Chapter 779: Opponent
Yan Sheng, Wu Meng, Zi Zaitian, and the others were momentarily stunned. "Hmm? He's here?"
Divine Emperor Xi didn't keep them guessing. He stated directly, "The Light of Origin requested to participate in the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War Overlord Competition through the White Emperor of the Sacred Flame Hall.
"But do you know what the Overlord Competition is? It's a battle that determines the fate of our Human Race's fortune in the next era. The candidates are usually chosen and cultivated within the first ten thousand years of a new era.
"Even the slower picks are finalized at least a thousand years before the tournament begins. Many of you here have spent tens of thousands of years preparing for this one battle."
His words struck a chord with many.
Several Tyrants even frowned.
"Absurd," one muttered.

Luo Wuji, who had been preparing for this tournament for forty thousand years, spoke clearly. "Li Pin may be one of the most exceptional talents to emerge in recent centuries, and I don't deny his gift. But as Zi Zaitian mentioned, give him a few tens of thousands of years, and he might stand alongside us in this tournament. But right now... he's simply too young. The Prodigy Competition is where he truly belongs."
Many nodded in agreement.
As for Emperor Ara, he remained absorbed in his game of chess, playing against himself.
To him, from the start to the finish, no one here was truly an opponent. With no one to challenge him, there was no need to divide his focus.
Such intense concentration didn't go unnoticed by the Divine Emperor Xi, who only grew more appreciative. No wonder Emperor Ara was hailed as the trump card in this era's tournament. He is truly worthy of the title Invincible Tyrant.
