Chapter 1557: The Supreme Child
This was a boy, about six years old. Chaotic Qi coiled around his waist, his eyes were like gems, and his black hair naturally fell over his shoulders. He was quite handsome, possessing a rare spiritual aura.
Everyone was startled. How old was this child? He already had Chaos clinging to him. It was too astonishing, making every senior figure feel a sense of powerlessness.
If he was like this at six or seven, what would he become when he grew up? How many of his peers in this world could contend with him? It was lamentable. The people who emerged from the Forbidden Zones of Life truly made one feel a bit desperate.
"Heaven-defying talent, rare since ancient times. Brother Shenming has fathered an excellent child. Your lineage has been strong for three generations, and your inheritance will surely become even more stable." Anpu sighed, a trace of envy appearing on his pale face.
"It's nothing. There were even more powerful children in ancient times. You've heard of them, haven't you?" Shenming said, but he was very satisfied with his own offspring. The Imperial Blood had not weakened after skipping a generation; instead, it was even more outstanding, with talent reaching an extreme.
He had brought three children out to see the world and gain experience. Not all were his own offspring, but they all came from the Forbidden Zone of Life. For existences like them, those who could be selected and sealed were naturally the strongest. The same was true for these children.
Clearly, these children had been set with restrictions and imprints, preventing outsiders from probing their cultivation depth or harming them with hidden means.
But just by looking at them, one could tell that none of these children were ordinary. Each one was too heaven-defying. Fragments of laws manifested in their blood, and Chaotic Qi diffused from them.
"So this is your child? You really think he's invincible under heaven?" Black Emperor stepped forward, his face full of arrogance. "You should remember that Great Emperor who once entered your forbidden zone. When he was born, because he was too powerful, some of his foundation was directly cut away, for fear he would lack tempering in the future. That was truly heaven-defying!"
A large dog wearing a golden leather loincloth, looking down on everyone, was truly infuriating.
One had to know, it was belittling a Forbidden Zone of Life! It made people wonder where it got such courage, and it made them indignant.
The child beside Shenming naturally puffed up with anger, glaring at it furiously, clenching his small fists, wishing he could give it a beating.
However, Shenming himself was shocked. He stared at it for a long time, then said, "Have I seen you before? You are that dog by that person's side. You've lived until this era! That's right. With his methods, it would be too easy for him to do so."
Anpu also became serious, staring at Black Emperor for a long time, then said, "That person was already in his later years at that time. He once passed through our Immortal Mountain, accompanied by a huge black dog."
Everyone was shaken. Although there had always been legends that this dog, hated by both gods and men, had followed a Great Emperor, and its origins were terrifyingly mysterious, there had never been any solid evidence. At this moment, with an existence from the Forbidden Zone of Life saying so, everything was confirmed. It was all true!
"One child making a move isn't enough. It's not a good fight. Better call a few more to come together," Black Emperor said, its words quite infuriating.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Currently, the strongest were the seven Forbidden Zones of Life. And now a dog was starting to despise them! It really felt like a temporal disorder.
"Doggy, don't brag," said a little girl about three years old, who was struggling to pull the big black dog's tail from behind, trying hard to drag it back. Her manner was naive and endearing, very cute.
In the end, the big black dog was dragged away, no longer acting wild or saying much, leaving everyone staring blankly.
Shenming revealed a strange look, then said, "Since that's the case, since you're so confident, I'll invite another child to take the stage. If they all lose, I'll naturally do as you say."
The development of events had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ye Fan's expression was calm. He said nothing, directly tearing open the void and taking out a glowing object from the Primordial Qi Cauldron. It was a large piece of Immortal Source, something the vast majority of people in the world could never have seen.
Both Anpu and Shenming's eyes gleamed with strange light, staring at this Immortal Source, which was extremely rare and precious even for them.
Sealed within it was a fair, chubby baby. Having been disturbed from a good dream, he seemed very annoyed, glaring angrily at Ye Fan. When he saw Ye Fan raise his hand, he quickly covered his bottom.
There was space inside the Immortal Source for him to move around. This action was very childlike, making everyone want to laugh.
The little fatty understood the situation, recognizing this as the Ji Family, because he had been here before. One of his words had once shocked many elders of this family so much they nearly overturned their tables.
Seeing Ye Fan glare at him, the Divine Child relented, saying very indignantly, "I was wrong last time. He's actually not my father!"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected this little fatty to say such a thing. Why? It sounded like a classic case of "protesting too much."
Many people showed strange expressions, all looking toward Ye Fan.
"This kid is a disaster!" Dongfang Ye, Li Heishui, and the others couldn't help but curse.
Not only were the Ji Family members dizzy, but even Shenming and Anpu were a bit dazed, staring at him without stopping.
In the sky, only Chaos Expansion Great Sage's heart was pounding. He was the only one who had chased after him to personally understand and had almost claimed kinship, only to be scared into fleeing.
"I'm giving you a task. Defeat that child over there," Ye Fan said with a dark face. Facing the Divine Child, he raised his hand several times, almost slapping his little bottom. This little fatty was too much of a troublemaker.
The Divine Child rubbed his big eyes, fully awake, and shouted in surprise, "What? Let me beat him up? You've finally sent me someone to vent my anger on!"
Everyone was a bit dizzy. This little fatty was really something. Opening his mouth, he wanted to beat up the descendant of a supreme being from the Forbidden Zone of Life. He said it so casually. At this age, with this tone, he was even more infuriating than Black Emperor.
"I'm telling you to seriously defeat him," Ye Fan corrected.
"Isn't that what I meant? You want me to beat him up, to bully that kid," the little fatty said. No matter how you heard it, the meaning was off, as if Ye Fan wanted to bully a child.
"But I really love it! You've finally sent me someone to vent on. I'm going to treat him like that bastard Li Tian and spank his bottom until it blooms!" The little fatty had already started fantasizing happily.
On the other side, the six-year-old child had long since widened his eyes, his small fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Who was he? Although young, he knew he came from the Forbidden Zone of Life. No one outside dared to provoke them. They were truly the favored sons of heaven. No one in the nine heavens and ten lands dared to look down on them like this.
"Little fatty, you're too naive. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth," Mingren said angrily, asking Shenming for permission to immediately go over and knock the Divine Child down.
"Come on, I'm so excited I'm almost trembling," the little fatty said in a very arrogant manner, his eyes truly filled with excitement. He shouted, "Kid, come over here! Let me teach you a good lesson."
Everyone was dizzy again. Who had this child learned from? He was so young, how could he talk like this? Everyone involuntarily looked at Ye Fan.
Even Ji Zi and Ji Haoyue looked at him suspiciously.
Ye Fan rubbed his temples, his head aching. He said softly, "Don't look at me. After he came back, he kept talking back, so I let Black Emperor and Huahua discipline him for a few days. This is the result."
The Immortal Source floated unsteadily, like a baby just learning to walk, staggering along. The little fatty inside shouted excitedly, "Kid, bring it on! I'll beat you until even your own father won't recognize you!"
Everyone was even more dizzy, and then couldn't help but laugh again.
Shenming's face darkened for the first time. What kind of nonsense was that? Saying that in front of him was really... damn inappropriate.
But what status did he have? No matter how domineering, he couldn't seriously argue with a child. That would only invite ridicule.
The child Mingren beside Shenming was furious. With his background, how could he have been taught such words? He was extremely indignant. He turned into a beam of light and charged over, raising his fist to smash, intending to shatter the Immortal Source directly, drag the little fatty out, and give him a beating.
Everyone was shocked, because they saw the power of laws on the child's fist. This was truly too shocking. How old was he?!
"Perfect timing! Watch how big brother deals with you!" The little fatty shouted happily, as if he had found the best gift.
The Immortal Source wobbled and twisted, dodging this punch. The person inside the source seemed a bit unreliable. With such unsteady legs, could he still fight? After all, he was really too small.
Of course, people were also astonished. From the moment the Divine Child came out, everyone had discussed that being sealed in a precious source could never be ordinary.
"Come out!" Mingren shouted lightly, leaping into the air and stomping toward the Immortal Source, intending to crack it open and stomp the hateful fatty inside out.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Source shook. Although it wobbled, it directly emitted a saintly might, causing the six-year-old child in midair to be unable to withstand it and fall to the ground.
"Kid, you're still too green. Want to fight me? Go cultivate for another eight hundred or a thousand years!" The little fatty shouted excitedly, driving the Immortal Source to smash over. With a bang, it hit Mingren right on the forehead, making him dizzy.
Everyone didn't know what to say. This little fatty was only about two or three years old, chubby, white and plump, and completely naked, yet he was calling someone else green. This tone was so strange it was unbearable.
Of course, some powerful experts were terrified. Although they were far away, they had already sensed the saintly might from earlier. It was truly shocking to the extreme.
This was like a myth. A mere child had become a saint! If this were spoken of, no one would believe it. Was this the offspring of an immortal?!
"Bang!"
The little fatty moved inside the Immortal Source, clumsily flipping Mingren over, using his will to beat him up, while shouting, "Kid, trying to fight me? You haven't even grown all your teeth yet. Today, I'll beat you until even your own father won't recognize you!"
Beside them, Shenming had already turned into a dark-faced god, with wisps of green Qi on his forehead and black lines crisscrossing his face.
