Chapter 64

“Wang Guang, get out of my way! Does the Wanbao Merchant Association want to be enemies with my Su family?”

At the entrance of the Wanbao Merchant Association, an old man leaned on a cane, standing at the entrance. A golden badge hung on his chest, featuring four golden stars that shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Beside the old man stood three figures, each radiating a powerful aura. Any one of them was no less formidable than the Spirit Serpent Elder who Lin Xuan had killed in Tai’an City.

This was the foundation of a family known for its alchemy!

Blocking the old man’s way was a middle-aged man holding a spear. Though his face appeared somewhat gaunt and his clothes were thin, his demeanor was quite extraordinary. Facing the pressure from the Alchemy King family, his expression remained unchanged as he calmly spoke, “President Su, this is the Wanbao Merchant Association, not your Su family.”

“Rules must be followed in the Wanbao Merchant Association!”

“Rules?” The old man’s sunken eyes darkened as he slammed his cane down onto the ground. The hard surface immediately cracked, with fissures spreading outwards. “My grandson was beaten to this state at your Wanbao Merchant Association’s doorstep. His meridians are severed. Even if he survives, he will be completely useless in the future. Why did your Wanbao Merchant Association do nothing to help?”

“Matters outside the Wanbao Merchant Association do not concern us,” Wang Guang replied, his expression calm as he held his silver spear, refusing to give an inch. He extended a hand, “Please leave, sir.”

“Good, good, good! Since you’re stopping me, I want to see how you, Wang Guang, plan to stop me!” The old man’s expression darkened, and the three mysterious figures beside him shot out like lightning, their vast true energy swirling into terrifying martial arts techniques as the violent airflow gathered frantically.

Boom!

With the emergence of three mysterious palm prints, they converged in the void to form a massive axe several tens of feet long, cleaving down towards the Wanbao Auction House. If the giant axe were to land, it would likely kill more than half of those inside the auction house, including many dignitaries.

This was the foundation of the Alchemy King family; even if the Great Flame Dynasty fell, they would endure. With three generations of Alchemy Kings over a millennium, the connections they had amassed allowed them to act without restraint!

“It’s the Busan Three Brothers, ranked seventh on the Slaughter List! I can’t believe they’re actually working for the Su family. It’s said that their combined strength once destroyed a major sect. Though they haven’t reached the Divine Transformation stage, the fusion martial arts they use together can even slay those at the Divine Transformation level!”

“What a terrifying aura! The Busan Three Brothers truly live up to their reputation. Can Wang Guang block this attack?”

“It’s difficult, very difficult! Although Wang Guang is the captain of the Wanbao Auction House’s guards and strong, he hasn’t yet stepped into the Divine Transformation stage!”

“Is the Su family really going to start a war with the Wanbao Merchant Association? They’re making such a big deal out of it!”

“Of course! The heir of the Su family was crippled right at the doorstep of the Wanbao Auction House. How could they not go mad?”

Facing the combined strike of the Busan Three Brothers, Wang Guang’s thin clothes flapped in the wind as a voice like thunder echoed.

“Divine Transformation: Break the Heavens!”

A silver spear appeared behind Wang Guang, breaking through the clouds and radiating a brilliant divine light. No one could see what had happened; a faint sound of something tearing through the air was heard, and blood holes appeared on the bodies of the Busan Three Brothers as they collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely. The giant shadow of the axe that had loomed above also dissipated.

“Your innate divine power, you’ve actually broken into the Divine Transformation stage and comprehended an innate divine power!”

The Su family elder’s face changed dramatically. There were indeed many Divine Transformation experts in the Great Flame Dynasty, but why were only ten of them known as the Ten Kings?

It was because only these ten had comprehended their own innate divine powers!

The gap between those who have comprehended innate divine powers and those who haven’t is vast!

After today, the Ten Kings might just become the Eleven Kings!

“President Su, please leave,” Wang Guang extended a hand in an inviting gesture and spoke.

“Wang Guang, do you think that just because you’ve stepped into the Divine Transformation stage you can scare me away?” The elder said maliciously. “If you don’t hand over the little bastard who hurt my grandson today, this matter won’t be over!”

“Lord Bai Yan, I’d trouble you to intervene. My Su family will pay whatever compensation you find satisfactory!”

At this moment, the arrogance emanating from the elder diminished somewhat as he spoke respectfully towards a certain direction.

“Hehe, Su Dingzhen, your spirit is quite perceptive. It seems you’re not far from that realm,” a light chuckle echoed from above. The voice was soft, yet it felt as if five thunderbolts had struck everyone’s heads, and they gazed at the elder leisurely walking in the void with respect.

Unlike the gloominess of the Su family elder, King Bai Yan was dressed in a bright red robe, with hair as red as flames. His aura was vibrant, and even without releasing any energy, he weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

All of this was because he was one of the Ten Kings of the Great Flame Dynasty—King Bai Yan!

“Kid, you’ve comprehended the Divine Transformation. Not bad. Step aside.”

“The little bastard who offended the Su family must die today!”

King Bai Yan spoke casually; although Wang Guang was good, he was merely a recent entrant to the Divine Transformation stage.

“Forgive me, but I cannot comply,” Wang Guang clasped his hands.

“Stubborn!”

King Bai Yan sighed and then vanished from his spot.

“Divine Transformation: Break the Heavens!”

Wang Guang intended to employ the same technique again, but King Bai Yan somehow appeared behind him. With a mere flick of his hand, Wang Guang was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground and creating a massive crater.

However, this slap only knocked him unconscious; it did not take his life. This scene made the Su family elder furrow his brow, but he said nothing.

…….

“Brother Lin… how about we lay low for a bit?”

Li Qiudao felt the terrifying aura emanating from outside and couldn’t help but speak up.

“Brother Lin, your ability to stir trouble rivals mine. This is an expert who has comprehended innate divine powers, unlike the Divine Transformation experts who previously tried to kill us.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan furrowed his brow, realizing he was still quite unfamiliar with the specifics of the levels above the Divine Transformation stage.

“…….”

To be fair, Li Qiudao genuinely didn’t understand how the young man in front of him had cultivated to this level, but he still kindly explained.

“Once you step into the Divine Transformation stage, your body will give rise to an innate divine power based on your divine roots. However, not every Divine Transformation expert will possess an innate divine power. For example, the three Divine Transformation warriors from the Blood Slaughter Mansion who pursued me previously did not have innate divine powers.”
