Free Web NovelChapter 1225: Chapter 1226: The Protagonist Appears
At present, the senior members of the Desolate Continent Sword Palace wore rather unpleasant expressions, especially the Great Guardians and the Palace Master Sword Saint, who gazed at the towering spear with mixed feelings.
Previously, Xiao Ziyan was unwilling to marry Profound Heaven, and the Sword Palace forcibly compelled her, even claiming that Xiao Ziyan had no background and that whoever Profound Heaven wished to marry could not be refused. Now, seeing the Heaven-Reaching Spear, their hearts wavered slightly.
However, so what? Profound Heaven had decided that she must marry, and they could only hope that while the Spear of Space was mighty, it simply acknowledged a master and that Xiao Tianyu himself wasn’t too strong.
Meanwhile, the Nine Emperors stood before the main hall of the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, their gaze still fixed on the sky-piercing spear, clearly awaiting the appearance of the spear’s owner, seemingly having forgotten what day it was.
Had only the Nine Emperors forgotten?
It seemed likely that everyone present had forgotten what day it was, as the shock brought by the Spear of Space far surpassed that of Profound Heaven’s grand marriage.
A lone spear quivered in the Nine Provinces, standing proudly there, unchallenged by any.
As the sun rose in the east, the red rays of sunlight illuminated the chilling spear, reflecting endless dazzling and blinding light. Yet, the reflected sunlight carried no warmth, only the coldness from the Spear of Space.
At that moment, the void quaked for thousands of miles, as a dragon chariot adorned with red lanterns rolled by, pulled by six demon beasts. The thunderous sound was incessant, drawing many eyes. Witnessing this, it seemed everyone suddenly remembered what day it was.
Ahead was a man with a large red flower on his chest, dressed in brocade robes with an exquisitely embroidered Golden Dragon. His gaze was extraordinarily sharp, radiating heroism.
Moreover, his entire being exuded an aura of supreme dominance.
His deep eyes swept over the spear standing in the void, yet showed no change of color, as if the most important thing was marrying Xiao Ziyan.
"It’s Profound Heaven; he has arrived, and those walking beside him seem to be supreme prodigies from the Saint List, all among the top few, apparently here to celebrate Profound Heaven!"
"Such an array!"
"..."
The crowd’s eyes watched the dragon chariot in the void, the shock in their hearts still intense. Profound Heaven, ranked first among the top nine on the Saint List, was also the unparalleled peak figure of the younger generation in the Nine Provinces, whose status was by no means inferior to the Nine Emperors.
After all, a figure like Profound Heaven, beyond his terrifying background, was bound to become a leader of the younger generation, a future god; just the thought of it revealed the magnitude.
Today, he led prodigies from various grand lists to marry Xiao Ziyan, fulfilling the promise made three months prior as a bridal sedan arrived at the doorstep.
"Descend!" Profound Heaven whispered, leaping down to land before the Sword Palace hall. He cast a glance at the Nine Emperors, slightly nodding without saluting, indicating the weight of Profound Heaven’s status in the vastness of the Nine Provinces.
Facing a Great Emperor, he merely slightly nodded.
Seeing this, the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor’s eyes showed a trace of gratification, proud to have such a son, a pride not only of Profound Yellow but also of the Profound Yellow Divine Continent.
The person ranked first on the Saint List would certainly be a Great Emperor in the future. Moreover, the top nine prodigies on the list had all currently comprehended a trace of Emperor’s Intent, entering the Emperor Realm was only a matter of time.
Today, apart from the Heaven-Reaching Spear, Profound Heaven was undoubtedly the sole protagonist.
Of course, the other six young individuals behind him naturally shone brilliantly, evoking infinite admiration.
"Pay respects to Divine Son Profound Heaven!" All senior members from the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, including the Sword Saint, saluted Profound Heaven, for no other reason than the fact that the Desolate Continent Sword Palace was under the dominion of the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor.
This meant that Profound Heaven was their master.
Hearing this, Profound Heaven’s deep gaze shifted to the Sword Saint: "Everything is ready?"
"Ready, just awaiting the divine son’s arrival to wed!" With those words, a Guardian of the Sword Palace waved towards the interior. A party of female disciples strode through the air, in the center of whom was an unparalleled woman in a resplendent robe accompanying them.
However, this unparalleled woman’s gaze seemed lifeless, evidently having been sealed at various major meridians in her body, essentially devoid of free will, akin to a moving corpse.
Yet her peerless beauty drew numerous gazes.
"Is this the famous Xiao Ziyan of the Nine Provinces? She’s stunning!"
"Perhaps under heaven, only this woman is worthy of Profound Heaven!"
"..."
Numerous women showed envious expressions. For most women in the Unparalleled Nine Provinces, any number of beauties in the harem would be insignificant, given the imperial family dynamics, not to mention that Profound Heaven was the number one prodigious talent in the Nine Provinces.
However, what these women did not understand was why Xiao Ziyan refused.
The advent of Profound Heaven undoubtedly captured the attention of all. This legendary figure of the younger generation held the potential to command the Nine Provinces one day.
"Are you worthy of her?"
At this moment, a voice emerged from amongst the crowd of tens of thousands, swiftly drawing many eyes towards a singular, unparalleled youth stepping into everyone’s view.
From appearance alone, it seemed this person was crafted by heaven itself, flawless, though if one had to find a flaw, it would be that he was too handsome, overshadowing Profound Heaven in looks. His entire aura was restrained, resembling a gentle scholar, lacking the domineering presence of Profound Heaven.
Dominance is not in the outward appearance.
"Is it him, finally revealing himself?" Qin Ya’s beautiful eyes flickered. "This guy truly travels for beauty, sweeping across the Nine Provinces with the Spear of Space?"
Ruan Yu’s exquisite eyes sparkled with a peculiar luster. During the time at Qin Tian’s Divine Capital, her first impression of Xiao Tianyu was just good looks. Not until he effortlessly crushed Qin Yu with a slap did she realize he was a fearsome young prodigy.
However, what shocked her even more was that last night, the fact he had planted the Spear of Space before the Grand Hall of the Sword Palace, unable to be shaken by any in the Nine Provinces’ Empire, was simply incredible.
The Emperor of the Nine Provinces, who was at the peak of the Nine Provinces.
And now, with Profound Heaven here to wed Xiao Ziyan, he finally revealed himself.
Speaking, "Are you worthy of her?"
Profound Heaven, unworthy of Xiao Ziyan?
Suddenly, many showed puzzled expressions, observing Xiao Tianyu. Who was this person, could he be one of Xiao Ziyan’s admirers? Yet daring to speak to Profound Heaven in such a manner likely had only one outcome.
The crowd watched Xiao Tianyu’s back, seeing he did not head towards the Spear of Space, concluding that Xiao Tianyu was not its master.
Xiao Tianyu moved step by step along the steps toward the front, his long hair billowing, exuding unmatched handsomeness, capturing countless admiring glances from the opposite sex.
Moreover, he claimed that Profound Heaven was unworthy of Xiao Ziyan.
