Thump! Thump! Thump!
Little Liu only felt his heart pounding wildly, at a frequency it had never beaten at before.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten how to think, even forgotten who he was, and where he was. He only knew he was filled with Life Qi, filled with sorrow, and nothing else.
Seeing his parents die in front of him, he felt he had to do something.
For example, revenge.
Make those who killed his parents pay the most terrible price!
The blue-robed mage looked at the youth with Red Eyes, and an inexplicable panic rose in his heart! He was different from the guards behind him; he was a First-Level Celestial Master, and neither his strength nor his insight could compare to these ordinary guards. He knew that the stranger something was, the more terrifying it was, especially for such eerie Red Eyes!
Rumble!
The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and rolling thunder could even be heard. Not only that, the normally calm river ahead, the Hunjiang, gradually began to churn, stirring up massive waves!
“Kill him!” The blue-robed mage looked at the various strange phenomena with fear in his heart, not even noticing his voice trembling, and pointed at the child, shouting, “Quick! Go kill him!”
“Yes!” The guards quickly replied.
These guards were also very flustered. Although they didn't understand, seeing the sudden change in weather made them feel eerie. The two guards at the very front immediately drew their swords and quickly walked towards the youth!
The two walked so fast it was almost a run. When they were about to reach the youth, both their swords were raised high, ready to strike down at the youth’s head!
Closer.
Even closer.
Just as the two were about to strike the youth’s head, the youth’s hands slowly rose, facing the two guards.
And as the youth’s hands rose, the two guards discovered in terror that their bodies were uncontrollably rising into the air!
Their bodies struggled frantically in the air, but they couldn't move at all, only screaming and shouting in mid-air. However, just two seconds later, the two of them couldn't make a sound anymore!
The blue-robed Celestial Master and the other guards watched the bizarre scene in the sky with terrified eyes—the guard on the youth’s left hand was sealed by a block of ice, and the guard on the youth’s right hand was surrounded by a blazing ball of fire!
The two guards lost all Life Qi almost instantly. When the youth lowered his hands, the ball of fire fell to the ground, leaving only black ashes, and the block of ice fell to the ground, shattering into pieces!
“Gulp!”
Someone swallowed, and everyone suddenly snapped back to reality. They all looked at the youth in horror, and even the Snow Wolf’s eyes were filled with fear, its fur standing on end, trembling!
“Run!” The blue-robed mage shouted, quickly mounting the Snow Wolf, and the Snow Wolf also let out a shriek, turning to flee quickly with its master!
However, before the Snow Wolf could run half a step, its entire body was instantly frozen! The same went for the blue-robed mage; one person and one wolf, even the Snow Wolf’s body remained in a running posture in mid-air!
The blue-robed mage gritted his teeth, twisting his head to look back with all his might, but he trembled all over, suddenly realizing that all the guards behind him had disappeared!
Only, on the ground behind him, there were many ice cubes and ashes, and the Red Eyes youth was walking through the ashes and ice cubes, just like… just like…
Just like a devil!
When the youth walked in front of the person and the wolf, the blue-robed mage trembled with fear, and after swallowing, he shouted loudly, “I am from the Tianmu City Lord’s Mansion! If you dare to kill me, the Lord’s Mansion will definitely not let you off!”
Although there are many forces in each region, the Lord’s Mansion is definitely the Dominator and definitely the strongest. No force dares to oppose the Lord’s Mansion, otherwise, it is a dead end.
If others heard these words, they would certainly be wary and even let him go, but unfortunately, standing in front of him was a youth who had already lost his mind. The youth could indeed hear what he said, but at this moment, the youth was completely unable to understand any words; the youth’s world was closed off.
A brief pause made the blue-robed mage think his threat had worked. Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly felt a burning sensation all over his body!
He looked down and saw a ball of demonic red flames rising from the Snow Wolf’s feet, spreading rapidly upwards like a vine!
“No! No! No!” The blue-robed Celestial Master screamed frantically, but the flames did not heed his cries, instead growing faster and faster. Soon, the flames had engulfed his lower body, his chest, his mouth, and the top of his head.
The Red Eyes youth looked at the giant ball of flames in front of him, the flames reflecting his face very, very red. The youth stood there, watching the flames burn brighter and brighter, until the flames gradually diminished, gradually turning into ashes and falling to the ground.
Whoosh—
A strong gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes on the ground into thin air, and making the youth’s coarse cloth clothes flap loudly.
The necklace on the youth’s neck swayed in the wind, and the youth looked at the ring, suddenly startled.
Then, the red in the youth’s pupils began to slowly dissipate, turning into black pupils like those of an ordinary person. However, as his pupils returned to normal, Little Liu’s consciousness also grew weaker and weaker.
His consciousness was blurry, he remembered nothing, only that his father told him to escape before he died, so he took steps and walked forward unconsciously, continuously.
The more he walked, the weaker his head felt, the more powerless his legs felt. When he reached the edge of the Fenjiang River, he was already exhausted.
“Father told me to escape…” Little Liu’s eyelids drooped, revealing only half of his eyes, and he said softly, “I must escape…”
Saying that, Little Liu took another step forward.
Immediately, a sensation of weightlessness came, and at that moment, Little Liu had completely lost consciousness.
Plop!
Little Liu fell into the water, splashing up a spray.
On the vast Eight Ancient Continent, the human population is nearly a hundred billion, and even Celestial Masters number in the hundreds of millions. As for all living beings, they are countless. In the very center of the entire Eight Ancient Continent is the world’s most dangerous peak—Celestial God Mountain.
However, although everyone knew that Celestial God Mountain was the most dangerous peak, no one had any desire to conquer it. Or rather, everyone who dared to come here and attempt to climb Celestial God Mountain died, whether they were ordinary people or powerful Celestial Masters, as if they had offended the dignity of the heavens, without mercy.
Over time, no one dared to climb Celestial God Mountain anymore. However, legends about Celestial God Mountain never ceased. Some said that Immortal Qi lingered there, others said it was as cold as an Ice Palace. Some even said it was the Dao to heaven, but no one knew what Celestial God Mountain truly looked like.
In fact, let alone Celestial God Mountain, it was impossible to even approach the foot of Celestial God Mountain. The Eight Ancient Clans mountain range where Celestial God Mountain is located does not belong to any country, nor does any country dare to ignite war here. Even if two armies had to run thousands of miles more for a battle, they would not dare to cross through the Eight Ancient Clans mountain range.
And at this moment, at the very top of Celestial God Mountain, in a courtyard resembling a royal palace, a man dressed in white robes sat cross-legged on a greenish-white stone. His black hair was longer than his waist, falling all the way onto the stone. His entire body exuded an aura like white mist, these Qi were like substance, seemingly chaotic but pulsating with a certain rhythm.
Just then, the man’s brows suddenly furrowed, and in an instant, the surrounding white mist rose up, rushing straight into the air, then whistling and drilling into his body.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared behind the man; it was a purple-haired woman who looked quite attractive. The woman knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, “Heavenly God, has something happened?”
The man, called ‘Heavenly God’, slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and softly said, “He’s back.”
“He?” The purple-haired woman was startled, asking with some confusion, “Who is he?”
Heavenly God did not answer, but slowly stood up on the greenish-white stone, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and even slowly turned around, looking around him.
He looked as if he could stand there and see the entire continent.
“Heavenly God?” The woman kneeling on the ground looked up, somewhat puzzled, at the man on the stone, and asked, “May I ask what I should do?”
The man paused at the words, lowering his head slightly in thought. After a long while, he finally spoke.
“There is no need to do anything,” Heavenly God slowly said, “Some things are fate, and whatever you do is futile.”
