Sacred Body of the Immortals

A terrifying aura erupted like a volcano.

Xiao Chen stood up, removed his hood, revealing a face filled with resolute determination.

Hadn't he been training all this time precisely for this day?

To deal with Jun Xiaoyao, he must become the prince consort of the Panwu Divine Dynasty.

"Who is that person? I don't seem to recognize him. He probably isn't a prodigy from any major power?"

"Wait, that looks like Prince Xiao Chen from the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom!"

"The Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's Crown Prince? Wasn't that kingdom already destroyed?"

"Yeah, and this Xiao Chen's strength doesn't seem particularly outstanding either?"

Questioning gazes came from all directions.

Jun Xiaoyao gazed over calmly.

He wasn't surprised at all.

It would have been more surprising if Xiao Chen hadn't shown up.

As Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell upon him, Xiao Chen also glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.

The deep hatred in that look couldn't be washed away by all the waters of the four seas.

However, Xiao Chen hadn't lost his rationality. His current target wasn't Jun Xiaoyao, but Yang Pan.

"Where did this nobody come from, daring to challenge this marquis?" Yang Pan raised his brows.

As the Divine Dynasty's Champion Marquis, when had he ever been provoked by such nobodies?

"Xiao Chen!?"

Wu Mingyue's delicate body trembled slightly when she saw Xiao Chen.

Although she had hoped he wouldn't come, seeing him appear still moved her heart somewhat.

"Mingyue, you know him?" the Panwu Divine Lord asked, noticing her unusual reaction.

"Yes, a friend," Wu Mingyue hesitated.

She knew the Panwu Divine Lord definitely wouldn't want Xiao Chen to become the prince consort.

In the arena, Xiao Chen leapt into the air, landing directly on the high platform, standing opposite Yang Pan.

"Yang Pan, you depraved and conscienceless scum, what right do you have to be Mingyue's prince consort?" Xiao Chen's tone was cold as frost.

"Hmph, if this marquis isn't worthy, are you?" Yang Pan sneered.

"Today, I, Xiao Chen, shall defeat you in front of countless powers!"

As Xiao Chen's words fell, he let out a clear cry to the heavens, unleashing his power at the peak of the Unity Realm.

Countless Azure Dragon light patterns, numbering in the thousands, swirled around him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was like an Azure Dragon War God.

"Oh? The techniques of the Ancestral Dragon's Nest?" Yang Pan's expression slightly tightened.

Xiao Chen's current realm was no weaker than his own.

Jun Xiaoyao watched with deep eyes: "As expected, Xiao Chen has secrets behind him. It seems I'll need to investigate later."

"Even if you're a dragon, today this marquis will slay you!"

Yang Pan attacked, his Tragic Radiance Divine Spear shaking the void, erupting with mighty power like a corner of the heavens tilting down.

"Azure Dragon Claw!"

Xiao Chen reached out with one hand, azure light gathering to form a dragon claw several hundred feet long, grabbing toward the Champion Marquis.

Their techniques clashed, creating massive waves!

Seeing this, the Panwu Divine Lord waved his hand, turning the void into a cage to contain their battle's ripples.

"How did this Xiao Chen become so strong, actually able to contend with the Champion Marquis?"

"Yeah, I thought he'd be defeated in just a few moves." Many surprised voices rang out.

Jun Xiaoyao remained very calm, watching the battle between Xiao Chen and Yang Pan like a bystander observing fighting tigers.

He seemed to see two leeks fighting each other.

"Damn this brat!" Anger surged in Yang Pan's eyes.

Being slapped into the ground by Jun Xiaoyao earlier had already made him lose face.

And now, some random small fry that appeared was giving him such trouble.

"Annihilation Spear Art!"

Yang Pan used his ultimate move, channeling power into the Tragic Radiance Divine Spear.

Streaks of black spear light carrying annihilation energy burst forth, seeming to extinguish even the void where they passed.

"Immovable Azure Dragon Bell!"

Xiao Chen deployed his ultimate defense, a giant bell entwined with an azure dragon protecting his form.

Then he struck out with another punch, over a thousand azure dragon light patterns bursting forth simultaneously, showing vast might.

Watching the battle between these two, many cultivators were shocked.

The Champion Marquis's strength wasn't surprising.

But Xiao Chen seemed unreasonably strong.

"Xiao Chen..." emotion showed in Wu Mingyue's eyes.

She knew Xiao Chen had come this far all for her sake.

The ripples in the arena were tremendous as the two fought to white-hot intensity.

By the end, spots of blood appeared on Xiao Chen's body.

While Yang Pan's mouth also showed traces of blood.

"This brat..." Yang Pan grew impatient and directly activated the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword within his body.

An amazing sword intent shot to the heavens.

An ancient and profound sword shadow flickered behind Yang Pan.

He hadn't fully unleashed the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword, but just this sword shadow was enough to shock all directions.

"The Sovereign's Sword..." Light flashed in the Panwu Divine Lord's eyes.

His support of Yang Pan was precisely to have him seek the other two swords in the future.

Simply put, it was a form of exploitation.

And to make Yang Pan willingly be exploited, the Panwu Divine Lord had no choice but to marry Wu Mingyue to him.

This was basically already decided internally.

Because the Panwu Divine Lord knew that Yang Pan, possessing the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword, naturally stood undefeated.

No one could defeat Yang Pan with the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword, not even top prodigies from Immortal Dao lineages.

Though Xiao Chen's performance exceeded the Panwu Divine Lord's expectations.

The result wouldn't change.

Sure enough, when Yang Pan unleashed the power of the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword.

The Azure Dragon Elder's voice sounded in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Xiao Chen, this is bad. Your current strength cannot block the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword. Retreat for now."

The Azure Dragon Elder was helpless and unable to assist Xiao Chen.

If he intervened, it would mean interfering in the battle, and the Panwu Divine Lord certainly wouldn't stand by.

As far as external aids went, the Azure Dragon Elder was clearly not as convenient as the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword.

Any appearance would be noticed by the powerful.

"How can I retreat? If I retreat, Mingyue will be taken by him!" Xiao Chen's eyes bulged as he unleashed his final will.

"Azure Dragon in Heaven!"

Ten thousand azure dragon light patterns rose from Xiao Chen's body, condensing into a massive light dragon charging toward Yang Pan.

Yang Pan also channeled the power of the Panwu Sovereign's Life Sword.

Its sword light gathered at the sword tip, then slashed down.

A point of sword light that seemed able to destroy all things in the world!

Boom!

The light dragon was directly split in two by the sword light, and Xiao Chen coughed up a large mouthful of blood as he flew backward.

"Xiao Chen!" Wu Mingyue's beautiful face lost color.

"Haha, mere ant daring to overturn heaven. Mingyue, you belong to this marquis, no one can take you away!" Yang Pan laughed arrogantly.

"You..." Wu Mingyue's face turned iron-gray.

Looking at Yang Pan, she suddenly felt that even Jun Xiaoyao would be better as prince consort than Yang Pan.

"What am I thinking? That Jun Xiaoyao is also a hateful person." Wu Mingyue came to her senses, feeling this thought was absurd.

She could never like Jun Xiaoyao.

Absolutely not!
