Chapter 808: Respond
As soon as Shi Xingzun saw the figure aboard the Luminous Ark, he bowed slightly and greeted with a hint of reverence in his voice. "Tyrant Origin."
Respect was earned through strength. After Li Pin single-handedly defeated four Tyrants from the Divine Race's Bloodblade Squad, no one in the Astral World dared to underestimate him again.
Li Pin gave a slight nod to the Humanity Sanctum's former Hall Master. "I appreciate you all coming to assist."
"It's our duty," Tyrant Wu Liang quickly responded. "Tyrant Origin, this area still isn't completely safe. It's best if we move toward the border near human territory. I'll pilot the vessel and follow behind to provide protection. Please proceed without worry."
"No need. Let's return together," Li Pin said. "Unless the Divine Race or Skyblaze Tribe sends a Heavenly Emperor, anyone else who comes will only be throwing their lives away. And if a foreign Heavenly Emperor does intervene, our Human Race's Supremes won't just sit back and watch. As long as we can hold them off briefly, the outsider is finished."
He sounded calm, like he was simply stating a fact.
Together with Sasha, Li Pin had already crushed the Bloodblade Squad, renowned for being able to kill newly ascended Heavenly Emperors. If the enemy dispatched only a few Tyrants or Sacred Monarchs, it would be suicide.
Upon realizing this, Shi Xingzun, Tyrant Wu Liang, and Dymor were all deeply shaken.
A sense of awe rose in Dymor's heart. A Tyrant who treated Sacred Monarchs as if they were nothing... what kind of boldness was that?
Shi Xingzun was filled with emotions.
Just a few decades ago, Li Pin had still been part of the Humanity Sanctum, growing up right under his watch. Yet in such a short time, he had already climbed this high. Even Shi Xingzun himself, once the Vice Hall Master of the Sanctum, now had to look up to him. If Li Pin continued at this pace for a few more centuries, or even a thousand years, how far could he go? Becoming a Sacred Monarch and ruling over a vast region seemed all but certain.
Tyrant Wu Liang, on the other hand, felt a cold chill creep down his spine. Did Li Pin really see Sacred Monarchs as beneath him? But thinking carefully... Li Pin did seem to be close to reaching that level already.
