I am asking the Ancestor to ascend to heaven in the world of "Covering the Sky".

The Golden Clan's Great Sage was the same one who was nearly beaten to death by Ji Lingyun three years ago, which is why the Golden Clan bowed their heads.

"It's really you!"

Hun Tuo Dasheng looked at Ji Lingyun, and his eyes lit up.

The other ancient clan saints also stared at Ji Lingyun with ill intent, as they had all suffered at Ji Lingyun's hands in the past.

However, Ji Lingyun had entered the forbidden realm of gods at that time, and it was a one-on-one fight.

Now that they, the Great Sages, have banded together, the situation is different.

"The Sword God? It's the Sword God! He's been here for a while!"

"No wonder these super ancestral kings are so weak; it turns out the Sword God himself has arrived!"

Long live the Sword God!

"The Sword God is mighty!"

The human cultivators were greatly encouraged and shouted Ji Lingyun's honorific title.

Sword God!

This title is not only a respectful honor for Ji Lingyun's profound understanding of swordsmanship, but also a testament to his contributions to the human race.

"Ye... Ye Zi, did you already know that the Sword... Sword God was coming?"

Liu Kou stammered, his emotions running high.

Damn it, that's his idol!

Ye Fan could only manage a wry smile; what could he say?

"Brother Ji, you're not a good friend at all. You didn't even tell me the Sword God was coming, and I was worried for a long time."

Seeing Jiang Yifei's slightly resentful expression, Ji Haoyue immediately got goosebumps.

"What? You want to gang up on me?"

Ji Lingyun looked at the ancient clans' great saints with disdain, revealing an indifferent attitude, as if he was about to make a move.

"Very well, since you have all already reached an agreement, then we will not interfere. Let us follow the Golden Goddess's suggestion and use the younger generation of prodigies as the battleground to bring this grand event to a final conclusion."

"However, the Sword God cannot make a move."

"The Great Sage of Blood Phoenix Mountain spoke."

Everyone looked at Ji Lingyun. This was indeed unfair. Given his strength in easily killing several super ancestral kings, he really shouldn't have been allowed to leave the field.

"I won't get involved."

Ji Lingyun smiled faintly and sat back down.

Kun Zhou and the other great saints exchanged glances and finally nodded.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's son, the Golden Heavenly Maiden, and others stepped forward to greet the ancient clan's great saints, and then gathered together.

The Emperor looked at Ji Lingyun, feeling somewhat unwilling, clearly recalling the scene of being chased and killed by Ji Lingyun in the past.

However, being a turtle at heart, he quickly suppressed his anger.

Chapter 156 Challenging the Sword God

"Celestial Maiden, it's up to you now."

The Great Sage of the Golden Royal Family spoke gently to the Golden Heavenly Maiden.

The Golden Celestial Maiden nodded slightly and stepped forward under the gaze of countless powerful figures.

As everyone knows, the most crucial moment of this grand gathering of all races is finally approaching.

The strongest bloodline clash between the young prodigies of the human race and the ancient race is about to unfold at this moment.

This also marks the beginning of the most brutal struggle for imperial power on the ancient star of the Big Dipper.

"The first human prodigy I'll challenge is him!"

The golden celestial maiden's body shimmered with golden light, and royal markings flickered between her brows.

Although she was a woman, her blood energy was terrifyingly strong. Her peak semi-saint level aura roared like thunder, making people's eardrums tremble.

After glancing at the numerous young prodigies behind the human saints with her beautiful eyes, her gaze suddenly shifted, and her jade hand returned to Ji Lingyun at the very front.

"What? Golden Goddess, your challenge is actually the Sword God?"

Upon seeing this scene, the ancient clan's Great Saint expert couldn't help but exclaim.

The Golden Goddess's move was completely unexpected.

Everyone originally thought she would choose to challenge Ye Fan, the most prominent human saintly body, or the Ji family's divine body.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Goddess turned her gaze to Ji Lingyun.

This human sword god!

"Challenge me? You're quite confident, woman."

As the person involved, Ji Lingyun also showed a slight surprise.

He touched his nose, a playful look on his face.

However, he didn't seem to have any aversion to it.

In the previous battle at Tongtian Terrace, he had slaughtered even the ancient clan ancestral kings and Heavenly King-level experts, so why would he care about this mere Golden Heavenly Maiden?

Since she wanted to challenge herself on this special occasion, he didn't mind giving her a good beating.

"Princess, you absolutely must not!"

The Great Sage of the Golden Clan, getting anxious, quickly tried to dissuade him.

He knew Ji Lingyun's strength all too well.

He didn't know if Ji Lingyun was injured back then, but as long as Ji Lingyun still had the strength she had a few years ago, he himself wasn't confident of winning, let alone the Golden Heavenly Maiden.

Although the Golden Celestial Maiden possessed extraordinary talent and ranked among the top descendants of the ancient emperors, her cultivation level was still too low.

He was only a demigod.

There's absolutely no chance of winning against Ji Lingyun.

Unfortunately, the Golden Goddess remained unmoved by the ancient clan's persuasion. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she walked step by step to Ji Lingyun and met his gaze.

"I challenge you to a duel against someone of the same level. Do you dare accept?!"

The words of the Golden Goddess were cold and clear, echoing in everyone's ears with unwavering conviction.

She wasn't stupid. Since she dared to challenge Ji Lingyun, she naturally wanted to fight him at the same level.

However, it must be said that the Golden Celestial Maiden's temperament is something Ji Lingyun can appreciate.

Putting aside the difference in their cultivation levels, her boldness, confidence, and aura in front of Ji Lingyun were enough to outshine most of the top young talents present.

It should be noted that the Golden Celestial Maiden's current challenge is not against the Holy Body Ye Fan, nor against other outstanding figures of the same level as the Central Emperor, but against the Sword God Ji Lingyun!

The number of Ancestral King-level powerhouses who fell at Ji Lingyun's hands had already exceeded twenty. Faced with such an unparalleled evil star, even Great Saint powerhouses dared not show their strength, let alone the younger generation of ancient royal descendants.

Only the Golden Celestial Maiden dared to step forward so bravely, stating that she wanted to challenge Ji Lingyun and fight him on equal footing.

Such courage and boldness are unique among all the ancient princes in the present day.

Even the highest divine offspring, such as the Heavenly Emperor's son, would not dare to do such a thing.

"Golden Celestial Maiden, although you are a daughter of an ancient emperor, it is far too arrogant of you to dare to challenge Brother Ling Yun with such cultivation. If you wish to fight, I am ready to oblige at any time!"

In this somber atmosphere, before Ji Lingyun could even speak, Ji Haoyue couldn't hold back any longer.

Ji Haoyue was itching to get her hands on these so-called ancient imperial bloodlines.

The Golden Goddess is powerful enough to be his opponent.

“That’s right. If you’re not satisfied with this grand gathering of all races today, Golden Goddess, I’m ready to oblige at any time.”

At this moment, Ye Fan, the Holy Body, stepped forward.

"And I!"

Subsequently, from the human race's camp, those who had remained silent, such as Zhonghuang, Hua Yunfei, and Zixia, stepped forward one by one.

Each person's vital energy was powerful, rumbling and vibrating, and all eyes were focused on the Golden Celestial Maiden.

In an instant, the whole atmosphere became serious.

A sense of impending storm loomed.

Faced with this situation, even the great saints of the ancient clan couldn't help but frown slightly.

The current situation has changed in a way that has taken them by surprise.

Especially when it comes to Ji Lingyun, that freak, even if the major royal families joined forces, they still couldn't figure out his true strength.

"Youth is truly wonderful. In this golden age, both the ancient and human races have produced outstanding talents, all of whom are exceptional individuals."

Above the temple, Great Sage Hun Tuo spoke with a smile.

His smile temporarily eased the atmosphere.
