“Die for me!”

Wang Chong’s eyes chilled, and without a second thought, he flipped his hand over and sent a second roaring wave of golden energy.

This wave of energy was even stronger than the first and was infused with the obliterating power of spacetime.

“Wait a moment!” Surprisingly, when the other party saw Wang Chong, they trembled and called out for him to stop. A hand reached up and pulled off the aloof golden mask.

The people of the Celestial God Organization all deserved death, and from Wang Chong’s perspective, this was a futile gesture that would never change his mind. However, though Wang Chong was determined, when he saw the face beneath the mask, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

“It’s you!”

Beneath the golden mask was a face that Wang Chong had never expected to see.

The High Priest of Arabia!

In the war of the northwest, this legend of Arabia who had lived for several hundred years had joined Khatabah in invading the Great Tang. In the end, Wang Chong had relied on his comprehensions to create the ‘Stellar Universe’ and successfully injure the High Priest of Arabia, shattering his soul and causing his body to plummet from atop a Behemoth.

But after the war, he had been unable to find the High Priest’s body. Moreover, during that battle, Wang Chong sensed that he had not been able to completely kill the Arab High Priest.

Though Wang Chong had been somewhat uneasy at the time, feeling that this was a problem that would crop up in the future, the Arab High Priest had seemingly vanished, not appearing again.

Even when he was taking Baghdad, the Arab High Priest had failed to appear.

With the passage of time, Wang Chong had cast the matter to the back of his mind.

Wang Chong had never imagined that he would appear at this time, in the Sindhu High Priest’s secret cave. This was a completely unanticipated development!

“So it was you!”

Upon recognizing the High Priest, Wang Chong only felt his killing intent increase. Rather than slowing his offensive, he attacked with even greater gusto.

“You’re seeking death!”

This cave was rather cramped and was covered with seals. There was no way of creating an opening to escape, so there was no hope of escaping even if he wanted to.

The Arab High Priest had essentially thrown himself into the net. This was the perfect chance to end things once and for all!

“King of Foreign Lands, we are friends, not enemies! Stay your hand!”

Seeing that Wang Chong had struck, the Arab High Priest paled. Bzzz! He took out a shuttle-shaped ritual tool that transformed into a Stellar Energy barrier to protect him. At the same time, a torrent of Psychic Energy shot forward, carrying his thoughts.

“Moreover, don’t you still want to see the Sindhu High Priest?”

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s world-destroying Grotto Heaven realm energy was only a few feet away from the Arab High Priest’s head. Even with that shuttle-shaped ritual tool, Wang Chong was still confident in his ability to kill him.

But those words seemed to stop time. At the final moment, Wang Chong drew back his palm, and his attack receded with it, scattered into the depths of spacetime by Wang Chong.

“What did you do to him?”

Wang Chong’s eyes chilled as he stared at the Arab High Priest.

“King of Foreign Lands, you’ve misunderstood!”

The Arab High Priest sighed in relief upon seeing Wang Chong fall back.

A man had to be looked upon with a new light after a parting of three days, and in the war in the northeast, Wang Chong had killed Genesis Supreme. He had reached a divine level of strength and had surpassed the vast majority of experts in the world. Even though the High Priest had been holding back the vast majority of his strength in his battle with Wang Chong, he was still no match for Wang Chong.

“…In truth, it’s exactly the opposite of what you think. I do not belong to the Celestial God Organization. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if we’re not friends, we’re certainly not enemies either. In addition, not everyone in the Celestial God Organization is bad,” the Arab High Priest sternly said.

Bang!

The Arab High Priest immediately released the seal within his body, and an enormous energy burst out, his aura explosively rising from the Subtle realm to a hair away from reaching the Grotto Heaven realm.

The current Arab High Priest did not at all seem like some frail Psychic Energy practitioner. Compared to Khatabah, he was much, much stronger.

“If I wanted to kill you, with my original body’s strength, you should understand how the war of the northwest would have turned out!” the Arab High Priest calmly said to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong said nothing, his eyes constantly shifting.

This development was far beyond his expectations. The Arab High Priest was naturally no match for him, but half a year ago, during the war of the northwest, if he had come with this level of strength, that war’s outcome would be very difficult to predict.

One Khatabah had needed everyone to deal with him. If a half-step Grotto Heaven realm Arab High Priest had joined the fray, victory would have been nigh impossible.

“Who are you?” Wang Chong coldly said, narrowing his eyes. He found it somewhat hard to ascertain the Arab High Priest’s goals. It seemed that he was neither on Wang Chong’s side nor on the Celestial God Organization’s side.

“Heheh, King of Foreign Lands only needs to understand the difference.”

The Arab High Priest smiled, knowing that Wang Chong had understood.

“Who I am is irrelevant. All the King of Foreign Lands needs to know is that I am not an enemy. Moreover, I think that the King of Foreign Lands wants to meet someone else, not me.”

Buzz!

As the Arab High Priest spoke, he pressed a hand against the ground of the cave. Their surroundings rumbled as gears groaned, and a narrow passage appeared behind him.

“King of Foreign Lands, follow me. He can’t last for too long!”

The Arab High Priest turned around and entered the passage.

After a few moments of thought, Wang Chong followed.

At his current level of cultivation, he feared no one except Heaven.

The passage wasn’t long, and they soon arrived at a stone chamber.

It was an extremely small stone chamber, even smaller than the cave.

Moreover, the stone chamber was very crude, and there was nothing here besides a round stone table.

But what drew Wang Chong’s attention was the item on the table.

It was a head with its eyes shut.

This head had dark skin and clearly belonged to some Sindhi monk.

“This is…”

The sight of this head made Wang Chong’s eyes twitch.

“Truly the King of Foreign Lands, to so quickly catch on. It is no wonder Genesis Supreme died at your hand.”

There was a hint of praise in the Arab High Priest’s eyes.

“This is the one who summoned you. You are used to calling him the High Priest, but we have another name for him: Origin Supreme.”

Bang!

The Arab High Priest’s casual comment exploded in Wang Chong’s ears.

Even though he had his speculations, he was still blown away upon hearing the name of Origin Supreme from the Arab High Priest’s mouth.

“So, the High Priest was also one of the twelve Supremes?” Wang Chong sternly said.

“You already know about the twelve Supremes? It seems that I don’t need to explain much to you. That Sage Emperor of the Great Tang must have taught you a lot,” the Arab High Priest nonchalantly said.

Wang Chong’s brow furrowed as he sternly said, “Why did they want to kill him?”

The twelve Supremes were the backbone of the Celestial God Organization, Heaven’s most powerful assistants. Logically speaking, the Supremes should have been together instead of three of them joining together to attack another in Sindhu.

“Heheh, this is because they broke apart a very long time ago. He is no longer part of the Celestial God Organization!”

The Arab High Priest smiled.

Boom!

The Arab High Priest’s casual comment stirred up a storm in Wang Chong’s mind.

The twelve Supremes had broken up!

This was the most shocking news that Wang Chong had heard all this time.

“Why?” Wang Chong sternly said.

His mind was in turmoil, but his face remained cool and collected.

“I am sure that this is not your only question, and there are far too many questions that you need answers to. Rather than ask me, you should let him answer. After all, he was a true core member of the Celestial God Organization and will be privy to many secrets that I am not. And was he not the one who summoned you?”

The Arab High Priest did not directly answer, instead turning to the head on the table.

Wang Chong’s eyes also turned to the head. It looked like the head of a very ordinary Sindhi, with nothing special about it. But with Wang Chong’s cultivation, he was quickly able to sense that there was a familiar energy within the head.

“This head is from a body I found on the Hyderabad Mountains. This attack was led by Essence Supreme, who was assisted by Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme. It is impossible to save someone from them. All I could do was preserve a sliver of his soul at the final moment and then move it to this head of a Hyderabad miner.

“You will not have much time. Seize this opportunity. This is as much as I can help you with.”

The Arab High Priest reached out a shriveled hand and flicked his fingers. A dark green light drifted into the head on the table like a firefly…

There was no response from the head at first, but a few moments later, Wang Chong felt that familiar energy blooming like flowers in springtime.
