I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 469: Paragons Of The Successive Generations!

Chapter 469: Paragons Of The Successive Generations!

After listening to Zhang Yunting’s explanation, Shen Tian’s eyes lit up, and he looked toward the Prodigy Arena with interest. He also wanted to see how talented this generation of paragons was.

Although the invasion of the Evil Spirit race was an era of chaos and disaster, it was also a golden age!

Many exceptional prodigies would appear in this era.

They were born to fight against the calamity and protect the world. They could be said to be protected by the Heavenly Dao itself.

Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or talent, these paragons far surpa.s.sed those of the previous generations.

Moreover, their providence would be extremely high, and they were fully deserving of being Children of Providence!

After all, only those with high luck would be able to obtain fortuitous opportunities and quickly become stronger!

...

A few prodigies were currently fighting in the Prodigy Arena.

Rumbling sounds continuously sounded, resounding endlessly.

Terrifying divine might swept out, its might world-shaking.

Everyone looked over and saw two youths in their 20s sparring.

One of them was the current Sky Tripod Saint. A giant silver cauldron floated above his head, erupting with a tremendous force.

His aura was terrifying to the extreme. His cultivation had already reached the peak of Nascent Soul, and he had even achieved Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage.

To be able to reach the peak of Nascent Soul at such a young age with a Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage cultivation, he could absolutely be called someone with extreme talent.

In the past, only the predecessors of the Sky Tripod Saint could reach this realm.

However, this generation’s Sky Tripod Saint was only 20 years old. For him to have such accomplishments, it was enough to show that he was extremely talented.

This was mainly because the great calamity had descended, causing this world to also sense danger, which was why so many geniuses appeared.

In addition, the various large sacred grounds wanted to create experts as soon as possible and open their cultivation wonderlands to the outside world. They wanted to recruit talented cultivators and nurture them wholeheartedly.

The prodigies of this generation were indeed far more talented and powerful than their predecessors.

However, his opponent was even more terrifying.

It was a man wearing an eight-trigram Daoist robe. His aura was elegant and easy-going. A faint smile appeared on his face, and his aura was extraordinary.

He held an ancient Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s in his hand. His aura was simple and unadorned, but it also emitted a solemn deterrence.

This person stood on the arena and seemed to have fused with heaven and earth, causing others to be unable to capture his figure.

His cultivation was also at the peak of Nascent Soul, but he had reached the peak of Nascent Soul with his Golden Core at the Ninth Refinement Stage. His aura was terrifying to the extreme.

...

The two of them fought crazily, erupting with powerful might.

However, the Sky Tripod Saint had no room to retaliate in that person’s hands.

That person took out the Eight Trigrams Compa.s.s and immediately erupted with a mysterious power that spread throughout heaven and earth.

Strange patterns transformed into a light screen and completely sealed the area.

In an instant, the void started to distort as cracks appeared on it before it shattered.

By the time the light dissipated, the Sky Tripod Saint was already heavily injured and could no longer resist.

On the other hand, the man in the eight-trigram robe had an indifferent expression as if he hadn’t spent any effort at all.

Instantly, the crowd cried out.

“Sima Zhuge is too strong!”

“Not even the Sky Tripod Saint is his match.”

“To be able to set up such a terrifying formation with a wave of his hand, he’s indeed a Formation Grandmaster.”

“Given his strength, he should be ranked at the top of Jixia Academy’s current generation of geniuses!”

Everyone was shocked by the power that Zhuge Sima had displayed.

Shen Tian was also curious. Cultivators who grasped the powers of formations were very rare.

This power was different from Qi Refinement and Body Tempering, where one used their own power and physical strength to resist the opponent’s attacks.

Those who grasped the powers of formations used the power of heaven and earth to coordinate with the array formation, constructing a powerful formation to deal with their opponents.

Those who cultivated this power could instantly set up supreme formations after they grew up.

Formation Grandmasters were extremely useful on the battlefield. They could even fight against 1,000 soldiers by themselves!

Zhang Yunting explained, “This person’s name is Zhuge Sima. He is a top prodigy of the hidden Zhuge clan.

“He possesses the inheritance of the Zhuge clan and Sima clan, two great clans who specialize in the Formation Dao. He’s extremely proficient in the power of formations.

“It’s said that he can set up a great formation in three steps and use the power of his formation to surround and kill his opponent.

“At his peak, he even set up a supreme formation that could kill a Late-Stage Heavenly Venerable!”

A hidden clan was no weaker than a sacred ground. They were even better than sacred grounds in certain aspects as well.

The reclusive clans had been pa.s.sed down since ancient times. They hid in seclusion and did not partic.i.p.ate in external conflicts.

Most of the inheritances in their clan were well preserved, their foundations incomparably deep, and their strength extremely powerful. Thus, the appearance of a hidden clan was a good thing for the cultivators of the five regions. They could fight against the Evil Spirits together.

...

Shen Tian nodded slightly. This calamity targeted the entire five regions, and no one could remain unscathed.

If the hidden clans did not take action, they would not be able to escape death by themselves when all the cultivators of the five regions were exterminated.

However, this Zhuge Sima was truly extraordinary. If it was 100 years ago, he would definitely be considered to be a peak genius.

“Not just the hidden clans, there are also many other sacred grounds that have produced geniuses.”

Qi Shaoxuan walked out with a deep gaze.

His gaze s.h.i.+fted as he looked at another area on the arena and said, “Brother Shen, look!”

Shen Tian looked in another direction.

There were Dao patterns that rushed into the heavens, swirling about densely. Two prodigies were currently fighting.

One of them had a robust figure and an imposing aura.

Behind him, a 10,000-foot-long giant Peng appeared, its might vast and immeasurable, as if it could swallow the world.

Clearly, this was a paragon of the Great Void Kun race. He was using the Kun race’s supreme Kun Peng arts.

This person only had an early Heavenly Venerable cultivation, but his strength was already terrifying to the extreme.

His opponent was a late-stage Heavenly Venerable prodigy.

However, in the hands of this person, the geniuses of the older generation had no way to retaliate.

He used the unmatched technique to turn the Kun Peng into a Peng, releasing endless divine light and devouring the endless void.

In an instant, his opponent was defeated and retreated with blood spurting out of his mouth.

This scene shocked countless people.

...

Qi Shaoxuan said indifferently, “This person is Kun Pengzi. He is the son of Kun Ming, the clan leader of the Kun race in the North Sea.

“He successfully turned into a Peng at the age of 35, and his Kun Peng arts are considered unmatched under the heavens.

“His combat strength is extremely formidable. With an early Heavenly Venerable cultivation, he can even fight a peak Heavenly Venerable.”

Shen Tian nodded. He had grasped the Kun Peng Dao and naturally understood it.

For Kun Pengzi to successfully transform into a Peng at the age of 35 and moreover cultivate the Kun Peng arts to an extremely deep level, his talent could be said to be extremely extraordinary.

...

Next, everyone s.h.i.+fted their gaze to another battle.

Divine flames were raging there, looking incomparably dazzling.

Blazing flames soared into the sky, burning the sky into nothingness.

The entire region was engulfed in endless flames. The power was vast and mighty, as resplendent as the sun, illuminating the nine heavens.

Under the flickering flames, one could vaguely see ten figures controlling endless divine flames to fight against dozens of geniuses.

Shen Tian was astonished.

This was because he discovered that the flame was also the True Sun Fire.

Although its purity was inferior to his own, its might was still terrifying to the extreme, able to incinerate a Heavenly Venerable.

Qi Shaoxuan introduced again. “These ten are the top ten paragons of the Divine Flame Crimson Crow race from Southern Border. Their combat strength is unparalleled.

“This race is a descendant of the Golden Crow, possessing a portion of the Golden Crow bloodline.

“Those from the Divine Flame Crimson Crow race are experts at playing with fire. They can control all kinds of flame power.

“These ten geniuses of the Divine Flame Crimson Crow race are flame paragons. They could control the True Sun Fire from birth.

“Therefore, they are also known as the Ten Great Golden Crows.

“There are even rumors that they’re the reincarnations of the ancient Golden Crow Thearch and his nine children.”

Shen Tian carefully looked over, and his lips twitched.

He finally saw the ten Great Golden Crows’ appearances through the endless flames.

They had similar appearances. All of them had golden hair and golden eyes, and their bodies were surging with True Sun Fire. Their auras were extremely terrifying.

The person in the lead had an imposing figure and a surging aura. He was slightly stronger than the other brothers.

The others had similar auras.

Only the last person looked dispirited and seemed to be malnourished.

Shen Tian’s lips twitched upon seeing this.

How was this a rumor? This was simply the reincarnation of the Golden Crow Thearch and his nine sons!

Especially that last brat, he was exactly the same as the tenth underdeveloped Golden Crow!

...

After everyone explained, Shen Tian roughly understood the current situation.

Basically, every major power had produced a paragon. They were all extremely talented individuals.

For example, the mysterious Dragon Phoenix Maiden of North Sea, Ao Xue, possessed both the bloodline of the Dragon and Phoenix race.

She had been born with the Dao inscriptions of fire, water, and yin. She could control both the ice and fire elements.

She had cultivated the True Dragon Sutra to perfection at a young age.

She broke through the Mighty Prowess realm at the age of 21, so she was absolutely one of the top powerhouses of her generation.

There were also many powerful prodigies from Middle Ground. The most prominent one was s.h.i.+ Tianzi’s personal disciple, Jade In Stone.

He cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra and the Huang s.h.i.+ Imperial Sutra. At the age of 32, his cultivation had already reached the Soul Formation stage.

Just a Heavenly Divine Fist of his allowed him to reign invincible among the younger generation.

This person had once torn apart a True Sage with his bare hands as a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable. He had the t.i.tle of the Second Heavenly Son.

...

But in the end, everyone focused their attention on an area.

There were also two geniuses there sparring.

One of them had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His eyes were bright, and his body was tall and straight.

He carried a three-foot-long sword on his back. His aura was awe-inspiring. And his sword intent soared into the sky.

His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall as he wore the Divine Firmament Saint’s clothes. His body exuded a transcendent and untainted aura.

This person was surrounded by dazzling and flickering lightning. His aura was extremely terrifying.

Opposite him was a young man in a crimson flame robe. Six blazing suns rose behind him, giving him a mighty aura.

These two people were the current Saints of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Nine Sun Sacred Ground.

Due to the sacred grounds’ tradition of having a new Saint every 100 years, Shen Tian had automatically been replaced by a new Saint.

Upon seeing that it was the Divine Firmament Saint having a fight with the Nine Sun Saint, everyone perked up.

The Divine Firmament Saint and the Nine Sun Saint exchanged looks. Without any superfluous words, they engaged in battle once again.

In that instant, endless divine light shot out of the Prodigy Arena, triggering a heaven-shaking explosion.

Rumbling sounds could be heard as flames soared into the sky!

Endless lightning and blazing flames intertwined and exploded, causing countless cracks to appear in the surrounding s.p.a.ce as if it would shatter at any moment.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

They could see the cultivation levels of the two opponents. They were both peak Nascent Souls who had achieved the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage.

However, the power that they unleashed was comparable to a Mid-Stage Heavenly Venerable.

To have such achievements at this age was extremely extraordinary.

If it was 100 years ago, given their talent and strength, even the paragons of the older generation would not be their match.

...

The crowd continued to observe, only to see that the battle had undergone a transformation.

The Divine Firmament Saint’s aura suddenly changed, becoming extremely mighty. Lightning flashed around him as though he had fused with lightning.

At that moment, he was like a supreme G.o.d that controlled the lightning tribulation, intending to annihilate all living beings.

With a wave of his hand, the Divine Firmament Saint stirred the endless Chaotic Mixed Divine Lightning, cleansing the world with divine light. It emitted a terrifying might!

The arena was instantly covered in dazzling lightning!

Terrifying divine might surged without end, and it emanated an aura that caused one’s heart to palpitate. It seemed as if it intended to tear the heavens and the earth apart.

By the time the lightning dissipated, the Nine Sun Saint was already convulsing on the ground.

His entire body was charred black by the lightning, and white smoke was coming out of his mouth.

Shen Tian raised his brows in surprise.

He could tell that the Divine Firmament Saint’s technique came from the forbidden chapter of the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra—Decalamity.

To be able to comprehend the Lightning Imperial Sutra to such an extent at his age, his talent was extraordinary.

Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “This person is the current Divine Firmament Saint. This generation’s Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has a total of ten extremely talented elites. This boy is the strongest. He can fight a Late-Stage Heavenly Venerable!”

Shen Tian was even more surprised.

Before he joined the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, only Zhang Yunxi, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunting could be considered top elites.

Back then, they had only achieved the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, yet their names had already resounded throughout Eastern Wilderness, their strength reaching the top of the Golden Core List.

However, the current Divine Firmament Saint had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and had cultivated till the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!

From the looks of it, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had been developing rapidly during this period. It had recruited elites from all over the world, and more and more geniuses were emerging!

As if reading Shen Tian’s thoughts, Zhang Yunting smiled and said, “This is all thanks to the inheritances you brought back.

“Junior Brother, not only did you find the supreme inheritance of our sacred ground, Decalamity, but you also brought back many other imperial sutras.

“Furthermore, with a cultivation wonderland like the G.o.d of War PaG.o.da, it could help improve the disciples’ battle prowess at a very fast pace.

“In addition, Junior Brother Yundi created a series of Thunder Explosion Talismans and mecha production lines for the sacred ground. The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s heritage has rapidly expanded.

“Now, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has become the most popular choice of disciples in Eastern Wilderness.

“Thus, the source of their livelihoods is many times better than before. Furthermore, many people with exceptional talent have appeared.”

Zhang Yunting sighed.

If not for his Junior Brother, how could the sacred ground have developed so quickly?

Junior Brother Shen Tian was truly worthy of being the Son of Providence, one who was able to lead the sacred ground to its peak.

...

Zhang Yunting continued to explain. “These little fellows are all abnormally talented!

“For example, each of our ten Divine Firmament lads is extremely impressive. They have all cultivated the Divine Firmament Lightning Imperial Sutra to an unfathomable level. Furthermore, they have all mastered Decalamity and grasped the Mixed Divine Lightning.

“Their strength can easily crush paragons of the same level!

“If the ten of them worked together to set up the Yin-Yang Five Elemental Thunder Array, they would be able to sweep through hundreds of paragons of the same level.”

Zhang Yunting shook his head and smiled bitterly. If they had not consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill before, improving their physique and talent, they would be no match for these kids.

Truly, the new generation surpa.s.ses the old, and the young will sometimes surpa.s.s the old!
