"What?"
"Who was that?"
None of the dozens of God Lords present had expected someone to really charge out at such a critical moment—and to suppress the Sea Quelling God King with a single move. They were all utterly stunned.
"Was that a God King?"
The God Lords all looked up at the ancient Divine Gate above the Divine Array. It was archaic and towering, as though its end could not be seen even by raising one's head. Their hearts trembled.
They instinctively assumed that anyone wielding such a supreme treasure had to be a God King.
But when they saw Li Yun clearly, they were all dumbfounded.
"Not a God King?"
"Seems like it's him?"
"Who?"
Some of the God Lords present had yet to react.
"Who else could it be? The one rumored to have taken out Sky Dome God King's subordinate. Only, his female companion is gone. Who knows where she went!"
"What? It was actually him?"
"Bastard, it's all this guy's fault! Didn't he bring the Sea Quelling God King down on us? Damn him! Since he caused this disaster, let him bear it himself. Let's go..."
Several injured God Lords who had long wanted to flee the Ancient Battlefield seized upon this excuse without hesitation and turned to leave.
The moment they left, the Divine Array immediately collapsed.
Without the Divine Array's restraint, the Sea Quelling God King's pressure lessened. Roaring furiously, he forced himself back to his feet beneath the Supreme Immortal Gate's divine might.
"Fuck..."
The God Lords who had not yet fled all began cursing at once.
But what use was cursing at a time like this?
When the fleeing God Lords saw the Sea Quelling God King rise again, they were already scared out of their wits and fled even faster.
