The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

Cranes hovered above Zhuilong Lake, and colorful clouds filled the sky.

The old man of heavenly secrets finally opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Deep as the starry sky, yet empty as an abyss.

It was as if he had seen through everything in the world, yet he also seemed to disdain everything in the world.

Three thousand years of seclusion and solitude had made him forget the ways of the world.

His gaze fell on Luo Tian.

The young man, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, was covered in blood, yet stood ramrod straight.

His body was covered in wounds, blood, and exhaustion, but his eyes were incredibly sharp, showing no fear whatsoever.

"That's interesting."

The old man muttered to himself, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He gently patted the crane's neck, and the crane slowly descended, hovering three zhang above the ground.

"Young friend."

The old man of the heavenly secrets spoke, his voice calm yet clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

"I do not wish to take action."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Xuanyuan Sword in Luo Tian's hand, over Xiao Jin on Luo Tian's shoulder, and over Xiao Niannian and the other two behind Luo Tian.

"Just hand over the secret yourself."

His tone was casual, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"I can leave you with a complete corpse, and I can also release your daughter and disciple."

His gaze fell on Xiao Jin, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"But I must take that golden dragon with me. Do it now!"

He closed his eyes, as if looking at them even once more would be a waste of time.

"I'll give you three breaths. Three!"

"two."

Before he could even finish the word "one," Luo Tian laughed.

He curled his lips into a mocking smile.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear on the quiet shores of Zhuilong Lake.

"Oh?"

Luo Tian looked at the Heavenly Mystery Elder, his tone casual.

"Do you think you have me cornered?"

The old man of the heavens opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

"He's just a Supreme Martial God in the early stages, does he really think he's a god?"

Luo Tian scoffed:

"How shameless!"

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold:

"Before me, you are nothing but a slightly stronger ant!"

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"What did Luo Tian say? Supreme Martial God? The Heavenly Mystery Elder is the Supreme Martial God?!"

"That's not the point! The point is that Luo Tian called them 'stronger ants'!"

"Is he insane? Has Luo Tian gone mad? That's an old monster who's lived for three thousand years!"

"A Supreme Martial God! A legendary being! How dare Luo Tian speak like that?"

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

The barrage of comments was overwhelming, with almost unanimous condemnation of Luo Tian's arrogance.

The scene was in uproar.

Those remnants of the ancient martial arts world knelt on the ground, trembling.

They didn't know if Luo Tian was genuinely confident or just being stubborn on his deathbed.

But they knew that no matter who won or lost, this great battle would be recorded in history.

……

The old man's face darkened.

For three thousand years, no one has ever dared to speak to him like that. This young man deserves to die.

"Since you are unwilling to commit suicide as an atonement..."

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets stood up, pointing his bamboo cane at Luo Tian.

"Then I will do it myself."

His voice was icy cold, filled with murderous intent:

"I will not only kill you, but also wipe you out and everyone connected to you."

He took a step forward as soon as he finished speaking.

The crane took flight and circled in the air.

The Celestial Elder floated in the air and waved his bamboo staff.

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

The sky and earth changed color, the wind and clouds reversed, and the entire Zhuilong Lake trembled.

The lake water was compressed by the air, causing it to sag into a huge arc, and the silt at the bottom of the lake was churned up.

The crowd on the shore retreated hastily, their expressions changing drastically.

Those martial arts masters were so overwhelmed by this aura that they could hardly breathe, their legs went weak, and they could barely stand.

"The power of the supreme being... this is the power of the supreme being..."

"That's terrifying! A hundred times stronger than a terrestrial deity!"

"Luo Tian is finished! Utterly finished!"

……

Luo Tian looked up at the Heavenly Mystery Elder without the slightest panic.

A faint smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.

"Supreme Martial God? Let me see just how strong you really are."

He took a step forward and soared into the sky.

A huge crater, several meters in diameter, was blasted open beneath their feet, sending debris flying everywhere.

The Xuanyuan Sword was drawn from its sheath, radiating golden light. The sun, moon, and stars on the sword seemed to come alive, rotating around the blade.

The two stood facing each other in the air, a hundred feet apart.
