Chapter 545: Chapter 545: The Center of Attention

"Has Su Han still not come out of his seclusion?"

Outside Yaoguang Peak, Saint You Heng and Thunder Ming were both waiting. Holy Meteor Mountain was a staggering 100,000 miles from Qingzhou. Flying there would take at least one or two months, so they had no choice but to use a Teleportation Array.

Saint You Heng was personally escorting Su Han to Holy Meteor Mountain. However, with only one day left before their month-long appointment, they were extremely pressed for time. Even using the Myriad Treasures Pavilion’s Teleportation Array, they had to hurry. If they did not reach Holy Meteor Mountain in time, Su Han’s reputation would plummet.

"He should be out soon," Thunder Ming remarked.

Compared to Saint You Heng’s anxiety, Thunder Ming was quite relaxed. He even hoped Su Han would simply miss the appointment. After all, compared to one’s reputation, life was far more important.

Over the past month, Tian Lou Saint had been challenging cultivators far and wide, amassing a terrifying record of ninety-nine consecutive victories. His duel with Su Han on Holy Meteor Mountain would be his one-hundredth battle.

He intended to use Su Han’s life to bring this challenging spree to a perfect conclusion.

Tian Lou Saint was simply too powerful. Among those he had defeated were not only Imperial Sons and Emperor’s Daughters but also many long-established veteran powerhouses, with the strongest being an expert at the Supreme Realm Seventh Level.

With just one more battle, Tian Lou Saint would achieve the glorious feat of one hundred consecutive victories. For this reason, the battle on Holy Meteor Mountain was garnering immense attention.

CRACK!

At that moment, the doors of the Heavenly Thunder Palace swung open. Brilliant sunlight streamed in, outlining Su Han’s silhouette.

He had black hair and black robes. His aura was demonic, and his pair of deep, dark eyes resembled bottomless Black Holes, capable of devouring the Heart Spirits of others.

Su Han’s expression was calm, betraying neither excitement nor panic, as if even the strongest of foes could not shake his will.

Supreme Realm Third Layer. His cultivation realm isn’t weak. Coupled with that mask of his, he might even hold a distinct advantage! Saint You Heng instantly discerned Su Han’s current realm, and his heart eased slightly.

Although one’s realm does not absolutely define their combat power, a higher realm naturally grants greater strength.

"My apologies for the delay," Su Han said, taking the initiative to apologize. He knew that with only one day remaining, Saint You Heng was under immense pressure.

"Are you ready?"

Getting to Holy Meteor Mountain in one day was a source of tremendous pressure for Saint You Heng as well, but he said nothing more on the matter. He simply gazed at Su Han and posed the final question.

Once they set out, life and death were uncertain.

"I will kill Tian Lou Saint!" Su Han declared, a smile spreading across his face, revealing his immense confidence.

With my Invincible Tao Xin, I am invincible! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Good. Since you are prepared, we must depart. Otherwise, we won’t make it," Saint You Heng said with a nod, ceasing to speak further.

"Master, I am leaving now. Rest assured, I will return victorious!" Su Han gave Thunder Ming a deep bow.

"I believe in you!" No matter how reluctant or worried Thunder Ming was, he would not stand in the way of Su Han’s decision.

After bidding farewell to his master, Su Han departed from the Seven Stars Sect with Saint You Heng. The two proceeded to Qian Yuan City and used the Myriad Treasures Pavilion’s Spatial Transmission Formation to travel to Huayang City in Yun Province.

The journey from Qingzhou to Holy Meteor Mountain spanned over one hundred Daozhou and required more than one hundred transfers via Spatial Transmission Formations. One day was an incredibly tight schedule.

This journey was to tread upon prodigies and slay the Saint Heir!

As Su Han made his way to Holy Meteor Mountain, countless others from all over the Eastern Region were also en route.

"Sister Lan Xi, hurry up! If we’re any later, we won’t make it!" Zhang Xiaowan urged.

She and Lan Xi were racing across the sky on a White Jade Dao Boat. They had set out from Yuezhou and should have arrived by now, but a minor malfunction with their vessel had delayed them.

"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely make it in time," Lan Xi replied, fully focused on piloting the White Jade Dao Boat. She had a perfect grasp of the distance and speed required and knew they would arrive on schedule. Zhang Xiaowan was simply being impatient.

"I just know little Su Su will thrash that Tian Lou Saint! I have to be there to cheer him on!" Zhang Xiaowan exclaimed, shaking her small fists, brimming with confidence in Su Han. This time, she and Lan Xi were going to be his personal cheerleading squad.

While Lan Xi was not as outwardly passionate as Zhang Xiaowan, she had long held a secret crush on Su Han. Even with Tian Lou Saint’s star ascendant, she firmly believed that Su Han would emerge victorious.

The White Jade Dao Boat sliced through the sky, speeding toward Holy Meteor Mountain.

A puff of auspicious, smoke-like clouds coalesced into the shape of a qilin and sped across the firmament. Within the clouds was a familiar figure.

This was a handsome and distinguished young man, none other than the first-ranked prodigy of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion: Jun Zhantian.

Jun Zhantian had always been hostile toward Su Han and disliked Tian Lou Saint as well, but he could not deny their strength. Thus, he was on his way to Holy Meteor Mountain to spectate the battle. It would be best if they both ended up grievously injured and killed each other. That would save me the trouble of dealing with them one by one!

His eyes glinted with a cold, sharp light. He disliked both Su Han and Tian Lou Saint, so them taking each other out was the outcome he most hoped for.

However, even if they did not kill each other, the battle would inevitably leave one dead and one alive. No matter the result, it would be to his benefit.

An imposing warship that glinted with a cold light traversed the sky, occasionally warping through the Void to increase its speed.

Engraved upon this warship was an ancient, imposing "Xiao" character, signifying that it belonged to the Xiao Clan, one of the Four Great Imperial Clans.

Two figures stood upon the warship. One of them, dressed in an imperial robe, was a man with handsome features and an extraordinary bearing. He was the Imperial Son of the Xiao Family, Xiao Tianming.

He had sky-high aspirations, but his fate was as thin as paper. He had challenged Tian Lou Saint multiple times but had never once won.

This time, after Tian Lou Saint broke through to the Supreme Realm, he came to the Xiao Family to issue a challenge, and Xiao Tianming was defeated in public. It was an unbearable blow, and as a result, he hated Tian Lou Saint to the bone. Su Han, although I don’t like you either, I still hope you win.

He was journeying to Holy Meteor Mountain for the express purpose of personally witnessing the fall of the arrogant Tian Lou Saint.

Although the possibility was slim, it was not zero!

"Imperial Son, we will arrive in an hour at most," a Female Saint in grey robes reported from beside him. She was Xiao Tianming’s Protector, accompanying him to spectate the battle.

Su Han, you had better not disappoint me!

They were almost there. Xiao Tianming’s eyes flashed with anticipation, unable to wait for the great battle to begin.

Tian Lou Saint, I will personally witness your defeat and death!

The stir caused by this battle was immense. Combined with Tian Lou Saint’s successive challenges, it filled the prodigies and powerhouses of the various major factions with anticipation. At this very moment, countless experts were rushing from all corners of the Eastern Region toward Holy Meteor Mountain, solely to witness this battle firsthand. Meanwhile, the Martial Artists unable to attend in person were also waiting with bated breath for the outcome.

At this moment, Holy Meteor Mountain had become the focal point of the entire Eastern Region.
