It seemed that a Prodigy from the black calamity bounty list might have appeared.
The expressions of all the Prodigies present were solemn.
An elder, sensing the Prodigies' worries, then said,
"However, don't worry, we will also find a way."
"News from this place will be transmitted, and perhaps a group of powerful reinforcements can be invited to assist."
Although there were Prodigies from Imperial Clans like Jun Xiaoyao, Yun Xuanxu, and Xiahou Divine Treasure,
and also Prodigies from the Three Teachings like Vatican Green Lamp,
no matter how strong these individuals were, it was impossible for them to deal with all the Ba Clan Prodigies.
Facing those Prodigies on the black calamity bounty list was even more uncertain.
Therefore, inviting some powerful reinforcements was not a bad way to compensate.
Of course, these invited powerful reinforcements could at most be at the Chaos Dao Venerable Realm.
Those beyond the Chaos Dao Venerable Realm could not join the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, the Prodigies present relaxed slightly, but their eyes still showed worry.
Even with powerful reinforcements joining, their situation was still not good, and there would be great danger.
Moreover, there were already some Imperial Clan Prodigies and young kings present.
Where else could they invite powerful reinforcements from?
Many Prodigies felt that
the Prodigies present now, if not the most outstanding group in the Realm Within a Realm, were not far off.
Not to mention the absolute top-tier existence of Jun Xiaoyao.
Where else could they find stronger reinforcements?
"Could it be that people from there will come…"
Some Prodigies had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of a place.
If it was from there, then a group of elite core members might indeed come to support them.
After this, the Prodigies also began to prepare.
Some elders even acted as teachers, starting to lecture and discuss the Dao with these Prodigies.
At the same time, they told them some experiences and weaknesses in fighting the Ba Clan.
Although it felt a bit like a last-minute effort, there was no other way.
Even a small increase in the winning rate could potentially save a young life.
Moreover, this also concerned morale; if they were suppressed and defeated,
the morale of the entire East Ridge Pass would also be affected.
However, not all Prodigies needed to make last-minute efforts.
Jun Xiaoyao sat alone in his residence.
He was very calm and composed.
For him, this battle was merely a means to gain merit, nothing more.
A month's time, for a Cultivator, was but a flick of a finger, fleeting in an instant.
Soon, the day of the Convention battle arrived.
The Prodigies of East Ridge Pass were about to fight the Ba Clan Prodigies.
And this battle, unlike before, would see the appearance of incredibly monstrous Ba Clan Prodigies.
There might even be peerless figures from the black calamity bounty list!
So this battle was very heavy for the Prodigies of East Ridge Pass, concerning life and death.
However, no one retreated now.
If they were to be timid and retreat at this time, their reputation would be completely ruined, and they would have no face to stand in the Realm Within a Realm in the future.
The Prodigies who came here for training all harbored the dream of making a name for themselves in the Realm Within a Realm; how could they ruin their reputation like this?
Soon, on the majestic and wide city walls of the Three Emperors Barrier,
a group of Prodigies gathered and had all arrived.
Jun Xiaoyao also came; his expression was indifferent, forming a stark contrast with the apprehension of some Prodigies.
"Didn't they say there would be powerful reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Are we supposed to face them ourselves?"
Some Prodigies were discussing.
Although the arrival of powerful reinforcements might not save all their lives,
having help was better than having none, and it could also alleviate some pressure.
"Don't worry, they should be arriving soon," an elder said.
Just as he finished speaking,
in the distant Void Realm, the light of a teleportation array lit up.
A group of extraordinary individuals stepped out from it, their aura profound, their gazes arrogant.
There weren't many people, only about a dozen or so.
But each of them had a very strong aura; the weakest was also at the Creation God Venerable Realm.
They were generally a notch higher than the Prodigies of the Realm Within a Realm.
Of course, strictly speaking, in terms of age, they were also quite a bit older than the current Prodigies of the Realm Within a Realm.
But for Cultivators, they could still be categorized as the younger generation, not the older generation.
"They are…"
Some Prodigies showed a look of realization.
As they had guessed, the powerful reinforcements came from that place.
"They come from the Realm Within a Realm, they are young generals from the Human Emperor Palace and the Earth Emperor Palace, willing to lend a helping hand and assist in this great war," an elder said.
"Realm Within a Realm…"
Upon hearing this name, many Prodigies' eyes showed longing.
After all, that place could be said to be one of the most famous places in the Realm Within a Realm.
The Three Emperors were also well-known.
However, people from the Realm Within a Realm generally did not go to other parts of the Realm Within a Realm, so they were rarely seen.
The dozen or so young generals from the Realm Within a Realm descended to the city wall.
They were both male and female, all clad in armor and holding Sharp Weapons.
The males were dashing, and the females were heroic.
However, many of them had indifferent attitudes, and when they saw the people present, they had no intention of greeting them.
They carried a sense of arrogance and coldness, as if they were descending saviors, looking down on everyone.
"Friends from the Realm Within a Realm, thank you for coming to lend a helping hand."
Some Prodigies proactively stepped forward to communicate, with a hint of flattery.
It was not bad to be able to connect with people from the Realm Within a Realm.
However, one of the young generals completely ignored them.
This made that Prodigy a bit awkward.
Then, another Imperial Clan Prodigy stepped out and said,
"Fellow Daoists from the Realm Within a Realm, with your help, it's like adding wings to a tiger; it seems this scheduled battle is stable for us."
This Imperial Clan Prodigy proactively showed goodwill, wanting to ease the atmosphere.
After all, they would be fighting side by side on the same battlefield later.
Seeing the Imperial Clan Prodigy speak, one young general finally spoke, but his words were very sharp.
"We came here to save you, to prevent you from being completely annihilated by the Ba Clan and affecting the morale of our Realm Within a Realm."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Prodigies present changed.
Even the Imperial Clan Prodigies frowned.
The people from the Realm Within a Realm were too arrogant!
Even Xiahou Divine Treasure and others frowned.
However, no one dared to say anything more proactively, much less refute these young generals from the Realm Within a Realm.
After all, they were indeed a powerful reinforcement, the main force against those Prodigies on the bounty list.
If they offended them and they left in a fit of pique, the outcome would be even worse.
So the Prodigies present could only swallow their anger.
"Hmph, a mere scheduled battle actually requires our assistance."
"The younger generation of the Realm Within a Realm nowadays is truly worse than the last."
Some generals exchanged words, with disdain in their tone.
It was as if their Realm Within a Realm and the Realm Within a Realm were not the same world.
Some young generals even looked at Jun Xiaoyao with a hint of scrutiny.
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao knew that some of them might target him.
After all, he had had friction with the Human Emperor Palace and the Earth Emperor Palace, and their relationship was definitely not good.
And Jun Xiaoyao would not accommodate these arrogant generals.
"They are merely a group of frogs in a well, do they really consider themselves saviors?"
"Your Realm Within a Realm is merely one of the myriad worlds in the Realm Within a Realm, what's so special about it?"
Upon hearing these words, the entire place fell silent.
All gazes turned to Jun Xiaoyao.
Only Jun Xiaoyao had the status and the qualification to say such words to the people from the Realm Within a Realm.
Because he had once crushed the successor of the Human Emperor Palace!
