Chapter 994 Immortal Progenies’ Gathering, First Battle of Destiny, Yan Honghua Versus Lin Yan
Countless cultivators flocked over to Penglai Island to seek their Opportunities of Fortune.
On a cruising warship, there was a battalion of soldiers who were all there to escort a young man in a robe.
The man’s aura was unlike others. It felt high and mighty, with a strong hint of indescribable nobility. He was none other than the crown prince of the Great Yuan Divine Dynasty, one of the ancient immortal orthodoxies, Yuan Xu.
He was also one of the Twelve Kings of the Immortal Progenies.
In another warship was a young man with a saber, cultivating with his eyes closed and legs crossed. He was surrounded by swords, and every single one of them was broken.
There was a hint of gray energy lingering above the broken swords — it was the swords’ rage
qi!
The rageful sword qi was absorbed by the young man. The energy was used to nurture his Saber Dao and amplify his aura. He was the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Young Master, the Saber Lord! “Amitabha. Dear benefactors, it’s been a while.”
A mantra sounded, and a handsome monk in rugs smiled at everyone. He was an Immortal Progeny of Golden Ridge Temple.
Judging from his aura, he was no weaker than Hui Fa.
Unfortunately, barely anyone responded to him.
Only the young man with a saber on his back nodded at him.

The handsome monk was not discouraged or mad at the cold response. Instead, he continued to watch the situation carefully.
By then, all immortal orthodoxies had arrived, and almost all the Immortal Progenies were present.
Many cultivators who shared the scene were amazed by the grandness, and they all started to discuss.
“The Great Yuan Divine Dynasty’s Crown Prince, Dugu Yu from Spiritual Empyrean Mountain, the Little Arhat who is at the same rank as the Golden Ridge Temple’s fallen Holy Monk, and the Oceanic Sword Grave’s Saber Lord… Tsk tsk, they are all King Immortal Progenies.”
“They are indeed powerful. Hey, do you know if there’s a Fated One among them?”
“It is possible.”
“Look at the Saber Lord. Rumor has it that he was defeated by Chu Kuangren in a single blow. But after two short years, he has grown so much stronger and defeated a lot of swordsmen. He has even cultivated a strange technique that allows him to absorb the rage qi from swords to his benefit. He is already on the Immortal Path.”
“You should not mess with any of them.”
Buzz!
Suddenly, energy fluctuations occurred in the void.
Further away, a huge crimson warship zipped over in a flash. There was a huge and obvious mark of a flame on the ship.
“It’s the Holy Divine Fire Cult.”
“Look! That young man…”
Suddenly, someone squealed in shock.
At the front of the warship was a young man standing with his hands behind his back and a surge of terrifying Flame Source energy fluctuation emanating from him.
Five different Divine Flames were circulating him. It looked like he was stronger than Huoshen Huang, the previous First Divine Bachelor.
“He’s the new First Divine Bachelor, Lin Yan. He can control five different Divine Flames! That’s amazing!” “I heard he used to be an odd-job worker, but he somehow seized a huge Opportunity of Fortune, and his life took a huge turn. The cult noticed him and made him the First Divine Bachelor. However, I heard he’s ruthless. Those who insulted him before were burned for ten days and nights!”
“Ten days and nights? How is that possible?”
“I heard that in order to keep those people alive, he got a bunch of healing pills to heal them as he burned them. It went on for ten days straight.” “How sick…”
“Shhh, keep it down. He might hear you.”
The appearance of Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Lin Yu caused a commotion among the crowd.
Back at the Great Yuan Divine Dynasty’s warship, Yuan Xu felt something and turned in the direction of Lin Yan. He stared at the First Divine Bachelor, intrigued.
“His presence… Interesting. It seems like he’s my rival.”
Lin Yan felt the same, and he stared at Yuan Xu as well.
Hostility erupted from the exchange between the two.
Some noticed them locking eyes but were baffled by it. “They know each other?”
“That can’t be. One is the prestigious crown prince, and the other used to be an odd-job worker. Why would the two of them know each other?”
The crowd was confused.
Only the two of them knew what caused the hostility. “It seems like I’ve found myself a fated rival,” Lin Yan muttered.
The elderly beside him widened his eyes in surprise. “Is he a Fated One too? Yuan Xu is a Fated One?!”
“Yeah, I can sense the presence of the will on him,” Lin Yan said.
It was then that both Lin Yan and Yuan Xu sensed something. The two of them looked further away at the sea and saw a tiny boat riding the waves towards them.
On the boat were two ladies. One in an imperial outfit, looking elegant and pure, and another one in red, wielding a spear.
The lady in red had a valiant bearing, looking as strong as a man.
Yuan Xu and Lin Yan had their eyes on the lady in red.
“This presence… She’s also a Fated One.”
“Interesting. There’s another one.”
On the boat, Shang Honghua looked at the lady in the imperial outfit with slight dissatisfaction. “Teacher, the others arrived in warships, one looking grander and the other. But look at us with a tiny boat! This is embarrassing!” “I’m sorry I’m not rich. Please bear with me,” the lady said with a smile.
“It’s fine.” Annoyed, Shang Honghua pouted.
Leaving the thought behind, she scanned over all the Immortal Progenies but was disappointed at the end.
‘I didn’t see the King anywhere. Is he not here yet, or he doesn’t want to come?’
With a shake of her head, she discarded the thought. She then looked at Yuan Xu and Lin Yan before she smiled at her teacher. “Teacher, I think I’ve spotted the other Fated Ones. Do you think I should make a move now?”
“As you wish,” the lady said.
Shang Honghua put all of her concerns away after getting approval from her teacher. She lunged to the sky with her spear and a surge of violent source energy fluctuations scattered everywhere.
“Fated Ones, do you dare to answer my challenge?!”
Her provocation put a frown on Lin Yan and Yuan Xu.
‘Is she out of her mind? Why is she exposing her identity as a Fated One in public?’
‘Maybe she has a powerful support behind her.’ Regardless, neither of them answered the challenge.
“Oh? So the other Fated Ones are cowards, huh?” Shang Honghua scoffed. “This woman…!
Lin Yan and Yuan Xu furrowed their brows.
“Woman, you are playing with fire!”
Lin Yan’s eyes were cold as he fired the Divine Flames at her. The Divine Flames turned into a ferocious beast and lunged toward Shang Honghua.
Shang Honghua was not afraid of the divine fire’s might. She thrust her spear forward and crushed the blazing beasts.
Just like that, a battle between Shang Honghua and Lin Yan broke out.
It marked the first battle between the Fated Ones.
The two of them were evenly matched, and neither was giving in. Their power level had reached the level of a powerful Half-Immortal.
The crowd was in awe, and some other Immortal Progenies had grim looks on their faces.
“As expected of the Fated Ones.”
“This level of power… They are really something else.”
As the battle went on, one of the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Immortals grew restless and wanted to lend a hand.
However, before he could make a move, an indescribable pressure enveloped him, causing him to sweat nervously.
“This pressure…”
The Immortal stared further away at the sea.
The lady in the imperial outfit was staring back at him with a calm gaze, but the Immortal knew that should he make any reckless move, the lady would kill him in an instant.
A powerful Immortal!
The lady was definitely one of the strongest existences throughout Planquilon Immortal World!
Was she an Immortal from an ancient immortal orthodoxy?
