The entire place fell silent!
It was as if someone had pressed a pause button, the void seemed to have solidified.
From the moment of the encounter until now, it had been no more than a quarter of an hour, yet in such a short time, the outcome had already been decided!
It was truly astonishing.
Because this wasn't an ordinary low-realm martial artist's clash; to determine victory or even life and death in a flash, this was a battle at the Fifth Realm, the True Master Realm.
For True Masters with similar strength, it's hard to tell the better even in half an hour or even an hour, and Chen Yuan achieved victory so quickly.
It only proved one thing.
The difference in strength between them was vast!
If it was a single martial artist, perhaps it wouldn't be so shocking, as Chen Yuan's combat power was well-known in the world, and being unbeatable in the same realm, his victory was no surprise.
Yet, his opponents were a duo, and both were not just ordinary Primordial Spirits, but could be considered veteran strong Primordial Spirits!
But, even so, under the mighty momentum of Chen Yuan, aside from their initial confrontation, all the remaining time was spent seeking self-preservation.
The Heavenly Patrol Envoys from the Capital Headquarters, watching at that moment, had only one thought.
Chen Yuan truly deserved to be called invincible!
Wu Tianxi and Zuo Tiancheng let out a breath, a trace of conclusion passing through their eyes.
Just before, when Chen Yuan suggested Ying Hong and Wen Liang join together, they even felt a bit fortunate, speculating that Chen Yuan might be too arrogant.
Now they realized, it wasn't arrogance at all.
It was confidence, a strong inner confidence!
The Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon, such astounding Martial Arts True Intent.
Ying Hong and Wen Liang's defeat was well deserved.
Zhang Yantong let go of the tension in his heart, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; fortunately, Chen Yuan did not lose, and not only that, he concluded this struggle thoroughly and exhilaratingly.
What a pity, if the Emperor hadn't intended to recruit him as a son-in-law, he would not have let go of this young man who was showing great potential, he even regretted it a little.
He should have arranged this marriage when Chen Yuan first arrived in the Capital.
Even forcing it a little would've been worth it.
Back then, he was already number one on the Hidden Dragon List, a peerless talent in the Ascension battle; although he thought this person's talent was good, he needed time to grow.
The current priority was to draw Jiang He to their camp.
But...
Before Jiang He was won over to the Zhang faction, this person had already surpassed him.
No one could have predicted this day.
While regretting, Zhang Yantong also felt a twinge of emotion.
He remembered that when he first met Chen Yuan, he was only at the Void Core Realm, and now in the blink of an eye, he almost caught up with him....
His cultivation level might be a bit lower, but the strength Chen Yuan had shown was close to reaching the Refining God level.
If given more time to grow, how far would he advance?
Zhang Yantong's mind wandered.
Xiao Jing, looking at the ground with its cobweb-like cracks, slowly shook his head, and when he turned his gaze toward Chen Yuan, his eyes appeared a bit dazed, as if... remembering an old, unforgettable scene.
So... similar.
"This person is qualified to be appointed as the Heavenly Divine Envoy."
Wu Tianxi suddenly spoke with a sigh.
Even though the person he supported wasn't Chen Yuan, witnessing his unparalleled demeanor, he had to admit that throughout the entire Heavenly Patrol Bureau, no one surpassed him.
Heavenly Divine Envoy, none but him!
Achievements, potential, strength, aside from his comparatively light experience, everything else was top-notch!
Given some more time, perhaps his strength and cultivation would catch up to the former Great Governor Xiao Jing.
"I concur,"
The matter of the Heavenly Divine Envoy was almost settled, what remained was the Emperor's decision, but given the Emperor's favor towards Chen Yuan, was this even an issue?
It would be better to do him this favor, like Wu Tianxi.
Three Divine Envoys jointly submitted a petition, asking His Majesty to confer Chen Yuan as the Heavenly Divine Envoy.
Zhang Yantong glanced at Wu Tianxi and Zuo Tiancheng, smiled but said nothing.
In the void, it was almost as silent as below.
Chen Yuan also focused on Wen Liang and Ying Hong not far away, without speaking, the Emperor Slaughter Saber was also not yet withdrawn into the Heavenly Book Space, waiting quietly for them to concede.
If they were still ignorant, he would not hold back.
A cold sweat formed on Wen Liang's face, as he truly feared Chen Yuan's strike just now; in his current state, even if he could block it, he would be severely injured.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan held back.
Ying Hong had the same thought, seeing Chen Yuan's calm eyes as deep as the sea, he let out a long breath, cupped his fists, and said:
"Marquis, your divine might is unparalleled, Ying Hong is unmatched, the Heavenly Divine Envoy position belongs without a doubt to the Marquis."
Wen Liang came to his senses and also cupped his fists, saying:
"Your saber intent is earth-shattering, Wen Liang is unmatched, Marquis Wu'an is truly invincible in the same realm."
Both expressed their concession at that moment.
Not just verbally, but they were almost convinced in their hearts as well.
Contending with such a person for the position of Heavenly Divine Envoy, it was they who were arrogant.
Seeing the two concede, Chen Yuan did not act arrogantly; with a thought, the edge of the Emperor Slaughter Saber retracted quickly, the light flashed, disappearing into the void, and his powerful aura gradually faded.
Looking at Ying Hong and Wen Liang, he smiled and cupped his hands:
"Your strength is also remarkable, thank you for going easy on me."
With the spar concluded, they walked step by step toward Xiao Jing and the other Divine Envoys.
"Great Governor, I am no match for Marquis Wu'an, I voluntarily withdraw."
"I am the same."
Wen Liang and Ying Hong quickly expressed.
Xiao Jing nodded approvingly, saying:
