The voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither loud nor soft, and carried no imposing manner. Yet, in this desperate situation, it completely suppressed and dispersed the white-robed, blue-eyed mage's ferocity, giving people an indescribable sense of confidence and security.
Everyone turned their heads in surprise to look in the direction of the sound.
The speaker was the blue-haired middle-aged man who had remained silent since entering the [ Blazing Flames Realm ]. A faint smile graced his face; he showed no fear of the white-robed, blue-eyed mage's terrifying aura. He stepped forward, standing alone before the magma Giant, like a towering mountain blocking its path. All the oppressive fiery aura vanished instantly. The blue-haired man smiled slightly and said, "Lord Domenech, twenty-six years have passed. We finally meet again. I've missed you dearly all these years!"
Domenech?
The white-robed, blue-eyed mage's name was Domenech?
The blue-haired middle-aged man had already revealed the identity of the Great Sun-Rank Venerable before him, immediately causing astonishment to appear in the eyes of the other powerful figures around him. Some of them had heard of the name Domenech; he was the chief court mage of the sixth-level Lyon Empire, and could be considered a very famous expert within a million miles. Back then, he had won ten battles out of ten in a Mages' Union war, becoming famous and renowned for his arrogance, ruthlessness, and heartlessness. At that time, he seemed to be on track to become the number one mage among the hundreds of major empires within a million miles. However, for some unknown reason, more than twenty years ago, he suddenly became quiet and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Unexpectedly, I encountered the figure of the number one magician within a million miles twenty years ago here. Just like more than twenty years ago, this magical genius is still arrogant and ruthless. The only difference is that twenty years ago, Domenech was just a Moon Class expert at the Moon Class Great Perfection of the Moon level, but twenty-six years later, he has finally taken the step that countless martial artists dream of, and has finally advanced to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position, mastering the Great Sun Phenomenon, a true mystery that determines the strength of a powerful person.
But who is this blue-haired middle-aged man? How dare he stand up in this situation and act so relaxed? He calls himself "This Emperor," could he also be an emperor of an empire? And judging from his tone, he should have a considerable grudge against the white-robed, blue-eyed mage Domenech... As far as everyone knows, there was only one emperor who had a life-or-death feud with Domenech many years ago, but this person should absolutely not be here.
Standing atop the only solitary peak in the [ Blazing Flames Realm ], the eyes of the powerful figures flickered with surprise and uncertainty. The Necromancer Hasselbaink, meanwhile, silently used a special one-way telepathic magic to explain something to Sun Fei, his lips barely moving. His Majesty the King's slightly hesitant expression gradually brightened.
Above the magma Giant's head, the white-robed, blue-eyed mage Domenech's pupils contracted.
He stared at the blue-haired middle-aged man with suspicion and disbelief. Hearing the man's words, he seemed to instantly realize something, but shook his head in denial, saying, "How do you know my identity? Twenty-six years ago? You are... No, this is impossible, absolutely impossible... How could this be!?" He seemed to have thought of something utterly unbelievable, his eyes flashing with ferocity as he laughed loudly, "Haha, no matter who you are, daring to play tricks on me, hmph, you'll die!"
Amidst thunderous laughter, the white-robed mage waved his magic staff.
The magma Giant sensed something immediately. Terrifying orange-yellow flames flowed from its enormous eye sockets, which resembled two fiery caves. It opened its mouth and let out an angry roar, spewing out a scorching wave that more than doubled the temperature in the space. Then, with a deafening roar, the magma Giant's ten-meter-square fist, almost shattering the void, slammed down towards the blue-haired middle-aged man.
It was this very move that allowed them to easily kill the Upper-Stage Full Moon Class Emperor of Eindhoven.
Extremely terrifying.
Among the powerful figures present, even Crown Prince Gilano of Saint-Germain, who possessed Demigod Dou Weapon, dared not easily confront this magma Giant possessed immense strength and could freely transform his body into flames, head-on.
But the blue-haired middle-aged man simply smiled slightly.
Without any apparent movement, he simply extended his five fingers, flowing smoothly and gracefully, as if painting. With a gentle grasp in the void, strands of pale golden energy, like Sun, silently flowed from his fingertips, meandering and turning like the brushstrokes of an invisible paintbrush. In an instant, the golden light intertwined and transformed into a giant golden hand, also ten meters square. The next moment, the giant golden hand came to life, making a lazy stretching motion, and grasped the magma Big Hand precisely.
Boom!
Bang bang bang bang!!!
The two giant hands collided violently, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards, followed by a series of violent magma explosions that resounded like thunder in everyone's ears. They felt a buzzing in their ears and their mouths went dry.
"Haha, in my Great Sun Phenomenon [ Blazing Flames Realm ], I am the sole ruler. You still want to fight me? How utterly foolish! Die!" The white-robed, blue-eyed mage laughed loudly.
As Domenech finished speaking, the magma torrents of the entire world seemed to respond to him, surging wildly. Streams of fire elemental power continuously energized the magma Giant, and orange-yellow light shifted as the Giant's body began to expand rapidly, growing to over two hundred meters in the blink of an eye—more than doubling in size. Its strength also more than doubled, and a terrifying pressure swept over everyone present, causing them to feel short of breath and unsteady on their feet.
"Is that so? With this little strength, you're far from capable of killing me."
The blue-haired middle-aged man remained expressionless, merely smiling slightly, calm and unmoved. With a gentle grasp of his outstretched fingers, the golden giant palm flashed with golden light, suddenly emanating an extremely terrifying and sharp aura, like a peerless divine weapon, which disappeared in an instant like a bolt of lightning. He also made a handshake gesture.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
Then a series of explosions rang out.
The magma Giant, over two hundred meters tall, trembled as if it were a soldier being repeatedly hit by machine gun fire in a movie from Sun Fei's past life. Its body exploded with countless bloody holes. In less than ten seconds, the entire magma Giant's body was crushed and completely destroyed by the golden giant hand. It collapsed and crumbled like loose sand, turning back into streams of liquid that fell helplessly into the sea of magma surrounding the mountain.
The white-robed, blue-eyed mage Domenech, as if struck by a severe blow, changed his expression drastically, roared, and Avoid backward, hovering in the air.
"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled across the entire mountain platform.
They actually... defeated the magma Giant with a single, effortless strike?
Previously, everyone thought that facing the white-robed, blue-eyed mage with the strength of Great Sun Class, the blue-haired middle-aged man, no matter how powerful, could only withstand a few more moves than Emperor Eindhoven, and his eventual defeat was inevitable. Who knew that such a scene would happen? This even more mysterious blue-haired middle-aged man actually casually and effortlessly annihilated the magma Giant.
Only then did everyone understand why the solemn-looking guard of the blue-haired middle-aged man had remained so calm and showed no intention of helping his master. It turned out that this was a manifestation of his absolute confidence in his master's strength.
Could this mysterious blue-haired middle-aged man actually be a Great Sun-Rank Venerable?
This speculation left everyone somewhat bewildered. When did Great Sun-Rank Venerable become as common as prostitutes soliciting customers at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild at midnight? Normally, Great Sun-Rank Venerable only appeared in conflicts between fifth- or sixth-level empires...
At this moment, Sun Fei's gaze remained fixed on the blue-haired middle-aged man.
The events that had just unfolded reminded him of someone.
However, even His Majesty the King was not certain, as such a speculation was indeed quite astonishing.
"Ahhh, who are you? Who are you?" Domenech's body hovered in the void, his face still showing signs of shock. That giant golden hand was extremely terrifying; even as a Great Sun-Rank Venerable, he felt the aura of death in an instant.
"Who am I? Haha, didn't you already guess?" The blue-haired middle-aged man's body also floated up, his whole body flashing with golden flames. Unlike the areola-like halo formed when many people's Dou Qi flashed, the flames flashing on his body were like sharp arrows, constantly radiating outwards, sharp and incomparable. Even from a distance, it would feel like steel needles piercing one's eyes.
"No! This is impossible! It can't be you! Aren't you about to die?" Seemingly recalling something extremely terrifying, even with Domenech's formidable strength, he momentarily lost his composure, roaring, "Who are you? Speak! Although you've broken through my magma Giant's defenses, it doesn't mean you can defeat me. If you keep playing tricks, I'll torture you to death!"
After saying this, Domenech chanted a strange and obscure incantation and rapidly waved his magic wand.
A deafening rumble resounded.
A terrifying scene unfolded: the magma throughout the entire space began to boil wildly, and magma Giant rose from the magma, roaring and emitting furious cries. Their bodies shimmered with terrifying orange-yellow flames as they surrounded the only mountain peak in the entire [ Blazing Flames Realm ]. A full twenty magma Giant completely surrounded everyone.
This scene caused the crowd's spirits, which had just risen due to the blue-haired middle-aged man's amazing performance, to instantly sink into despair again. In the Great Sun Phenomenon, indeed only the Creator is the sole ruler, and these magma Giant can never be killed.
"Who am I?" The blue-haired middle-aged man suddenly looked up, his eyes turning cold. An indescribable aura of royalty erupted from him, instantly making him appear like a god descending to earth. A vast and majestic aura of royalty permeated the entire [ Blazing Flames Realm ].
" Yassin's life was one of unparalleled excellence!"
