“I’ve got some matters to attend to.”
Fahai said solemnly.
After speaking, he ignored Fan Yao’s confusion and left.
Matters to attend to?
Fan Yao scratched her head, wondering what exactly Fahai was up to.
However, she didn’t think much about it.
Her eyes fell on Sun Wukong and the others, and she generally understood why Fahai had left.
This display of affection could drive anyone away.
In the Three Realms, the battle between Jie and Sun Wukong and his companions aroused discussions among all the powerful beings.
Especially among the Ancient Gods and Devils, who deeply knew Jie’s renown, it was unbelievable for them that Jie would be defeated.
“I truly can’t believe it.
If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t have believed that Jie could be defeated.”
An Ancient God spoke, expressing this sentiment.
He was a Sub-Paramount who had once battled Jie but was quickly defeated.
However, it wasn’t that he wasn’t strong, but rather, he was quite powerful.
It’s just that Jie was even stronger, defeating him without any resistance.
“Indeed, Jie’s strength far surpasses ours.
I never thought he would suffer consecutive defeats.
It’s understandable that he couldn’t beat Sun Wukong—he doesn’t fear Heavenly Thunder—but even Yang Jian bested him.
That’s truly surprising.”
“The beings of later generations are not as weak as you imagine.
Even though Jie might have been defeated, there’s no shame in it.
Those two represent the strongest in their realm among later beings.
Cross-realm killing is common for them.
Their combat strength is comparable to Jie’s, and it’s natural he’s not their match.”
An Ancient Devil spoke highly of Sun Wukong and his companions.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian represented the pinnacle of combat strength in their realm among later beings.
If these two could determine the victor in a battle, it would indicate who was the strongest.
However, aside from the single encounter during the Havoc in Heaven, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had never fought again.
When they met, they were very respectful, appreciating each other as opponents.
Sun Wukong even affectionately called Yang Jian “brother,” and Yang Jian addressed Sun Wukong as “Great Sage,” never showing any disdain.
They were well aware of each other’s strength.
But outsiders did not know who was stronger.
“But then, Jie was almost the strongest in terms of combat strength during the Primordial era.
He even reached the Sub-Paramount realm, yet he still lost to Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
Doesn’t that imply that the beings of the Primordial era are inferior to those of the later generations?”
One Ancient God said unhappily, feeling disgraced.
Sneering, the Ancient God who spoke earlier said, “If you’re unhappy, you can challenge Yang Jian and Sun Wukong yourself to vindicate us Primordial beings.”
Immediately, the speaker fell silent.
He had been defeated by Jie before and was only saved when a Supreme in his family intervened.
Even now, the mere mention of Jie made him tremble with fear.
His discontent stemmed from wanting others to develop animosity towards Jie and potentially ostracize him from the Primordial beings.
But his intentions were seen through, and someone rebutted him.
Soon, Jie appeared.
His injuries completely healed, his eyes cold as he said, “Great Sage Equal to Heaven and Judicial Deity Yang Jian are exceedingly talented and powerful.
I feel ashamed in comparison.
They are much stronger than me, but if you think I am weak, you can certainly try to challenge me.
Although I am not their match, I am confident I can easily defeat you.”
Among the Ancient Gods and Devils, everyone below Supreme fell silent.
Strength speaks, and it’s that simple.
Although Jie was defeated by the two, he could unhesitatingly suppress them.
So, what could they say?
If you’re unhappy, then come and fight—this was Jie’s attitude.
Everyone thought this matter would settle down.
At most, people would talk about it over meals, and it would eventually fade away.
But then, news broke that a Human Race youth suddenly emerged and challenged Jie.
In just a few hundred rounds, Jie was defeated.
He fled in disarray, and had the Empress not intervened promptly, the youth would have killed Jie.
The world was shaken.
Even Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned when he heard the news.
Who possessed such formidable strength?
Could it have been a Supreme who intervened?
“The person who acted was a Great Heavenly Venerate, perhaps a top-tier one, but his strength was overwhelming for Jie.
In a few hundred rounds, Jie was almost killed.”
An Ancient God who witnessed the whole affair spoke out.
The Three Realms were in turmoil, and all the Immortals and Buddhas were in an uproar.
No one expected a Human Race youth to be so dominant.
Even Sun Wukong and his companions needed thousands of rounds to defeat Jie.
Yet, an emerging Human Race youth defeated Jie in just a few hundred moves.
Was the Human Race about to rise?
With the vast numbers in the Human Race, if there were more geniuses like this, would there be room for anyone else in the Three Realms?
Sun Wukong sent a message, asking Suiren for information about the Human Race youth.
He was merely curious about the powerful figure who could defeat Jie.
Suiren replied, telling Sun Wukong he knew nothing of the youth and was also trying to track him down to understand his origins.
Suiren was worried the Empress might misunderstand and think the Human Race intended to make trouble for them.
In reality, the Empress could be described as furious.
