Chapter 522: Excitement

The Black Sub-Emperor’s eyes were grim. He knew all too well how terrifying the Thunder Star Beast race’s Thunderous Punishment Talent was!

If one completely mastered it, they could potentially become a Dominator!

What did it mean to be a Dominator? Their entire race had only a few Dominators in total.

The Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race was immensely proud.

In terms of their life-form level, while they weren’t naturally born Deities, a normal member could master three profundities of the Space Law just by growing up, far surpassing other races!

While they couldn’t compare to the races of naturally born Deities, those races—such as the Fire Nether Divine Beasts and the Time Divine Trees—were weak overall. They had very few Emperors and were subject to immense restrictions by the rules of the Cosmos!

Yet their life-form level was incredibly high, second only to the races of naturally born Deities.

However, the rules of the Cosmos placed few restrictions on them. In terms of power, they completely crushed the races of naturally born Deities!

So, to sum it up, the races of naturally born Deities couldn’t compare to them in power, and other races couldn’t compare to them in life-form level!

One could say the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race was the most favored race in the Cosmos; not even the Thunder Star Beast race could compare.

With such a status... it was easy to imagine just how proud the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race was.

But now, powerful geniuses were constantly emerging throughout the Cosmos—from the Human Race, the Time Divine Tree race, the Fire Nether Divine Beast race... Even the Thunder Star Beasts had produced an unbelievable monstrous genius who, after cultivating for a mere eighty years, had broken through to the World Realm in four different laws!

As two races at the World Realm tier, there was naturally a rivalry between the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragons and the Thunder Star Beasts—a comparison of power, of geniuses, and so on.

Their overall strength was roughly equal, but now the Thunder Star Beasts had a monstrous genius, while they had none.

Although no one would dare laugh at the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race, they still felt incredibly frustrated.

This era was practically an explosion of monstrous geniuses across the Cosmos, with news of another one emerging from time to time.

The human Li Yang, the human Mixed Void, the Time Divine Tree genius, the Fire Nether Divine Beast genius, and the Thunder Star Beast Mu Xuan...

A total of five geniuses, all appearing within a few short decades!

And for the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race, which considered itself the most favored in the Cosmos, not a single one of these many geniuses belonged to them. One could only imagine how they felt.

Beside the Black Sub-Emperor, two Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Deities stood silently. In truth, they also desperately longed for a peerless genius to appear within their own race.

"Hm?"

Just then, a crystal-like Token on the body of the Deity Xuan Mo lit up. Xuan Mo glanced at it and froze, a look of utter disbelief in his eyes.

"What is it?"

The Black Sub-Emperor asked, seeing the look of disbelief on the Deity’s face.

From Xuan Mo’s expression, it seemed something major had occurred.

"Elder."

The Deity Xuan Mo snapped to his senses and said hurriedly, "A moment ago, Han Yun sent a message. He said he found one of our clansmen, except this one was born in the outside world. According to Han Yun’s message, this new clansman has only cultivated for a little over seventy years but has already broken through to the World Realm."

BOOM!

As his words landed, a sliver of the Black Sub-Emperor’s aura couldn’t help but flare out. He stared at the Deity Xuan Mo and demanded in a heavy voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

His eyes held a look of unconcealable, joyous surprise.

’Cultivated for just over seventy years? World Realm? Could this be our Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race’s peerless genius?’

"Elder Heiya, I can’t be certain if it’s true, but Han Yun is simple and honest by nature. He would absolutely never lie, and he wouldn’t dare lie to us."

The Deity Xuan Mo added hurriedly, "Right now, Han Yun is with the genius, who is named Kong Yu. They are only a short distance away and are currently heading toward us. They should be here in about twenty minutes."

"Excellent!!!"

Hearing what the Deity said, an incredibly excited look immediately appeared in Elder Heiya’s eyes.

"Contact Han Yun and tell them not to come here. Have them take Kong Yu and find a good hiding spot. We’re going to them immediately!"

The Black Sub-Emperor was actually preparing to go and meet a junior in person.

The Black Sub-Emperor didn’t think anything of it, however. He felt only immense excitement. Their Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race had finally produced a genius!

His excitement was tinged with a sense of unreality. He was also worried that Kong Yu might suddenly run into danger, which was why he told Han Yun to have him hide temporarily.

"Yes, Elder!" the Deity Xuan Mo nodded quickly.

"Let’s go!"

With a wave of his right hand, Elder Heiya flew swiftly into the distance.

He was an Emperor, and his speed was countless times faster than that of Han Yun, who was just an ordinary Deity. He arrived at a location in less than a minute.

...

Meanwhile, Han Yun was speaking with the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, Li Yang.

"Kong Yu, the Elder thinks very highly of you. He should be arriving soon," Han Yun said with a smile.

His face was also full of joy. As a member of the same race, he naturally hoped a genius would appear among them.

"Mm," the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Li Yang nodded.

He thought to himself, ’I’m about to make contact with the upper echelon of the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon race. I wonder what kind of tests they’ll have?’

In reality, Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar was facing a major problem.

For example, Li Yang’s Thunder Star Beast avatar had comprehended five laws—Space, Time, Fire Element, Lightning, and Darkness—and had broken through to the World Realm in four of them.

The laws his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar comprehended would undoubtedly be identical to those of his Thunder Star Beast avatar.

’Both happen to have Five Elements? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?’

’Both just happen to be monstrous geniuses, both happen to have cultivated for seventy or eighty years, and both happen to have comprehended the exact same five laws...’

’Stacking up such astonishing coincidences, even if no tests reveal anything, it might still arouse the suspicion of certain observant individuals.’

However, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Li Yang was not the least bit flustered; he was clearly well-prepared.

"Hm?" As he was lost in thought, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon Li Yang suddenly looked toward a point not far away.

A disturbance was coming from that direction. Just as he sensed it, a figure appeared before him.

It was a colossal Fierce Flood Dragon, over a thousand meters long. Although its aura was restrained, the faint pressure it exuded still made Li Yang feel completely unable to muster even a sliver of resistance.

’An Emperor?’ Li Yang thought to himself.

He had met more and more powerful experts lately, even seeing several Dominators, so he could make a rough judgment of the newcomer’s strength.

Beside Li Yang, Han Yun saw the figure and immediately said with reverence, "Elder Heiya."

"Mm."

Elder Heiya nodded, but his gaze was fixed on Li Yang’s Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar. He asked, "Han Yun, is this the genius you mentioned?"

"Yes, Elder," Han Yun replied hurriedly.

He then introduced him to Li Yang, "Kong Yu, this is an Emperor of our race, Elder Heiya."
