Chapter 781: Direct
Divine Martial Emperor chuckled, his tone mild and tactful. "The Light of Origin.... His personality is rather... straightforward, isn't it?"
Mo Xuan responded somewhat awkwardly, "That's just the way he is. After all, he's only been cultivating for a little over two hundred years. Even among the prodigies of his time, he's still very much a youngster."
"Youth should be bold," Divine Martial Emperor agreed with a nod. "I'm optimistic about him. I look forward to seeing what he'll do next."

The moment Li Pin spoke the words "beat me," even Emperor Ara, who had been calmly sipping his tea, paused for a moment.
Then, as if struck by a memory, a faint, nostalgic smile crossed his face.
In that young man, he saw a reflection of his former self—racing beneath the sunset in his younger years. That was the youth he had long since left behind.
But with time, as his power and position grew, Emperor Ara no longer needed to prove his worth with words or futile displays. His name alone was enough to speak for his identity and status.
Zi Zaitian slowly rose into the air. "How outrageously arrogant..."
The Divine Martial Emperor responded with a casual wave of his hand. Ripples spread through the air, activating an ancient formation within the Divine Martial Emperor Palace. Rays of radiant light surged into the heavens, and their shockwaves rippled far into the distance.
Any Astral God who had spent years in the Myriad Astral God Hall would recognize the nature of this pulse. It was more than a simple defense mechanism, it was a warning.
A message to all who passed through: A great battle is about to unfold here. Do not enter lightly.
