In the Void Realm, black mist surged, and the hanba bone staff stood menacingly.
That Ba Race Great Emperor spoke, "Don't worry, the time for the Black Calamity to overturn the Realm Sea is not far off."
"But before that, some of the younger ones in my clan are already restless and eager to drink the fresh blood of the Realm Sea's living beings."
"They also want to know how much strength the younger generation of the Realm Sea truly possesses."
"Therefore, if the younger generation of your Realm Sea has the courage, you can battle against the younger generation of my clan."
As the Ba Race Great Emperor finished speaking,
everyone on the Three Emperors Barrier side immediately understood.
The Ba Clan wasn't launching a full-scale attack; instead, they were initiating a Prodigy battle involving the younger generation.
Just like how the Realm Sea sends Prodigies to the Three Emperors Barrier for training,
the younger generation of the Ba Clan also desired to train and battle against the Realm Sea's Prodigies.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a profound glint.
Though it was called a Prodigy battle for the younger generation, it was likely eighty percent targeted at him.
He just didn't know what methods they would use to deal with him.
One must know that ordinary Ba Clan Prodigies, even those from the royal lineage, were far from enough to contend with Jun Xiaoyao.
Therefore, if the Ba Clan wanted to target him, they would likely have to send out some heavyweights.
There might even be more despicable tactics.
But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care; absolute strength gave him absolute confidence.
On the city wall, an old elder snorted, "Hmph, your Ba Clan has always been full of tricks. Who knows what you're truly planning?"
"Perhaps it's some kind of conspiracy."
The old elders on the Three Emperors Barrier side were also seasoned veterans and wouldn't easily believe the Ba Clan's words.
The Ba Race Great Emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at the center where the myriad demons diagram and the hanba bone staff collided.
Chaos Qi flowed there, the Void Realm rippled, vaguely revealing a shattered Microcosm World.
Some of the most top-tier weapons could instantly create and destroy worlds.
"Since you are afraid that my clan will be unfavorable to you,"
"then why not choose this location?"
The Ba Race Great Emperor pointed to that Microcosm World.
"This..."
On the Realm Sea side, some old elders were startled.
They had previously worried that this was a conspiracy by the Ba Clan.
They feared their Prodigies would be lured into a specific location and then annihilated using special methods.
But now,
that shattered Microcosm World was a world temporarily generated by the collision of the myriad demons diagram and the hanba bone staff.
Naturally, it was impossible to set up a trap in advance.
"If you are still worried, then the hanba bone staff can release a special suppression, allowing only Cultivators of the Supreme Seven Realms to enter."
"Of course, if you're not at ease, you also have the myriad demons diagram on your side, which can do the same," the Ba Race Great Emperor said.
Upon hearing this, even some old elders pondered.
It seemed that the Ba Clan truly didn't intend to use any despicable methods.
After all, they also had the myriad demons diagram to hold the fort.
If the Ba Clan truly made any small moves, with the myriad demons diagram present, there would be a guarantee.
Seeing the Three Emperors Barrier side pondering,
the Ba Race Great Emperor sneered, "What, still don't dare? If you want to be a coward, that's fine, but it's merely disappointing."
Upon hearing these words, some Prodigies on the city wall immediately exploded in anger.
"Damn it, how much do they look down on us!"
"Yeah, so what if they're Ba Clan Prodigies? Do they really think we don't have the guts to go up?"
"Let's compete, whoever backs down is a coward!"
Some Prodigies were furious, having been so underestimated by the Ba Clan.
Conversely, those Imperial Clan Prodigies and Three Teachings elites were all deep in thought.
They felt that this matter was not so simple, and perhaps the Ba Clan would indeed send out some truly formidable young individuals.
Those would certainly not be easy to deal with.
Seeing no Prodigies stepping forward,
those old elders also had uncertain expressions.
They had no authority to send these Prodigies into a life-and-death battle.
After all, these Prodigies all had backgrounds and origins.
And just then, a faint voice suddenly sounded.
"Ba Clan, you're thinking too much."
"If you want to fight, then fight! This Young Lord will be the first to accompany you!"
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, tall and elegant, dressed in white, speaking earth-shattering words with a calm tone.
Whoosh!
On the Three Emperors Barrier side, a clamor immediately erupted.
"As expected of the Yun Clan Young Master, daring to be the first!"
"Just ask, is there anyone else with the courage and spirit like Jun Xiaoyao Young Lord!"
"Jun Xiaoyao Young Lord, forever a god!"
Some Prodigies cheered, filled with excitement and exhilaration.
The Ba Clan had arrived, intending to suppress them.
As a result, Jun Xiaoyao spoke, and morale immediately soared.
This was Jun Xiaoyao's current prestige in the Realm Sea!
Among the younger generation, he was the only one!
The Ba Clan's Great Emperor looked at Jun Xiaoyao, his gaze deep, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
On the Ba Clan's side, Jun Xiaoyao was evaluated as one of the Prodigies who would pose the greatest threat to the Black Calamity Race in the future.
"Since that's the case, then the Prodigy battle will commence one month from now."
After the Ba Race Great Emperor finished speaking, his figure retreated.
In the Void Realm, the myriad demons diagram and the hanba bone staff were still entwined, their aftermath rippling through the starry sky.
On the Three Emperors Barrier side, some Prodigies had worry in their eyes.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was a pillar of strength and boosted their morale,
everyone knew that
this Ba Clan Prodigy battle would definitely not be so simple.
Because for the Ba Clan, this was a trial.
However, only Jun Xiaoyao knew that by participating in this Prodigy battle, he might face targeting and encirclement.
But Jun Xiaoyao didn't care.
Now, he had a kind of confidence: he was unrivaled in the Supreme Seven Realms.
Ordinary Chaos Dao Venerables posed no threat to him.
Even if some Prodigies among the Dao Venerables appeared from the Ba Clan,
Jun Xiaoyao was confident he could suppress and kill them.
Therefore, he was the calmest person in the entire place.
An old elder stepped forward and spoke, "Since you've decided to fight, you must not underestimate your opponents."
"The Ba Clan is so confident this time, likely because they have some kind of assurance."
"Perhaps Prodigies from the black calamity bounty list will appear."
"black calamity bounty list?"
Some Prodigies who were new to this place showed confusion in their eyes.
The old elder continued, "The so-called black calamity bounty list compiles a list of exceptionally talented younger individuals within the Black Calamity Race."
"If these Prodigies grow up, they will pose a great threat to the Realm Sea."
"Therefore, a bounty is placed on them. Whoever can kill them will receive a corresponding reward, which is Merits (merit points)."
The old elder's explanation clarified things for everyone.
However, they didn't feel much relief.
Although killing these Prodigies from the black calamity bounty list could earn a lot of merit points,
the problem was, were the Black Calamity Prodigies on the bounty list so easy to deal with?
This, instead, highlighted the danger of this Prodigy battle; it would likely be an extremely cruel confrontation and trial.
And in the entire place, the only one who felt joy upon hearing this news
was Jun Xiaoyao.
"I hope more Prodigies of the bounty list level come this time; don't disappoint me..."
Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
