Chapter 226 The First Battle of the World

Chai Xin's punch was so fast and powerful that no one expected it.

Although everyone has realized that his strength is probably comparable to the strongest group of people on this ancient road.

However, if you say that he can defeat the incarnation of a Saint King, everyone is still skeptical.

After all, in the eyes of the young geniuses on the ancient road, the Sage King is a completely different transcendent realm.

At least so far, no one among this generation of geniuses has truly taken that step.

In other words, even the most famous Emperor Tian, ​​the Great Demon God and others are still in the realm of saints.

Of course, they are all gifted, and although they have not yet entered the realm of Saint King, they already have the strength to fight against the Saint King.

If not for this, they would not be worthy of being called the strongest people in Gu Lu today.

However, although these people are strong, they cannot do anything to each other. If they want to defeat the Saint King head-on, it is probably still impossible.

Although an incarnation of the Saint King is not as powerful as the real Saint King, the strength contained in it is enough to make beings like Emperor Tian and the Great Demon God treat it with caution.

If a real war breaks out, we shouldn't be at a disadvantage, but it would probably be as difficult as ascending to heaven to truly defeat him.

This level of fighting is almost the same as the contest between the top figures.

Who is stronger, Emperor Tian or the Great Demon God?
I'm afraid even they themselves won't know until the actual battle begins.

Similarly, they fought with the incarnation of the Saint King with all their might, and no one could tell who would be the final winner until the battle was truly over.

This is the power of the Saint King. Only by reaching this level can one be truly respected as one of the top core members of the human race.

Even some city lords or guides on the ancient human trial road have not been able to reach this level. They still rely on their profound qualifications and complex power background.

But even so, the status of the city lord and the guide who have not reached the realm of Saint King is far from comparable to those who have been promoted by their own efforts.

The most obvious example is that the lord and guide of the second city of the human race allowed Yan Cangqiong, the guide of the 30th city, to do whatever he wanted and never showed up.

Of course, from another perspective, this kind of absence can be understood as a sign of disapproval or even dissatisfaction with Yan Cangqiong's behavior.

But even if they were dissatisfied, they still didn't dare to argue even on their own territory. The difference in status between the two sides was obvious.

This is the transcendent status of the Saint King!

Among the human race today, the quasi-emperors have secluded themselves from the world, and only a few great saints are in charge of the situation behind the scenes.

Apart from those great saints, the Saint King is naturally the top existence, and it is natural for him to have such a transcendent status.

Therefore, even figures like Emperor Tian and the Great Demon God have never had a direct conflict with any Saint King.

Even though there were some conflicts behind the scenes, everything seemed to be peaceful on the surface.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, they all have their own backgrounds on this ancient road.

In short, from the moment they set foot on the ancient trial road of the human race, those big families and big forces in the dark already knew which family they were descendants of.

In this way, everyone, including Di Tian and others, will restrain themselves. Although they will compete with each other, they will not kill each other, and the older generation will not show up.

However, Beidou, known as the Emperor Burial Star, is too special and is almost excluded by all the major star fields outside the domain. It has no say in the ancient road, let alone influence.

If not for this, there wouldn't be only two or three people sent into the starry sky every ten thousand years.

It should be noted that in many other star fields, every hundred years, there will be a few good young people who set foot on the ancient road.

This lack of backing led to the fact that after Chai Xin set foot on the ancient road, everyone regarded him as an opponent, and once they found a threat, they would really kill him to prevent future troubles.

The most typical example is the Three Heroes of Gou Chen and Yan Chifeng and others just now. They used their strongest and most fatal attacks on him, and even did not hesitate to use their numbers to bully the minority in order to take his life.

This kind of situation would certainly happen to Emperor Tian, ​​the Great Demon God and others, but it would definitely happen in the dark corners of the desolate and boundless universe, and it would never happen near an ancient city, let alone inside the city!

As for the situation where the older generation would personally take action in public, it was even more impossible for them to happen.

Of course, although Di Tian and others are unrivaled, they are not fools. They will be careful when facing the younger generations of powerful families.

Just like people like Zhu Ling, if they didn't have a family to rely on, how could they have survived after being defeated in a fight?

Not to mention, he actually managed to get a position in the ancient city!
Furthermore, Di Tian, ​​the Great Demon God and others have been roaming the starry sky for so many years. If there had not been a tacit understanding in secret among the powerful forces behind them, how could they have never fought against each other?
There is nothing new under the sun. After all, the situation outside the domain is not much different from that inside Beidou.

Before the real chaotic times came, there was a certain tacit understanding among the major holy places, aristocratic families, and even ancient clans. The seed-level figures of each other would hardly confront each other head-on, let alone kill each other.

Once geniuses appear outside the control of the major forces, they will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

This is true for Ye Fan in the original novel and Chai Xin before he was protected by Jiang Taixu and the demon clan.

This is like a feudal dynasty that has been monopolized by aristocratic families. Ordinary people want to make the leap and enter the ruling class. Unless they join one side, they will inevitably be suppressed by all forces.

It's very simple. Everyone is already unhappy about sharing a cake, and they are always thinking about having an extra bite. How can they tolerate newcomers coming out to grab food?

This is a tacit consensus reached by vested interests in order to protect their own interests.

Therefore, there has never been a record of any genius on the ancient trial road of the human race competing with a Saint King-level existence - of course, this refers to those who have fought for the Emperor's Road in this generation, not in the entire history of the human race.

Everyone was shocked and full of expectations that Chai Xin would take the initiative to attack Yan Cangqiong's incarnation despite the world's condemnation.

This is a war that has never happened in tens of thousands of years. No matter what the final outcome is, it will be recorded in the history of mankind and remembered by future generations.

Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of excitement as if they were participating in a major historical event.

"This Chai Xin is truly a demon king of his generation, even more brutal than the Great Demon God. He actually attacked a Saint King-level being!"

"He has no say over this. Envoy Yan Jieyin has even triggered the thunder of humanity, which shows that they are determined to fight to the death. How can we not fight?"

"This battle will surely spread throughout the universe and go down in history! I never thought that we would have the honor to be witnesses!"

"I have long been curious about the gap between the top geniuses on the Ancient Road and the true Saint Kings. Today will finally reveal the answer!"

The ancient city was boiling and everyone was talking about it.

Although Yan Cangkong is only an incarnation, he has the power of a Saint King. Theoretically, he is enough to suppress all saints.

People like the three guardians under Emperor Tian could only wait to be killed when facing the incarnation of the Saint King. Not to mention resistance, there was no chance for them to escape. For the geniuses on the ancient road, the incarnation of the Saint King was a natural chasm before them. Unless they took that step, they would never be able to reach it.

"You evil creature, do you think that you can fight against me just because you have used evil magic to avoid the punishment of the righteous thunder of humanity? Humph, how foolish you are!"

Feeling the power of Chai Xin's punch, Yan Cangqiong's heart had actually become more solemn than ever before, but he deliberately used an extremely contemptuous tone to rebuke him condescendingly.

Moreover, every word he said was righteous, as if he was truly a great sage of the human race who was dedicated to serving the public.

In fact, at this moment, he could already sense Chai Xin's true combat power, which was no weaker than his incarnation, and even stronger.

Doesn't this prove that even if he were here in person, he might not be much stronger than the other party?

Moreover, during the fight, he was shocked to find that Chai Xin had actually never stepped into the realm of the Holy Way!
In other words, this guy is still a half-saint!

A Semi-Saint has such strength. If he survives the Saint Tribulation, won’t he be able to attack the Saint King?
In a flash, Yan Cangqiong's murderous intent towards Chai Xin became more than ten times stronger.

Such a peerless genius definitely has the capital to compete for the throne. Since he has become an enemy, and a mortal enemy at that, he must not be let go at any cost and must be eradicated!
Otherwise, it would be a catastrophe for him and the Yan family.

After just one confrontation, Yan Cangqiong already knew that if they fought head-on, his incarnation would probably not be a match for Chai Xin.

An incarnation is an incarnation after all. It cannot withstand the consumption of a protracted war, and some methods are difficult to use.

Therefore, he had to fight with the force of thunder and lightning, and with a tactic of not hesitating to destroy this incarnation and die together with his enemies, in order to catch Chai Xin off guard and kill him with one blow!
This was also the real reason why he deliberately acted arrogant and disdainful of Chai Xin before.

He wanted to anger Chai Xin, but also confuse him and make him think that he still didn't value him.

But secretly, he had already decided to kill Chai Xin on the spot at all costs.

However, Yan Cangqiong did not expect that Chai Xin actually had the same idea as him.

Although he behaved very arrogantly, Chai Xin remained calm inside. All his external words and behaviors were just to trick his enemies.

This is also his usual fighting style when facing a truly powerful enemy.

Of course he understood that Yan Cangqiong was a true Saint King. Even if the strength of this incarnation was not as good as his, it would not be much inferior to him.

Moreover, these old guys are more insidious than each other, and their trump cards are endless, which are definitely not comparable to those young geniuses.

Although Chai Xin kept calling him "old dog", he never looked down on him.

A punch with almost all his strength hit Yan Cangqiong's chest, but it did not cause much damage. This made him even more alert. Although there was still a look of sarcasm and contempt on his face, he had secretly activated the Lihuo Divine Furnace.

This was undoubtedly a repetition of an old trick, almost exactly the same as when he dealt with Fairy Qingshi.

A palm-sized furnace suddenly appeared in his hand, which had not yet been withdrawn. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a diameter of more than ten feet and covered Yan Cangkong, who had white hair and beard and a fairy-like appearance.

Just at this moment, Yan Cangqiong also suddenly stretched out his palm, and his whole body was emitting infinite holy light, as if burning like a raging fire, and the whole person seemed to be about to rise into the sky.

A breath that could collapse the sky quietly emerged and pressed towards Chai Xin.

"Quasi-Emperor's Might!"

Yan Cangqiong, with murderous intent between his brows, was thinking that his attack would surely succeed and kill Chai Xin in one fell swoop, when he suddenly noticed the sudden enlargement of the furnace in front of him and the astonishing power emanating from it.

"Damn!"

Even someone as shrewd as he was couldn't help but swear.

Who would have thought that a young junior could be just as vicious as him!

Although he had a quasi-imperial weapon in his hand, he never showed it from beginning to end. Even when facing the thunder of humanity, he only relied on his physical body to resist it, and he has been enduring until now!
This scheming alone is enough to make 99% of the geniuses in the world feel inferior.

In the city, a beautiful and ethereal female figure had been watching the battle from the very beginning.

When she saw this familiar scene in the sky, her beautiful face, which had always been calm, finally couldn't help but reveal a trace of speechlessness.

"This guy is really..."

The words came to my lips, but I didn't know how to describe it.

This figure was none other than Fairy Qingshi, who had suffered at the hands of Chai Xin.

"Miss, have you fought with this man before?"

Beside her, a cute girl dressed as a maid saw this and asked curiously.

Fairy Qingshi nodded slightly to show her acknowledgment.

"Have you ever fought? How did you win or lose?" The maid became more and more curious and couldn't help asking.

But Fairy Qingshi stopped talking and just stared at Chai Xin in the sky with a serious expression, having already noticed something different.

"It's only been a short ten days, and he seems to have become even stronger... Could it be that he has really refined the source of Tao in secret? However, his cultivation doesn't seem to have made much progress, which doesn't make sense..."

As calm as she was, she was actually a little confused for a moment.

It was really the huge changes that Chai Xin had undergone during this period of time that put tremendous pressure on her, as someone at the same level.

When the little maid saw her mistress in this state, she couldn't help but become more curious about the spirited figure in the sky.

Although the young lady had not spoken a word, based on her understanding over the years, she knew that the two might have really fought each other, and the outcome might not be very optimistic.

"boom!"

As he was speaking, a loud bang was heard from the sky.

The waves that shook the sky swept in all directions. If it weren't for the formation protecting the ancient city, many people would have been injured.

Yan Cangqiong's most powerful attack, launched at great cost, was completely blocked by the Lihuo Divine Furnace. Although it had an unprecedented dent, it was still intact.

As for Chai Xin who was hiding behind the stove, he was not hurt at all.

"Come in and sit down, old man!"

Just like how he treated Fairy Qingshi, silver light flashed under Chai Xin's feet, and he instantly arrived beside Yan Cangkong, who was inexplicably sad and angry, and slapped him in the face!
