Chapter 1553: Supreme Child

Chapter 1557: The Supreme Child

This was a boy, around six years old, with an aura of primordial chaos swirling around his waist. His eyes were like jewels, and his black hair naturally fell over his shoulders. He was very beautiful and possessed a rare spiritual essence.

Everyone was astonished. How could a child so young already be surrounded by primordial chaos? It was too astounding, leaving every elder feeling a sense of powerlessness.

If he was like this at six or seven, what would he be like when he grew up? How many peers in this world could contend with him? It was sigh-inducing; those who emerged from the Life Restricted Zones truly brought a sense of despair.

"A talent bestowed by heaven, rarely seen in ancient times. Brother Shenming has fathered a remarkable child. Your lineage has been strong for three generations; your heritage will surely become even more secure," Anpu sighed, a hint of envy appearing on his pale face.

"It's nothing remarkable. There have been even more powerful children in ancient times; surely you've heard of them," Shenming said, though he was clearly pleased with his own offspring. The imperial bloodline, though a generation removed, had not weakened; instead, it was even more outstanding, reaching the pinnacle of talent.

He had brought three children out for experience and exposure. Not all of them were his direct descendants, but all originated from the Life Restricted Zones. Beings like them, chosen and sealed away, were naturally among the strongest individuals. The children were no exception.

Clearly, these children had been placed under restrictions and seals, preventing outsiders from discerning the depth of their cultivation or harming them with secret techniques.

However, a single glance was enough to reveal that none of these children were ordinary mortals. Each was exceptionally heaven-defying, with fragments of laws manifesting in their blood and emitting primordial chaos.

"So these are your children? Do you really think they're invincible?" the Black Emperor swaggered forward, a look of arrogance on its face. "You should remember the Great Emperor who once entered your restricted zone. After his birth, he was so powerful that some of his foundational cultivation was directly severed, for fear he might lack tempering in the future. Now *that* was heaven-defying!"

A large dog, wearing golden leather shorts, had a disdainful expression, which was quite irritating.

One had to remember, it was openly disrespecting a Life Restricted Zone, making people wonder where it got such courage and sparking indignation.

The child beside Shenming naturally fumed, glaring at it angrily and clenching his small fists, wishing he could give it a beating.

However, Shenming himself was visibly startled. He stared at the dog for a long time before saying, "I've seen you before? You're that person's dog, and you've lived until this era! Yes, with his methods, achieving this would certainly be too easy."

Anpu's expression also grew solemn. He observed the Black Emperor for a long time, then remarked, "That person was already in his later years then, and he also passed through our Undying Mountain, accompanied by a large black dog."

Everyone was stunned. Although there had always been legends that this dog, despised by both gods and men, had followed a Great Emperor and possessed a terrifying origin, there had never been conclusive proof. At this moment, with beings from the Life Restricted Zones confirming it, everything was proven true!

"One child fighting isn't enough; it's not a fair match. You'd better call a few more to join in," the Black Emperor said, its words quite irritating.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Currently, the Seven Great Life Restricted Zones were the most powerful entities, yet now a dog was openly despising them. It truly gave one a sense of temporal and spatial disarray.

"Doggy, don't brag," a little girl, about three years old, was struggling to pull the Black Emperor's tail from behind, trying to drag it backward. She was charming and utterly adorable.

Ultimately, the large black dog was dragged away, not causing any more trouble or saying anything further, leaving everyone staring in disbelief.

Shenming showed a peculiar expression and said, "Since you are so confident, I shall invite another child to appear. If both are defeated, we will naturally proceed as agreed."

Events had unfolded in a way that surpassed everyone's expectations.

Ye Fan's expression remained calm. Without a word, he simply tore open the void and retrieved a glowing object from the Cauldron of Mother Qi of All Beings. It was a large chunk of Immortal Source, something most people in the world would never have seen.

Anpu and Shenming, however, both looked at it with strange light in their eyes, staring at what was a truly rare and precious Immortal Source even to them!

Inside, sealed within, was a clean, chubby baby. His pleasant dream had apparently been disturbed, and he seemed very annoyed, glaring indignantly at Ye Fan. When he saw Ye Fan raise his hand, he quickly covered his bottom.

The Immortal Source contained space, allowing him to move around. This action was very childlike and made everyone want to laugh.

The little chubby boy understood the current situation and recognized it as the Ji family's domain, having visited before. Because of a single remark he made back then, many elders of the family had been so shocked they almost overturned their tables.

Seeing Ye Fan glare at him, the divine child relented and said indignantly, "I was wrong last time; he's actually not my father!"

Everyone was stunned. No one had expected the little chubby boy to say something like that. Why? It sounded suspiciously like protesting too much.

Many people showed strange expressions, all looking towards Ye Fan.

"This child who messes with his dad!" Dongfang Ye, Li Heishui, and the others couldn't help but curse.

Not only were the Ji family members bewildered, but even Shenming and Anpu were somewhat dazed, staring at him intently.

In the sky, only Great Saint Huntuo's heart pounded relentlessly. He was the only one who had personally investigated and almost recognized him as kin, but was ultimately so terrified that he fled for his life.

"I'm giving you a task: defeat that child opposite," Ye Fan said, his face dark. Facing the divine child, he had raised his hand several times, almost swatting his little bottom; this chubby kid was too mischievous.

The divine child rubbed his big eyes, fully waking up, and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Let me beat him up? Finally, someone to vent my frustrations on!"

Everyone felt a little dizzy. This little chubby boy was truly a handful, immediately declaring his intent to beat up the descendant of a supreme being from a Life Restricted Zone. He spoke too casually, and at his age, his tone was even more infuriating than the Black Emperor's.

"I want you to seriously defeat him," Ye Fan corrected.

"Isn't that the same thing? You want me to beat him up, to bully that kid," the little chubby boy said. The meaning somehow twisted, making it sound as if Ye Fan wanted to bully the child.

"But, I really love this! Finally, someone to vent my frustrations on. I'm going to treat him like that scoundrel Litian and spank his bottom till it blooms!" The little chubby boy was already indulging in delightful fantasies.

Opposite him, the six-year-old child had already widened his eyes, his small fists clenching so tightly they cracked. Who was he? Though young, he already knew he came from a Life Restricted Zone, that no one in the outside world dared to provoke them. They were true favored sons of heaven, and no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands dared to look down on them in such a way.

"Little chubby boy, you're too naive; you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth," Ming Ren retorted angrily, asking Shenming for permission to immediately go and knock the divine child down.

"Come on, I'm practically trembling with excitement!" the little chubby boy declared arrogantly, his eyes truly sparkling with glee. He shouted, "Kid, come over here, let me give you a good beating!"

Everyone felt a little dizzy again. Who had taught this child to talk like this? He was so tiny! Everyone instinctively looked at Ye Fan.

Even Ji Zi and Ji Haoyue looked at him with suspicion.

Ye Fan massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He quietly said, "Don't look at me. After he came back, he kept sassing me, so I let the Black Emperor and Huahua discipline him for a few days. This is the result."

The Immortal Source wobbled and floated up, like a baby just learning to walk, unsteady on its feet. Inside, the little chubby boy shouted excitedly, "Kid, bring it on! I'll beat you so badly your own father won't recognize you!"

Everyone felt even dizzier, then couldn't hold back their laughter.

Shenming, for the first time, had a darkened expression. What kind of outrageous talk was that? To say such a thing directly in front of him was truly... utterly preposterous.

However, given his status, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't seriously contend with a child, or he would only make himself a laughing stock.

The child Ming Ren, standing beside Shenming, was utterly furious. Given his background, how could he possibly be taught such words? Overwhelmed with indignation, he transformed into a streak of light and charged forward, raising his fist to strike, intent on shattering the Immortal Source directly and dragging the little chubby boy out for a beating.

Everyone was astonished, for they saw the power of laws on the child's fist. This was truly too shocking—how old was he?!

"Good, come on! Watch how big brother takes care of you!" the little chubby boy yelled happily, as if he had found the best present.

The Immortal Source swayed unsteadily, zig-zagging to evade the punch. The person inside seemed somewhat unreliable, with such clumsy movements. Could he actually fight? After all, he was still so young.

Of course, people were also surprised. Since the divine child's appearance, everyone had discussed how someone sealed within such a precious source could not possibly be ordinary.

"Get out!" Ming Ren sharply cried, leaping into the air and stomping his feet towards the Immortal Source, intending to crack it open and stomp out the obnoxious chubby boy inside.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Source vibrated, and though it swayed, it instantly emanated a sacred might that the six-year-old child in mid-air couldn't withstand, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Kid, you're still too green! If you want to fight me, come back after another thousand or eight hundred years of cultivation," the little chubby boy yelled excitedly. He steered the Immortal Source to smash into Ming Ren, hitting him squarely on the forehead with a *bang* and leaving him dizzy.

Everyone was at a loss for words. This little chubby boy looked only two or three years old, plump and fair-skinned, and completely naked, yet he was calling someone else "green." His tone was so peculiar it was unbearable.

Of course, some powerful individuals were horrified. Although they were far away, they had sensed the sacred might from earlier, which was truly shocking to the extreme.

This was like a myth: a mere child had actually become a saint. If word got out, no one would believe it. Was he a descendant of an immortal?!

"Bang!"

The little chubby boy moved within the Immortal Source, clumsily toppling Ming Ren. He used his thoughts to deliver a hefty beating, all while yelling, "Kid, trying to fight me when you haven't even grown all your teeth yet? Today, I'm going to beat you so badly your own father won't recognize you."

Beside him, Shenming had turned into a dark-faced god, wisps of green qi rising from his forehead, with black lines crisscrossing.
