Chapter 829: Epilogue
"Well said," another Heavenly Emperor cut in, "Let these humans enjoy their moment of pride. The more arrogant they get now, the harder they'll fall in the Overlord Competition."
Emperor Ashura nodded. "I trust Scorching Flame on this."
He glanced down again, watching the human move through the battlefield like a ghost in an empty hall, cutting down opponent after opponent as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables. Ashura's expression grew colder with each kill.
After a long while, he turned away, uninterested in watching the younger Divine Race get slaughtered. He entered his warship, preferring not to see any more.

"This human prodigy... is incredibly strong!"
"The reports we received were true. A human with less than a thousand years of cultivation, who has grown powerful enough to serve as a lead commander in the Overlord Competition. Tyrant Origin, Li Pin!"
"The Human Race's population is huge. With such a vast base, gene mutations producing extraordinary talents will inevitably appear from time to time. It's a pity our Unique Lifeform Alliance has so few members, or else competing in the Prodigy Competition wouldn't be so hard."
"To think such a supreme prodigy didn't appear in our Sky Clan but among humans instead! How infuriating! Truly hateful!"
Several Emperors of the Divine Race had already foreseen the fate of their three great Cosmic Radiance. Other races also mourned deeply.
Especially the Sky Clan's Heavenly Emperors, whose eyes toward Li Pin were icy and unhidden. If rules allowed, they would strike him down on the spot, devour him alive, and crush his bones to dust.
In contrast, Heavenly Emperors from the Demon Race, Unique Lifeform Alliance, and some top-tier races who also bore hostility toward humans wore smiles.
