Jun Kong had been viciously crushed by Ming Dong in an almost embarrassing manner. As the supreme prodigy of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound and a proud supreme Godking on the Godkingsâ Throne, he refused to accept it. He had become furious long ago. And now that he saw his beloved Muâer not only fail to comfort him while he was so injured but instead treat him so coldly, stating their relationship clearly, his fury immediately turned on him. As a result, he vomited a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.
Afterwards, Jun Kong seemed like he had experienced a huge stimulant. He began to laugh aloud with his deformed mouth as he said in an unclear voice, âJian Chen? Youâre still thinking about Jian Chen? Hahahaha, Shangguan Muâer, you probably still donât know, but your Jian Chen that you could never let go of has died long ago. Itâs a true death this time. His corpse has been buried in the lava beneath you. Youâll never be able to see him again in this life. Hahahaha...â Jun Kong became more excited the more he spoke as if Jian Chenâs death was the only matter that could free his mind and ease his pain.
However, to Jun Kongâs disappointment, he failed to see any sorrow from Shangguan Muâer. Currently, her expression remained the same, completely emotionless.
âIâll leave Jun Kong to you to protect. You donât need to follow me anymore. I donât need your protection,â Shangguan Muâer said to the Godkings around Jun Kong.
The Godkings from the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound looked at one another and seemed troubled. They had no idea what to do now.
To another side, the faces of Gong Zheng, Bai Yi, and Cang Ying immediately became extremely ugly as they watched Ming Dong approach them slowly like a god of slaughter. Right now, they could no longer rely on the supreme Godkings gathered there to step forward and stop Ming Dong.
After these matters, Ming Dongâs current might was so great that the three supreme Godkings felt like they were suffocating.
Perhaps he could tell Gong Zhengâs worries, so Jia Na patted Gong Zhengâs shoulder. He said sternly, âGong Zheng, you donât need to worry too much. Since youâre the successor to the Solitary Sword lineage, I wonât let anything happen to you here. Leave it all up to me.â
With that, Jia Na took a step forward and looked at Ming Dong. He growled, âMing Dong, I hope you can stop here. Weâve not all gathered here today to watch you exact revenge. Donât get in the way of everyone just for your personal grievances. Youâll tarry our matters, which are even more important.â With that, a powerful presence flooded out from Jia Naâs body. The lava below him churned with huge waves.
Jia Naâs presence was so powerful that it had completely exceeded most supreme Godkings. After all, he was ranked ninety-ninth on the Godkingsâ Throne. Just this ranking alone was enough for him to look down on all opponents of the same level.
As expected, as soon as Jia Na revealed his presence, the eyes of many supreme Godkings present narrowed as they showed fear in the depths of their gazes.
âYou want to stop me?â Ming Dong strode through the air as he glared at Jia Na. He said with a voice filled with killing intent, âYou are indeed very strong, but you still canât stop me from killing them.â
âMing Dong, if we do end up fighting, there will naturally be a clash between god artifacts. That will lead to eruptions from all the volcanoes here, and at that time, there wonât be any safe place on the eighth floor. It will affect everyone here. Do you really want to become the enemy of all of us?â Jia Na growled. Ming Dongâs origins were still a mystery to him, so Jia Na was unwilling to just begin fighting with him so easily.
âWeâve come here in search of that little girl. If you keep fighting, youâll get in the way of all of our matters. Fellow Ming Dong, I do hope that you can stop here...â
âIf you want to fight, go fight somewhere else. Donât get in our way...â
...
At the same time, quite a few powerful and confident supreme Godkings spoke out to stop the battle. However, there were even more Godkings who backed off far away, and they all arrived at the passages to higher or lower floors. These people were ready to leave immediately as soon as they began fighting.
âLetâs go and stay out of this for now. Ming Dong comes from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. We canât offend him over a small matter like this.â A few supreme Godkings who knew about Ming Dongâs origins backed off far away as quickly as possible with their guards and followers.
Ming Dong and Jia Na were both brandishing their weapons. They could begin fighting at any time.
âMing Dong, please calm down,â Shangguan Muâer said at this moment. She looked at Ming Dong from afar, and her lips moved gently. A voice that only Ming Dong could hear rang out.
Ming Dongâs body shuddered violently. He could not help but begin trembling. He arrived before Shangguan Muâe in a flash and said emotionally, âR- really? How do you know?â
âI can sense it. Even though itâs only a vague sense, it canât be wrong. Donât forget that he still has that tower on him.â Shangguan Muâer did not speak aloud. Instead, she communicated with Ming Dong secretly, so she did not fear others eavesdropping, âDonât disclose this right now. I heard that thereâs a very important girl by Jian Chenâs side. So many supreme Godkings have gathered here purposefully for that girl. Disclosing this matter sooner than needed will be detrimental to Jian Chen.â
âFantastic. That is fantastic. Hahaha, why didnât I think of that tower? If Iâve guessed correctly, that should be my masterâs supreme treasure.â In the blink of an eye, the gloom that weighed on Ming Dongâs heart completely cleared up. He was jubilant as a great mood overcame him instantly.
There was no longer any surprising resentment around him. At that moment, Ming Dong seemed completely different from before.
âBrother, since youâre still here, Iâll wait for you to come out. Iâll leave the rest of the enemies to you.â Ming Dong sat down and ingested several God Tier pills one after another as he calmed down to meditate. He had paid a great price to use Fatesight earlier, and then he went through several intense battles as well. Not only was he greatly exhausted, but he had even damaged his vitality.
Fortunately, he had large amounts of various God Tier pills on him as the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Making a full recovery was nothing difficult.
To another side, Jia Na, Bai Yi, Gong Zheng, and Cang Ying all sighed in relief when they saw Ming Dong finally stop.
In the surroundings, all the Godkings who had backed off far away returned after seeing Ming Dong finally stop. Very soon, they began to carry out their plans to search for the girl in the lava.
Before long, the eighth floor had recovered its peace. However, everyone knew that this was only on the surface, as the volcanoes on the floor were very unstable. Just the slightest stimulant would be enough to make them erupt. With so many Godkings gathered here, they still managed to affect the floor even when they concealed their presences. The balance there could be broken at any time.
Shangguan Muâer sat in the air by herself. She did not hurry off to the twelfth floor. Instead, she stared at the lava below eagerly, waiting for Jian Chen to come out.
âShangguan Muâer, I never thought you would have broken through to Godking in such a short amount of time. It really has surprised me,â however, a gentle voice rang out from behind Shangguan Muâer at this moment.
An alluring beauty in a green dress stood beside Shangguan Muâer. Currently, she looked at her with a smile.
Shangguan Muâer was alarmed. She had always been on guard, yet she had still failed to sense the woman at all when she approached her.
âYou are?â Shangguan Muâer looked at the unfamiliar woman with surprise and doubt. She had never seen this woman before, but she did feel a familiar presence from her.
