Before the Reverence for Heaven Pavilion, all eyes turned as an old man in coarse cloth stepped forward. His aura was so plain and unremarkable that it put everyone on guard.
This old man was simply too ordinary—so ordinary that he inspired dread.
Had the old man been a Divine-Demonic Level expert, they would not have been nearly so shocked. In a place like this, the appearance of any expert would not have been strange.
Yet from the old man, they could barely sense any aura that a powerful expert ought to possess.
That was what made him most frightening. To conceal himself from everyone's perceptions—how could such an ability belong to an ordinary person?
High in the sky, within the multicolored glow, the Divine Court Master recovered from his shock and descended from the heavens.
Seeing the Divine Court Master, the old man smiled, bent his aged body, and said, "Greetings, Divine Master."
The Divine Court Master immediately stepped forward to help the old man up. "Mr. Heavenly Sovereign, there is no need for such courtesy."
At those words, everyone present was shaken.
Heavenly Sovereign!
The Heavenly Sovereign Battle Divine General?
Before the Reverence for Heaven Pavilion, the expressions of all ten Battle Divine Generals, Qing Jian included, changed.
They knew that name all too well.
Heavenly Sovereign, the first-generation Battle Divine General—a legendary expert who had vanished during the final war between Gods and Devils in ancient times. Since then, no one had known his whereabouts.
They had never expected that the Heavenly Sovereign Battle Divine General had remained in the Divine Court's Reverence for Heaven Pavilion all along.
"Heavenly Sovereign."
The old man murmured the name softly, a nostalgic smile appearing on his face. "It has been a very long time since I last heard that title."
