Eternal Reverence Chapter 979: Challenge at the Feast

Chapter 979: Challenge at the Feast

The Myriad Flower Lady might not be a star domain-level heaven lordess, but she wasn’t far. Over a million years ago, the Myriad Flower Lady actually fought against a star domain-level heaven lord. She might have been defeated, but she didn’t receive any severe injuries and could be said to be unscathed.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be exaggerating to treat her as a rather weak star domain-level heaven lord.

There wasn’t a need to talk about the Crosswise River Primogenitor. As an ancient star domain-level heaven lord, the Crosswise River Primogenitor was already standing at the pinnacle for countless years. Apart from half-G.o.ds, there were only a few individuals in the universe that could deal with him.

As for the Blood Ax Lord, he was a battalion commander of the Undying Legion. His strength might be inferior to the Crosswise River Primogenitor, but he was definitely superior to regular star domain-level heaven lord. (TL note: I made a mistake with the name of Blood Ax Imperial Lord, it should just be Blood Ax Lord)

The trio’s arrival caused the Thousands Spirit Feast to fall silent.

“Primary Extreme Lord, this is a long awaited meeting.” The Myriad Flower Lady nodded towards Li Fuchen.

She had already found out about Li Fuchen’s history. It turned out that Li Fuchen was from the same plane as one of her Hundred Flower Guardians, the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess. She found out from the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess that Li Fuchen was rather young and was a true generational prodigy. Not even the G.o.d race’s prodigies were comparable to Li Fuchen.

“He isn’t just a generational prodigy!” The Myriad Flower Lady was silently amazed. Prodigy wasn’t enough to describe someone who became a star domain-level heaven lord within such a short period of time. The Myriad Flower Lady was suspecting if Li Fuchen was a Child of the Star Domain or a Child of the Universe to receive such favoritism from the universe.

“Greetings to the Myriad Flower Lady.” Li Fuchen greeted with a cupped fist.

“Haha, recently, I had a feeling that someone broke through into a star domain-level heaven lord. I originally thought it was the Myriad Flower la.s.s, but I didn’t expect it to be the young brother Primary Extreme Lord. The young truly surpa.s.ses the old.” The Crosswise River Primogenitor laughed heartily with a lamenting tone.

Without becoming a star domain-level heaven lord, one would never know the excitement of a star domain-level heaven lord.

Star domain-level heaven lords represented eternity and carefree.

For countless years, the Crosswise River Primogenitor had witnessed the fall of countless individuals with amazing talent. Therefore, in his opinion, as long as none of them became a star domain-level heaven lord, it would still ultimately be a dream.

“The Crosswise River Primogenitor is praising too much.” 

This was Li Fuchen’s first time seeing the Crosswise River Primogenitor at such a close distance. His heart was involuntarily filled with admiration as the Crosswise River Primogenitor was truly worthy of being one of the most ancient star domain-level heaven lords. Just by standing there, he was giving off a boundless feeling, similar to a pressure coming from an entire universe.

“Thousands Spirit Heaven Lord, you invited the Primary Extreme Lord, but why didn’t you invite me? Why? Are you looking down on me?” The Blood Ax Lord was used to being oppressive and immediately gave off a suffocating aura.

The Thousands Spirit Heaven Lord replied with fear, “If I knew that the Blood Ax Lord had free time, I would have definitely invited you.”

“Forget it. Since the Primary Extreme Lord is here today, I shall not be calculative with you.”

The Blood Ax Lord sat beside Li Fuchen. The city lord-level heaven lord who was originally sitting there had already dodged to the side and didn’t even dare to say anything.

The Crosswise River Primogenitor and the Hundred Flower Lady sat opposite Li Fuchen.

Immediately after, the four of them ate and drank as they conversed. As for the others, they didn’t even dare to make a sound as they were afraid they would disturb them.

“Primary Extreme Lord, I am the Golden Islet Heaven Lord. I am untalented and wish to get some guidance from a lord. Please give me some guidance.”

Right at this moment, a golden-armored man stood up. He was speaking in a seemingly respectful tone, but he was actually rather arrogant.

“It is the Golden Islet Heaven Lord.”

“His master is the Treasure River Dao Progenitor is a formidable figure. He is ranked top 1000 in the Lord Rankings.”

“The Golden Islet Heaven Lord’s strength is already at the pinnacle of city lord-level heaven lords. I wonder how is the Primary Extreme Lord going to deal with this.”

In the large hall, there were sounds of discussions while everyone was paying attention to Li Fuchen.

“Primary Extreme Lord, you need to be careful. I have not heard of the Golden Islet Heaven Lord, but I have heard of his master, the Treasure River Dao Progenitor. In the boundless universe, it is unknown when a universe treasure appeared, the Lord Rankings. It has a list of all the most ancient and terrifying lords. If the Treasure River Dao Progenitor could be listed on it, it means that his strength is close to being the strongest. As a disciple of such a person, the Golden Islet Heaven Lord is definitely not simple.” The Blood Ax Lord gave a warning.

His personality might be overbearing and arrogant, but it was depending on who he was dealing with. He didn’t need to give any face to people like the Crosswise River Primogenitor, but he had to give some face to the Treasure River Dao Progenitor. Otherwise, when the Golden Islet Heaven Lord challenged Li Fuchen, he would have already made a move to obliterate the Golden Islet Heaven Lord.

Of course, a more important factor was because he wanted to witness Li Fuchen’s strength. If Li Fuchen was too weak, he wouldn’t put in as much effort into Li Fuchen in the future.

After taking the sip of the Star Fluid Wine, the Crosswise River Primogenitor was also observing like the Blood Ax Lord. He was rather curious about Li Fuchen’s strength.

As for the Golden Islet Heaven Lord’s status, the Crosswise River Primogenitor didn’t even put it in his eyes.

The Treasure River Dao Progenitor might be more ancient and famous than him, but the lords and lordesses on the Lord Rankings might not be accurate. There were incidents of unranked lords that defeated ranked lords.

The so-called Lord Rankings was actually a ranking of qi presence. Generally speaking, the more ancient a lord, the stronger the qi presence.

However, qi presence and strength didn’t form an absolute relations.h.i.+p, as there would always be some room for error.

The Lord Rankings had plenty of young lords who had abnormally terrifying qi presence because of some special encounter.

Of course, it wasn’t possible to say that the lords and lordesses on the Lord Rankings weren’t powerful. Qi presence might not be directly related to strength, but there was still a certain extent of relations.h.i.+p.

After taking a small sip of Star Fluid Wine, Li Fuchen put down the wine cup and said, “I have heard of your master’s renowned name. Why don’t we do it like this? If you can block one sword move from me, I will admit defeat.”

Li Fuchen wasn’t a fool. He knew when to be humble and when not to.

When facing a city lord-level heaven lord, even if it was the strongest of the city lord-level heaven lord, if he couldn’t end the battle swiftly, he would be underestimated by others. No one would say he was trying to be friendly or indifferent to fame.

“Alright, one sword move it is.” The Golden Islet Heaven Lord’s face had a flash of anger.

“This Primary Extreme Lord is too arrogant. He thinks he can defeat me in a single sword move. What a joke.” The Golden Islet Heaven Lord thought to himself.

But it was actually in favor for him. Originally, he wasn’t confident in contesting with Li Fuchen. But if it was only for one sword move, even if Li Fuchen was several times stronger, he was confident he could block the attack.

The hall was ma.s.sive and the center was like a s.p.a.cious plaza.

The Golden Islet Heaven Lord was the first to arrive on the plaza.

“Primary Extreme Lord, please make your move!” The Golden Islet Heaven Lord acc.u.mulated his energy and was secretly holding on a high-grade supreme rate cardinal artifact. He was quietly waiting for Li Fuchen’s attack.

“Be careful now.”

Li Fuchen didn’t even draw his sword. With a draw of the sword finger, the sword qi transformed into a sword sea that engulfed the Golden Islet Heaven Lord.

After doing this, Li Fuchen returned to his seat.

15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours…

The Golden Islet Heaven Lord wasn’t able to escape from the sword sea until now.

The chasm between city lord-level heaven lords and star domain-level heaven lords was impossible to cover. Even with a high-grade supreme rate cardinal artifact, a city lord-level heaven lord would barely have the strength of a star domain-level heaven lord.

“Primary Extreme Lord, have a drink.” The Blood Ax Lord lifted his wine cup to offer a toast.

How could he not see that Li Fuchen wasn’t just an ordinary star domain-level heaven lord?

Seeing that Li Fuchen already had such strength when he was a newly progressed star domain-level heaven lord, the Blood Ax Lord had the intention to be closer friends with Li Fuchen.

The rest of the people looked at Li Fuchen with different eyes now.

With all the years of venture in the universe, the Crosswise River Primogenitor believed that he had never seen a prodigy like Li Fuchen. Li Fuchen had simply broken the natural order of the universe.

As for the other city lord-level heaven lords, they were looking at Li Fuchen with awe. At first, they thought the Golden Islet Heaven Lord would be able to exchange a few moves with Li Fuchen. They never expected that the Golden Islet Heaven Lord couldn’t even receive a single move. If it was them, they would have been killed instantly.

Just as the Thousands Spirit Feast was halfway through, the Golden Islet Heaven Lord finally broke out of the sword sea.

“Again!” The Golden Islet Heaven Lord was angered from the embarra.s.sment.

The Crosswise River Primogenitor said, “Golden Islet Heaven Lord, three days have already pa.s.sed. There is no need to continue.”

“Three days have pa.s.sed?” The Golden Islet Heaven Lord was first dazzled before he became despondent.
