The Lord of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, the head of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms, was struck down with a single blow to the throat, his head rolling to the ground.
Blood splattered across the sky, a truly tragic sight.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting a Saint to be instantly killed so easily.
The Azure Dragon Kingdom Lord's head fell to the ground, his expression frozen in terror, confusion, and bewilderment.
It was as if he was perplexed, wondering how he, a dignified Saint, could be instantly killed by a single move.
But that wasn't all; the sound-killing blade continued its momentum, sweeping towards the four Saint Puppets.
Boom!
A violent roar echoed.
Two Saint Puppets were directly destroyed, severed at the waist.
The remaining two Puppets also suffered heavy damage; though not completely disintegrated, they were already shattered.
The entire battlefield was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.
Champion Marquis's pupils trembled violently, revealing a hint of disbelief.
Jun Xiaoyao's Guardian was actually that strong?
Yang Pan had originally thought that even if Jun Xiaoyao had a Guardian, he would likely only be at the Saint Realm.
Stronger cultivators, generally speaking, would not be willing to act as personal nannies.
Jun Xiaoyao's Guardian's strength was clearly beyond the Saint Realm.
"Could it be a Saint King?" Yang Pan's expression was very ugly.
Since becoming the Champion Marquis, he had never suffered such a great loss.
Now, almost all of his high-end combat power was gone, and the two remaining damaged Puppets had almost no fighting capability.
As for Jun Xiaoyao's side, not to mention the terrifyingly strong Guardian, there were three Saints alone.
Coupled with the defection of the White Tiger Ancient Kingdom and Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom's armies.
Champion Marquis, the tide had turned against him.
Seeing this situation, Yang Pan took a deep breath and said, "Jun Xiaoyao, do you really want to oppose this Marquis? How about we each take a step back now?"
Yang Pan wasn't stupid; at this point, if he continued to resist, he would be the one to suffer.
"Heh, weren't you quite aggressive before? Now you want to take a step back?" Jun Xiaoyao sneered coldly.
"Jun Xiaoyao, this Marquis is giving you Face; there's no benefit in being my enemy!" Yang Pan said, his expression shifting between dark and light.
"Does Divine Child need your Face? Besides, I have so many enemies, do I care about one more stable boy like you?" Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.
He said no more, raising his hand to strike.
Fierce golden Qi and blood soared into the sky, transforming into a lifelike golden Divine Elephant, as if it could suppress the entire universe.
Facing this Clone of Champion Marquis, Jun Xiaoyao didn't even need to use any great Divine Ability; a single palm strike was enough to end the battle.
"Jun Xiaoyao, you are digging your own grave!" Yang Pan roared, also unleashing his great Divine Ability.
But how could his mere Clone, without even the Pan Huang Living Sword by his side, be a match for Jun Xiaoyao?
Pfft!
Jun Xiaoyao pressed down with his palm, directly smashing Yang Pan's Clone into a bloody pulp, pulverizing him.
When they saw this scene, everyone felt their scalps tingle.
Champion Marquis's Clone was just killed with a single palm strike.
"Has the Jun Family Divine Child become this powerful?" Many generals were astonished.
Their Realm was several levels higher than Jun Xiaoyao's, but at this moment, seeing Jun Xiaoyao's fierce demeanor, they all felt a sense of dread.
At the same time Jun Xiaoyao shattered Yang Pan's Clone.
Far away in the Panwu Divine Dynasty, within a magnificent hall, resplendent with gold and jade, purple Qi swirling, and an aura of grandeur.
A furious roar echoed from within.
"Jun Xiaoyao, I, Yang Pan, will never rest until one of us is dead!"
Hearing this sound, the maids and Servants outside the hall all turned pale, showing signs of panic.
When Yang Pan got angry, he was even more terrifying than a Shura Evil Ghost.
"I think I heard the Jun Family Divine Child's name. What kind of enmity has Marquis formed with him?" Some Servants thought, trembling with fear.
At this moment, Yang Pan's cold voice came from inside the hall.
"Someone, convey this Marquis's order: spread the news that I, Champion Marquis Yang Pan, will challenge Jun Xiaoyao of the Jun Family at the Forbidden City, on top of the Imperial Palace of the Divine Dynasty!"
"The time will be set on the day Wu Mingyue chooses her consort. This Marquis wants to trample Jun Xiaoyao underfoot in front of all the forces in the Immortal Domain!"
Hearing this, all the Servants around the entire hall were petrified, their eyes wide, gasping for air.
The Champion Marquis of the Panwu Divine Dynasty challenging the Ancient Jun Family Divine Child.
This was no small matter; if word got out, it would cause a huge stir!
Moreover, with the time chosen for Wu Mingyue's consort selection day, how lively would the Panwu Divine Dynasty be then?
And how many forces would be attracted to come?
Unimaginable...
"A grand era of Prodigy competition is about to begin. I hope Marquis can have the last laugh," an old Servant sighed.
Meanwhile, in the Vermillion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't know that Yang Pan was so angry he wanted to challenge him.
But even if he knew, Jun Xiaoyao probably wouldn't be perturbed.
Dare to challenge him?
A single palm strike would be enough to suppress him.
Countless people around still had shock lingering in their eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, had a calm expression.
Casually killing a Yang Pan Clone was really not a big deal to him.
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze swept over, and within the residual blood of Yang Pan's Clone, a ring shimmered.
Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and grabbed it.
The ring had a Soul Seal, but Jun Xiaoyao casually activated the True Spirit within his Divine Palace.
That True Spirit, like a miniature Jun Xiaoyao, released a powerful Divine Soul force.
Although Jun Xiaoyao's Physical Body was terrifyingly strong, he hadn't neglected his Divine Soul Cultivation.
He had always been Cultivating the Chaotic Divine Grind Contemplation Method.
Jun Xiaoyao's Divine Soul power easily broke through the ring's Seal.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't care about the miscellaneous items inside.
What he cared about was the bronze compass components.
As expected, all three bronze compass components were inside.
"Yang Pan, oh Yang Pan, you've plotted for so long, yet in the end, I've reaped the rewards. You're practically Xiao Chen 2.0," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
Yang Pan's painstaking schemes ultimately benefited Jun Xiaoyao.
He knew that Yang Pan must be furious enough to explode right now.
Jun Xiaoyao put the three compass components into his spatial Magical Artifact.
With this, he had collected all four compass components.
However, now was clearly not the time to study them.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced down; everyone in the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's army had extremely pale Faces.
Those generals, in particular, had a hint of hatred flickering in their eyes.
After all, their Kingdom Lord had indirectly died by Jun Xiaoyao's hand.
"Convey Divine Child's order: kill all generals of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, from soldiers upwards," Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Before the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord could agree, the White Tiger Kingdom Lord and Black Tortoise Kingdom Lord eagerly rushed to respond.
Since they had pledged allegiance, they naturally had to show some attitude now.
Soon, they annihilated many generals of the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, while all the soldiers surrendered.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao issued an order to unify the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms into the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
And the Vermillion Bird Kingdom Lord became the Kingdom Lord of the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
His successor was Bai Yu'er.
The turmoil of the Four Great Ancient Kingdoms thus subsided.
However, the ripples had only just begun...
