Chapter 260

Atop Tongtian Peak, Yang Chen and Yu Xuan stepped into the Heavenly Dao Hall.

At this moment, the great hall was filled with numerous cultivators.

Each one radiated a powerful aura—all of them were in the Void Refinement Realm. And there were no fewer than fifty or sixty of them.

This alone was a testament to the Heavenly Dao Holy Land’s formidable foundation. Because these were only the under-2,000-year-old Void Refinement cultivators.

Cultivators like Yu Zun and Yu Xuan, who had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm before the age of 1,000, were prodigies of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden level.

For the majority, achieving Void Refinement only happened after 1,500 years of cultivation. And there were still many who had reached Void Refinement in their 1,000s, but had now surpassed the 2,000-year-old threshold.

In other words, the fifty or sixty Void Refinement cultivators present were merely a small fraction of the Holy Land’s total Void Refinement experts.

—

Seeing Yang Chen approach, the cultivators immediately saluted: “Greetings, Holy Son!”

Although they were of the same cultivation level as Yu Xuan, they did not have to be overly respectful toward her. But when facing Yang Chen, the Holy Son, they had no choice but to show deference.

In Heavenly Dao Holy Land, the status of the Holy Son was second only to the Holy Lord. Moreover, the talent of this Holy Son was utterly terrifying.

At just First stage of the Void Refinement realm, he had already defeated the arrogant Yu Zun. Such unparalleled talent was practically unheard of in this era. If nothing unexpected happened, he was destined to be the next Holy Lord.

—

“Senior brothers and sisters, greetings! I am new here, so I ask for your guidance in the future!”

Yang Chen cupped his hands in return, his face full of warmth, with not the slightest hint of arrogance. His handsome features combined with the radiance of divine light exuding from his body. He looked just like a mortal world’s True Immortal.

Several female cultivators who were also ranked on the Immortal Fairy List couldn’t help but gaze at him with admiration, their beautiful eyes sparkling.

In their hearts, they couldn’t help but feel a slight envy toward Yu Xuan. Even though Yu Xuan had never officially held the title of Holy Maiden, she would most likely become the Holy Lord’s wife in the future.

And this Holy Son was not only peerlessly talented, but his temperament and bearing were truly extraordinary, making him the perfect Dao companion.

Unfortunately, they did not have an aunt like the Holy Lord and thus were not qualified for such a marriage alliance.

—

“Yang Chen!” At that moment, a deep, furious voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall.

Immediately afterward, a violent wave of true qi surged forth. The cultivators standing near Yang Chen were blown back several steps.

Yang Chen turned around, his lips curling into a faint smirk.

The one who had just spoken was Yu Zun, of course.

At this moment, Yu Zun’s face was as dark as the abyss. His sharp eyes were locked onto him. No, not on him, but on Yu Xuan.

—

“Xuan’er, come here! Our Yu Clan does not need to form marriage alliances with anyone! I will personally speak to Aunt and have her annul your engagement with that bastard Yang Chen! He is unworthy of you!”

Yu Zun’s voice was low and forceful.

He had just come out of seclusion only to discover that his aunt had actually betrothed his cousin to Yang Chen.

Not only that, but she had even moved into Youyue Peak.

He and his cousin had grown up together, training side by side since childhood.

In the depths of his heart, his cousin and his aunt were the two most important women in his life.

They were his forbidden treasures! They could not be touched or defiled by anyone!

But fortunately, the sacred light on his cousin’s body remained intact. She was still pure. She had not yet been defiled by that bastard Yang Chen.

Everything, was still salvageable.

…

Yu Zun’s worries faded as he stared directly at Yang Chen, his body radiating an overwhelming jade-white divine brilliance.

An endless fighting spirit surged once more. Previously, he had suffered a crushing defeat at Yang Chen’s hands, nearly shattering his invincible Dao heart.

However, during his time recovering within the clan’s territory, he had unexpectedly obtained an inheritance from one of the Jade Clan’s past sages in their ancestral tombs.

His cultivation had broken through another level, and his strength had seen a significant boost. Moreover, he had acquired an ancient spear from that sage’s tomb.

Though not a sacred artifact, its power was not inferior in the slightest. Even more importantly, the ancient spear suited him perfectly.

Yu Zun was confident—his current strength was enough to crush Yang Chen with ease.

“Yang Chen! Do you dare fight me!?” Yu Zun’s voice boomed like a great bell.

The aura of his Fifth stage Void Refinement Realm surged forth without restraint. Through this battle, he wanted to announce to everyone once again—he, Yu Zun, was invincible!

To rebuild his invincible Dao heart, he had to defeat that bastard Yang Chen!

Furthermore, only by defeating Yang Chen and reclaiming the position of the Holy Son would his aunt listen to him and annul their engagement. Otherwise, if his cousin continued to stay with that bastard Yang Chen, with her unparalleled beauty, it would only be a matter of time before she was tainted by him!

“Junior brother! The Heavenly Dao Hall is where the Holy Lord resides. How dare you act so recklessly—! Besides, we will soon be heading to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm. As fellow Heavenly Dao cultivators, we should set aside past grievances and join forces. Now is definitely not the time for internal conflict!”

A Seventh stage Void Refinement Realm cultivator spoke up.

Among the dozens of Void Refinement cultivators in the grand hall, his cultivation was the highest, so he took the initiative to intervene.

However, Yu Zun’s expression instantly turned icy. Without hesitation, he threw a punch.

The jade-white divine brilliance condensed into a spear of light, striking straight at the Seventh stage Void Refinement cultivator.

“Get out of my way!”

“Senior brother Wang Yuan! Be careful!”

The many Void Refinement cultivators in the grand hall sensed the overwhelming power of that spear and quickly warned him.

Wang Yuan’s face turned grim.

He hastily raised his hand to block the attack.

Shing!
