"Your Excellency," upon hearing this, the beautiful eyes of Venerable Holy Cloud were filled with anger. This Venerable Cold Frost seemed to be deliberately against her, and she couldn't believe that she would dare to cause trouble today. Venerable Holy Cloud was about to take action, thinking that if she didn't give her a lesson, she might think that she was afraid of her.
Xia Yan, who had been watching from the side, finally understood the situation. It seemed that the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace was not very harmonious internally, and it was divided into two major factions.
Moreover, they were in a state of subtle confrontation. However, the foundation of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace was beyond reproach, with six Heavenly Sovereigns as its pillars. No wonder it could become one of the superpowers on the Holy Luo Continent.
"Deputy Palace Master, hold on!"
At this moment, Xia Yan stepped forward to stop Venerable Holy Cloud, who was about to take action. He naturally wouldn't let the two of them fight. However, the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace needed to be reorganized. He, Xia Yan, did not want a disorganized Holy Fire Heavenly Palace.
Seeing Xia Yan stop her, Venerable Holy Cloud's beautiful eyes flickered, and she obediently stepped back. Xia Yan's dark eyes then turned to Venerable Cold Frost.
However, the look in her eyes still carried a hint of provocation, which made Xia Yan's eyes narrow slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you think I'm not qualified to be the Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace?" Xia Yan looked at Venerable Cold Frost with a very calm gaze and asked.
Hearing this, Venerable Cold Frost crossed her arms over her chest, her beautiful eyes staring coldly at Xia Yan without saying a word. The provocative look in her eyes became even more intense, and the answer was obvious.
"Then what qualifications do you think are required to be the Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace?" Seeing Venerable Cold Frost's cold smile, Xia Yan continued to ask.
"Strength is the measure. If you can defeat me, I will acknowledge you as the new Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace!" Venerable Cold Frost said with a cold laugh, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
Hearing this, a faint smile of contempt appeared on Xia Yan's lips. Then, a calm voice slowly drifted out: "If I can't defeat you in one move, I will never mention the position of Palace Master again!"
The calm voice echoed in the sky, gently reverberating in everyone's ears. Though the voice was very calm, it was like a bolt of lightning, shocking everyone present!
At this moment, all the eyes of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace were focused on Xia Yan, who had made such a bold statement, their eyes filled with surprise.
Defeat Venerable Cold Frost in one move?
When everyone came to their senses, they all found it hard to believe. How was this possible?
Although Xia Yan was now a super-strong Heavenly Sovereign, he was only a Spirit Rank Heavenly Sovereign. However, Venerable Cold Frost was also a super-strong Heavenly Sovereign, and she had even reached the Immortal Rank. Though it was just a one-character difference, the gap between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Now, Xia Yan, with his Spirit Rank Heavenly Sovereign strength, wanted to challenge Venerable Cold Frost, an Immortal Rank Heavenly Sovereign, and he said he would do it in just one move?
But no one knew that Xia Yan had not only broken through to Heavenly Sovereign but his physical strength had already reached the Sacred Rank. He was a peak powerhouse among Heavenly Sovereigns. Facing an Immortal Rank Heavenly Sovereign, Xia Yan didn't take her seriously at all. Even if Xia Yan was only at the Spirit Rank, he wouldn't fear Venerable Cold Frost.
The eyes of everyone in the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace were filled with doubt.
Even the three Heavenly Sovereigns, including Venerable Holy Cloud, were shocked. If the three of them worked together, they might be able to defeat Venerable Cold Frost in one move, but for Xia Yan, who had just reached Heavenly Sovereign, to do so was almost impossible.
"Palace Master," Venerable Holy Cloud took a step forward and called out to Xia Yan. She was about to say something but was stopped by Xia Yan, who shook his head with a light smile, signaling her not to interfere.
For some reason, seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Venerable Holy Cloud felt a bit relieved, but there was still a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes. Xia Yan had made his statement, and if he couldn't defeat Venerable Cold Frost in one move, the position of Palace Master would be vacant again.
This was what Venerable Holy Cloud least wanted to see. She was very satisfied with Xia Yan as the Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace. This young man was qualified in every aspect to take on the position!
But Venerable Cold Frost had a completely different view. After all, she was always at odds with Venerable Holy Cloud, and there was nothing she could do about it!
However, why would Xia Yan, who was usually very steady, make such a bold statement? Could he really defeat Venerable Cold Frost in one move?
Venerable Holy Cloud's beautiful eyes flickered, and she stepped back. Since Xia Yan had said so, she didn't want to say more. She and the other two Heavenly Sovereign elders exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. This new Palace Master seemed calm, but he was also a madman!
With their keen eyes, they could see that Xia Yan was doing this to establish his authority. Only by overwhelming Venerable Cold Frost with a powerful move could he secure his position as Palace Master!
In this world, ultimately, it was all about strength!
"Overestimating yourself, utterly ridiculous!"
Hearing this, the two Heavenly Sovereign elders behind Venerable Cold Frost immediately mocked him. They had never seen such a reckless young man. Ignorance is indeed bliss, and this young man probably didn't know the gap between a Spirit Rank and an Immortal Rank Heavenly Sovereign!
"A madman like you is not qualified to be the Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace. Since you've said it, I'll grant your wish. I don't want to bully you, but if you can break my defense in one move, you win!" Venerable Cold Frost said coldly, her voice filled with sarcasm.
"Whatever!" Xia Yan said calmly.
Seeing Xia Yan still so calm, the sarcastic smile on Venerable Cold Frost's lips became even more pronounced. Today, she would make this young man understand the gap between a Spirit Rank and an Immortal Rank!
The next moment, Venerable Cold Frost didn't bother to argue with Xia Yan. She waved her sleeve, and a surging wave of heavenly energy erupted from her body. Behind her, a vast and boundless Heavenly Sovereign Sea appeared.
The Heavenly Sovereign Sea was a domain only super-strong Heavenly Sovereigns could possess. Earthly Sovereigns had the Earthly Sovereign Sea, and those at the Sovereign Realm had the Sovereign Sea.
The Heavenly Sovereign Sea emitted an extremely terrifying pressure, far surpassing the Earthly Sovereign Sea and the Sovereign Sea. The moment it appeared, the countless disciples below trembled, the pressure seeming to crush their bodies.
"Guard of the Star River!"
Venerable Cold Frost let out a low cry. The vast sea of heavenly energy behind her began to compress. In just a few breaths, the vast sea of energy compressed into a tangible Star River. The Star River surged, the vast energy rolling within, as if it could tear apart the heavens and earth, terrifying to the extreme!
Finally, Venerable Cold Frost waved her hand, and the Star River instantly roared up, wrapping around her body, forming an impenetrable defense.
This Star River, formed by the energy of an Immortal Rank Heavenly Sovereign, was unimaginably defensive. A typical Spirit Rank Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't just fail to break it; even touching it would likely cause them to spit blood.
Seeing the Star River enveloping Venerable Cold Frost, everyone was filled with surprise!
At the same time, they felt sympathy for Xia Yan. Such a terrifying defense, Xia Yan would likely fail to break it. It seemed that the position of Master of the Holy Fire Heavenly Palace would be vacant again.
