As another dozen years went by, the bottom of the Radiance Flame Volcano resembled a boiling sea of fire. Boundless radiance fire qi waves rushed out from underground, filling the volcanoâs space and spurting out through the volcanic crater into the nine heavens.
A colossal radiance flame tornado appeared above the ninth heavens.
A palpitating power gestated within the tornado that was enough to frighten any low-level Sovereign Realm expert.
Huang Xiaolong appeared translucent amidst the dazzling rays enshrouding him. It was as if he had integrated with the surrounding heaven and earth. His three avatars were enveloped within a thousand zhang light boundary. The energy from their bodies resonated, overlapped, and amplified.
The origin energy from the Three Lives Flower continued to rush into Huang Xiaolongâs body.
Another two years passed by.
Suddenly, the three avatarsâ light boundary expanded exponentially, and their bodies ballooned rapidly, then âboomâ!â
A blast thundered as one of the avatars exploded into the purest form of energy in the world that drilled vigorously into Huang Xiaolongâs body.
Huang Xiaolongâs main body shuddered in small violent jerks. Gradually, Huang Xiaolong began to exude a faint aura of a Sovereign.
Due to the restrictions of the heavensâ law, only the main body could break through to the Sovereign. Most people would forgo their avatars and reabsorbed the avatarâs essence and godforce into the main body to assist the main bodyâs breakthrough. This increased the main bodyâs chances of a successful breakthrough.
Thus, Huang Xiaolong decided to forgo all three of his avatars and merge their essence and godforce into his own body.
Several months later, the second avatar exploded. The avatarâs essence, and godforce rushed into Huang Xiaolongâs body.
The aura of a Sovereign from Huang Xiaolongâs body grew stronger as his cultivation moved upwards.
While Huang Xiaolong was in his second seclusion inside the Radiance Flame Volcano as he inched closer towards breaking through to Sovereign Realm, Reverence Moon Old Man, King of Grandmist, and the rest were making preparations for the upcoming World of Darknessâ battle.
As if the entire myriad worlds felt the tension of the impending battle at the World of Darkness, various superforces issued orders to close up their headquarters and forbade their disciples from venturing out. Even the usually lively main streets and trading markets seemed deserted.
The old monsters that had hidden away from the word now often appeared in the public eyes.
On this day, the Divine World was calm, and matters were moving along smoothly.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the Divine Worldâs space.
At the front of this group was a grand carriage pulled by nine true dragons, and inside the carriage sat two young men. One of them was naturally the young master of the City of All-Heavens, Wan Zhuoyuan. The other young man was exuding an aura that did not lose out to Wan Zhuoyuan. He was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Wan Zhuoyuan. That spoke volumes of this young manâs status and identity.
Behind the grand carriage was the lineup of guards and experts, each exuding a piercing aura.
âTsk, tsk, this Divine World is really like the rumors, plentiful and magnificent.â Wan Zhuoyuan commented as if he was a ruler patrolling his kingdom. He beamed as he added, âAfter seeing this place, I really donât want to go back to the remote and boring City of All-Heavens.â
The other young man smiled as he spoke, âIsnât it a simple matter if Younger Brother Zhuoyuan wants to stay in the Divine World? Just kill that Jiang Hong and take over as the ruler of the Heavenly Court.â
Wan Zhuoyuan chuckled softly, âThat is a good idea. The Darkness Gold Fruit and Blood Of Darkness are about to mature in a yearâs time. We can capture Huang Xiaolong and kill Jiang Hong. We can then govern this Divine Worldâs Heavenly Court together. It would be fun!â
âThis Divine World was originally your Heavenly Worldâs outer peripheral forces,â Wan Zhuoyuan went on, âItâs ludicrous that Jiang Hong and old fogey Grandmist dared to stain this place. In my opinion, Tian Yu, your Heavenly World, should have sent an enforcement team over ages ago to clean up bugs like Jiang Hong and old fogey Grandmist. That way, everyone would have known who the Divine World really belonged to! Who is the real master of the Divine World!â
It was clear from Wan Zhuoyuanâs words that the young man named Tian Yu was someone from the Heavenly World.
The young man named Tian Yu smiled in response, âIn the past, my Imperial Father and Uncle Wan Shi both obtained a supreme technique in the Heavens Path. My Imperial Father has been in seclusion as well all these years to practice the technique. Thus he hasnât had the time to take care of these remote places. That indirectly gave an opportunity to people like Jiang Hong and old fogey Grandmist to cause trouble.â
The two young men chattered harmoniously as they toured around with their guards and subordinates in a carefree mood.
Right at this time, several flying ships appeared on the horizon. There were over twenty flying ships, and each flying ship was actually a low-grade grandmist artifact.
The average Emperor Palaces could hardly own one low-grade grandmist flying artifact, yet there were more than twenty in this group. It was a very obvious indication of this forceâs power.
On each of these flying shipsâ bodies was a huge emblem of a nine-tailed silver fox, representing the Divine Worldâs number one trading house, the Silver Fox Commerce.
The Silver Fox Commerce deployed twenty-plus low-grade grandmist flying ships to ship this batch of cargoes showed how valuable they were.
In the blink of an eye, the Silver Fox Commerceâs fleet came face to face with Wan Zhuoyuan and Tian Yuâs team.
âThe Silver Fox Commerceâs flying ships coming through, the people in front quickly give way!â A voice rang from the frontmost flying ship from the Silver Fox Commerceâs fleet.
Hearing that, both Wan Zhuoyuan and Tian Yu roared in laughter.
âThis is interesting. A Divine Worldâs small trading commerce is actually clamoring us to give them way!?â Tian Yu laughed. Although he was laughing, anyone could tell his laughter was laced with killing intent.
Wan Zhuoyuan chimed in, âThis Silver Fox Commerce is said to be the Divine Worldâs number one trading commerce. They are quite powerful, and even the previous Heavenly Emperor did not dare provoke them. I also found out that this Silver Fox Commerce has some connection with Huang Xiaolong. It seems that their Second Young Miss, Bei Xiaomei, is Huang Xiaolongâs woman.â
Tian Yuâs eyes widened with surprise, then he sneered maliciously, âSo, they are relying on Huang Xiaolong!â
âThe people in front give way immediately!â Another shout came from the opposite side as the Silver Fox Commerceâs fleet bulldozed forward.
Wan Zhuoyuan and Tian Yu watched indifferently as the Silver Fox Commerceâs flying ships sped towards them. Just as the Silver Fox Commerceâs flying ships entered ten thousand li distance from them, the subordinate-experts behind them vanished in a flicker and reappeared right in front of the Silver Fox Commerceâs group. Then, one of the experts extended his palm out, and without any other superfluous action, the Silver Fox Commerceâs leading flying ship exploded.
Blood-curdling cries came from every corner of the flying ship. The cargoes came tumbling out and scattered in space.
The other Silver Fox Commerceâs flying ships halted abruptly.
Inside the flying shipsâ cabin, Bei Xiaomei was discussing something with an icy beauty. The sudden explosion and blood-curdling cries alarmed them.
âWhatâs going on?â The ice beauty snapped to the people outside.
âEldest Miss, Second Miss, itâs not good. Our fleet has just been attacked. One of our flying ships exploded from the other sideâs attack!â One of the Silver Fox Commerceâs experts stepped into the cabin in a fluster, as he reported.
The icy beauty was, of course, the Silver Fox Commerceâs Bei Xiaoji, Bei Xiaomeiâs elder sister.
âWhat!â Inside the cabin, Bei Xiaoji, Bei Xiaomei, as well as Elder Fu, and several other expertsâ faces turned grim. What shocked them was the attacker actually managed to explode their Silver Fox Commerceâs flying ship! Their fleet this time consisted entirely of low-grade grandmist flying ships!
