Seeking trouble!
This was precisely what Dongfang Qingkong was thinking at the moment. Although his elder brother possessed formidable strength, Dongfang Qingkong was well aware that his current master's combat power could absolutely annihilate his elder brother.
He considered this to be beyond doubt!
Of course, Dongfang Mingxuan had this thought not because he wanted to defeat Ye Xuan, but because he wanted to gauge the difference in combat power between himself and Ye Xuan.
Among the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan present, excluding Dongfang Mingxuan, everyone else was a cultivator above the seventh-tier Venerable realm. As for Dongfang Mingxuan, he was an eighth-tier Venerable expert. These ten individuals could all be said to possess the combat power of a Guiyuan Sect deacon, and their ambitions were not limited to becoming deacons.
Furthermore, all ten of them were aware of Ye Xuan's strength. It was precisely because of this that they were eager to battle this existence who was even more monstrous than them, to temper their minds and advance further on their cultivation path.
As the ten strongest individuals of Guiyuan Sect, the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan were the future pillars of the sect. Especially Dongfang Mingxuan, he was destined to be the future Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect.
Although Dongfang Qingkong also possessed extreme talent, he was still too weak at present.
"What does Young Friend Ye think?"
Dongfang Shuobei did not directly agree to his son's request. Instead, he looked at Ye Xuan, because he knew that his second son was by no means his second son's master's opponent. Although his second son's master was only at the peak of the seventh-tier Venerable realm, his combat power far surpassed that of his son.
Dongfang Shuobei was well aware of this!
"Very well."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and did not refuse, continuing, "I also wish to witness the strength of the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan."
After all, with the system's mission, he would naturally not refuse such a good opportunity to gain fame for Guiyuan Sect. The rewards of five million Galactic Coins and two hundred thousand top-grade Imperial Crystals were quite tempting.
"I agree."
As expected, Ye Xuan agreed to the challenge from the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan, and this statement drew the attention of many Guiyuan Sect disciples.
Although Ye Xuan's performance during the beast tide that day was astonishing, they, the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan, were not to be trifled with. In terms of combat power, the ten of them combined could even kill ninth-tier Venerable beasts.
"However, I have a condition."
Immediately after, a calm voice echoed, and this voice instantly captured everyone's attention in the hall.
"Oh?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Dongfang Shuobei, who was seated at the head of the table, showed a hint of interest in his eyes. "Young Friend Ye, please speak."
He attached great importance to his second son's master!
After all, a seventh-tier Venerable peak cultivator who was less than a hundred years old was unprecedented in the history of the Galactic Empire.
Based on this alone, Dongfang Shuobei knew that if this Ye Xuan did not perish, his future achievements would be limitless. At present, Guiyuan Sect, and even the Galactic Empire, were merely temporary stops for him.
A joke?
Having lived for thousands of years, he naturally knew what it meant to soar from a second-tier Venerable to the peak of the seventh-tier Venerable realm in just a few months.
"Hmm."
"To save time, I want all ten of you to come at me together."
Ye Xuan, who had flashed to the center of the martial arts field, exuded a peak seventh-tier Venerable aura all around him. Facing him were the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan.
"Good!"
Dongfang Mingxuan narrowed his eyes. He did not believe that Ye Xuan was being provocative. This was because he knew that his second brother's master genuinely possessed the strength and confidence to make such a demand.
"Then as you wish!"
As Dongfang Mingxuan's voice fell, and before Dongfang Shuobei could speak, the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan transformed into ten streaks of light and attacked Ye Xuan.
Their speed was astonishing, and their attacks were fierce, showing no mercy at all!
The reason for this was simple!
Because they knew deeply how terrifying Ye Xuan's combat power was. To put it bluntly, even if all ten of them joined forces, they did not have a ten percent chance of defeating Ye Xuan.
Boom!!
The attacks of Dongfang Mingxuan and the other nine instantly collided with Ye Xuan, unleashing torrents of lightning. In the next moment, terrifying energy surged outwards, and this energy alone was enough to threaten ninth-tier Venerable experts.
To everyone's astonishment, under the clash of attacks, Dongfang Mingxuan and the other nine were blasted back several feet. On the other hand, Ye Xuan did not retreat half a step.
After this single exchange, everyone looked at the center of the arena, their eyes filled with horror.
How could this be?
Everyone looked at the scene in disbelief, their hearts filled with surprise, astonishment, and bewilderment.
All sorts of emotions surged within them at once. It was unbelievable, too unbelievable. That young man had defeated all of the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan with his own strength. What kind of combat power was this?
And...
More importantly, this young man's strength was only at the peak of the seventh-tier Venerable realm. Furthermore, with a single move he defeated the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan, his combat power was likely comparable to at least a ninth-tier Venerable.
"My fellow disciples, lend me a hand!"
Dongfang Mingxuan's eyes flashed as he said to the other Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan behind him.
"Yes, Senior Disciple Mingxuan!"
As expected, Dongfang Mingxuan held a high position in the hearts of the Guiyuan Sect disciples. The other Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan responded in unison.
Their actions were not hesitant in the slightest. They clearly trusted their Eldest Young Master, Senior Disciple Mingxuan, implicitly!
At this moment, the full power of the nine surged into Dongfang Mingxuan's body. Under this move, Dongfang Mingxuan's aura rapidly increased at a visible rate, soon reaching the peak of the eighth-tier Great Emperor.
Then, the extreme peak of the eighth-tier Great Emperor, the ninth-tier Great Emperor!
"Take this!!"
As his voice fell, Dongfang Mingxuan closed his eyes, then opened them again. A sword of scorching flames appeared in his hand. Dongfang Mingxuan had displayed his mastery of fire cultivation to its absolute limit.
"【Guiyuan Slash】!!"
He unleashed the Guiyuan Sect's foundational sword technique, Guiyuan Slash. This technique was extremely extraordinary.
Hiss~
Immediately, a hundred-foot-long giant sword of flames appeared in the void, slashing down at Ye Xuan without hesitation. Its momentum was incredibly terrifying; even a ninth-tier Venerable would likely turn pale at the sight of it.
"Oh?"
"Such an attack??"
Seeing the giant sword of flames descending upon him, Ye Xuan curled his lips. With a flip of his right hand, the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear appeared in his grasp. "Quite interesting!"
As his voice fell, Ye Xuan was already enveloped in lightning. His entire being was bathed in the thunder, and at this moment, Ye Xuan's aura grew even stronger.
The peak of the seventh-tier, its limit!
That's right!!
As the aura of the peak seventh-tier extreme surged, a single thrust of the thunder spear shattered the hundred-foot giant sword with overwhelming force. In the utterly astonished eyes of Dongfang Qingkong and the other nine, a terrifying energy surged towards them.
The Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan were sent flying back dozens of feet. Pfft, pfft, pfft~~
Then...
Streams of blood sprayed into the air. Including Dongfang Mingxuan, all of the Ten Prodigies of Guiyuan had faces as pale as paper, clearly suffering no light injuries. Especially Dongfang Mingxuan, his heart was even more shaken, "As expected... my second brother's master is even more powerful than I imagined. But where does this person come from, to possess such heaven-defying talent!!!"
