The momentum of Ren Kongjue's charge caused space to tremble, forming lake-like waves. Regular opponents did not even need to get close. Just this momentum alone would be enough to defeat them and cause them to vomit blood.
The strong ancient races did not have any innate abilities. How could they be called a strong ancient race?
Xiao Chen was not surprised at all. He had been waiting for Ren Kongjue. These people before him were just appetizers. The true powerhouses were seated behind, watching coldly.
If Xiao Chen could put in less effort here, he would have a higher chance of victory.
If these five people attacked together, even though Xiao Chen was a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, he would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with these prepared outstanding talents.
It would be much easier to deal with Ren Kongjue alone — a raging Ren Kongjue at that.
The wave-like space pressed down on everything. However, it did not have much effect on Xiao Chen's Rank 4 Sage Body. He did not move at all. His eyes focused on the trajectory of Ren Kongjue's attacks.
With a flip of Xiao Chen's hand, the Lunar Shadow Saber under his palm spun quickly. A strong wind blew, kicking up sand and rocks on the platform.
The calm Xiao Chen suddenly burst forth with a torrential aura. As the Lunar Shadow Saber spun, this aura slowly expanded. The compressed space before Xiao Chen reversed.
Ren Kongjue, who was charging over like a tall mountain, paused. He was clearly caught off guard by the reversed wind.
"Bang!"
The instant Ren Kongjue paused, less than a tenth of a breath, the spinning Lunar Shadow Saber under Xiao Chen's palm stopped spinning as well. Then, a saber light lit up, looking as resplendent as the sun. The entire platform was encased in white light.
When the light vanished and everything calmed down, everyone saw that Xiao Chen was holding the sheathed Lunar Shadow Saber. The tip of the scabbard tapped Ren Kongjue's forehead. Blood flowed out of his forehead and covered his face.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, aside from a few people, no one could clearly see when Xiao Chen's saber stopped spinning and when he attacked.
Ren Kongjue only saw a flash of saber light and then extinguished it. The insufferably arrogant Ren Kongjue did not even dare to move a single step. He panted heavily, his complexion pale.
"You don't even have the right to make me draw my blade, and you still dare to be dissatisfied?" Xiao Chen's voice was cold, like the god of death, "Go back!"
The Lunar Shadow Saber pressed down and pressed against Ren Kongjue's chest. Ren Kongjue spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. He landed on the ground and rolled a few times before falling off the King Ceremony Stage.
Kui Dou, Wei Hua, and the other three, who were still standing on the platform, felt like they were standing on pins and needles. This was especially so when Xiao Chen shifted his gaze to the four. They were in a dilemma.
Who could have thought that Xiao Chen had advanced to the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage Realm? Who could have thought that Ren Kongjue would be defeated in one move, rolling back, beaten until he did not have the slightest temper?
Who dared to say that they were dissatisfied? The four's words echoed in their ears. After what happened to Ren Kongjue and Xiao Hou Jue, how could they dare to say that they were dissatisfied?
However, before so many pairs of eyes, they put down their pride and retreated.
The four thought about how they had displayed their sharpness before coming here. They had said the words "I am dissatisfied" very loudly and energetically. Now, they had to run back with their tails between their legs. How unbearable would that be?
"Who dares to say that they are dissatisfied? White Robed Xiao Chen, with such boldness, no wonder you even dared to kill the people of my Astral Palace!"
A cold voice resounded, and starlight filled the sky. A pretty figure walked over from outside the King Ceremony Stage. This figure wore long black clothes that looked like night draped over her body. It showed off her charming figure, inspiring wild and fanciful thoughts.
A pale-white star was embroidered on this figure's clothes. It gave off a cold light and flowed with starlight. This set of clothes had an extraordinary origin.
This figure slowly walked over, resplendent starlight. As night fell, cold Qi assaulted everyone, turning their breath into frost.
Soon, this figure arrived at the platform conferring King. She stopped, and the starlight stopped. Then, she introduced herself, "Zodiac Hall's Fu Hongyao. Whether you are conferred King or not has nothing to do with me. However, you killed the people of my Astral Palace. Today, you have to give me an explanation. "
"Who is this person? How come I've never heard of her before?"
Most people did not recognize Fu Hongyao. However, they vaguely felt that she was extraordinary. This was especially so for the Astral Robes she wore, which were definitely extraordinary.
When Wei Hua and the other three saw that someone had appeared to distract the others, they quickly slipped away, not willing to linger.
"Fu Hongyao! Unexpectedly, she is here as well. She is the successor of Zodiac Hall's Moon Palace."
Zodiac Hall was a huge faction of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. It occupied the southern Heavenly Starry Ocean. With its strength alone, it could contend with a giant like the Northern Sea Alliance.
The Zodiac Hall had more than one hundred Astral Palaces under it, some strong and some weak. The Sun Palace and Moon Palace were the two strongest factions.
Some people in the Primal Chaos Domain had heard of Fu Hongyao's name. There were still people in the Tianwu Plaza who recognized her. This was a major character of the Heavenly Starry Ocean's younger generation.
Fu Hongyao went straight to the point. "Did the senior brothers of my Big Dipper Palace die at your hands?!"
There was nothing wrong with admitting it. That group of people wanted to kill him, so he casually killed them. He did not feel any guilt, so Xiao Chen admitted it honestly.
Fu Hongyao's gaze turned cold. She said coldly, "You are rather straightforward, not showing any fear. However, you still have to die!"
Right after Fu Hongyao spoke, she clenched the air with her right hand and waved. The dark Astral Robes she wore turned into a Lunar Astral Banner in her hand.
A beam of starlight shot down from the mysterious Lunar Astral Banner in the distant starry sky.
After losing his outer clothes, Fu Hongyao's snow-white skin was exposed. She waved the banner pole, and the night-like banner encased Xiao Chen, trying to suck him in.
This sudden change caught many people off guard. They all cried out in surprise. Fu Hongyao's move was too unexpected. How could Xiao Chen dodge it?
However, even though Fu Hongyao was fast, Xiao Chen was even faster. The instant Fu Hongyao waved the banner pole, Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber with his right hand.
Instantly, a boundless saber intent appeared. The saber light was like the sun and the night, scattering. The Astral Banner in Fu Hongyao's hand flew out of his hand.
After sheathing the saber, Xiao Chen waved his right hand and pulled the Astral Banner over. "If I had any fear in my heart, how could I have come to this King conferral ceremony? If you want to take revenge for those people, you alone will only be sufficient for me to draw my saber. I'll help you call a few more people over.
"Xie Zixuan, Xing Jue, Di Wuque, how long are the three of you going to keep watching? Are you not even comparable to a woman?"
Xiao Chen's gaze went past Fu Hongyao and looked at the inheritors of Dongyue Ghost Emperor, Xingtian, and Emperor Forsaken. Then, he directly challenged them.
The moment Xiao Chen said that, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen did not care about Fu Hongyao at all. He directly challenged the three most talented outstanding talents of the same generation.
What is he trying to do? Is he trying to fight against these three powerful outstanding talents alone?
When Fu Hongyao saw Xiao Chen stretch out his hand and grab her Lunar Astral Banner, he did not even look at her. Instead, he looked outside, completely ignoring her. She could not help but become enraged.
"Lunar Astral Banner, come back!"
Fu Hongyao shouted, and the Lunar Astral Banner turned into black clothes. Then, like a clump of black mist, it left Xiao Chen's hand and flew towards her.
A strange look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. However, he did not stop her, letting her take it. He sheathed the Lunar Shadow Saber and stabbed it back into the ground. Then, he propped it up with one hand and looked at Di Wuque, Xie Zixuan, and Di Wuque.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Chen had his own considerations for challenging these three people in one go.
After weighing the pros and cons, he would only expose his trump cards one by one, leaving the last person a chance to take advantage of him.
Xiao Chen might as well fight all three at once. With his cultivation as a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, Rank 4 Sage Body, Vital Qi of five Dragon Force, and Magic Energy that filled his sea of consciousness, he had at least a fifty percent chance of victory.
This King conferral was a great opportunity for Xiao Chen.
If he succeeded, his King Grade True Dragon's Luck could turn into an Emperor Grade True Dragon. From then on, his Luck would flourish, and no one in the younger generation would be able to compete with him.
If he failed, he would not be able to escape this calamity. His Luck would fall to rock bottom, and it would be very difficult for him to climb back up.
Anyone who tried to stop him from conferring a dragon would be defeated by him. The title of the Blue Dragon belongs to me alone, existing only for me.
"Since you want to die so much, then I, Xie Zixuan, will grant you your wish!"
Xie Zixuan, who could no longer hold back his killing Qi, shouted coldly. He left behind a clump of ghostly fog. Then, the ghostly fog flashed, and Xie Zixuan appeared on the platform with eight sabers on his back.
Xiao Chen's other Movement Techniques were unfathomable.
"This is Ghostly Shadow Steps, the famous Martial Technique of the Dongyue Ghost Emperor. It requires extremely high talent to practice. Xie Zixuan is not even thirty years old, and he actually managed to practice it."
"I heard that this Movement Technique creates a ghostly shadow with each step. Each ghostly shadow is a clone. After reaching Great Perfection, one can walk ninety-nine thousand steps, unfathomable and unending."
The moment Xie Zixuan appeared, his strange Movement Technique attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned sullen as he looked at Xiao Chen, not hiding his killing Qi at all.
Previously, in the Nine Layers of Purgatory, Xiao Chen had just advanced to grandmaster-level Martial Sage and his cultivation was unstable. Due to his carelessness, he got severely injured by Xiao Chen's twenty Dragon Force punch. That incident was still fresh in his mind.
Furthermore, this person before Xiao Chen was very close to Ghost Empress Xi Xun's faction.
No matter how Xiao Chen looked at it, he absolutely could not let the other party succeed in being conferred King under his nose.
"Haha! I have long heard of the Blue Dragon King's descendant, the White Robed King Xiao Chen. I, Xing Jue, will come and test you out as well."
The first disciple of the Xingtian Ghost Emperor, Xing Jue, smiled faintly and took a step forward, landing on the platform.
At this moment, only Di Wuque did not move. Everyone immediately focused their attention on him, wanting to see the leader of the younger generation. How would Xiao Chen react after being looked down on by Xiao Chen?
At this moment, Di Wuque felt very complicated. The person who was once like an ant to him actually dared to challenge him before everyone.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen did not challenge Xiao Chen alone. He even added Xie Zixuan and Xing Jue to the challenge.
"I'll go with you," Tianyou Xi, who was at the side, said softly.
When Di Wuque heard that, he felt stunned. Then, he waved his hand and said, "There's no need. If he challenges us one by one, he might survive. If he challenges us all together, he will not stand a chance at all."
"Boom!"
Di Wuque stood up, and the image of a Deities' Nation appeared behind him. Thousands of praises rang out. Di Wuque did not land on the ground. Instead, he stood on the Divine Kingdom and flew to the platform, looking down at Xiao Chen from above.
"Di Wuque is making a move as well!"
"Three powerful geniuses and Zodiac Hall's Fu Hongxue. This is going to be a good show."
From the start of the King conferral ceremony until now, there had been many twists and turns. After one wave came another. Originally, Xiao Chen thought that Xiao Chen, who came in a hurry, would embarrass himself greatly in front of everyone's congratulations. Who knew, he would snatch away Xiao Hou Jue's limelight from the start.
