A voice that contained the might of heaven and earth sounded. Only Star Platform experts could hear it.

The Great Xia Dynasty’s Great Ancestor raised his eyes and frowned slightly. He did not expect that this strongest prodigy who had risen in Jizhou would actually take the initiative to challenge him. Even if he had reached the second level of the Star Platform, he should know the difference between people of the same level.

“Youth knows less fear!” He sighed and got up slowly.

The other three Imperial Star Platforms appeared, their faces revealing worry.

“Ancestor, ever since this Shen reached the Star Platform, he has never lost. Every time he attacks, he fights to the death. If you accept the challenge, what if…?”

He was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by the Great Xia Dynasty’s ancestor. “Why? Do you think I’ll die? Hmph. Sleeping in the Black Abyss for so many years doesn’t mean I haven’t improved at all. The three of you protect the Imperial Dynasty. I’ll meet this strongest prodigy.”

However, in the end, he still said, “If anything happens to me, the royal family will retreat to the sea area or submit to Jizhou.”

“Yes, Ancestor.”

In the sky above the vast sea of the Eastern Sea, two figures appeared. They were Shen Ping and Ancestor Ji, who had come from the Imperial City.

“Shen Ping, you must be a descender from beyond the heavens.”

The first thing Ancestor Ji said was Shen Ping’s background.

Shen Ping looked surprised. “Ancestor Ji, what do you mean?”

Ancestor Ji laughed and said, “Your rise is too fast. Throughout the dynasties, even in the ancient times, there hasn’t been a genius like you who has reached such a level in less than 200 years. If you were alone, you might be said to be a person with great luck. However, most of the children born at the same time as you are talented. This isn’t a coincidence.”

Shen Ping did not explain. Instead, he said, “Can’t I be a prodigy who appeared in the Great Battle Era?”

“There have always been great battles and overwhelming prodigies, but no matter what era it is, there have never been so many prodigies.” Ancestor Ji shook his head. “Shen Ping, it doesn’t matter if you admit it or not. I’m just curious.”

Shen Ping’s lips twitched. He did not believe that Ancestor Ji was asking casually. There must be some secret he did not know. “Alright, cut the crap, Ancestor Ji. Ever since I was born, I’ve heard of your legend. Today, I broke through to the second level of the Star Platform and specially came to ask for guidance!”

The sea below the two of them suddenly rolled. In the blink of an eye, waves thousands of meters tall were raised. As these waves spun, they condensed into water-element spears. Every spear contained the power of the water-element world.

When Ancestor Ji saw this, his expression did not change at all. He floated in the air and did not do anything. When water-element spears that were hundreds of meters wide shot over like arrows, the might of heaven and earth on his body suddenly burst forth. Soon after, a majestic city wall that was ten thousand miles tall condensed in front of him, as tall and heavy as the Imperial City.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spears collided with the city wall, causing layers of water to splash. However, the city wall was as stable as Mount Tai.

The surging seawater rolled again. This time, it did not condense a spear. Instead, it formed a tsunami that swept towards the city wall. The moment the waves hit the city wall, green vines suddenly appeared in the tsunami. They were like creepers that instantly crawled all over the city wall and stuck their roots inside.

The next moment, the tide broke through the city wall. Seeing this scene, Ancestor Ji’s expression changed slightly. He stared at Shen Ping and said, “Water and wood attributes. You’re really surprising!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed forward. The collapsed city wall gathered again at a visible speed, but it condensed into twelve golden cauldrons that easily blocked the attacks of the tide and vines with a suppressive force.

Clearly, Ancestor Ji also had many bloodlines.

Shen Ping was not surprised. To be able to defeat other experts of the same level a thousand years ago and establish a powerful Great Xia Dynasty, it was naturally impossible for Ancestor Ji to have only one bloodline. As long as he reached the second level of the Star Platform, he would think of a way to increase his new bloodline.

“Great Ancestor Ji, you have good methods!”

He praised him.

The tide and vines quickly disappeared. Immediately after, balls of flames appeared in the sky and smashed towards the twelve golden cauldrons like heavenly fire. The surging heavenly fire instantly melted the twelve golden cauldrons.

It was also the power of heaven and earth on the second level of the Star Platform. The fire-element bloodline countered the metal-element. Even if Ancestor Ji’s use and comprehension of the power of heaven and earth were stronger than Shen Ping’s, he still could not block it.

“Water, wood, fire… As expected of a descender from beyond the heavens! I want to see how much bloodline you can use!”

The bloodline star energy in Ancestor Ji’s body erupted, and the waves that had just subsided surged again. He also had a water-element bloodline.

“Ancestor Ji, let’s see if my golden cauldron can suppress your water element!” Shen Ping followed suit and also activated the star energy of the metal-element bloodline. It quickly condensed into twelve golden cauldrons to suppress the waves.

Ancestor Ji’s expression was dark. Four bloodlines truly shocked him. One had to know that every additional bloodline meant that one had to spend several times more time cultivating and improving. The other party had four bloodlines, yet he could actually break through to the second level of the Star Platform in such a short period of time. It was simply inconceivable.

He had slept in the Black Abyss for nearly a thousand years before barely condensing the other two bloodlines.

“Humph, so what if you have four elements!”
