However, some forces could understand Little Western Heaven's cautious approach.
After all, the Jun Family was accustomed to being overbearing, and now with the even more overbearing Jun Emperor Court added to the mix.
With the alliance of these two major forces, even Little Western Heaven had to bow its head and concede.
What made Little Western Heaven breathe a sigh of relief was that the Jun Family did not come to trouble them.
It wasn't that the Jun Family didn't dare to provoke them, but rather that Little Western Heaven truly wasn't so despicable as to secretly plot against Jun Xiaoyao.
Since there was no threat to Jun Xiaoyao, the Jun Family naturally didn't bother to act.
However, this incident clearly made people realize something.
The Jun Family, cannot be provoked.
Jun Xiaoyao, even more so!
The commotion in Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain lasted for a while, then quieted down.
The demise of an Ancient Starfield was merely a topic of conversation for the Immortal Forces of Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain after meals.
However, on the Emperor Road, the commotion still hadn't ceased.
Deep within the Eighteenth Pass of the Emperor Road, the opening of the Desolate Heaven Battlefield undoubtedly stirred up a storm.
Prodigies, one after another, brimming with ambition, stepped into the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, wishing to seize the destiny of an era.
The Jun Family's Jun Moxiao, Jun Lingcang, and other sequences.
The Jiang Family's Jiang Shengyi, Jiang Luoli, and others.
The Ji Family's Ji Qingyi, and others.
Also, Yan Rumeng of the Demon God Palace.
Little Devil Fairy of the Demon Immortal Sect.
And Dragon Void Phoenix, Huang Jiuyan, and the Crocodile Ancestor's successor.
As well as Yi Yu, Yan Qingying, Princess Longji, and others who had made a name for themselves on the Emperor Road, all were preparing to enter the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.
Additionally, many Prodigies from various Ancient Starfields were also preparing to enter.
Deep within the Eighteenth Pass of the Emperor Road.
Above an immeasurable Peak that soared into the stars.
A cold-faced figure in black stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant, deep starry sky.
He carried a blood-stained sword on his back, and the biting Sword Qi from it caused the surrounding stars to tremble, as if they were about to fall.
In the distance, the gazes of some Prodigies were constantly focused on this side.
This black-clad young man was none other than Ye Guchen, the Reincarnation of the Ye Family Sword Demon, currently ranked first on the desolate heaven saint ranking.
"Jun Xiaoyao, not only are you not dead, but you've also grown stronger. Even Hell Star 19th Layer probably can't trap you," Ye Guchen said calmly.
Jun Xiaoyao, this was a name that, when mentioned, would involuntarily evoke a sense of awe.
But when spoken by Ye Guchen, his eyes held only Battle Intent, devoid of any other emotion.
Previously, in Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, Ye Guchen had said that Kings do not meet Kings.
But now, King and King, will eventually meet!
"In my hand, there is only a three-foot sword, looking around, I am unrivaled. I Cultivate again in Reincarnation, seeking a single defeat!"
As Ye Guchen's voice fell, the Emperor Slaying Sword on his back erupted with a monstrous Sword Qi, directly slicing down numerous stars suspended in the starry sky!
"Jun Xiaoyao, if you emerge, a battle at the Heavenly Dao Arena at the end of the Desolate Heaven Battlefield!"
With that declaration, countless stars in the starry sky shattered simultaneously, as if signaling the prelude to this Peak showdown.
"Ye Guchen is challenging Jun Xiaoyao?"
"Interesting, too interesting! This will be the ultimate Prodigy battle of this Emperor Road!"
In the distance, many Prodigies who were paying attention to Ye Guchen showed excitement in their eyes.
One of these two was the Reincarnation of an Ancient Sword Demon, who had severed his past, reshaped his true self, and quickly claimed the top spot on the desolate heaven saint ranking soon after embarking on the Emperor Road.
The other was the Jun Family Divine Child, who had never been defeated since his birth, known as the Unrivaled Saint, and the foremost among the younger generation in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
If these two were to engage in a battle, it would undoubtedly be the most dazzling battle on the entire Emperor Road!
"Oh no, I have to go place my bets! Who do you bet will win?"
"Don't be in such a hurry! The Jun Family Divine Child might not even be able to get out of Hell Star 19th Layer."
"But no matter what, if the Jun Family Divine Child comes out, he will definitely accept the challenge. Then it will be a sight to behold."
"This will be a battle to contend for the Emperor Road King!"
It could be said that Ye Guchen's challenge ignited the atmosphere of the entire Emperor Road.
Amidst this fervent excitement, the Desolate Heaven Battlefield finally opened.
It was an ancient and vast battlefield, located at the end of the Eighteenth Pass of the Emperor Road in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.
Within this vast ancient battlefield, there were Supreme treasures, quasi-Emperor Opportunities, Immortal Gold, Undying Medicine, Immortal Marrow mineral veins, and all sorts of tempting treasures and Opportunities.
Of course, there was also the most coveted item by all Prodigies: the Dao Certification Mark!
There was more than one Dao Certification Mark.
Typically, it was already extraordinary for a Prodigy to obtain one Dao Certification Mark.
But some extremely monstrous Prodigies could even obtain two or three.
Such existences were absolutely top-tier Prodigies, even on the Ultimate Ancient Road.
With their hearts filled with the yearning for Dao Certification, many Prodigies stepped into the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.
That was destined to be a blood-stained battlefield.
Of course, some Prodigies were also waiting for Jun Xiaoyao to appear, such as the Golden Winged Little Peng King, Mu Yuehan, and Kong Xuan. They did not go to the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, but were waiting for Jun Xiaoyao.
Another year passed in this waiting.
In the blink of an eye, three or four years had already passed since the Emperor Road opened.
Most of the Prodigies who embarked on the Emperor Road had perished.
A small number had their will eroded and remained in the city passes along the way, or left dejectedly.
The remaining Prodigies who could enter the Desolate Heaven Battlefield were all exceptional individuals.
Their talent, strength, and Heart-Nature were all flawless.
And only these Prodigies were qualified to embark on the Ultimate Ancient Road and contend with Prodigies from other Immortal Domains.
Within this year, many pieces of news also spread from within the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.
For example, Dragon Void Phoenix, who possessed the Dragon Phoenix Body, obtained an Opportunity within the Desolate Heaven Battlefield and surprisingly Cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi, shocking the entire battlefield.
He even clashed with Princess Longji, an Ancient Freak from the Azure Dragon lineage of the former Ancestral Dragon Nest, and ultimately injured her.
There was also Huang Jiuyan, an Ancient Freak from Myriad Phoenix Spirit Mountain; some said his Phoenix Nirvana Rebirth Art had already undergone Nirvana eight times.
Once he completed his final ninth Nirvana, he would be able to trace his origins and possess a pure Bloodline comparable to that of ancient Phoenix empresses.
And the Crocodile Ancestor's successor, incredibly fierce, devoured more than one minor Giant.
What puzzled some people was that Ye Guchen, ranked first on the desolate heaven saint ranking, had no major battle achievements reported.
That was because no one dared to casually contend with him anymore.
With no one daring to contend, Ye Guchen naturally had no astonishing battle achievements.
But wasn't that the most astonishing achievement of all?
Besides these individuals, the deeds of many other Prodigies were also spreading.
Recently, the most eye-catching news was about the Jiang Family Goddess, Jiang Shengyi.
There were rumors that Jiang Shengyi had possibly found a fairy embryo in a certain ancient ruin within the Desolate Heaven Battlefield.
This undoubtedly ignited the entire Desolate Heaven Battlefield.
A fairy embryo, it was rumored, was an energy source left behind by a remnant immortal.
Previously, in the Immortal Ancient World, Jun Xiaoyao obtaining a drop of remnant immortal blood had already attracted much covetousness.
How much more so for a fairy embryo?
The emergence of the fairy embryo undoubtedly drove all Prodigies into a frenzy.
"That could be energy left behind by a remnant immortal! If obtained, it could at least allow one to Cultivate one strand of Immortal Qi!"
"More than one strand, I think! I believe it could at least allow one to Cultivate two strands of Immortal Qi!"
In the Desolate Heaven Battlefield, all Prodigies were red-eyed and eager.
For a time, the Jiang Family Goddess, Jiang Shengyi, was pushed to the forefront of the storm.
There were rumors that some minor Giants had already begun to secretly unite, preparing to seize the fairy embryo!
