The Divine Arena, absolutely extraordinary, is a place for grand battles against opponents. Suspended in the sky, it welcomes heroes from all directions to witness the clashes.
It can serve as a life-and-death battleground while also imposing various rules and restrictions.
Depending on the enemy and the circumstances, the Divine Arena can activate different rules.
One of its most renowned rules ensures combatants fight at the same cultivation level, catering to those who pursue the pinnacle and crave a battle of equals at the peak of their realm.
Clearly, Shi Hao’s suggestion to ascend the Divine Arena was to engage in what he called a “peak battle”—a grand confrontation where both combatants would fight at the same level.
Little Heavenly King, having fused with a supreme treasure seed, now possesses unfathomable strength, standing atop the martial path with an air of invincibility, as if no opponent could challenge him.
Since he himself declared that this would not be a true decisive battle but a contest of intellect—implying he intended to “accommodate” Shi Hao—Shi Hao responded in kind.
Shi Hao needed no such accommodation. If the other party deemed it “inappropriate” due to his overwhelming strength and higher cultivation, then let them settle it in the Divine Arena with an equal-level battle.
“This is highly inappropriate. Little Heavenly King’s status is far above yours. How could he engage in such a childish game as a Divine Arena battle?”
“Exactly! Have you ever seen an elder in the academy sparring with a junior like this?”
Immediately, objections arose, rejecting the condition as absurd. Why should Little Heavenly King, who stood so high, restrain himself?
Shi Hao remained silent, calmly observing. He had already “made his move,” proposing his battle condition. Whether the other party accepted was no longer his concern.
Many in the Heavenly Deity Academy were astonished that Shi Hao dared to challenge Little Heavenly King at the same level, yet they couldn’t help but anticipate the clash.
Rumors of Little Heavenly King’s prowess were widespread—he was hailed as peerless among his generation, one of the most dazzling talents across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now, everyone wanted to see if he could truly dominate all at the same level!
“Huang is no simple figure. From his emergence until now, he has shown signs of being unmatched at his level.”
“Indeed, upon reflection, Huang has never suffered defeat, breaking through extreme realms and standing unrivaled among his peers!”
Discussions erupted—some sincere, others deliberately exaggerated to provoke Little Heavenly King into stepping onto the arena for a fierce duel with Shi Hao.
Many had heard that Little Heavenly King, proud and unyielding, never shied away from extreme challenges. In fact, he yearned for a worthy opponent!
“I truly wish to step forward and relish such a battle, but alas, today I cannot fulfill your wish,” Little Heavenly King spoke, surprising the crowd with his refusal—uncharacteristic of his usual demeanor.
Was Little Heavenly King afraid? Impossible!
Those from the Immortal Academy refused to believe he feared battle. He was proud, even arrogant, capable of facing all challengers across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
“I’ve only recently fused with my Dao Seed. Though successful, it remains unstable and requires time to consolidate,” Little Heavenly King explained with a gentle smile. “I was fortunate to obtain a supreme treasure seed, but such perfection, while unstable, is both an opportunity and a potential disaster.”
What did he mean? The crowd grew even more puzzled.
“Because it is a perfect seed, any suppression before full stabilization is ineffective. Even the Divine Arena cannot suppress me, making an equal-level battle impossible,” Little Heavenly King declared with an air of invincible confidence.
The crowd erupted in shock. Just how powerful was Little Heavenly King that even the Divine Arena’s rules couldn’t constrain him?
“Such unparalleled dominance!”
“This is what true invincibility looks like—rules cannot bind him, showcasing supreme might!”
Everyone in the Heavenly Deity Academy was awed. Though his power stemmed partly from the perfect seed, his sheer strength was undeniable.
Even those from the Immortal Academy were stunned, hearing this for the first time. Many followers couldn’t help but cheer, praising Little Heavenly King’s legendary prowess.
Even Princess Yao Yue, standing on the arched bridge, turned to gaze at this peerless genius, deeply moved, her eyes shimmering with admiration.
“Little Heavenly King is truly transcendent. With such power, he can be called unparalleled across history, unmatched in the heavens and earth,” she praised.
“Why is he called Heavenly King? This is the true foundation—his aura swallows the world, and even the Divine Arena’s rules cannot bind him!” others on the bridge proclaimed proudly.
“This is true invincibility—unable to be suppressed!” Many disciples from the Immortal Academy shouted, their voices filled with reverence.
Shi Hao, hearing this, was moved but unshaken, his gaze only deepening.
“What, Huang? Are you afraid now? Do you finally see the vast gap between you and Little Heavenly King?” someone taunted.
“This is the difference between heaven and earth. This is the true embodiment of invincibility!”
On the bridge, many sneered, mocking Shi Hao.
“I’ve experienced it before,” Shi Hao murmured calmly, undisturbed. The so-called grandeur could not shake his resolve.
Indeed, he had once faced a similar situation—a battle against the Dual-Pupiled One in the lower realm. They had clashed on the Divine Arena of the Void God Realm, and the arena itself had shattered!
Though the destruction was temporary, he had truly felt it.
“What is he saying?” someone asked in confusion.
“He… seems to have once defied the Divine Arena’s suppression,” others muttered uncertainly.
Many doubted, especially those from the Immortal Academy, who scoffed at the claim.
At this moment, Princess Yao Yue intervened again. “Little Heavenly King, since you are not suited to fight, let us sit and discuss. There is no need for bloodshed.”
“Very well. I shall grant him this chance,” Little Heavenly King replied with a faint smile. His current realm was indeed higher—after fusing the immortal seed, he had reached the level of a sect master, though not yet fully stabilized.
“Please, Heavenly King, do not spare him!” many shouted.
In the World Tomb, many from the Immortal Academy had suffered crushing defeats at Shi Hao’s hands. They seethed with resentment, eager for Little Heavenly King to crush him.
Many vehemently opposed the idea of a Divine Arena battle, insisting Shi Hao should be executed with sect master-level power.
“Has Yu Wudi arrived?” Little Heavenly King asked.
The Immortal Academy disciples were taken aback by the sudden mention of this name.
The Heavenly Deity Academy crowd was equally stunned. What an audacious name—Yu Wudi (Invincible Yu)!
“He is here, but not on our flying artifact. He arrived separately,” someone answered cautiously.
“Since Wudi is here, why not reveal himself? He can battle Huang,” Little Heavenly King suggested.
The Heavenly Deity Academy crowd was puzzled. Who was this person, qualified to represent Little Heavenly King?
“Who is this Yu Wudi?” Princess Yao Yue inquired, equally curious.
“Perhaps the strongest among Heavenly Deities!” Little Heavenly King declared, eliciting gasps.
“The Immortal Academy has such a figure?” Even Princess Yao Yue was astonished.
“Of course! Our academy is filled with prodigies. More than one Heavenly King walks among us!” someone boasted.
“Self-proclaimed, no doubt,” someone from the Heavenly Deity Academy muttered skeptically, unafraid to stir the pot.
“I assure you, Yu Wudi is formidable. Whoever defeats him may truly be the strongest among Heavenly Deities,” Little Heavenly King stated.
The Heavenly Deity Academy crowd inhaled sharply. Who was this Yu Wudi? Many scrambled for answers.
“The closed-door disciple of the Immortal Academy’s Grand Elder. The Grand Elder has only taught two disciples—Yu Wudi is one!”
“Praised as the second Little Heavenly King, the strongest below the sect master level in the Immortal Academy!”
Soon, these details spread. The Immortal Academy disciples swelled with pride, believing their academy’s strongest Heavenly Deity meant the strongest across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
A small boat cut through the sky, carrying a gray-robed man shrouded in mist. The vessel was wreathed in chaotic energy, as if emerging from the dawn of creation.
As it traversed the void, space itself split, a breathtaking sight.
“Wudi, you’ve come,” Little Heavenly King greeted warmly before introducing him to the crowd. “Wudi is no weaker than I was at the Heavenly Deity realm!”
Such an introduction was both solemn and shocking. Was Yu Wudi truly that powerful?
“Yu Wudi is the current strongest Heavenly Deity!” the Immortal Academy disciples added.
This title was staggering.
“If you can defeat Wudi, I will lend you this azure armor temporarily. Once you successfully fuse your Dao Seed, I will personally battle you. The victor keeps the armor!” Little Heavenly King declared.
This caused an uproar. Yu Wudi’s sudden appearance, rivaling Little Heavenly King’s past self, marked him as a potential Heavenly Deity realm overlord.
“Truly the strongest?” Shi Hao’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“Without a doubt! Across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no Heavenly Deity can rival him!” Many from the Immortal Academy affirmed, brimming with confidence.
The crowd was awed. How many dared claim invincibility in a single realm?
Here stood one, acknowledged by the Immortal Academy, praised even by Little Heavenly King.
“Very well. I shall test this so-called strongest Heavenly Deity!” Shi Hao declared.
At that moment, the white bone gourd in the sky trembled, immortal energy swirling as its mouth opened, revealing a radiant gate. A group emerged—the Sacred Academy had broken their silence!
Forty to fifty figures stepped forth, their blood energy surging like prehistoric true dragons and phoenixes. Unlike the Immortal Academy’s ethereal grace, these individuals exuded sharp, unyielding auras.
Yet, they soon calmed, their presence dimming like primordial deities from the dawn of time.
Wang Xi was among them, as a peerless genius from the Sacred Academy might form a marital alliance with her family.
“When the tiger is absent, the monkey proclaims himself king!” someone from the Sacred Academy mocked.
“What do you mean? Who are you insulting?!” the Immortal Academy disciples retorted angrily.
“Even among those cultivating the ancient methods, your Immortal Academy has no claim to the title of strongest Heavenly Deity!” a Sacred Academy disciple sneered.
The crowd erupted.
“If you disagree, prove it on the Divine Arena! Let us see who truly reigns supreme in the Heavenly Deity realm!” the Immortal Academy disciples challenged coldly.
Tension spiked—the two academies were clearly rivals.
“If you wish, we shall battle. Our visit to the Heavenly Deity Academy was for exchange and sparring!” a Sacred Academy disciple countered.
“Little Heavenly King, why not join? Fear not the arena’s suppression—fight at the Heavenly Deity level!” another from the Sacred Academy shouted.
“Very well. I welcome the challenge!” Little Heavenly King responded icily, actually agreeing to fight.
“Truth be told, some ancient figures who vanished long ago, also cultivating immortal energy, could defeat you all in the Heavenly Deity realm—let alone our Sacred Academy’s supreme geniuses!” a Sacred Academy disciple scoffed.
“Come, then! Let us settle this here!” Both sides burned with battle lust.
**BOOM!**
An immense arena materialized midair, grand and majestic, shrouded in immortal mist.
Clearly, the elders had taken notice, delivering the arena to permit the battle.
In a flash of light, a figure appeared on the arena—Shi Hao. He had been placed there without consent, involuntarily becoming the challenger.
“The battle for the strongest Heavenly Deity!” someone exclaimed.
Bone scripts intertwined on the arena, forming those very words.
The elders had ordained this battle’s purpose—to determine the strongest Heavenly Deity!
