Chapter 1784 - 1599: Unfathomable
Gong Xuan was very puzzled and unwilling. Not only did he fail to achieve the expected effect, but he also publicly apologized before everyone at the Trial Ancient Pass, making him feel very aggrieved.
If possible, he would rather die fighting than be like this; it truly undermines the dignity of their Ancient Road Dominator status. If word got out, what would people think of the Gong Family Three Brothers?
"Elder brother, I, second brother, believe that even if we don’t unite as one, just you taking action could definitely kill that hateful Combat Saint King. He is only a Great Power First Layer Heaven, vastly different in realm. Why would we diminish our prestige and apologize to him?"
As the second brother, Gong Nanshan also felt puzzled. Although this Combat Saint King’s battle prowess was indeed excessively strong, able to directly clash with them, they were renowned Ancient Road Dominators, and not just in name. Truly fighting, there was no fear of this Combat Saint King.
They were even confident that once they made a move, they had more than a ninety percent chance of killing the Combat Saint King.
Gong Nanshan deeply believed in their elder brother Gong Shenxue’s formidable cultivation, which not only surpassed the other two Ancient Road Dominators but also, even if the two brothers joined forces, defeating the elder brother was not a certainty. There was no doubt in his powerful cultivation!
On the central throne of the residence, Gong Shenxue sat, surrounded by Immortal Radiance, handsome like jade, his skin glowing with divine light. Undoubtedly, he was a beautiful young man out of the ordinary, possessing a kind of immortal aura, appearing even more attractive than many women, and his hair shone with a brilliant light.
He said, "He is very powerful and mustn’t be underestimated!"
Though it was just a simple sentence, it made the other two Ancient Road Dominators, Gong Nanshan and Gong Xuan, change their expressions as if they had seen something terrifying, very shocked.
Gong Shenxue, although dignified and gentle, was known by his two brothers to be inwardly a proud Supreme Genius, rarely recognizing others, especially peers. There were not many who could earn his acknowledgment.
Even though they were stronger than ordinary Young Supremes, they were only grudgingly acknowledged. Only Emperor’s children, Supreme Heirs, were truly recognized.
Moreover, Gong Shenxue had the qualification; even in the Primordial Immortal Realm, those Supreme Immortal offspring were quite afraid of him, acknowledging his battle prowess.
Thus, it made the two brothers incredulous that a mere Great Power First Layer Heaven Combat Saint King would be acknowledged by Gong Shenxue.
Gong Shenxue’s eyes were calm but profound, sweeping over his two brothers, making Gong Nanshan and Gong Xuan lower their heads, saying, "He might be just a Great Power First Layer Heaven, but don’t forget that he’s not just a Supreme Genius; he’s also a Young Supreme of the Combat Saint Lineage, a Chaos Cultivator. It’s rumored that in this epoch, he’s the first Supreme Genius in the Sealing Universe to achieve the Ten-layered Heaven Level, no weaker than an Emperor’s son, perhaps even stronger."
"Great Power First Layer Heaven? As I understand, even when he wasn’t at this stage, he could face off against Great Power Fifth Layer Heaven. Now, as a Chaos Great Power, his battle strength is immeasurable. I can’t claim a full certainty of victory either. Had I not come today and intervened, given the Combat Saint King’s character, you both likely wouldn’t have returned."
Suddenly, Gong Nanshan and Gong Xuan felt chills on their backs. They had always believed the Combat Saint King defied immortality and challenged the Heavenly King Peak against Great Power Fifth Layer Heaven with the aid of Supreme Emperor Weapons, but according to Gong Shenxue’s words, it was clear the Combat Saint King achieved this purely on his own cultivation. Now achieving Great Power status was no less than the brother’s, what terrifying battle strength!
Just thinking about it was enough to make one shudder.
"You were really excessive, dispatching Chitian King and others while I was in secluded cultivation, allowing the Combat Saint King to come and meet us. Had he been a little more assertive, it wouldn’t have ended so easily." Gong Shenxue said again, sounding calm but putting great pressure on the two.
"Elder brother, but if the three of us joined forces, no matter how strong he is, he would be subdued. I don’t believe he could kill the two of us in your presence." Gong Xuan retorted defiantly.
His elder brother Gong Shenxue, though not a Supreme Heir, was nearly as strong, among the top rank of Supreme Genius, having entered the Great Power Realm for a hundred years, deeply accomplished. Once he acted, even the powerful Combat Saint King wouldn’t be able to resist. What’s more, with the three brothers united, they could certainly crush ahead.
Gong Shenxue remained calm as ever, his smile carrying a different kind of charm, saying, "No matter, the city isn’t a suitable place for combat, and his contribution to this Ancient Universe would surely face repercussions if attacked."
They knew well of Ye Chen’s carrying of the Heavenly Tribulation to prevent the Alien Five Emperors from crossing realms, successfully breaking the Cosmic Channel. The three brothers certainly understood.
"So he relied on the Heavenly Tribulation; his tribulation is indeed frightening, but it merely escalated to that point sensing the Emperor’s Aura of the Alien Five Emperors, causing the collapse of the Alien Ancient Universe channel." Gong Xuan coldly snorted, unsatisfied.
Despite this, it had to be admitted that the Combat Saint King indeed had a great contribution, and recklessly attacking could attract backlash.
"Fine, we will listen to elder brother. Once the Trial World opens, it’s Ancient Road trial time, no one will dare speak even if we attack the Combat Saint King. Let’s see how he defends against our combined assault." Gong Xuan said.
As Gong Shenxue’s eyes flickered and closed, he fell silent, yet his gaze carried a different meaning.
Thus, the 39th Pass remained peaceful for three days.
Soon, after three days, the Guardian Great Power returned, learning about the Combat Saint King’s presence from the previous Guardian Great Power, immediately opening the Trial World.
The Trial World at the 39th Pass was located in space, a Cosmic Secret Realm full of various Shattered Star Belts, fragmented star continents, and a terrifying dead sea spreading across the starry sky, very vast and expansive, with many star remains floating within the dead sea.
Naturally, it was the main battlefield of the past Divine War, and the Trial Ancient Pass usually chose such places, offering trial nature to Ancient Road Heavenly talents.
Accompanied by the Guardian Great Power’s shout, numerous Ancient Road Heavenly talents soared into the heavens, scattered into the expansiveness of the trial realm.
Swish—
Ye Chen also descended among them, followed by Nine Snakes.
The Gong Family Three Venerables’ Ancient Road Dominators were not far off, although Gong Xuan and Gong Nanshan gazed at him with icy cold stares. Instead, Gong Shenxue nodded and smiled warmly at Ye Chen, shining brightly, attracting attention.
Even Ye Chen had to admit that this was indeed a figure, as such an approachable demeanor engendered good feelings. But what lay beneath remained unknown; he was indeed cautious of Gong Shenxue.
