Chapter 1107: Chapter 151-152:
But within the Sikong Divine Clan, there were actually records regarding the Time Pupil.
It was an extremely powerful Divine Lord Level Innate Divine Ability.
Even the Sikong Divine Clan’s original Innate Divine Ability might not be much stronger than the Time Pupil.
"However—"
"Compared to White Jade Hua, Zhongshan Chou’s foundation is a bit too shallow. If he could temper himself for a while longer, then his chances of victory would be a few points higher."
Sikong Yucheng had never really been optimistic about him.
But.
This was an internal matter of the Zhongshan Clan, so he did not continue speaking too much.
Moreover, the life-and-death contract had already been established; saying any more now would be pointless.
Zhongshan Dongxuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Divine Mandate Platform, and suddenly spoke: "Yucheng Divine King, if my Zhongshan Clan were to produce yet another Proud Heaven who leaves their name on the Investiture of the Gods, and moreover ranks within the top five thousand, what kind of reaction do you think the other clans would have?"
This question made Sikong Yucheng’s expression freeze for a moment.
Right after, his expression grew a few degrees more solemn.
"If it truly comes to that, with just the strength you and I have right now, I fear we’ll be in trouble."
Sikong Yucheng was very clear on how many hostile forces the Zhongshan Clan had.
A single Proud Heaven entering the Divine Mandate Platform was still within the tolerance range of all sides. But if a second and a third Proud Heaven were to enter the Divine Mandate Platform, and with high rankings at that, then things would become completely different.
Not to mention those lofty Divine Clans.
Even all the various Clans would not sit idly by.
After all—
If the Zhongshan Clan really got the chance to recuperate and grow, then for the other hostile forces, that would be a devastating blow.
In that case.
The safest and most reliable course of action.
Would be to strangle all potential threats in the cradle.
However, Sikong Yucheng was not overly worried.
Because in his view, Zhongshan Chou had no possibility of entering the Investiture of the Gods.
"It seems, Yucheng Divine King, that your thoughts are the same as mine. In that case, we must make preparations in advance."
Zhongshan Dongxuan directly crushed a Jade Talisman.
In an instant.
A stream of light shot away.
So fast that even a Divine King would be completely unable to stop it.
——
Inside the Divine Mandate Platform.
From the moment Shen Changqing and White Jade Hua established a life-and-death contract, any powerhouse whose name was on the Investiture of the Gods received the corresponding message.
Some Proud Heavens scoffed at it, believing that a Proud Heaven who had just entered the Divine Mandate Platform and already dared to covet a spot within the top five thousand on the Investiture of the Gods was simply daydreaming, completely unworthy of their attention.
But there was still a considerable portion of Proud Heavens who chose to enter the Divine Mandate Platform to watch the battle.
For no other reason.
They simply wanted to see what kind of Proud Heaven had the courage to charge straight for the top five thousand on the Investiture of the Gods in one breath.
"Zhongshan Chou!"
On one of the seats, a youth in a black robe looked at the Divine Mandate Platform below, his gaze indifferent.
He was a Proud Heaven of the Ancient Desolate Divine Clan, and his seat was within the top hundred on the Investiture of the Gods.
To be able to sit here—
Among all Proud Heavens in the God Realm, he was already an absolutely top-tier existence.
Even White Jade Hua, ranked over four thousand, was not worth mentioning before him.
However.
That being said.
Ancient Desolate Saint still acknowledged White Jade Hua’s strength to a considerable degree.
For the other party to firmly hold that position, his strength in the Investiture of the Gods was already quite good.
As for the name Zhongshan Chou.
He had vaguely heard a bit about it, but had never paid much attention.
He was merely a Proud Heaven in a Clan who had awakened a Divine Lord Level Innate Ability; such a matter, within a Clan, counted as something not to be ignored.
But in the eyes of the Divine Clans, it was nothing special.
After all—
For the Clans, a lofty Divine Lord Level Innate Divine Ability was not all that rare within the Divine Clans.
This disparity.
Was also the reason the gap between the Clans and the Divine Clans kept widening. Unless a new Divine Lord emerged within the Clan, there was absolutely no possibility of catching up.
So in Ancient Desolate Saint’s eyes, whether it was White Jade Hua or Shen Changqing, there was actually no difference.
His coming here.
Was purely to pass the time.
Within the Divine Mandate Platform.
As the life-and-death contract was established, a mysterious fluctuation rose from the Divine Mandate Platform and covered the entire vast arena.
Immediately after.
A message descended, and the two of them understood it in their hearts.
"The life-and-death contract has been established. In this battle, neither side may withdraw midway. Only the victor may leave alive!"
Right away.
White Jade Hua stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking Shen Changqing with a lofty gaze, his voice naturally carrying a note of arrogance.
"I’ll give you the chance to strike first, so that you can die with conviction!"
As his words fell.
Shen Changqing’s figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.
White Jade Hua’s expression changed; within his perception he was actually unable to sense the other party’s aura in the slightest.
At that moment.
A terrifying power surged in from his flank.
In an instant.
Without even thinking, White Jade Hua used Divine Power to form a light shield, protecting his body within.
Crack—
The Divine Power light shield had just risen when it was torn apart and destroyed by a terrifying force.
Immediately after.
That force slammed into him, and his body was instantly sent flying.
Boom—
His flesh was flung out and heavily smashed onto the Divine Mandate Platform.
"Impossible!"
White Jade Hua’s face was filled with utter disbelief and shock.
Shen Changqing’s strength had completely exceeded his expectations.
That punch just now.
If not for his Divine Power offsetting part of the force, his flesh would have been completely annihilated.
Seeing Shen Changqing’s offensive surging in again.
White Jade Hua had no time to think. He directly revealed his true body, and a Zhu Yan of nearly ten thousand zhang tall appeared, standing proudly upon the Divine Mandate Platform.
