to appear again.
An hour later, various extraordinary experts from the Southern Domain's sects arrived. The strong were like a forest, the experts like clouds, making people sigh—each generation produces its own talents, each leading the way for centuries.
In the Southern Domain, Yao Guang, the Ji Family, the Xiaoyao Sect, and others were the most prominent in striking down Ji Biyue.
The Heavenly Maiden of the Wind Clan said unhurriedly, "I heard that in the end, it was that mysterious strongman wielding a dark gold spear who killed all the ancient clan members, preserving some face for sister's Ji Family."
"What does sister want to say? Are you guessing that person is the Sacred Body Ye Fan?" Ji Biyue smiled. No matter how many words she spoke, seizing on this one point was enough to make Feng Huang furious.
Sure enough, Feng Huang's gaze was piercing. What she least wanted mentioned was this past incident. She said coldly, "The descendants of the Eight Divine Generals have already gone south. Sister, if you are truly a descendant of Emperor Void, you should think more about how to salvage your dignity. Emperor Void was revered by the four seas, admired by all under heaven, and his might intimidated the nine heavens and ten lands! His direct descendants, with his supreme imperial blood flowing in their veins, even possessing some memory fragments, yet being slapped in the face like this—this is a great disgrace to the Human Emperor."
Ye Fan noticed that Ji Zi frowned, then stood up and left the island.
He was not tall, plain-looking, very ordinary, but he drew Ye Fan's suspicion and attention. This person was truly special.
Ji Zi was taciturn. If he stood in a crowd, he would never be noticed—very ordinary and common. His departure caused no stir because no one valued him or thought him extraordinary.
More cultivators arrived, bringing new news. "I heard that the Celestial Prince's subordinates have entered the Southern Domain one after another. The first batch of Eight Divine Generals' descendants is at the ancient city 'Cloud Peak' ten thousand miles away, mobilizing a great force."
Cloud Peak City was one of the ten great cities of the Southern Domain, standing alongside Green Cloud City. From ancient times to the present, it had always been an important place.
However, at this moment, something incredibly terrifying happened. The sky was collapsing, the earth was surging with chaos, and the void was stained with blood. That kind of fluctuation seemed beyond the scope of human power!
Not long after, a message reached this divine island on Li Lake in Green Cloud City. Some people were so excited that their chests heaved violently, and they couldn't even speak clearly.
"Everyone, huge news! Something major just happened!"
"The first batch of the Celestial Prince's subordinates is all dead. Not a single one survived. A strange fluctuation arose in Cloud Peak City. The void undulated, and the bodies of the Eight Divine Generals' descendants turned into blood mist, leaving only their heads hanging in the air."
"Impossible! There were Dao Cutters among them, a large number of experts. How could they just die like that?!"
"It happened very suddenly. No one knows what happened. That stretch of void seemed to have a life of its own, slaughtering all the ancient clan experts!"
Everyone was stunned. Someone was trying to humiliate the Celestial Prince. The first batch of his subordinates had just arrived in the Southern Domain and was wiped out cleanly. What kind of dominance and arrogance was this? This slap in the face was too loud.
