Somewhere in a distant land, the stars of the night shone brightly, as a myriad of colorful lights illuminated the vast sky across its endless horizon. If one looked carefully, they would see a few special stars, each with their unique traits, some with a vibrant hue, and others shining in a duller tone.

On top of a huge mountain, a young man stood as he gazed at these strange stars in the night, his eyes were fixed on a lone bright red star giving off a brilliant kind of energy. It seemed as if this star was the source of eternity itself as no other stellar stars within the cosmos were located in its vicinity.

A look of longing came across the face of the young man as he reached his hand out as if to try and pick this star from the night sky itself, as he spoke in a soft voice, "The Eternal Star... "

After a while, Xiang Fang slowly started to remove his vision from the star. However, as he was about to continue his journey, his eyes couldn't help but stop at a very dull star, which also occupied a quiet and remote corner of the starry cosmos. It was a dead star seeming to have been forgotten by all, including the universe itself.

"A destined trash will always be destined trash..." He said with a trace of mock upon his face, but soon his gaze became filled with shock.

Instantly, a strange color started to glow from that star, filling it with a life of its own, it now emitted a lonely but noble prestige, one that remained determined to walk its path of loneliness even to the ends of time itself.

Xiang Fang looked at this star in shock as a wave of anger and curiosity filled his mind. He gripped his fists tightly and shouted at the night sky.

"Who did it? Who changed his fate?" His voice echoed throughout the world, filling the region with a dark aura that continued to spread for hundreds of kilometers, soon after fading into the darkness of the night.

Within the Chosen Battle Arena, on the golden square battle platform.

Two forms faced each other with different expressions, as the figure on the left looked at the figure on the right with an arrogant and disdainful expression. At the same time, the latter merely observed with a strangely indifferent and cloudy smile.

"Nothing but trash from a small-time family clan, get down from the platform!" Xuan Bei commanded as he looked at Xiang Shu with unhindered disdain.

As the spectators heard this, they couldn't help but mock in disdain.

"Haha! The prince doesn't even want to waste time-fighting such a small-time character!" An individual said.

"Xiang Shu should just give up now; he's not like his older brother, there is no way he will be capable of handling Crown Prince Xuan Bei!" A Machen Town local practitioner said.

As the practitioners continued to discuss among themselves, Xiang Shu finally spoke, "Hehehe! Xuan Clan's Young Master, I wonder what will happen if a kingdom loses its prince?"

Xiang Shu asked in a creepy and dark tone, Xuan Bei looked at Xiang Shu in surprise for a moment before a fierce light begun to shine in his eyes.

Xiang Tian was stunned as a look of shock appeared on his face, as Xuan Lie and Madam Xuan looked towards Xiang Shu with a sharp light.

"Hahaha! This has got to be the funniest thing I've heard in a very long time! You, Xiang Shu, certainly are quite the comedian!" As Xuan Bei said this, he couldn't help putting on a mocking expression his face as he spoke once more.

"Tell me! Is your brother also the same? The so-called genius of the Xiang Clan never seen in a hundred years who just so happened to run away after gaining his title 10 years ago!" Xuan Bei said with a sneering expression.

As Xiang Shu heard Xiang Fang being mentioned, a sudden and strange emotion soon erupted from deep within his entire being, quickly a look of struggle could be seen on his face before promptly returning to his previous indifferent expression.

He looked at Xuan Bei and spoke, "That's enough, chatter! It is time for you to accept your demise..."

As he said this, he quickly assumed a strange posture as the winds in the surrounding environment flowed towards his form....
