Youming Divine Country, renowned throughout this cosmos.
Besides Moko Divine Country, it is the most famous among the advanced life groups.
And Youming Shifang is a figure with great fame on the Star Domain God King Ranking.
His challenge to Ye Chen immediately drew countless eyes on the battle platform!
"Youming Shifang, ranked fifth on the Star Domain God King Ranking, wants to challenge Ye Chen, who's ranked fourth on the Star Domain God King Ranking!"
"Heavens, this is an earth-shattering duel."
"Although there have been countless challenges earlier, none involved the top ten figures on the Star Domain True God Ranking, Star Domain God King List, or Star Domain Divine Venerable List. After all, such figures avoid casual conflicts."
"I didn't expect Youming Shifang to brazenly taunt Ye Chen to come out! This isn't just a challenge, Youming Shifang is trying to fiercely slap Ye Chen's face!"
"Well, Youming Shifang obviously harbors intense dislike for Ye Chen. Considering Youming Divine Country ranks second in this cosmos, Youming Shifang is a world-renowned genius among the God Kings of the Netherworld Ancient Clan, yet he was surpassed by Ye Chen from a moderate Divine Kingdom on the Star Domain God King Ranking after its revision. Naturally, he feels disgruntled."
"He's aiming to teach Ye Chen a harsh lesson, like how Chiyu Divine Venerable from Shamang Divine Country disciplined Yuanji Divine Venerable from Lanyue Divine Country, proving his superiority in front of everyone!"
"Now there's a good show to watch."
"If Ye Chen loses, it'll be a colossal blunder for him. If he wins, he'll offend Youming Divine Country."
"Enjoy the show, the higher one stands, the harder the fall. A loud reputation isn't always favorable. Being defeated in front of so many people is quite embarrassing."
Countless onlookers began discussing gleefully.
Most believe Youming Shifang, who openly provoked, has a higher chance of victory. For one, Youming Shifang hails from a stronger Youming Divine Country, and second, he must be extremely confident to challenge Ye Chen so directly.
Upon hearing Youming Shifang's taunt, two women frowned.
One woman is Jiang Yao from the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain Divine Kingdom team.
Jiang Yao looked towards Youming Divine Country, instinctively frowning and clenching her fist slightly.
The other woman was a tiny girl, appearing like an undeveloped loli, sporting twin ponytails, and carrying a snow-colored saber larger than herself on her back.
This petite girl stood at the forefront of another Divine Kingdom team.
If someone recognized this Divine Kingdom team, they'd be astounded — it's Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom's team, the cosmos's fifth-ranked powerful Divine Kingdom.
Though Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom ranks lower than Youming Divine Country, its influence in the Cosmic Sea surpasses even Youming Divine Country, ranking higher than Moko Divine Country.
It's said that Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom possesses a unique Divine Origin awakening, becoming stronger the further they cultivate, birthing numerous Star Lord-level beings in the Cosmic Sea.
Furthermore, it's rumored that the Ancestral God Temple's founder, the great Star Master Yuan Wu, originated from Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom.
Yet Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom remains extremely low-key, rarely competing in the cosmos, and only participated in this Stellar Domain Genius Battle due to significant upheavals.
Despite its numerous formidable talents and remarkable heritage, a tiny girl leading from the front is indeed surprising.
This petite girl, hearing Youming Shifang's words, murmured, "Great Ancestor told me to beat that Ye Chen up well, didn't say others could bully him. After all, Ye Chen is the descendent of Great Ancestor's friend."
"Is that Youming Divine Country guy looking for trouble too?"
Her eyes shifted, seeming to brew some mischievous thoughts.
Beside her, a tall young man glanced at the girl's expression, then at Youming Shifang, chuckling and shaking his head.
"That Youming Shifang will likely face disaster later," the tall youth thought, "Qianqian is notorious for causing trouble, surprising that Grandmother let her out this time."
If someone glanced at this tall young man, they'd recognize him as Dragon Ning, the top super genius from Dragon Xuan Divine Kingdom, ranked first on the Star Domain Divine Venerable List by Stone Ridge Palace!
Beside Dragon Ning, the petite girl daringly claimed to beat up Ye Chen, indifferent even to the Star Domain God King List's top-ranked Moko Ye — Qianqian!
After Youming Shifang activated the challenge runes, his voice reverberated inside the Mishe Lotus Platform where Ye Chen was residing.
Although only a few hours had passed outside, due to the different time flow rate inside Mishe Lotus Platform, seven or eight days had already elapsed.
During these seven or eight days, others were still diligently cultivating.
Even Long Li was still engaged in arduous training.
But Ye Chen successfully completed another session of cultivation, sensing the Space Star Aperture in the Starry Sky Waterfall, activating another Origin Star Aperture within!
Initially, Ye Chen was marveling at the Primordial Star Scripture created by Zi Ji Star Lord. Even the Space Star Aperture in the ancestral Secret Ground's Starry Sky Waterfall could be sensed by the Primordial Star Scripture.
Then, suddenly he heard Youming Shifang's provocative words, causing Ye Chen to frown.
The others, cultivating inside Mishe Lotus Platform, also startled upon hearing Youming Shifang's demand for Ye Chen to come out.
"Someone is challenging Ye Chen."
"Could they be trying to seize our Mishe Lotus Platform?"
"Telling Ye Chen to come out, how brazen! Truly outrageous!"
The people of Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation are furious and fly towards Ye Chen.
Beside Ye Chen was Long Li, who was originally still cultivating, but upon hearing Youming Shifang's words, immediately awoke from her cultivation.
Youming Shifang's words made Long Li's starry eyes flash instantly.
Long Li directly stood up!
Ye Chen knew exactly what Long Li was thinking at this moment.
He patted Long Li's little head and smiled: "Let me handle it."
Long Li looked into Ye Chen's eyes and gently acknowledged with a hum, but the little girl softly said: "I want to go out too and see which divine nation has such courage."
"Then let's go out together." Knowing Long Li's concerns, Ye Chen nodded with a smile.
"Ye Chen, I want to go out and see too!"
"Ye Chen, we all want to go out!"
Although the challenge was not over, and they could still cultivate inside the Mishe Lotus Platform, the Little Provincial Princess, Mo Xiaohan, and many others were immensely concerned about Ye Chen. Hearing someone openly provoking Ye Chen made them all furious, wanting to follow Ye Chen out to see.
Ye Chen looked at the crowd and nodded.
He stretched his hand towards the Mishe Lotus Platform, instantly casting a light that enveloped everyone. With a "swish" sound, Ye Chen and a group of people directly exited from the internal space of the Mishe Lotus Platform, arriving outside it.
"Youming Shifang, ranked fifth on the Star Domain God King Ranking from Youming Divine Nation, challenges Ye Chen, ranked fourth from Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation. The show is about to start!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen and others coming out of the Mishe Lotus Platform, the surrounding discussions grew louder.
Seeing Ye Chen come out, Jiang Yao hurriedly waved towards him.
Originally, when Jiang Yao arrived on the preparation platform, she attracted countless eyes. Now, seeing her greet Ye Chen and the equally beautiful girl Long Li beside him, many envied Ye Chen greatly.
"Those two, they must be the rumored two peerless goddesses, Jiang Yao and Long Li!"
"I've heard these two are immensely powerful, though they rarely demonstrate their skills and are not recorded on the Star Domain Ranking. But rumors say they are extraordinarily strong."
"Ye Chen, he's got quite the luck with women, really enviable!"
"Envious? Wait, when he loses to Youming Shifang, he'll be thoroughly embarrassed, and maybe then both goddesses will leave him for being such a disgrace!"
After Jiang Yao greeted Ye Chen, many started whispering more intensely.
"Youming Divine Nation? Youming Shifang?"
Upon hearing the surrounding discussions, Ye Chen instantly understood the situation.
"It seems like another guy, just like that Prince of Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country, coming out to cause trouble because of the Star Domain God King Ranking."
Ye Chen shook his head, smiling.
"Yao'er has finally arrived!"
Ye Chen didn't pay any heed to Youming Shifang and directly waved at Jiang Yao with a smile.
Many assumed that Ye Chen, being loudly asked to come out by Youming Shifang, would come out angrily. But to their surprise, Ye Chen emerged with a calm demeanor, even glancing at Youming Shifang while smiling and shaking his head, looking at him as if he were a fool.
This look made many feel that Ye Chen severely underestimated Youming Shifang.
After all, Youming Shifang was ranked fifth on the Star Domain God King Ranking, a powerful figure from Youming Divine Nation, a peerless genius!
Could it be that Ye Chen believed dealing with Youming Shifang would be as simple as dealing with that Prince of Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country?
Youming Shifang, provoked by Ye Chen's indifferent glance, frowned.
As he prepared to further mock Ye Chen, the beautiful young lady standing by Ye Chen spoke: "Youming Divine Nation? Looks like during the Star Domain Genius Battle God Venerable fight, I need to give Youming Divine Nation's God Venerables some lessons."
When this beautiful young lady spoke, many knew that this must be the rumored first goddess of the Supreme Divine Institute, Long Li, among the two goddesses beside Ye Chen, who had reached the Divine Venerable Realm.
Rumors stated that only Long Li was at the Divine Venerable Realm, while the other goddess Jiang Yao and Ye Chen remained at the God King Realm.
Long Li's words carried absolute confidence. Her gaze towards the God Venerables of Youming Divine Nation even made them instinctively wary.
Then, from afar, another tender voice emerged from the crowd.
"Youming Divine Nation is indeed too arrogant. During the Star Domain Genius Battle God King fight, I will certainly teach Youming Divine Nation's God Kings some lessons!"
"I'm Qianqian, but I'm not one of Ye Chen's pretty companions!"
Numerous eyes turned towards the direction of the voice.
They saw a young girl standing at the forefront of Long Xuan Divine Kingdom, confidently holding her head high, looking at both the people of Youming Divine Nation and Ye Chen on the Mishe Lotus Platform.
Beside the young girl ranked first on the Star Domain Divine Venerable List, Long Ning heard her words and bitterly smiled while rubbing his head: "I knew this girl couldn't resist speaking..."
