Chapter 2207: The Spirit Rhinoceros Sovereign

With a gentle grasp of her jade hand, space tore apart, and Linglong Fairy had already followed behind the golden list to the entrance of a mist-shrouded grand hall.

The Realm of Freedom, the Palace of Freedom!

The palace doors were tightly shut.

“Linglong Heaven, Linglong Fairy, hereby answer the summons to pay respects to the Spirit Rhinoceros Sovereign!”

Linglong Fairy bowed with cupped fists, standing still, not daring to move.

The Nine Heavens and Nine Sovereigns sounded equal, but as a sovereign herself, she understood that the one in the Realm of Freedom was the true ruler of the divine realm, unmatched by any.

No wind, no cries of birds or beasts; the air was as still as if frozen solid.

Linglong Fairy scarcely dared to breathe.

The other party had sent a golden list to invite her here. Now that she had come, they kept the doors closed and did not even speak—what did they intend?

It seemed she had not offended this supreme sovereign!

“Linglong Fairy, having come by invitation, humbly requests an audience with the Spirit Rhinoceros Sovereign!”

After an unknown pause, seeing no response, Linglong Fairy spoke again.

Since she had bowed with cupped fists, half an hour had passed, and her posture had not changed at all—not because she couldn't, but because she dared not.

Another half hour passed, and the palace still did not open. Just as Linglong Fairy grew increasingly uneasy, a faint voice rang out.

“This is a clone formed from a single thought of mine. I will give you three moves.”

Hum!

As the voice ended, a figure appeared outside the palace doors. Clad in white, plain and elegant, he seemed to merge with nature, yet as if not existing in this world.

Linglong Fairy’s brows twitched.

She truly had not offended this one… Why give her three moves?

“Yes!”

Though puzzled, knowing that the other’s command could not be changed, she took a deep breath, raised her brows, and struck forward with a palm.

Rip!

The space before her tore like paper, and cracks of pitch black appeared in the void outside the palace.

The cracks landed on the white-clad figure, but like ripples striking a rock, they left no trace.

“One!” The white-clad figure spoke expressionlessly.

Seeing that he was completely unharmed, Linglong Fairy gritted her silver teeth, dared not hold back any longer, and clenched both fists, striking downward simultaneously.

Though a woman, her talent and brilliance were not inferior to any of the other eight sovereigns. With her full cultivation, even Cloud Serpent Sovereign would have to avoid her锋芒 when encountering her.

Now unleashing her full power, her two fists were like millstones that could destroy the world. Where they passed, there were not just cracks but spatial dust.

In other words, under one punch, space shattered into powder, and any life within could not possibly withstand it.

However…

The white-clad figure remained motionless, letting the force land on his body, leaving not even a mark on his clothes.

“Two!” The white-clad figure continued.

Knowing this was the last move, Linglong Fairy let a drop of blood fly from her brow, instantly igniting. In the next moment, her aura surged again, and she struck another palm.

This strike was more than twice as powerful as the first, but this time, space neither shattered nor turned to dust—it warped.

The palm landed on the white-clad figure, who remained unmoved. Then, the latter raised his head, and a voice sounded in her ear: “Three!”

With the word, he flicked a finger.

Bang!

Linglong Fairy was sent flying backward, spitting blood in midair, and crashed heavily to the ground, her face pale.

With one finger, she was severely injured.

The two were not on the same level.

“Thank you for your instruction, Spirit Rhinoceros Sovereign…”

Bearing the pain, Linglong Fairy dared not say more but gritted her teeth and asked, “May I ask where I have erred…”

The one in the Realm of Freedom rarely acted, but when he did… it meant he was displeased and seeking someone to vent his anger.

But…

What exactly have I done to offend you? Tell me, and I'll change—won't that work?

The moment I arrived, I got beaten up...

I'd die with my eyes open in regret!

"If you want to teach me a lesson, you still need to cultivate more. This level of strength... is far from enough!"

With a gentle flicker, the white-clad figure turned into a drop of clear water and fell to the ground.

It was merely a water clone of the opponent!

A clone made from a single drop of water had already defeated them...

This one, Zizaitian, was indeed the pinnacle existence in the divine realm, unmatched by anyone.

Shocked, Linglong Fairy was even more bewildered.

"Teach you a lesson?"

With you being so formidable, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to teach you!

Clearly, it's you who's teaching me a lesson, isn't it?

"No... I muttered to myself about teaching the woman Zhang Xuan likes a lesson, and then I was summoned... Could it be..."

Her body suddenly stiffened, and Linglong Fairy's face was full of terror.

If her guess was correct, that Zhang Xuan... was truly too heaven-defying.

His beast pet was that one, and his girlfriend was this one...

Was he really just an ordinary peak upper-grade deity?

"I'll just not trouble this guy anymore from now on..."

With only a guess in her heart, unsure if it was right and not daring to ask, Linglong Fairy gently flickered and returned to Linglong Heaven.

Just as she returned to her palace, she saw a middle-aged woman hurrying over.

"Congratulations, Fairy! Congratulations!"

"What congratulations?"

Having just had a titled god king killed, been publicly slapped in the face, and then summoned by that one from Zizaitian to be beaten up...

Full of frustration, where was the joy?

"The two people you brought from the Divine Mountain some days ago have been cultivating in the [Time-Space Mirror]. Just now, not only did they reach the peak of god king, but they also passed the test simultaneously..."

The middle-aged woman hurriedly said.

"Passed?"

Her eyes wide, Linglong Fairy's face lit up with joy.

After being humiliated repeatedly, this was indeed the best news.

These two, whom she had found on the Divine Mountain, had cost her no small price to nurture. Their breakthrough now meant that in this spiritual tide, Linglong Heaven would no longer be as passive as last time.

She now had the initiative to choose.

"Let's go see!"

Her frustration swept away, she gently flickered and arrived before the Time-Space Mirror.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary mirror, but inside, the flow of time was ten thousand times faster than the outside world.

In other words, from the time she brought these two from the Divine Mountain until now, several hundred years had already passed.

However, going from just-broken-through deities to peak god kings in a few hundred years was already a terrifying cultivation speed.

Whoosh!

With a mental command, two figures were brought out from the Time-Space Mirror.

They were two girls—one looked somewhat gentle, the other cold as frost, expressionless.

The time within the mirror had left no trace on their bodies.

As soon as they emerged from the mirror, powerful auras and energy radiated from them, as if about to tear space apart.

Though only at the peak of god king, their strength surpassed that of ordinary titled god kings.

Their techniques, temperament... all showed they had reached a perfect state.

The more she looked, the more she liked them. Linglong Fairy smiled slightly, her eyes bright with anticipation as she looked at them.

"You have both reached the peak of god king and can now bear the power of a title... Are you willing to become my titled god kings?"
