Li Tianming returned to the Myriad Emperors Palace, with Huansheng following close behind. The two streaks of golden light dissipated one after another, revealing their figures.
Huansheng's identical-faced counterpart, Annihilation, had long been waiting there. She stepped forward and pulled away the dark-faced Huansheng.
Huansheng turned back with an icy expression. "Li Tianming, just you wait. This isn't over."
"Senior Brother, you keep saying things no one can understand. We've fought twice already—what is there left to settle? Or is Junior Brother's strength still not enough to satisfy you?" Li Tianming chuckled.
Those words pierced Huansheng's heart like sharp swords, twisting his face into something even more savage and ferocious.
No matter what, he had still lost even after casting martial virtue aside!
This was the greatest humiliation of his life.

Huansheng turned his head and snapped, "Why are you apologizing to him?"
Annihilation glared at him. "Shut up! Say one more word, and I'll have Grandpa deal with you."
At those words, Huansheng finally fell silent, though he was visibly sulking.
It seemed that although Huansheng was somewhat inexplicable, the girl before him did not appear hostile. Li Tianming replied politely, "Senior Sister needn't take it to heart. I wasn't hurt. Rather, I failed to hold back and injured Senior Brother. I feel somewhat guilty as well."
"He was simply inferior in skill. There's nothing more to say." Annihilation spoke indifferently, then glared at Huansheng again.
Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Look at his bearing, then look at yourself."
Huansheng's face darkened. The more he looked at Li Tianming, the
