In the real world, the city lights began to twinkle.
Xuan Hao stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the modern metropolis below.
After the Fusion with the eyeball, his Physical Body's strength had recovered, like a thawing river, surging endlessly within his frame.
“A1, or A2-Level?”
Xuan Hao closed his eyes and looked inward, examining this new power.
Now, without needing to borrow the power of his Primordial Spirit, he could reach the realm of an A-level martial artist with just this Physical Body.
But, this was only the beginning.
The true core lay in the depths of his Mental Energy, the recovery of that vast Primordial Spirit.
However, Xuan Hao knew that a tall platform is built from accumulated earth.
This was destined to be a process requiring the patience of water eroding stone, and the accumulation of long years.
With a slight thought, he entered his Mental Domain.
The scene here was completely different from the outside world.
What was previously a greyish-white mist was now imbued with a chilling dark red hue, exuding a sense of suppression that made the Soul tremble.
The sky seemed to be silently weeping blood.
Crucially, the scope of the Mental Domain had expanded.
The entire Financial Street, as well as the nearby residential areas, were enveloped within it.
Above the swirling sea of blood-red mist, the colossal Primordial Spirit still stood tall, reaching the heavens, and on its central head, there was a newly formed left eye.
It was no longer a blurry shadow.
Instead, it was a clear, dark red giant pupil!
In the depths of the pupil, complex spiral patterns slowly rotated, radiating a captivating blood-red glow.
....
“Buzz!”
A slight ripple spread through the sea of blood-red mist.
Several figures emerged from the mist, appearing at the edge of the scarlet world.
The leader was naturally Qu Huaiwei.
She wore a black robe, her face covered by a ceramic mask.
Behind her, in order, followed the excited Flower-Faced Man, the Bald Strong Man with a complex expression, and a Dwarf Man with unease in his eyes.
“This is….”
The moment he stepped in, the Bald Strong Man gasped.
Underfoot was scarlet mist, as if he was treading on viscous blood.
Overhead was an endless, swirling blood-red dome.
As far as the eye could see, the outline of the modern city had been distorted.
Only the towering figure in the distant mist was vaguely visible, exuding infinite pressure.
“What kind of power is this?”
The Bald Strong Man’s voice trembled slightly.
He looked around, the entire Financial Street, and those high-end residential areas nearby….
All were covered by an incomprehensible great power.
As an A-level martial artist, his understanding was shattered at this moment.
The power of human Martial Artists was as insignificant as dust before such world-changing power.
Even the Great Black Buddha Mother….
Did not possess such might.
Beneath the ceramic mask, Qu Huaiwei’s face also showed a flicker of shock.
When it last appeared, this sea of mist only covered a few streets.
But now, with only a partial recovery of the True Lord’s power, the Mental Energy’s coverage had expanded by more than ten times.
This meant that the True Lord’s ability to interfere with reality had increased by more than one magnitude.
This magnificent scene itself was proof of the True Lord’s recovery.
“He… is the Five Prison Corpse Disassembly Immortal?”
“No, he is the True Lord?”
The Dwarf Man’s voice trembled, pointing to the vague outline of the three-headed giant skull deep within the mist.
Under the gaze of that scarlet giant eye, he felt his Soul could be torn apart at any moment.
Seeing this, the Flower-Faced Man couldn't help but straighten his back.
“How about it?”
The Flower-Faced Man’s face showed a sense of superiority:
“This is the true Divine Power! It’s countless times stronger than your Great Black Buddha Mother who ran away.”
“Before, with the Buddha Mother, you were just a thug leader; it was good enough to hear some sounds. To see her true face? Not even in your dreams, right? Look now!”
The Flower-Faced Man looked at the two bald men, feeling incredibly pleased:
“Under the True Lord’s command, we can face the divine countenance directly!”
No sooner had he spoken….
“Boom!”
The surrounding scarlet mist suddenly stirred, swirling and rolling, and a giant vortex instantly formed.
The four had no time to react.
As an irresistible pulling force came from their bodies, their vision became disoriented, wildly flickering and reassembling.
When they regained their senses….
They were already in a completely different environment.
Underfoot was a smooth floor, and beside them were giant floor-to-ceiling windows.
Qu Huaiwei looked outside and immediately understood the situation; they had arrived at the top floor of the Central Building.
“What’s going on….”
The Dwarf Man was still in shock.
At the same time, the swirling sea of blood-red mist did not stop changing.
In the spacious hall, thick mist gathered and shaped, and an ancient rectangular long table materialized.
On both sides of the long table were ancient high-backed chairs.
And at the head of the long table, that chair was the most majestic.
The top of its towering backrest glittered, as if inlaid with miniature suns, moons, and stars.
Just a glance at it made people feel disoriented.
At the end of the long table, the mist quietly parted.
Xuan Hao slowly walked out, and the mist returned to tranquility.
He sat at the last seat, his calm gaze sweeping over the four.
“Esteemed Emissary.”
Qu Huaiwei and the Flower-Faced Man immediately bowed in salute.
The two bald men stood frozen in place.
A chill swept through them, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.
They had never expected that, having just joined the organization and entered this divine Domain for the first time, they would directly face this terrifying existence.
Especially the Bald Strong Man; not long ago, he had been an enemy, commanding his subordinates to surround and kill the other party.
The immense pressure almost suffocated him.
Xuan Hao slightly raised his hand, gesturing for Qu Huaiwei and the others to take their seats.
The moment they sat down, Qu Huaiwei’s peripheral vision swept over Xuan Hao’s end seat and the star-studded main seat, which symbolized supreme authority.
A horrifying thought, like a bolt of lightning, struck her.
The Esteemed Emissary sat at the very end?
Then this main seat… she guessed what it meant.
“Boom!”
Terrifying pressure suddenly erupted!
It was as if a star exploded, and light wildly twisted and deformed.
The long table, the chairs, the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, all matter began to violently spin, collapse, and reassemble on a visual level.
The foundation of reality completely crumbled at this moment.
“What?!”
The Bald Strong Man and the Dwarf Man grunted, their knees giving way, and they directly knelt on the ground.
The Flower-Faced Man also instantly prostrated himself.
Qu Huaiwei barely managed to support her trembling body, feeling her Soul being mercilessly torn apart.
At the main seat, an enormous scarlet eyeball emerged, and merely its act of opening its eye almost crushed the Mental Energy of Qu Huaiwei and the others into dust.
Immediately after, the blood-red thick mist began to take shape.
In just a moment.
A figure sat upon the star-studded main seat.
He was of normal human height, but when one’s gaze fell upon him, the heavens and earth in the four’s field of vision were occupied by his sky-obscuring figure.
Three heads and six arms, like a God.
In the environment around him, several winding and flowing Scarlet Immortal Silks encircled him.
The giant scarlet eyes slowly rotated…
His cold gaze instantly pierced through the bodies of the four.
Fear! Indescribable!
The oppressive power, originating from the highest order of life, clutched at their hearts; even breathing seemed like a luxury.
“Greetings, True Lord!”
Qu Huaiwei was the first to react.
“Greetings, True Lord.”
The Flower-Faced Man, the Bald Strong Man, and the Dwarf Man followed suit, prostrating themselves completely.
