Many Prodigies looked over.
Beyond the stone gate was a vast and boundless ocean.
It wasn't the Star Ocean outside the Kun Peng Nest, but a true ocean!
"Is this a Small World?"
"Indeed, only the Archaic Kunpeng could possess such skill!"
Creating a Small World and shaping a Grotto-Heaven.
This was a method only top-tier experts could possess.
In the eyes of these Emperor Road Prodigies, it was an unimaginable feat.
"Charge!"
Not a single Prodigy hesitated. Compared to the Opportunities before them, the true Kunpeng Opportunity was clearly hidden within that Small World.
All the Prodigies entered it.
Before long, these Prodigies saw a black island in the depths of this Small World's vast ocean.
Upon the island was a golden nest, radiating brilliant light.
"That must be the true Kun Peng Nest, likely containing Kun Peng True Blood and the supreme Kun Peng Great Divine Power!"
Seeing the golden nest, all the Prodigies lost their composure and swarmed towards it.
However, Void Sword Child, Kong Xuan, Golden Winged Little Peng King, Gengjin Stone Spirit, and others, had a hint of doubt in their eyes.
At this point, some Prodigies had already ascended the black island.
Yet, not long after, strange things began to happen.
Some Prodigies inexplicably disappeared.
"What's going on?"
"This island is strange!"
These Prodigies had not even approached the golden nest when they sensed something was amiss.
In the distance, Void Sword Child, seeing this, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Playing tricks!"
Void Sword Child raised his hand, and the longsword on his back flew out, unleashing a powerful spatial Sword Qi that struck the black island!
Boom!
Accompanied by a violent tremor, the island began to shake.
At the same time, muffled roars emanated from it.
"What's happening? Did this island gain sentience?"
"No, this isn't an island, but..."
Some Prodigies also reacted.
Around the black island, space twisted and rippled.
Finally, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a clam Yao Beast the size of a small island.
"That is... an Archaic Vicious Beast, the Shen!" Marquis Fajiang and Marquis Naohai both showed a hint of shock in their eyes.
They came from the Sea King Ancient Star Territory, where that Star Domain was almost entirely ocean.
Therefore, they had a deep understanding of various marine Vicious Beasts and could recognize it at a glance.
And the clam Vicious Beast before them was, without a doubt, the legendary Vicious Beast, the Shen.
There is an idiom, 'mirage,' which describes this kind of Yao Beast.
The Shen would spew clouds and mist, creating illusions to confuse Cultivators.
Although this Shen was not a pure-blooded Archaic Shen, it possessed a portion of the Shen's Bloodline.
More importantly, the Prodigies present felt the aura of this Shen, which had reached Saint Realm Great Perfection!
This was no longer something a single Prodigy could handle.
The Shen suddenly opened its closed shell.
Immediately, it was as if vortices appeared, and a terrifying suction force erupted, dragging some Prodigies into them.
The few Prodigies who had disappeared earlier had secretly been drawn into the vortices.
"Ah, run!"
"This Shen is invincible!"
Most of the Prodigies present were in the Dao God Realm, with only a few being Quasi-Saints.
There wasn't even a true Saint among them, so how could they contend with this Supreme Saint Grand Perfection Shen?
In the sky, Void Sword Child once again drew his sword, and the powerful fluctuations drew attention.
"Suspended Sword Art!"
Void Sword Child slashed down with his sword, and the space in front was split in half.
However, the Sword Qi only created a few sparks when it struck the Shen's shell.
"Damn it!" Void Sword Child's eyes darkened.
"If my true body were here, why would I fear this beast?" Void Sword Child felt unwilling in his heart.
He had only brought a spiritual body, which possessed some combat power, but it was clearly incomparable to his true body.
Kong Xuan also made her Move, and nine-colored divine light burst from her jade hands, transforming into nine pillars of light that shot out.
Golden Winged Little Peng King also spread his Peng wings, and Peng feathers fell off, like golden Flying Swords, clanging.
His hundred and eight thousand sword feathers all slashed down, colliding with intense sparks.
Marquis Fajiang, Marquis Naohai, Gengjin Stone Spirit, Su Biyu, and others also made their Moves one after another.
But they couldn't even harm this Shen.
Instead, the casualties among these Emperor Road Prodigies began to expand.
Two to three hundred Prodigies had already been swallowed by the Shen.
"If this continues, we'll all die before we find the true Kun Peng Nest," Su Biyu said unwillingly.
She had finally managed to win over Gengjin Stone Spirit to explore the Kun Peng Nest together.
If they were to fail and retreat like this, she would be unwilling.
"At this point, we can only act together. Let's destroy this Shen first, and then compete for it based on our own abilities!" Kong Xuan shouted.
"That's right, let's work together to kill this beast first!"
"With so many of us, why should we be afraid of it!"
The other Emperor Road Prodigies shouted.
Immediately, all the Prodigies present joined forces, and various Moves combined into a surging torrent, striking the Shen.
The Shen's shell was colorful and radiated divine light, and its Supreme Saint Grand Perfection aura made many Prodigies tremble.
Boom!
This Small World stirred up monstrous waves, a thousand feet high.
After a round of attacks, the Shen was completely unharmed, with not even a single mark on its shell.
"This..." Everyone was stunned.
Golden Winged Little Peng King, Kong Xuan, Void Sword Child, Gengjin Stone Spirit, and others, had even uglier expressions.
Each of them was a famous Prodigy on the Emperor Road, yet even by joining forces, they couldn't deal with a single Shen.
If this were to spread, they would lose all face.
Just as everyone felt powerless in their hearts.
"How dare this beast block the Divine Child's path?"
As this indifferent voice fell.
From afar, a vast, ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi swept across the sky.
Along the way, it revealed the terrifying sight of fallen immortals, making one's hair stand on end!
"This Sword Qi, could it be Ye Guchen has arrived!"
Feeling this peerless sharp Sword Qi, Void Sword Child's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but shout.
In his opinion, on the Emperor Road, the only person capable of performing such a sword Move, besides himself, was Ye Guchen, the Reincarnation of the Sword Demon.
"What, Ye Guchen has arrived?"
"That's right, only Ye Guchen can unleash such a sword Move!"
Just as everyone was in awe, this Sword Qi finally descended completely.
Pfft!
In the eyes of everyone, filled with shock and despair, the Shen, which they had been unable to defeat even by joining forces.
Its shell shattered under this single sword, directly splitting into two!
One must know that this was a Shen in the Saint Realm Great Perfection, and even a Prodigy of the same Saint Realm could not instantly kill it with one Move.
"How is this possible? Ye Guchen has actually become this strong?"
Seeing the Shen instantly killed by a single sword, Void Sword Child couldn't help but feel shocked.
He had fought with Ye Guchen before; Ye Guchen was very strong, but he couldn't have been strong enough to instantly kill a Supreme Saint Grand Perfection with one sword.
Just as everyone's hearts were filled with shock.
In the distance, a leisurely figure, like one strolling in a garden, finally arrived through the air.
When they saw this peerless figure in white, all the Prodigies' expressions froze, filled with astonishment...
