Chapter 58: Arrogant Tianhan! Where Is the Su Family!!!
Standing atop the royal beast were three young men. The one at the front wore white robes, a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was even more mild and warm.
âEsteemed prodigies of the Divine Xia Empire.â
âI am Liu Mowen, fourth prince of the Tianhan Empire. These two behind me are my fifth and seventh brothers, respectively. It is truly a fated encounter to enter the Inheritance Secret Realm alongside you allâŠâ
Though his appearance was unremarkable and his tone gentle, he stood atop the royal beastâs head, gazing down loftily at all the prodigies below.
While speaking of âfortuneâ, a trace of disdain was concealed deep within his eyes.
The two behind him didnât even bother to hide their scorn.
The fifth prince crouched down and let out a big yawn.
âHeh⊠Fourth Brother, are you serious? These guys are being called prodigies??â
Upon hearing this, the faces of those from the Divine Xia Empire changed drastically. Those who came here were all heavenâs chosen from various clans and sectsâhow could they tolerate such mockery?
They more or less already understood the Tianhan Empireâs true intention in coming here, and naturally, their expressions turned ugly.
âArrogant!!â
âSo this is the unruly pride of the Tianhan Empireâyou really think nothing of us!â
âYou think youâre something special just because you brought a royal beast?!â
âYou keep talking about the Bestowment of Namesâperhaps all youâre doing is finding an excuse to mooch off our Divine Xiaâs Inheritance Secret Realm!â
Hearing these rebukes, Liu Mowenâs smile only grew brighter.
The royal beast beneath him seemed to have received some kind of command.
With a deafening roar, it unleashed billows of inky-black demonic aura. Even the drifting clouds on the horizon were shattered to dust.
At the same time, three terrifying auras burst forthâsimultaneously, with no distinction of precedence.
Buzz!!
An overwhelming power, almost tangible, spread out as lines of patterns in the void.
In that instantâ
All the Divine Xia prodigies fell into silence.
An indescribable suffocating pressure rose in their hearts. It was a complete suppression in terms of cultivation realmâa brutal, overwhelming difference in power.
The dense true qi around them was nearly material, on the verge of condensing into true essenceâŠ
This meant that these three before them had reached the realm ofâ
Half-Step External Manifestation Realm!!
Three prodigies at the Half-Step External Manifestation Realm!!
At that moment, all the Divine Xia prodigies felt their throats go dry.
No one had expected the Tianhan Empire to produce such terrifying prodigies.
Among them, the strongest had only just perfected the Nine Apertures realmâjust a hairâs breadth away from Half-Step External Manifestationâbut that single hair was a chasm of difference!
Even Ji Ruofengâs expression darkened.
His cultivation was at the sixth level of Nine Apertures. At his age, he could crush most Divine Xia prodigies and had reason to be proudâbut in front of these three, he suddenly felt so small.
Ji Ruoyun was even more shocked, her beautiful face pale. She had anticipated that Tianhan would send formidable prodigiesâbut never imagined the gap would be this immense.
âGiven this situation, all hope now rests with the Su familyâŠâ Ji Ruoyun sighed inwardly.
Seeing the Divine Xia prodigies utterly silenced and intimidated, Liu Mowenâs smile turned even more radiant.
âBefore I came, Royal Father warned me to watch out for the Su family⊠Although I donât know which of you might be from this so-called Su family⊠allow me to speak plainlyâeveryone here is just trashâŠâ
His tone was laced with mockery as he looked down on everyone, as though searching for someone.
However, before he could finish his sentenceâ
A sudden change occurred!!
Woooo~
The arrogant half-blood royal beast let out a mournful cry, trembling all over as it collapsed to the ground.
Its once-proud head now seemed desperate to burrow into the dust. Beneath it, even excrement spewed out in frightâa pitiful sight.
Liu Mowen and his two brothers were thrown straight to the ground. Caught off guard, their clothes were even stained with filth.
Awoo!!
A cry rose that sounded like a dragon, yet not, like a horse, yet notâresounding and fierce.
Hearing this sound, the half-blood royal beast trembled even more violently, and in the end, it foamed at the mouth and fainted dead away.
Everyone looked upâonly to see three divine steeds stepping across the sky.
Their bodies shimmered like halos, their white wings like snow, and beneath their hooves flowed wind-shaped spiritual energy!
In the crowd, someone knowledgeable recognized them and couldnât help but cry out:
âPure-blood royal beasts⊠Fierce Wind Heavenly Horse!!â
âThe legendary royal beasts that inherit the full legacy of wind!!â
âHeavens! Even Holy Lands and Immortal Sects might not possess more than a few of these!â
âWho are these people?!â
Liu Mowen and the others staggered up from the ground, faces livid as they looked toward the sky.
âExcellent mounts⊠impressive methods. Might I ask, who are you?â
âTo show us such âcourtesyâ⊠Iâll be sure to return the favor!â
A voice, utterly cold, rang down from the heavens.
âWhat noisy trash dares speak of the Su family!â
In that instant, an icy aura swept across the entire Qingfeng Mountain. The once colorful world seemed to fade under that killing intent.
All that remained in this world⊠was black, whiteâand blood-red!!
