Chapter 1 Arousal

The sound resonated, instantly drawing countless gazes.

Upon a mountain cliff, a figure slowly materialized.

This person was garbed in a Seven Stars Robe, barely twenty years of age, with handsome features and a refined air.

"Yaoguang?"

"It's Real Person Yaoguang."

"Real Person Yaoguang has also come?"

"The Seven Stars Ancient Sect's strongest prodigy, Real Person Yaoguang?"

In an instant, voices arose, and the crowd was astonished, never expecting it to be Real Person Yaoguang.

A representative prodigy of Central Continent.

Yaoguang’s name was indeed very resounding; he was hailed as Central Continent’s tenth Holy Son.

Because Wan Chu Holy Land had no Holy Son, there were so-called Nine Great Holy Sons, yet many who knew Yaoguang would respectfully address him as Holy Son Yaoguang.

Relying not on connections, but on true strength.

He was very powerful, standing on the mountain cliff, gazing at Zhang Yuanru, his tone very calm, yet the surrounding area manifested a sky full of stars, showcasing his extraordinariness.

"Greetings, Brother Xu, Greetings, Brother Li."

Real Person Yaoguang stood on the cliff, greeting the Holy Son of Shu and the Holy Son of Zi Qing.

"Greetings, Brother Yaoguang."

The two also spoke in unison; although Real Person Yaoguang was not a true Holy Son, his strength was indeed very strong, and naturally, he deserved this title.

"Yaoguang, is it? I have heard of you; you have some prestige, a bit better than these two."

Zhang Yuanru spoke, looking at Real Person Yaoguang, saying it in this manner.

"The two Holy Sons simply did not want to exert their full strength; Brother Zhang's strength is extraordinary, but in Central Continent, it is indeed a bit much."

Real Person Yaoguang spoke, his attitude very clear, maintaining Central Continent's honor.

"Oh? Too much? How is it too much? Where is it too much? Doesn't Central Continent always advocate for strength? If strength is not enough, it is not enough; if you are strong, you are strong; if you are weak, you are weak; why make so many excuses?"

Zhang Yuanru replied calmly, but these words were full of sharp edges.

"Since that's the case, then Yaoguang would like to request some pointers."

Real Person Yaoguang slowly said.

"Come, if you dare!"

Zhang Yuanru was incomparably confident, but he indeed had the capital to be confident.

Rumble!

In an instant, Real Person Yaoguang made his move, the Big Dipper Seven Stars appearing behind him, terrifying stellar power surging forth, stars swirling, transforming into ten thousand divine rays. This was the Seven Stars Ancient Art, communicating with the seven ancient stars, deducing supreme divine abilities.

The seven ancient stars swirled, transforming into stellar armor, shattering a great mountain with one strike.

Bang!

Zhang Yuanru condensed a Dao Pagoda, forcibly withstanding this attack, yet Real Person Yaoguang was indeed strong; this strike made the Dao Pagoda emit rumbling sounds, almost shattering.

"Good!"

"Worthy of being Brother Yaoguang."

"Wonderful!"

"Add oil, Brother Yaoguang, suppress the arrogance of this group!"

Voices resounded, and the cultivators of Central Continent instantly puffed out their chests; they cheered and encouraged him.

After all, this was Central Continent's territory, and the usual private grievances were nothing; what needed to be done now was to suppress the foreign cultivators.

This battle was very fierce; Real Person Yaoguang used the Seven Stars Dao Arts, evolving the seven stars, clad in stellar armor, unafraid of any attacks, making his attacks even more violent, each punch like a great star bombarding.

Fist to fist, striking Zhang Yuanru's Dao Pagoda.

Zhang Yuanru was beaten back again and again; the two of them swept across five hundred li, destroying countless mountains and rivers. Fortunately, the area near Bright Moon Ancient City was all barren mountains, and no innocents were harmed.

Their great battle was extremely exciting.

At the end of the battle, Real Person Yaoguang condensed seven great stars in his fists and palms, illuminating ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, showcasing an invincible posture.

Zhang Yuanru truly felt the pressure.

He retreated again and again, the Dao Pagoda swaying, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.

Boom!

As the great battle intensified, Real Person Yaoguang's fist light was invincible, the Seven Stars Ancient Fist opened and closed, striking out with world-shaking brilliance. He did his best, spirit, energy, and essence uniting, bombarding Zhang Yuanru's Dao Pagoda.

The rumbling sound was deafening, like the explosion of heavenly thunder.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Zhang Yuanru's Dao Pagoda crumbled, piece by piece disintegrating, finally losing all its radiance.

Inside the ancient city, everyone watched this great battle, everyone held their breath, and when they saw the result, cheers erupted in an instant.

"Good! Real Person Yaoguang is indeed the Tenth Holy Son."

"Holy Son Yaoguang is invincible!"

"The Seven Stars Ancient Sect truly produced a peerless prodigy."

"This is too strong; condensing the seven stars, breaking all laws with force."

"Hmph, is he very strong? I'm not bragging, but if this punch hit me, I would die on the spot."

"Still want another punch? I estimate that the fist wind alone could kill me."

"Hmph, aren't you Eastern Land cultivators arrogant? Continue to be arrogant?"

"Eastern Land cultivators are nothing more than this."

Voices rang out; Real Person Yaoguang defeating Zhang Yuanru was a great joy for the cultivators of Central Continent.

The cultivators of Central Continent cheered; these days, they had indeed been suppressed; clearly, this was Central Continent's territory, but they were suppressed by a group of Eastern Land cultivators, and they naturally did not accept it.

However, just at this moment, a voice came from within the ancient city.

"Brother Zhang, don't hide it; quickly resolve this, the wine and dishes are going to get cold."

As this voice rang out.

In an instant, Bright Moon Ancient City was incomparably silent.

And above the void five hundred li away.

Zhang Yuanru smiled.

He looked at Real Person Yaoguang, then nodded and said, "Very good, you were actually able to shatter the pagoda I condensed with thirty percent of my Dao Arts, but it ends here."

Zhang Yuanru's tone was calm.

However, the next moment, as a rumble sounded.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within a thousand li was instantly drawn away, replaced by eighty-one ancient divine lights evolving behind Zhang Yuanru.

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

An even more dazzling pagoda appeared. This pagoda had ninety-nine eighty-one layers, was a full thousand zhang in size, and was lifelike, surrounded by the light of the Great Dao, blooming with ten thousand divine rays, appearing extremely terrifying and extraordinary.

The pagoda appeared, suppressing a million li of mountains and rivers, the space solidified, as heavy as an ancient divine mountain, too terrifying.

This was Zhang Yuanru's true strength.

More than ten times stronger than before?

Rumble!

The pagoda shook, ten thousand divine rays killing towards Real Person Yaoguang.

The latter frowned, and in an instant, seven terrifying great stars appeared, resisting the ten thousand divine rays.

Then he extracted himself and returned outside Bright Moon Ancient City.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and soon his voice rang out.

"I concede!"

Real Person Yaoguang was very direct, directly conceding, without any hesitation.

In an instant, the faces of the cultivators of Central Continent turned ugly again.

Real Person Yaoguang, hailed as the Tenth Holy Son, had also lost.

This was not a good thing.

Casting a shadow over this gathering of prodigies.

"You are indeed very strong; calling you the Tenth Holy Son is somewhat insulting. If you ask me, you should be the First Holy Son, much stronger than these Holy Sons who are all show and no substance. Moreover, you are hiding a trump card, unwilling to truly fight, but even if you exert your full strength, you cannot defeat me, because I still have a trump card."

Zhang Yuanru said condescendingly.

He acknowledged Real Person Yaoguang's strength, even fully knowing that Real Person Yaoguang was still hiding a trump card, but he was extremely confident.

Believing that even if Real Person Yaoguang truly went all out, he could not defeat him.

However, Real Person Yaoguang did not answer.

Just calmly looking at the other party.

"Ten Great Holy Sons, I have already defeated three in a row; the remaining seven, except for Holy Maiden Linglong, do the rest of you want to try again? So as to avoid any more dissenting voices."

Zhang Yuanru was high above, extremely confident.

He had defeated three Holy Sons in a row.

It was indeed very exaggerated.

Just then, an incomparably pleasant voice rang out.

Causing a sensation.

"Why... must you exclude me?"

It was the voice of Holy Maiden Linglong.
