Chapter 489: Invoking the heavenly mandate.
The spaceship landed, and there, out in the open, was a man with long black hair and a grin on his face.
The instant Xia Qingyue saw him, her blood began to rapidly boil.
"We are killing that dude in a minute." Grey smiled mysteriously.
"We are pleased to meet the patriarch."
Beside the patriarch were his right and left hands, and all around them were immortal cultivators exhibiting the aura of the 5th and 6th ranks.
And the person behind it was none other than the man standing in front of her.
"We were waiting for your arrival, but... who are they?" Zheng Xuan asked while pointing at Grey and his group.
The other elven talents hearing this wore confused expressions. They knew something suspicious was going on, but with the elders lying, they frowned. Soon, however, the elders communicated telepathically, and they all kept quiet.
However, they didn’t reply. Right now, Grey was staring at the man on Zheng Xuan’s right without blinking.
’We are pretty lucky, aren’t we, Fragment? And it looks like this guy managed to merge with the Lesser Heaven and reach the 6th rank.’ Grey stared deadpan at the guy.
Alissa was staring daggers at him as they spoke.
’Do we care about that?’ Grey said with a grin slowly forming on his face.
Eve and Eterna tried to communicate with him, but he cut off the telepathic link.
Boom!
Boom!
The disguise around Grey disappeared; Grey walked up in his original appearance, complete with his crown and saintly halo.
"What?!" Former General Ben and Priest Leon’s expressions began to visibly change.
Seeing this, the others behind him also began to reveal their true appearances.
"Y-You... Xia Qingyue?!" Zheng Xuan’s eyes went wild.
They were the elders of the Sovereign Palace.
Boom!
"The Soul Nourishing Jade." Zheng Xuan’s face was filled with horror. "So it was with you after all."
Boom!
"You might not remember me, but you might remember this power." Grey smiled as he unleashed the power of the Chaos Lotus into the world.
A crushing pressure enveloped everyone, the elven elders, the elven talents, even the people with him wore stunned expressions.
"This... that lotus." Leon was stunned.
Boom!
"Zheng Xuan. I am back." Xia Qingyue stared at Zheng Xuan, who was visibly panicking.
At the same time, Leon also acted.
"Leon, kill them!" Zheng Xuan ordered with intense bloodlust.
"Brother..." Julie called out.
He smiled, and the following moment, his voice glitched out like a final verdict. "Xia Qingyue, hold onto my hand if you want to kill that man. It’s time to unleash my domain."
The Lesser Heaven Leon’s powers erupted, the immortal cultivators shot towards Grey at once, and the elders of the Sovereign Immortal Palace that had recovered got back on their feet and also rushed forward.
Then, the words fell.
The Beast of Finality roared as it unleashed its power to fuel the domain.
It covered every enemy in an instant, and reality broke like glass.
"I’m dying... is this my injury from the past?! How can it appear now?!"
"I will leave you to him. The Beast of Finality has locked his cultivation. Do whatever you want with him." Grey spoke as he eyed Xia Qingyue, who wore an expressionless face with immense bloodlust radiating from her.
Grey shook his head as he turned towards Leon, who was visibly panicking.
"The High Order? Does A##### even know it exists?" Grey chuckled coldly. "You are just a doggy with no role in this world. You once antagonized the Blue Star. Yet look at you now."
He tossed it towards Leon, who shrieked in disbelief.
As a 6th ranker currently, Leon shouldn’t feel anything, but right now he felt like he was a weak mortal losing his breath under Grey’s hands.
Excruciating pain erupted from him as Heavenly Flame and the Flame of Entropy combined and destroyed him completely.

Two voices boomed in the outside world, which had grown empty thanks to Grey absorbing everyone into his domain.
"N-Not good, it’s 8th rankers."
"Grey cannot win against that." Eterna spoke with danger. "Quick, call the Yellow Ancestor or we should use the escape talisman given by him."
"Call the Yellow Ancestor and escape? Hmph, don’t think you can leave. Don’t look down on the might of us 8th rankers!"
"No... Brother." Julie’s eyes went wide.
However, the exact following second, the entire world froze.
A terrifying golden light erupted from the ground, shooting into the sky. Within seconds, it covered all of the planet and spread into the entire starry sky.
The Heavenly Dao had descended.
"This power... HEAVENLY DAO? AGAIN?!" Eve stood up from the ground in disbelief, her figure digitally glitching. "Fck, is this guy related to the heavenly dao?!"
"It was me who dared to make trouble in the Immortal Sovereign Palace." A figure shot out from the cracked domain and stood in the air with boundless power protecting and empowering him.
"This voice... That kid. It’s him." The Yellow Ancestor and others were already on high alert at the edge of the world; hearing his voice, they confirmed it with a look of disbelief.
Boom!
"You two immortal dogs were seen colluding with the Crystal Zerg race, who is with the Abyss and most importantly, you hurt my benefactor, Xia Qingyue, Yes this is personal. Hence, today you shall die"
Boom!
The 8th rankers couldn’t even blink as their existences vanished into nothingness.
Today, Grey Lockhart had slayed two 8th rankers.
