Chapter 1605

Facing the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, even the Netherworld Realm would not dare to look down on him, after all, this is truly an existence standing at the pinnacle of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Even this leader, a perfected Emperor Sovereign Realm nether clansman, would have to consider himself a junior in the presence of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor.

Although it appears that the two sides are only one step apart, if he advances just a little further, he too could become an existence of the Ancestor Realm.

But this step, frankly speaking, this perfected Emperor Sovereign nether clansman still has no confidence whatsoever up to now.

I don't know if there will be a chance in this lifetime, but even if there is, it would be illusory and elusive to the extreme.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Emperor Sovereign powerhouses in Zhu Tian Wan Jie, yet the Ancestor Realm is so rare.

A single step away, and that is the difference between heaven and earth.

Facing the visit from the Netherworld Realm, Shi Song and the others naturally would not stop them.

However, they still need the personal consent of the Eternal Night Old Ancestor; otherwise, they would not dare to act on their own.

"We still need to ask for the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's opinion."

Shi Song spoke truthfully; upon hearing this, the Netherworld Realm's perfected Emperor Sovereign nether clansman immediately nodded and said.

"That's natural; please trouble Daoist Shi to inquire with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor."

Immediately, Shi Song personally went to request an audience with the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, explaining the purpose of his visit.

Perhaps it was also giving Dao Yi Shengdi some face; the Eternal Night Old Ancestor did not refuse the meeting.

However, they only met the leader, that perfected Emperor Sovereign nether clansman, and the nether clan's young master, Luo Jiuyou.

Under Shi Song's guidance, the two came to the Dong Fu where the Yongye people reside, staying there for roughly less than half a Shíchén.

Shi Song did not know what the two had said, but upon leaving, he still noticed that the perfected Emperor Sovereign nether clansman's expression seemed somewhat complicated.

He appeared to be pondering something, which left Shi Song somewhat baffled.

But it was not appropriate to press further.

Over the next few days, the Netherworld Realm's people were indeed not in a hurry to leave.

Mainly because the food at Dao Yi Shengdi made everyone reluctant to leave.

And Shi Song naturally took this opportunity to grow closer to the Netherworld Realm's people, with Ye Zhangqing also lending a hand.

Just like the other Yongye people, the Netherworld Realm's folk also had separate meals for each meal.

And while eating, they could also see the Yongye people, so naturally there was some exchange of pleasantries.

For a time, the relationship between Dao Yi Shengdi and the Netherworld Realm's nether clan grew much closer.

However, facing the treatment given to the Netherworld Realm's people, many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi naturally felt envious.

Some bold ones, imitating Xu Jie's tactics, went so far as to employ a provocation method.

However, this time it seemed ineffective; even the nether clan's young master, Luo Jiuyou, remarked with interest.

"I'm quite curious about your Dao Yi Shengdi disciples; we're all peers, so how about I set up a sparring platform where your Dao Yi Shengdi's younger generation can come challenge us, and we can exchange pointers?"

Luo Jiuyou is naturally a battle enthusiast; after all, at this age, who isn't full of pride and ambition?

Upon first arriving in Haotu Shijie, he also wanted to see how strong the younger generation of this world is.

As Dao Yi Shengdi is the dominant power of Haotu Shijie, there is no doubt that its disciples represent the pinnacle of the younger generation in Haotu Shijie.

Regarding Luo Jiuyou's desire to set up a platform to challenge Dao Yi Shengdi's younger disciples, Shi Song did not object.

When the news spread, the disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi were naturally extremely excited.

Being able to exchange pointers with the top young heavenly prodigies of Zhu Tian Wan Jie is also a rare opportunity for them.

Who wouldn't want to witness those who stand at the peak?

But once the platform was set up, upon seeing Luo Jiuyou, many Dao Yi Shengdi disciples one by one lost their morale.

They are the same age, yet his cultivation has already reached Emperor Level.

Looking at Dao Yi Shengdi's disciples, the highest among them—like Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and Capture Dragon—are only at the Saint Realm level.

With such a huge gap in cultivation realms, how could there be any chance of victory? There is simply no possibility of winning.

So, many of the disciples who had initially been eager to fight voluntarily chose to withdraw.

The gap is two major realms, from Saint Realm to Great Emperor Realm; going up, they probably couldn't even withstand a single move from the other side.

What kind of exchange is this? It's basically a one-sided beating.

However, some had a different idea, like Xu Jie; upon seeing Luo Jiuyou, although he was also shocked, he quickly became excited and said.

"Emperor-level cultivation—is this the strength of the top heavenly prodigies of Zhu Tian Wan Jie? I really want to give it a try."

Xu Jie naturally would not be arrogant enough to think he could defeat Luo Jiuyou.

His sole purpose in thinking this way is to personally experience just how great the gap is between himself and the top heavenly prodigies of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

How vast the difference between the two sides is.

Saying this, Xu Jie leapt onto the platform; seeing that someone had finally gone up, Luo Jiuyou did not mock him either.

On the contrary, he smiled kindly.

"Saint Realm cultivation—not bad, you've already reached the level of a Heavenly Pride."

"But you're still far from me."

"Heh, but you've also surpassed many; the number of people in Zhu Tian Wan Jie who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me does not exceed the count of one hand."

Luo Jiuyou's words were incredibly arrogant, yet they did not provoke dislike.

Because the fact is exactly so; Luo Jiuyou's tone also sounded as if he were stating a perfectly normal matter.

As soon as his words fell, without waiting for Xu Jie to speak, Luo Jiuyou continued.

"You are at the Saint Realm; I will also use the same realm to fight you, which should be more interesting."

"I couldn't ask for more."

Luo Jiuyou voluntarily suppressed his cultivation to fight Xu Jie, and Xu Jie did not insist on saving face over this.

A battle at the same realm would better allow one to feel the gap between himself and Luo Jiuyou, these top heavenly prodigies of Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

After all, a Shèngjìng versus a Great Emperor — even if it's Xu Jie, it's probably just a single move.

Seeing Xu Jie's cheerful agreement, Luo Jiuyou laughed out loud, didn't say anything more, and immediately suppressed his own cultivation to the Shèngjìng level.

After both of their cultivations reached the same level, Xu Jie took the initiative to launch an attack.

The long sword in his hand suddenly slashed down, and sword intent burst forth instantly.

He had long mastered sword intent and had reached the state of perfection.

Feeling Xu Jie's sword, Luo Jiuyou nodded in approval.

"Nice sword intent, stronger than many Heavenly Prides of Zhu Tian Wan Jie."

Seems like he's praising Xu Jie, but it doesn't make people feel very happy.

Because Xu Jie's sword tip had just reached Luo Jiuyou's front, and in the next second, Luo Jiuyou didn't make any move.

He simply constructed a Línglì barrier in front of himself, and then Xu Jie's sword tip fiercely struck the barrier.

It was instantly shattered.

But Luo Jiuyou's Línglì barrier was as stable as Mount Tai, not even a crack appearing.

Facing Xu Jie's attack, Luo Jiuyou easily resolved it, posing no threat whatsoever.

Throughout the process, Luo Jiuyou remained calm and composed.

And don't forget, Luo Jiuyou currently has his cultivation suppressed.
