The Five Skyslaying Generals following the Overlord were respectively the Purple Lightning Marquis, the Scarlet Flame Monarch, the Gold Clothed Blood, the Devouring Ghost, and the Ten Thousand Slayer. Those were the five who had accompanied the Overlord on his conquest, spreading their fame far and wide.
Unfortunately, about 10,000 years ago, the Overlord had been besieged by numerous organizations and had ultimately been killed. As for the five, they were either dead or captured.
Based on Devouring Ghost's explanation, this Scarlet Flame Monarch was ranked second of the five. He was extremely powerful, with a fiery temper. Not many people dared to offend him.
Devouring Ghost had personally witnessed the deaths of the Gold Clothed Blood and the Ten Thousand Slayer. As for the Scarlet Flame Monarch, he was barely alive as well, and it did not seem likely that he could have survived. As for the Purple Lightning Marquis, he was the most likely survivor of the five.
Even back then, the Purple Lightning Marquis had the strength to defeat Heaven Battling Realm experts, and he was the Overlord's number one subordinate. Instead of encountering the most likely survivor, the Purple Lightning Marquis, Xiang Shaoyun had instead encountered the one most likely to perish, the Scarlet Flame Monarch. He was both overjoyed and surprised.
The appearance of the Scarlet Flame Monarch was too different than he had imagined, to the point he was having difficulty believing his eyes. The Scarlet Flame Monarch raised his head and regarded Xiang Shaoyun with pulsing red eyes.
Abruptly, he exclaimed, ”Y-you're the Overlord! Have you arrived to free your subordinate?”
He struggled to stand up, but the chains around him started emanating a terrifying power, making any sort of movement impossible.
”Arghhhh! p.i.s.s off! p.i.s.s off!” The Scarlet Flame Monarch roared furiously as he struggled endlessly. A terrifying presence filled the bas.e.m.e.nt, once again torturing Xiang Shaoyun with a dreadful suffocating sensation.
”Calm down,” Xiang Shaoyun roared when he finally couldn't take it any longer.
At the same time, he circulated his Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, trying his best to counter the pressure emanated by the Scarlet Flame Monarch. After activating the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual, some random memory fragments appeared in his mind. These memories seemed to have accompanied him in birth, yet they also seemed to be sudden intruders.
He saw a st.u.r.dy and powerful man swearing fealty to him, the same man accompanying him in his numerous conquests, spreading their might throughout the dominion. From Xiang Shaoyun's roar, the Scarlet Flame Monarch sensed a will that allowed no disobedience. His violent temper slowly calmed.
”Overlord! You're really the Overlord!” he said, his voice confident.
He had been conquering his entire life, and the only person he would submit to was the Overlord. The young man before him was definitely the Overlord. Xiang Shaoyun acted like he had heard nothing and remained in a daze.
”Scarlet Flame, do you admit your mistake?” Xiang Shaoyun suddenly asked.
The Scarlet Flame Monarch answered obediently, ”Your subordinate admits his mistake!”
”Back then, I told you and Purple Lightning to protect my Xiang Clan. Why are you imprisoned here? Who has such audacity?”
”I have failed the Overlord. I surrendered myself back then. They claimed that they would work together to eliminate the Xiang Clan otherwise.”
”Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! Did they think they had really defeated this overlord? I had merely suffered backlash during a breakthrough. That is the only reason they had been able to defeat me. Just wait. I shall slay every single one of them.”
