The Favored Son of Heaven - Chapter 600

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The official fight between the old and young apex-level martial artists ended with a side giving up. It didn’t develop into a fierce battle that was expected by everyone.

 Because of the Inferno’s Qin Guangwang’s comments on Shang Guan Chuan Qi, he was gaining a much higher reputation and his aura felt a lot stronger than before Qin Guangwang’s comments. He had almost surpassed Qin Fen.

 Six months ago, Qin Fen fought with Tagatha at the concert, and he had barely managed to take just one strike of Buddha’s Palm. Shang Guan Chuan Qi didn’t even do anything and he defeated the Qin Guangwang, who was once in the same level as Tagatha.

 The golden projection had once again descended from the sky, urging the participants for the second battle of The Great Ensemble to get into the ring.

 Qin Fen vs Golden Dragon Kang!

 The internet was boiling. The entire battlefield had endless and heated discussions as well.

 This had already surpassed the so-called ‘laymen were watching for entertainment, while insiders were watching for experience‘. Golden Dragon Kang had loose skin and a relatively weak spirit now. His strength might not even be a match to a peak fifteen-star martial dao master. He was facing the Qin Fen who had an extremely strong aura, it could only be a match between two people from two entirely different levels.

 For such a battle like this, even the martial artists who were not at the level of the martial dao master could easily tell the result of the battle between these two! This was a battle with no suspense and was not attractive at all. Perhaps it would cost Qin Fen only the strength of one finger to defeat the remorseful Golden Dragon Kang, who was once a famous character on Venus.

 Many people had already begun to look forward to the next battle after Qin Fen finished, such as the battle or conversation between the seniors, Lu Dongbin and Yang Jian.

 The projection of the name list had just appeared. People found that Golden Dragon Kang was the first to make a move. He tidied his clothes and his neat blond hair calmly before he lifted his footstep unhurriedly and walked toward the ring.

 The Young Netherworld Hades, who had been exuding an intense murderous aura that felt like a fierce beast since his appearance, suddenly had a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He pressed against the ground with his five fingers and ran after Golden Dragon Kang. He pressed against Golden Dragon Kang’s shoulder and stopped him from moving.

 Golden Dragon Kang exerted force with his shoulder twice, but he failed to get rid of Hades’ strong hand. He put on a pleased smile, raised his hand to pat Hades’ hand that was on his shoulder gently. He turned back slowly and said smilingly, “Young Lord, please let go. It’s the old man’s turn now…”

 Hades looked at Golden Dragon Kang, staring right into Golden Dragon Kang’s eyes with his crimson red ones. He shook his head gently and slowly. He spoke with a rare and soft tone in his cold voice, “Uncle Golden Dragon, you are no match for him. You don’t need to do this.”

 Golden Dragon Kang’s burly body trembled slightly. He revealed a smile of a kind father figure, he smiled as if a father was looking at his favored son, “Young Lord, do you want to watch your old man gets weaker and older like an old dog until the day I die? I, Golden Dragon Kang, who was the constellation warrior of White Tiger, have no excuse to back off from the enemy’s brother who has killed White Tiger.”

 “You can…”

 “No, I can’t.” Golden Dragon Kang looked directly at Hades, “Young Lord, your old man has been watching you since you were young and I’ve never asked for anything from you. This time, could you please sit down there and watch quietly as I seek revenge for my old master?”

 “Qin Fen!”

 Hades’s face was as cold as the ice of a thousand years old. His arm that was strong enough to destroy anything in the world easily, now felt like it was being pressed by the weight of a huge planet, was leaving Golden Dragon Kang’s shoulder slowly, little by little.

 Qin Fen put on a grave look while standing in the center of the ring. He quietly watched Golden Dragon Kang who walked step by step up the ring. The atmosphere of the entire battle ring was changing rapidly.

 “This is…?”

 “What is he doing?”

 “How could this be?”

 At this moment, the spectators on the internet and the spectators at the scene found that the atmosphere of this battle was very wrong. Golden Dragon Kang did not seem to be going for The Great Ensemble, but more so to take Qin Fen down with him! However, his opponent was Qin Fen! The Qin Fen, who was much stronger than him. Didn’t he know that it was almost impossible even if he wanted to take Qin Fen down with him?

 Golden Dragon Kang faced with Qin Fen and straightened his spine. He scrutinized this young martial artist who rose like a comet and said without any strong emotions, “I know that today’s Young Lord has yet to have the ability to kill you.”

 Qin Fen nodded slightly with a calm face. Not to mention the fact that Hades couldn’t do it, even for Shang Guan Chuan Qi, who has just won without resorting to battle thus gaining a high reputation, it was impossible for him to beat me. My goals for participating The Great Ensemble are to meet my brother Qin Zhan, to take a look at all the strongest martial dao in the current world, and to experience their aura! If I want to have further progress, I’ll need to have such an experience. I need to immerse myself into such an aura where all the masters from all around the world have gathered together.

 “You can’t beat me.” Qin Fen said indifferently, “Just give up.”

 “Give up?” Golden Dragon Kang put on an incomprehensible smile, “You can’t beat Tagatha, will you give up the idea of ​​revenge when you face Tagatha?”

 Qin Fen shook his head expressionlessly, “I won’t.”

 “Then why are you trying to talk me out of this?” Golden Dragon Kang lifted his chin high up, “I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for White Tiger Jarl Lassen!”

 The facial expression of Golden Dragon Kang suddenly changed. He stretched out his arms sideways and directed the true energy to flow throughout his body, forming some thin energy currents that surrounded his body, then it gathered into his palms as if it was being compressed continuously.

 Fifteen-star martial dao master! Golden Dragon Kang bloomed with all his power and slowly turned to look at Hades who was sitting solemnly on the ground. He knelt down with a single knee and lifted his head gently, “Young Lord, I’ve been hiding something from you. I think it’s time for me to tell you today.”

 “Venus’s constellation warriors, come and pay your respect to our Young Lord!”

 Golden Dragon suddenly let out a penetrating and thick roar. The other three Venus constellation warriors who had always been hostile to Hades took a step forward in unison. They all knelt down and paid their respect to Young Netherworld Hades!

 This change was beyond everyone’s expectations! After White Tiger Jarl Lassen died in the battle on that day, Venus’s four constellation warriors suddenly fell apart; Golden Ox Niu and the other two constellation warriors started to fight each other for the title of White Tiger divine beast right away, they even went against Hades who once came to Venus to fight for the divine beast title mercilessly. They were very close to killing the only son of White Tiger many times.

 However, the three major constellation warriors went as far as to kneel before Hades today.

 Young Netherworld Hades frowned slightly and looked at Golden Dragon Kang in the center of the ring with a questioning expression.

 “Young Lord, they have never really betrayed you.” Golden Dragon Kang lifted his head, still kneeling, “When the Lord died, none of us had the ability to train you into a divine beast martial artist. So, we came up with a plan, thinking that if you can kill the four of us, then you can surely become a divine beast martial artist. You needed pressure and someone to hate. Therefore, the three of them faked the betrayal and went out by themselves so you’ll hate them. I became the only one who is by your side.”

 Conspiracy, betrayal, killing! All of these were stories made up by the four constellation warriors…

 Hades’s expression became complicated. He looked carefully at the three constellation warriors in front of him with his crimson red eyes.

 These uncles used to spoil him. However, they went missing on him, betraying him after White Tiger Jarl Lassen’s death. It felt like the whole world had collapsed on him at that moment.

 The world of Hades had been filled with hatred since then. The words of Golden Dragon Kang had brought a huge impact on his original mentality.

 Golden Dragon Kang stood up slowly and quietly looked at Young Netherworld Hades, who was constantly changing his expressions. He secretly sighed. The insect warrior is destined for killing; White Tiger was destined for killing; Hades is destined for killing. The Young Netherworld King who’s supposed to be cut out for the martial dao of massacre, was, in fact, born with a heart not suitable for killing. Although he has always been working on the martial dao of massacre, he couldn’t reach the peak of this martial dao no matter how hard he tried. That’s because he’s lacking a true heart for massacre, even though he has never shown any mercy when he killed in Pandora and in reality. He’s still lacking a true heart for massacre.

 Anger and hatred were the easiest and the most direct way to change him into a killing machine. In order to make Hades’s heart the most suitable heart for massacre so as to adapt to the martial dao of massacre, they would do whatever it would take!

 “Young Lord, this is the last thing your old slave can do for you.”

 Golden Dragon Kang got up on his feet slowly while he whispered those last words to himself. Every pore on his body suddenly spurted out millions of bloody threads in all directions; his strong lower limbs stomped against the ground to create a great forward thrust, and his body became a golden light, producing a whistling sound like that of a dragon’s roar with air friction around him. He focused all his power and punched towards Qin Fen’s head.

 Qin Fen put his right hand behind him, and then gently lifted his left hand forward to divert the Golden Dragon Kang’s fist to the sky. The huge punching force went straight into the sky without hurting Qin Fen at all.

 The earth was still shaking due to the impact of Golden Dragon Kang’s attack a second ago. The body of Golden Dragon Kang stood quietly in front of Qin Fen without moving, leaving no sign of life in him.

 Death! A huge golden projection appeared above the head of Golden Dragon Kang. Only then did the people know that Golden Dragon Kang was dead.

 Qin Fen slowly put down the left hand of Golden Dragon Kang. He could divert all the power of his opponent up to the sky, and he could also kill the incoming opponent. However, he couldn’t do anything to put any of the power back into Golden Dragon Kang’s body so that he would stay alive.

 Qin Fen couldn’t do it, the divine beast martial artists couldn’t do it, even Zong Juelu couldn’t do it! Otherwise, people would have really become gods!

 The huge battle ring went dead silent. No one would have expected that a battle that was supposed to be unremarkable and the least attractive would turn out this way.

 All the people watching through the internet once again shifted their attention to Young Netherworld Hades. It was not because he was the next participant to fight, it was just that the people wanted to know how he would react for Golden Dragon Kang’s death.

 Silence, dead silence.

 Young Netherworld Hades was sitting on the ground just like that, staring quietly at Golden Dragon Kang in the ring who looked like a statue now.

 Murderous aura and anger crept onto Hades’s face. Even though they were watching through the internet, the people could still feel the ultimate coldness of the scene just by looking at his expression.

Crack… crack… crack… 

 The martial artists present on the scene could hear the cracking sounds of Young Netherworld Hades’s bones moving clearly. His breast bones were moving up and down violently, as if something was going to pop out from the inside. Strong heartbeats sounded like the ancient war drums, echoing through the internet, shaking the soul of every audience.

 “It’s my turn.”

 The three words came out from the mouth of Young Netherworld King. People even had an illusion that the air next to his lips was frozen by his cold words.

 “I’ll give up.”

 Tagatha sat on the ground and gently raised his arm, making his choice for this battle.

 He gave up! Three battles with two abstentions and one death! The audience of the internet was stunned. The Great Ensemble had always been the most intense battles. Since the establishment of The Great Ensemble, there had never been someone giving up before. Those who qualified to take part in it would always fight until the very last second of their lives.

 Today, the grandest Great Ensemble in history, The Great Ensemble that said to produce a divine beast martial artist, had two abstentions in the three battles. Furthermore, those who had given up were the top masters among the older generation.

Tagatha and Qin Guangwang! They could be said to be the most famous and the strongest senior martial artists besides Heaven Emperor and Ground Treasury.

 Before the start of The Great Ensemble, many people had assumed that the two of them would have an extremely strong motivation to do something big in The Great Ensemble, as they had been regarded as weaker than the two strongest martial artists in the world. People wouldn’t be too surprised if it were these two who would win the title of the divine beast martial artist with a breakthrough.

 However, no one would have thought of this. The second strongest people from Elysium and Inferno both gave up in the very first round.

 “Give up? Haha! Yeah, just give up! You trash cowards!”

 Sun Jiulong’s figure appeared in the middle of the ring like the lighting, his arrogant aura overwhelmed the whole space. He looked arrogantly at all the martial artists present and spread his arms open, “Xue Tian! Come out and die! You killed my sacred war members. I’ll take the head of yours, the Furious Beheader, to mark the start of a new era of my sacred war!”

His aura that was overbearing and arrogant had made the people watching it through the internet worry. If such a terrorist were to become a divine beast martial artist, what a dark age it’ll be?

 “I’ll kill Xue Tian first, ​​then Qin Fen will be the next! Then…” Sun Jiulong’s finger gestured a line across Caesar and the others beside Qin Fen, and his eyes grew fiercer, “You all will have to die!”

 “You want to kill me?”

 Xue Tian was carrying a katana in his hand, appearing silently behind Sun Jiulong not too far away from him. He put on a lazy smile, “You want to kill me? Do you know me?”

 “Know you?” His blood was boiling under the skin of his face, looking like tiny blue-black snakes crawling all over his face and neck. He was letting off a frightening aura, “I certainly know you! I’ve been collecting information about you guys non-stop since the Terrorist King died. Qin Fen is cultivating Divine Boxing! The martial dao of God. You are cultivating the martial dao of emotions with anger as the source of your martial dao…”

“Who…” Xue Tian dragged his word and smirked, “Told you that… my martial dao is the martial dao of emotions?”
