Holy Meteor Mountain, located within the borders of Mingzhou, bore a notorious reputation. In the past, no one dared to approach it, yet now it was teeming with people and completely overcrowded. Of course, due to the lingering resentment of the Xuanming Great Saint, the influence grew stronger the closer one got. Therefore, all the spectators could only linger on the outskirts, unable to get too close.

Holy Meteor Mountain was a majestic and imposing peak with an altitude of 7,000 meters, towering into the clouds. Unlike other mountains, its sole color was black. Devoid of any vegetation, it was desolate in the extreme. Even the Spiritual Energy was scarce, making it impossible for ordinary creatures to survive on it. The black mountain contrasted sharply with the surrounding white clouds, resembling a magnificent ink painting filled with artistic beauty when viewed from a distance.

"This day has finally arrived! I rushed here the moment I heard the news and have been waiting for a whole month. I hope this duel lives up to my long wait."

"I’m so excited! I can finally see the Tian Lou Saint! If he wins this battle, he’ll achieve a perfect record of one hundred victories in one hundred battles. That’s an unprecedented accomplishment! He’s truly the man of my dreams. I adore him!"

"I’ve always heard of the Tian Lou Saint’s might but have never been able to witness it myself. I hope Su Han can hold on for a while. If he loses too quickly, it’ll be no fun!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, creating an uproar as everyone wore looks of excitement and anticipation. The massive throng of people occupied the area around Holy Meteor Mountain, forming a huge circle. A rough estimate placed the number of spectators at no less than 100,000—this was definitely a battle that would be recorded in the annals of history. Such a large-scale gathering of spectators was a rare sight in the entire history of the Eastern Region. Regardless of who won or lost this battle, the names of Su Han and the Tian Lou Saint would be remembered by all.

Zhang Xiaowan and Lan Xi were there as well, but their strength also prevented them from getting too close. They could only blend into the crowd and wait anxiously. This crowd of one hundred thousand was not made up of ordinary people or average Martial Artists. Those who could come here and withstand the corrosive resentment from Holy Meteor Mountain all possessed a certain level of strength. The weakest among them were in the Divine Power Realm, while the strongest were Saints—and there was more than one.

"So many people, what a grand spectacle!" Jun Zhantian had arrived, and even he was taken aback by the sight of this vast crowd of one hundred thousand onlookers. Although he was the top prospect of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he was nothing special in this crowd; there were plenty of people stronger than him.

WHOOSH!

A warship gleaming with a cold light approached, drawing everyone’s attention—it was the Xiao Family’s warship. Although Xiao Tianming himself was not particularly strong, the warship was a Holy Artifact. With the Female Saint at the helm, it could withstand more of the resentment’s corrosive effects. Ultimately, the warship flew over the crowd and positioned itself at the very front, becoming the closest party to Holy Meteor Mountain.

"Goddess Ye has arrived!"

Suddenly, the crowd erupted as countless gazes turned toward a certain location. On a jade chariot, two hazy figures could be seen, shrouded in Holy Light and exuding an air of mystery. This was the Ye Family’s jade chariot, carrying Ye Lingyin and her Protector.

Ye Lingyin was known as the number one beauty in the Eastern Region, regarded as a dream goddess by countless people, and she had innumerable admirers. Even though the Holy Light obscured her features, making it impossible to see her true face, this did nothing to diminish the crowd’s excitement. Ye Lingyin was originally ranked second on the prodigy list, above the Tian Lou Saint, but she had recently been defeated by him. Resentful of her loss, she had come specifically to watch this battle.

Of the Four Great Imperial Clans, Chu Feng was absent and Lin Miaomiao kept a low profile and had not come, so only Xiao Tianming and Ye Lingyin were present from their generation’s leaders. However, the Chu and Lin Families had other members there to watch, so the Four Great Imperial Clans were thus more or less all represented.

"The Yu Yao Holy Maiden is here too!"

Besides the Four Great Imperial Clans, all of the Ten Great Holy Lands were also present, and the Yu Yao Holy Maiden, who also held the title of a great beauty, garnered a great deal of attention.

The Yu Yao Holy Maiden was exceptionally beautiful, like a fairy descended to the mortal realm—holy and transcendent. She did not conceal her appearance. Her hair was as black as ink, and her skin was as white as snow. The striking contrast of black and white in her beautiful eyes was especially captivating. Not only did she possess astonishing beauty, but her innate talent and strength were also not to be underestimated. On the previous prodigy list, she was ranked fourth, below the Tian Lou Saint but above both Xiao Tianming and Lin Miaomiao.

Now, she too had broken through to the Supreme Realm, and her Black and White Sacred Body had reached the Great Accomplishment stage. Her strength was immeasurable; it was likely that Xiao Tianming was still no match for her. The Yu Yao Holy Maiden had a good relationship with the Tian Lou Saint. They had even teamed up in the Dragon Palace Ruins, so naturally, she would not be absent from this life-and-death duel between him and Su Han.

Besides the Yu Yao Holy Maiden, the Saint Heirs and Holy Maidens from the other holy lands were all present. Not one was missing, as they too wanted to see just how powerful Su Han and the Tian Lou Saint had truly become.

"Look, it’s the Prophet Great Saint!" someone suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone’s attention.

Ripples spread through space, and an old man with a white beard and hair and a celestial air stepped out, appearing before the crowd. This old man was none other than the Prophet Great Saint from the Demon Slayer Sect.

All seven of the Demon Slayer Sect’s Great Slaughter Stars had fallen to Su Han. Furthermore, the Swordsaint and the Mad Lion Saint had also perished because of him. For this life-and-death duel, they naturally had to come and watch, and the Prophet Great Saint was the Demon Slayer Sect’s representative.

The Prophet Great Saint appeared calm, but inwardly he was filled with doubts. I’ve performed my divination more than a dozen times, and the results were always a fifty-fifty split. What ability does Su Han possibly have to contend with the Tian Lou Saint? Like everyone else, he believed that the Tian Lou Saint had a great advantage, but his divinations suggested an even match, which puzzled him. He had to witness it with his own eyes. Of course, in his heart, he still hoped that the Tian Lou Saint would win and kill Su Han to eliminate future troubles.

"Prophet, you sly old fox! If you dare to pull any tricks, this lady will flatten you with a hammer!"

Just as the Prophet Great Saint flew to the front of the crowd, a domineering voice suddenly erupted.

Yun Chang emerged from the void, holding the Heaven-Shaking Sacred Hammer and exuding a violent beauty. She flew straight toward the Prophet Great Saint and stopped beside him. She was well aware of the grudge between Su Han and the Demon Slayer Sect. Moreover, the Prophet Great Saint was a master of divination, whose endless insidious tricks were impossible to guard against, so she had to be wary of any underhanded schemes.

Seeing Yun Chang’s glare, the Prophet Great Saint abandoned his petty schemes. Otherwise, he truly would have tried to cause some trouble for Su Han.

The Four Great Imperial Clans, the Ten Great Holy Lands, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and the Demon Slayer Sect—at this moment, all the first-rate powers of the Eastern Region were present.

"The Tian Lou Saint has arrived!"

A shout rang out, drawing the gazes of a hundred thousand people. Everyone turned their heads in unison, eager to catch a glimpse of the Tian Lou Saint’s peerless style.
