"Hmph! Even among beings of the same realm, there are ranks of high and low. Don't think you can be invincible just because you wield a Primordial Spirit Treasure. At most, it is merely a Heaven Grade Treasure!"
Yu Ji and Zhang De's expressions changed slightly, both humiliated and angered. Zhang De directly snorted and warned him.
Dongfang Shi seemed to have expected this long ago. Her expression did not change in the slightest as she remained silent without offering any reminder. Clearly, the Huan Emperor's earlier provocation had succeeded, leaving her with some resentment toward these Descended Immortal Gods.
Xiao Ying's heart tightened. With great interest, he continued asking humbly, "Is that so? I had thought Primordial Spirit Treasures were already above Heaven Grade. Then what rank lies beyond Heaven Grade? Surely this young master who claims there is 'probably nothing much' possesses a treasure surpassing Heaven Grade?"
"Young Master Kong Wutian, known as Heavenless Young Master..." Zhang De corrected angrily.
If he had not feared ruining the young master's great undertaking, and if he had not likely been unable to defeat the Huan Emperor, Zhang De would have turned hostile long ago. At least, that was what Zhang De thought now.
Kong Wu raised a hand to stop Zhang De. His expression returned to calmness, his sharp eyes seeming to see through the Huan Emperor. With a faint smile, he said evenly, "A wise man does not speak in riddles. I presume the Huan Emperor knows why we descended, so there is no need to deny it. I have come this time with sincerity and courtesy, with no intention of interfering in the great currents of Pangu World. I have no interest whatsoever in imperial ambitions, much less any intention of becoming enemies with the Huan Emperor. Would
