The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 377: A Man’s Unique Pain

The Southern Celestial King and the Chen Family members were overjoyed.

In this battle, if Xiao Jianting won, their Chen Family could become a Yellow-level Sect within the Hidden Gate.

After all, Xiao Jianting was a Martial God, and having a Martial God to oversee them meant they could establish a sect within the Hidden Gate.

Thinking of this, the Southern Celestial King became even more excited.

Anticipating a great victory for Xiao Jianting in this battle!

However, Ye Qingtian knew that Xiao Jianting fundamentally didn’t belong to this Martial Arts System; his Divine Techniques arose from his Nine Yang Divine Body bloodline.

This physique was extremely powerful and terrifying, standing unparalleled in the world.

In Ye Qingtian’s mind, there’s a vague impression: it seems that the Nine Yang Divine Body is one of the most powerful physiques across the myriad worlds.

Xiao Jianting’s bloodline erupted with frightening Divine Technique power.

It could be said that Xiao Jianting and he were of the same kind.

Suddenly, Xiao Jianting’s bloodline Divine Technique activated, a mighty air current shocked the entire place, like a blazing sun falling, the surrounding temperature soaring like they were in searing magma.

"This... it’s way too terrifying, isn’t it?"

Everyone was extremely shocked, the intense heat seemed ready to strip a layer of skin from them.

This explosive scorching temperature was unbearable even for Martial Emperor Strong Persons, as if the high temperature was going to melt them.

If not for the support of numerous Martial Emperors, everyone would’ve died.

Xiao Jianting’s aura shifted dramatically, his whole being exuding a divine majesty that suppressed the world, like basking in brilliant divine light.

Where he stood, there was an innate kingly aura, oppressing the universes.

After all, this was a Nine Yang Divine Body, a powerful bloodline ranked among the ten thousand races.

"Boom..."

A fierce wind roared through the heavens, and terrifying explosive sounds echoed.

Suddenly, nine blazing suns appeared behind Xiao Jianting, each engulfed in towering flames, their overwhelming might covering the skies, their dazzling brilliance surpassing all light in the heavens, including the real sun above.

The nine blazing suns ascended, burning the heavens and earth, as if placing people in the mythical scene of ten suns rising into the sky.

Xiao Jianting resembled an ancient Divine Spirit descended into the world, nine suns rising in the sky, following like a divine image.

"A battle of deities! A series of battles between deities!"

The onlookers exclaimed with astonishment, as the figures before them far exceeded their imagination.

"Why do I feel something off, it’s as if Jianting is not at the Martial God Realm, yet he possesses the power of a Martial God."

The Southern Celestial King spoke in surprise.

Other veteran members of the Hidden Gate were also perplexed: "Indeed, something feels off! He hasn’t refined a Martial Seal, nor does he have the aura of a Martial Emperor, yet he’s terrifying beyond reason!"

Before anyone could be more surprised, the battle in the field had reached a fever pitch.

The nine blazing suns behind Xiao Jianting burst out with unmatched divine brilliance, enveloping Ye Qingtian.

The Nine Suns burned the sky, incinerating everything.

All beings within the area covered by the Nine Suns would have their souls dissipated.

Not to mention all the power of the Nine Suns was focused solely on Ye Qingtian!

This was the strongest move displayed by Xiao Jianting, who already regarded Ye Qingtian as his greatest enemy.

"Hmph, is that all?"

Ye Qingtian sneered coldly.

He took a step forward, and everyone distinctly heard a "crack," like ice shattering.

With a second step, there was another "crack."

After three consecutive steps, the most direct sensation amongst the onlookers was the temperature.

In that moment, it seemed like the harshest winter descended, everyone felt as if they had plunged into a glacier thousands of years old, the cold piercing to the bone.

This change was too jarring, moving directly from the horror of a volcanic mouth to the Antarctic ice cave.

"Look quickly..."

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoxiao exclaimed, covering her small mouth.

Everyone couldn’t help but look over, only to be greeted by an unbelievable sight...

Underneath Ye Qingtian’s feet, an ice surface appeared, rapidly spreading around, emitting cracking sounds.

Moments later, this area was covered with an endless ice surface and several ice mountains.

The cold continued to spread, even reaching the air, freezing the Nine Suns in place, with Xiao Jianting encased in ice mid-air.

In that instant, the whole world seemed to have plunged into an Ice Age.

Terrifying!

Simply too terrifying!

Simultaneously, a message became clear: Xiao Jianting had lost.

"The Divine Techniques at the Martial God Realm, truly terrifying! Freezing a hundred miles!"

"I’ve witnessed Ye Xiaoyao’s move before, once freezing the Five Dragons of Huaxia!"

"Huaxia Martial Arts Dao’s pinnacle! Even entering the Hidden Gate, a sect can be established, this is a Martial God Level existence!"

...

The crowd was about to go crazy.

Mu Xingchen and Liu Xiefeng were also stunned.

With Ye Qingtian’s strength at this level, only the superiors within the sects of the Hidden Gate could compare.

Even upon entering the Hidden Gate, he could easily climb the Celestial Pride True Dragon List, on nearly the same level as those celestial prides like the Celestial Martial Goddess.

Ye Qingtian took another step, the ice fields disappeared, the nine suns vanished, and Xiao Jianting fell from the sky, seriously injured.

"Seeing as you’re quite skilled with fire, I’ll take you in for now, for future grilling and warmth."

Ye Qingtian said indifferently.

Xiao Jianting was filled with rage, yet dared not oppose.

He alone knew best just how powerful the person in front of him was.

In the recent battle, what everyone saw was only the surface, only he had truly comprehended Ye Qingtian’s horror.

"He doesn’t belong to the Martial Arts Realm! He’s far more powerful than my inheritance."

Xiao Jianting’s heart trembled.

"Where’s the Treasure Map? Bring it up!"

Ye Qingtian commanded coldly.

This demand nearly made Chen Longfan spit blood in fear, hastily instructing someone to hand over the Treasure Map to Ye Qingtian.

"Let’s go! I’ll teach you how to do laundry, no need to thank me!"

Ye Qingtian said to Jenny.

Jenny quickly left, feeling relieved.

Yet, there was a trace of loss...

"As for you?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingtian’s gaze fell on Mu Xingchen.

"Divine Monarch, spare my life! I won’t do it again..."

Mu Xingchen could only submit.

The Martial God reigned over the world, Mu Xingchen promptly addressed him as Divine Monarch.

Ye Qingtian sneered: "I know what you’re thinking, you’re biding your time, planning to rise up against me later. I give you this chance."

"Hoo!"

Mu Xingchen sighed in relief.

"Bang!"

But the next moment, Mu Xingchen was struck severely below, making a dull sound.

Mu Xingchen heard the sound of cracking, he clutched his body in pain, rolling and howling on the ground.

There’s a type of pain a man feels, called a slight sadness.

After dealing with Mu Xingchen, Ye Qingtian’s gaze landed on Liu Zhishang: "Mr. Liu, come with me!"

"Yes, Divine Monarch!"

Liu Zhishang agreed without hesitation.

The peak battle between South Jianting and North Xiaoyao concluded: Ye Xiaoyao won, regaining first place on both lists, and claiming the titles "First of the Outer Hidden Gate" and "Divine Monarch."

All of Huaxia was in an uproar...

After returning to his residence, Ye Qingtian faced Liu Zhishang alone.

"Let’s cut to the chase, I want to know about the three mysterious people you tracked at the Ye Family ancestral home back in the day, who were they?"

Ye Qingtian asked directly.
