Boom!
A massive palm that covered the sun fell from the sky as if it were the hand of the gods. It was filled with majestic power, as if one could not resist it. However, as the massive palm was about to descend, the space before Mu Chen and the others suddenly shattered, and a red gourd sprang out of it in a strange motion.
As soon as the red gourd appeared, endless red light spurted from its top. From a distance, those red lights seemed ablaze as if they were the source of a volcano. It seemed like every red light contained a sea of magma. The temperature between heaven and earth rose instantly, and even the surrounding sea gradually boiled.
Boom!
Endless red light rose into the sky, clashing harshly with the massive Hands of God that were enveloping the space. At the moment of impact, the world seemed to tremble, and countless clouds were ablaze with a terrible heat.
Bong!
Under the red light that contained terrible heat, the giant hand quickly dried up. Cracks spread, and in the next moment, the red light petrified the hand.
Rumble!
The giant hand shattered, and stone shards rained down from the sky, setting off tumultuous waves in the sea.
In the sky, Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang saw the massive hand being petrified and shattering. A thick haze of horror surfaced in their gazes, and their faces were full of fear. It was obvious that the sight frightened them.
The man who struck was a true Heavenly Sovereign. Such a horrifying attack was easily countered, so how formidable was the person who dealt that blow? In the presence of such a powerful Sovereign, Complete Earthly Sovereigns like them were nothing more than ants.
Puff.
After shattering the Heavenly Sovereign's massive palm, the red gourd flew backwards and landed nearby. Everyone stared, dumbfounded. At this point, they discovered an old man clad in cloth robes. He held a crutch, and no one knew when he had appeared.
The old man smiled and reached for the red gourd, drinking a gulp of liquid out of it. In that instant, they could see the liquid, scarlet like magma, flowing into the old man's mouth. The magmatic liquid caused them to feel a terrible heat, even though they were not in contact with it. This told them that the magmatic liquid the old man was drinking like wine was definitely something they could not withstand...
Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other with a touch of surprise in their eyes. The old man before them was too mysterious, but from his previous actions, he was certainly a true Heavenly Sovereign. However, they clearly did not know this Heavenly Sovereign, so why would he help them?
To their surprise, the old man did not pay attention to them. After he had taken a sip from the gourd, he looked up at the whirlpool of space leading to the unknown behind Lion King Gu. He smiled and said, ”You are a reputable figure in the Budur Ancient Clan. Why would you disgrace your status and attack the younger generation?”
Lion King Gu and Evil Fish Liang kept silent like cicadas in winter and did not dare to speak. Behind them, the space whirlpool was silent. Then an ancient voice rang out, ”So it is the Scarlet Flame Deity of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan. My Budur Ancient Clan and your Great Spirit Ancient Clan have never interfered with each other. Why do you want to interfere with the affairs of our people today?”
The old man in cloth, known as the Scarlet Flame Deity, shook his head with a smile and said, ”But here is a young talent whom I have been looking for for many years. How can I let the child be destroyed by your Budur Ancient Clan?”
In the space whirlpool, a furious voice rumbled, causing the space to shake. ”Hmph, he is a perpetrator against my clan. If you take him away, I'm afraid even with your power, you can't bear the consequences!”
The Scarlet Flame Deity rolled his eyes and pointed at Luo Li, then pointed at Mu Chen. ”The young talent I was talking about is her, not him.”
Mu Chen was slightly embarrassed. He could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
In the whirlpool of space, the shred of mind power seemed to be relieved, and then the voice declared gravely, ”In that case, you may take her away, but the perpetrator must stay.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Li immediately said, ”If Mu Chen stays here, I will never leave!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the Scarlet Flame Deity again and whispered, ”Thank you, Elder, for thinking highly of me. I'm very grateful for the honor.”
After hearing the words, he nodded with a smile. He then smiled at the whirlpool of space and said, ”It looks like I can't let this boy stay. In that case, if you don't want to release him, I can only come and learn for myself how powerful the Pagoda of the Budur Ancient Clan is…”
The Scarlet Flame Deity's red gourd gradually emanated a red light. A terrible temperature rose between heaven and earth.
Seeing the Scarlet Flame Deity's determination, there was a silence in the whirlpool of space. The Heavenly Sovereign of the Budur Ancient Clan was obviously rather enraged, but today he had executed his attacks privately. It was inevitable that there would be some trouble once the clan found out about it.
In particular, if the matter got back to Qing Yanjing, with her personality, once she exploded with fury, even an elder could not suppress it. At that time, he would be in deep trouble.
