Xi looked at Chu and sighed.
In every era, there would be geniuses rising among the human race.
However, most of them were short-lived.
The ten ancestors of the human race were not the strongest.
It was just that their luck was stronger, and they had more tricks up their sleeves, which allowed them to survive.
In the past, there were people who surpassed them in terms of talent, cultivation and combat strength. However, they all ended up short-lived like fireworks.
The human race had never lacked geniuses. What they lacked were experts strong enough to protect the growth of the prodigies of the younger generation.
How many young geniuses of the human race had Chu and the other ancestors protected?
In the end, how many people had managed to develop and grow stronger?
Only those lucky and fated ones had managed to do so.
This was why the human race was in a constant cycle of ups and downs.
This continued until Yang's generation, when the Great Dao calamity expelled the other races from the nine zones.
Without the suppression of the other races, the human race gradually rose to power and became the overlord of the nine zones.
How difficult had the human race's journey been until then?
Chu watched the battle in silence.
He had asked himself more than once that if he had the power of the three ancestors, would the human race have had such a difficult time?
There would definitely be a large number of human geniuses that would suppress the geniuses of the other races.
This was why the experts of the various races were apprehensive about the human race, and why they agreed to join forces to suppress the human race.
Now, as the overlord of the Divine World, the experts wondered just how many experts like Ding Yue existed within the human race.
In the chaotic years to come, if the human race was not suppressed, they would definitely become the number one race.
Many people were shooting glances at the demon ancestor secretly.
Back then, the demon race had been the most ruthless and proactive when it came to suppressing the human race. Therefore, the demon ancestor's stance was key to the success of any efforts to suppress the human race.
Otherwise, the other races might not be able to succeed.
Because of Xi, the celestial race had already wavered.
The immortal race remained silent.
The dragons and fiery phoenixes had no intention of continuing to target the human race.
As for the monsters, even though the monster ancestor had returned, he probably did not have such intentions.
Of course, if the experts truly felt threatened by the human race, they might suppress and restrict the human race, but without a vanguard, they would not join forces to deal with the human race.
After all, the human race was still very good at dividing the various forces.
Moreover, up until now, there had been no experts at the level of the three ancestors from the human race.
Their strongest expert was Qin, who did not pose a threat.
Ding Yue might be monstrously talented, but whether he managed to transcend the World Creator realm was uncertain.
Even if he did, it did not mean that he would be on par with the three ancestors.
Thus, while it was undeniable that the human race had already surpassed most of the powerful races, they were still lacking in comparison to the top races of the chaos.
In the Heavenly Dao Arena, the battle continued.
Ding Yue kept changing his attacks, and the power of his attacks was getting stronger and stronger. His sword intent overflowed, and his strength was continuously rising.
Even so, Ancient God Qing Hong remained unperturbed and responded with similar attacks.
He even opened his mouth to attack Ding Yue.
"Human brat, you must know that there the chaos is endless and there are countless geniuses."
"You might be a genius in this world, but in the expanse of the chaos, you're only above average."
"We Ancient Chaos Gods stand at the top of the chaos. Do you see now how your arrogance is misplaced?"
Ancient God Qing Hong had been at ease the entire time, and he was not finding it difficult to deal with Ding Yue.
"You humans are nothing in the chaos. You should restrain your arrogance and not be too arrogant. Only when you have transcended the World Creator realm will you be qualified to see the glory of the experts of the chaos."
"The current you is actually no different from an ant."
"My avatar's strength is weaker than yours, but if I wanted to kill you with it, it wouldn't be difficult."
Ancient God Qing Hong was in a very good mood as he chattered on and on, constantly belittling and attacking Ding Yue.
He wanted to use this opportunity to drag down Ding Yue.
Therefore, he did go all out and defeat Ding Yue and destabilize his Dao heart.
As for Ding Yue, he was also using Ancient God Qing Hong to temper his own Sword Dao and improve his comprehension of his Sword Dao. He was not bothered by the latter's words at all. As he did so, he could increasingly sense the gap between them.
Still, Ding Yue continued to attack. His sword techniques changed, and so did his attacks.
As his strength rose, he even managed to comprehend a new sword technique and use it to nullify Ancient God Qing Hong's attack.
The battle continued.
Eventually, Ancient God Qing Hong decided to put some pressure on Ding Yue.
He suddenly changed his fighting style and began to press forward step by step, constantly shrinking the area Ding Yue could move about in.
"Not bad. Your mastery of the Sword Dao is alright. It's just that your usage of the power of your Dao path is still a little lacking."
"I'll apply some pressure and see if you can make a breakthrough."
"If you can't break through, then you're not worthy of being called a genius."
"I'm looking forward to seeing if you can make it."
Ancient God Qing Hong continued to exert more pressure, slowly increasing the number of attacks.
It seemed like he was really creating an opportunity for Ding Yue to break through.
It was a test to see if he could really be called a peerless genius.
Qin frowned slightly.
If this continued, if Ding Yue was unable to break through and was constantly suppressed, his Dao heart would probably collapse.
It might even affect his cultivation foundation and his Sword Dao.
He might even have the thought of abandoning the Sword Dao and switching to another path.
Once that happened, he would be trapped in a vicious cycle and might end up crippled.
He would be unable to advance any further, and his cultivation level might even regress.
In the history of the chaos, many geniuses had suffered such a blow, but only a few were able to overcome this setback.
Moreover, even if they did, they would waste a long time doing so, and would be left behind by their peers, and relegated to becoming one of the weaker experts.
Qin had once encountered such a genius.
In fact, he had personally destroyed that genius' self-belief and ruined that person's future as a cultivator.
He looked at Ding Yue.
He saw that Ding Yue was already constantly changing his sword techniques.
It was as if he wanted to find a powerful sword technique to break out of this situation.
If he could not find a way to break out of this situation, would his belief waver?
Qin could not help but worry.
However, when he saw Ding Yue's expression and cold gaze, which showed no signs of wavering, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ancient God Qing Hong continued to press, chuckling as he did so. He was even trying to persuade Ding Yue to give up on the Sword Dao, promising to teach him a superior path.
At this moment, although Ancient God Qing Hong seemed relaxed, he was actually feeling the pressure.
Ding Yue's progress was very fast.
"Kid, this time I'll force you to the left."
"You're courting death!"
Ancient God Qing Hong chuckled as he continued to attack, the power of his Dao path swirling in the air as it condensed a powerful attack.
Ding Yue was forced to retreat to the left.
