In a courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

Gazing at the young blood-colored figure in the night sky, Chuan Mu of the City Lord Mansion suddenly realized that perhaps the one who annihilated the Gue Mountain Saintess and crushed Han Wei's hand in the Ice Snow Wilderness is indeed the same person as the young warrior now standing proudly in the night sky above his City Lord Mansion.

He had always been cautious in his actions, but this time, Chuan Mu realized he might have hit an iron wall, meddling with an entity he absolutely couldn't afford to provoke.

At this moment, a profound unease filled Chuan Mu's heart.

"Was that force just now really unleashed by him?"

On top of the City Lord Mansion's great hall stood a lone blue figure, with blue robes and long hair gently fluttering with the night breeze—it was Jiangg Ning, the beautiful Divine Refiner from the Jiangg Family.

In a side chamber, Jiangg Ning suddenly sensed a strong energy ripple from outside with her keen Soul Power, a ripple so startling that she had to come out and see for herself.

Unexpectedly, the energy ripple in the night sky was emanating from that blood-armored youth standing proudly.

"His Soul Power has already stepped into the Demigod Realm! In just one day... his talent..." While shocked by the terrifying aura from the youth, Jiangg Ning also discovered that his Soul Power had just broken through successfully!

Once again, a look of amazement briefly appeared on the usually expressionless face of Jiangg Ning. This was the third time she had shown an expression in recent days.

"Who is this youth, exactly?" Jiangg Ning mused to herself, curious about the boy's identity, as she had never heard of such a genius before.

"Dog thief Chuan Mu!" At that moment, the young Shi Feng in the night sky coldly uttered these words toward the ground below.

Immediately after, a figure below flickered violently.

Realizing the situation had taken an ill turn, Chuan Mu started dodging and escaping in fright.

"Running?" Seeing Chuan Mu flee, Shi Feng coldly yelled, rapidly swooping downward: "Dog thief Chuan Mu, where are you running to! Come meet your fate!"

Following that, Shi Feng transformed into a beam of golden light, rapidly descending toward the City Lord Mansion below.

"Good!" As he rapidly fell, Shi Feng exclaimed "good" in his heart, initially thinking that despite Chuan Mu's escape, his speed should still outpace him.

After all, Chuan Mu was a Six-star Demigod Realm expert, three realms superior to himself.

However, at that moment, the "Old Master" Source of All Things released a Mysterious Force, instantly accelerating Shi Feng's downward speed by countless times, even faster than Chuan Mu's full-speed escape.

"No! Not good!" Feeling the force above in the night sky, Chuan Mu, while dodging drastically, was shocked once again.

Suddenly, Chuan Mu formed a Profound Hand Seal with both hands, muttering a complex, arcane Spell, making a prismatic Dark Mysterious Crystal the size of an infant reappear in front of him.

"Go! You must stop him!" Chuan Mu bellowed lowly, simultaneously striking fiercely on the Dark Mysterious Crystal in front of him with a palm.

The next moment, under Chuan Mu's strength, the Dark Crystal slanted upwards, flying toward the sky, charging at the rapidly descending golden ray.

"What is this thing?" Shi Feng, transforming into a golden stream, silently wondered upon seeing the prismatic black crystal charging upward.

Feeling a Mysterious aura from this Dark Crystal but unable to discern its grade of the Mysterious Artifact, he remained wary.

At this very moment, a Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword had already reappeared in Shi Feng's right hand. Unlike before, the sword was now shrouded not in white Thunder Light, but in black Demon Thunder!

Shi Feng had already gathered the full Nine Thunders Destroying World power unto the Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword. Initially planning to hack Chuan Mu upon landing, instead, he first faced the prismatic Dark Crystal.

"Slash!" As Shi Feng was about to collide with the Mysterious Dark Crystal, he coldly shouted, fiercely swinging down the Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword in his hand.

"Boom!" Another world-shattering, earth-shaking cataclysmic roar resounded in the City Lord Mansion.

The Bloodthirsty Thunder Sword clashed violently with the Dark Crystal.

But at this moment, a look of astonishment abruptly appeared on Shi Feng's face as the full Striking Power he wielded at the Mysterious Dark Crystal disappeared without a trace.

As if all the power was absorbed by this bizarre Dark Crystal.

What on earth is this thing?

At that moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from Shi Feng's body, a light naturally belonging to the Source of All Things, emitting an overwhelmingly strong aura.

Under the impact of the golden light, the obstructive prismatic Dark Crystal was immediately sent hurtling away, flying into the night sky then vanishing instantly.

However, after being blocked by that Dark Crystal, Shi Feng already saw the contemptible City Lord Chuan Mu escape from the City Lord Mansion, darting into the night sky, swiftly dashing out of Wuchuan Wasteland City.

At that moment, a mighty voice resounded throughout Wuchuan Wasteland City, like a clap of thunder: "All inhabitants heed the City Lord's order, this person dares to break the skies in my Wuchuan Wasteland City, defying our city regulations, shall be executed!

Whosoever slays this person shall become Deputy City Lord of my Wuchuan Wasteland City, regardless of who they are!"

"Become Deputy City Lord of Wuchuan Wasteland City?"

"No way, just killing him can make you Wuchuan Wasteland City's Deputy City Lord?"

"That voice just now, it was unmistakable! The resounding voice just now truly belongs to our City Lord!"

"No way? Could someone be imitating the City Lord's voice to prank us?"

"Prank? Who dares to pull such a prank, who dares to joke about the City Lord! That's a death penalty!"

"So it's true? Truly the City Lord's order? Maybe, because Wuchuan Wasteland City hasn't had a Deputy City Lord for years, the City Lord seeks to test and promote one from this ordeal!"

"Regardless, the Deputy City Lord's throne shall be mine!"

As Chuan Mu's voice echoed throughout Wuchuan Wasteland City, the whole city erupted, eyes collectively turning to the night sky, focusing on the golden radiant figure.

At this moment, the night sky featured only this striking golden radiance breaking across space.

City Lord Chuan Mu had already escaped from Wuchuan Wasteland City without anyone noticing.

The Flame Saint Son Huo Yu originally hovered in the night sky but had just descended onto a tall building.
