His statement instantly caused a wave of turmoil.


    The Martial Emperor was too dominant, blatantly taking the World Fruit for himself, causing unease in many people’s hearts. After all, who wouldn’t want it?


    However, standing here, Chu Yuan possessed an awe-inspiring authority that people dared not casually oppose. His murderous intent was palpable, so intense that it seemed as if anyone who dared oppose him would be killed.


    "Humph! You wish to take the World Fruit? What a foolish and delusional idea. You’re not capable enough. Don’t assume that just because you killed the Evergreen Arch-God, no one can control you anymore. The more arrogant and domineering you are, the faster you’ll die.


    You are not far from your death!"


    Suddenly, a man bellowed out.


    He wasn’t an Arch-God, but a Major God of one of the five Great Empires, haughty and extremely young. He stood behind the Arch-God, shouting loudly at Chu Yuan.


    Chu Yuan’s gaze fell on him, as if incensed by a fierce flame!


    In one moment, this man was yelling, but in the next, he was instantly vaporized, completely gone without so much as a scream!


    Indeed, he was vaporized!


    He simply cast a look and a Major God was vaporized.


    "He? What kind of Divine Abilities does he possess, to kill with just a look? He killed a Major God with a glance!"


    There was immediate panic among the crowd.


    "The Martial Emperor’s strength is terrifying and formidable. Nobody knows how strong he truly is at this moment. He is here to seize the World Fruit with an absolute determination to win. We shouldn’t oppose him. Let’s see how the Ancient Five Emperors respond!"


    "Right! If the Ancient Five Empires don’t show any concern for him, then there’s no need for us to stop it!"


    "If there could be a leader who could stand up and oppose the Ancient Five Emperors, that would be a favorable situation!"


    The alliance forces all retreated a few steps. The Martial Emperor’s reputation was too grand, and no one wanted to oppose him.


    "Do they really think we don’t exist?"


    The Major God slain by Chu Yuan belonged to the Fen Tian Empire.


    Instantly, a middle-aged man, clad in fiery red robes with a body radiating bright red light, appeared on the scene. His face was overcome with a great fury. He roared angrily, "Martial Emperor, I heard that you can command the powerful flame forces. I want to see if your flames are as remarkable as the whispers suggest!"

    "The Red Flame Arch-God, one of the brave soldiers of the Fen Tian Empire, brutal, ruthless, and powerful!"


    "In a recent major battle, the Red Flame Arch-God personally took down an Arch-God!"


    "This Arch-God was much more terrifying than the Evergreen Arch-God. His attacks were incredibly violent. When several other Arch-Gods surrounded him, not only did they not kill him, he killed one of them and severely injured several others!"


    "I wonder how the Martial Emperor will deal with the Red Flame Arch-God!"


    There were murmurs of discussion all around.


    "Such arrogance!"


    The Red Flame Arch-God was enraged by Chu Yuan’s dismissive attitude. Chu Yuan had killed Arch-Gods, but so had he. And yet, Chu Yuan ignored his attack completely.


    Was this a sign of contempt?


    "You will pay for this!"


    The Red Flame Arch-God growled.


    But then, the unexpected happened.


    When the flames reached Chu Yuan, they seemed to encounter their nemesis, collapsed before they could burn him. They were dissipated by a force and vanished completely; not a trace was left.


    "The Great Fire Technique!"


    The Red Flame Arch-God’s pupils constricted sharply.


    He attacked again, sending waves of his fiery power washing over Chu Yuan.


    But Chu Yuan simply stood there, the onslaught of flames never coming close to him, collapsing and disappearing instead.


    "What’s happening?"


    "The Red Flame Arch-God’s power can’t even get close to him!"


    "What divine power has this Martial Emperor acquired? Why did he become so strong, so quickly? It’s unbelievable and unfathomable."


    The Arch-Gods all sounded astonished.


    No one doubted the might of the Martial Emperor, but to reach this level, it was beyond comprehension. After all, the Red Flame Arch-God was not a weakling. Among the Arch-Gods, he was considered quite formidable and was known to have killed other Arch-Gods.


    But his power, before the Martial Emperor, was utterly non-existent.


    Reviewing the history of Dawu’s development, it appeared as if they had somehow cheated the laws of the heavens.


    "Red Flame Holy Fist!"


    Despite the grim expression on his face, the Red Flame Arch-God was infuriated. The more nonchalant the Martial Emperor was, the more incensed he became. His fire powers grew increasingly violent, aimed to take down the man before him.


    Intense Fire!


    Fen Tian!


    He punched out twice, each punch signifying the power of the Fen Tian (Burn Heaven).


    "Boom!"


    The aura of Chu Yuan shocked the heavens and the eight wastelands.


    With a wave of his hand, all the flames were dispersed by a violent wind. His opponent’s fire could not burn fiercely, nor could it scorch the heavens.


    Chu Yuan coldly looked at him and said, "Enough fighting. It’s time for you to die."
