Chapter 3446 - A Legendary Heavenly Emperor

The Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses drew closer and closer, the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven grew livelier as well. Naturally, the lively places were only the place where the young geniuses were staying and the place where the Heavenly Emperors and the Title Temples were staying. The other parts of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven were still as quiet as usual.

Nevertheless, everyone in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven was looking forward to the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

At this moment, at the vast flatland where the young participants were staying, many people’s attention was focused on a young man who had just arrived. Their eyes were bright as they looked at the young man whom they had only heard about but had never met.

“That’s Xu Kun Hu. He’s the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Constant Cloud Heaven. I heard that he is already a top Three Star God of War despite only being over 800 years old.”

The young man was slender and looked frail. His appearance was androgynous and could be easily mistaken for a woman. With his long jet-black hair that was swept to the back, if he were not dressed in a man’s robe, he might have been mistaken for a woman. Even if he were mistaken for a woman, he would be mistaken for a stunning woman.

“So he’s Xu Kun Hu?”

“Heavens! Although he’s only over 800 years old, he’s already a Three Star God of War? There’s no doubt he’ll make it into the top 100 this time!”

“If he were luckier, the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses should begin in another 100 years. At that time, he would be even stronger. Perhaps, he’d be a Four Star God of War at that time.”

“Well, nothing can be done about this. The Devata Realms’ Battles of the Geniuses are fixed to happen once every 1,000 years. Nothing can change this.”

Upon sensing everyone’s gazes, Xu Kun Hu smiled at the crowd amiably. His charming smile captivated many people in just an instant.

“I… Why am I infatuated with a man?”

“Heavens! Is he really a man?”

The commotion only died down after Xu Kun Hu entered a wooden house.

Not long after, someone cried out, “Look! Is that Meng Fan Gui, the strongest person among the younger generation in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven’s heaven-grade Profound Dream Sect?”

With that, everyone’s eyes fell on a black-clad young man who possessed a pair of exceptionally bright eyes despite his average height and average appearance.

“That’s Meng Fan Gui? He killed a top Three Star God of War a few decades ago, right?”

“It’s so hard to believe he’s not even 1,000 years old. Rumors have it that he’s already a Four Star God of War.”

“A Four Star God of War? That’ll easily allow him to enter the top 30 right?”

Meng Fan Gui garnered even more attention compared to Xu Kun Hu. Perhaps, he was not as famous as Xu Kun Hu in the past. However, after he killed a top Three Star God of War, his fame had skyrocketed. In fact, he had become even more famous than Xu Kun Hu.

In comparison to Xu Kun Hu, Meng Fan Gui was rather aloof. He ignored the commotion around him and entered a wooden house directly.

“The Profound Dream Sect that Meng Fan Gui comes from is skilled at illusory techniques. Coupled with the mysterious law of darkness, I believe Meng Fan Gui should be the best in using illusions among all the participants of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.”

“That’s right. I can only imagine how powerful he is. After all, not many people can kill a Three Star God of War with just illusory techniques.”

“Don’t be so certain. There are so many Devata Realms. Moreover, even descendants and disciples of powerful hermits will be participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. You can’t say for sure that he’s the best at illusory techniques…”

“You’re right. Moreover, there are the mysterious young geniuses from the Title Temple. Not much is known about them as well…”

“If you think about it, in the past, most of the people who performed brilliantly during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses were not known.”

As more and more participants arrived, the participants’ living area grew livelier and livelier. Naturally, those who were busily socializing and gossiping were mostly of average strength. They did not aim to rank high and only participated to join the fun and gain experience.

Needless to say, these people were only considered average among the rare geniuses. After all, they were still selected by their respective Title Temples to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. All of them had strength almost comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor at the very least. Otherwise, they would not have been selected.

These average participants thought it was better to socialize and perhaps, get acquainted with the top geniuses. After all, there was no chance for them ranking high in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. They might as well focus on meeting these geniuses whom they had only heard about but had never met.

When these people are in their respective territories, they were usually envied by others. Currently, they were the ones who were feeling envious.

“Hey, that’s Tuoba Zheng, the third true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Spirit Overarching Heaven!”

Everyone turned to look at a tall and handsome young man with a well-built body.

“Tuoba Zheng is already a Four Star God of War despite being younger than 1,000 years old!”

“Twenty years ago, someone saw him kill two Three Star Gods of War consecutively in the Nine Serenities Battlefield… Although the two Three Star Gods of War did not join forces, it still proves Tuoba Zheng is a Four Star God of War.”

“How remarkable! That’s why he’s a true disciple of a Heavenly Emperor!”

Soon after, someone spoke up, changing the direction of the conversation immediately.

“Speaking of Heavenly Emperor’s true disciples, I’m most interested in the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”

“Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang of the Solitary Destructive Heaven is the most popular Heavenly Emperor now. Everyone was shocked when he emerged unscathed from the Asura Hell and was further shocked when he accepted his first true disciple…”

“After emerging from the Asura Hell, he rose to third place on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking. It seems likely the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven who used to be ranked third acknowledged Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s strength since he didn’t dispute the new ranking.”

“Senior Feng Qing Yang is also known as the Invincible Sword Celestial in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. However, those from other Devata Realms, he’s known as a legendary figure since it took him only about 10,000 years to reach such great heights.”

“That’s right! If the rumors are true, he attained godhood in just about 10,000 years. There’s only a handful who were capable of this in the history of all Devata Realms…”

“I wonder if Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple has arrived.”

At this time, those who arrived earlier began to chime in one after another.

“He’s arrived, but he hasn’t left the wooden house since he arrived!”

“What’s he like? He must be remarkable since Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang accepted him as his true disciple!”

“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang only accepted him because he came across Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s legacy in a mundane realm. You can say he’s just really lucky. Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang probably felt sentimental and accepted him as a true disciple.”

“He’s only over 600 years old now. Even if he’s highly talented, how powerful can he be? It’s impossible for someone so young to achieve anything during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.”

With these words, many people fell silent. They did not expect the legendary Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang of the Solitary Destructive Heaven would accept someone so unremarkable as his true disciple. Moreover, he only accepted his true disciple based on chance. Many people sighed in disappointment.

“As it turns out, there’s not much to look forward to regarding Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple…”

“I thought Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple would be someone incredibly remarkable. Who knew it’d turn out like this?”

“What a waste!”
