It would have been better if Liu Wuxie hadn’t said that, but as soon as he did, Ye Lingtian directly reached out with one hand, and a massive, materialized handprint instantly formed in the void, pressing down from the sky towards Wang Yufan.

"Rumbling!" The surrounding air vibrated with a pounding sound from Ye Lingtian’s punch.

Dozens of meters of ground around Wang Yufan instantly collapsed several meters deep, but the spot where Wang Yufan stood remained completely untouched.

Although Ye Lingtian was slightly surprised, this did not change his attack. Many people had never seen Lord God Emperor Ye, the first God Emperor of the Dao Realm, make a move.

"Although there were many unexpected events in this Imperial Court Grand Competition, it also gave us an opportunity to see Lord God Emperor Ye demonstrate his power. We all thought that a God King Realm expert was already incredible. We never expected a God Emperor Realm expert to be like this when angered."

"Yes, although Lord God Emperor Ye’s attack hasn’t landed, the momentum contained within his body has already reached the vicinity of that young man from the Jidao Imperial Court."

"That young man is also quite strong. Look, he hasn’t even made a move, yet the ground around him has collapsed, while the ground he stands on is perfectly fine."

"You all guess, will this mysterious young man from the Jidao Imperial Court also be someone who can slap Heavenly Dao Emperor flying with a single palm?"

Upon hearing this person speak, everyone else around them raised their eyes and looked over.

"Hey, young man, you should think about the consequences before you speak. If His Majesty, Emperor Ye wins, then those of you who are speaking boastful and slanderous words behind his back will probably be the first to suffer, believe it or not," someone said loudly.

As for the person who had just spoken, he closed his mouth. He knew that the Tiandao Imperial Court, led by Ye Lingtian, appeared very proper and kind to people on the surface. However, once their bottom line was crossed, the consequences would be severe.

"Alright, you few, let’s take a good look at what’s happening now."

After they had discussed enough, everyone looked towards Wang Yufan.

Ye Lingtian’s attention remained on Liu Wuxie not far away. As for Wang Yufan, he didn’t care about him at all. Ye Lingtian firmly believed that after this punch, Wang Yufan would most likely die. For a dying person, no weapon or cultivation technique was useful.

But for Wang Yufan, he merely lifted his eyelids. Ye Lingtian’s massive palm dissipated invisibly when it was about a few meters away from him.

Ye Lingtian, who was focused on Liu Wuxie, felt a strong surge of power emanating from Wang Yufan the moment his attack dissipated. In that instant, Ye Lingtian felt his eyebrows twitch violently.

"Hmph, good kid, it seems you have some strength. Whether or not you’ve hidden your cultivation, you can’t be my opponent. Take this!" After Ye Lingtian finished speaking, a massive fist once again descended. This time, the power was four or five times greater than before.

In Ye Lingtian’s mind, he believed that a young man could not have too high a cultivation, and he could be completely annihilated with just a slight effort. If he exerted too much effort, he would be ridiculed by those around him.

And Wang Yufan just watched quietly, then spoke to Ye Lingtian: "Well, I think you should also go back and cultivate properly. Your strength is decent, but your temperament is exactly the same as your disciple’s. So, I think I should seal your strength as well. When both of you realize your mistakes, it will automatically be lifted."

However, upon hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Ye Lingtian was so enraged that he directly jumped up.

"You... you... are too arrogant! I think I should properly discipline you on behalf of your elders in the Jidao Imperial Court, to let you know what seniority and respect mean."

"Oh, then come over. Look, your punch is still soft and weak," Wang Yufan said, simultaneously launching a punch. This punch didn’t even use one-thousandth of Wang Yufan’s power, but he still felt it was a bit too much.

Indeed, as Wang Yufan’s punch directly struck, Ye Lingtian’s second massive palm instantly shattered into pieces.

This scene stunned everyone.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened? How could Lord God Emperor Ye’s attack be neutralized by a mere brat in one move? Could that kid also be in the God Emperor Realm?"

"Impossible, that kid is definitely not in the God Emperor Realm."

Upon hearing this person’s words, some people in the crowd nodded, but then they heard that person continue.

"That kid isn’t in the God Emperor Realm, but I think his strength might already be stronger than the God Emperor Realm. Otherwise, how could he break Lord God Emperor Ye’s attack with one punch? Even someone in the same realm couldn’t do that, unless that kid’s strength is already much stronger than many others. His strength might have already reached the legendary God Sovereign. Of course, these are all just my guesses."

As for Ye Lingtian, who was in the midst of the battle, the shock of his punch, which contained fifty percent of his power, being broken by Wang Yufan lingered in his heart for a long time.

"Impossible! Why did you so easily break my attack? You should know that even an ordinary God King Realm expert couldn’t withstand my attack just now. Why can you?" As Ye Lingtian spoke, he immediately turned his head towards Liu Wuxie, wanting to see if Liu Wuxie was secretly helping.

However, reality left him extremely disappointed.

Liu Wuxie looked at Ye Lingtian’s expression and said with a laugh:

"Hahaha, I told you to think twice and consider carefully, but you didn’t trust yourself. Since you don’t trust yourself, then you can only bear this matter yourself. Have a good time playing with this little friend."

Upon hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, Ye Lingtian still felt that there was something fishy about the matter, and he simply wouldn’t believe it.

He single-handedly etched complex runes in the void, each rune containing extremely powerful energy, as if it were stored within the rune, just waiting to erupt.

Liu Wuxie saw this scene and said:

"Can’t you wait to start using it?"

Wang Yufan watched Ye Lingtian perform, shaking his head and saying:

"Perhaps sealing your cultivation was the greatest gift to you, but now I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to cripple your cultivation. I truly didn’t expect you to use the vital essence of a thousand infants to practice this secret technique. You should know, having cultivated to the God Emperor Realm, that this goes against the heavens. Even if you succeed, your future path will be blocked."
