In the eastern part of the Great Steppe, a mountain soared into the clouds. At the summit, a gray tent had been erected. In front of the tent, a brazier blazed, but there was no one around it. It was an exceptionally bizarre sight.

If someone got close, they would be able to hear a faint voice come from that empty tent on the summit.

“My master, have things truly reached this stage?”

“This slave knows, but... this slave hopes that Master will reconsider!”

“This slave would not dare! I will strictly carry out Master’s order!”

“Yes!”

The voice of a woman came from the tent, and it seemed to be carrying out a conversation with someone else. But even though it was possible to hear that woman’s voice, the one speaking with her remained unheard. Each time, it was only possible to hear a hoarse scratching sound.

After a long while, the conversation seemed to end, and all the voices disappeared.

Buzz!

In a flash of light and rippling air, a figure appeared within the empty tent.

This woman was around thirty years old and had a beautiful face, and she wore a resplendent priestess gown.

But she had a white silk scarf the width of two fingers wrapped around her eyes, making her seem both mysterious and beautiful.

“All of this is destiny!”

The priestess sighed as she looked at a certain point in the distance, a complicated look on her face.

The steppe was empty, but in the ‘eyes’ of the priestess, she could see two figures rapidly approaching.

Buzz!

With a long sigh, the tent, the priestess, and the coal brazier disappeared as if they had never existed.

A few moments later, in a flash of light, a figure appeared at the foot of Mount Yaluo.

“Supremes are truly impressive individuals.”

Wang Chong looked up at the bald face of the mountain as he commented.

He had arrived at Mount Yaluo early and had been searching for any sign of Luo Supreme or the entrance to the dimension that this mysterious Turkic War God had hidden himself in.

But this was easier said than done. Wang Chong had wasted an entire day without finding any sign of Luo Supreme.

He was now beginning to somewhat understand why the Celestial God Organization had never been able to find him, even though they knew full well that he was in Mount Yaluo.

“Spatial geography is completely different from geography in reality. There’s no point in knowing that the entrance to Luo Supreme’s dimension is in Mount Yaluo, because for Luo Supreme, it doesn’t matter if the entrance is in Mount Yaluo or in the Central Plains, since Heaven’s dimension is always in the depths of spacetime!” Li Xuantu’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind. He had spent far more time immersed in Grotto Heaven laws than Wang Chong, so he had a deep understanding of spatial laws.

Spatial laws were extremely complex. Knowing that the entrance was in Mount Yaluo was like only having a piece of the puzzle. One piece was far from enough to make out the full appearance of the puzzle.

“Luo Supreme is probably the most cautious of them all, and he’s always been on guard against the Celestial God Organization and Heaven. Origin Supreme needed to protect the people of Sindhu, so he was always somewhat restrained, and Unity Supreme set up the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple and was closely connected to it. These people had burdens, but Luo Supreme is different. Even the Turks have abandoned him, so he has nothing holding him down.

“If he wants to hide, it will truly be rather difficult to find him,” Wang Chong sternly said.

He had sensed special pulses of power from the summit of Mount Yaluo several times, but each time he went over, the other party had seemingly already sensed him and disappeared. Thus, Wang Chong had made little progress.

“Right, Heaven is moving against all the rebel Supremes and even managed to kill Origin Supreme and take his Doomsday Insignia. Do you think he knows?” Li Xuantu suddenly said, bringing up the matter of Origin Supreme.

Li Xuantu was extremely interested in the internal strife of the Celestial God Organization. His sharp intuition told him that this strife was perhaps their best and only chance to achieve victory.

“Luo Supreme isn’t as closed-up as you think. He’s just vastly restrained his operations so as to not attract the attention of outsiders. That doesn’t mean that he knows nothing about the outside world. I sense that he has always had spies on the outside, and his understanding of what’s going on is probably greater than we imagine.

“He probably already knows what happened to Origin Supreme,” Wang Chong said.

He sensed that Luo Supreme was much stronger than many of the Supremes, including Genesis Supreme. Judging by his actions over the past several hundred years, he was either truly weakening or was far more troublesome to deal with than imagined, and Wang Chong would lean more toward the latter.

After all, Heaven and Essence Supreme had chosen to deal with Origin Supreme first before dealing with Luo Supreme.

“If that’s true, it means that Luo Supreme has already made his preparations and will probably be even harder to find than usual.” Li Xuantu’s voice came from the halo divine tool.

Li Xuantu had never underestimated the Supremes. This trip to the steppe would probably be more difficult than anticipated.

Time was not on their side. Once Heaven succeeded, they would lose any hope of victory. Moreover, within the halo divine tool, Li Xuantu could tell that even though the several hundred people of the Wang Family Residence had been sealed, their condition was worsening.

After a few moments of silence, Wang Chong laughed.

“Heh, relax. We’ll definitely find him.”

Buzz!

As if sensing something, Wang Chong turned and looked behind him.

The two of them could sense an astonishing energy rapidly approaching.

Wang Chong instantly disappeared with Li Xuantu.

A second later, with a massive roar, a spatial disturbance appeared to the south of Mount Yaluo, sixty-some meters in the air. A moment later, space parted, and a dazzling golden boat emerged from the depths of spacetime.

This golden boat was surrounded by a storm of energy and instantly exerted a mountainous pressure that made even Mount Yaluo slightly tremble.

Buzz!

A split-second later, three enormously powerful and divine figures appeared in front of the golden boat. The earth trembled, and Mount Yaluo seemed to sink a little into the ground.

To the left, Grand Supreme looked around and indifferently said, “This should be the place.”

“Such profound methods. Alas, it was all within Heaven’s expectations,” Radiance Supreme added.

Only the silver-eyed youth, Essence Supreme, was calm and unperturbed, with neither happiness nor sadness on his face.

“Luo Supreme, an old friend has come. Why have you not come to welcome him?”

Essence Supreme’s eyes scanned the earth before finally resting on the summit.

All was quiet, and the only sound was that of Essence Supreme’s booming voice. There was no response, as if the three had been talking to themselves.

“Hmph!”

Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme coldly snorted in displeasure.

As a Grotto Heaven realm expert, Luo Supreme could even sense a fly passing over Mount Yaluo. It was impossible for him to have not heard their voices. Luo Supreme was just choosing to ignore them.

Essence Supreme remained unperturbed, as if he had already anticipated this.

“Luo Supreme, you were the strongest of the twelve Supremes, and some said that you were almost able to match Heaven. But that was then and this is now.”

Essence Supreme’s voice resounded through the world.

“Since you are not willing to come out, I will personally invite you out.”

As Essence Supreme spoke, he took a step forward.

Bang!

He walked the air as if it was solid ground, and an enormous energy erupted from his body and into the space below.

A flash of light emerged from Essence Supreme’s body and formed into the Supreme Essence Compass. A few moments later, countless silver rays of light erupted from the compass and covered Mount Yaluo.

Rumble!

This energy caused Mount Yaluo and the section of space it was established on to shudder as the countless silver threads locked down the region.

In the center of this silver weave, a white light like a flashing star appeared.

“Hmph, right here.”

Essence Supreme confidently smiled as he thrust out a finger, and a torrent of spacetime energy hurtled toward that white light.

Crack!

There was a deafening crack as if a domain was shattering, and the space on which Mount Yaluo was established shattered like glass.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind swept over the region, and as the three Supremes looked on, the deserted Mount Yaluo suddenly grew three times larger. Not only that, an enormous and majestic palace of gold appeared on the summit.

This palace was one hundred meters tall and grandiose to behold, tinged with a hint of hallowed divinity. This palace was built up along the entire face of the mountain, and some buildings even hung out from the sides, forming an extravagant and ancient palace complex.
