Chapter 2549: Conflict
The voice contained inexplicable authority. All living beings in this world heard it and felt an overwhelming urge to kneel and kowtow.
The weaker shamans had already caved in and fallen to their knees. Meanwhile, Kuafu was barely holding on, but his creaking bones and trembling muscles showed that he was barely stopping himself.
As for Xingtian, he stared at the sky with an air of valiance. This hinted that he was significantly stronger than Kuafu.
Zu An initially felt compelled to kneel too, but his Seven-Colored Divine Halo suddenly shone, and the pressure he felt lightened. He quickly pulled the collapsing Mermaid Queen behind him. He was taken aback to see Yumen Beiqing standing calmly, but he still reached out to protect her with his divine halo.
As for the Goddess of Wu Mountain, she stood completely unfazed by the pressure.
There was no need for introductions; it was obvious to Zu An that the person who had just spoken was the legendary Celestial Emperor, though the other party’s aura felt weirdly familiar. It feels like the person who bestowed me with the Sun Slaying Bow the last time I was here.
“That is?” Zu An glanced at the Goddess of Wu Mountain.
The Goddess of Wu Mountain approached him with a surprised look. She appeared to be curious about his Seven-Colored Divine Halo. “That is Zhong Mountain, where Gu lives.”
Xingtian remarked with a frown, “Zhong Mountain is Ancestral Shaman Zhulong’s territory, and Gu is Zhulong’s son. Isn’t the Celestial Emperor going overboard here?”
Many believed Zhulong to be the strongest Ancestral Shaman. He had many legends surrounding him, such as daybreak being the moment he opened his eyes, and nightfall being the moment he closed them...
Unsurprisingly, a terrifying aura suddenly flared from Zhong Mountain, as if a formidable being had been jolted awake. Unlike the Celestial Emperor’s authoritative and dignified aura, this aura was wild and terrifying. In comparison to the Celestial Emperor's, however, the latter didn’t pale at all.
