"For someone at the first stage of Eternal Deity comprehension, you are truly far too naive..."BOOOOOOOM!A single fist, enveloped in the fire of heaven’s wrath, instantly exploded that figure's body. Then, as time resumed its normal flow, twenty Heavenly Realm cultivators widened their eyes, even exchanging bewildered glances."A time-stop technique? Or did we misperceive it?""I have no idea..."Gazing toward Chen Guang, Yao Chen began stretching his muscles once more."Why so quiet? Didn't you want Jiang Qin's soul and the numerous other treasures on my body?!"Chen Guang's face flushed red. Even though he was merely a commander of the Heavenly Soldiers, throughout his entire life, he had heard nothing but praise."Your words make my hands itch to obliterate you personally...""Commander? Why soil your hands killing a cultivator from these five inferior continents?"One of the soldiers wielding a spear stepped forward. He spun his spear clockwise, demonstrating a display of exquis

"FINE! Everyone, listen to the order! Attack again, after destroying his body! Use the Universe-Devouring Flame killer formation!"WUUUUUUUSH!All the soldiers once again formed extremely intricate hand seals. Moments later, a gigantic formation circle emitted an intensely scorching essence that spread across the surroundings. It was so scorching hot that Yao Chen could feel a vibration coming from deep within his body.It wasn't from the Universe-Devouring Flame. Rather, it came from the small seed the soldiers had brought out to deal with this grave problem.Over where Toushen was, feeling overjoyed that his brother had revived, he was suddenly startled by the small seed of the Universe-Devouring Flame carried by the soldiers."You've gone too far?! He is not a criminal of the heavens! Yet you're using the number one flame in all the continents to kill him..."KRAAAAACK!The energy sword planted in his abdomen shattered. Toushen, who was about to dart toward Yao Chen to face the fir

Yao Chen vomited blood, his body utterly limp despite successfully withstanding the first wave of heavenly punishment.However, Toushen sensed something amiss. He immediately tossed Chen Guang's body aside while giving a warning."Seal off all his movements... I have a feeling the heavenly punishment isn't over yet..."WHOOSH!Toushen rushed to Yao Chen's side and checked his pulse."Impossible...""Why?" Yao Chen, believing he had successfully broken through to the Immortal God stage, furrowed a brow."You haven't truly reached the Immortal God stage... Unless you instantly comprehend the first insight, this heavenly punishment won't stop trying to destroy your body and soul...""Th-this..."The two of them looked up at the sky simultaneously, prompting Yao Chen to confirm Toushen's words."If that's the case, how can I possibly survive a second strike while in the middle of comprehending the first insight?"With fierce determination and emotional resolve, Toushen locked his gaze int

"IM-IMPOSSIBLE!" Jiang Su screamed like a madman.Followed by Yao Chen's voice echoing throughout the entire sea of consciousness, cutting him off:"I didn't expect it either. Aside from your father's immortal body... my soul is the exact same. Even if it can be shattered, it can always reform into a new soul, even stronger than before... Jiang Su, will you walk out on your own, or do I have to help you?"Jiang Su's mind was in utter chaos; his dream and hope of ruling the five continents with his own hands had shattered. His soul was destabilizing—not out of fear, but because he had gone mad! Truly, completely mad!"My-my dream of becoming the ruler of the five continents is ruined?! Hahahaha! Destiny... this destiny is truly, utterly dark!"Seeing that the soul had completely lost its mind, Yao Chen forcefully cast it out. The atmosphere instantly returned to a heavy silence.He then gazed toward his father and the members of the Yao clan with resolute determination."Erase my memor

Gazing back toward them, Yao Chen immediately opened his mouth."Perhaps the conflicts that have lasted for over millions of years still leave scars in your hearts... But what you must know is that I will be leaving the five continents...""W-what?!" All the patriarchs inside the room were startled, yet not a single one among them dared to wear a greedy expression or harbor any evil plans for the future."Because of that, I cannot always be here... Since the enemy behind the scenes is far more terrifying than the abilities you currently possess... Even more so than myself.""An even stronger enemy..." Worries flickered across their faces. However, Yao Chen, who had already thought of a way out before the meeting was held, snapped his fingers.WUUUUUUUUUSH! A towering pile of mysterious ancient manuals materialized before Yao Chen, and five manuals radiating a golden glow appeared on the other side."All of these manuals contain Heavenly-grade combat techniques...""A-are you going to
