Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"Ancient races... indeed domineering." Most people remained silent, their eyes revealing fear and helplessness.

Niu Zhentian withdrew his hand, looking down at the Little Heavenly Killer Star who had almost lost his fighting ability, his voice like muffled thunder:

"To be able to withstand my palm strike and survive as a Saint King, you have every reason to be proud."

He paused, his tone carrying a mixture of charity and domineering:

"Now, kneel down, kowtow to my son and admit your mistake. I will consider your hard work in cultivation and may only cripple your cultivation, spare your life, and hand it over to your sect to negotiate."

He did want to kill Xiao Tian Sha Xing directly, but the other party's background ultimately made him hesitate.

It was a notorious gathering place for ruthless and madmen. Although it wasn't an extreme force, they were capable of anything when pushed to the limit.

With the Golden Bull Clan as their backing, they naturally have nothing to fear, but if they can use their power to intimidate others and resolve the issue without bloodshed...

Making the opposing sect pay a heavy price while completely crippling this incredibly promising young man would undoubtedly be more in line with our interests.

The advantage lies with him now, his background lies with him, and his strength lies even more with him.

Little Heavenly Killer Star supported himself with his hands and struggled to lift his head.

Blood covered half of his face, but his eyes, even through the blood, showed no sign of submission.

He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse from his severe injuries, yet each word carried clearly across the silent arena:

"Old dog..."

It still only has two simple words.

Niu Zhentian was taken aback at first, as if he hadn't heard clearly. Then, boundless rage instantly overwhelmed his reason, and his crimson eyes almost spit fire!

"You're asking for it!"

His terrifying killing intent erupted like a volcano, and he no longer cared about his sect background or the balance of interests.

At this moment, all I want to do is crush this ant under my feet, along with his arrogance and backbone, into dust!

The giant hand rose again, and destructive lightning danced wildly between its fingers. This time, he would annihilate this kid, body and soul!

The gray-robed Daoist boy asked, "Great Emperor, aren't you going to make a move? If you don't, this brat is really going to be beaten to death!"

Jiang Hao remained calm: "Let's see. True geniuses often unleash their deepest potential in dire situations. Don't worry, with me here, he won't die."

In this world, if Jiang Hao wanted to, no one could kill Little Heavenly Killer Star in front of him, not even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, let alone this Bull Demon King.

Moreover, it's true that true geniuses are forced to unleash their potential in dire circumstances.

In this world, because there can only be one enlightened being in a lifetime, and there are many geniuses, the competition is fierce, so everyone is stubborn.

In addition, even the strongest individuals don't have long lifespans, so geniuses fight anyone who disagrees, often breaking through in battle or unleashing their potential during fights.

This situation is especially suitable for someone with a stubborn personality like Little Heavenly Killer Star.

The giant hand, carrying destructive lightning, crashed down!

The space was squeezed open with cracks, and the shadow of death completely enveloped Little Heavenly Killer Star.

Even in the face of imminent death, Little Heavenly Killer Star showed no fear.

He let out a low roar, and the originally dim light around him suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented brilliance in this life-or-death moment.

A deeper force, forced by circumstances, surged forth from the shattered foundation!

His blood and qi were boiling like magma inside his almost shattered body.

The aura that had been weakened by the serious injury began to rise again at an abnormal speed.

The shattered shadows of guns appeared behind it, purer and more powerful than those in front.

"Huh?" Niu Zhentian uttered a sound of barely suppressed surprise and doubt.

He sensed that the ant beneath his palm, which should have been easily crushed, was actually undergoing a transformation.

This made him very uncomfortable. What did they take him for?

"A dying struggle!" Niu Zhentian was even more shocked and furious.

If a great sage of the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm were to suppress a Saint King and something were to happen, it would be an absolute joke!

"Annihilate me completely!" He held nothing back, the destructive lightning in his palm intensified threefold, and the speed and power of the attack surged.

No one could bear to watch any longer, believing that Little Heavenly Killer was doomed.

"Hey!"

Just then, a clear and majestic phoenix cry, seemingly capable of piercing through time and space, suddenly resounded throughout the entire starry sky!

Immediately afterwards, seven different colored flames—crimson, orange-yellow, golden-white, azure—suddenly ignited between the starry arena and the colossal hand of the Bull Demon King that blotted out the sky!

The flames intertwined instantly, transforming into a dazzling seven-colored flame barrier!

Above the barrier, the faint, magnificent phoenix silhouettes swirled and danced, scattering specks of sacred firelight.

"boom!"

Niu Zhentian's deadly palm strike, crackling with lightning, landed squarely on the seven-colored flame barrier!

The anticipated scene of the barrier shattering and the aftershocks crushing Little Heavenly Killer Star did not occur.

instead.

"Sizzle!"

A dazzling burst of light and a piercing scorching sound erupted from where the giant hand struck!

The seemingly thick barrier of seven-colored flames remained completely still.

"Huh?" A muffled groan of surprise and anger came from the other side, and the giant hand withdrew as if it had been electrocuted.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a graceful figure emerged from the void.

The newcomer was a girl in a red dress.

She looked to be around sixteen years old, with an unparalleled beauty, skin as white as snow, and exquisite features, as delicate as a celestial being.

A lifelike phoenix pattern between her eyebrows added a touch of holiness and nobility to her.

Her bare, exquisite feet, as white as jade, remained untouched by dust.

With each step, a seven-colored lotus flower with flowing flame patterns naturally blooms beneath one's feet.

The lotus flowers lingered, supporting her figure, making her appear like a goddess whose every step brought forth lotus blossoms.

What's most eye-catching is the incredibly clear phantom of a seven-colored divine phoenix hovering behind her!

The phoenix had magnificent wings and trailed seven long tail feathers, each a different color.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—seven colors flow in and out.

Each corresponds to a supreme law of the Great Dao of Flames, exuding a supreme aura that commands all flames to submit.

Her cultivation level was none other than that of a Great Sage.

Although it was only the first level of the Great Sage realm, the pure and noble phoenix aura emanating from the depths of his bloodline made many cultivators from ancient clans present feel their hearts tremble.

I even had an urge to worship him.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers!

"This is Feng Xi, the princess of the Phoenix Realm this generation—Fairy Feng Xi!"

"My God, it's her! I heard she has reverted to her ancestral phoenix bloodline, possesses unparalleled talent, and is no weaker than the ancient emperor's own son. She actually came here too. Is it to watch the battle of the Lesser Chaos?"

"Definitely."

"I've heard her aunt is Senior Feng Wu, right? That peerless genius who once rivaled the Chaos Emperor and astonished an entire era!"

"Yes, the Phoenix Realm is truly full of geniuses, producing two top-tier geniuses in a row."

"By the way, legend has it that Senior Feng Wu fell in love with the Chaos Emperor and followed in his footsteps, traversing all the heavens. Alas... her love was unrequited..."

"Shh, be quiet! This is a taboo subject in the Phoenix Realm; it must not be discussed lightly!"

Jiang Hao, who was sitting in the corner, choked on the tea he had just taken a sip of and almost spat it out.

"Feng Wu's...niece?"

His gaze fell upon Feng Xi's exquisitely beautiful features, and for a moment, time seemed to flow backward.

"Those eyebrows and eyes... that stubbornness and intelligence in her expression... she's exactly like her aunt when she was young!"

Then, a series of distant images flashed through my mind: on the ancient road of the myriad realms, there was that person who always wore a fiery red battle dress and challenged all kinds of geniuses with a cold face.

He easily defeats all the top talents, yet shows no mercy to them.

The only girl who would slightly curl the corners of her mouth when she was with him.

That stubborn figure who silently followed behind him on the ancient road, traversing countless perilous places...

The gray-robed Taoist boy's telepathic message rang out at just the right moment, clearly suppressing a laugh:

"Your Majesty, if you had taken Senior Feng Wu as your niece back then, this majestic young girl who saved the man would be your niece now."

Jiang Hao's face flushed, and he glared back telepathically: "Shut up, you're just a kid, what do you know!"
