Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly; one would not have noticed it without looking closely.
However, Liu Tianji and the others, along with the Great Sect’s Silver Immortal Seekers, were all stunned. They stared at the Honorable Master’s true face, instantly petrified. He looked exactly like Xiete Lei.
How could this be possible?
"Do you see clearly now?" Xiete Lei, figuring that revealing his true face might not be a bad thing, said with a slight smile, "How about we collaborate? I’ve been preparing for many years and have collected the secrets of powerful figures from nations all across the Surface World. We can use these to threaten them. When the ti cos, you’ll have the power and I’ll have the secrets. If we join forces, the world will be ours."
Liu Tianji and the rest turned to Wu Tian, waiting for his decision.
"Heh," Wu Tian scoffed, his face filled with disdain.
Seeing this, Xiete Lei’s eyes shifted. "I have blueprints for a spaceship. Not a rocket that just launches into the sky, but a genuine spaceship!"
Liu Tianji and the others exchanged glances of disbelief. The sa was true for the Great Sect’s Silver Immortal Seekers. Within the entire sect, only the Twelve Golden Immortal Seekers knew the Honorable Master’s true identity.
"Could it be true?"
"What’s true?"
"The rumors say that Xiete Lei is an alien!"
Xiete Lei had once collaborated with aliens. So even said he was an alien himself. This speculation had been widely debated across the Surface World for ages.
"How about it? Interested?" at this mont of life and death, he extended an invitation to Wu Tian. "Our goal cannot be limited to just this Earth! As n, our ambitions must be grander! Our journey is... the Starry Sea!"
Before Wu Tian could say anything, the little creature in his arms cried out in dissatisfaction, "Dumbass!"
Wu Tian nodded in agreent. "Indeed. That’s my opinion as well."
"You..." Xiete Lei was stunned for a long mont before retorting, "You don’t understand the aspirations of a true man!"
"I shall take my leave!"
After a cupped-fist salute, he prepared to leave.
"Did I say you could go?" Wu Tian’s eyes turned icy as he watched him.
Xiete Lei, an embodint of imperialist ideology! Back when Fusang battled Dragon Country, Xiete Lei had a hand in it!
Xiete Lei continued to walk away, not turning back at the sound of Wu Tian’s voice. At that mont, Wu Tian’s eyes grew cold. With a flick of his finger, the Bright King Fire consuming the prairie leaped onto Xiete Lei’s body.
"As a demon," Wu Tian’s voice was chilling, "you’ve lived for far too long. It’s ti you went to hell."
Xiete Lei, anwhile, began to scream miserably, "The fire! Put out the fire!"
As Xiete Lei burned, the faint scent of roasting flesh filled the air in the blink of an eye. Only then did the Golden and Silver Immortal Seekers slowly co to their senses. They looked on at the... barbecue.
SIZZLE!
The aroma of cooked at spread, accompanied by Xiete Lei’s agonizing screams. The Twelve Golden Immortal Seekers were dumbfounded. They had followed Xiete Lei with all their hearts, believing he would lead them to conquer the universe. During the last global war, scientists had declared that Earth’s lifespan was limited. If humanity didn’t find a suitable planet, it would face extinction. The Twelve Golden Immortal Seekers believed Xiete Lei was the savior of all mankind.
But now, their savior was engulfed in flas, being roasted alive while letting out piercing cries of agony.
"Save him!"
"Yes, quickly, save him!"
"He’s the hope of all humanity!"
The Twelve Golden Immortal Seekers shouted, but the Silver Immortal Seekers didn’t dare move a muscle.
DRIP. DROP.
Beads of cold sweat trickled down their foreheads. They had only wanted to profit from the clash between two titans, but instead, they had fallen into this perilous trap. Before them, Wu Tian was a figure of demonic cruelty. He had roasted a man alive, yet his expression showed no ripple of emotion. It was so terrifying that the Silver Immortal Seekers’ scalps tingled, and they remained frozen in place.
anwhile, Xiete Lei thrashed in the flas, terrified and despairing, until he was finally roasted to death. The Bright King Fire, under the masterfully precise control of Wu Tian’s Spiritual Power, didn’t reduce him to ash but left behind a charred corpse.
At this sight, not only the Silver Immortal Seekers but even the Twelve Golden Immortal Seekers were trembling so hard their legs could barely support them. They were utterly shocked. Wu Tian’s ruthlessness was simply inconceivable.
In their eyes, how could Xiete Lei even compare to Wu Tian? Wu Tian was the true devil, wasn’t he?
They exchanged glances and imdiately prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling like leaves in the wind. They understood the principle that a wise man submits to the tis.
"Mr. Wu Tian... We... Our Great Sect is willing to submit and join the No Heaven Villa! From now on, you will be the revered one in the Underground World!"
"Yes, the Underground World will revere you! You will be number one on the Surface World and the supre ruler of the Underground World! You will be the first dual-crowned Supre in history! The First Emperor!"
"Long live! Long live! Long, long live Your Majesty!"
They knelt one by one, kowtowing desperately and chanting praises. They didn’t dare to lift their heads for even a glance, terrified of eting Wu Tian’s eyes, which brimd with Killing Intent. But they figured that by submitting, they should be fine, right? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms fell, their forr officials went on to serve the Jin Dynasty. When the Sui Dynasty fell, its old officials also served in the Tang Dynasty. They assud Wu Tian would surely accept their submission. After all, his three hundred n, though powerful, were too few to rule effectively, and that would look bad.
But they had no idea that as Wu Tian looked down upon them, his eyes filled with profound disdain.
"Your Honorable Master just died, and you’re already trying to acknowledge as your new leader? Do curs like you even qualify to be my subordinates?"
As Wu Tian’s voice fell, streaks of Blood Glow erupted.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
The air shrieked as it was torn apart, emitting the crisp sound of sothing breaking the void. The crimson light descended upon the Immortal Seekers of the Great Sect like a tidal wave.
"No!"
Terrified, so stood frozen on the spot while others scrambled to their feet to flee. But the Blood Glow pursued them, relenting only upon their deaths.
AHHH!
In an instant, piercing screams echoed through the air as mutilated bodies collapsed into pools of blood. And so, the Great Sect, which had been called the number one power in the Underground World, was utterly annihilated.
This was an outco that Wu Tian himself had not anticipated. He had only set out to deal with the Evil Alliance. The Great Sect, however, had effectively traveled a thousand miles just to offer up their own lives. How could I, Wu Tian, refuse to collect?
Liu Tianji and Yuan Beizheng stared blankly at the scene. Their ancestors, Yuan Tiangang and Liu Bowen, had long predicted that Wu Tian would change the Underground World, but they had thought it would be a lifelong struggle.
They never expected it to be resolved in less than a month. With No Heaven Villa now supre, they could finally establish rules for the people of the Underground World to follow.
Wu Tian also breathed a sigh of relief. The situation had been resolved more easily than he had imagined. Just then, he suddenly heard a voice that only he could hear.
"The trial begins! Return to the Surface World imdiately. That is the location of the trial. Whether or not you obtain the legacy of the Heavenly Gods will depend on if you can uncover the trial’s objective and complete it."
