Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect now wore smiles on their faces, barely holding back their laughter.
They had long heard of a supreme terror on the Giant Sword who could communicate with the cosmic will, and now they saw it was indeed so.
There were no more than a handful of people in the entire Endless Star who could make a supreme being eat humble pie.
"You dare to humiliate me! You will not be spared today!"
Bai Yan, infuriated, his face a mix of red and white, charged at Bai Yan on the arena, dragging his long blade behind him.
"So this is all the Frenzy Blade Sect amounts to, a supreme being bullying a legendary Monk in front of a crowd."
Just then, a Sword Rampage cut off Ba Dao's path, with Li Qingxuan stepping in front of him.
Regardless of Bai Yan's identity or the fact that Bai Yan had made Ba Dao lose face, Li Qingxuan would not let Ba Dao harm Bai Yan.
"Hmph, a mere legendary Monk dares to insult a supreme being in public, death is not a wrongful end!"
Another supreme powerhouse coldly huffed.
"It's clear that Ba Dao used his strength to humiliate our Divine Sword Sect's Disciple first."
Li Qingxuan boldly retorted without backing down.
"Wait, are you saying this person is a disciple of your Divine Sword Sect?"
Ba Dao's anger dissipated in an instant, replaced by a strange smile on his face.
"This..."
Li Qingxuan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Bai Yan, not daring to make decisions rashly, for if he displeased Bai Yan, the Divine Sword Sect would be finished.
"That's right, I am of the Divine Sword Sect."
Bai Yan stood tall and fearless.
According to seniority, Bai Yan indeed belonged to the Divine Sword Sect, not as a Disciple, but as an Ancestral Master!
For the founder of the Divine Sword Sect had acquired his inheritance and was, in theory, still his Disciple.
"Well then, since the Divine Sword Sect continues to send Disciples to the stage, I'll raise the bet to ten Resource Stars."
Ba Dao, knowing Bai Yan was a legendary Monk, thought Bai Yan was just a Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and now had a conspiratorial smile on his face.
"Ten Resource Stars? What do you mean?"
Bai Yan asked, puzzled.
Li Qingxuan quickly explained the matter of the Hundred Sects competition through a telepathic message to Bai Yan.
"The Hundred Sects competition, betting planets?"
Bai Yan suddenly smiled at Yu Tianrou, asking, "You are my opponent, yes?"
He had been worried about not having a Star Domain as a gift, and now someone was practically delivering one to his doorstep.
"That's right, if you concede now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, with your legendary strength, you are no match for me."
Yu Tianrou said disdainfully.
"Ten planets are too few, it's not interesting, just a waste of time."
Bai Yan displayed an indifferent attitude, waving his hand.
"Oh, then you name the stakes, Frenzy Blade Sect will accompany to the end."
Ba Dao was initially worried that his bet was too large and would scare Li Qingxuan away, but now he didn't expect Divine Sword Sect to walk right into it.
One side was a Quasi-Saint Early Stage Heavenly Pride, the other a common legendary Monk, it looked like a sure win for Frenzy Blade Sect.
"Senior Bai."
Li Qingxuan hesitantly looked at Bai Yan.
If it wasn't for Bai Yan's intervention, he wouldn't have accepted this bet.
Including the ten Resource Stars they had just lost, this made it twenty Resource Stars at stake—that was half the fortune of the Divine Sword Sect.
If they lost, the Divine Sword Sect would undoubtedly be severely weakened, and might even decline as a result.
Bai Yan gave Li Qingxuan a reassuring look, then slowly said to Ba Dao, "How about we bet the entire Star Domain, including the planet that the Divine Sword Sect inhabits?"
"My God, this is too insane."
"If they lose, it's not only the Sect that is lost, it's almost like extermination."
"Where did this kid come from, to be talking so big?"
...
The rest of the Sect Masters were shocked by Bai Yan's words.
This was essentially gambling with everything they owned; if they lost, their entire sect would be rendered homeless and wouldn't take long to thoroughly fall into decline.
"Are you looking down on me, Yu Tianrou?"
Yu Tianrou glared at Bai Yan with a sinister look in his eyes.
Upon learning that Bai Yan was his opponent, he dared to bet an entire Star Domain, which was a clear sign of contempt for him.
"Humph, spouting nonsense. Even Li Qingxuan wouldn't dare to gamble with me in such a manner."
Sovereign Ba Dao was first shocked, then angrily spoke, thinking that Bai Yan was mocking him.
"Enough talk, are you gambling or not? If not, I'll go back to rest."
Bai Yan said impatiently.
"Who do you think you are, a mere disciple daring to promise such a huge gamble."
At this point, Sovereign Ba Dao was still unable to figure out Bai Yan's intention and did not dare to gamble his entire fortune.
"His words represent the will of our Divine Sword Sect. As the Sect Master, I, Li Qingxuan, bet the entire Divine Sword Star Domain against you. Do you dare take the bet!"
Li Qingxuan was domineering at this moment, and even the Divine Sword Sect's elders did not dare to object.
They had witnessed Bai Yan conversing with the cosmic will; relying on this alone, they did not dare to speak against it.
Otherwise, if the cosmic will became enraged, the entire Divine Sword Star Domain would face catastrophe.
Li Qingxuan's actions stemmed from his trust in Bai Yan. He believed that as the reincarnation of that terrifyingly powerful being, Bai Yan was not someone these Heavenly Prides could compare to.
"Hahaha, interesting. The Hundred Sects competition has been held hundreds of times, and this is the first time such a huge bet has been made."
"Mr. Li is truly a hero among men; such breadth of spirit commands our admiration."
"I'm starting to admire you, Li Sect Master."
...
The other Sect Masters also began to heckle from the sidelines.
These sects occupied a hundred Star Domains; the fewer sects, the less competition they faced.
"You!"
Sovereign Ba Dao had not expected Li Qingxuan to truly dare to take the bet, and his momentum was instantly suppressed.
"Sovereign Ba Dao, I am also staking my life on this bet!"
Yu Tianrou said to Sovereign Ba Dao.
Bai Yan's words had thoroughly enraged him, and he wanted to show everyone the might of a Heavenly Pride!
"Fine, my Frenzy Blade Sect will take the gambit with Divine Sword Sect!"
Seeing Yu Tianrou's confidence, even daring to stake his life, Sovereign Ba Dao then readily agreed to the bet.
If Sovereign Ba Dao refused to fight, all previous efforts would go to waste, and even though he had already won ten Resource Stars from the Divine Sword Sect, Frenzy Blade Sect would still be branded as 'unable to accept loss.'
At this moment, all monks' eyes turned towards the Arena high above.
This battle was about the fate of two sects.
Victor, the sect prospers!
Loser, the sect perishes!
"The competition begins!"
A hundred Sect Masters gathered around the Arena, wanting to witness this epochal battle.
Facing a Quasi-Saint Level Heavenly Pride, Bai Yan did not merge any powers.
Because after comprehending the legacy left by his past life, he had directly advanced to the peak of the legendary realm; even facing a Quasi-Saint was within his fighting capacity.
"I don't intend to bully you, so I will let you make three moves first, how about it?"
The fight hadn't even started, and Bai Yan stood there with hands behind his back, speaking to Yu Tianrou indifferently.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Bai Yan himself was a Great Realm lower than Yu Tianrou, and now he was voluntarily letting Yu Tianrou make three moves...
That was rather domineering.
