As Xu Zimei’s voice fell, an extremely strong presence surged out from around him.
It was the presence of a Divine King.
The pinnacle that mortals could reach, the so-called supreme existence of the Eternal Ancient Continent.
Spiritual Energy roared along Changhe, and Blade Intent spanned thirty thousand li.
Step by step, Xu Zimei rose into the air, his Divine Might vast, silencing the entire firmament.
The pale purple robe fluttered in the wind as he stood with his hands behind his back, his long hair bound up in a hair clasp, some strands scattered behind him in disarray.
In this moment, the Holy Power brought by the four lizard Sages was nowhere to be found, as if the entire world had only Xu Zimei left.
The eyes of the crowd were involuntarily drawn to him.
Between heaven and earth, the winds swirled and clouds gathered, and Divine Might pressed down overwhelmingly.
The long sword hummed lightly as if expressing the joy within.
"Beneath the Divine King are all but ants," Xu Zimei gazed deeply.
As if piercing through the Wugeng Void and the cycle of decay and prosperity, his crushing momentum fell upon the people present.
"This, this is," the Blue Lizard’s complexion changed drastically, trembling as it watched Xu Zimei.
"How is this possible, a Divine King, which Divine King from the human race is this? How come I’ve never heard of him?"
The Red Lizard struggled to stand up, resisting the Divine King’s presence, and said, "Isn’t there only one Eternal Ancient Divine King in our Southern Domain?"
"What do we do now?" The four Sages exchanged looks, all feeling troubled.
"Let’s try it out, maybe this kid is just bluffing," the Blue Lizard said with a heavy voice.
"A Divine King isn’t a cabbage, how could we just happen to meet one so easily."
"Come then, let’s see what skills you ants truly possess," Xu Zimei said indifferently, standing above the firmament.
The four lizards all roared angrily towards the sky as circles of light surged out from them.
Four differently colored circles of light swirled around them, and behind each of them emerged a colossal phantom.
These were four lizards of varying forms.
The four lizards roared to the heavens, standing on the earth with an aura of ancient times.
"Merge," the Blue Lizard commanded with a soft shout.
The four lizard phantoms turned into streaks of light, beginning to fuse together.
Harsh shrieking sounds echoed one after another as the Spiritual Energy of the snow mountain converged towards this place.
Snow and ice melted, all things revived; the snowflakes in the sky completely disappeared, and a gentle breeze blew past.
As the orb of four streaks of light flickered, the four individuals brought their palms together and shouted, "Ancient Lizard Elder, come forth."
Then an ear-shattering roar resounded.
The orb dissipated, and an enormous creature appeared atop the mountain.
It was a lizard, magnified a hundredfold.
Unlike a typical lizard, apart from more mottled colors on its body, its mouth had two gigantic fangs, and its teeth had turned into three rows of serrated teeth.
More importantly, the Ancient Lizard Elder possessed three eyes.
Though the third eye on its forehead remained closed, its power was nonetheless palpable.
"Please enlighten me," the Blue Robed Lizard said solemnly to Xu Zimei.
Ever since learning that Xu Zimei was a Divine King, they had abandoned all their previous contempt and arrogance.
After all, the stature of a Divine King was well understood by all.
The Eternal Ancient Divine King had changed the entire Eternal Ancient Continent back in the day. With a mere flick of his hand, he could turn seas into mulberry fields, rotate the sun and moon, and alter the course of destiny.
Looking at the Ancient Lizard Elder, Xu Zimei shook his head slightly and said, "Too weak."
The Ancient Lizard Elder let out a furious roar, opened its serrated fangs, and a light wave formed of four colors sprayed towards Xu Zimei.
This light wave broke through layers of space, collapsing half of the firmament.
Rising to the Nine Skies, it seemed it would strike Xu Zimei any moment.
Xu Zimei slowly raised his right hand and caught the energy strike with one hand.
The explosions of "boom boom boom" spread through the void, and as Xu Zimei casually blocked the attack, the Ancient Lizard Elder’s face showed a moment of shock.
Its massive body towered on the mountain peak, its right foot stepping back slightly, its tail sweeping across fiercely, and split half of the mountain peak directly.
With a "boom," the Ancient Lizard Elder leaped a hundred meters high, like a cannonball, killing its way towards Xu Zimei.
Mid-air, the Ancient Lizard Elder flipped, its claws several meters long, directly piercing through space and killing towards Xu Zimei.
"Meaningless," Xu Zimei shook his head.
He waved his hand and slapped out with the palm of his hand.
"Awooo," accompanied by the mournful cry of the Ancient Lizard Elder, it was slapped out of the sky by a palm.
The massive body was directly embedded in the mountain’s base, blood flowing into a river for a moment.
The whole snowy mountain shook continuously, and many Yellow Lizards were shaken and rolled off the mountain base.
The Ancient Lizard Elder struggled to crawl out, its body drenched in blood, scales and flesh burst open, looking gravely wounded.
"Open the Heavenly Gate," the Blue Lizard Elder roared loudly.
Accompanied by a roar from the Ancient Lizard Elder, it raised its head high, and the eye on its forehead flashed open in an instant.
In that moment, an aura from the ancient wilderness emanated from the eyes.
That eye in the forehead was incredibly brilliant, an almost immeasurable amount of energy exploded from within.
The space around was completely twisted, the force resembling a thunderstorm.
Too swift for the flesh eye to capture, it blasted down towards Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei stood still as if stunned, with no movement, nor any attempt to dodge.
The thunderstorm crackled and thundered, twisting with a force that could uproot everything.
It bombarded heavily on Xu Zimei’s body.
"He’s hit," the Red Lizard Sage said with joy, quickly speaking up.
"No," the Yellow Lizard Sage shook his head slightly.
When everyone looked up again, they saw the thunderstorm tearing through the firmament, rendering the entire sky in a prism of colors.
The thunderstorm pierced Xu Zimei’s body directly, but the anticipated scene of blood and flesh did not occur.
Xu Zimei still stood calmly in place, as if watching a clown, mockingly looking at the others.
"Is this fun?" he asked.
"Is this the might of the Divine King?" murmured the Red Lizard Sage to himself.
"How could he be so strong, not even on the same level," sighed the Green Lizard Sage.
He understood the power of the Ancient Lizard Elder more than anyone else; it was their strongest card, the legacy left by their lizard race.
Unfortunately, the opponent was far too strong; the Divine King indeed seemed unattainable.
Xu Zimei seemed to grow weary too, directly bringing down his huge hand with a might that seemed to shatter heaven and earth, suppressing it downwards.
Seeing this, the Ancient Lizard Elder roared in terror, unable to even resist, and was immediately slapped down.
As the giant palm continued downward, the Four Great Lizard Sages quickly knelt on the ground, holding their heads and screaming, "Divine King, please spare our lives."
