One King, Three Generals
"I hereby declare the champion of this year 'Thunder Competition to be..."
Amidst cheers from the heavens, Mo Luo, who had ascended into the sky, announced the words one by one.
"Boom!!!"
The heavens and earth suddenly trembled, and a large area of the void shattered like a mirror. A dark hand, tens of thousands of feet long, moved with lightning speed from the enormous spatial rift and headed straight for the Boundless Mirror that was suspended in mid-air.
"Hand over the Thunder Ancestral Symbol!"
As the almost dreamlike murmur faded, the colossal hand, wreathed in Alien Demonic Qi, shattered the void and arrived. The Boundless Mirror, which shone with brilliance, trembled wildly as if startled, with nowhere to escape.
"Heh, finally couldn't hold back anymore?"
Mo Luo suddenly raised his head, the ancient Flame rune between his brows flashing wildly, and a large hand that had quietly transformed into a crystalline color reached out and clenched down.
The Origin Energy between heaven and earth suddenly went berserk, and the dense fire-attribute particles became more active than ever before. The raging crimson tide rapidly compressed into a ten-thousand-foot-long Flame hand that surged upwards and collided violently with the enormous Demonic Qi hand.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The two completely different forces, Flame and Alien Demonic Qi, quickly intertwined, frantically eroding each other, before both dissolving into the air.
"Everyone, listen up! Get on camera immediately!"
Taking advantage of this opening, Mo Luo once again waved his sleeve, and the Boundless Mirror, which was ten thousand feet long, was immediately turned upside down, pouring out all the contestants inside at an extremely fast speed.
"The opportunity is to first retrieve the Origin Power of the Thunder Ancestral Symbol at the mountain peak and perfect it."
Inside the Boundless Mirror, Lin Dong immediately broke free from its pull, activated the Space Ancestral Symbol, and headed straight for the mountain peak. After retrieving the Origin Power, he then left.
Outside world.
"Buzz!"
Endless Demonic Qi poured out from the narrow spatial rift like a tide, writhing and rising, condensing into a Darkness Throne that hung high in the Nine Heavens.
"Hehe, Mo Luo, you really have a lot of nerve, daring to obstruct our Demon Prison's work. It seems you don't want your Flame God Hall anymore."
The moment the Darkness Throne took shape, a Purple Robe Figure appeared. The man had purple hair and eyes, and his appearance was no different from that of an ordinary person; he was quite handsome.
However, the pair of enormous, purple-gold bat wings on his back, constantly radiating world-destroying energy, silently reminded everyone: he was no human!
Beneath the throne, three other tall, Demonic Shadow stood with their hands hanging down.
The three Demonic Shadow figures were even more robust, with their backs covered in dense, sharp barbs extending from their Black Demon, and their faces and wings were covered with golden patterns.
Compared to the Purple Robe Figure on the throne, the three Demonic Shadow figures appeared more rugged, but their auras were noticeably weaker. Even so, they were still far superior to ordinary Human Race Samsara Stage experts.
"Destroy my Flame God Hall? In the long past, I, Mo Luo, have heard too many such boasts, and I have killed all those who have uttered such boasts."
Mo Luo stepped forward without changing his expression, confronting the figure on the throne from afar, blocking the overwhelming demonic power that filled the entire world.
"All powerhouses of the Flame God Hall, heed my command: immediately activate the palace's protective formation!"
Above the Flame God Hall, the graceful figure who had just flown out of the Boundless Mirror Immediately began to urgently exercise her duties as the commander of the Flame God Hall.
The most urgent task is to activate the protective array to cover Fire Flame City and ensure that the centuries-old foundation of the Flame God Hall is not destroyed in the war.
"Yes!"
A deafening roar resounded in unison, and countless beams of light almost simultaneously rose from every corner of the vast city, injecting energy into the Great Master nodes buried deep beneath this magnificent city.
"Buzz! Boom!"
An endless crimson light curtain illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the entire Fire Flame City trembled violently. A sky-filling light array tens of thousands of feet long immediately shot into the sky, firmly protecting the huge city below.
As the light array wriggled and contracted, it brewed an extremely terrifying fluctuation of Origin Energy, causing large areas of space to distort and change. Even a powerhouse at the first level of the Samsara Stage would never dare to easily touch this extremely dangerous ancient array.
It's not over yet!
"Where are the Fire God Guard?!"
Tang Xinlian, clad in crimson soft armor, suddenly thrust her crimson spear into the air and solemnly shouted.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A violent whooshing sound rang out as over a thousand warriors clad in Crimson Armor, wielding crimson spears, continuously converged behind the red-clad figure. Each and every one of them had actually stepped into the Life Mysterious Stage Realm.
"Where are the Elder Council of the Flame God Hall?!"
As the icy shout fell, the space immediately began to distort, and more than thirty elderly figures, their bodies shrouded in dense death energy, quietly emerged and gathered behind Tang Xinlian.
Four at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion, thirteen at the Death Mysterious Stage, Major Achievement, and twenty at the Death Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement —this is the true foundation of the Flame God Hall's dominance over the Flame Sea Region.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Heavenly Underworld King of the Underworld. These are my Three Great Demonic Generals: the Wolf Demon, the Lion Demon, and the Tiger Demon. I have heard that the Flame God Hall possesses Thunder Ancestral Symbol, so I have come today to request it."
The purple-robed man sitting high on the throne seemed completely oblivious to the actions below, or perhaps he simply didn't care, his hands clasped together in front of his chest.
"One king and three generals? You really value me, Mo Luo. But I'll say it again: if you want the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, then you'll have to pay with your lives."
Seeing Tang Xinlian lead the group to activate the temple's protective formation, Mo Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He could at least minimize the losses, since the battlefield was right in his Flame God Hall headquarters, where all the essence of his power was located. One wrong move and the entire force would collapse.
"Take my life in exchange? You're just a junior who hasn't even stepped into the Reincarnation. So what if you wield the Flame Ancestral Symbol? My Three Great Demonic Generals are enough to stop you. You're not worthy of my intervention."
"If I were you, I would obediently hand over the Thunder Ancestral Symbol."
The man in purple robes, or rather, the Heavenly Underworld King, scoffed upon hearing this.
"Really? How about this?"
Mo Luo remained calm, casually clapping his hands in mid-air.
With a series of crisp slapping sounds, the space rippled rapidly, and three mysterious figures appeared one after another in this world: one with red hair, one in a blue robe, and one in Green Shirt.
"Great Elder Chi Yun of the Flame God Hall, this Great Master at the Samsara Stage has finally appeared."
"Is that Mu Lan, the Third Elder of the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe? He is a top-tier Samsara Stage expert who has touched the cycle of Reincarnation. I didn't expect that Hall Master Mo Luo could even persuade him to join the effort."
"And who was that last Green Shirt Man? Such a distinguished figure, why don't we remember him at all?!"
The appearance of the three figures immediately drew gasps of surprise from the powerful figures in the world.
The Heavenly Underworld King remained indifferent to the appearance of Great Elder Chi Yun Mu Lan, but he suddenly stood up from his throne when the last figure in Green Shirt appeared.
"Qing Zhi, it's you?!"
A deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
