Chapter 153 - 151 Are You the Number One Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou? I’m the Number One Heavenly Pride of the Barbecue Sect
Everyone stopped fighting and turned their heads in unison to look.
They saw a handsome youth clad in magnificent brocade garments, his hands behind his back, walking on air toward them. With every step he took, a snow-white lotus flower would materialize beneath his feet.
This person appeared to be about twenty years old and bore a certain resemblance to Long Shaoyu.
With each step he took, his aura doubled in intensity, and the pressure felt by the Heavenly Prides naturally became even stronger.
"Is this Jiuzhou’s number one Heavenly Pride? He’s too strong."
The Heavenly Prides continuously circulated their True Qi to fend off the terrible suppression, but as the youth slowly approached, his overwhelming presence forced the Heavenly Prides to retreat, as if they were respectfully making way for the arrival of a king.
As the youth drew ever nearer, and his aura grew ever more formidable, even Martial Saints in the early stage, such as Liu Zhentian, Lang Tianya, and Long Shaoyu, found it difficult to withstand the suppression and had no choice but to step aside.
Then came Lei Wanjun and Su Qingyu, and in the end, even Mu Yebai and Li Yuxin had to clear a path for him.
The youth’s steps birthed lotuses, and he walked through the middle of the Heavenly Prides, heading straight for the Divine Pond. He did not look at any of them from start to finish; his gaze was fixed on the center of the Ancient Divine Pool, on the Ancient Divine Lotus that was about to bloom in its entirety.
Unable to bear being so overlooked, one of the Heavenly Prides shouted angrily, "Long Shaotian, so what if you are Jiuzhou’s number one Heavenly Pride? With so many of us joining forces, how can you resist?"
Upon hearing this, Long Shaotian finally stopped, turned his head to look at the Heavenly Pride, and a lotus flower materialized in his eyes.
"Ah! What is this?"
The next moment, the Heavenly Pride screamed in terror.
Everyone turned to look and saw that the person’s body had bizarrely sprouted numerous lotus flowers, which were crazily devouring his life force.
"No, get off of me."
The man frantically shattered the lotuses on his body, but as soon as he crushed one, another would quickly regrow. No matter what he did, he couldn’t get rid of them all.
In just moments, his body was covered in lotuses, and he no longer showed any signs of life; he had obviously died.
"He’s gotten stronger."
Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai’s pupils shrank, and a trace of shock appeared on their faces.
A mere glance, and he had directly killed a Heavenly Pride at the peak of Martial Venerate; this was something Long Shaotian absolutely couldn’t have done before. Your next read is at empire
Clearly, after entering the Secret Realm, Long Shaotian had also encountered some fortuitous opportunity, and his strength had increased even more.
After killing the Heavenly Pride, Long Shaotian still didn’t utter a word and continued walking on air toward the Ancient Divine Lotus.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Long Shaotian’s gaze sharpened. Two little brats are actually able to withstand my Divine Skill’s suppression?
His ability to intimidate the entire scene was not solely due to his own aura.
An aura at the peak of Martial Saint is strong, but it is not enough to overwhelm late-stage Martial Saints merely with suppression alone.
This was one of his Divine Skills, called "Lotus Step."
With each step, his momentum doubled.
As long as no one forcefully interrupted, in theory, his momentum could infinitely stack.
That’s why, although he could have arrived in an instant, he chose this seemingly show-off way of appearing.
He originally thought that the strongest among the Heavenly Prides were just the late-stage Martial Saint Heavenly Prides like Li Yuxin and Mu Yebai; he didn’t expect these two little brats to be even more resilient than them.
"Let’s see how long you can hold out."
Long Shaotian snorted coldly in his heart and continued to walk forward through the air.
One step, one lotus flower, his momentum climbing with each stride.
The Heavenly Prides kept retreating under this crazily escalating momentum, even the Two-headed Fire Dragon, who was comparable to the peak of Martial Saint, couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
But Chu Xin and Chu Chen still floated in the air, blocking the path Long Shaotian had to take to reach the Ancient Divine Lotus.
Still not making way?
Long Shaotian looked at the two little brats in front of him, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Those two brats, are they really that strong?"
The gathering of Heavenly Prides stared in shock at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who remained unmoved and even casually sipped their Beast Milk.
"Sister, why did they run away when they saw him?"
Chu Chen tilted his little head, tugging at Chu Xin’s sleeve, and asked in confusion.
"How would I know?"
Chu Xin scrutinized Long Shaotian for a moment and murmured softly, "He’s not ugly either, nor scary."
Although their voices were quiet, they were not deliberately concealed.
The cultivation of everyone present was at least at the level of Martial Venerate, how could they not hear?
Not ugly?
What nonsense is that?
That is Long Shaotian, the number one Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou, an existence at the peak of Martial Saint.
His cultivation was in no way inferior to those older generations of Heavenly Prides; such a person, who wouldn’t fear him?
Moreover, the aura of Long Shaotian was truly too strong. They couldn’t resist and had no choice but to retreat.
It’s truly unclear whether these two brats were feigning composure or genuinely didn’t feel the suppression of Long Shaotian, as they didn’t take a single step back.
"Whoever obstructs me, dies!"
Long Shaotian spoke a second time, his tone laden with intense murderous intent.
Chu Xin blinked her round eyes fiercely and asked, "Are you here to snatch the Divine Lotus too? I’ll beat your butt until it’s smashed."
Beat your butt until it’s smashed?
Long Shaotian’s eyelids twitched. It was his first encounter with this brat, not knowing the brat’s style, and thought it was an intentional insult, which ignited a nameless rage inside of him.
However, these two brats easily resisted his Divine Skills, so he shelved his contempt and said coldly, "I am the Saint Heir of the Lotus Sect from Longzhou, Long Shaotian. How may I address you two?"
If you want to win every battle, you must know both your enemies and yourself.
Only by knowing the origins of these two brats could he formulate a battle plan targeting the characteristics of their Cultivation Methods.
Chu Chen took a sip of Beast Milk, stood up tall and proud, and declared in his milky voice, "I am the Saint Heir of Kaorou Village’s Roast Meat Faction, Ai Kaorou. She’s my sister, the Saintess of the Roast Meat Faction, Ai Chirou."
The Saint Heir of Kaorou Village’s Roast Meat Faction, Ai Kaorou?
The Saintess of the Roast Meat Faction, Ai Chirou?
What sort of ridiculous names are these?
The Heavenly Prides, upon hearing this, all had speechless expressions on their faces.
However, those who already knew the siblings found that the fake names indeed suited the duo well, considering their behavior as little foodies.
"Hmph!"
Long Shaotian huffed coldly, his face showing displeasure.
Having revealed his own identity, he felt annoyed that these two brats were still deliberately concealing theirs.
Chu Xin tilted her head, sizing up Long Shaotian, and asked, "Are you the one they call the number one Heavenly Pride of Jiuzhou?"
"Correct."
Long Shaotian nodded, his head also lifted slightly with pride.
Being Jiuzhou’s number one Heavenly Pride was his pride and glory, the proof of his superiority among the current Heavenly Prides.
"Ranked number one, you must be very powerful."
Chu Xin put the milk bottle back into the Sumeru Ring and said in her baby voice, "Coincidentally, I’m also the number one Heavenly Pride, the top Heavenly Pride of our Roast Meat Faction. Kaorou Village is ranked second. Do you dare to fight me?"
