Bradic

"Ignis, do you want to become a god?" Under the moonlight, Luo Ya smiled.

The Hellfire Phoenix Ignis, who had shrunk down to the size of a chicken, suddenly widened his eyes until they were round as saucers. Every feather on his body stood on end as he stared at Luo Ya in shock. "M-Master? You mean... me?"

Although Ignis was a magical pet Luo Ya had personally subdued, over the years he had only occasionally served as a mount and had never done anything particularly noteworthy. He had never imagined he would be the first to receive a Godhead.

I, Ignis, am about to become a god?

Ignis felt dazed, his head spinning.

"That's right. A Godhead." Luo Ya beamed.

With a flick of his finger, a black Godhead radiating a dark glow appeared before Ignis. Ignis stared at it, holding his breath as all his attention was drawn to it in an instant.

In the world of magical beasts, the strong had always ruled.

Almost every Saint Realm magical beast dreamed of reaching godhood one day!

A god-level magical beast stood at the pinnacle of them all!

"I..." Ignis still hadn't quite processed what was happening.

"What, you don't want it?" Luo Ya teased with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!" Ignis bowed deeply with all the reverence he could muster in his beast form, then reverently took the Godhead in his beak.

Although refining a Godhead came with all sorts of drawbacks, Ignis knew his own talent well. Under normal circumstances, he might never become a god in his entire life.

If he could become a god now, what was there to complain about?

He could only say he was lucky to have found such a good master.

Seeing Ignis receive a Godhead, the other magical beasts present began breathing heavily.

They simply couldn't resist the temptation of becoming gods!

"This Fire Godhead should go to Aoni. What do you think, Milia?" Luo Ya toyed with a Godhead glowing red in his hand and looked at Milia with a smile.

"Aoni? I think she's a good choice." Milia turned her lovely face to him, considered it briefly, then nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Ya and Master, for your generous gift!" Black Dragon Queen Aoni's tail trembled with excitement. Barely a meter long, she shakily reached out a claw and caught the Lowgod Fire Godhead Luo Ya tossed her.

Although Aoni was known as the Black Dragon Queen, the Black Dragon clan had only middling potential. For her to stand out and reach the Saint Realm was already a stroke of incredible luck.

Become a god? She hadn't even dared dream of it before.

After granting Godheads to two Saint Realm magical pets, Luo Ya put the remaining two away.

The other three Saint Realm magical beasts stared at them longingly. They wanted to ask for one, but didn't know how to bring it up.

Luo Ya noticed their fervent gazes, but had no intention of handing out any more Godheads.

One of the two remaining Godheads was being held in reserve for Karen and his wife. The other was a precaution against a situation where the master was weaker than his servants.

If the master hadn't become a god yet while the magical beasts under him already had, they might develop rebellious thoughts. That wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.

The journey from Thunder Sacred Mountain to Wind Forbidden Island, beyond the western edge of the Western Continent, spanned at least thirty million miles.

Even with the flight speed of a Midgod like Bradic, it had taken quite some time to reach the waters outside Wind Forbidden Island in person.

High above the azure sea, Bradic transformed into a humanoid bolt of lightning, just like the bald young man Qinuo had before him.

Through the searing white light, one could make out a silver-haired young man over two meters tall, yet exceedingly slender.

Bradic gazed coldly ahead with his green eyes. "His body is astonishingly strong, and he took Kenny's soul attack head-on without suffering any obvious injuries. This servant... is incredible!"

Once he and this servant had both grown into Highgods, they might even be able to venture into the Supreme Plane, where the strongest gathered!

As his chilly muttering echoed, the searing white lightning drew closer to Wind Forbidden Island.

In a small house built beside Jingshui Lake, Luo Ya was quietly cultivating.

"Still not here?" Luo Ya abruptly opened his eyes, ending his latest cultivation session, then took a small sip of the fruit wine on the table.

He was waiting for Bradic to arrive.

Bradic was the name the "Thunder God" used publicly.

To wait for Bradic, he had deliberately stayed outside the Plane Secret Room these past few days.

If the man refused to show himself, Luo Ya would have to settle things by going to him personally later.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. Luo Ya finally sensed an unfamiliar divine sense descend, instantly covering the entire rear mountain.

The strength of this divine sense was clearly a full level above a Lowgod's. It belonged to a Midgod, which made it almost certain that Bradic had arrived.

Under normal circumstances, a Lowgod couldn't detect a Midgod's divine sense. But Luo Ya was clearly one of those exceptions.

"Finally here?" Luo Ya still made no unnecessary movements.

After a while, when Bradic was almost at the rear mountain, Luo Ya finally moved!

He shot upward at astonishing speed, heading straight for the silver-haired young man within the range of his divine sense!

"He can actually sense me?!" When Bradic saw Luo Ya speeding toward him, he was immediately shocked.

Could the other man already be a Midgod?

Bradic could hardly believe it. He knew the few Midgods in the Valen Plane better than anyone. When had another powerful Midgod who cultivated the Laws of Darkness appeared?

And he had already confirmed that the black-haired young man was named Luo Ya and had only just become a Lowgod.

A Lowgod with such heaven-defying strength had to have awakened an astonishingly powerful bloodline!

He had made this arduous trip precisely because he didn't want to miss out on a talent like this.

But now it seemed unclear who was the hunter and who was the prey.

"Luo Ya?!" The deep, rumbling question rang out above the rear mountain of Wind Forbidden Island, like the Thunder God's furious roar.

"Are you Bradic?" Luo Ya curiously studied the man before him. He was unnaturally slender, with a pair of cold, green, triangular eyes. He looked like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"What's going on?" Across Wind Forbidden Island, countless residents looked up in confusion. They could just make out two "Saint Realm" powerhouses facing off above the rear mountain behind the City Lord Mansion!

"That's... a god-level powerhouse!" Only the few Saint Realm powerhouses living on the island knew that these weren't two Saint Realm experts at all. They were god-level powerhouses!

And when they saw Bradic's unmistakable appearance, they quickly recognized which god he was.

"The Th... Thunder God!" The red-faced old man Thompson stammered out the name, his heart shaking with shock!

The Thunder God was the Sovereign of the entire Western Continent!

Even the other god-level powerhouses addressed the Thunder God respectfully as "Lord."

Luo Ya had only just become a god... How had he managed to provoke the Thunder God?

The mortals all looked forward to an exciting "Saint Realm battle," while Thompson and the other Saint Realm experts felt uneasy, afraid the Thunder God might settle accounts with them too.

With different thoughts filling their minds, everyone on Wind Forbidden Island looked up at the scene about to unfold.
