Jun Moxiao stood to one side, watching Shi Hao grind through the small fry.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the sky, accompanied by an arrogant voice. "Hahaha! Quite a lively fight. Let me see what kind of Heavenly Prodigy you are!"
A man wreathed in several divine flames held a Remnant Disk fragment, with a large ring behind him. His aura was terrifying beyond measure. Apart from Willow Deity, no one present could match the aura he was currently releasing.
But Jun Moxiao knew this fellow was relying on a fragment of the Six Paths Reincarnation Remnant Disk. He was probably only around the Divine Fire Realm, but with the Reincarnation Disk bolstering him, he had nothing to fear.
Jun Moxiao decided to let him show off for a while, then grind him into the dirt when he was at his most smug.
The Void God Realm's Domain Envoy saw how arrogant this fellow was. His arrival had been so sudden, and his strength had already surpassed the rules' suppression. The Domain Envoy immediately warned him, "You have violated the rules. You will be expelled at once."
Order Divine Chains descended from the sky and attacked the Divine Flame Man.
The Divine Flame Man roared with laughter, using the Reincarnation Remnant Disk to block the Order Divine Chains and strike them back. Then he seized the Domain Envoy, intending to kill him.
The Domain Envoy hastily shouted, "How dare you! You dare kill me? Aren't you afraid of punishment under the rules?"
The Divine Flame Man's remnant disk unleashed six precious techniques, killing the Domain Envoy. He declared arrogantly, "What rules? Those were made for the weak."
Everyone below paled in shock. "He killed the Domain Envoy! Even the Void God Realm rules can't erase him. He's too powerful. Six precious techniques!"
Seeing the ferocious Shi Hao below, the Divine Flame Man thought, This is a super Heavenly Prodigy. I'll take him as a subordinate. Yes, it's settled.
The Divine Flame Man came to Shi Hao's side, grabbed him, and carried him away from the arena. He told Shi Hao, "You have excellent talent. Become my follower!"
Looking at the powerful man holding the remnant disk, Shi Hao communicated with the Little Pagoda. "Little Pagoda! Can you deal with that remnant disk?"
The Little Pagoda replied, "No, that disk is too powerful!"
Shi Hao said, "Little Pagoda, you're too weak!"
The Little Pagoda said, "I think that brother of yours has a trump card to deal with him."
Shi Hao said, "This fellow is so strong. I should test his methods for Xiaoxiao first."
Shi Hao summoned his cleaver and told the Divine Flame Man, "You're strong too. How about becoming my follower?"
Seeing such an arrogant young prodigy, the Divine Flame Man laughed uproariously. "Then I'll show you what I can do and beat you into submission."
The remnant disk in the Divine Flame Man's hand transmitted a message to him. "The cleaver in that boy's hand is a Void Dao Realm divine weapon. I'll suppress it."
The Divine Flame Man froze. His opponent actually possessed a divine weapon like that. He hurriedly told the remnant disk, "Good! You take the cleaver, and I'll beat the boy into submission."
Shi Hao was just about to slash with his cleaver when the remnant disk flew over and suppressed it.
Shi Hao was startled. The remnant disk's realm was higher than the cleaver's. He had to find a way to take it.
Seeing that the cleaver was useless, Shi Hao summoned his eleven cave heavens and unleashed the Suanni Precious Technique to test the waters, trading blows with his opponent.
The Divine Flame Man was utterly shocked to see that the boy had opened eleven cave heavens. Eleven cave heavens? Holy shit! He's an unrivaled freak of a genius. I must take him as a subordinate and train him properly.
Thus, the Divine Flame Man also suppressed his strength somewhat, bringing it down to around the early Venerable level as he exchanged attacks with Shi Hao.
Shi Hao fought him for over a dozen exchanges, but with an entire realm between them, he was ultimately beaten back to one side.
Shi Hao felt certain that Jun Moxiao could finish him off. He calmly told the Divine Flame Man, "You're powerful, but that's only because I'm one realm below you. If we were in the same realm, I could kill you instantly."
The Divine Flame Man told Shi Hao, "Indeed! Without this artifact, I really wouldn't be your match. You're a genius, one in ten thousand. But right now, I'm stronger than you. Become my follower!"
One corner of Shi Hao's mouth curled up in a mysterious smile. "I wouldn't dare call myself a genius, much less one in ten thousand. You've seen far too little. You'll meet a truly monstrous genius, one in ten thousand. I hope you'll still be this arrogant then. Following you is impossible. It will never happen in this lifetime."
The Divine Flame Man laughed heartily. "My greatest pleasures in life are gathering all the world's beauties and subduing every kind of Heavenly Prodigy."
The Divine Flame Man flew into the air and called loudly, "Fairy Yuechan, since you're here, come out and meet me! I've missed you for so long."
Fairy Yuechan's graceful figure slowly appeared in the sky. She told the Divine Flame Man, "Reincarnation, your demonic nature is too strong. If this continues, sooner or later you'll fall onto the demonic path."
The Divine Flame Man was known as Reincarnation in the Upper Realm. People probably suspected he was some great figure reincarnated, so Reincarnation would do for now!
Reincarnation laughed uproariously. "God or demon, I simply enjoy following my whims. Why don't you come to my side, Fairy Yuechan, and chant scriptures for me day and night to dispel my demonic nature?"
Yue Chan said, "If you join my Heaven Mending Sect, someone will naturally help purge your demonic nature. First, I'll subdue you."
Fairy Yuechan attacked and fought the Divine Flame Man, but the Reincarnation Remnant Disk was too formidable. She was defeated after only a few exchanges.
Reincarnation laughed uproariously. "My greatest pleasure is taking beauties like you into my collection, Fairy. I hear the Witch of the Heaven Severing Sect is here too. Where is she? Let me have a look."
Reincarnation looked toward Willow Deity and froze in astonishment. He saw not only the Witch, but also Willow Deity, Huo Ling'er, Xia Youyu, and the War Goddess, all peerless beauties. Although Willow Deity's face was veiled, the Divine Flame Man could tell that she was even more beautiful.
Reincarnation approached the hall where Willow Deity was, stopping a short distance away. He said excitedly, "Witch, I've missed you for so long. And four more beauties! I'll take all of you."
The Witch gave a wicked little smile. "Reincarnation, you're as arrogant as ever. You're beyond saving."
The Witch asked Willow Deity, "Sister, aren't you going to act?"
Willow Deity said, "It's fine. Leave him to Xiaoxiao. Haven't you noticed the murderous look Xiaoxiao is giving that madman?"
The Witch said worriedly, "But that remnant disk in Reincarnation's hand is far too powerful."
Willow Deity said, "Feng Jiu! Just relax and enjoy the show."
Seeing that Reincarnation actually dared flirt with Willow Deity and the other women, Jun Moxiao instantly grew furious.
With a whoosh, Jun Moxiao appeared before Reincarnation and summoned the Haotian Pagoda. "Haotian Pagoda, suppress that Reincarnation Remnant Disk. But please restrain your power, Senior, or you'll damage the Void God Realm."
The Haotian Pagoda said, "Don't worry. This old man will keep his power in check."
Looking at the boy before him, Reincarnation was about to ask who he was when the Reincarnation Remnant Disk cried out in terror, "Run! You've provoked something terrifying!"
Before Reincarnation could react, the Haotian Pagoda enlarged and sucked the Reincarnation Remnant Disk inside.
"Little disk, where do you think you're escaping to? As the Reincarnation Immortal King's artifact, you actually chose an arrogant fool like this. Where is the pride you once had as an Immortal King's artifact?"
The remnant disk struggled as it said, "I'm only a fragment of a disk now."
The Haotian Pagoda said, "Enough! Stop resisting and settle down. I'll take you to meet your other Remnant Disk fragment. That one is the rightful core. Let the Reincarnation Disk's true artifact spirit take control. Otherwise, if every Remnant Disk fragment develops its own consciousness, it'll be a complete mess. What kind of disgraceful state is that?"
Hearing that there was another fragment, the Reincarnation Remnant Disk hurriedly said, "Where? Take me to it."
The Haotian Pagoda said, "Quiet! First, let the little fellow deal with this arrogant man. Take a good look at the trash you chose."
Below, the Little Pagoda atop Shi Hao's head said, "Look at that brother of yours. The great pagoda beside him is terrifying. It feels stronger than I was at my peak. If my guess is right, that pagoda should be a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapon."
Shi Hao exclaimed, "A Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapon? That powerful? Then were you an Immortal King Weapon at your peak, Little Pagoda?"
The Little Pagoda said, "Correct. Back in the Hundred Broken Mountains, I sensed two terrifying auras on your brother. One of them should have been that pagoda."
After suppressing the Reincarnation Remnant Disk, the Haotian Pagoda tossed it to Jun Moxiao. "Little fellow, this old man is going to rest. Call me if you need anything."
Jun Moxiao put the Reincarnation Remnant Disk into his system inventory and told the Haotian Pagoda, "Thank you."
On the arena, Shi Hao thought, This brother of mine really is outrageously wealthy. No wonder he gave me that Heavenly God Weapon Cleaver without a second thought. He actually has a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapon. Just how rich is he?
Reincarnation was utterly dumbfounded. What's going on? I was just showing off and putting all those prodigies in their place. How did the pagoda before me suddenly take the Reincarnation Remnant Disk? Worse, the remnant disk couldn't even resist. I can't communicate with it anymore. Without it, how am I supposed to show off?
The Void God Realm's rules instantly suppressed Reincarnation's strength to the Cave Heaven Realm. He shouted at Jun Moxiao in terror.
"Who are you? Give me back my remnant disk! You can't bear the weight of this great karma."
Jun Moxiao slapped him straight down onto the arena below and said, "All that great karma is nothing but drifting clouds to me."
Seeing Reincarnation's miserable state, Shi Hao laughed excitedly. Watching someone get put in his place like this was simply too satisfying.
"I just told you that you'd meet a monstrous genius, one in ten thousand. And here he is!"
Reincarnation wanted to escape. His opponent was too terrifying. Without the Reincarnation Remnant Disk, he was nothing but trash.
He was just about to get up when Jun Moxiao unleashed I Am the Sovereign, immobilizing him. He could not even return his spiritual body to his physical body.
Reincarnation stared at his opponent's insane, comprehension-shattering thirteen cave heavens. They held him immobile, leaving him unable to escape or return to his physical body. It was too terrifying. He felt the breath of death. Before this opponent, he was nothing but an ant.
Jun Moxiao looked at the terrified Reincarnation and said calmly, "Where do you think you're running? Where's your arrogance? Where's that swagger? I'm this handsome and powerful, and even I don't dare act so arrogantly. You're relying on a defective artifact of the Reincarnation Immortal King. What gives you the right to strut around?"
Shi Hao walked up to Reincarnation and said, "You were so arrogant just now, but now you're such a coward. Looks like you're just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Without that remnant disk, you're nothing."
Jun Moxiao told Shi Hao, "Hao Tian! Show him your skills. Let him learn what a social beating is."
Shi Hao had wanted to beat him up for ages. This fellow had actually tried to subdue him earlier and had left him rather bedraggled.
Clenching his fist, Shi Hao told Reincarnation, "Take a look! Ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag? I told you earlier, in the same realm, you're trash."
Shi Hao pinned Reincarnation to the ground and pounded him viciously. Soon, Reincarnation's screams rang throughout the Void God Realm's entire Cave Heaven Domain.
Everyone cried out, "See that? No matter how skilled they are, they're all trash before Invincible Handsome Guy! The pagoda beside Handsome Guy is terrifying too. What kind of divine weapon is that?"
Others said, "That Marquis of Desolate Heaven is savage too. He pinned the man down and hammered him until his face was unrecognizable. But I like it. It's incredibly satisfying."
Above, Willow Deity looked at Jun Moxiao's Haotian Pagoda and murmured to herself, "Has the Haotian Pagoda truly advanced into a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapon? It really is incredibly powerful."
The Witch and the others asked, "Xiaoxiao's Haotian Pagoda has advanced? It even took that powerful remnant disk."
Willow Deity chuckled and said, "That remnant disk was probably only an Immortal King Weapon even at its peak."
The Witch said, "Then Xiaoxiao doesn't need to fear danger anymore?"
Willow Deity said, "He should be fine for the time being!"
Shi Hao beat Reincarnation until every bone in his body was broken. Reincarnation roared furiously, "You'd better watch out! The forces behind me will never let you off. They'll destroy you, body and soul!"
Jun Moxiao said, "Hao Tian, he actually dares threaten us?"
"Then kill him. We'll probably have to deal with him when we go to the Upper Realm anyway. We might as well eliminate him now."
Shi Hao was about to take out the God-Slaying Needle he had seized two years earlier when he saw Jun Moxiao summon the Karma Fire Lotus Flame and burn Reincarnation into nothingness.
Burned to death by the red lotus karmic flame, his physical body died for good as well. Once the red lotus karmic flame had destroyed him, his soul ceased to exist forever.
Shi Hao watched Reincarnation roar a few times amid the red flames before vanishing. Xiaoxiao really acts fast, he thought.
Jun Moxiao thought, What a joke. Reincarnation flirted with Willow Deity, Feng Jiu, and the others. How could I possibly let him go?
