Even though Chang Zhi’s words were extremely exaggerated, none of the surrounding Celestial Kings could refute his claims.
After all, Miao Yingwei’s strength had been displayed for all of them to see. Once he unleashed his Seventh Heaven battle prowess, he could massacre all of them with ease.
“His battle prowess is nothing more than the Seventh Heaven,” someone muttered quietly. “The stunning beauty from before was only at the peak stage of the Fourth Heaven, yet she possessed a battle prowess at the peak stage of the Sixth Heaven.”
Someone beside them nodded, saying, “Even though that was thanks to her Celestial Tool, her strength alone was still at least at the Sixth Heaven.”
“To surpass two cultivation levels… She’s even more powerful than monarch stars!”!!
“Even more powerful than me?” Miao Yingwei asked. None of them had noticed that he had already split apart the lightning and returned at some time.
The two people who had spoken hurriedly shut their mouths. Even though they were also at the Sixth Heaven, they knew that they were no match for Miao Yingwei. If conflict occurred, their only option would be to flee. Otherwise, they would definitely be killed.
“Speak!” Miao Yingwei said with a cold humph. “Who can surpass me, Miao Yingwei?”
The two people didn’t want to leave, thus they obediently told him about the Empress and her feats.
“She merely relied on her Celestial Tool!” Miao Yingwei said in disdain. His voice became low, so low that only he could hear what he said as he muttered, “To possess a Celestial Tool… Either she’s a descendent of a Ninth Heaven Celestial King from this place, or she’s an outsider who’s come here to train.”
His eyes were gleaming. Even though he was extremely talented, he didn’t have the support of a Heavenly Venerate, so he naturally didn’t possess a Celestial Tool.
His eyes were red with lust. Regarding the Empress’ beauty, however, he didn’t believe this at all. Before entering the Celestial King Graveyard, he had also been surrounded by countless beauties. What kind of stunning beauty hadn’t he seen?
The bumpkins in the Celestial King Graveyard had seen far too few beauties, so even those who were slightly more attractive would be regarded as stunning beauties.
He pointed to the bridge, and asked, “You’re telling me that those two people are inside the balls of lightning?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, he replied with a shake of his head. Even with his strength, he still couldn’t withstand the attacks of such lightning for too long. This was to say nothing of enduring it for several thousand years.
Heh, these two people were definitely spreading rumors! How could measly Fourth Heaven Celestial Kings achieve such a feat?
“Heh, let me have a look!” He strode toward the bridge.
“You can’t!” someone shouted. “If you attempt to cross the bridge without beating the elder in a game of go first, you’ll be tossed into the river and killed!”
“Humph! Do I, Miao Yingwei, have anything to be afraid of?” Miao Yingwei said as he strode forward. He didn’t believe the nonsense of these people at all.
He quickly arrived at the foot of the bridge. After hesitating for a brief moment, he ultimately decided to stride forward.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of lightning as the elder eerily appeared on the bridge. He then reached over to grab at Miao Yingwei.
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Miao Yingwei said with a sneer. He replied with a palm strike of his own.
Peng!
The elder’s hand swooped down, and Miao Yingwei’s counterattack crumbled into a feeble heap. He was easily captured.
“N-Ninth Heaven Celestial King!” he exclaimed through clenched teeth. The gulf between them was far too great. Facing such an elite, his only fate was being suppressed.
The elder didn’t speak at all. Instead, he simply swung his hand.
Pa!
Miao Yingwei was tossed into the river.
“Aaah!” A burst of brilliant light erupted around Miao Yingwei as he surprisingly dashed out of the river, hovering in mid-air. His eyes were filled with anger and resentment.
“He didn’t die!”
“This is unbelievable!”
“As expected of a prodigy! He’s far too powerful!”
Everyone exclaimed in astonishment. This was the first time they had seen someone survive after being tossed into the river.
However, Miao Yingwei didn’t appear proud at all. When he was tossed into the river, his cultivation had actually been sealed. Thus, his only option had been to await death. However, he possessed a rare treasure, one that he had obtained from an ancient site. This rare treasure would only activate when he came across a life-and-death situation, and it could only be used a single time.
Just then, this rare treasure had unleashed its might. This signified that he had already died once.
He had obtained nothing, yet he had wasted a life-saving treasure. How could he be happy?
He sat down cross-legged next to the river. Right now, he was even more intent on obtaining the Celestial Tool. Otherwise, he would feel far too much regret.
100 years, 200 years…
Finally, the lightning became weaker and weaker, revealing Ling Han and the Empress.
As if sensing this, Miao Yingwei immediately opened his eyes. Upon glancing over, astonishment instantly swept over his face.
Surprisingly, there were indeed two people inside the balls of lightning. Moreover, they were only at the Fourth Heaven and the Fifth Heaven. This was absolutely unfathomable!
How had they survived?
Miao Yingwei didn’t know how long these two people had been inside the orbs of lightning before his arrival. He didn’t believe the words of the others, either. However, he had already sat here for 200 years.
200 years! He knew that he definitely couldn’t last inside the lightning for this long.
However, upon seeing the Empress clearly, his eyes involuntarily lit up.
She was far too beautiful! How could such a beautiful woman exist?
He suddenly roared with laughter, feeling like it didn’t matter that he had lost a life-saving treasure.
“I can advance to the Fifth Heaven now,” the Empress said. She had continued to absorb the power of the lightning for 2000 years, aiding her cultivation. Moreover, she had already been at the peak stage of the Fourth Heaven to begin with, so it was only natural that she could advance to the Fifth Heaven now.
Ling Han nodded in acknowledgment. He had also reached the late stage of the Fifth Heaven. If he experienced this two more times, he could most likely reach the peak stage of the Fifth Heaven and advance to the Sixth Heaven.
The Empress unleashed her cultivation, instantly causing thunder to rumble across the sky. She was about to undergo a tribulation.
Miao Yingwei had initially planned to approach the Empress. However, upon seeing the approach of a tribulation, he could only step back in reluctance. Even so, he could still approach the other person.
He stared at Ling Han, saying, “Brat, come over here!”
Ling Han was still standing on the bridge, so Miao Yingwei naturally didn’t dare to walk over. His life-saving treasure had already been consumed, so if he were tossed into the river with his cultivation sealed again, his only fate would be death.
Ling Han was slightly surprised as he looked over at Miao Yingwei. How had he attracted trouble again?
“I told you to come over here! Do you hear me?” Miao Yingwei chided.
Ling Han shook his head, muttering, “Dumb c*nt.”
“You’re seeking death!” Miao Yingwei said with a humph.
Whoosh!
With a shake of his right hand, a sword had already appeared in his grasp. He then unleashed a slash at Ling Han, with his Sword Qi transforming into a white tiger that roared as it lunged at Ling Han.
Ling Han frowned upon seeing this. This person had not only shouted at him, but he was even attacking him for no reason now. Did this person take him for a weakling?
With a bound, Ling Han instantly jumped off the bridge. He then threw a single punch.
Peng!
The ferocious tiger was instantly obliterated.
Miao Yingwei’s pupils instantly contracted. This Fifth Heaven Celestial King had actually been able to shatter his Sword Qi with a single punch! He was fairly powerful. However, Miao Yingwei didn’t think much about this. After all, that had only been a casual attack. It hadn’t been a true representation of his battle prowess.
“I’ll give you a chance. Immediately piss off and don’t dare to meet with this celestial maiden again. Otherwise, I’ll definitely have your head!” he said calmly. When referring to the “celestial maiden,” he shot a meaningful glance at the Empress.
Right now, the Empress had already engaged in an intense battle with the heavenly tribulation. Even so, she still appeared extremely graceful and beautiful, causing one’s heart to flutter.
Ling Han replied with an “oh.” As it turned out, it was the Empress’ stunning beauty that had attracted trouble to him. Since his relationship with the Empress, this had become an inevitability.
Ling Han shook his head with a smile, saying, “Which second-generation young master are you? Are you also going to use your father’s status to suppress me?”
