Bang!

The emergence of a third party caused an uproar among the divine warriors within the golden light. They had clearly known nothing about Wang Chong’s presence.

Only Luo Supreme’s two sons were unperturbed. It was clear that Luo Supreme had informed them.

“It’s you!”

Behind Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme trembled, instinctively taking a few steps back to distance themselves from Wang Chong.

It wasn’t too long ago that Wang Chong led the experts of the various countries into the north, ultimately breaking into the core area presided over by Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme and destroying the teleportation gate there.

However, what had left the deepest impression on them was Wang Chong’s defeat of the giant idol Heaven had left behind, and this wasn’t even considering that Firmament Supreme and Genesis Supreme had died at his hands.

“How is he here?”

The two of them felt like they had seen a ghost. This had been a top-secret mission that almost nobody in the Celestial God Organization knew about. Moreover, Luo Supreme had established this dimension in the depths of spacetime. If not for the divine tool Heaven had given them, they would have never been able to find this place.

Essence Supreme said nothing, but his creased brow said it all.

He and Heaven had waited for Wang Chong in the capital for two days. They believed that he would appear or would have infiltrated the capital. The only possibility he had not considered was that he would follow them into a place that he should have never been able to find.

Not even in his wildest speculations had he considered this.

“Essence Supreme, we meet again.”

Wang Chong coldly laughed as he greeted the trio. Since he had been discovered, there was no point in continuing to hide.

Essence Supreme pensively frowned rather than replying.

“A visitor is a guest.” Luo Supreme turned to Wang Chong and exposed his identity. “This one should be the Great Tang’s King of Foreign Lands, yes? Or perhaps I can simply call you the Child of Destruction.”

Although Luo Supreme had not noticed Wang Chong when he first entered, he had built this entire dimension. No matter where Wang Chong was hiding, it was impossible to hide from him.

As Luo Supreme spoke, the entire dimension fell silent, the mood turning strange as everyone looked at each other.

“It’s him!”

Within the golden light, Luo Supreme’s two sons realized who he was.

A mortal King meant nothing to children of a god like them. As for the Child of Destruction, this was something that only those of the older generation needed to worry about.

What they were more concerned about was another matter.

If this man was the King of Foreign Lands, it meant that this was the one who had killed their half-brother, An Lushan.

The mood turned even more bizarre.

“Wang Chong, what do we do now?”

Li Xuantu took this all in from within the halo dimension. His brow was deeply furrowed, and even he was perplexed as to how to deal with this.

“It’s fine. Let’s just wait on the sidelines and see how things develop,” Wang Chong mentally replied.

Luo Supreme was no ordinary individual. He had seen where he was hiding, meaning he wanted to make the matter more complicated.

As for Essence Supreme’s group, they had already killed Origin Supreme and taken his Doomsday Insignia, so they naturally wouldn’t be picky about their methods. These were ruthless and vicious individuals.

Wang Chong grinned, taking a few steps forward. “Luo Supreme, I have no ill intentions with my visit. But it is Essence Supreme’s group who have come on Heaven’s orders to take your life. I presume you already know that Origin Supreme in Sindhu has already been slain. You are only the second. Soon, Heaven will have all those who betrayed him killed off, one by one. This one happens to have some quarrels with Heaven, so why not work together and kill Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme?”

Wang Chong’s casually said words left all the divine warriors shaken.

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme were powerful individuals, and even though they were enemies, they regarded the two with extreme reverence. But with his words, Wang Chong had essentially placed himself on the same level as these three august personages.

Luo Supreme’s eyes flashed as he looked in surprise at Wang Chong, but he did not reply.

“Hahaha, Child of Destruction, this is a good plan. Following us here is one thing, but you even want to work with Luo Supreme to fight against us! Alas...”

Essence Supreme chuckled, glancing at Luo Supreme as he spoke without the slightest vexation.

“Luo Supreme, I presume you know without me even saying it that this is the one who killed your son. Your son in the mortal realm died at his hands. Although I’m not worried if you do work with him, you would not truly do such a thing, yes?”

The mood instantly grew awkward.

Essence Supreme’s group did not harbor good intentions toward Luo Supreme, but Wang Chong and Luo Supreme weren’t allies. This was exactly the cause of the strangeness between the three parties.

Essence Supreme had brought up the matter of An Lushan in order to prevent Wang Chong and Luo Supreme from joining forces.

Luo Supreme remained silent, but in the sea of golden light, Luo Supreme’s sons spoke out, anger in their eyes. “Divine Father, these people are all bad and not worthy of trusting.”

In their eyes, both Essence Supreme and Wang Chong were evil. In any case, anyone who came in uninvited was a foe.

Luo Supreme remained unmoved, his face emotionless. It was impossible to tell what he was truly thinking.

“King of Foreign Lands, I know why you have come here and what you want,” Luo Supreme suddenly said. “So long as you help me take care of these three, I will give you the answer you want. What do you think?”

“Divine Father!”

Luo Supreme’s two sons were both aghast. Wang Chong was the one who had killed An Lushan, and from a certain perspective, he was an enemy of their divine kingdom. Neither of them had expected that their divine father would be willing to work with Wang Chong.

At this moment, even Wang Chong was rather surprised.

He had come to find Luo Supreme for a certain reason, but he had not expected Luo Supreme to see through him on his first meeting.

“Is he being sincere?” Li Xuantu doubtfully whispered into his ear. “His Turkic religion declined long ago, and no one except a few shamans and priests continues to worship him in the mortal realm. Could he just be trying to swindle us?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Wang Chong tightly furrowed his brow.

Luo Supreme had been very inconspicuous recently, but that didn’t mean that he had blocked up his ears and closed his eyes. After all, his primary goal had been to make the common people and the Celestial God Organization forget about him.

Wang Chong paused before adding, “But whether he’s sincere or not, it’s very difficult for us to refuse his conditions.”

With the matter of An Lushan between them, it was very difficult for Wang Chong and Luo Supreme to truly work together or trust each other. But for Luo Supreme, so long as the two Doomsday Insignias didn’t fall into Heaven’s hand, his goal was achieved.

From this perspective, it was not important that they didn’t trust each other.

Before Wang Chong could speak, Essence Supreme coldly grunted. “Hmph, Luo Supreme, it seems I overestimated you.

“What does it matter if you work together? I can just bring you back all at once!”

Seeing that Luo Supreme and Wang Chong were about to agree to work with each other, Essence Supreme instantly lost his patience.

Boom!

A moment later, with a massive boom, Essence Supreme released a seal on his body.

Crack! The silver-eyed youth suddenly exploded with golden-red flames, and his aura began to rapidly soar.

He was originally at the Grotto Heaven realm, but in a flash, he had surpassed Wang Chong and Luo Supreme. At the same time, an enormous pressure began to radiate from his body.

This was not merely mental pressure, but also an effect achieved by incredibly dense Stellar Energy.

“The Heaven-Earth Life Refining Art!”

Even the ever-composed Luo Supreme was shaken by this sight, his eyes twitching.

The Heaven-Earth Life Refining Art was an ability unique to Essence Supreme that could consume one’s life and potential, reducing a lifespan of one hundred years down to just a month.

Essence Supreme, as a purely spiritual existence, did not require a physical body and had the ability to create them, so he could consume these bodies without care.

Essence Supreme could compress all of his body’s potential and unleash it in a single brief spurt.

Given that Essence Supreme was already at the Grotto Heaven realm, this power was enough to strike fear even into the likes of Luo Supreme.

After using the Heaven-Earth Life Refining Art, Essence Supreme reached a shocking level of power. To be more precise, it was a power that made one extremely uneasy.

Before anyone could react, Essence Supreme thrust out his palms, placing them on the backs of Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme. The energy that came after burning up several thousand years of lifespan transformed into a golden light that rushed into their bodies.

Amongst the twelve Supremes, Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme had been the weakest. This was why they had jointly presided over the dimensional teleportation gate. But now, with Essence Supreme’s assistance, their bodies exploded with power, their robes flapping and their hair ties bursting apart.

The power given to them in this fashion was not truly theirs. Once the time was up, they would return to their original level. But it was enough if they could kill Luo Supreme and Wang Chong and take back the two Doomsday Insignias.

“Luo Supreme, you can’t escape. No matter who comes today, you will die! Any who oppose Heaven will receive destruction as their fate!” Essence Supreme’s voice boomed out, and the golden-red flames on his body grew several dozen times larger, reaching heights of more than one hundred feet.

Bang!

The fabric of space trembled as a giant compass began to turn within the flames. Infused with destructive power, it plunged down on Luo Supreme and his divine warriors.

“Supreme Essence Compass!”

At this crucial moment, Essence Supreme had brought out his personal ritual tool, the enormous compass erupting with immense power that left everyone alarmed.
