"There are four spots on the stage, and you Three Kings of Chaos occupy three, who is meant for the vacant one?" someone spoke out.
As this person spoke, many powerful figures noticed that there were four high chairs on the massive stage; the Three Kings were seated in three of them, leaving one high chair unoccupied.
Could it be that the Three Kings of Chaos had a powerful ally?
"Haha, you didn't mention it, and I almost forgot!" the War King burst into loud laughter, summoning Ye Chen, who was amidst the crowd of heroes. "Ye lad, hurry over to your second grandpa, join us in battling these heroes of the ten directions!"
Wu Jingxia let out a long howl and looked toward Ye Chen, who was mingling among the crowd of heroes, and many of the mighty followed the War King's gaze.
Ye Chen, noticing the gazes of the heroes on him, put on a stiff smile. Wu Jingxia's call was almost like pushing him into a pit of fire.
All heroes of the ten directions were converging here, and even though he had advanced to the late stages of Grandmaster, and his strength had surged, his background could not match the supreme power of those on the Qingyun List. If he were to go up on the stage and wait for all the heroes of the world to battle him, he would probably be beaten to death.
However, with no easy way of backing down, Ye Chen found himself the focus of all the heroes' gazes. Should he show the slightest hint of timidity, his martial path would also crumble.
"Second Grandpa, your grandson is coming!" Ye Chen said with composure.
Initially, Ye Chen felt somewhat nervous, but seeing the Three Kings of Chaos gave him peace of mind; if the sky fell, there would be three grandpas to bear it!
"..."
Fang Ruolan's face showed a peculiar expression, thinking that without her master's intervention, Ye Chen would probably meet his doom.
With their matchless martial prowess, the Three Kings of Chaos were among the strongest on the Qingyun List. Heroes would hesitate to battle them on the stage.
However, Ye Chen was far too young, unable to conceal his youthful vigor. If he were to climb onto the grand stage as well, he would likely be singled out by the heroes for battle, and this fellow would be beaten to death right there on the stage!
"Eh? A youngster, with such exuberant vitality, I fear he's no more than twenty years old; has this child achieved the rank of martial master?" Some Peerless Grandmasters, upon seeing the real Ye Chen, couldn't help but express their surprise.
There were four places on the colossal stage, with each of the Three Kings of Chaos occupying one. The crowd had thought the vacant place was reserved for a powerful ally the Kings had invited, but it turned out to be intended for a green youth!
Some of the old monsters here were approaching a century in age, their bodies beginning to wither and decay, and even the peak-level heroes were mostly in their fifties or sixties. The youngest Grandmasters were around forty; in this gathering of old folk, Ye Chen in his early twenties stood out jarringly.
"Martial master?"
Ye Chen calmly met the gaze of the mighty crowd with a hint of pride on his face; a powerful aura brewed within him.
If he did not make a sound, he would not be noticed, but once he did, it would be a revelation!
Ye Chen had been silent for a long time, but now he was finally ready to erupt!
"Not right! This youth, he seems extremely terrifying, is he a Grandmaster-level figure?"
At last, some of the strong recognized Ye Chen's extraordinariness, and they became somewhat uneasy. It seemed like a prehistoric beast was lurking within the body of this young man; once it unleashed, it could wreak havoc on heaven and earth, giving them chills!
"Almost all the heroes of the world have gathered here; I must fight a battle that will astonish the heavens, and let my name be known throughout this world!" Ye Chen's body radiated an unmatched elegance.
The Three Kings of Chaos were boundlessly powerful, inviting heroes from all directions to lay down the grand stage, waiting for the heroes of the world to come and fight.
Ye Chen's background, even if not as profound as the Kings, was not so easily crushed by anyone!
Ye Chen was ready to fight, to carve out a vast realm for himself!
The crowd of heroes looked at Ye Chen with surprise; a confident, indomitable spirit shone on the young man's face.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura burst forth from among the crowd of heroes, as a vigorous energy surged from Ye Chen's body into the sky, extremely dazzling and highly conspicuous.
"This is the energy that pierces the heavens, a symbol of a Grandmaster. Could this youngster be a Grandmaster?!"
"Impossible, how could this energy be so powerful!"
"Not only is this child a Grandmaster, but he is also a Peerless Grandmaster, just one step away from becoming a pinnacle Grandmaster!"
"How old is this young man?"
Ye Chen unleashed his power without any reservations, intending to shock all the heroes present; he needed to display his most formidable stance!
The overwhelming outburst from Ye Chen shocked all the heroes present with its proud and dominant force.
The energy that Ye Chen released, even if not quite at the level of 'energy as dragons,' was not far off, signifying that even if he wasn't a match for those on the Qingyun List, he would not be much weaker!
Beneath those on the Qingyun List were the proud and lofty Peerless Grandmasters of their generation!
This young man, Ye Chen, had been doubted just a moment ago for his achievements in martial arts mastery. Yet now, he suddenly erupted as a Peerless Grandmaster, turning everything on its head to such a severe degree that it left the crowd of heroes somewhat disoriented with shock.
However, what shocked the crowd of heroes the most was his age; Ye Chen was just too young!
How many people of such a young age have ever achieved the status of Peerless Grandmaster throughout history?
Even the Three Kings of the age of chaos could not help but be moved. They knew Ye Chen had demonstrated astonishing feats, but they had never imagined that he had advanced to the late stages of a Grandmaster!
The Land God King looked at the radiant Ye Chen, his heart filled with many questions. Ye Chen was indeed at the late stage of a Grandmaster, but his energy was so abundant that it scarcely seemed inferior to that of a pinnacle Grandmaster; this was truly against all reason!
Even the Land God King, who had seen countless heroes, had never come across such an extraordinary existence as Ye Chen!
At such a young age and with such accomplishments; surely, even figures like one emperor, two kings, three heroes, and four prodigies at this stage would be somewhat inferior, right?
"I am Ye Chen, taking the fourth seat!"
Under the attentive gaze of the crowd, Ye Chen got up and, with a leap, landed on the grand arena, scanning the multitude of heroes.
"Youngster, how old are you this year?" asked a peerless figure.
"Twenty-three!" Ye Chen replied, holding his head high.
"What, you're only twenty-three years old and you've achieved the status of Peerless Grandmaster?"
Ye Chen's answer was like a hammer striking hard on the hearts of some, delivering a massive shock.
In fact, even if Ye Chen did not reveal his age, the crowd could gauge through the energy he exuded, but they truly did not want to admit that such a naturally gifted individual could exist in the world!
A twenty-three-year-old Peerless Grandmaster was truly terrifying!
If Ye Chen continued to advance at this pace, becoming a Land God would not be out of the question, and he might even leap to become a supreme being surpassing the gods!
"Youngster, under which great deity did you study?"
"Yes, Ye Chen, who is your master?"
"..."
Ye Chen's sensational debut made the crowd of heroes boil with excitement.
Such characters are rarely seen throughout the ages; now one had emerged right in front of them, how could the heroes not be thrilled?!
