The figure that appeared was named Jehovah. Ye Tian had some impression of this person, but at the same time, he was even more confident.
Jehovah exuded extraordinary power. As the waves of his divine faith energy rippled faintly, even at his weakest, Jehovah possessed the strength of a Saint. Furthermore, his power extended far beyond that. The twelve wings behind Jehovah were each imbued with power equivalent to that of an ordinary Saint. Together, these twelve wings allowed him to unleash the power of twelve Saints simultaneously.
It was crucial not to overlook a vital point: Jehovah also had his physical form. His body could exert even greater strength. Combined with the power of his wings, his overall power could surpass that of an ordinary Saint by an unimaginable margin.
However, no matter how formidable Jehovah appeared, his strength had not yet reached the level of a Heavenly Path Saint; he was still confined to the Saint level. Even if he could wield immense Saint-level power, it remained a matter of quantity rather than quality. When quantity fails to transform into quality, he remains a Saint, albeit a particularly potent one.
For Ye Tian, dealing with him might prove somewhat troublesome. It might take a few more moves to kill Jehovah, but Saint-level power posed no threat to Ye Tian at all. Ye Tian's physical body and defensive techniques allowed him to dominate the myriad realms with ease.
When Jehovah, with his formidable strength, made his appearance, the crowd watching from the Primordial World couldn't help but feel anxious.
Guanyin Bodhisattva: "This Saint named Jehovah seems far from simple. Judging from the power radiating from him, he's likely to be extremely difficult to handle!"
Tathagata Bodhisattva: "Even without being a Saint, anyone can see the strength he possesses. While Ye Tian is formidable, facing such a powerful challenger won't be easy!"
Ancestor Minghe: "In this challenge between the two, who will emerge victorious? It's entirely unclear, and making predictions is futile!"
Houtu: "Judging by Jehovah alone, the strength of the myriad realms cannot be underestimated. His power far surpasses that of ordinary Saints, and even in the Primordial World, he could rank among the top three. It seems the Primordial World might not necessarily dominate the myriad realms as much as we'd hoped!"
The appearance of a formidable being from an external realm caused a ripple of doubt among some Saints in the Primordial World. Was Jehovah one of many such powerhouses, or was he the pinnacle of his realm, with others unable to compare?
The answer remained elusive. Jehovah wouldn't reveal it, and the challenge arena didn't permit entry. Thus, there was no way to engage Jehovah in conversation. The only one truly aware of the strength of other realms was Ye Tian. He knew the external realms weren't as frightening as they seemed. Even though Jehovah was undeniably powerful and hailed from a formidable world, his strength wasn't representative of the entirety of the myriad realms.
Laozi: "Though this challenge is arduous, the rewards for victory will undoubtedly be extraordinary!"
Ancestor Hongjun: "Despite the danger of this challenge, it will reveal Ye Tian's true power. His high rankings across various lists suggest he's no slouch. Likely, his strength is comparable to mine. Even against such a powerful Jehovah, he should have a fair chance of winning."
Ancestor Hongjun wasn't overly worried when he saw Jehovah. As a Heavenly Path Saint, he could discern Jehovah's strengths. Jehovah's power and abilities were impressive but not unparalleled. Ye Tian's mastery of physical strength, weaponry, and techniques alone would be more than sufficient to utterly crush him.
If Jehovah wanted to secure victory, his only hope lay in exploiting unorthodox methods. Otherwise, when facing Ye Tian head-on, he stood no chance.
Inside the challenge arena.
Jehovah: "I don't know why I was suddenly brought here, but since you're here, it must be related to you. In that case, let me leave while you remain here forever!"
His tone was slow and heavy, as though he was simply stating an inevitable truth. However, it had no effect on Ye Tian. This ability of Jehovah's was part of his power; whatever he declared would come true. This technique was known as Divine Command.
For ordinary beings or those weaker than Jehovah, this power could be overwhelming, but for Ye Tian, it was mere child's play. It couldn't harm even a single strand of his hair. For origınal chapters go to novel⟡fire.net
Jehovah had already sensed Ye Tian's overwhelming strength. He knew this technique would have no effect on him, but he used it anyway to test Ye Tian. As expected, Ye Tian remained unmoved.
Ye Tian: "Since you know I brought you here, I advise you not to resist needlessly. Let me send you off. After all, you do wish to leave here, don't you?"
Hearing Ye Tian's arrogant tone, Jehovah's anger flared. In his world, he was the undisputed strongest. No one had ever dared to defy his will. Yet today, he was suddenly dragged into the challenge arena and faced with Ye Tian, a figure who infuriated him to no end.
At that moment, an unexpected message entered Jehovah's mind:
"Victory in this challenge will grant a rare and precious treasure!"
This sudden revelation excited him. It was an unanticipated bonus. Based on his deduction, anyone capable of dragging someone of his strength into the challenge arena must possess immense power. Rewards from such a person would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
Jehovah finally understood why Ye Tian had brought him here—it was all for the reward.
Jehovah: "Your dreams have shattered! Today, not only will you fail to leave here, but I will also claim your reward. You'll regret ever bringing me here!"
Ye Tian: "We'll see who regrets it. Where did you get such baseless confidence?"
The tension between the two escalated sharply. The battle could erupt at any moment. Yet Jehovah didn't act recklessly. Instead, he observed Ye Tian cautiously. Despite his arrogant words, he was acutely aware of Ye Tian's formidable strength and dared not underestimate him.
