Ye Fan and the others waited anxiously atop the Five-Colored Altar for the outcome at Great Thunderclap Temple. Although they had no idea where the child who had appeared on Jade Emperor Peak had come from, compared with the demon sealed by the Buddha, they still hoped even more that the mysterious child would win.
Time passed second by second. Suddenly, the rustling sound of something tearing through the air swept over from afar. Bursts of blood rain exploded in midair, and countless bizarre creatures—small Divine Crocodiles resembling the earlier Divine Crocodile, but only about half a meter long—continually fell onto the Five-Colored Altar.
Threads of strange blood seeped into the Five-Colored Altar, and light began to flicker across it. Ye Fan and the others were extremely excited at the sight. There was no life at all on Ying Huo. If they could not leave, they would eventually perish even without the Divine Crocodiles.
A figure flew over from the horizon in a rainbow of light and slowly descended onto the Five-Colored Altar. He was immaculate, surrounded by a halo, and seemed utterly unlike anyone from the mortal world—transcendent and otherworldly, like an immortal among men.
"Sir!"
After exchanging a glance with Pang Bo, Ye Fan cautiously walked over and cupped his hands toward Gu Sheng.
"You need something?"
Gu Sheng glanced sideways at Ye Fan, remaining calm in the face of his respect. Ye Hei was black through and through once you cut him open, and he was also the Chosen One of this era. If Gu Sheng made him a companion or backer, he could be dragged into danger at any moment. Gu Sheng wanted absolutely nothing to do with that sort of trouble.
"Uh, I was wondering... what was that just now?"
Ye Fan was somewhat speechless.
