"Old Man Di Hong, can we begin?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a handsome man dressed like a young man from Earth asked impatiently as he reached out to take off his sunglasses.
"It's about time."
After confirming that most of the titled Celestial Emperors from the Qilin Clan were present, he nodded at the handsome young man and said, "Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor, please."
Almost as soon as Di Hong finished speaking, the handsome man raised his hand, and a black iron rod with a golden hoop on each end appeared in his hand.
"This is... the Ruyi Jingu Bang?"
When Duan Lingtian saw the Jingu Bang in the handsome man's hand, he confirmed his identity. He was the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, Sun Wukong.
Just now, although he guessed that the other party was Sun Wukong, he didn't dare to be completely sure.
The main reason was that the other party's attire was too different from the image of Sun Wukong in the ancient myths and legends in his memory … However, Duan Lingtian also knew that Sun Wukong usually transformed into his human form, so whatever he wore was normal.
This outfit was the outfit of a modern youth on Earth. It was obvious that Sun Wukong had been to Earth recently. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to wear such an outfit.
Moreover, he was certain that:
Sun Wukong should have gone to Earth in the last few hundred years because this outfit had become popular during the era of his previous life.
To this day, it might still be popular, or it might have been replaced by other costumes.
"Meng Luo, this should be your first time meeting the Heaven's Equal Immortal Emperor, right?"
Di Yun Long smiled and asked Meng Luo.
"Yes."
Meng Luo nodded as he looked at the handsome man with the buzz cut who was holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang. "I've heard of the Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor from the Jade Emperor Heaven, but I've never had the chance to meet him."
"He is my target."
Meng Luo said.
"Haha … This Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor is a combative person. This is exactly the same as you. "
Di Yun Long shook his head and smiled, "It's a pity that your current strength is much weaker than his. Otherwise, your battle will definitely be very exciting. "
He had heard about how Meng Luo had challenged titled Celestial Emperors in the Solitary Destructive Heaven and made a name for himself.
"That day will come."
Meng Luo said with a firm and confident gaze.
"Huo Lao, do you think … Senior Meng Luo has a chance of catching up to Sun Wukong?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Huo Lao and asked curiously.
He was also paying close attention to the conversation between Meng Luo and Di Yunlong.
"Difficult."
Huo Lao shook his head and replied via voice transmission, "That Sun Wukong won't be as old as Meng Luo."
"Meng Luo's talent is inferior to his."
"In addition, this monkey is also someone who had a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter … According to rumors, there might be a god behind him. Furthermore, it's not an ordinary god. "
Huo Lao said.
Gods?
Duan Lingtian naturally knew that the Gods mentioned by Huo Lao were existences above the Ten Directions Celestial Emperors. Moreover, the strength of the Gods was also divided into different grades.
Those who had just become gods were the weakest Gods.
Naturally, even the weakest Gods were not existences that Celestial Emperors could contend with. Even a God who had not comprehended the Fused Profundities could easily kill a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor who had comprehended multiple Fused Profundities.
The difference between the strength of a God and a Celestial was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"The Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor has come with ill intentions. I wonder if the patriarch is a match for him."
"We have to have faith in the patriarch."
"Although we have faith in the patriarch, the Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor's growth is too fast. In fact, it's said that he's only a fraction of the patriarch's age."
…
Many titled Celestial Emperors from the Qilin Clan spoke to Duan Lingtian. Most of them had high hopes for Sun Wukong.
However, none of them dared to say that they thought the patriarch would lose.
After all, Sun Wukong was the leader of the Qilin Clan.
"Di Hong, the patriarch of the Qilin Clan, is one of the strongest Seven Star Gods of War …"
Duan Lingtian looked at Di Hong who was standing opposite Sun Wukong. He could not help but ask Di Yun Long, "Senior Di Yun Long, the patriarch of the Qilin Clan is one of the strongest Seven Star Gods of War. He should be stronger than some of the weaker Heavenly Emperors, right? "
Although Duan Lingtian's question came as a surprise, Di Yun Long quickly replied, "No matter how weak a Heavenly Emperor is, he's not an ordinary person. Since he's able to become a Heavenly Emperor, he has to be capable and capable.
Indeed, the patriarch is slightly stronger than some of the Heavenly Emperors, but not by much. However, he might not be able to snatch the position of Heavenly Emperor from those Heavenly Emperors unless he has the help of the Qilin Clan.
However, the Title Temple won't allow the Qilin Clan to have two Heavenly Emperors. "
Di Yun Long said.
"The Title Temple again?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. Previously, he had heard that the Title Temple would not allow Heavenly Emperors to continue to occupy the position of Heavenly Emperor after they had become gods.
However, the Title Temple would not allow the Qilin Clan to have two Heavenly Emperors?
"Is the Qilin Clan afraid of the Title Temple?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Of course, the Qilin Clan isn't afraid of the Title Temple. However, there are some rules that the Title Temple has to abide by.
I wonder if you've heard of any supreme powerhouses, young master? "
Di Yun Long asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "It's said that there's a supreme powerhouse in the Qilin Clan."
"That's right."
Di Yun Long nodded. "Our Qilin Clan has a supreme powerhouse, and there's also a supreme powerhouse behind the Title Temple. However, the Title Temple has to abide by some rules. For example, the Celestial Beast Clan can't have two Heavenly Emperors. This is a rule set by many supreme powerhouses.
Even the supreme powerhouses in our Qilin Clan have to abide by this rule.
"This rule is different from the Title Temple's rule of not allowing Heavenly Emperors who have become gods to stay in the Devata Realms. It's a rule set by the Title Temple so that all the gods in the Devata Realms can head to the Realms of Gods instead of staying in the Devata Realms.
Di Yun Long's words cleared Duan Lingtian's doubts.
"In the Devata Realms, there's only one clan that's not restricted by the number of Heavenly Emperors.
The human clan's potential is the most mediocre among all the clans. However, it's precisely because of this mediocre clan that there are many extraordinary people.
"Among the many utmost powerful beings, half of them are humans."
Perhaps, this is why the number of Heavenly Emperors in the human clan isn't restricted. "
Duan Lingtian learned a lot from Di Yun Long's words.
"The patriarch is about to make a move!"
At this moment, a voice rang in Duan Lingtian and Di Yun Long's ears, causing them to snap back to their senses. They stopped talking and focused on the starry sky in the distance.
In the distant starry sky, Di Hong, the patriarch of the Qilin Clan, was holding a fiery red Exquisite Hill in his hand.
Flames burned brightly on the Exquisite Hill as though they would never be extinguished.
"Is that … a Devata Artifact?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. At the same time, he instinctively asked Huang 'er, the sword soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
"Master, it's a primitive Devata Artifact with a soul," Huang 'er replied.
"Master."
Upon hearing Huang 'er's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes widened slightly. Then, he instinctively looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang in Sun Wu Kong's hand.
If he was not mistaken, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang in Sun Wu Kong's hand was a top Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon on par with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor!"
At this moment, Di Hong, the patriarch of the Qilin Clan, said, "Back then, when we fought, I used a Celestial Artifact similar to the one in your hand.
At that time, I didn't want to take advantage of you.
Now that you've challenged me again after 1,000 years, I'm sure you came prepared.
I'm certain I won't be a match for you if I use my Celestial Artifact. For this reason, I plan to use the Qilin Clan's Devata Artifact, the Flaming Spirit Mountain.
Naturally, if you think I'm taking advantage of you, I won't use the Flaming Spirit Mountain. "
Duan Lingtian could not help but nod inwardly when he heard Di Hong's words. The patriarch of the Qilin Clan was a true gentleman.
On the other hand, the titled Celestial Emperors from the Qilin Clan were not surprised by Di Hong's words at all.
"I hope the Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor agrees to let the patriarch use the Flaming Spirit Mountain. Otherwise, I'm afraid the outcome will be bleak."
"The patriarch can unleash the full power of the Flaming Spirit Mountain. The Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor won't be able to defeat the Flaming Spirit Mountain without a Devata Artifact."
"I wonder if the Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor will agree to it?"
…
The titled Celestial Emperors from the Qilin Clan instinctively looked at Sun Wu Kong.
At this moment, Sun Wu Kong could not help but laugh loudly. "Haha … Old Man Di Hong, back then, I, Old Sun, asked you to use your Qilin Clan's Divine Artifact to fight me, but you said you were unwilling to take advantage of me."
"Actually, if you had defeated me with a Divine Artifact back then, I would have been happier than if it had ended in a draw … To me, losing is a good thing. It allows me to know where I'm lacking and gives me the motivation to move forward.
Go ahead and use the Flaming Spirit Mountain. I'd like to see how much strength you've held back in the past! "
Sun Wu Kong's character was just like what Duan Lingtian remembered from the legends. He was not afraid of Heaven or Earth.
You want to use your Devata Artifact?
Sure!
Let's fight!
"In that case, you'd better be careful, Heaven's Equal Celestial Emperor."
Di Hong nodded. Flames surged out of his body like a prairie fire. In just a blink of an eye, the flames spread in the starry sky and incinerated a few nearby planets.
In just a blink of an eye, the planets that were still floating in the starry sky were reduced to ashes.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
…
Flames surged out of Di Hong's body in the starry sky, forming flaming passageways. At the same time, Di Hong's figure disappeared into thin air.
The gorgeous and magnificent scene before his eyes constantly assaulted Duan Ling Tian's eyes, and it was like a visual feast!
