"Boom! Boom!"
On the vast martial arts field, Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian both unleashed their ultimate killing moves.
Red and blue, seven beams of light merged, each solidifying into the two men's strongest divine powers.
Yet Luo Yu's performance was the most astonishing, as he summoned a hundred deity-level Ancient Spirits in an instant, with resplendent golden holograms stepping out behind him.
As each one appeared, the tens of thousands of spectators in the arena, the family heads in the VIP rooms, the entire population of Great Xia in front of the TV screens, and the leaders of the major powers in the Dark Conference Room all felt their hearts tremble.
"What's going on!"
"How is this possible..."
"How could he possibly have so many Ancient Spirits."
"Didn't the six family heads say that all so-called 'God's Children' are fake? How do you explain so many Ancient Spirits."
"Damn it, cut it out, will you? Others are peerless geniuses with seven or eight Ancient Spirits, and you've got over a hundred? And they're all deity-level?"
"Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Erlang Manifests the Sage True Monarch, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the Great God of the Three Altar Sea Assembly, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fire God Zhu Rong, True Martial Great Emperor, the Four Heavenly Kings..."
One by one, legendary gods of supreme power emerged from the void, leaving everyone's scalp numb and their shock inexpressible by words, a sense of the inconceivable surging within them.
"Moo—"
A roar of a green ox resounded as an old Taoist appeared, riding the ox amidst a haze of purple Qi.
"The... Supreme Elder Lord?"
"The Three Purities?"
"Holy crap!!!"
Countless people inwardly exclaimed, their mental journey long, but in reality, it all happened so quickly.
"You have the unity of seven divine powers, try my unity of a hundred divine powers!!!"
After witnessing his opponents' moves, Luo Yu was inspired, blending the divine powers of a hundred great gods.
He created a new move.
"Cycle of a Hundred Lifetimes!"
"Boom!"
The hundred shadows of Ancient Divine Spirits turned into dazzling beams of golden light, soaring into the sky and merging together.
They formed a magnificent and blinding golden rainbow that pierced through the combined attack of Liu Sheng Tan and the other.
"Crash—"
The ground shook, and the red and blue beams were scattered by the golden rainbow in the blink of an eye.
They shattered completely, dissipating into countless light particles, while the golden rainbow, unstoppable, continued to pierce towards the two men.
Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian vomited blood, their faces filled with astonishment.
"No!"
"This is impossible..."
"How could you have become so powerful!!!"
They repeatedly executed moves, erecting light shields before them, but to no avail; Luo Yu's golden light, relentless as a hot knife through butter, shattered all their defenses in an instant.
"Not good..."
"It's over."
Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian were panic-stricken, no longer bearing the composure of mighty prodigies, their faces ashen.
The oncoming golden pillar of light caused them to tremble with fear, every cell in their bodies quivering.
In the conference room, Liu Shengji and Cao Xiong's patriarch couldn't sit still any longer and burst out of the window.
"Luoshenzi, spare my life please!"
They flew over in haste, but it was too late, the golden light was already upon Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian, striking them both.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
In a mere instant, the armor on Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian shattered, disintegrating rapidly.
Despair and the shadow of death appeared in their eyes.
They couldn't withstand this attack; it was terrifying, far too terrifying, and unstoppable.
It was simply not on the same level.
"Disperse!"
Just as they closed their eyes, giving up all futile resistance and preparing to face death, the commanding voice of a regal youth rang out, and in an instant, all the powerful golden light vanished.
"Hmm?"
Liu Sheng Tan and Cao Potian opened their eyes, showing bewildered expressions.
All around them, calm had been restored, with only the devastation proving that a stupendous battle had just taken place.
They saw that spirited youth, surrounded by divine spirits, a God's Child indeed, his entire being exuded endless majesty, his unique aura different from mortals, as if he were a Banished Immortal from above the nine heavens.
It was the other who had held back.
Who had spared them.
"Not... We don't have to die?" Liu Sheng Tan picked up a sliver of life, feeling a huge burden lifted from his heart.
If even ants cherish life, how could he not treasure his own?
"Phew, I lived!" Cao Potian kept patting his chest, overjoyed at having escaped death.
He didn't want to die; what would become of the beauties and young wives in his home if he were gone?
And Liu Shengji and Cao Xiong, stricken with panic and confusion, found themselves awkwardly suspended in the air, unsure of what to do next.
The boy hadn't intended to take their grandson's life at all; what were they rushing for?
This was a bit embarrassing; the surroundings fell silent, and they hung in the air above the square, visible to tens of thousands of eyes.
Of course, that wasn't important; what mattered was that they had publicly declared Luo Yu to be a false God's Child not too long ago.
If they had stayed hidden in the VIP room picking their toes, it might've been fine, but now they were out in the open, in the public eye. It was utterly shameful, excruciatingly embarrassing; they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
Cao Xiong forced a smile: "Con... Congratulations, Luo..."
For a moment he didn't know how to address him; calling him Luo Shen would be a slap in the face.
Calling him Young Luo, he felt he was hardly worthy anymore, for the other had shown such terrifying combat prowess.
Liu Shengji felt similarly, his embarrassment more intense than Cao Xiong's.
After all, Cao Xiong hadn't come forward before; among the six, he wasn't there; at most, he was part of what happened behind the scenes.
But Liu Shengji was personally involved!
Even with the thickest skin, he found himself speechless now.
Luo Yu's eyes swept towards the two patriarchs, yet he said nothing much; he didn't seem to care that much.
