Upon hearing Tu Ying's words, every contestant pulled a long face.

They had been despised and humiliated.

​​

It seemed that Tu Ying did not regard anyone highly except Tuo Si.

That was extreme confidence, and extreme conceit and arrogance. Everyone found it intolerable.

Geniuses such as Ming Yu, Long Daotian, Li Qianjue and Xing Yuanhao looked down and closed their eyes.

They had not expected that Tu Ying could be so full of himself.

Even though he did not put up an arrogant attitude, nor put on a conceited expression, deep in his heart, he was genuinely arrogant.

"What confidence you have!" Su Mo's eyes held up his smiles. This fellow dared to put down others by calling them dimwits.

"You....!"

Up on the platform, You Tian was really upset upon hearing Tu Ying's derogatory words.

Despised!

Humiliation!

You Tian was furious. He thoroughly flared up. He had never been put down by anyone before.

"Tu Ying, let me see. What makes you so conceited?"

You Tian let out an angry cry. Subsequently, he lifted his body and his shadow flew upwards, as if he was an arrow which had left the bow.

You Tian's speed was amazingly swift. Ordinary warriors would be unable to see his shadow. They saw a flash of light and You Tian disappeared.

However, Tu Ying was plain as usual. He held up his pair of hands and stood motionless on the platform. He looked as if he did not care if You Tian would strike.

In the next moment, the sky darkened.

A huge shadow enveloped a radius of several thousand miles. A terrifying pressure rolled over the grounds.

Everyone looked up and saw a mammoth creature drifting above the Vault of Heaven.

This big bird wore purple glittering lights on its body. Every feather was like a Sacred Sword, which shone with glaring bright lights.

The bird was really long, its length reached several thousand miles. It was enormous and terrifying-looking.

Giant Bird!

This was a super Giant Bird. Its enormous size surpassed all living things. Even a huge dragon paled in comparison.

The Giant Bird opened its pair of wings, which were super lengthy. The pair of wings measured five thousand miles. They look ghastly.

That was You Tian's body. You Tian, the Giant Bird, he was the king of all giant birds. That was how You Tian had got his name.

According to legend, You Tian the Giant Bird was a supreme Divine Beast, and he wandered in the Illusory. It shuttled between Heaven and Hell. It was a powerful bird.

Swoosh!

Every genius and masters from various tribes and clans retreated from the platform.

You Tian restored himself to his original form. What followed would be a tumultuous storm. Devastation would follow soon.

"What an impressive stance!"

Tu Ying stood on the platform. Holding his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky with a gentle smile.

Subsequently, the enormous Giant Bird moved and flapped its pair of huge wings.

In a flash, there were bright neon lights and a powerful might hurricane was formed.

This hurricane was filled with destructive power. It carried with it strong, violent waves, lined with purple lights. It swept rain like a crazy waterfall, attacking Tu Ying on the platform.

The mad, forceful winds were horrifying and destroyed the Empty Space and exterminated the Boundary Space Force. Its speed was super fast.

"Terrifying forceful!"

"Horrifying!"

"Is this the real prowess of You Tian? He is truly one of the top ten saints."

"As good as the masters of Rank 4 Empty God Realm!"

Countless folks were bewildered. The strike from You Tian was indeed forcibly strong and comparable to the masters of Rank 4 Empty God Realm.

"Too feeble!"

However, such a powerful strike was nothing worthy to note in Tu Ying's eyes.

Tu Ying raised his palm towards the Vault of Heaven. He took a pinch at the ferocious hurricane.

Suddenly, there was a change in the winds and clouds and the entire world froze. It was as if there was an invisible big hand pinching on the hurricane.

A thunderous roar.

There was a loud explosion and it shook everything. Mighty and violent strong winds were pinched till they came apart. Ferocious waves scattered in all directions.

The waves surged and swept across all the land.

However, all spectators were of Empty God Realm's cultivation. They were unaffected by the surging waves.

"So powerful?"

"How could that be?"

"This… is rather powerful?"

Everyone, except those from the Star Tribe, were flabbergasted.

Because the forceful prowess of Tu Yings was incredible. He had effortlessly devastated You Tian's attack.

This was not the most important thing. The most incredulous was You Tian's unfathomable ability. No one could decipher what was virtual and what was real. All they could make out was that he had cultivated and attained Rank 2 of the Empty God Realm.

This made everyone worried. They were clueless as to Tu Ying's real strength.

"Is he that powerful?" Su Mo was also getting serious. He was unable to quantify how powerful Tu Ying was.

However, he had a hunch. This fellow would be his strongest opponent for this contest.

Above in the Firmament, the gigantic bird, upon seeing the destruction of the violent winds, did not hesitate to strike again.

Its body hung in the sky-high Firmament, its super fat and sharp claws dipped down from above.

Thunderous roar!

As the sharp claws appeared, there were a succession of explosions in the Empty Space. That was because the speeds were too fast and caused the Empty Space to explode.

The enormous claws were sharp like a razor. Every claw was like towering pillar. Each one flashed with glittery purple lights.

Amidst the explosions, the sharp claws tore away at everything and pressed down like Mount Taishan. The claws reached for the minuscule Tu Ying on the platform.

"You have no chance to strike!"

Tu Ying was calm. Before he opened his mouth, his body was inflated and in a few seconds, he had become a towering giant.

The giant's head hit the sky and he rooted himself firmly to the ground. He scanned the surroundings and his forcefulness shocked the heavens. He was like the ruler of Heaven and Earth, bringing fear to everyone.

Pong!

The giant lifted his palm, one that resembled a single pillar that supported the sky. He grabbed the Giant Bird's sharp claws.

When the crowd saw this, their fear showed on their faces.

That included many masters of Rank 4 Empty God Realm, all the chiefs from the various tribes and clans. All of them looked grave and were stunned.

The Giant Bird in the Vault of Heaven showed tremendous fears in its eyes.

The bird had wanted to fish out its enormous claw but it was too late. Tu Ying's arm grabbed forward suddenly and thrusted the bird's enormous claws towards the grounds.

Tu Ying's strength was as powerful as the force of Heaven and Earth. The Giant Bird was feeble and was knocked down.

Thunderous roar!

A thunderous bolt of explosion was heard and the gigantic body of the bird hit directly onto the Ninth Mountain.

The violent impact shook the Ninth Mountain.

However the Ninth Mountain was no ordinary mountain, nor a real peak. It was formed by the escaping forces of the Deity Plane. It could suffer no destruction.

Precisely due to the steadfastness of the Ninth Mountain, the thrust caused the Giant Bird to vomit blood and lose all its feathers.

"You lost!"

Tu Ying stared at the severely-injured You Tian. The words were cold and overbearing. He retracted his palm and its body swiftly contracted. In a flash it was restored to its usual size.

Quiet!

Everyone, except for the Star Tribe, were speechless as they watched the shocking incident unfold before their eyes.

You Tian was defeated!

As the ninth saint of the God's Path, You Tian was defeated by Tu Ying effortlessly.

Tu Ying's power was unimaginable and mysterious. He was capable of anything, just like a deity.

"Is he an ancient god?"

"A deity!"

Everyone was shocked and in disbelief. The contestants were all awed with respect and admiration for Tu Ying.

Such a character, Son of the Heaven and Earth, Son of the Deity, deserved respect.

Those folks who were bent to win the challenge, including Tuo Si, Long Daotian, Ming Yu and Li Qianjue, were perturbed.

Besides Tuo Si, everyone else's confidence was terribly shaken and started to crumble.

"Disaster!" Su Mo's serious expression betrayed his lack of confidence, after he had witnessed how powerful Tu Ying was.

Prior to this scene, he had been full of confidence for himself as he had thought that Tuo Si and Tu Ying would be unable to beat him.

However, now it seemed that his sure-win might be an illusion.

This fellow was indomitable.

Xing Yuanhao from the Star Tribe, watched the severely-wounded You Tian Giant Bird and shook his head in resignation.

You Tian was defeated thoroughly and effortlessly. It had seemed logical.

No one could have been less aware of Tu Ying's prowess. Even he himself could only take three of Tu Ying's blows, let alone You Tian.

"You Tian!"

Chief Kun Xu of the Giant Bird Tribe screamed and rushed to You Tian's side.

At that moment, the Giant Bird had changed into a human and You Tian reappeared.

"I am fine!"

You Tian rose up and cleaned his bloodied lips. He stole a quick glance at Tu Ying on the platform and admitted: "I had not expected there would be such a big gap between us. I concede defeat!"

He stopped and flew to rejoin the Giant Bird Tribe.

Upon hearing those words, Tu Ying showed a gentle smile. This was just the beginning. He would let his contestants have a fair duel with him and they would surely concede defeat.

At the same time, he would show the world that his Ancient God Tribe would be the strongest tribe within the entire universe.

"Hahahaha!"

At this time, a hearty laugh was heard. It was from the Chief of the Star Tribe. He looked at Tu Ying and chided: "Tu Ying, although you are the champion, you have been too ruthless. Do keep in mind not to go overboard."

Xing Han was utterly pleased. Tu Ying had represented his Star Tribe and it looked like his tribe would be the final winner in this challenge.

The control and ownership of the Dawn Stone Mine would still be with the Star Tribe. There would be no transfer of ownership.

"Hehe, Elder Xing Han, do rest assured that I shall not hurt anyone badly, despite their weaker prowess!" Tu Ying chuckled. Perhaps he might have caused injuries to others' physical bodies. He would take care not to damage their Spiritual Souls and Sacred Elixirs.

"Good to hear that!" Xing Han was pleased to hear that commitment from Tu Ying. He could not help but show his pride.

All the others pulled gloomy faces. They were upset by the exchanges between Xing Han and Tu Ying.

Between the two of them, they had already decreed a default winner.
