Above the Star Realm, within a dark and deep wormhole, a voice emerged. The person hadn't arrived yet, but their voice preceded them, and within their words, a sense of dominance and confidence was clearly displayed, causing everyone in the Star Realm to suddenly feel their hearts sink, completely snapping out of their previous surprise.
Then, everyone saw a man wearing a gray robe with deep eyes that glowed with a faint light walk out from within the wormhole. The moment he appeared before everyone, his gaze was like a venomous snake hunting, looking towards the Star Realm with a sinister ferocity.
Suddenly, Soul Extinguisher's gaze abruptly froze, as if Time had been paused, and he stopped in place, not even putting down the foot he had lifted.
He saw someone who wasn't within his perception appear before him. That person was wearing a white shirt, and seemed to know they were coming, watching their group quietly and silently. He was clearly there all along, but if not for seeing him with their eyes, no one would have noticed him!
The person looked extremely young, with a cold expression, yet there was no aura of a powerful expert; he looked like an ordinary person.
But Soul Extinguisher's expression suddenly became incredibly solemn. Someone who could disappear from his perception couldn't be an ordinary person! To put it another way, someone who could hide in front of him was unfathomable!
He had an intuition that on Zhao Li's body, there was a deeply hidden but extremely powerful aura that could pose a threat to them!
This feeling was extremely strange; he was clearly just a very ordinary person, yet he exuded a dangerous aura.
"How could there be such an existence in Starfall Pavilion? Why do I feel like I've seen him before?"
Soul Extinguisher was very cautious, muttering to himself.
His mind was sharp. The moment he saw Zhao Li, he knew that Hun Shang had most likely fallen at his hands.
But before he could think further, he saw Zhao Li move. He raised his hand, turned his palm, and pressed down. In an instant, he seemed to feel the entire world exerting pressure on him, as if trying to force him to kneel.
"Heh heh, not much ability, but quite the boast! I'd like to see who can make Starfall Pavilion disappear today!"
Zhao Li suddenly chuckled, somewhat unable to stand Soul Extinguisher's small stature and arrogant tone, and spoke mockingly. Immediately, he attacked fiercely. With his movement, all the energy here was mobilized by him, surpassing even the power displayed by the Primordial Spirit Emperor when he borrowed his body!
Facing Zhao Li's attack, Soul Extinguisher's first reaction wasn't to resist, but to take out a Jade Slip and crush it to call for reinforcements!
He finally knew why he felt a sense of familiarity. More than sixty years ago, in a Ruins, he had been suppressed by someone who simply raised a hand and turned a palm, forcing him to kneel. That face, except for being a bit more youthful than the person before him, was almost identical!
And he clearly remembered that person could fight against the Clan Head!
*Crack!*
Several cracking sounds rang out consecutively. Some of the sounds were slightly softer, but Soul Extinguisher couldn't even bother to distinguish them, as he crushed all the Jade Slips in his hand. The other sound was from him being pressed down from The Void, hitting the ground, and his lower leg sinking into the earth.
Zhao Li looked at the person before him and recognized his identity instantly. At this moment, it was like old friends meeting again, and he greeted Soul Extinguisher:
"Soul Extinguisher, long time no see."
He had seen Soul Extinguisher before, but at that time, he was only at the Dou Sect Realm, and it was only because of Ghost Possession that he could stand before him. At that time, he didn't know this person was Soul Extinguisher, only thinking he was an unnamed Dou Sheng among the many Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan. Later, after seeing Hun Tiandi, he didn't pay attention to these Nobody anymore. Only later did he learn that he was actually a Villain Boss in the original story.
Hearing Zhao Li's words, Soul Extinguisher became even more certain of the thoughts in his heart. Zhao Li was that terrifying existence from the Ruins decades ago. His heart was filled with shock, various thoughts flashed, and finally turned into a prayer. At this point, he no longer cared what punishment he would receive; he only hoped that people from the clan would come quickly and capture this person.
Because he clearly remembered that Hun Tiandi had said that Zhao Li's immense strength was due to the Remnant Soul within him, and that he himself was actually not worth worrying about. But now, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any part of Zhao Li that was not worth worrying about. If Zhao Li were allowed to continue growing, it was likely that the clan's great plan would be affected.
Zhao Li looked at the shock in Soul Extinguisher's eyes, and a sigh quietly rose in his heart. He didn't know when it started, but Soul Extinguisher, who he once considered very strong, even so strong that he had changed his appearance and hid cautiously just knowing of his existence, was no longer worth his attention.
Immediately, a brilliant light bloomed in his hand. Within it, all things seemed to be born and die, cycling endlessly, as if all the mysteries of the world were evolving within it, making people unable to help but become lost in it.
This was indeed the case. Whether it was the people from the Soul Hall or the group from Starfall Pavilion, when that Ball of Light appeared, they unconsciously looked over. Then, in their eyes, which had not yet recovered from Soul Extinguisher's grand entrance followed by his immediate kneeling, the shock quietly faded, replaced by a spreading sense of confusion.
Then, Zhao Li's mind moved, and he struck out with a palm, targeting Soul Extinguisher and the people of the Soul Hall.
Facing the earth-shattering palm strike from Zhao Li, the people of the Soul Hall were still lost in the Ball of Light that seemed to depict the evolution of the world. Soul Extinguisher, who bore the brunt of the attack, seemed to not have reacted at all, making no movement. There was no fear in his eyes; what was displayed was actually a hint of awe and curiosity.
Just then, the Void where Starfall Pavilion was located was ripped open again, and a man wearing a Gray-White Robe, with a face like flawless jade, looking like a scholar, appeared before the people of the Soul Hall. He lightly stretched out his palm and grabbed towards the brilliant Metal palm.
*Boom!*
The two palms collided, and a loud sound spread, but it only lasted for an instant before fading into silence, as if the previous sound was just an illusion.
Feeling the Origin power contained within the giant Metal palm, a ripple appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes, which had been calm for a long time, and his expression changed for the first time!
In the past, when he used this move, any attack, except for those from Gu Yuan, who was at the same Realm as him, would be dispersed. But now, his usually successful method had not worked!
With just one exchange, he knew that the person before him was most likely an existence like himself!
Although somewhat surprised, he was still Hun Tiandi, the true peak existence in this world. The next moment, he twisted and blocked with his hand, and the energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged towards him. For a moment, a terrifying energy Wind, far more powerful than before, formed within the Star Realm. Then, under his guidance, Zhao Li's palm was deflected and struck a tall mountain nearby.
Another loud sound spread. Under Zhao Li's terrifying palm, that hundred-zhang tall mountain was directly reduced by more than half, as if it had never existed.
Under that loud sound, everyone finally woke up, sweat beading on their foreheads. They had almost become lost in it, turning into mindless zombies. Then, they looked towards the battlefield.
In the battlefield at this moment, the two stood facing each other. After one exchange, neither made any other moves, just carefully observing the other, their eyes flickering, wondering what they were thinking.
After a long while, Hun Tiandi was the first to speak:
"It's you?"
