Volume 1, Chapter 59: The Arbiter

"Recognize yourself?"

Feng Tian felt as though his heart was swept by an invisible storm, every single word striking his soul like a heavy hammer.

He clutched his head in agony, his body trembling as if struggling against some nameless, indescribable force.

The arrow of white light pierced straight into the center of the Demon-Revealing Mirror. Immediately, an intensely blinding radiance burst forth, completely swallowing Ling Xuan's figure.

Although Li Longfei was unaware of the aunt-and-nephew relationship between himself and Wang Li, the simple fact that he had been recommended by Wang Li caused Li Longfei's attitude toward him to be even worse than his attitude toward Tang Fei'er at the reception desk, and inferior even to that chubby girl Yang Liuqing, who wandered in and out of the president's assistant office on a whim all the time.

The indigo firmament scattered petals that seemed to carry a faint, delicate fragrance. Snow drifted leisurely, painting the entire world in a vast expanse of white.

Yan Aonan ceased to persist; after all, there was no need to make things difficult for her own body. Peony supported her upstairs, with hesitation lingering in her eyes. The elevator stopped at a high floor, opening into a massive, private duplex penthouse. Long Yihuan scanned her fingerprint to enter the apartment.

Taibai looked at Su Qingyi's excited expression and felt a sense of impending doom. At the mere thought of those legends, cold sweat broke out all over his back.

"I actually thought you and Haotian were going to elope and fly far away together after your wedding!" The rabbit finally cheered up.

The Southern Barbarian Realm was the respectful term used for it by the other nations across the continent. As the name implied, the two words "Southern Barbarian" captured both the geographical direction and the distinctive characteristics of this mystical, untamed land.

"Brother Black and Brother White, we really don't want to go in, we'll go mad!" Big First and Big Second kept begging the Agents of Impermanence for mercy. The netherworld space was truly terrifying; once inside, there was nothing but boundless pitch darkness, without a shred of light or a single sound, for neither light nor sound could propagate within that realm.

"Ziyan, why did you lie to me?" Xiao Han looked in shock at Mi Ziyan, who was held in Ryan's arms, asking in a voice full of pain. He truly had never imagined that Mi Ziyan was actually a shareholder of Mi's International, nor had he anticipated that this shared surname was not a mere coincidence, but rather a predestined certainty.

Yet, after they had left, she glanced inside the room, her gaze abruptly turning somewhat complex, and even tinged with helplessness.

Huo Lingfeng sat in the primary seat, gazing at the fervent gazes below. Beneath his gentle and handsome countenance, a violent rage was already on the verge of erupting. If not for the fact that he was the host and could not leave, he would have already flicked his sleeves and stormed off at this very moment.

At this time, Yi Ling glanced at the corpses beneath his feet. Those bodies could hardly be called corpses anymore; they were basically no different from mummies.

"Well then, Brother, I wonder how I should go about this first trial?" Natie hurriedly asked.

"Act like a person and do what ought to be done," Huo Lingfeng said. With a movement as swift and agile as a leopard, he flipped over and pinned Qing Hong beneath him once more, sealing her lips and thoroughly choking off whatever words Qing Hong had yet to utter.

Bolts of lightning crashed down onto the ocean surface from time to time, blasting out distinct, massive waves. Meanwhile, the tornadoes rampaging across the sea area began to grow larger and larger. After swallowing the final gale, the sole remaining tornado truly formed into a solid black entity.

However, the opponent's formidable strength seemed to stem purely from the physical might of their fleshly body; in other words, the adversary possessed not the slightest bit of internal energy.

Yet Ye Fantian's domain possessed the primordial energies of both water and fire, and was further endowed with the mightiest energy illusions such as the Water and Fire Emperor Phantasms, allowing him to summon them forth recklessly.

Walking in front, Bai Zhuozi still stiffened his body for a moment. With his back turned to everyone present, his expression was hidden from view, yet his silhouette appeared so desolate.
