After Long Chen said this, Tian Yi and Tushan glanced at each other and couldn't help but laugh. After losing, Tian Yi finally relaxed. He shook his head and said, "I know you will challenge the top three. But, do you know why the top three of the Divine King Ranking have never shown up?"
Long Chen, of course, didn't know.
Logically speaking, the third place on the God King List would appear today.
"That's because they aren't in the King Godfiend Battlefield. They are in the Emperor Godfiend Battlefield. While you are challenging the God Kings, they are already challenging the God Emperors. With my current strength, I'm not qualified to go to the Emperor Godfiend Battlefield. Do you think that you can defeat the three God Emperors who have been fighting in the Emperor Godfiend Battlefield for many years?"
Tian Yi's smile was mocking Long Chen's ignorance.
Long Chen didn't know that the top three were so fierce.
But it didn't matter. The fiercer, the better.
They were only Divine Kings after all. They couldn't be stronger than Li Xuanji's teacher, or Divine Emperor Jun. They were the stepping stones that Long Chen wanted to challenge, just like Tian Yi did today.
Faced with Tian Yi's mockery, Long Chen said, "That's very normal. Before we fought, you didn't think that I would defeat you either. It's exactly because of that that the word 'challenge' has meaning. To be honest, I can wait for you to challenge me, but I have no obligation to wait for you to challenge me. So, you better hurry up."
Tian Yi's face darkened.
He was still young and had a noble status. He had rarely suffered such humiliation. However, he had indeed been defeated. This was something that everyone had witnessed. He knew very well that the result was already clear. The more he spoke, the less it would benefit him. He should wait until he defeated Long Chen before saying anything else.
He sneered and took the Sunshot Divine Bow and the Sunset Divine Arrow into his hands. After studying them for a while, he threw them on the ground and said, "I will temporarily leave these two treasures with you. One day, I will take them back from you. Long Chen, the things that belong to me, Tian Yi, are not so easily taken. You will have to pay a heavy price."
Long Chen knew that Tian Yi wouldn't let it go so easily. He waved his hand and said, "I understand. I will keep them for you for now. But if you can't catch up to me, I will use them. If you have the guts, don't rely on the forces behind you to fight against me. Otherwise, you will be a coward in my eyes."
Being provoked by Long Chen, Tian Yi's heart was violently trampled again. Ever since he was young, he relied on himself. Today, he lost to Long Chen. To be honest, he really wanted Tushan Divine Emperor to kill Long Chen. But he wasn't willing to do that. The more Long Chen provoked him, the more he wanted to defeat Long Chen. Otherwise, this devil in his heart would haunt him forever.
"Let's go." Tushan Divine Emperor dragged him. He knew that Tian Yi shouldn't talk too much with Long Chen.
"Long Chen, I will tell your words to the top three of the Divine King List. You will never understand. In their eyes, you are just a joke."
Tian Yi threw down the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow, then left with Tushan and the others. In the end, they transformed into golden beams of light and disappeared from Long Chen's sight. They probably went to the battlefield of emperor-level gods.
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow were two Primordial level creation divine weapons. Their heroic spirits witnessed Long Chen's power and knew that Tian Yi lost to Long Chen.
"You two, I will keep them for now. What do you think?"
The two heroic spirits didn't make things difficult for Long Chen. To be honest, after witnessing Long Chen's performance, they were filled with deep respect for Long Chen.
Long Chen isolated them and placed them somewhere in his divine kingdom.
He already had the Divine Sword Devil Pagoda, so the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow were not of much use to him.
"Xiao Lang is of the fire attribute, which is a good match for the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow. He is cultivating to the Primordial level. If he succeeds, he will cultivate the devouring and fire attribute Primordial Divine Force. With two ancestral fires, he should be able to control the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow. Of course, he will need to reach the ultimate Godly King level. These two treasures will be kept for Xiao Lang."
The most suitable candidate was the wolf cub.
The others were still far from being able to control them.
As for Tian Yi, Long Chen never believed that a loser could win him back. Even the son of a Hierarch couldn't keep up with Long Chen's speed. Therefore, he wasn't worried that Tian Yi would win back the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and Sun-Setting Divine Arrow.
After Tian Yi and the others left, the tens of thousands of Godly Kings were stunned. Then came the earth-shattering cheers.
"Long Chen, Long Chen."
At this moment, Long Chen was the hero in their hearts. He was their faith.
They worshiped Long Chen, worshiped this challenger. They had come here to surpass their limits and become a challenger.
"Victory!"
The cheers lasted for a long time.
The enthusiasm and smiles on their faces made Long Chen feel that this battle was worth it. But he wasn't arrogant, because he knew that more difficult battles were yet to come. From the first level of the Godfiend Battlefield until now, Long Chen had already fallen in love with the feeling of battle.
Today, he had narrowly escaped death, but he had obtained the Extermination Dragon Seal.
In the future, he still had a lot of room for improvement.
"Everyone, I should go back and prepare to challenge the third on the Godly King List, or even the second. In the future, I will communicate with my brothers and sisters."
Long Chen calmed his heart. He still had a long way to go.
… …
The mountain road was rugged and uneven.
A group of Godly Emperors and Godly Kings flew over thousands of mountains and rivers.
The atmosphere was gloomy.
Tushan Deity Emperor said, "This Long Chen doesn't have a strong background, but he is indeed a genius in the study of natural law. At the last moment, he made a breakthrough and comprehended a new natural law. Such a genius, if he joins our Burning Sun Divine Realm and becomes your right-hand man, he will definitely be of great help to you in the future. Years later, he might even become a supreme God. Then, our Sacrificial Heaven Region will only become stronger."
Tianyi shook his head and said, "I understand this, but it's impossible. If I had defeated him today, it would be possible. But not only did I lose, I still see him as my mortal enemy. I can't have a heart-to-heart talk with him anymore. It's a missed opportunity. But I know that a genius of laws like this, with no background, can't be taken advantage of by others."
Tushan Deity Emperor nodded and said, "If those three from Tianyu Region, Tianchong Region, and Heavenly God Region challenge him and admire him, they would probably take him in. If that's the case, we would suffer a great loss."
Tianyi sneered, "Impossible. You don't understand Long Chen's personality. He would definitely offend everyone, just for his growth. He won't be willing to be controlled. Even if we take him in, he would betray us sooner or later. That wouldn't be a good thing. I couldn't kill him. Any one of the previous three would be enough."
Tushan Deity Emperor thought for a while and said, "The next one should be Tianyu Region's Ji Taixu, the son of Shen Jun. It seems that you have never won against him."
Tianyi nodded. "That's true. Ji Taixu's personality is vicious, bloodthirsty, and merciless. His killing intent is ten times greater than mine. If Long Chen challenges him, even with the new rules, he'll most likely die."
Tushan Deity Emperor nodded. "Though, I've heard that Ji Taixu has recently challenged the person who ranks second on the Godking Ranking. The date seems to be within this month. It should be in half a month's time. According to the rules, will Long Chen challenge Ji Taixu first, or will Ji Taixu challenge him first?"
Tianyi thought about it and said, "The two of them obviously don't take Long Chen seriously. They'll definitely challenge him first. Let's just leave Long Chen hanging."
"The Sunslaying Bow and the Sunsetting Arrow. What do you plan on doing?"
"Those are mine. No one can possess them. I will take them back, uncle."
… …
On the battlefield of the King level Fiendgod.
The Darkstar Deity Emperor walked in front of Long Chen. Suddenly, he looked back and asked, "Are you sure you want to continue challenging him? I can tell that you've already reached your limit today. You almost died in battle. If you go any further, you'll probably lose your life."
Long Chen nodded and said straightforwardly, "I've come here for challenges. Challenges that cost my life. Only then will I have the opportunity to grow."
The Darkstar Deity Emperor said helplessly, "But I won't be as lucky as today every time."
Long Chen smiled gently. "Senior, this isn't luck. This is my will. If it were purely luck, I would have died a long time ago."
"Alright. You have the will to fight, and you even want to bring glory to Dong Hua. I shouldn't stop you, but you have to consolidate your strength and understand more about the person who ranks third on the Godking Ranking over the next few days. You have to wholeheartedly prepare for this battle."
"No problem."
Slaughter, challenge, advance, and never stop.
"I'll ask the person who ranks third on the Godking Ranking first. He applied to challenge the person who ranks second earlier, which happens to be around the same time as you. Let me see what the arrangements are."
As the Darkstar Deity Emperor contacted the battlefield of the King level Fiendgod, Long Chen waited patiently.
A while later, the Darkstar Deity Emperor furrowed his brows. He had already gotten to the bottom of it.
"Senior, what's going on?" Long Chen was rather gloomy inside. Was the person who ranked third on the Godking Ranking unwilling to accept his challenge?
The Darkstar Deity Emperor sighed. "The three of them already know about you defeating Tian Yi, especially the second and third on the Godking Ranking. They were originally preparing to fight, but now you've joined the fray."
"As a result, they've decided to fight right now. The loser will fight me."
Long Chen was still rather pressed for time. After all, the divine king of the eternal God race was still applying for the Execution Order of the Heaven Region. If the Darkstar Deity Emperor did not assist him, eight divine kings would be far too terrifying.
