Monarch of Time

Sun Wen and Elder Xuan both nodded their heads when they heard Cao Ling's explanation, as their eyes stared at the burly youth in the center of the platform with serious looks in their eyes.

Sun Wen knew that just like Shun Long, Jun Ren, and the rest, this Wu Tao was also someone with had an immortal fate when he tested himself in the ball of fate almost a year ago.

Of course, having an immortal fate didn't mean that one would certainly become an immortal in the future. It only meant that that person simply had enough potential to become one.

But in the cultivation world, one's potential wasn't everything.

Strength, background, willpower, luck, each of those factors was also needed if one wanted to survive. 

Sun Wen himself had personally seen plenty of those geniuses who possessed immortal fates perish, one after the other, while some of those weaker geniuses who didn't even have immortal fates had managed to become much stronger than those immortal fate geniuses who didn't even have a chance to reach their peak potential.

But Sun Wen also knew that if those geniuses who possessed an immortal fate were allowed to grow in the future, they would definitely become powerful experts who would reach at least the Dao Emperor realm.

As for this Wu Tao, Sun Wen understood that if he was the second son of the Wu family's patriarch and his talent was truly at the same level as his elder brother's, then this was someone worthy paying attention to.

After all, the Wu family was one of the 5 strongest families and clans in the territory of the Holy sect, while Wu Tao's elder brother was an extreme genius that even the inner court Elders of the Holy sect held in high regard.

As Sun Wen and the rest continued to observe the fights, Shun Long had stepped on the arena for the 6th time today, as he fought against a young man at the middle of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul.

Just like his previous 5 fights, Shun Long only needed a single punch to defeat the young man in front of him.

How could a middle rank 6 Nascent Soul cultivator resist Shun Long's punch that was comparable to peak rank 9 Nascent Soul stage experts?

Right at the same time that Shun Long ended his fight and was about to retrieve his sect identifying token from the white-robed Elder, his attention was suddenly drawn to a platform not too far away from him, where Bai Longtian was facing the figure of a black-haired young man who was staring at him coldly.

As soon as Shun Long's gaze landed on that person's body, Shun Long's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

The young man in front of Bai Longtian was no one else than the 'strongest genius' of the Night star continent, the prince of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Huang!

At the same time that Shun Long returned back to his seat, he also noticed that Liu Mei and the rest were all staring at Sheng Huang coldly while they waited for the fight to start.

Unlike Bai Longtian, Sheng Huang's cultivation was only at the early rank 6 of the Nascent Soul, and he was actually among the weakest outer court disciples who were still fighting in the arena at this point.

But this was only natural. As the fights of the tournament progressed even further, the disciples that were left were only the strongest ones who could keep rising in the rankings of the Martial Roll of Honor.

And yet, although Sheng Huang hadn't defeated his opponents with a single punch like Shun Long and the rest, even when he was faced with another early rank 6 Nascent Soul outer disciple during his last fight, he had still managed to win relatively easily.

This was tantamount to his strength as well!

Staring at Bai Longtian in front of him who looked as calm as always, Sheng Huang's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a serious voice

''Bai Longtian! My grandfather and your father have known each other for so many years and yet you chose to follow Shun Long as soon as you entered the Holy sect? I don't mind telling you that the person behind Shun Long was the one who stole the most important treasures from the core region of the 'Dragon Lord's villa' back in the Night star continent! Tell me, are you really willing to give the treasures that belong to our Night star continent to an outsider?''

Sheng Huang's eyes flashed with a murderous light as he said the words 'treasures from the core region of the Dragon Lord's villa', while his eyes stared at Bai Longtian like a venomous viper as he waited for his answer.

And yet, Bai Longtian's eyes only widened for a moment as he looked at Sheng Huang and answered in an angry tone

''Sheng Huang, did you forget that brother Shun Long also came from the Night star continent, or are you implying that it is your Shengtian dynasty that should monopolize all the treasures from the heart of the villa? I heard that your Shengtian dynasty obtained more than 20 rank 3 gold grade weapons from the 'Dragon Lord's villa' that year and yet you still want more?

If it wasn't for that hall master of the Demon Emperor palace clearing the way to the core region of the villa, how would your Shengtian dynasty be able to obtain so many treasures?

Now you want to steal brother Shun Long's treasures as well? 

I already know that brother Shun's black sword came from the depths of the 'Dragon Lord's villa', but that has nothing to do with you! Sheng Huang, don't test my limits! As for who I choose to follow, that has nothing to do with you!''

Even Bai Longtian had finally turned angry as he stared at Sheng Huang in front of him.

Sheng Huang was truly greedy!

Not only did his Shengtian dynasty had taken most of the rank 3 gold grade weapons at the heart of the 'Dragon Lord's villa' for themselves, but Sheng Huang also wanted to rob Shun Long while claiming that it was something that belonged to the Night star continent in the first place.

Bai Longtian slowly turned even angrier as he looked at Sheng Huang since he suddenly understood that in Sheng Huang's eyes, the Night star continent belonged to his Shengtian dynasty, so the treasures inside the Night star continent should also belong to him!

What about the others then? Were they members of the Night star continent as well or did the Night star continent belong to his Shengtian dynasty and the rest of the peak powers in the Heaven's Dome city alone?

Sheng Huang's arrogance had made even Bai Longtian who was usually calm and polite extremely furious.

After all, Bai Longtian's father was a supreme expert in the Night star continent, one at the same level as even the old king of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Jun.

However, the Shengtian dynasty as a whole was much stronger than Bai Longtian's 'White city', while Bai Longtian's father was someone who wanted to lead a peaceful life.

But, Bai Longtian also knew that the powers of the Heaven's Dome city, and especially the Shengtian dynasty, monopolized most of the resources in the entire continent and kept it for themselves, including the 2 middle-grade spirit stone mines at the heart of the Night star continent, leaving the other powers outside of the Heaven's Dome city with virtually nothing.

Middle-grade spirit stone mines were considered rare even in the central region that only strong powers at the level of the Demon Emperor palace would be qualified to control them.

And yet, Sheng Huang didn't back down as he stared at Bai Longtian angrily and spat out

''Shun Long? Which power of the Night star continent does he belong to?

Bai Longtian, I will only give you a single chance! I don't care how you do it, but you will have Shun Long hand over the treasures he obtained from the 'Dragon Lord's villa', or I will make sure to raze your White city to the ground! Not just your White city! The Xie family of the silver mountain will be destroyed as well!''
