Suddenly, boiling flames blazed, evaporating the azure water.
Palace Mistress Yao's gaze sharpened. She raised her hand, and the Azure Water Unharmed Sword appeared.
"The Azure Water Unharmed Sword? Are you Palace Mistress Yao?" A surprised voice rang out. Flames burned across the heavens, twisting the starry sky, as a figure emerged, bringing immense pressure that swept across the firmament.
Everyone watching from nearby held their breath.
"Th-that's Qin?"
"What? That old monster Qin? The one who fought Bao Qi Sangtian? He's still alive?"
"He's actually still alive..."
No one had expected Qin to still be alive.
Back then, he had struck Bao Qi with a single move, nearly costing Bao Qi his chance to become a Sangtian. In that battle, however, he had also been buried by Bao Qi's Sound Sequence. Everyone had assumed he was dead, but unexpectedly, he had survived.
Azure water pressed down around Palace Mistress Yao, trying to suppress the flames.
"Palace Mistress Yao, how did you know I was here? And why did you attack me?" Qin's voice was low. Flames burned in layers around him, like a red land that kept spreading, forcing Palace Mistress Yao backward.
She was known as the strongest person beneath the Sangtian—but that was only because these old monsters had stayed out of sight.
Many had competed for the Sangtian position, but few had left a lasting impression.
Competing for the Sangtian position didn't mean someone had actually come close to claiming it.
Some only competed for fame. Three-Headed Corpse was one example, as was the Divine Reflection expert from Ten Thousand Beast Territory. Since that expert was Divine Reflection Wu Huang, he had already placed himself beneath Wu Huang. His public bid for the Sangtian position was merely a way to raise Ten Thousand Beast Territory's standing
