Chapter 3453 - You’re Not Worthy

As words began to spread among the crowd, more and more people turned to look at Situ Zhuqing, the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven.

However, Situ Zhuqing remained unbothered and fearless. At this moment, she suddenly shifted her gaze to Duan Ling Tian.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian speculated someone must have informed her about his identity through Voice Transmission. He met her gaze fearlessly and sneered.

Following that, an indifferent woman’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “You must be Duan Ling Tian. I’m Situ Zhuqing, the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven. You’re the reason for the conflict between me and your master, Feng Qing Yang. If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t find you, the Saint Province Realm wouldn’t have been implicated. How about this? If you persuade your master to let this matter slide, I won’t hold you accountable for killing my daughter as well…”

Duan Ling Tian was briefly stunned. When he regained his senses, he replied through Voice Transmission, “Heavenly Emperor Situ Zhuqing, what can you do even if you hold me accountable? Do you dare to attack me?”

Duan Ling Tian did not believe Situ Zhuqing would attack him, especially with so many people around. Although his master had yet to make an appearance, the people here would not watch and let her attack him; this included the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven.

Not only was Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, the host for the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses this time, but he was also a good friend of Feng Qing Yang. He was also ranked fourth on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking, which meant he was stronger than Situ Zhuqing and Zhou Bing Wu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven, who was sitting next to Situ Zhuqing. Zhou Bing Wu was only ranked fifth after all.

Situ Zhuqing said threateningly through Voice Transmission, “Brat, do you think you can stay by Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s side and hide in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven forever?”

Duan Ling Tian laughed. “Heavenly Emperor Situ Zhuqing, did it not cross your mind that you might not be able to leave this place alive once you show up? Are you unaware that my master is in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven as well?”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian sent his Voice Transmission, a commotion broke out among the crowd.

“It’s Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang of the Solitary Destructive Heaven!”

“I finally get to see the legendary Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven! He’s just as the rumor said; he’s handsome and mighty!”

“It’s said that Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang is the youngest among all the Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms.”

“Not only that but he only ascended to a Devata Realm about 10,000 years ago!”

“He’s really terrifying to have achieved so many things in just 10,000 years!”

10,000 years was not a long time for a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm. After all, a Heavenly Emperor had lived for tens of thousands of years; some even lived for more than 100,000 years or a few hundred thousand years.

Cultivation would only get progressively more difficult. For example, the young geniuses who participated in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. Every Battle of the Geniuses would have monstrously talented participants who were Five Star Gods of War under the age of 1,000. However, most of these monstrous talents would gradually stop progressing as time passed. Even after tens of thousands of years had passed, their improvements were slight. Only a small number managed to improve continuously.

Similarly, some cultivators had remarkable comprehension skills in the early stages in regard to comprehending the laws. However, after comprehending the laws to a certain stage, they would reach a bottleneck. For example, some titled Celestial Emperors could fairly easily fuse three fused profundities, but they were unable to fuse the fourth fused profundities even after they spent tens of thousands of years trying.

Meanwhile, the crowd continued to discuss heatedly among themselves when they saw Feng Qing Yang hovering wordlessly in front of the floating island for a moment where Situ Zhuqing and Zhou Bing Wu were sitting. Feng Qing Yang was looking at Situ Zhuqing coldly.

“The legendary Heavenly Emperor has been looking at the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven since his arrival.”

“It seems like they haven’t resolved their conflict.”

“To think the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven dares to show up here. Does she have a death wish?”

At this moment, Feng Qing Yang’s icy voice resounded clearly through the venue even though his volume was not loud.

“Situ Zhuqing, how dare you show up after hiding for so many years…”

“Master.” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up.

While Situ Zhuqing looked at Feng Qing Yang fearfully, the burly middle-aged man sitting next to her rose to his feet and said, “Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang.”

The burly middle-aged man was none other than Zhou Bing Wu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven who was ranked fifth on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking, behind Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven.

Ding Fu who was ranked third previously fell to fourth place after Feng Qing Yang returned from the Asura Hell, one of the deadliest places in the Devata Realms.

Zhou Bing Wu looked at Feng Qing Yang and said politely, “I’ve heard of the enmity between you and the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven. The conflict arose because your disciple killed her daughter. At that time, she let her anger get the best of her, resulting in her killing many inhabitants in the mundane realm you came from…”

After listening to Zhou Bing Wu’s words, Feng Qing Yang glanced at him and asked, “Do you intend to protect her?”

Zhou Bing Wu replied with a smile on his face, “Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, I hope you’ll let the matter slide for my sake…”

“For your sake?” Feng Qing Yang’s eyes glinted coldly. “Who do you think you are?”

The crowd did not expect Feng Qing Yang to be so domineering with his words. Although Zhou Bing Wu was ranked fifth, the gap between their strength should not be too wide. They could not help but wonder if the rumor of Feng Qing Yang attaining godhood was true.

Even Duan Ling Tian was shocked. He did not expect his master who was always kind and friendly to him had this domineering side as well.

Situ Zhuqing and Zhou Bing Wu’s expressions changed drastically. Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, are you trying to start a fight?”

As soon as Zhou Bing Wu’s voice fell, a scorching aura suddenly surged out from his body and shrouded the floating island before spreading to every corner of the battleground.

“Start a fight?”

Apart from Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, the other Heavenly Emperors widened their eyes imperceptibly when they realized a fight might break out at any moment.

“Do you think you’re worthy?” Feng Qing Yang asked nonchalantly.

Silent descended as soon as Feng Qing Yang finished speaking.

The legendary Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was truly domineering!

At this time, Tang San Pao, who was sitting behind Duan Ling Tian, said excitedly, “Brother Duan, your master is so domineering and cool! As expected of my idol!”

At the same time, Zhang Tian You and the others were staring at their Heavenly Emperor, the Invincible Sword Celestial, rapturously.

Wei Qi, the Skeletal Dragon Celestial Emperor, who was standing behind Ding Fung, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, said in shock, “Master, I didn’t expect Junior Feng Feng to have this side to him as well.”

“I didn’t expect this either…” Ding Fung shook his head and said with a sigh, “Little Brother Feng has always been courteous with me. Although I’ve heard he previously killed a Heavenly Emperor because of the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, I didn’t expect him to be domineering and unyielding. Every generation has a new group of heroes who replace the old…”

Feng Qing Yang was more than 100,000 years younger than Ding Fu. In the early years, when Ding Fu dominated the Nine Serenities Battlefield with many disciples following him, Feng Qing Yang was not even born yet in the mundane realm. Nevertheless, this young legendary Heavenly Emperor who was only slightly over 10,000 years old had surpassed him.

Similarly, the other Heavenly Emperors present on the scene were shocked by Feng Qing Yang. For him to be so confident, they wondered if he had truly attained godhood.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bing Wu’s expression was extremely unsightly as he said, “Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, rumor has it that you’ve already attained godhood… I’d like to find out for myself if it’s true!”

At the end of his words, Zhou Bing Wu flew up. Flames surged from his body, as bright and hot as the sun. A heatwave rolled into the surroundings, trapping the crowd in extreme heat.

Everyone could feel Zhou Bing Wu’s terrifying aura. It felt as though anything or anyone who came in contact with him would melt at this moment.

“Like I said earlier, you’re not worthy…” Feng Qing Yang shook his head. Following that, a mustard energy surged from his body and transformed into a giant sword.

Everyone was confused upon seeing the mustard energy.

“That’s… Isn’t that the law of earth?”

“I thought he specialized in the law of destruction?”

“He’s going to use the law of earth against the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven?”
