Chapter 128: The Human Race's Prodigies Have Arrived Too!

"The demon race is brimming with talent!"

Watching Jin Chen depart, Bei Chenheng also withdrew his divine sense and said in a deep voice.

A powerful foreign race was not a good thing for the human race.

However, as a Divine Emperor, his knowledge was naturally broader. He wouldn't be as worried as the crowd outside.

Because he understood that the demon race was no longer the demon race of ancient times.

Now, times had changed.

Among the demon race, the ancient imperial clans had risen. For the Golden Crow clan alone to integrate the demon race was nothing short of a fool's dream. Never mind the Golden-Winged Peng clan for now.

Other clans, such as the True Phoenix and True Dragon—which one would be willing to submit to another?

Right now, the Dragon clan was in the sea, without any natural enemies. They ruled the four seas and eight wildernesses. Wasn't it good to be the overlord of the seas?

More importantly, some clans in the demon race were natural enemies. The Golden-Winged Peng had a history of eating dragons. For them to get along with the True Dragon clan would be a miracle.

"Senior."

Bei Chenheng walked up to Li Yun, holding the jade slip, and asked softly, "In your opinion, which has more value, the human prodigy leaderboard or the demon race prodigy leaderboard?"

"You want to know?" Li Yun raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Does it... cost money?" Bei Chenheng's heart sank.

"Not necessarily."

Li Yun waved his hand, and another jade slip appeared in his palm. He waved it in the air and said, "In a while, the Myriad Races Prodigy Leaderboard will appear."

"You don't need to be in a hurry."

The reason he hadn't taken it out was that the Golden-Winged Peng had just left. The man had traded resources for a demon race prodigy leaderboard. If he, in turn, threw out a Myriad Races Prodigy Leaderboard, he might feel that he had lost out too much.

For the sake of Jin Chen's feelings, Li Yun decided to wait a while before putting this out.

"Er..."

Bei Chenheng glanced at the jade slip and asked, "How long do I have to wait?"

"Soon!"

Li Yun replied with two words.

...

Outside the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Jin Chen walked out step by step. The people gathered around retreated one after another.

"He's out!"

"The seventeenth on the Prodigy Leaderboard, Jin Chen!"

"To be precise, the seventeenth on the demon race prodigy leaderboard!"

"What a terrifying aura. Did he go into the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets just now to buy some information? He went in, and the demon race prodigy leaderboard came out right after. There must be some connection between the two!"

"Hey, why isn't he leaving after coming out of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?"

The people standing around all moved dozens of zhang away, not daring to get too close. The pressure Jin Chen gave off was too great, like a towering mountain.

Most of the people here were rogue cultivators, with a few inner disciples from Sacred Lands. They couldn't withstand such might.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Jin Chen with curiosity.

This Young Lord of the Golden-Winged Peng clan had been standing there quietly since he came out, like a door guard, as if he were guarding the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Or as if he were waiting for someone.

Not long after.

An old servant beside him suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Young Lord, they're here!"

"Hmm?"

With a "hum," Jin Chen opened his eyes. His golden hair flew, his long robes fluttered, and his blood energy erupted like a volcano, sweeping across the sky.

In that instant, his fighting spirit turned into a vast ocean, covering the entire Great Desolate City!

He looked up and saw a streak of light rapidly approaching from the edge of the sky.

"Swoosh!"

The streak of light landed, the brilliance dissipated, and a three-zhang-high golden divine beast, like a small mountain, appeared. Its fur was brilliant, every strand crystalline and gleaming.

A terrifying might emanated from it, making the air creak.

On top of the golden divine beast sat a man in white, like a saint, with a trace of heroism in his elegance.

He arrived before the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, looked down at Jin Chen, his brow furrowing slightly, and a gentle voice came from his mouth: "A fellow Daoist from the demon race?"

"Jin Chen of the Golden-Winged Peng clan!"

Jin Chen spoke, his voice like the clashing of gold and iron, sonorous and powerful!

The two looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air. An invisible wave swept in all directions, and countless people were unsteady on their feet, pushed away one after another.

"It's the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning!"

"I never thought that today, our human prodigies would also arrive!"

"Good, the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning will teach him how to behave today. A demon daring to be so arrogant in human territory—is he tired of living?"

"Quiet down, the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning is only ranked twenty-fourth on the Prodigy Leaderboard. The Golden-Winged Peng Young Lord is ranked seventeenth. There's a gap of several places!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What's the relationship between the human prodigy leaderboard and the demon race prodigy leaderboard?"

"Exactly. If this Golden-Winged Peng Young Lord were placed on the human prodigy leaderboard, it's not certain if he could even make it into the top fifty."

"You're underestimating the foundation of the Golden-Winged Peng."

...

The two prodigies met, facing each other head-on.

For a moment, neither was willing to back down. Although they hadn't started fighting, the air between them was already thick with tension!

Although the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning was gentle and refined, it didn't mean he had no temper.

Who among those who could become a Sacred Son didn't have some tricks up their sleeve?

The other party was standing at the door, blocking it, clearly waiting for him on purpose. If he were to back down now, it wouldn't just be him who would lose face, but the Primal Beginning Sacred Land behind him would also be disgraced.

As for the people gathered around, they were not afraid of things getting out of hand. They were all hoping that the two would fight.

This way, the gap between the two prodigy leaderboards could be seen at a glance.

In any case, the Sacred Son of Primal Beginning's ranking was lower than Jin Chen's.

Losing would be no loss, winning would be a huge gain.
