For soone at the level of a Saint Sovereign like him, the temptation of the Ancestral Lands was not so great. Could that place really allow them to advance from Saint Sovereign to Infinite Dao? Obviously not. So to the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign, his curiosity about the great hall outweighed any desire for the Ancestral Lands itself.
Xu Zimo and the Violet Mist Saint Sovereign arrived at the Chaos Fire God Realm. Xiao Anshan looked at them, his gaze settling on Xu Zimo.
“The Fire Ancestor has agreed,” he said. “Ancient Eternal God Realm can beco our affiliated power.”
Xu Zimo nodded slightly, exactly as he had expected.
The mbers of Ancient Eternal God Realm began to rge with those of the Chaos Fire God Realm. Above the sky, however, the Radiant Court was undergoing a trendous transformation. What once stood as a fortress-like structure now radiated brilliant, multicolored light. These lights ford paths that seed to stretch to the heavens, guiding all who wished to enter.
So people rose into the air and stepped upon the glowing roads, vanishing as they were swallowed by the light. Almost every force apart from the Seven Great God Realms began entering. From Ancient Eternal God Realm’s side, Realm Lord Bai ordered Lu Wuming to lead a group of talented disciples into the hall. If they could reach the end, all the better, if not, at least they would gain experience. Safety ca first, above all else.
When all the other factions had set off toward the Radiant Court, only the Seven Great God Realms and a few elder escorts remained among the mountains. Many of these elders did not plan to enter the Ancestral Lands, not because they were unwilling, but because they wished to give the younger generation a chance. Everyone knew that although the Ancestral Lands held countless wonders, its benefits to Saint Sovereigns were limited. Otherwise, the Radiant Court would never have opened it so freely.
This led many to wonder, what was the Radiant Court’s true intention? Were they really acting out of goodwill by opening the Fire Domain?
As Ancient Eternal God Realm’s people rested and recovered, a soft laugh ca from nearby.
“Realm Lord Bai, we et again.”
Hearing that voice, Bai didn’t even need to turn around. She already knew it was Wang Yunpeng. She turned her head slightly and said coldly, “What do you want?”
“Nothing much,” Wang Yunpeng replied with a grin. “I just wanted to see you.”
Bai frowned in confusion. By all logic, now that Ancient Eternal God Realm had allied with the Chaos Fire God Realm, the Fire Python Holy Lands shouldn’t dare act so arrogantly. Yet Wang Yunpeng stood there, smug as ever, though not alone. A man stood beside him.
When Bai’s eyes fell on that man, she imdiately understood. The man wore his hair in a long braid like the n of ancient tis. On his robe was the image of a strange bird, not a phoenix, but a mythical creature said to be able to endlessly resurrect, taking form again through any spark of fla. It was the Undying Bird, the totem of the Undying Fire Region. Only people of that domain wore such a symbol.
That left no doubt, the man was from the Undying Fire God Realm. No wonder Wang Yunpeng dared to show up; he had found himself a powerful backer.
Bai’s face remained calm.
“You follow us around like a fly,” she said, “buzzing about Ancient Eternal God Realm all day. It’s disgusting.”
“Realm Lord Bai, it’s not looking for you this ti,” Wang Yunpeng snorted. “It’s Young Master Su.”
After speaking, he turned toward the man beside him, smiling ingratiatingly. “Young Master Su, what do you think of her? Quite the beauty, isn’t she?”
“Not bad, not bad,” Su said with a grin. “I hear she’s the leader of a sect? That makes it even more interesting.”
He stepped forward, still smiling. “Allow to introduce myself, Su Fangyun, Young Master of the Undying Fire God Realm.”
Bai’s face tightened slightly at the na. Though she loathed him, she knew this was not soone she could easily offend.
“What business does Young Master Su have with ?” she asked.
“I heard you wish to restore Ancient Eternal God Realm,” Su Fangyun said lightly. “Follow , and I’ll make sure Ancient Eternal God Realm devours the Fire Python Holy Lands and rules that whole region.”
He said it with utter confidence. Although the Undying Fire God Realm could not directly control affairs within the Divine Crow God Realm, sending a few of their experts would be more than enough to settle such matters.
At those words, Wang Yunpeng panicked. “Young Master Su, that’s not what we agreed on!”
Earlier, Su Fangyun had promised to help him seize Ancient Eternal God Realm, and now he was going back on his word. If the Undying Fire God Realm turned against them, the Fire Python Holy Lands would be utterly dood.
“Do I need you to tell how to act?” Su Fangyun’s voice went cold.
Wang Yunpeng froze, instantly silenced.
Su Fangyun turned back to Bai, smiling. “Well then, what do you say?”
“What would Ancient Eternal God Realm need to give in return?” Bai asked. She longed to destroy the Fire Python Holy Lands, but she wasn’t a fool. There was no such thing as a free favor.
“No paynt needed,” Su Fangyun replied. “Just make ... happy, then everything is negotiable.” As he spoke, he reached out a hand toward Bai’s face.
Bai’s expression darkened. She slapped his hand aside and stepped back.
“Please behave yourself, Young Master Su.”
“The more you resist,” Su said with a smirk, “the more I like it. Na your terms, anything you want, I’ll agree.”
In his mind, her rejection was rely bargaining. Everyone had a price.
But Bai’s gaze had gone cold. “If Young Master Su has no other business, then please leave,” she said evenly. “Ancient Eternal God Realm has no need of your help.”
“Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit,” Su’s smile vanished. His tone turned threatening. “Do you believe I won’t help the Fire Python Holy Lands destroy Ancient Eternal God Realm myself? There’s nothing I, Su Fangyun, cannot do. You can suffer a little first if you want, you’ll still submit in the end.”
As he spoke, his killing intent surged, rolling through the air like a storm. He reached out sharply toward Bai.
Bai snorted coldly, refusing to retreat. As the leader of a sect, her strength was by no ans weak. She raised her hand, summoning an aura that shimred like celestial light. The force of her will pressed upon the void itself. Two trendous powers collided, exploding in midair.
The shockwave drew the attention of everyone nearby. Su Fangyun stood unmoving, while Bai staggered back several steps with a muffled groan. Just one exchange was enough to reveal the gap between them. After all, as the young master of the Undying Fire God Realm, Su Fangyun’s strength was truly formidable.
“Co again!” Su Fangyun laughed wildly. His aura surged like a blazing cot, his power sweeping forward in an overwhelming tide. He stepped into the air, closed the distance, and threw a crushing punch straight toward her.
