Chapter 349: Famed Across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

Grey-robed Old Man's words were like a massive stone dropped onto a calm lake, stirring up countless ripples.

The meaning and allure of the eight‑character Great Thousand Divine Universe Holy Son selection were incomparable to the Heavenly Pride who, having survived countless battles and climbed the Young Supreme throne upon the corpses of their peers, stood there.

After a brief silence came an almost uncontrollable boiling!

"The Great Thousand Divine Universe Holy Son... a selection that occurs only once per era!"

"If one becomes a Holy Son, what would that mean? Endless resource favor, the most profound inheritances unlocked, and even... a chance to behold the few legendary supreme beings who dominate eternity in the Great Thousand Divine Universe and receive their guidance!"

"Join! Must join! I entered this nine‑to‑one trial precisely for today!"

"The Holy Son position... even if the chance is one in a hundred million, we must fight for it! It's the only chance to change fate, even to alter our clan's destiny!"

With almost no hesitation, all surviving Young Supremes, after a glance or a brief mental exchange, made the same choice!

Join the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

"The Great Thousand Divine Universe... that legendary supreme power... watching epochs turn, overlooking eternal time and space... who wouldn't want to join?"

A cultured, elegant Heavenly Pride holding a jade flute sighed, explaining that he came from a reclusive family that entered the Dao through music and fully understood the benefits of joining such a power.

"Indeed, many beings take part in the Great Thousand Divine Universe Trial, ultimately to join that legendary force, gaining protection and a broader stage!"

Even heirs and Young Masters born into already illustrious lineages backed by titans such as the Peerless Sacred Realm and the Undying Aristocratic Family showed little hesitation now.

Their backing may be strong, yet the Great Thousand Divine Universe's unique status, its resource network spanning Zhutian Wanjie, and its unfathomable depth remain irresistibly lethal in appeal.

Here they can reach broader realms, stronger opponents, and... an even more limitless future!

Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen stood side by side, unsurprised by the surrounding Heavenly Pride's excitement and resolve.

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing a sharp edge beneath the other's calm.

To them, joining the Great Thousand Divine Universe was a natural step—a perfect platform to test their Dao Fruit and scale higher peaks.

And the Holy Son selection was an unmissable feast, a stage to compete alongside the true top monsters of Zhutian Wanjie!

Ao Tianyin of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan, this Dragon Clan Heavenly Pride, had at this moment regained part of his majesty, golden light flickering between his dragon eyes.

Clearly, he would not miss the Holy Son selection opportunity.

Chen Shimei, Huang Fuyao, Ji Hongyu, Mu Yutiandie and other monsters were evidently the same.

Even if they could not claim the Holy Son seat, merely witnessing that pinnacle battle was worthwhile.

"Everyone, now that it's decided, board the ship with me."

Grey-robed Old Man saw this and a faint, knowing smile appeared on his face.

With a wave of his right hand, a magnificent vessel, modest yet exuding endless luxury and ancient aura, accompanied by a low hum, fully materialized before the crowd.

The hull, forged from unknown divine wood and celestial gold, bore a dark‑gold sheen, etched with countless intricate, profound immortal runes that slowly rotated, as if expounding an eternal Tiandao principle.

The massive ship had no sails or oars, yet it naturally radiated a vast aura of crossing star seas and traversing Zhutian.

Holding back their excitement, the crowd, at Grey-robed Old Man's signal, transformed into streaks of light and flew onto the ship's deck.

The deck was immensely wide, able to hold ten thousand people without crowding; the floor was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sky's multicolored glow.

When the last person boarded, Grey-robed Old Man flickered into view, already standing before an inconspicuous jade control platform at the bow.

He made no elaborate gestures, simply embedding a rustic token into the platform's groove.

"Hum—!"

The entire vessel shuddered violently, all immortal runes on its hull lit up simultaneously, emitting a soft yet grand radiance.

In the next instant, the ship seemed to break free of space, silently soaring upward, becoming a streak of dark‑gold light that slashed the eternal silence, thrust into the multicolored heavens of the ultimate battlefield, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The ship sailed with extreme steadiness, barely a hint of sway.

Inside the cabin, a self‑contained space, Grey-robed Old Man assigned each Heavenly Pride a private quiet room for rest and recuperation.

Yet now, most were uninterested in meditation, gathering on the deck or common areas, excitedly whispering about the approaching Great Thousand Divine Universe holy site and the thrilling Holy Son selection.

As Ye Wuque and his companions rode the massive ship through mysterious star routes toward the supreme holy ground of the Great Thousand Divine Universe, the outside world—entire Zhutian Wanjie—had already been roiled by a torrent of news about this trial.

The speed of the news spread was beyond imagination.

Countless ancient information channels, transmission arrays spanning Star Domains, and even some great beings adept at divining heavenly mechanisms instantly disseminated the trial's astonishing deeds.

"Did you hear? The Great Thousand Divine Universe Young Supreme trial is over! This batch produced some truly extraordinary monsters!"

"Not just monsters! It's a legend! That guy Ye Wuque, and Feng Caichen, they're absurdly powerful!"

"They can casually suppress contemporary Heavenly Pride, bulldoze the trial ground; it's said even some ancient forbidden techniques can't affect them!"

"Despair! Those who've seen the Portrait Stone say the so‑called Heavenly Pride who fought them were like children challenging a deity!"

Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen's names echoed across one Star Domain after another at an unprecedented speed, spreading through countless ancient realms.

Their deeds, embellished over time, grew ever more legendary, becoming an unattainable myth for countless Young Beings—a wall of despair that left them only to look up, unable to muster any courage to chase.

Moreover, a piece of news, like a deep‑water bomb, caused violent tremors between higher‑tier powers and ancient entities:

Beings who took part in the Saint King trial confirmed that Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen also appeared in that Saint King trial!

"What?! They... they also joined the Saint King trial??"

"What does that mean? Could it be..."

"The more you think, the more terrifying!"

"Regardless! The monster hierarchy has completely shifted! From now on, the pinnacle of the younger generation across Zhutian Wanjie will likely be firmly occupied by these two names!"

Nine Heavens Ten Earths, Boundless Heaven's southern realm.

Undying Aristocratic Family Ye Clan.

At this moment they are at the storm's core, with internal waves of unimaginable turbulence!
