Chapter 1726: He Isn't Qualified, What About Me?

Reality, Black Stone Relics.

Xu Jingming had just opened his eyes when he saw Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing also simultaneously end their connection to the virtual universe.

"Done!"

Chu Kuang's face lit up with joy:

"The Flame Alliance has already received our appeal and will promptly arrange a Dominator-level expert to come mediate!"

Mu Wanqing also breathed a sigh of relief:

"The Flame Alliance is highly efficient, and Dominator-level experts can still use Divine Kingdom teleportation.

They should arrive here shortly."

"Good."

Xu Jingming nodded.

With the Flame Alliance plus Frost Crown Teacher, double insurance, there should be no problem.

He glanced around.

The entire Black Stone Relics had been ravaged beyond recognition in the earlier battle.

The ground was cracked, mountains collapsed, and everywhere were pits left by lawful impacts.

"Since no matter where we flee, we cannot escape the perception of the Supreme Dominator.

Let's first collect the scattered divine crystals here."

Xu Jingming spoke.

Although these scattered divine crystals are much smaller than the giant divine crystals.

But they make up for it in quantity; collecting them all would also be a decent harvest.

"Good!"

Chu Kuang nodded, while Mu Qingwan asked doubtfully:

"Come to think of it, the Feather God seemed not to be here that day?"

"She has already left, no need to worry about her."

Xu Jingming spoke.

Even when he defeated the Nightmare Candle God, he had sensed the other's departure.

As long as the other did not interfere in the battle, he also did not care.

"Then it's fine."

Mu Wanqing, upon hearing this, nodded, and the three immediately dispersed.

To search in the ruins.

Xu Jingming extended his divine sense, covering tens of thousands of kilometers.

Then it transformed into a golden-green Lei Guang that instantly shot out.

Wherever Lei Guang passed, all divine crystals sensed in the surroundings were collected.

However, shortly after Xu Jingming and the three began searching for divine crystals.

Suddenly——

The entire sky of the Taichu Ancient Battlefield was suddenly dyed a sheet of crimson red!

This was not the morning glow, nor light originating from stars.

But the pure to the extreme fire origin law boiling!

With the Black Stone Relics as the center, a cosmic void of hundreds of millions of kilometers in radius.

Seemed to be plunged into a furnace by an invisible giant hand, with temperature skyrocketing in geometric progression!

The light of distant stars dimmed at this moment, all stars seeming to tremble.

"How... how is this happening?!"

"The temperature is surging! The origin law is wailing! A supreme existence has descended!"

"It is the Dominator! And a fire-origin supreme Dominator!"

"..."

Various places in the Taichu Ancient Battlefield.

Whether it is teams engaged in fierce combat.

Or solitary cultivators quietly contemplating the relics.

At this moment, all were shocked by this sudden anomaly.

They raised their heads to gaze at the sky drenched in crimson.

Feeling the turmoil and unease of divine power within their bodies, their faces wrote shock.

"Here it comes!"

Inside the Black Stone Relics, Xu Jingming's heart jolted, he abruptly raised his head.

Chu Kuang and Mu Wanqing also instantly froze in place, their faces drastically changed.

A tremendous fear stemming from life's instinct descended, making them almost unable to breathe.

Only seen above the Black Stone Relics.

Crimson flames like substantial silk, hanging down from the depths of the universe, slowly gathering into a humanoid figure.

That was a middle-aged man with horns on his head, clad in crimson battle armor.

His height was not particularly exaggerated, only about six meters, but when he appeared in this void.

The entire star field seemed to submit to him!

His features were stern as if carved by knife and axe, his crimson eyes deep as the core of a star.

Wherever his gaze reached, space subtly twisted and melted.

What was most terrifying was the aura naturally emanating from his entire being.

This was not mere pressure, but the manifestation of the fundamental law itself!

The fire origin danced joyfully beside him.

Simply standing there, he seemed to become the center of this heaven and earth!

This is the supreme sovereign!

Standing at the peak of the sovereign stage, he has comprehended a certain fundamental law to the utmost.

A single thought can alter the galaxy, a single rage can burn a star domain—an existence beyond supreme!

"Blazing Heaven Sovereign!"

Chu Kuang and Mu Qingwan's faces instantly turned deathly pale.

Too strong!

So strong it surpassed their comprehension!

If before, facing Royce and the Nightmare Candle God, they could still see hope of resistance.

Now, facing the Blazing Heaven Sovereign, only profound helplessness and despair rose in their hearts!

This was an absolute crushing on the level of life itself!

"This is the supreme sovereign......"

Xu Jingming's pupils also contracted.

Golden-green Lei Ting surged instinctively around his body, forming a protective layer on his surface.

Even with the Chaos Pearl in hand, even with the Purple Nightmare Demon Body empowering him, even having just completed his breakthrough.

Yet facing the Blazing Heaven Sovereign, he still felt immense pressure!

This was not a gap in strength, but a chasm in realm!

Like an ant facing a mountain, a mortal gazing upon a deity!

This was utterly different from the scene when, during his initial cultivation of the Star Core Lei Gang Body, Frost Crown Teacher made a move.

This time, he directly faced the pressure of the supreme sovereign!

"Father! Father, save me!"

Within the Blazing Heaven Mirror, Royce's remnant soul let out a trembling shout of excitement.

Though only a wisp of remnant soul remained.

Yet at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of safety and ecstatic joy!

He has come! Father truly has come!

That damned Su Chen, that ant who dared to harm him, dared to show disrespect to the Blazing Heaven family.

Finally, he must pay the price!

"My son."

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign's gaze fell upon the Blazing Heaven Mirror, his crimson eyes flashing with a hint of heartache and violent fury.

He could clearly sense that Royce's divine body had been completely annihilated.

Only this faint remnant soul, nearly extinguished, remained!

"Father! It's Su Chen!"

Royce's remnant soul screamed hysterically, his voice filled with resentment and hatred:

"He stole my inheritance! Destroyed my divine body!

And worst of all, even as you descended, he still dared to strike at me!

If not for the Blazing Heaven Mirror protecting my remnant soul, I... I would truly be dead!

And that slut Ye Li!

She and Su Chen are in league!

I merely used the Dream-Bead to make her sleep, yet Su Chen went mad and tried to kill me!

Father! You must uphold justice for me!

I want them dead! I want them all dead!"

Royce's lament was shrill and resentful.

He pushed all blame onto Xu Jingming and Ye Li.

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign listened silently, his expression unchanged.

Yet the temperature of the void within hundreds of thousands of kilometers around surged once again!

"Su Chen."

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign finally turned his head slowly, those crimson eyes locking onto Xu Jingming.

No roar, no bellow, only two words spoken with utter calm.

Yet the killing intent contained within those two words made Chu Kuang and Mu Qingwan shudder all over, nearly suffocating!

"You, well done."

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign's voice remained calm, yet each word felt like a heavy hammer striking Xu Jingming's heart:

"You harmed my son's divine body, extinguished his soul, and killed him before my will's incarnation......

How many years has it been since anyone dared so brazenly provoke my Blazing Heaven family?"

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread.

"Blazing Heaven! Halt!"

At this critical moment, a majestic voice suddenly echoed from the void!

Immediately afterward, space rippled like water waves.

A middle-aged man in white-gold battle robes and a star-stepped crown stepped forward.

His face was stern.

Faint gold-origin law fluctuations swirled around him—he was also a Sovereign!

"It's the Star Sovereign—people from the Flame Alliance have arrived!"

Chu Kuang recognized the newcomer, and joy instantly appeared on his face.

The Flame Alliance's efficiency is indeed high—they sent a Sovereign-level expert this quickly!

"Star Sovereign?"

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign paused slightly, his crimson eyes sweeping over the newcomer, his voice carrying a hint of disdain:

"You, a brat who just stepped into the Immortal Sovereign realm, dare to interfere in my affairs?"

The Star Sovereign's expression turned grave, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Blazing Heaven, I already know the full story.

Your son was in the wrong first—if you strike him here,

you are openly challenging the authority of the Flame Alliance!"

His voice rang out powerfully, attempting to suppress the Blazing Heaven Sovereign with Flame Alliance rules.

However—

"Flame Alliance rules?"

The Blazing Heaven Sovereign seemed to have heard a joke, a sneering arc forming at the corner of his mouth:

"Just you, an Immortal Sovereign who hasn't even qualified—dare to talk about rules in front of me?"

As his words fell, he prepared to strike again.

The Star Sovereign's face turned iron-blue, gold-origin laws violently fluctuating around him—clearly enraged to the extreme.

"Blazing Heaven, if you truly wish to strike, speak after you pass my trial!"

He let out a low shout, pushing the gold-origin source laws to their limit.

Forming a massive barrier that shielded Xu Jingming and the others within.

Yet, the Blazing Heaven Sovereign showed no hesitation whatsoever.

Crimson-gold flames surged toward him in a explosive strike!

"It's over! The Blazing Heaven Sovereign doesn't even take the Flame Alliance seriously?"

Chu Kuang and Mu Qingwan both fell into despair.

Xu Jingming was equally solemn in expression.

An Immortal Sovereign blocking a High Sovereign—no different from striking a stone with an egg!

However, just then.

A voice as cold as an ancient icy spring, yet containing supreme majesty, suddenly rang out across the entire starry expanse:

"If the Star Sovereign has no right, then what about me?"
