Chapter 659: Heavenly Emperor vs Ancestor Huo Ling


    No matter what, Huo Mo was still the young master of a main branch and one of the most talented individuals in the Fire Spirit n, representing the face of the n. Ancestor Huo Ling certainly couldn''t just abandon him.


    In the sky, Ancestor Huo Ling shot a fierce nce at Huo Mo, ignoring his current state. He then turned his head and stared at Xiao Ming with a grave expression, forcing a gentle smile.


    "This matter is indeed our n''s fault. However, the Heavenly Emperor has already punished these juniors. How about giving our Fire Spirit n some face and letting this matter rest?"


    Ancestor Huo Ling spoke with great confidence. Even though the Fire Spirit n had seen better days, it still held significant prestige from its long-standing heritage.


    Compared to other superpowers such as the Northern Profound Pce and the Zi Qi Spiritual Cave, which were somewhat secluded, the reputation of the Fire Spirit n resonated throughout the Great Thousand World.


    In addition to his formidable strength, Ancestor Huo Ling was also known for his extensivework of friends. Hence, most people would give him some face when they saw him.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t know that Xiao Ming had only recently arrived in the Great Thousand World and had little concept of the Fire Spirit n''s influence. Xiao Ming was even nning to make a move against Skw Continent, which boasted more than ten Heavenly Sovereigns.


    If Xiao Ming wasn''t afraid of offending so many Heavenly Sovereigns, why would he care about giving face to a mere Ancestor Huo Ling?


    "What if this Emperor decides...not to give you this face?"It was evident that Xiao Ming had no intention of giving any face now. His calm words sent a jolt through the hearts of countless strong individuals in the area.


    Xiao Ming''s voice echoed through the air, drenching the backs of countless experts with cold sweat and instilling in them an overwhelming urge to flee the scene.


    Ancestor Huo Ling had been a Heavenly Sovereign for ten thousand years, and the imposing aura of the Heavenly Emperor was no less formidable. A sh between them would undoubtedly result in a cataclysmic battle, and everyone nearby would be caught in the crossfire.


    shes at such a level inherently carried the potential for devastation.


    Unfortunately, the oppressive aura of the Heavenly Sovereigns was so overwhelming that these people could not even straighten their backs. The idea of escaping was nothing more than a fantasy.


    Ancestor Huo Ling''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Xiao Ming''s reply. He had not expected the young man to be so unwilling to give face, and he suddenly found himself in a difficult position.


    "What do you intend to do?"


    "This Emperor has encountered no less than thirty waves of robbers since ascending from the lower nes to the Great Thousand World. Every single one of these evildoers, along with their backing forces, has been annihted by this Emperor."


    Xiao Ming said this with a smile, but the underlying message and the exceptionally strong scent of blood made Ancestor Huo Ling''s frown deepen.


    He hadn''t expected Xiao Ming to be someone from the lower nes.


    If another Heavenly Sovereign had appeared today, perhaps they might have given some face. However, since it was someone from the lower realms, it was unlikely that he would back down easily.


    Those who ascended from the lower realms were always the strongest in their own ne, and as long as they were there, others would give them face rather than them giving it.


    Moreover, as neers to the Great Thousand World, they oftencked knowledge of its power structures. It was likely that this Heavenly Emperor had never even heard of his name.


    If the other party didn''t know his name, his earlier mention of giving a face was as good as saying nothing.


    Of course, by now Ancestor Huo Ling''s patience had worn thin due to Xiao Ming''s words. His eyes sharpened like an eagle''s as he fixed his gaze on Xiao Ming.


    "Are you implying you want to annihte my Fire Spirit n?"


    "Not to that extent. The Fire Spirit n is not an evil force, and it''s normal to have a few bad apples among tens of thousands. As long as you cripple the cultivation of Huo Mo and his protector andpensate this Emperor with twenty billion Sovereign Spirit Liquids and five Divine mes ranked in the Divine me Ranking, this Emperor can let bygones be bygones."


    Ancestor Huo Ling almostughed in anger. Twenty billion Sovereign Spirit Liquid was nothing to him, but ranked Divine mes were incredibly hard to find. Even within the Fire Spirit n, their number was limited.


    Many of these Divine mes had apanied the predecessors of the Fire Spirit n in countless battles over the years. Their spiritual essence had long been intermingled with the n, making them akin to the Avatars of those ancient powerhouses. They were the true foundation of the Fire Spirit n.


    Even the n''s most outstanding disciples couldn''t easily gain recognition to wield them. Yet, Xiao Ming casually demanded five of them as if they were cabbages?


    Ancestor Huo Ling decisively refused, "Impossible! There is no way I can ept such conditions!"


    "I have long heard that the supreme experts who ascend from the lower nes are all exceptionally gifted and talented. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to cross paths with one. Today, however, it seems that we are destined for a rare encounter, and I would like to see your skills for myself."


    As he spoke, a flurry of multicolored mes suddenly rose from his body and converged in the palm of his hand.


    <em>Crap, they''re really going to fight!</em>


    Countless experts stared in horror at the multicolored mes. They could sense that once the mes were unleashed, everything within hundreds of thousands of miles would be instantly engulfed in a sea of fire, sparing no living creature.


    "Oh? You should have said so earlier."


    Xiao Ming rose to the sky and looked at the multicolored mes with great interest. He could sense that these mes were of a higher quality than the Greenstone Azure me he had obtained earlier.


    "I have long heard that the Fire Spirit n excels in the way of fire. Today, I shall experience it firsthand."


    "As you wish."


    Ancestor Huo Ling muttered to himself, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. His hands swiftly formed seals, and the multicolored mes in front of him surged with immense firelight, rising like zing suns, each one radiating waves of pure destruction.


    <em>Buzz!</em>


    The zing suns trembled as a vast Spiritual Energy rippled out, shaking thend.


    Sage Zi Yun and the others stared intently at the zing suns, their faces contorted in shock. Even a single wave of that red Spiritual Energy could easily annihte them.


    This Ancestor Huo Ling was worthy of a powerhouse who had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign ten thousand years ago. Even a mere Avatar of his was this powerful.


    While Sage Zi Yun and the others were in shock, the zing suns coalesced into a massive fiery red bronze bell, its surface engraved with countless strange runes.


    "Fire Spirit Bell!"


    With a low cry from Ancestor Huo Ling, the bronze bell rapidly descended and swallowed Xiao Ming in one swift motion.


    The giant bell then floated motionlessly in the sky, with faint sounds of burning mes emanating from within.


    "This Fire Spirit Bell is formed from my life essence me, further catalyzed by the essence of countless mes from my n. It gathers the power of ten thousand fires. Even a Heavenly Sovereign would be refined if caught inside." Ancestor Huo Ling''s deep, slightly proud voice resounded inside the bell.


    "Extraordinary indeed."


    Xiao Ming agreed, nodding as if he were not the one being roasted by the mes.


    "However, this Emperor also has a me for you to witness!"


    As soon as Xiao Ming''s words fell, countless fire runes on the surface of the bell began to crack at a visible speed.


    Strands of delicate and brilliant mes began to climb out, and wherever these mes spread, the zing red light melted away like snow in the sun.


    Ancestor Huo Ling''s pupils contracted slightly at the sight.


    <em>Crackle!</em>


    The brilliant mes continued to surge out and engulfed the entire red bell in a matter of moments.


    As the mes rose, the bell that was originally made of fire began to melt into a liquid state and flowed away.


    <em>mor!</em>


    A wave of astonished murmurs erupted throughout the area. Countless experts were secretly terrified. No one had expected the sh between these two Heavenly Sovereigns to reveal a clear winner so quickly.


    Even they could tell that the Heavenly Emperor''s me was far more domineering.


    Ancestor Huo Ling, an expert in fire maniption, had been defeated by a younger generation in his own domain.


    Even though this wasn''t Ancestor Huo Ling''s true form, it was still a loss!


    Ancestor Huo Ling stared dazedly at the scene for a moment. Then he looked at the unharmed Xiao Ming with aplex expression and said in a low voice, "What is the name of that me of yours?"


    "Emperor me."
