We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World Chapter 476 -: An Underling Defeated By Me
The Heavenly Path Sect, in the perspective of the numerous forces gathered, was merely a minor power within the Southern Region. Any single one of them possessed the capability to obliterate it with ease.
However, before departing, Su Chen had delivered a stern warning, a threat that had deterred any immediate action until this very moment.
Now that the main character himself had appeared before them, they felt compelled to demonstrate their resolve. Failure to do so would lead other great domains to believe that their myriad races harbored fear towards the human, Su Chen!
With this notion firmly in their minds, all attention naturally gravitated towards Su Chen and the elder from the Long family. Eagerly, they awaited the confrontation between Su Chen and the Long family.
“The Long family?” A flicker of surprise crossed Su Chen’s features as he observed the elder. Yet, his expression shifted to one of peculiarity when his gaze moved from the elder to the young man standing behind him.
From Su Chen's assessment, the young man's power was quite ordinary. What caused his peculiar expression was the sudden, intense excitement emanating from the World-Transcending Sword Master's inheritance within his mind upon noticing the youth. This left Su Chen in a state of perplexity.
Simultaneously, a system panel materialized before Su Chen's eyes.
[Saint King Realm powerhouse: 99,998/100,000]
“It’s been three years. Is this bragging finally coming to an end?” Su Chen murmured, his attention fixed on the panel.
This particular boasting had first emerged three years prior, coinciding with his acquisition of the World-Transcending Sword Master's inheritance. It was only today that its completion was drawing near.
A significant chasm existed between the Saint King Realm and the Great Saint Realm, a gap that belied the mere one-word difference in their titles.
Su Chen had foreseen this potential scenario, meticulously preparing several contingency measures. However, achieving the Saint King Realm would undoubtedly streamline his confrontation with the multitude of masters present.
[Saint King Realm powerhouse: 99,999/100,000]
The panel’s numbers continued to ascend rapidly. In what felt like a single breath, another count was added.
[Saint King Realm powerhouse: 100,000/100,000]
The required quota was swiftly met.
“I will not claim the cultivation for the moment,” Su Chen thought silently, a sense of relief washing over him.
Shortly after, he dismissed the system panel, his focus returning to the Long family youth positioned behind the elder.
“If my understanding is correct, this young man must be the original inheritor handpicked by the World-Transcending Sword Master himself.”
Su Chen studied the youth intently, his mind racing. Ever since the young man’s arrival, the World-Transcending Sword Master's inheritance within him had been pulsing with fervent energy.
According to the projection left by the World-Transcending Sword Master, this youth from the Long family was indeed the successor he had personally designated.
Nevertheless, in this current life, Su Chen and Ye Ruxue emerged as unexpected variables, individuals who had instead seized the inheritance.
Had it not been for them, the youth's guaranteed reception of the World-Transcending Sword Master's inheritance would have been a certainty, as his calculations had indicated.
“It appears the World-Transcending Sword Master held this chosen inheritor in extremely high regard! Why the haste? Such eagerness to bestow the inheritance upon him!” Su Chen mused, feeling the ebb and flow of the inheritance’s throbbing within him.
At that precise moment, Ye Ruxue’s voice transmission resonated, her message concise and clear – this youth from the Long family was indeed the World-Transcending Sword Master’s intended successor.
Though she hadn’t openly declared herself as reborn, given all they had experienced together, she no longer maintained any pretense towards Su Chen. She possessed the ability to glimpse various future events, and Ye Ruxue had certainly shed a significant amount of her former guardedness in his presence.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, would you first grace me with an answer to my inquiry,” the Long family elder inquired, a smile gracing his lips. Beneath this veneer, however, lay an undisguised intent to kill.
By publicly executing their experts, Su Chen's actions had delivered an undeniable slap to their faces. As one of the ancient royal clans, they simply could not tolerate such profound humiliation.
“I was the one who killed him. What about it?” Su Chen calmly met the elder’s gaze, responding with deliberate indifference.
The elder’s countenance underwent a drastic transformation, his expression chilling as his snake-like eyes fixated on Su Chen. His aura began to churn restlessly, mirroring the turmoil within him.
Observing this exchange, the gathered experts from the myriad races felt a jolt of apprehension.
The Long family’s master, who resided in the Saint King Realm… was on the verge of unleashing his fury!
Just as anticipation for the impending clash reached its peak, a thunderous roar echoed, causing the very heavens and earth to tremble.
The firmament itself seemed to splinter and shatter, with vast expanses of space disintegrating like fragments of glass. Solidified vital energy cascaded down, engulfing the world.
In the far reaches of the sky, a colossal figure stood imposing and tall. His blue hair stood on end, and his cold, ruthless eyes burned with a heart-chilling killing intent, radiating a might that was both peerless and world-subduing.
He was a powerhouse of the Saint King Realm!
Furthermore… he was a Saint King hailing from the Thundercloud Hou Clan!
Upon his appearance, all present instantly comprehended their situation.
The expert from the Thunder Cloud Hou Clan had arrived to confront Su Chen!
Even the elder from the Long family was momentarily taken aback by the individual, his formidable aura vanishing in an instant.
“Su Chen! You slew a master from my Thundercloud Hou Clan in the Great Saint Realm?”
The Saint King’s hair whipped around him like a storm, his eyes flashing like twin lightning bolts, surveying the world with unparalleled authority, the might to command the heavens evident.
Though posed as an inquiry, his conviction was absolute.
Before Su Chen could utter a word, a mocking laugh echoed anew.
Suddenly, a radiant being materialized to Su Chen’s right, standing poised with his hands clasped behind his back, fixing his gaze upon Su Chen.
“Su Chen. We meet once more. Do you recall who I am?”
“Jin Yuan of the Divine Gold Clan?” Su Chen’s brow twitched slightly before smoothing out into a smile. “I do remember you – the first subordinate I vanquished from the Divine Gold Clan.”
This new arrival was indeed the very person who had vied with him for the quasi-emperor’s coffin within the Chaotic Sea Star Region.
At that time, Su Chen, cautious of the sheer number of powerful adversaries, had not seized the chance to finish him off.
In reality, a crucial factor was his haste to save Ye Ruxue, which prevented him from killing Jin Yuan. Even facing such odds, dispatching a mere Jin Yuan would have been effortless.
Yet, Mu Qingxue might have suffered harm.
Years had elapsed since that encounter. This entity from the Divine Gold Clan had recuperated from his wounds and appeared to have stumbled upon a significant fortune in the Chaotic Sea Star Region, progressing one level in his cultivation. This unanticipated advancement left Su Chen somewhat astonished.
