Bie Yanghong understood these words, but he did not quite understand their meaning.
He did not know what fire stealers were or what god these foreign experts worshiped.
He knew that he was facing the most dangerous situation of his life, even more dangerous than when he faced the Tianhai Divine Empress in the Mausoleum of Books.
That his foe could make the chilly winds of the mountains transform his voice into the language of the continent proved that his conjecture was correct.
These monsters from the Sacred Light Continent truly did have an innate ability to understand and use the laws of the world.
It was even possible that their existence was based on these laws.
But Bie Yanghong was now extremely calm, even his expression indifferent.
As an expert of the continent, when encountering a truly major event, he naturally could not panic, needed to maintain his composure.
After the previous clash, he had a grasp of the way these two Angels fought and the way they used the laws of the world.
In a one-on-one battle, he was confident that he would not lose.
The problem was that his wife had lost an arm and was heavily injured, while Madam Mu and Black Robe, two truly unfathomable experts, were still at the side.
The ruthless Angel suddenly descended, the sword of light in his hand slashing at Bie Yanghong.
Although he had only been awake for a short period of time, his will to fight was still intact. He sensed that this human expert could threaten him.
Thus, he decided to first eliminate this person.
Bie Yanghong swung his sleeve and attacked with extreme elegance, the hand gripping the illusory sword of star radiance noiselessly bursting out of his sleeve!
A fist appeared in the air and smashed the Angel's sword of light into pieces.
At the same time, the rapidly spinning red flower suddenly left Bie Yanghong's side and attacked the face of the other Angel.
The little red flower suddenly shattered into countless extremely sharp petals.
With a dense howl, light exploded.
Then it suddenly faded.
When it once more illuminated the surroundings, it was already ten-some li away in the sky.
Several tiny wounds appeared on the faces of the two Angels, golden blood brimming with divine energy dripping down like dew.
They looked at Bie Yanghong hovering in the air, but their eyes were still devoid of emotion, anger, wariness, only indifference.
The more it was like this, the more terrifying it was.
… …
… …
Countless peals of thunder exploded in the sky, waves of Qi gushing out and cruelly tearing the last white cloud to shreds.
After a while, countless streams of light fell from the sky and finally turned into visible lines of fire. It looked like a meteor shower.
The people of White Emperor City cried out in alarm and chaos ensued. Some of the more cowardly people even thought that it was heavenly punishment and knelt on the ground, kowtowing.
Some of the large tribes and the manors of the wealthy immediately activated their arrays, preparing to withstand the infinitely high temperature of the lava. The Beast Guards of the palace, the army of White Emperor City, and the large number of experts under the control of the Council of Elders were already prepared to quickly extinguish the flames.
But the situation was not as frightening as imagined. Those streams of fire vanished before they could reach the ground, leaving only the remnants of Heavenly Fire that caused the temperature of White Emperor City to soar. It was like a blistering summer day had arrived, and only a few streams of light fell into the Red River.
All of the sky above White Emperor City had been sealed off by restrictive spells, so that no sound or light could escape. The experts of the continent who could understand those streams of light could not see them, and the demi-human populace and ministers who could see those streams of light did not know what they were.
Blood fell from the sky.
Each streak of light was a drop of blood.
This blood came from the experts of the distant continent, and it also came from the experts of this continent.
They were all supreme existences of the Divine Domain, and their blood contained boundless divine energy. It was as pure and holy as gold, and even hotter than magma.
When a few drops of Divine Blood fell into the Red River, those huge monsters silently sank deeper into the water. Many of the less intelligent monsters could not resist their instinctive desires at all. They swam over with all their might, and then fought fiercely over the blood, fighting over it to devour it.
The monsters that devoured the last few drops of divine blood were immediately devoured by even more savage monsters. This process was cruel and boring, repeated many times.
Only late in the night did the ownership of these drops of divine blood finally be determined, seized by a fire flood dragon that had come from the depths of the Celestial Tree.
This fire flood dragon was not one of the lucky ones. With a fighting strength comparable to a Star Condensation expert, it was simply incapable of enduring the divine energy contained in these drops of divine blood.
In the turbulent and treacherous waters, the fire flood dragon struggled for an entire night, ultimately combusting and dying. On that night, the Red River was so bright that it seemed to be burning.
… …
… …
On that night, many demi-human commoners noticed the strangeness of the Red River. They kneeled on the banks and prayed, praying for the White Emperor to come out of seclusion as soon as possible, praying for God to bestow his grace, praying for the nine Celestial Trees hidden in the clouds to block all calamities for the Demi-human race.
Although those streaks of light did not land on the ground and did not bring with them the terrifying Heavenly Fire, White Emperor City was still in chaos. The waves of Qi from the sky had damaged many buildings, and the fences of the beast gardens and pastures near the Celestial Tree had been completely overturned. Countless beasts had taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
In order to maintain order and stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, White Emperor City was officially under martial law. Other than the commoners kneeling on the banks of the river, the majority of the city was quiet and soldiers patrolled the streets. Places near the Imperial Palace and forbidden areas like White Stone Mountain were even personally guarded by the elite Red River Beast Guard.
The outer city along the river was somewhat more relaxed, and it was much more deserted than usual. No one dared to go out, and even if they did, they would kneel to the blazing Red River. No one was in the mood to get drunk. The small tavern's business was extremely poor and it had long since closed.
Xuanyuan Po left the small tavern and went to the shore. As he gazed at the light and flames rising from the depths of the river, he sensed the Divine Qi contained within. He subconsciously glanced up at the sky, thinking, just what happened during the day? Was it a battle between experts of the Divine Domain?
From Star Seizer Academy to the Orthodox Academy, from the capital to White Emperor City, the bear youth had always been extremely diligent in his cultivation. In the eyes of others, his arm had long since been crippled, but he still maintained an extremely strong self-confidence, just like those other fellows in the Orthodox Academy. However, he was keenly aware that with his current cultivation level, he was still extremely far from the Divine Domain. No matter how long he looked, he would not be able to discover anything from those divine flames in the river. As a result, he quickly left the riverbank and walked back to his home.
His home was also in the outer city along the river, in a place called the Pine Paths. Many of the poor people of White Emperor City lived here, and the majority of the buildings were constructed from the most common and cheapest pine wood, barely enough to keep out the cold. However, the flow of water was often not smooth, and as he walked through it, he would occasionally smell a foul stench.
Xuanyuan Po seemed unaware of this as he silently walked along the slope. Whether it was the cursing coming from the houses on the side of the street, the galloping of heavy cavalry in the distance, or those flying carriages flying through the night sky that looked extremely like streaks of fire, none of them caused his expression to change.
