Ye Changge hovered in mid-air, golden flames surging around him, like a war god descending to the mortal world.
The cracks from the fierce battle still remained on the bluestone slabs of the Fang City, and blood meandered along the cracks, contrasting with the gray sky and earth outside the city, adding to the desolate atmosphere.
"Haven't seen Human Race for millions of years?" Ye Changge raised an eyebrow, golden Zero Power faintly pulsating in his palm. "If that's the case, why do you all shout for battle the moment you see me?"
The black-clad city lord hovered a hundred meters away from the opposite side. His Black Robe was torn in several places by the force of the punch, revealing his Ancient Bronze skin underneath, with veins bulging on his forehead.
He stared intently at Ye Changge, his eyes filled with dread and deep-seated hatred. " Human Race is the common enemy of the Zero Realm! Five million years ago, your race slaughtered billions of lives in my Zero Realm. If it weren't for the Realm Lord sealing the Human Race passage, we would have been wiped out long ago!"
"Nonsense!" Ye Changge roared, the golden sound waves causing tiles to fall from the houses below. "Our Human Race has always been peaceful and has never set foot in the so-called Zero Realm. It is you who attacked me without cause. If you don't explain yourselves clearly today, this Mystic City has no reason to exist!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Changge's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
"Not good!" The black-clad city lord's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated all his Zero Power, and white light waves surged around him, transforming into a huge light shield in an attempt to block Ye Changge's attack.
However, this was all in vain in Ye Changge's eyes.
"Break!"
The golden fist, carrying a Heavenly Destruction force, slammed fiercely into the light shield.
With a crisp crack, the light shield, containing the peak power of the mid-stage of the Zero Realm First Layer, was instantly covered with cracks and shattered in the next second.
The aftershocks spread, and the pavilion in the city center was instantly razed to the ground. Amidst the flying dust, countless pebbles shot out in all directions.
The black-clad city lord was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the city wall and creating a huge crater in the thick wall.
"Lord City Lord!"
The remaining dozens of Mystic City cultivators were terrified at the sight, but none of them dared to step forward to help.
The scene of Ye Changge Sweep Away a Thousand Armies with a single punch was still vivid in their minds. They knew that the strength of the Human Race in front of them had long exceeded their understanding. The Zero Realm First Layer was no different from an ant in front of him.
Ye Changge took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the black-clad city lord. His golden foot slammed into the city lord's chest with such force that the city lord spat out another mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened.
"Speak! What is the truth from five million years ago? Why do you hate the Human Race so much?" Ye Changge's voice was icy cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The black-clad city lord struggled to raise his head, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes remained defiant. "The truth? The truth is that Human Race are bloodthirsty! All races of the Zero Realm have long ago sworn a blood oath that anyone who sees Human Race will be killed without mercy! You killed a cultivator from my Mystic City today; the Realm Lord will certainly not let you off!"
"A Realm Lord?" A hint of doubt flashed in Ye Changge's eyes, then he coldly snorted, "Even if your Realm Lord came, he couldn't do anything to me! Since you refuse to tell me, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
As he spoke, Ye Changge gathered golden Zero Power in his palm and was about to strike the head of the black-clad city lord.
"Don't kill him!"
Just then, an old voice suddenly rang out.
An elderly man with white hair stepped out from the crowd. He exuded a powerful aura and was clearly a cultivator at the Zero Realm First Layer. There was no killing intent in his eyes.
