"Here?"
"Wait, we'll start once everyone is here."
Xuan Sa nodded at Xu Chuan and said.
Around the arena, powerful beings stood in the void, awaiting the start of this great battle.
They were all powerhouses from various factions in the Eastern Domain.
Only the strong could approach the arena and watch the competition up close.
If their strength was insufficient, the terrifying aura emanating from the arena would instantly tear apart anyone who approached!
After all, this arena was an Emperor Weapon, and it was in an activated state!
No one was willing to risk their lives to test the might of an Emperor Weapon!
The powerhouses of the Taiyi Holy Land, apart from Xuan Sa, were not present today.
One reason was that the Taiyi Holy Land was currently filled with personnel from various factions in the Eastern Domain, and they needed to maintain order.
The second reason was that they needed to avoid suspicion in the battle for the Holy Son position!
After all, these quasi-Holy Sons had some relationship with the various powerhouses of the Taiyi Holy Land, more or less!
Their presence could potentially interfere with the performance of the quasi-Holy Sons.
Therefore, they were not present.
Even so, they constantly cast their gazes upon the arena, quietly observing this battle!
Below the arena, there was a giant light screen.
Within the light screen, everything happening on the arena was being broadcast in real-time.
This light screen was prepared for those with lower cultivation levels.
It allowed them to witness the entire process of the battle firsthand.
The moment Xu Chuan appeared on the arena.
The atmosphere of the crowd watching the battle erupted once more!
Xu Chuan's popularity was no less than that of the Taiyi Holy Master!
"Look quickly, that's Xu Chuan!"
"My heavens, so handsome! So strong!"
"Is it him who destroyed the Beast God Clan and foiled the Shadow Clan's scheme?"
"Xu Chuan will win!"
"I think the possibility of Xu Chuan emerging victorious in this battle is very high!"
Discussions and cheers erupted one after another.
Filled with anticipation and excitement.
At this moment, who knew how many people were infatuated with Xu Chuan, and who knew how many wanted to follow him.
However, Xu Chuan, standing on the arena, paid no heed to the external discussions and simply waited.
Before long, the remaining five quasi-Holy Sons also arrived on the arena one after another.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the battle for the Holy Son position reached its peak.
"They're here, everyone is here!"
"Start quickly, I can't wait to see the battle between them!"
"It's rumored that three quasi-Holy Sons have abstained? I wonder if it's true."
"Ah? How is that possible?!"
"Stop guessing, just wait and see!"
The nine quasi-Holy Sons gathered together.
This scene was something that disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, martial artists from other Eastern Domain factions, and ordinary rogue cultivators had never seen before!
Looking at the nine individuals standing proudly on the arena, they were all extremely excited.
Their anticipation for this battle grew even higher!
Xu Chuan was also observing the other eight people at this time.
The system scanned them one by one.
All their information was displayed before Xu Chuan.
There was not much difference from what he had anticipated.
However, there was one person whose information made Xu Chuan's eyes widen slightly.
This person was Du Hengyu, the first to relinquish his claim to the Holy Son position!
[Name: Du Hengyu]
[Race: Xuantian Human Race]
[Realm: Heavenly King Realm Ninth Layer]
[Talent: Unparalleled in the World]
[Destiny: Devoted to the Dao (Gold), Astonishing Comprehension (Gold), Profound Fortune (Purple)]
[Divine Abilities: Unity of Man and Martial Arts, Heaven-reaching Creation]
[Life Script: None]
[Life Trajectory: Disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land, devoted to the Dao, astonishing talent, terrifying destiny, a born Dao Child, breaks through to the Emperor Venerable Realm during the Human- Demon War.]
[Affection Level: 50]
[Destiny]
[Devoted to the Dao: Only the Martial Dao in his heart, unmoved by worldly power; gains Martial Dao augmentation during battle.]
[Astonishing Comprehension: His comprehension is terrifyingly immense, even Heaven is shocked. He understands anything at a glance, and doubles his comprehension in the Martial Dao.]
[Profound Fortune: A blessed person, he successfully overcomes calamities every time.]
Upon first seeing this script information, even Xu Chuan couldn't help but gasp.
It took a while for him to recover.
He hadn't expected the first quasi-Holy Son, Du Hengyu, to possess such astonishing strength, talent, and destiny!
He had underestimated him earlier.
With such strength, Xu Chuan no longer had the same confidence that he could easily defeat him.
If a real fight were to break out, Xu Chuan estimated he would have to use all his might to possibly win against him.
Fortunately, Du Hengyu had given up on the competition for the Holy Son position, focusing only on the Martial Dao.
This made Xu Chuan incredibly relieved!
As for the other quasi-Holy Sons, excluding Shi Longxiang and Li Hongxi who abstained.
The highest cultivation was the second quasi-Holy Son, Zhang Tong, at the Heavenly King Realm sixth layer.
The others, Xu Jia, Tian Jun, and Liu Zhenliang, were at the Heavenly King Realm fifth layer.
And the lowest in cultivation was Jiang Chengyun, at the Heavenly King Realm fourth layer.
It had to be said that no quasi-Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land was simple.
With such talent and strength, any one of them could sweep across the Eastern Domain.
But Xu Chuan had absolute confidence and certainty that he could defeat them all!
He would surely win this battle!
Just as Xu Chuan made up his mind, Xuan Sa spoke.
"Since everyone is here, the battle for the Holy Son position will officially begin!"
"However, only six people are participating this time, while the other three have voluntarily withdrawn."
"You six, each choose an opponent. The one who emerges victorious will be the true Holy Son of our Taiyi Holy Land!"
"Alternatively, anyone who believes their strength is sufficient can directly challenge five people. If they win, they will be the Holy Son!"
Xuan Sa's voice boomed into the ears of the six individuals.
Instantly, the expressions of the six became serious.
This battle was about to commence!
"Are you ready?"
Xuan Sa asked again.
The six nodded in unison.
"Good, then let's begin!"
Xuan Sa also nodded.
He then took a step forward, bringing the three who had abstained outside the arena.
Following that, he waved his hand, and the formation on the arena was activated.
Terrifying power enveloped the arena.
No one dared to interrupt their battle.
The atmosphere on the arena began to turn somber and tense.
The six men sized each other up, choosing suitable opponents.
The onlookers watching this battle also had their hearts tensed to the extreme.
They whispered among themselves about who would initiate the first fight.
However, at this moment.
Xu Chuan suddenly stepped forward.
Looking at the five people before him, he smiled faintly.
"Esteemed Senior Brothers, this junior became a quasi-Holy Son not long ago, but today I shall boldly request all Senior Brothers to attack together!"
Silence!
Extreme silence!
Whether it was on the stage, below the stage, in the sky, or on the ground, Xu Chuan's words were transmitted without loss to everyone's ears.
Instantly, the entire venue fell into a deathly hush.
A cold wind howled, and no one dared to speak.
The five people standing opposite Xu Chuan were momentarily unable to react, even doubting their own ears.
Helplessly, Xu Chuan shook his head and spoke again, "I said, esteemed Senior Brothers, you, all of you, come at me!"
"Today, I want to fight five!"
