Heavenly Sovereign Reappears
Those powerful figures kneeling on the ground stared at the young figure in disbelief.
The shock and terror they felt when someone who could be manipulated at will suddenly become Heavenly Sovereign was something outsiders could hardly comprehend.
In the sky, the True Monarch Ziyun and the others, who were barely holding on, turned deathly pale when they thought that the Heavenly Sovereign still dared to attack them. Cold sweat poured down their faces like a waterfall.
Although they claim to be only half a step away from becoming Heavenly Sovereign, it's important to know how many years it has been since they last took that half step!
It was precisely because they were only half a step away from the Heavenly Sovereign that they were very clear about how terrifying the Heavenly Sovereign was. Dealing with them would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.
Gurgle.
"Emperor Sovereign..."
True Monarch Ziyun swallowed hard, about to beg for mercy and mention True Person Ziqi as his backer, hoping that the other party would spare his life out of consideration for their shared status as Heavenly Sovereign.
However, he was interrupted by a low growl before he could utter two words. Fearing that he would be beaten to death if he was too slow to beg for mercy, True Monarch Ziyun was extremely angry and glared at the person who roared.
This glare revealed that Huo Mo's eyes were wide open in anger, his hands respectfully holding a fiery red jade pendant. Then, he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence that landed on the jade pendant.
"Old Ancestor, save me!"
Buzzing.
As the essence blood fell, the fiery red jade pendant suddenly erupted with an overwhelming burst of flames. Within those flames, there was also an extremely terrifying Aura, an Aura that seemed to dominate and rule.
"It's the Aura of Heavenly Sovereign again! Has this kid gone mad? He's started a battle Heavenly Sovereign; the aftershocks alone could kill him!"
True Monarch Ziyun cursed inwardly. He didn't even need to guess to know that Huo Mo had definitely invited the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor. The Fire Spirit Old Ancestor had been Heavenly Sovereign for tens of thousands of years and was not an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign, but it was absolutely impossible for him to personally descend in this situation.
At most, he can only create one clone, and how much can a single clone withstand from the true body of Heavenly Sovereign?
If the Heavenly Sovereign were to fight, the entire Merchant Continent would crumble. In that situation, could the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor protect him?
Stop joking.
Moreover, in the brief moment that the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor descended, the young Supreme being opposite him could easily crush him, and might even crush them in the process.
Thinking this, True Monarch Ziyun glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the young Heavenly Sovereign's brows furrowed slightly. Then he felt an overwhelming sense of pressure, several times stronger than before, sweep over him.
"This idiot is really going to kill me!" True Monarch Ziyun roared inwardly. Then he could no longer hold on and with a thud, he and the other five fell from the sky like birds with broken wings, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a small crater dozens of feet in size.
Puff!
The True Monarch Ziyun and his companions, whose strength Touching Heavenly Sovereign, were unharmed except for seeing stars after the fall.
Huo Mo was no match for them, and even Elder Yan could not protect him at this moment. Under such immense pressure, his limbs twisted, blood flowed continuously from his ears and nose, and he let out a shrill howl.
Xiao Ming ignored the plight of these people, his gaze fixed silently on the fiery red jade pendant.
Beside him, Qing Yanjing stepped forward and whispered, "As far as I know, Fire Spirit Old Ancestor has been Heavenly Sovereign for ten thousand years. He is now at least Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign. That's why True Monarch Ziyun and the others were so concerned about Huo Mo's threat before. The Heavenly Sovereign behind them are only Spirit Grade."
Xiao Ming nodded calmly. "If the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor were to descend in his true form, it would be troublesome, but an avatar is nothing. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Qing Yanjing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I believe you."
Her beautiful smile was so captivating that it made one's eyes light up, and one felt an irresistible urge to pull her into one's arms.
Xiao Ming also smiled, then raised his head, squinting at the fiery red jade pendant, where flames spread and finally a red light slowly condensed.
In the sky, a fiery red figure stood with his hands behind his back. His red hair burned like flames. Although he looked old and his eyes held endless vicissitudes, his skin was as smooth as a baby's.
Of course, the awe-inspiring presence emanating from him was even more befitting of his status.
Those powerful figures who were slamming their hands on the ground or kneeling on the ground felt this oppressive aura and trembled in fear, wishing they could strangle Huo Mo.
A supreme being like the Heavenly Sovereign would never care about insignificant figures like them. They might have been released after kowtowing a few times before, but now another Heavenly Sovereign has been summoned. If a fight really breaks out, they are truly doomed.
Unfortunately, no matter what they think now, Xiao Ming had already given them a chance, which they failed to seize, and now they have to suffer the consequences.
If you lack the strength, you cannot truly control your own destiny.
As soon as the light and shadow appeared, his gaze fell upon Huo Mo, and then a grand and furious voice boomed throughout the world.
"Who did this?!"
At this point, Huo Mo had already been suppressed to the point of being delirious, so he was in no condition to reply. Seeing this, Elder Yan could only shout out.
"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, it was done by that Heavenly Sovereign on the other side!"
"Hmm?" The Fire Spirit Old Ancestor had actually noticed Xiao Ming and realized that this matter was related to him. After all, the terrifying pressure of the other party, who was truly Supreme, could not be ignored. However, he still needed to confirm the details.
Having received a positive answer, the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor could not remain silent for a moment. He suppressed his shock and anger and looked at Xiao Ming.
After carefully observing the other party, the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor formed a preliminary impression of Xiao Ming: young, powerful, energetic, and someone he didn't recognize.
"I am the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor. May I ask your name?" The Fire Spirit Old Ancestor frowned as he realized the situation was troublesome and said loudly.
"Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Ming."
Unlike the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor's serious demeanor, Xiao Ming revealed a slightly lazy smile.
Heavenly Emperor?
This somewhat domineering nickname first brought to mind the name of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor in the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor's mind, but he quickly came to his senses. This person was so young, of course he couldn't be the Ancient Heavenly Emperor. It was probably just a coincidence. In the Great Thousand World, all sorts of people are mixed together, and it's not uncommon for names to collide.
"So it was the Heavenly Emperor himself. I wonder how my clansman offended the Heavenly Emperor, causing you to use such severe measures."
"Heavy blows?"
Xiao Ming had no interest in explaining. He was already showing good temper by not slapping everyone to death; this was just a minor punishment.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was not giving him face, the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor looked somewhat dissatisfied and had no choice but to turn to Elder Yan. With the latter's detailed explanation, he soon understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"What an unfilial son! He acts recklessly just because he has some talent and powerful backing!"
After learning what had happened, the Fire Spirit Old Ancestor really wanted to slap Huo Mo. He was blind; of all people to rob, he had to go and rob the Heavenly Sovereign.
If it weren't for the Fire Spirit Race's recent talent shortage, with all the Heavenly Sovereign except for himself perishing and needing to cultivate successors, and the fact that the Fire Spirit Race couldn't afford to lose face, he truly wouldn't want to get involved in such a disgraceful matter.
