All the questions floated like clouds around Qian Fan's head, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not find any answers.
"Two colossal powers... Xu Mu Chen?... Xu Menghan?" Qian Fan squeezed his eyes shut, carefully considering the possibility.
"No, no, no... impossible..." Qian Fan's eyes snapped open. "Although Xu Mu Chen is the Domain Lord of the Ten Thousand Monster Domain, his actual strength is only at the ninth order of the Immortal Emperor. He hasn't even reached the Saint Realm. Even if he's reached it by now, he couldn't possibly stand on equal footing with Emperor Qi."
Emperor Qi was the universe's only figure at the peak of the ninth order of the Saint Realm, a "Pursuer of the Ten Thousand Dharma Dao" and a "Chosen One of Heaven."
...Any one of those titles, taken alone, might appear only once in tens of millions of years. Yet the legendary Emperor Qi possessed so many of them at once.
Even his cultivation realm was unfathomable. Despite being honored as the Ten Thousand Monster Domain's greatest genius in his previous life, Qian Fan had not been qualified to meet that mythical figure.
Qian Fan rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head.
[Ding! System notification-The host is in a space that is about to shatter. Please evacuate immediately, please evacuate immediately!]
Qian Fan's heart jolted. Before he could consider why this space was about to shatter, he felt the space around him begin to twist and warp. Terrifying cracks spread like hideous, gaping maws.
Without a moment to hesitate, he circulated the Spirit Power within him and raced toward stable space as though wind had sprung beneath his feet. But the cracks spread so quickly that they cut off his retreat in an instant.
