Chapter 403

For the people of this region, it was a golden age for so many monstrous geniuses to roam the outside world.

However, some factions were destined to not even have the chance to serve as foils. For example, the Geng family and the Li family's monstrous geniuses had all been killed by Zi Chen.

Apart from the Ancestor level, there was no one in this region who could suppress these monstrous geniuses. If they wanted to increase their strength again, they could only go to a wider world. That was their stage.

Everything would eventually come to an end. They would never forget that a person called Zi Chen had brought endless legends and endless glory to this region. He had once overshadowed all the other monstrous geniuses with his own strength.

This region had completely quieted down. Without a group of young monstrous geniuses, it lacked the vitality it should have. It was like an old man in his twilight years, filled with a deathly aura. It was dusk.

The large factions that had been on tenterhooks also breathed a sigh of relief. In the future, they would do their best to nurture the next generation of young people and accumulate strength.

Dust would eventually settle, and legends would also fade away. As time passed, the legends about Zi Chen slowly became a thing of the past.

This region was filled with a deathly aura, and there were no longer any ripples. Occasionally, in the taverns, after getting drunk, people would mention that there was a young man named Zi Chen who suppressed the younger generation and became the strongest monster. He created endless glory, but in the end, he died young.

A year had passed, and those monstrous geniuses who had left still hadn't returned. No one knew whether they were alive or dead.

And people gradually forgot about those monstrous geniuses of the past. A new generation of young people began to show their talents.

Young geniuses appeared one after another. They were only in their teens, but they had already stepped into the Xiantian realm. Each of them had outstanding talents, indicating the arrival of another golden age. During this year, many young geniuses appeared.

One era passed, and another came.

In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. The young geniuses brought vitality to this deathly region.

However, the waves they caused were not as shocking as Zi Chen's. These young geniuses were only in the Xiantian realm. They still had a long way to go.

As for the former Zhan Martial Ancestor, the Xuan Martial Ancestor, because of the two monstrous geniuses, Zhang Haotian and Lu Peng, they had become famous.

As the young geniuses rose, the monstrous geniuses created their own glory in another region.

The natives of the Southern Domain had made a name for themselves.

In a nameless mountain range, the sky was clear and blue.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the sound of rolling thunder resounded. It was as if doomsday had arrived. Terrifying bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

The boundless might of thunder made the hearts of all living things tremble. Hundreds of beasts prostrated themselves in fear and unease.

This was a lightning tribulation with terrifying power that could obliterate everything.

The world was silvery white. Streaks of lightning were like chains of heaven and earth, piercing through the heavens. Thunder rumbled, and the might of the lightning was vast and mighty. Large areas of the forest were destroyed.

The mountain peak exploded, and rocks rolled down. Endless lightning filled the sky. Hundreds of beasts roared and fled frantically. Some of the slower ones were instantly destroyed by the lightning. It was a scene of apocalypse.

But in this sea of lightning, there was a black-haired youth who was using his physical body to resist the lightning tribulation. Golden light shone around him as he unleashed one powerful attack after another. The lightning that filled the sky was scattered by him, turning into lightning energy that he devoured in large gulps. He then used this energy to temper his body and strengthen his physique.

Golden light flickered. He was like a God of War in golden armor, standing in the midst of the thousands of lightning bolts, allowing the lightning to wreak havoc.

"Rumble."

The lightning bolts fell from the sky, becoming stronger and stronger. In the end, it completely drowned the world, forming a sea of lightning.

The entire forest was in a frenzy at this moment. Rocks collapsed, trees exploded, and the earth cracked. Endless might of thunder wreaked havoc on everything.

This lightning tribulation lasted for a few hours, shocking the surroundings.

When the energy dissipated, a young man walked out of the devastated forest. On his shoulder, there was a glowing little guy that looked like an ape and a monkey.

"It's been two years. I wonder what happened in the outside world."

With the little guy, the young man came to a bustling city to inquire about the whereabouts of some old friends.

On that day, there was a fierce battle between two geniuses, which attracted a lot of attention. The geniuses were from the Cang and Li families. In the end, the genius from the Cang family won.

"The genius from the Li family lost."

"The Li family is in decline now. Zi Chen killed three geniuses and many experts. Since then, they have been unable to recover."

"It's not that the Li family is unable to recover, but the Cang family has become stronger. Two years ago, the genius from their family brought back the inheritance of the Saint's Burial Ground. As a result, the Cang family's overall strength has become stronger."

In the pub, many people were discussing the battle that day. The rise of the young genius had brought some vitality to this area.

"It's just a battle between Xiantian Realm experts. There's nothing special about it. I still miss the era of Zi Chen. Even the Imperial Sky Realm experts fell in large numbers."

"Yeah. I saw it with my own eyes that day. He killed a Imperial Sky Realm expert with one punch. His unparalleled combat strength is terrifying."

"At that time, as long as Zi Chen appeared, there would be a bloodbath. But in the end, Zi Chen died and became a Sky Realm expert."

"Without Zi Chen and the genius, this area is dead. In the past two years, there hasn't been a single decent battle. I really miss the era of Zi Chen."

Two years had passed. When Zi Chen was mentioned again, there was a small commotion in the pub. Many people were sighing.

"Is it already an era? I'm already a thing of the past." In an inconspicuous corner, a young man looked out of the window and was lost in thought.

It had only been two years, but an era had passed.

"Where are my friends? Did they all leave?"

In the following discussions, as the young man had guessed, all the geniuses had left.

"Wang Xian 'er defeated the four geniuses in less than ten moves. It caused quite a commotion."

"And Lin Xue. She's not any weaker than Wang Xian 'er. She also defeated the four geniuses in less than ten moves."

"Zi Chen's friends have always been strong. Everyone knows that. But no one expected that even his confidante is so strong."

"I heard that Nie Tian made the Geng Family suffer a great loss."

"Zhang Haotian and Lu Peng joined forces and almost killed all the Flight Warriors of the major forces."

With the help of alcohol, everyone reminisced about the past and sighed.

In the corner, a young man was in a daze. He didn't expect so many things to happen after that.

"An era has come to an end. A new generation of young people is about to rise. The era of Zi Chen is over."

"Yeah. Although he created a glorious era, he still died. What a pity."

Everyone sighed.

"Hmph, he's just a dead man. What's there to sigh about?"

Suddenly, a cold snort sounded. A young man walked in from outside. He was only in his teens, but he was emitting a fierce aura.

"Kid, what did you say?" A cultivator slammed the table and stood up.

"Didn't you hear me? I said he's just a dead man." The young man's voice was cold as he strode in. Behind him was a middle-aged man.

"It's him. The young genius of the Cang Family. He just defeated the young genius of the Li Family."

"He's only fifteen years old, and he's already at the middle Xiantian Realm. His talent is extraordinary. It's said that the Cang Family has already raised him as the number one genius."

"The middle-aged man beside him is a Flight Warrior of the Cang Family. He's been protecting him."

Many people recognized the young man and exclaimed.

Hearing the discussions around him, the young man's expression became even more arrogant. He glanced around and said indifferently, "Zi Chen is a thing of the past. He was beaten to death by the experts of my family. Moreover, his talent wasn't high. He was only at the True Qi Realm when he was sixteen years old. Such trash talent makes me feel ashamed."

The young man was very arrogant, and he had the right to be arrogant. He had reached the middle Xiantian Realm at fifteen years old. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or strength, he was much stronger than Zi Chen at that time.

However, many people didn't agree. Zi Chen's talent wasn't high, but his battle prowess was strong. Cultivation didn't represent his battle prowess. Every time he killed an enemy, he was stronger than him.

However, no one said anything because the middle-aged man's Flight Warrior aura made everyone's expression change.

Moreover, the other party was from the Cang Family. He had an irreconcilable enmity with Zi Chen, and this was Cang Li City. At this moment, no one dared to provoke the Cang Family.

"Kid, don't be so rude. Even if some people are dead, they're still not people a brat like you can blaspheme." However, some people were unconvinced and still spoke up.

"What? Did I say something wrong? His talent is mediocre. In the same realm, I can kill ten of him." The young man said proudly.

"Haha, young man, even your family's elders wouldn't dare to say that. If Zi Chen was still alive, he would be able to fly at the very least. Who in the same realm could suppress him? As for you, you'd better go fight a Xiantian Realm expert."

"No matter how strong he is, he's still a dead man. He was killed by my family's experts." The young man's expression was ashen.

"You're only saying he's dead. Why don't you say how many of your family's experts died at his hands? In the Holy Burial Ground, he single-handedly defeated a group of Flight Warriors. At that time, Zi Chen was only at the True Essence Realm. As for your family's monsters, they were heavily injured several times. Even their teeth were knocked out."

"Enough!" The young man was infuriated.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Back then, when Zi Chen attacked, even your mid Zephyr was forced to flee. Now that he's dead, a mere brat like you dares to come here and talk big? Two years ago, you were only thirteen. If you saw Zi Chen, you probably would have peed your pants."

"Uncle Luo, I hate this nonsense fly. I'll knock out all his teeth and let him know the consequences of slandering the Cang Family," said the young man coldly.

"Hmph, whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it clearly in your hearts. What, you want to attack me today?" This was a True Essence Ninth Celestial Layer cultivator. He had been to the Saint Burial Ground that day and was very grateful to Zi Chen.

"Two years ago, your family's experts were suppressed by Zi Chen's friends. You cowered in your family and didn't dare to come out. Have you forgotten? Two years later, you want to attack a rogue cultivator again. Have you forgotten the pain?"

No one said anything. Only this True Essence expert was able to argue.

"Uncle Luo, I hate him. Just kill him," said the young man indifferently. His eyes were as cold as if he was looking at a dead man.

"You can't win in an argument, so you want to kill. As expected, that really is your style. It seems what happened two years ago didn't teach you a profound lesson."

"You talk too much. Now I'll send you on your way."
