"If you're in a hurry to break through, Echidna, I can take you to a place where there are plenty of exciting battles every day. Perhaps watching more battles will inspire you." Luo Ao's tone was inscrutable, with a mysterious smile on his face, which immediately piqued Echidna's curiosity.
"What kind of place are you talking about? Is there such a place in the Infernal Realm?" Echidna looked at Luo Ao with some surprise.
"Hehe, you'll see when I take you there later." Luo Ao deliberately kept him in suspense. Actually, this place was quite famous, but for ordinary people, it might not be a good place.
After resting for a few more days in Eternal Night City, the two walked out of the courtyard, chatting and laughing, intending to leave Eternal Night City and continue their travels to other parts of the Infernal Realm.
However, they had only been outside for a short while when they saw more than ten people blocking their way. The leader was an elderly man in a red robe. When he saw Luo Ao and his companion, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward respectfully, saying, "Mr. Luo Ao, hello."
Luo Ao raised an eyebrow, remembering who this person was, and asked directly, "What is it?"
This red-robed old man, if Luo Ao remembers correctly, is named Long'erke. He is one of the high-ranking figures in the Eternal Night Prefecture. Now, he is actually waiting for Liermons who specifically ordered him to do so.
Seeing this, Long'erke dared not delay and immediately said, "Mr. Luo Ao, the Lord of the Manor asked me to inquire whether it is now possible to begin the previously agreed-upon duel?"
From Liermons's cautious tone, Long'erke was well aware that Mr. Luo Ao in front of him also possessed astonishing strength; otherwise, the Lord of the Manor would not have made him wait outside like this.
"This is Liermons, really..." Luo Ao shook his head inwardly. He had only said that to make the other party back down, but he did not expect that the other party would actually defeat the original Prefect of Eternal Night. Moreover, this guy had clearly broken through, yet he still liked to challenge others so much.
"Mr. Luo Ao..." When Long'erke saw the other man shake his head, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Luo Ao with some nervousness.
This was the first thing the new lord of the manor had ordered him to do, and if he messed it up, it would definitely leave a bad impression on the lord.
Unfortunately, this Mr. Luo Ao was also an exceptionally powerful figure, someone he couldn't afford to offend either.
"Alright." Luo Ao only considered for a moment before saying, "Lead the way, I'm going to see your lord."
Now that he had said it, he naturally couldn't break his promise.
Since Liermons had indeed fulfilled his previous request, it wasn't unreasonable to give him a chance. So, Luo Ao directly created a Fire Divine Clone and walked towards Long'erke.
Long'erke's face immediately lit up with joy, and he enthusiastically led the way, saying, "Mr. Luo Ao, please follow me..."
" Luo Ao..." Echidna became a little nervous upon seeing this, after all, she had clearly witnessed Liermons's astonishing strength that day.
However, Luo Ao's Destruction Divine Clone smiled at her and said, "It's alright."
Guided by Long'erke, Luo Ao's Fire Divine Clone quickly flew out of the Eternal Night City.
Soon, the two arrived above a tranquil, clear purple lake, where Liermons had been waiting patiently by the lake for some time.
When they met again, Liermons was dressed the same as before, but his aura was much more restrained. Compared to their previous meeting at the restaurant, he had indeed undergone a significant transformation.
Seeing Luo Ao's arrival, Liermons was overjoyed, and his face instantly ignited with a burning fighting spirit.
"This time, would you be willing to fight me?" With a cold expression, Liermons was still used to being straightforward, and asked directly from the start.
His burning eyes were now fixed on Luo Ao, as if in his vision there was only Luo Ao, his new opponent, and no one else existed.
"Since you're so eager to fight me, then let's go." Luo Ao looked at Liermons and spoke calmly.
"Shall we begin?" Liermons asked rhetorically, drawing his Black Longsword Divine Artifact he fixed his gaze intently on his opponent.
"Now then." Luo Ao nodded, simply hovering quietly above the lake, his gaze calm and serene as he looked at him.
As the only spectator in this battle, Long'erke stayed far away, watching the two men's next move from a distance.
"I wonder, who is stronger, this mysterious black-haired youth or the Lord of the Manor?" Long'erke stared straight at the spot without blinking, but in his heart he felt that the Lord of the Manor should be stronger, after all, even the veteran Lord of the Manor Fafnir, was no match for him.
Above the silent purple lake, Liermons' gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at Luo Ao, who still hadn't drawn his weapon.
"So confident? Then take a few of my sword strikes first!" Liermons didn't dwell on his opponent underestimating him; instead, he immediately unleashed several black sword beams.
These sword lights, like lightning dragons, streaked across the sky, causing deep rumbling sounds and disrupting the space, creating winding black spatial rifts.
Faced with Liermons's astonishing physical attack, Luo Ao simply made a fist with his five fingers.
"Pfft!"
He casually threw a punch forward, and the space trembled like the surface of a lake before exploding, revealing a large hole in the space with a diameter of nearly one meter.
"What!"
Liermons and the spectator Long'erke were instantly taken aback!
What's even more astonishing is that Luo Ao remained calmly in place, the enormous spatial rift that seemed capable of Profound Mysteries of Devouring and tearing everything was right in front of him, yet it didn't shake his figure in the slightest!
Luo Ao was once again experiencing this feeling of control over his surroundings, and it was no longer unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, the fluctuations in space and any movement around us are under our control.
Although the enormous spatial rift roared incessantly in front of him, it did nothing to harm him.
"Swoosh~" Several sword lights and azure dragons were completely Profound Mysteries of Devouring by the black spatial vortex that seemed to Profound Mysteries of Devouring everything, just like a mud ox entering the sea, without causing any waves.
"This? How is this possible!"
Both Liermons and his companion stared in utter shock at this scene. With a mere gesture, they could easily distort space and tear apart heaven and earth—what kind of power was this?
Liermons, who had initially been quite confident in himself, hesitated and did not make another move.
Facing this black-haired youth.
He was like a small stream facing a boundless ocean, no longer able to muster any thought of resistance.
"Are you at the Paragon?"
After a brief mental lapse, Liermons couldn't help but shout out!
There was no other reason than that he simply couldn't think of a second answer.
As for the Sovereign, he didn't dare to think about it.
Among the gods, those who can manipulate the Infernal Realm space so easily are probably only the legendary Paragon.
Countless years ago, he had the privilege of witnessing the Floating Shadow of two Paragon High-God battling, and the scene back then was exactly the same as it is now!
If it were any other Asura powerhouse, even if he encountered that terrifying Volcano Giant again, Liermons would have complete confidence in himself. However, facing a Paragon, he truly couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance.
The Paragon is an invincible existence among gods!
Although he is now slightly stronger than an average Asura, he could never be a match for a Paragon cultivator.
" Paragon!"
Hearing Liermons suddenly speak like that in the distance, Long'erke also exclaimed in surprise.
Paragon? This Mr. Luo Ao is actually a Paragon! Paragon expert, the Emperor of Gods!
