Ye Qing had already attacked with all his might just now. He had pushed his Reverse Will to the limit, but he couldn't hurt Hua Xuandu at all.
Hua Xuandu was equally shocked. As a messenger of the Heaven Realm, an existence above the Sage Emperor, he couldn't kill an inferior monkey. It was simply outrageous.
At this moment, Hua Xuandu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He said in a deep voice, "Monkey, I have underestimated your strength. I didn't expect that you, a mere seventh-level Great Sage, could actually block my attack."
Hua Xuandu floated high in the sky like a god. His body emitted an incomparably noble and sacred aura, like the sun.
Hua Xuandu's cold eyes swept across the entire place and stared at Ye Qing. Suddenly, his killing intent gradually faded.
He grinned and said slowly, "Monkey, your strength is not bad. I won't bother with you for the time being. Anyway, you will inevitably die on the Path to Heaven. I will have plenty of opportunities to kill you."
Hua Xuandu stood motionless in the sky with his hands behind his back. For a moment, he didn't attack again.
Although Hua Xuandu appeared to be calm, in reality, a storm had set off in Hua Xuandu's heart.
Just now, his attack with Ye Qing had also caused a great shock in his heart. He knew that if he wanted to kill Ye Qing, even with his strength, it wouldn't be easy. He would have to put in a lot of effort.
Since that was the case, with the existence of the Path to Heaven, he might as well use it to eliminate Ye Qing.
What made Hua Xuandu puzzled was that in the small human world, a seventh-level Great Sage monkey could actually fight with him. Such heaven-defying strength was really unbelievable.
On the Path to Heaven, the Sage Emperors present were all secretly happy when they heard Hua Xuandu's words. In their opinion, Ye Qing was destined to die after offending the messenger of the Heaven Realm, Hua Xuandu. That was an inevitable outcome.
And now, Hua Xuandu didn't make a move. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to kill Ye Qing. After offending Hua Xuandu on the path to heaven, it would be difficult for him to escape death.
Shrouding Heaven, the Dragon Palace Lord, the Sun Temple Lord, and the Bai Clan Master were ecstatic. They could already see Ye Qing's death.
Hua Xuan Dou floated in the air and closed his eyes once again. Before he closed his eyes, he sent out a divine will that was incomparably vast, reverberating through the entire path.
Hua Xuandu said coldly, "Monkeys, the trial of the Path to Heaven has just begun. Bring out all your skills and remember not to destroy the formation on the Path to Heaven. Otherwise, I will settle the score with him after the trial is over."
Hua Xuandu's cold voice seemed to be able to make people fall into hell. When he spoke, his eyes were constantly staring at Ye Qing, giving Ye Qing a feeling of falling into an ice cave.
The brothers of the Army of Cheats beside Ye Qing were so scared that they shivered. Only Ye Qing's expression was normal, as if he didn't care about Hua Xuandu's threat at all.
After Hua Xuandu finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared. It seemed that he was no longer interested in the Path to Heaven. However, no one knew whether he would secretly monitor them or not.
Peace was restored on the Path to Heaven. Ye Qing had forcefully destroyed the formation of the Samsara of Three Lives. Other than a few Saint Kings and Saint Rulers who cursed Ye Qing, most of the Saint Rulers had benefited from Ye Qing's actions. They even felt grateful to Ye Qing.
The Samsara of Three Lives could easily obliterate the soul of a Saint King, let alone the weaker Saint Rulers. Many Saint Rulers would face the fate of having their souls destroyed after entering the formation. Even a few Saint Kings might not be able to escape unscathed.
Most of the Saint Rulers present felt grateful to Ye Qing. If it were not for the fact that Ye Qing had destroyed the three formations, it was very likely that they would not even be able to make it through the first trial. They would be dead by now, having their souls completely destroyed.
However, the Saint Rulers who were grateful to Ye Qing did not express it. Now that Ye Qing had become the target of everyone, it was obviously impossible for them to stand out and support Ye Qing.
The Saint Rulers stopped after the destruction of the three formations. They did not move for a moment.
They discovered that the Path to Heaven was just far too dangerous. If they moved alone, it was very likely that they would die at any time. A few of the Saint Rulers present began to discuss among themselves. They wanted to choose a leader from the several thousand Saint Rulers present.
Of course, it was impossible for a Saint Ruler to become the leader. It had to be a Saint King.
The number of Saint Kings in the five regions could be counted on one hand. There were less than a hundred of them, so the leader had to be the most powerful existence among them. Many Saint Kings and Saint Rulers remained where they were and began to discuss the matter of choosing a leader.
Other than the prodigies in the middle region, there were a few other heaven-defying Saint Kings in the other regions. They were living fossils that had not shown themselves for many years.
For example, in the Northern Wilderness Region, Saint Emperor Mu Qianxue of the Snow Clan, Saint Emperor Fire Feather Dark Wolf of the Dark Wolf Clan in the Western Wilderness Region, Saint Emperor Wuji Sword Master of the Western Wilderness Region, and Saint Emperor Golden Crow Demon Emperor were all incredible existences.
They usually kept a very low profile, but now that the Path to Heaven had opened and everyone was about to choose a leader, they all became very high-profile. They wanted to compete for the position of leader. Everyone knew that if they could become the leader chosen by the Saint Rulers and Saint Kings present, they would definitely receive unimaginable benefits.
The leader could command everyone. If they could become the leader of the Path to Heaven during the trial, they would obviously be the first to fight for the benefits and obtain the greatest benefits.
As a result, when a Saint Emperor suggested that the alliance head should be chosen, many of the Saint Emperors present agreed. They began to discuss and choose a suitable alliance head. Some of the Saint Emperors modestly declined and discussed for a long time without coming to a conclusion.
At this moment, an independent Saint Ruler who did not belong to any organization suddenly stepped forward. He slowly said, "Seniors, I think senior Ye Qing's performance was the most outstanding in the Triple Lifetime Reincarnation Formation. Not only did he pass through the illusory formation himself, he even helped us break through it. Although senior Ye Qing has criticized him, senior Hua Xuandu's actions have undoubtedly brought benefits to us. I believe that he is the most suitable leader."
Now that a Saint King had spoken, the other Saint Kings present all agreed, especially the Saint Kings from the Army of Cheats. The Grass Mud Horse and Oreo all agreed. They raised their hands and feet in agreement for Ye Qing to become the leader of the five regions.
At this moment, the majority of the people wanted Ye Qing to become the leader. There was a heated discussion. However, the Saint Kings who opposed Ye Qing did not like Ye Qing, and their eyes flashed with cold lightning.
The first Saint King to oppose was Saint King Shrouding Heaven. His enmity with Ye Qing was as deep as the ocean, so he could not allow Ye Qing to become the leader.
