Gu Yi Fan is an exceptional talent revered wherever he goes, held in high esteem, with the older generation showing deference to him.

However, with Ye Chen's arrival, his dignity was completely lost. Not only he could no longer show off, he was utterly humiliated.

Gu Yi Fan was adept at putting on airs, but Ye Chen's aura far surpassed his. Since he couldn't outshine Ye Chen with pretense, he had no choice but to resolve the matter with force.

Gu Yi Fan had great confidence in his cultivation. His combat prowess was supreme, nearly rivaling ancient prodigies. Suppressing a mere Ye Chen should be a piece of cake, right?

"I'm being serious!" Ye Chen looked at Gu Yi Fan and said. "Do not challenge me, or I will crush you!"

Gu Yi Fan was a remarkable figure, on par with Luo Badao, Jin Pengzi, and Qing Luo.

But, Jin Pengzi was killed by Ye Chen, Luo Badao was crippled by Ye Chen, and Qing Luo was seduced by Ye Chen. Gu Yi Fan...he was destined to be a tragic figure!

"Are you insulting me?" Gu Yi Fan said angrily.

"Wrong!" Ye Chen extended a finger and lightly shook it. "I'm not insulting you, I'm ignoring you!"

"..."

Gu Yi Fan looked at Ye Chen angrily, his hands shaking with rage, speechless in frustration.

"Ye Chen, be polite, our guest deserves respect!"

As the atmosphere grew tense and the gathered prodigies held their breath, Qin Yan's gentle voice intervened, urging Ye Chen not to stir up trouble.

"Ye Chen, have we met before?"

At that moment, Wan Shixiong suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with an intense light as he looked at Ye Chen, a sense of grave familiarity overcoming him.

"Have we met?" Ye Chen said calmly. "Before discussing that, introduce yourself first."

"Wan Shixiong!" Wan Shixiong said in a deep voice.

"God Demon Overlord Physique?" Ye Chen said. "I've heard of you, but I haven't seen you!"

Wan Shixiong was an extremely strong figure, not weaker than Gu Yi Fan, and on the same level as Jin Pengzi and Luo Badao.

When Ye Chen transformed into the Heavenly Emperor, he once defeated Wan Shixiong and nearly killed him.

Perhaps because of this, Wan Shixiong had a profound impression of him, feeling a sense of familiarity.

However, Ye Chen's identity was a top secret; how could it be easily revealed?

"You know I am the God Demon Overlord Physique, but you haven't seen me?" Wan Shixiong said.

"The God Demon Overlord Physique is extremely terrifying. Once cultivated, it can transform into a Primordial God Demon and sweep across the heavens and earth!" Ye Chen said.

"However, even if you transform into a Primordial God Demon, you are no match for me! So, do not challenge me, or I will kill you!"

Wan Shixiong: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"Ye Chen, be polite, our guest deserves respect!" Leng Aofu said in a low voice to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's arrogance had offended not just Gu Yi Fan, but now Wan Shixiong as well. If this continued, Ye Chen would become an enemy to the entire world!

"I'm not fooling around!" Ye Chen said.

"You?" Leng Aofu was stunned.

Ye Chen's demeanor seemed off, it was as if he had become a different person, exuding a sharp, unrestrained aura.

"Today marks my rise, I will no longer restrain my sharpness!" Ye Chen said to Leng Aofu, his eyes narrowing seriously.

"..."

Leng Aofu looked at Ye Chen, her heart trembling.

At this moment, Ye Chen was exuding unparalleled confidence and an invincible aura, as though he had transformed into someone entirely different from his former self!

"I killed Jin Pengzi, crippled Luo Badao, and disabled the Saintess Heavenly Fire… I have crushed countless geniuses, even defeated Saints!" Ye Chen's voice echoed through the heavens, no longer limited to a small conversation, but for everyone to hear. "So, do not provoke me, or the consequences will be dire!"

"..."

Thousands of cultivators were gathered, conversing and acquainting themselves. Suddenly, Ye Chen's voice rang out, stunning everyone.

"Is this man Ye Chen?" All eyes turned to Ye Chen. "Ye Chen said he killed Jin Pengzi and defeated the invincible Saints. Is he out of his mind?"

"What is Ye Chen up to?"

Leng Aofu stared at Ye Chen in shock, her face full of surprise, unsure of what he intended.

"I have already made a name for myself in the Void Realm, but some wish to suppress me, prevent me from soaring into the heavens, and thus hidden everything, not letting my name spread across the lands!"

"However, I am like a divine dragon destined to roam the nine heavens; how can I be suppressed?"

"Today, I will oppose the whole world, defeat everyone, ascend the throne of glory, and become invincible in the world!"

"Now, I no longer need to hide anything, because my strength speaks for itself. No one can suppress me!"

Ye Chen draped in a Nine Dragon Robe, stood alone, exuding an unparalleled aura of invincibility.

As he spoke, his eyes radiated arrogance as he looked at Leng Aofu, at Feng Wu, at Qin Yan, at Gu Yi Fan, at Wan Shixiong, at Hua Chang, at Zi Feng...at everyone present, even at the nine heavens, directly at the Saints.

"..."

Ye Chen possessed an overwhelming aura, able to face even Saints with composure, oppressing everyone to the point where they could hardly breathe.

"How can he be so audacious?" The world's heroes looked at Ye Chen, revealing a look of astonishment and shock.

Ye Chen seemed to be in a monologue, recounting his experiences and expressing all his feelings.

Yet, Ye Chen's words implied far too much; not only did he admit to killing Jin Pengzi, but he also claimed to have defeated a Saint?

"Once the Saints summon, I shall ascend the Nine Heavens!"

"I, Ye Chen, accept any challenge. Champions of today may come, ancient prodigies may come, invincible Saints... As long as you can lower your dignity, Ye Chen will always be ready!"

Ye Chen's voice was like the Great Dao descending into the mortal world, echoing through all known realms, and everyone heard it.

"What!" A cultivator's expression changed drastically, completely shocked. "Ye Chen wants to challenge the entire world, is he mad?"

"Not only does he declare war on the contemporary prodigies, but he also provokes the ancient geniuses, and he doesn't even spare the Saints. How can Ye Chen be so bold, does he truly think himself invincible?"

At this moment, inside and outside Baihua Palace, hundreds of thousands of cultivators were all in an uproar.

Ye Chen's voice spread in all directions, everyone heard it, not only the cultivators inside the palace but also those outside.

Thus, Ye Chen's words caused an avalanche and tsunami, plunging everyone into shock.

Was Ye Chen really declaring war on the entire world?!

"This child's edge is too sharp, it seems he wants to pierce through the heavens!"

Above the Nine Heavens, a group of Saints looked at each other, all breaking out in disbelief, astonished by Ye Chen's performance.

As soon as Ye Chen appeared, he showcased his edge, declared war on the world, and stirred everyone's nerves, astonishing even the Saints.

"What kind of experiences does Ye Chen have, why does he seem like a Primordial Supreme, destined to rise invincibly?"

Ye Chen's unrestrained madness shocked everyone, making them infinitely curious about his existence.

Moreover, Ye Chen's sudden shocking words left Wan Shixiong, Gu Yi Fan, and others dumbfounded.

Ye Chen was just talking with them, how did he suddenly explode the scene, challenging the world?

Moreover, Ye Chen's declaration of war on the world not only targets the contemporary prodigies but also provokes the ancient geniuses and violates the Saints' dignity. Isn't he afraid of death?

"Everyone!"

At this time, an invincible Saint's might spread across the world, Saint Jue Qing descended from the Nine Heavens.

"Saint!"

Jue Qing exuded boundless Saintly might, like a progenitor of all beings, making everyone solemn, paying their respects.

Saints are the strongest existence in all worlds, revered as gods by cultivators, each one immortal and mighty beyond comprehension!

Saint Jue Qing was an invincible powerhouse, shaking the ten continents. Seeing her, all cultivators naturally performed the rites of enlightenment.

Saints are revered like this, supreme and unparalleled!

"Baihua Palace is about to bestow the title of Saint Heir, the first ever in history!" Saint Jue Qing said. "This bestowal of the Saint Heir breaks the tradition of Baihua Palace, overturns its rules, marking a historic moment for Baihua Palace, and I thank you all for attending the ceremony!"

Jue Qing's figure materialized in the Nine Heavens, allowing hundreds of thousands of cultivators to witness the proceedings of the ceremony.

"The Saint Heir being bestowed by Baihua Palace is the arrogant young man just now... Ye Chen!"

Saint Jue Qing's voice resounded through heaven and earth, her words filled with pride as if she was proud of Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen's arrogance is astonishing, daring to declare war on the world, even challenging the Saints!"

"In response, I should have scolded him, punished him, taught him humility and awe!"

"However, words once spoken, like water once spilled, cannot be taken back even if I kill him!"

"Rather than punishing Ye Chen's arrogance, I will let him fulfill his promise, let him face the world's enemies and see how he shines!"

"Hence, I will not punish Ye Chen; I will supervise his completion of the challenge, to fight against the heroes of the world!"

Ye Chen's shocking words not only displayed his supremacy but also dared to challenge the Saints, shocking hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

However, Saint Jue Qing did not punish him, instead, she seemed somewhat pleased, as if she favored Ye Chen's style.

The words of Jue Qing were inspiring, but everyone knew her partiality, she seemed intent on nurturing Ye Chen, hoping to make him famous worldwide as the pillar of Baihua Palace!

"..."

Saint Jue Qing delivered a rousing speech, saying some official statements. But all eyes turned away from her, focusing on Ye Chen!

This guy, what divine qualities does he possess that make a Saint support him so?

"Ye Chen!"

Suddenly, Saint Jue Qing looked at Ye Chen, the young genius she valued.

"Disciple is here!" Ye Chen replied.

"Go, ascend to the Nine Heavens, start your path to invincibility!" Saint Jue Qing said. "As long as you can defeat powerful enemies, leaving none undefeated, you shall ascend to the position of Saint Heir!"

During the Ascension Ceremony of the Saint Heir, one must accept the challenge of the heroes to prove themselves worthy of the position!

Such challenges are usually a formality, rarely involving real combat.

However, some wanted to suppress Ye Chen, aiming to suppress Baihua Palace, turning this formality into reality, filled with bloodshed and slaughter!

"Palace Master, as long as I sweep through invincible, seated on that throne, I shall become the Saint Heir?" Ye Chen looked towards the Nine Heavens, gazing at the throne, and asked.

"Correct!" Saint Jue Qing replied. "That throne was placed by me; as long as you can sit on it, you will be the Saint Heir of Baihua Palace!"

"Good!"

Ye Chen, like a sword drawn from its sheath, exuded a sharp aura, as if he could sever the firmament.

"Ye Chen, guests should be treated well; even if someone challenges you, do not kill them, maiming them will suffice!" Saint Jue Qing said indifferently.
