In the eyes of Xing Yun, Jiang Chen was by no means a match for Ancestor Tortoise. Although rumors circulated that Jiang Chen had defeated Lian Wei, the third-ranked competitor on the Boundless Ranking, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes and thus remained skeptical. He could not bring himself to believe that Jiang Chen—whom he had once viewed as nothing more than an ant—could have grown so powerful in a mere ten thousand epochs.
As Jiang Chen stepped forward, the gaze of every living being present fixed upon him. They all speculated about his background and wondered what gave him the confidence to be the first to enter the fray. While some knew who Jiang Chen was, the vast majority remained ignorant.
Ancestor Tortoise slowly floated up, appearing in the mid-air above the arena. Standing in the void, he locked eyes with Jiang Chen. A grim expression settled on his face, and he said coldly, "Kid, it was my mistake not to kill you last time. I never expected your cultivation realm to advance so quickly. In just ten thousand epochs, you have already entered the Boundless Realm of the Heavenly Extreme Dao."
