"Bai Yan, we only addressed you as Brother out of respect, do not overstep your bounds!"

Another Heavenly Pride with a hostile expression glared at Bai Yan, his words laced with murderous intent.

"You call me Brother Bai? Are you even worthy?"

Bai Yan responded with a nonchalant sip of his drink, showing utter disdain.

Even the current Human Emperor is merely his successor, and even the Sect Leaders of Purple Cliff Mountain and Martial Saint Pavilion would respectfully refer to him as Senior Bai.

How could these naturally gifted Heavenly Prides be ever taken seriously by Bai Yan?

At this moment, the monks standing outside the door watching were stunned.

They grew increasingly curious about Bai Yan's identity, wondering what divine being he was, so confident as to dismiss the Heavenly Prides.

This place gathered all the cultivators from the Heavenly Pride List. Even some sects would not dare to confront these Prides head-on.

"Bai Yan, you have slain three of our cultivators on the Heavenly Pride List, don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

Leng Jianghan, having witnessed Bai Yan's prowess, decided not to waste words and directly pressed Bai Yan for an answer.

"Three fools who court death, killed and done, what reason is there to need?"

Bai Yan spoke casually, very nonchalant and unbothered by the whole matter.

"Do you realize that those three Heavenly Prides are our Star Sea Ten Thousand Clans' hope against the Outer Realm Practitioners! Even if it costs your life ten times over, it wouldn't equal the worth of one of them!"

Leng Jianghan shouted righteously at Bai Yan.

"Are those defeated worthy of defending the Endless Star Sea?"

Bai Yan couldn't help but sneer.

If it was not for his first life resisting the invasion of the Outer Realm Practitioners singlehandedly a myriad years ago, the cultivators of the Endless Star Sea would have long become slaves, and there would no longer be any Heavenly Pride List.

"How insolent, Bai Yan! Now that ninety-seven Heavenly Prides are gathered here, even if you possess Heavenly Divine Power, you cannot escape. I advise you to surrender peacefully, or do not blame us for being ruthless!"

With a stern shout from Leng Jianghan, the rest of the Heavenly Prides unsheathed their weapons, glaring ominously at Bai Yan.

The overwhelming aura from the ninety-seven Heavenly Prides was terrifying, causing the stone-built tavern to nearly collapse under the immense pressure, creaking loudly.

The monks gathered outside the tavern were forced to retreat hundreds of meters.

"Finally can't hold back, showing your true colors?"

Bai Yan narrowed his eyes, coldly observing these Heavenly Prides.

"Enough talk, sever your arms and kneel for mercy, I may let you live!"

With pretenses shed, Leng Jianghan's tone shifted dramatically, chillingly harsh towards Bai Yan.

"I heard that thousands of years ago, the Human Emperor Su Yu had suppressed the Talents of Ten Thousand Clans right here, today I'd like to try the same."

With a vicious smile, Bai Yan summoned the Demon Dragon Pattern Longsword, confronting the ninety-seven Heavenly Prides.

"My god, who is this fierce figure that dares to fight against ninety-seven Heavenly Prides alone!"

"A mere legendary-level cultivator wouldn't be able to defeat even one Heavenly Pride, it is plain suicide to challenge ninety-seven!"

...

As the cultivators watched this scene unfold, they couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

These were the Heavenly Prides of the Endless Star Sea, who could even combat Saints.

All cultivators believed Bai Yan was seeking his death.

"How audacious, let me meet you!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, none of the Heavenly Prides could lose face by ganging up, one sword-wielding Pride spoke and then lunged at Bai Yan.

His sword split the space, carving a long fissure through it.

"It's the twenty-fifth ranked sword cultivator on the Heavenly Pride List, Ye Qing!"

"My heavens, it's said that Ye Qing can challenge Saints beyond his Quasi-Saint level. It seems indeed to be true."

…

Many monks gasped in astonishment.

Ye Qing is the only one who entered the path of the sword without relying on the Divine Sword Sect and cultivated to the Quasi-Saint Realm, also becoming the idol of all Loose Cultivators.

"Trying to use a sword before me is truly bringing an axe to the class of the master!"

Bai Yan faced this terrifying sword strike standing firm, without moving an inch.

Only when the longsword was about to pierce his face did Bai Yan calmly parry with his sword.

"Clang~"

A sound of metal clashing rang out, Ye Qing's longsword was swept aside by Bai Yan, whose sword then continued its momentum, slicing across Ye Qing's neck.

"Puchi~!"

The sound of flesh tearing was heard, and everyone saw Ye Qing's body uncontrollably fall to the ground, his head soaring into the sky.

Golden blood splattered spectacularly.

He's dead!

Ranked twenty-fifth on the Heavenly Pride List, the resolute sword cultivator Ye Qing was dead just like that!

Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief, then their faces turned to shock, unable to close their mouths.

Even Saint level fighters couldn't kill a cultivator of the Heavenly Pride List with one sword, his power was indeed terrifying.

"Damn it, how dare you kill in front of me, it seems I can't let you go today!"

Leng Jianghan roared angrily, a long spear wrapped with dragon engravings appearing in his hand.

"Wait!"

Just as Leng Jianghan was about to strike Bai Yan, Bai Yan suddenly stopped him.

"What, you regret it now? It's too late!"

Leng Jianghan looked at Bai Yan, his eyes filled with a killing intent.

Ninety-seven monks witnessed a legendary practitioner kill one of their own, if they couldn't regain their dignity, the Heavenly Pride List would become a joke in the future!

"My meaning is, death does not require queuing, just come at me together."

Bai Yan spoke indifferently.

One man challenging the entire Heavenly Pride List!

Even those numbed by the shock of Bai Yan were incredulous now, even forgetting to breathe.

Throughout history, only one person has been able to dominate the Heavenly Pride List, and that was Emperor Su Yu, who became the top figure of the Endless Star Sea!

"Hmph, do you really think you are Emperor Su? Today we will see what capabilities you have to utter such wild words!"

One monk disdainfully said, and then ninety-six Heavenly Pride cultivators simultaneously made their move toward Bai Yan.

Instantly, a terrifying Divine Radiance enveloped the entire tavern, various weapons charged with intense killing intent surrounded Bai Yan.

"Rumble rumble!"

The tavern built of jade stone couldn't withstand such intense pressure, and directly turned into ruins.

The tavern collapsed, dust settled, Bai Yan ascended into the sky, facing the ninety-six Heavenly Pride cultivators surrounding him, he couldn't help but let out a chilly smile, then gently raised his Demon Dragon Pattern Longsword.

"Slash!"

Leng Jianghan roared angrily, leading the charge towards Bai Yan.

"I am not Emperor Su."

Bai Yan muttered to himself as he faced the encircling Heavenly Pride cultivators.

"But your Emperor Su was also my disciple!"
