In addition to them, Crown Prince Huo Chentian was also present with a group of talented young individuals. Among them were the familiar figures of Yun Xianling, Liang Chongxiang, Miao Qin Qing, and Prince Huo Chenxiong. This time, the crown prince was leading the kingdom's prodigies to the Four Kingdoms Summit on behalf of his father, the king. However, as the overseer, he could not participate in the competitions, and it should be noted that he was above the age limit. Only those under twenty could participate in the Four Kingdoms Summit.
Miao Qin Qing, with some concern, said, "Big Brother Yang hasn't arrived yet. Could he miss the competition?" Her tone was filled with worry. Yang Zhufen was the leader and the main pillar of the group. In other words, they all knew each other thanks to Yang Zhufen.
Liang Chongxiang, with a slight frown, said, "The Four Kingdoms Summit is very important to Big Brother Yang. I don't think he would miss this opportunity!" However, worry was evident in his eyes. It had been a long time, and Yang Zhufen had not yet arrived.
Yun Xianling, with complete confidence, said, "Don't worry. Big Brother Yang will definitely come." She knew that Yang Zhufen was attempting to break through to the Innate Realm, which might take some time.
At that moment, a giant bird appeared in the sky. The bird was so large that it could cover the sun. A shadow fell over the audience, and the pressure emanating from it almost forced some of the young people to their knees. If it weren't for the intervention of Huo Tianhon and Huo Tianhan, they might have been harmed. Yang Liancheng furrowed his elderly brows and spat coldly, "How arrogant!"
As the overseer of the kingdom, he despised this arrogant sect, which was also recognized as the strongest sect in the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Not only him, but also Zhong Luohe and others shared this sentiment. Besides the Yuancho Tribe, the Cloud Valley Sect was the largest tumor of the royal family.
The white bird, after circling in the sky, landed on the ground. This bird, with its white feathers, had a body size of ten to fifteen feet, easily capable of carrying dozens of people. The Sky Cloud Bird! A third-grade beast! Although only at the low level, it had power comparable to a first-layer Spirit Light Realm cultivator. Specialists of the Spirit Light Realm were very few in the Four Kingdoms. The presence of a beast at this level showcased the incredible power of the Cloud Valley Sect.
"Greetings to the king!"
Tan Kuanli and Great Elder Tan Kuancheng, who was also his blood brother, along with five young disciples, jumped off the Sky Cloud Bird and bowed to Huo Tianhon. Even though they were the strongest sect in the Fierce Hell Kingdom, they had to show implicit respect to the king. After all, Huo Tianhon was still the strongest.
"Rise! Rise!" Huo Tianhon, in his encounter with Tan Kuanli, displayed a majestic demeanor. The top prodigies of the kingdom were present, and he needed to instill a sense of respect among them.
Huo Chenxiong, pointing to a boy in golden clothes, said, "He is Tan Xionkan, the son of Tan Kuanli and the young master of the Cloud Valley Sect. He is also the strongest prodigy of our kingdom, having reached the sixth layer of the Innate Realm at the age of nineteen."
"Nineteen years old and the sixth layer of the Innate Realm? He is truly amazing!" Liang Chongxiang said with an elegant tone, looking at the boy who exuded a dominating aura from the center of the Cloud Valley Sect representatives. No matter how he looked at it, this boy was incredibly strong, overshadowing the four other representatives entirely.
Huo Chenxiong continued, "Besides him, Huang Baichun, the prodigy of the Huang family, has reached the fifth layer of the Innate Realm at the age of nineteen. Ji Liang, at the age of eighteen, is in the fourth layer; Huang Baiming and Mo Chinger are in the third and second layers, respectively."
Huo Chenxiong, pointing to a young boy who appeared arrogant and proud, explained with admiration in his tone, "Huang Baiming is even more extraordinary than his older brother. He recently turned seventeen but is already in the third layer of the Innate Realm."
This time, the representatives of the Cloud Valley Sect were very strong. One in the sixth layer, one in the fifth layer, one in the fourth layer, and two in the third layer of the Innate Realm! They had influenced the other prodigies of the Fierce Hell Kingdom.
Among the prodigies behind Huo Chentian, not a single one was in the sixth layer. There was only one in the fifth layer, and that was the number one disciple of the Scarlet Flame Academy, Li Shimin. Only one was in the third layer, and the rest were much weaker.
Huo Tianhon was also impressed by the representatives of the Cloud Valley Sect. This time, the top prodigy of the Huo family was Huo Chenxiong, who had reached the third layer of the Innate Realm at the age of seventeen. His talent was slightly lower than Huang Baiming's. Although he was worried about this, he was also pleased. The more prodigies, the stronger the kingdom.
Huo Tianhon, clearing his throat, said, "You talented young people are the prodigies of our kingdom. I hope you will hold the flag of the Fierce Hell Kingdom high at the Four Kingdoms Summit!"
Huo Tianhon hoped they wouldn't come in last place. As for winning, he didn't think much about it. The previous victory was merely a coincidence. If it weren't for that girl from the Yuancho Tribe, the Fierce Hell Kingdom wouldn't have won.

"Oh, Big Brother Yang has arrived!" At that moment, Liang Chongxiang's joyful voice echoed in the air. Miao Qin Qing also happily waved her right hand in the air, as if guiding Yang Zhufen towards them. Yun Xianling welcomed him with a beautiful smile.
With Yang Zhufen's arrival, the expressions of Zhong Liancheng and Yang Luohe became very pleased. If it weren't for Yang Zhufen's command, they would have knelt and worshiped him as their master.
"So, he is the noble young Yang Zhufen!" Huo Tianhan looked deeply at Yang Zhufen, as if trying to probe him. However, the more he tried, the more he failed. This shocked him. He was in the first layer of the Spirit Light Realm, yet he couldn't gauge the depth of this young boy. In the end, he gave up and, with a smile of admiration, said, "Not bad! Not bad! His talent even surpasses Tianer's!"
"Talent surpassing Chentian!" Huang Baiming finally opened his eyes and looked at Yang Zhufen. He was known as the most talented prodigy of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. His talent even surpassed that of his elder brother and brought pride to the Huang family, the strongest noble family in the kingdom.
Unfortunately, despite all this, his talent was lower than Huo Chentian's. Huo Chentian was still known as the greatest prodigy in the history of the Fierce Hell Kingdom. He was only twenty-three years old but had reached the tenth layer of the Innate Realm, just half a step away from the Spirit Light Realm. When he realized he couldn't see Yang Zhufen's cultivation level, he frowned.
Huo Chentian approached Yang Zhufen and gently asked, "Brother Yang, did you break through to the Innate Realm?" His eyes reflected a trace of excitement and anticipation. He had high regard for Yang Zhufen and even considered him superior to himself.
Yang Zhufen, with a bored smile, said, "Just a small breakthrough!" Then he closed his eyes, as if referring to a trivial matter. The Nine Divine Suns Art was truly amazing. Not only had it increased his cultivation speed, but every time he achieved a major breakthrough, it refined his body. According to the memories of the Dao Ancestors, when he cultivated the Nine Divine Suns Art to a certain level, his body would transform into the Divine Nine Yang Body. This was a fundamental divine law with immense and terrifying power. Yes, as Yun Xianling had said, the Four Kingdoms were too small for him.
Just a small breakthrough! Huo Chentian was speechless at the level of Yang Zhufen's shamelessness. However, he had to admit that Yang Zhufen was a once-in-a-ten-thousand-years genius. Since the last time he met him, except for the past two days, Yang Zhufen's cultivation was only in the seventh layer of the Body Refinement Realm, but now he was in the Innate Realm. How much time had passed? Probably not even two months. In such a short time, he had achieved this breakthrough, and it should be mentioned that he was only sixteen years old.
[I don't know what is special about this kid, but if Huo Tianhan holds him in such high regard, he must not be ordinary], Tan Kuanli thought to himself.
Their behavior did not escape his sharp eyes. Thus, Tan Kuanli came to the conclusion that there was something special about Yang Zhufen.
The beautiful eyes of Mo Chinger sparkled with curiosity as she looked at Yang Zhufen. With a tone of sarcasm, she said, "It seems someone more talented than you has been found!" Huang Baiming sneered and said, "Hmph! Just a small clown! It will be clear in the Four Kingdoms Summit who is superior." No one knew that Huang Baiming had decided to crush Yang Zhufen at the best opportunity. He would never allow anyone to surpass him.
Yang Zhufen was unaware of all this. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Now that he had broken through to the Innate Realm, even a fourth-layer Innate Realm cultivator might not be able to defeat him.
Huo Chenxiong put an arm around Yang Zhufen's shoulder and said with a bit of laughter, "When you were in the Body Refinement Realm, you defeated a second-layer Innate Realm cultivator. I'm amazed at how much stronger you've become now that you've reached the Innate Realm!" He remembered the time when Yang Zhufen defeated a second-layer Innate Realm cultivator in a stunning fight. That scene would never be forgotten by him. At that time, he also reported this news to his father, which further elevated his father's view of Yang Zhufen.
This is why the royal family treated Yang Zhufen so well. He was the most talented individual in the Fierce Hell Kingdom. Of course, it should not be forgotten that Yang Zhufen's status was very high. He held the position of commander-in-chief of the army and was also the chief mentor of the kingdom and the great counselor.
With everyone's attention on Yang Zhufen, the sky suddenly changed. It seemed that something special was about to happen. The temperature became very strange, neither cold nor warm but possessing both qualities. A pressure even more terrifying than the appearance of the Cloud Valley Sect was imposed on the surroundings. All this indicated that a formidable force was about to appear.
Huo Tianhon said in a solemn tone, "They are here! The Yuancho Tribe!"
