The lightning hit Yue Zhe, but he didn't even flinch.
He was just looking down upon Liu Feng, with a smile so wide that Liu Feng was creeped the hell out. He was already surprised that Yue Zhe took the attack.
Why would someone take the attack of a stranger that they never even knew?
A second blast of lightning did not come raining down. Instead, the clouds parted.
Liu Feng released his seal, and instantly, a half-dead Hong Qiu slumped out of his entrapment, and fell on the ground.
But every single eye was on Liu Feng, or rather Yue Zhe, who took the attack and was still unfazed.
"Boy. When you used the Heaven Suppressing Art for the first time, what happened? Did you meet anyone special?" Yue Zhe quickly asked, leaning in toward Liu Feng.
For a second, Liu Feng timed out as he thought about the time he felt like he had died, went up to heaven, and then came back. He did indeed hear the voice of someone, but then he was immediately returned to where he came from.
"Did you hear a voice or not?" Yue Zhe's voice turned from that of curiosity to that of desperation. His eyes reeked of desperation. Yue Zhe clearly wanted the man that Liu Feng had spoken to that day.
"I think I spoke to someone that day. But it was only for a brief moment, and he immediately sent me down, saying that I was too weak." Liu Feng said.
"That is right. You are indeed, a little too weak. But that is not the issue." Yue Zhe shook his head as he peeled himself away from Liu Feng and looked up at the sky.
"You tried to kill off all dissent. Well guess what? My master is still alive. And sooner or later, we will all come for your goddamn throne. You want to strike down at me? I will see you try. Sooner or later, that throne of yourself will be knocked down to the throne." Yue Zhe roared at the skies.
But this time, the heavens didn't even respond. There was utter silence.
After a big fight, with a huge family falling to ruin, the center of attention was not the victor, but a lunatic who was dancing with joy.
"Haha! Baidu! You have a good one here. Keep him alive till I come back. I need you to keep him alive. If anything happens to him, then I will make sure that you won't be able to do what you came here to do." he shouted at Liu Man, and then mysteriously disappeared.
Finally, the tension eased. Everyone looked at Liu Feng. For some reason, Yue Zhe had this incredible favorable impression on Liu Feng, going so far as protecting him from an attack!
But Liu Feng was the most curious of them all.
The connection between that man and Yue Zhe was already spoken of. Yue Zhe had proclaimed that his master was still alive.
And that fact stunned Liu Feng.
An existence like Yue Zhe, someone who was called the Moon Devourer, one of the five sealing beasts that dared to go against the heavens for thousands of years and still survive, had a master to serve?
Without a doubt, none of the four constellation beasts were serving a master. That was for sure. So what terrifying man could actually control five beasts, each one like Yue Zhe?
In just this little time that he was here, Yue Zhe proved that he was on equal terms with Liu Man, who as a constellation beasts and was one of the strongest existences in the world once upon a time. He also survived years of torture in the Moon Pavilion, and could survive the attacks of the heavens even with the suppression he faced like everyone else.
Liu Feng's mind was just blank as he looked at Liu Man.
"Surely, you must know the story here." he transmitted to Liu Man.
The truth might be a secret that was not proper to tell anyone else.
"The five sealed beasts, I did hear a rumor that they were actually created by an existence that rivaled the heavens itself." Liu Man nodded as he transmitted back.
"An existence that rivals the heavens? How is that possible? I thought that the heavens were almighty." Liu Feng was shocked.
"That is where you are absolutely wrong. If the heavens were almighty, then the only power that they would allow in this world is Dao that only came from swearing fealty to the heavens. And yet, cultivation exists. Why do you think that is?"
"The heavens also have to follow the law of the universe. The heavens are not supreme even in this world. The world itself is what is supreme. There is much that you need to learn, I cannot even begin to start." Liu Man sighed as he shook his head.
"Fine then. Let me ask you this. Are the five sealing bests all immortal? In the truest sense of the world?" Liu Feng asked.
"I do not know. I do not have an answer to that question. According to the rumor that I heard, the existence that created the five beasts made them so powerful that no attack was strong enough to tear them apart before they could regenerate. They were strong, but they also had rules to follow. There is a reason that this world isn't ruled by them. That existence is said to have forbade the five beasts from going against anyone but the heavens, and only interfering in the mortal world when they are provoked to." Liu Man said.
"An existence that rivaled the heavens. The creation of the five sealing beasts. Just where did you hear these rumors of something that even you do not know of?"
"That, I cannot divulge." Liu Man shook his head.
