Smoke was billowing, and dust was flying everywhere.
The Heavenly Dao Arena, which had existed since ancient times, was now shattered, as if a continent was about to sink.
"That's terrifying, even the arena was destroyed," some Prodigies said with lingering fear.
The Heavenly Dao Arena had sealing runes, so even the strongest battles could hardly damage it.
But now, the entire arena was almost shattered, showing how fierce the battle between Ye Guchen and Jun Xiaoyao was, capable of destroying heaven and earth at any moment.
This was less like two Saints fighting, and more like two Supremes.
Everyone's gaze turned towards them.
The dust dispersed.
Jun Xiaoyao's figure was revealed, his white clothes like snow, pure and unblemished.
His hands were clasped behind his back, his expression calm, like a tranquil lake without ripples.
On the other side, Ye Guchen's figure also appeared.
He was kneeling on one knee, his Emperor Slaying Sword propped diagonally on the ground, blood continuously trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Who won and who lost was clear at a glance!
After a breath of deathly silence, a thunderous uproar erupted.
"He won, the Jun Family Divine Child won!"
"Indeed, the Jun Family Divine Child is the invincible legend of the younger generation!"
"The undefeated myth will continue, Jun Xiaoyao is the strongest Emperor Road King of my Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain!"
Exclamations came from all directions!
Awe!
Adoration!
Fanaticism!
Jun Xiaoyao, forever God!
Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, Jun Moxiao, Jun Lingcang, and others all showed genuine joy on their faces.
Jun Xiaoyao winning the Emperor Road King made them even happier than if they had won it themselves.
"Did he still lose?"
Ye Nantian, the Ancient Freak of the Ye family, sighed deeply.
Although he had a vague premonition of this before.
But Ye Guchen still gave people the illusion that he might be able to end Jun Xiaoyao's undefeated legend.
Now it seemed that the illusion was just an illusion.
"It seems that apart from those Forbidden Talents on the Ultimate Ancient Road, no one else can threaten the Jun Family Divine Child," Ye Nantian lamented.
At least among the younger generation in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Jun Xiaoyao was already the undisputed number one.
"I lost."
On the shattered arena, Ye Guchen slowly stood up, coughing up another mouthful of blood.
However, his expression showed no dejection.
He simply admitted his defeat in a calm tone.
"To be able to last this long in my hands, you can be proud," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Ye Guchen, however, shook his head slightly and said, "I can feel that you didn't use your full strength. If you had gone all out, I might not have been able to last this long."
Hearing Ye Guchen's words, the Prodigies present also nodded slightly.
Indeed.
What shocked people most about Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the terrifying ultimate move of the two Fusions that annihilated thousands of people.
But in this battle, Jun Xiaoyao did not use that move.
It was clear that Jun Xiaoyao still held back.
But... was it just holding back one move?
Some Prodigies suddenly thought that many of Jun Xiaoyao's trump cards, such as his Holy Body Phenomenon, Supreme Bone, and so on, had not been used.
Strictly speaking, Jun Xiaoyao did indeed hold back a billion moves.
Regarding this, Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly, noncommittally.
If he could defeat his opponent with one-tenth of his strength, why would he use all of it?
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's attitude, Ye Guchen also sighed inwardly.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
First a light chuckle, then a hearty laugh, and finally, he laughed up to the sky.
"What's wrong? Is Ye Guchen unable to handle the blow?"
Seeing Ye Guchen like this, many suspected that he was emotionally unstable and his Dao Heart was about to collapse.
After all, anyone who faced a Prodigy like Jun Xiaoyao would have their Dao Heart crumble.
Ji Xuan, the former Little Sage of the Ji Family, was a living example.
But to everyone's surprise, after Ye Guchen laughed, his eyes showed no despondency; instead, they were filled with excitement.
"How long has it been? I've finally tasted defeat. Standing at the top, how lonely it is."
"Next, I have a new goal, and that is to surpass you, Jun Xiaoyao!"
In Ye Guchen's eyes, his fighting spirit burned like fire.
Admitting defeat was nothing; what mattered was whether one could get back up after falling.
"Good, I'll be waiting," Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
Ye Guchen was a rare opponent for whom he held some respect.
And in the sky, Supreme Du Tuo, seeing this scene, murmured thoughtfully, "This defeat, for Ye Guchen, may not be a bad thing, but rather a Nirvana and a new beginning."
With that, the Emperor Road King's decisive battle concluded.
Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the strongest King.
But Ye Guchen, with just his self-created Myriad Gods Tribulation move, was truly worthy of being the number one on the desolate heaven saint ranking.
No one would mock or ridicule Ye Guchen.
Because the Myriad Gods Tribulation sword, except for Jun Xiaoyao, was almost impossible for other Prodigies to withstand.
And just as the outcome of the battle was decided.
The entire Heavenly Dao Arena suddenly had Dao patterns spreading across it.
In the Void Realm, heavenly flowers fell, golden lotuses gushed from the ground, True Dragons soared, Qilins stepped on the sea, and various auspicious omens manifested.
"This is..." Some Prodigies' eyes showed surprise and doubt.
"It seems the Heavenly Dao reward is coming," Supreme Du Tuo said, accustomed to such sights.
There were nine Emperor Roads, and thus nine Emperor Road Kings.
They would receive Heavenly Dao rewards from their respective Immortal Domains and gain a mysterious Luck boost.
"I wonder what the Jun Family Divine Child's Heavenly Dao reward will be?"
Many people were looking forward to it.
Jun Xiaoyao's performance was absolutely astonishing, unprecedented.
Logically speaking, his Heavenly Dao reward should also be the most bountiful in history.
As expected.
On the Heavenly Dao Arena, the five Dao Certification Marks soared into the sky, emitting boundless light.
Then, a shocking scene appeared.
All the Dao Certification Marks in the entire Desolate Heaven Battlefield converged towards those five Dao Certification Marks.
"Oh no, my Dao Certification Mark!"
"My Dao Certification Mark is gone too!"
The expressions of some minor Giants changed.
They found that the Dao Certification Marks they had painstakingly acquired had spontaneously broken through the Void Realm and left.
All the Prodigies, including those from the Jiang Family and Jun family, had their Dao Certification Marks converge as well.
In the end, hundreds of Dao Certification Marks gathered together.
"This..."
Even Supreme Du Tuo was dumbfounded.
All the Dao Certification Marks in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain had actually gathered together.
Was this to concentrate all hope on Jun Xiaoyao alone?
An ordinary Prodigy obtaining one Dao Certification Mark was already extremely powerful.
Now, with hundreds of Dao Certification Marks gathered together, if they were all bestowed upon Jun Xiaoyao.
What kind of scene would that be?
Jun Xiaoyao would probably ascend on the spot!
Under everyone's stunned gaze.
Hundreds of Dao Certification Marks emitted boundless light.
In the end, they actually Fused into a crown!
That crown was dazzling and radiant, carrying a profound Heavenly Dao aura, as if it was the strongest blessing in the world!
"That is... the heavenly dao crown! Whoever wears this crown is destined to become a Great Emperor!" Supreme Du Tuo's eyes bulged, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"What?!"
Hearing Supreme Du Tuo's words, all the Prodigies present were dumbfounded, their scalps tingling.
The heavenly dao crown, wear it and you're guaranteed to become a Great Emperor!
This was practically cheating!
However, thinking of Jun Xiaoyao's Prodigy nature, everyone suddenly felt that the heavenly dao crown reward was reasonable.
Under everyone's gaze.
The heavenly dao crown slowly descended, about to be placed on Jun Xiaoyao's head.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, showing no joy at the appearance of the heavenly dao crown.
For him, becoming an Emperor was almost a foregone conclusion.
The heavenly dao crown was like drawing a snake and adding feet, an unnecessary act.
However, just as the heavenly dao crown was about to land on Jun Xiaoyao's head.
Within Jun Xiaoyao's body, the Divine Origin Point suddenly trembled slightly; that was Jun Xiaoyao's own Dao.
Then, the heavenly dao crown suddenly stopped.
Faintly, the sound of the Great Dao emanated, and a vague Heavenly Dao will manifested.
"Self-created Dao, Heaven-Defying to the world, a Heaven-Defying anomaly through the ages, forever forbidden from Dao Certification!"
This majestic Heavenly Dao sound spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Battlefield, throughout the entire Emperor Road.
It spread throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
In the end, the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, all Cultivators, heard this sentence in an instant!
The entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain was shocked and boiling at this moment!
