The Supreme Lord Donghuang

The Divine Light Sect had been thrown into chaos after that one line from Zhou Donghuang. Under such circumstances, if the sect did not do anything, how could it continue to maintain its reputation on Ziyun planet? If the Divine Light Sect did not take any retaliatory action, it would definitely become the laughing stock for the other four large sects in Ziyun planet.

“This… that sounds like Zhou Donghuang!” Although two years had passed, as one of the three Golden Essence elders in the Divine Light Sect, Ci Xuan could recognize the owner of the voice that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than the young man whom he had met in the black market, Zhou Donghuang.

“His strength… is he so powerful that he does not even fear the three of us?” Ci Xuan’s face was serious as the thought crossed his mind. A man who had been able to defeat Tuo Ku two years ago would definitely have grown in strength since then. He would not even doubt it if one said that the man was stronger than him now.

But, stronger than just him was hardly the same as being able to take on all three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. Even for himself, if he were in Zhou Donghuang’s place, he would not last longer than three breaths. Furthermore, both he and his senior had spirit weapons. Together, their power was incomparable to that before.

Soon, Tuo Jin, the leader of the sect, came to the door as he said seriously to Ci Xuan, “Elder Ci Xuan, the visitor is not friendly… may you and senior please help us to protect the dignity of our sect!”

Tuo Jin’s senior was none other than Ci Yun, Ci Xuan’s senior and one of the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. He was the most powerful man in the sect! Ci Yun was almost 280 years old, and if he did not reach the Dharma stage within the next twenty years, he would reach the end of his life. Hence, in recent times, Ci Yun had rarely appeared before people.

But what had happened that day threatened the pride of the Divine Light Sect, hence even though the leader of the sect, Tuo Jin, was reluctant to disturb his senior, but he had no choice but to do so.

“Senior Ci Xuan, you have seen Zhou Donghuang and even spoken to him… that voice just now, was it him?” Although Tuo Ku had already guessed as much, he could not help but ask.

“Yes,” answered Ci Xuan.

…

Every elder and disciple of the Divine Light Sect who was at least in the Primal Core stage had all gathered in the sky, floating in formation as they stared at a white figure in the distance.

“So this is the man who claimed to kill Tenth Elder? And even said that he was waiting for us to avenge the death of Tenth Elder?” The group of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect all stared at the young man in white in shock.

“Where is his arrogance coming from?”

“This young man looks at most twenty years old… he is already a mid Primal Core adept?”

“Could he be Zhou Donghuang?”

…

Just as the group of elders and disciples from Divine Light Sect were discussing fervently, a booming voice resounded and disrupted their discussion. “Distinguished Elder is here!”

The distinguished elder of Divine Light Sect, Lin Jue was one of the three Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect. Most importantly, Lin Jue was the grandfather of Lin Hantian, the tenth elder of the sect. Lin Hantian was his sole grandson; he was so important to Lin Jue that he even valued him more than himself!

“It was you who killed my grandson, Lin Hantian?” Lin Jue was an old man dressed in a long gray robe, his white hair tied up behind his back. His frame was skinny, and he looked almost like a deity there. But now, as Lin Jue confronted Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were piercing, its intensity enough to make one shiver in fright.

“Distinguished Elder.” Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, two figures had already emerged from the crowd and came behind Lin Jue and greeted him respectfully. They glared at Zhou Donghuang. These were both old men who looked as old as Lin Jue. They were his disciples and the late Primal Core adepts of Divine Light Sect.

“Yes,” replied Zhou Donghuang flatly.

Instantly, Lin Jue turned red with fury. His gray robe billowed despite the still air, the golden inner Yuan that surrounded his body glowing even brighter.

“Lad, since you are looking for death, I shall grant you your wish!” In that instant, Lin Jue totally disregarded Ci Xuan’s warning about the possible backing that Zhou Donghuang had.

All he had in his mind was one thought: kill Zhou Donghuang and seek revenge for his grandson Lin Hantian!

If Zhou Donghuang really had some powerful backing, he would just escape from Ziyun planet after killing him. He did not believe that he would be able to find him in the whole universe!

Boom!

Just as Lin Jue’s words left his mouth, a thunderous sound seemed to shake the eardrums of all the elders and disciples in the crowd that had gathered in the air. This was the sound of Lin Jue’s golden inner Yuan turning into a bolt of golden lightning that streaked straight towards Zhou Donghuang.

“Senior, I will help you!”

“You will die today for killing Lin Hantian!”

As Lin Jue streaked out towards Zhou Donghuang, his two disciples also followed him, their arrogance evident.

In that moment, the crowd stared at Zhou Donghuang. As everybody watched on, it was only when Lin Jue had crossed more than half the distance and was almost at Zhou Donghuang did Zhou Donghuang finally react. On his calm and expressionless face, his mouth finally curled slowly upwards. It was a mocking smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang transformed into a line of ten shadows, leaving one at the original spot as the line of shadows trailed behind him.

Lin Jue landed right at Zhou Donghuang’s shadow, meeting with nothing.

“Not good!” Lin Jue did not expect Zhou Donghuang to be so fast. After his strike had landed on nothing, his expression changed as he screamed, “Be careful!” He turned around hurriedly to rescue his two disciples.

But just as he turned, he saw Zhou Donghuang and his shadows streak past the two disciples. As he passed them, the heads of the two disciples rose to the skies. Zhou Donghuang had simply beheaded the two of them as he rushed past them at an unimaginable speed!

The heads of Lin Jue’s two disciples still had an expression of anger. They clearly did not have the time to react before they had been killed by Zhou Donghuang.

…

Seeing the young man in white easily kill the two late Primal Core elders of the Divine Light Sect, the crowd of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect all sucked in a deep breath. Their eyes were filled with utter astonishment.

This man who looked at most twenty years of age had so much power?

This power must be equivalent to that of an ultimate Primal Core adept?

“Father… isn’t Brother Donghuang simply too powerful?” On the back of the golden-crowned eagle, Little Gold, Chen Yong looked at the young man in white as if he was a god, his eyes filled with admiration.

He recognized the two old men. They were the fourth and ninth elder of the Divine Light Sect, who were both late Primal Core adepts. The power of the fourth elder was even stronger than his grandfather, the sixth elder of the sect, Tuo Ku!

“Yong’er, Brother Donghuang is now the enemy of our Divine Light Sect… if you want to call him Brother Donghuang, you had better keep your volume down, otherwise if someone hears it, they will produce a whole article on it,” said Chen Yan softly to his son. He was afraid that his son’s words would cause unhappiness in some others.

“Didn’t you go to the capital? Why are you back?” Just then, an old monk in a silver robe with a stocky build and ferocious brows landed on the back of Little Gold. Just as Little Gold noticed this stranger on its back and was about to angrily chase him away, Chen Yong and Chen Yan greeted the newcomer.

“Grandpa.”

“Father.”

Hearing this, Little Gold then suppressed its anger. This whole journey, it had had a good impression of the father and son of the Chen family, so now he decided to show them some face.

“Mm.” The newcomer was none other than Tuo Ku, the sixth elder of the Divine Light Sect. He stared seriously at the young man in white who kept morphing his shape. Lin Jue could not touch him at all. “This Zhou Donghuang is even more powerful than Distinguished Elder… he is simply playing with him!”

Realizing that both his disciples had been slaughtered by Zhou Donghuang, Lin Jue was furious. He struck out at Zhou Donghuang again. But Zhou Donghuang’s movements were so ridiculously fast that Lin Jue, who was a Golden Essence adept, could not even get close to him.

In that moment, Zhou Donghuang emanated an inner Yuan that was no longer a milky white color, but a brilliant silver color.

“How did he do that? Isn’t he a mid Primal Core adept?” Not only had Chen Yan noticed the change in Zhou Donghuang’s inner Yuan, but all the other elders and disciples in the crowd had also noticed the change.

At the start, as he had stood there without any movement, the glow that surrounded Zhou Donghuang was clearly a milky white, the hallmark of a mid Primal Core adept. But now, as he evaded the attacks from Lin Jue and when he killed the two disciples earlier, his inner Yuan was a silver color. Now, the inner Yuan that surrounded him was so intense that it seemed like he was immersed in a great silver flame.

“Only the inner Yuan of a late Primal Core adept can be so thick!”

“No wonder fourth elder and eighth elder were killed in an instant by him… this inner Yuan is more than twice as intense as that of any ordinary Silver Essence adept.”

…

The crowd of Divine Light elders and disciples stared at Zhou Donghuang with amazement. He had truly toppled all that they had known about Silver Essence adepts.
