Another one!
Another existence he could not afford to provoke!
And this existence was even more direct, even more overbearing than that white-robed young man just now!
At least the white-robed young man had given him a chance at a fair duel, crushing him with power of the same level in the spiritual world.
But this flaming figure simply did not reason with anyone!
He opened with a punch!
That punch had no flourish, no technique—only pure power!
Yet that single punch gave him no chance to react at all!
"Y-you... who are you?!"
Even the Eighth Divine General's voice was trembling.
The flaming figure stood upon a Fire Lotus and walked step by step toward the Eighth Divine General.
With every step he took, a new flame blossomed from the Fire Lotus beneath his feet.
That flame was no ordinary fire, but Calamity Fire carrying an aura of destruction!
The surrounding void began to warp and distort beneath its scorching heat.
"Who I am is not something you are qualified to know."
The flaming figure spoke, his voice like divine thunder from beyond the nine heavens, rolling through heaven and earth.
"You only need to know that you laid hands on my disciple."
"So, you must pay with your life."
As his words fell, the flaming figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.
The next instant, he was already before the Eighth Divine General.
His right fist shot out once more!
"Boom!!!"
This punch was even more terrifying than the last!
Wherever the force of the fist passed, space collapsed and the river of stars turned upside down!
The Eighth Divine General's expression changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but his heavily wounded body could not keep up with his thoughts at all.
"Bang!!!"
Another deafening crash rang out
