Regardless of whether they were Dukes or Kings like Qin Jiujie and Zhao Zong, every single person could feel something taking shape in the skies above.

This power was suprand mighty, capable of manipulating the world in their image.

Only Kings were able to control worldly natural energy before it.

This was the authority wielded by an expert second only to a Heavenly Emperor.

……

"Triple Crowned King..." Within the Treasure Domain, Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the rest raised their heads with indescribably bitter expressions as they looked at the void. They could see a gray figure that stood proudly like a sovereign of the world, radiating terrifying undulations of energy. Its presence was like a titanic devil that walked out of the deepest abyss, its overwhelming pressure bearing down upon everyone. All of the World's End River Region's worldly natural energy ebbed and flowed with each breath it took.

High-grade Dukes like them were no different from ants before such an extraordinary existence. It didn't matter how many of them there were.

It could snuff them all out with just a thought. After all, it would just be as easy as taking a single step for it, while they would all be crushed underfoot.

Thus, they all felt despair when facing a Triple Crowned Other King. It wasn't as though they had not tried their best to destroy the black lotus. It was simply because it was essentially giving off undulations of the King Stage as well.

This was something that they couldn't overcwith force. Li Luo then sighed. Who would have expected that despite fighting so hard, they would fail to change the situation in any way. This was the most dire ordeal he had been through in his entire life. Even he didn't know how they could turn the tables. The Origin Reversion Institute was beyond frightening, and he had personally experienced it for himself now.

Jiang Qing'e leaned down beside Li Luo. She took the initiative to stretch her slender hand out and grab his. The two interlocked fingers, and she could feel his warmth.

"Sister Qing'e, it looks like we will truly be a pair of mandarin ducks that will share the sfate," Li Luo lamented.

Jiang Qing'e smiled slightly as her golden eyes shone with meaning. "Being able to die together isn't that bad."

Li Luo raised his head and looked into the void. He could sense the familiar energy undulations from Li Jingzhe as well as the terrifying energies coming from the figure in gray.

Compared to the rest of them, Li Jingzhe's life was much more important when looking at the bigger picture. After all, he was a peak existence in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. If Li Qingpeng or Li Jinpan were to fall here, the Dragon's Fang Lineage would continue to exist. However, if Li Jingzhe fell, then the Dragon's Fang Lineage would exist only in name. In the void, far away.

Li Jingzhe's gaze was directed towards the Treasure Domain. It almost seemed as though he had heard Li Luo's words, and a trace of a smile surfaced on his wizened face. He stretched his palm out and formed a hand seal. At that very instant, a golden dragon scale appeared on the backs of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's hands. The scales were engraved with runes that gave off an ancient air, and they began to glow brightly, enveloping Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's entire bodies.

This sudden change left the two of them surprised. They could sense that the space around them was distorting, forming a sort of vortex that swallowed them.

Following the Stygian Rain of Calamity's arrival, the World's End River Region had been sealed off, yet the golden dragon scales on the backs of their hands were able to interfere with it, ripping a passage through the void.

"Grandpa!" Li Luo was shocked. Who else but Li Jingzhe could do something like this in the World's End River Region?

Clearly, he had left a life-saving measure on them without their knowledge. All for the sake of leaving them a path of escape in a dire situation.

"Grandpa, there's no need to worry about us!" Li Luo shouted, his eyes red. Although he didn't know what sort of price Li Jingzhe would have to pay to send them out of the World's End River Region, he knew this would give his opponent an opportunity to act against him.

At the stime, Li Luo was somehow capable of sensing two familiar energy fluctuations in Heavenly Dragon City.

It was Li Fengyi and Li Jingtao! Clearly, Li Jingzhe had never harbored any expectations of retreat. He had chosen to send his descendents away safely.

The usually cold and stern old man had revealed his soft side in this moment of crisis. At the end of the day, he was no longer the lofty and esteemed Lineage Chief of the Dragon's Fang Lineage—he was just a grandpa that wanted to protect his grandchildren.

Meanwhile, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's change didn't go unnoticed.

Qin Baiyan had a complicated look in his eyes as he faced Li Qingpeng and Li Jinpan. "It looks like Lineage Chief Jingzhe didn't plan to protect his two sons."

Li Qingpeng's plump face showed a trace of a smile as he didn't seem to hold any dissatisfaction nor hatred towards his father's actions. "Well, that's fine with me. We can accompany him to the end here."

Li Jinpan laughed heartily. "Li Luo, Qing'e, take good care of yourselves. Don't let the old man down. So long as the two of you survive, the Dragon's Fang Lineage will rise again one day!"

Li Luo's eyes were red as he struggled violently. He knew that if he was truly sent away, he would likely never again be able to see Li Jingzhe, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, Ox Biaobiao, and the rest again! Thus, he fought bitterly to resist, but he was unable to shake off the golden light that covered him.

“Argh!”

He was only capable of a mournful roar. His fists were tightly clenched and his nails dug into his palm, causing fresh blood to ooze out.

……

Far away in the void.

The gray-robed Human Fetus sensed the energy undulations. While it was stabilizing its cultivation and truly entering the Triple Crowned King Stage, Li Jingzhe was using all his strength to send away his four grandchildren.

It then grinned at Li Jingzhe and said, "If you had taken the opportunity to escape before I had stabilized my cultivation, I wouldn't have been able to stop you. What I can't believe is that you chose to take that last bit of tto protect those four ant-like existences. Is this the so-called human emotions? It's truly ignorant of you."

Faced with the Human Fetus' mocking words, Li Jingzhe calmly replied, "I was unable to protect my third son all those years ago. Today, I'll ensure that no one will be able to touch them, so long as I am alive."

The Human Fetus sighed lightly. "What a pity. In this world, things will never go the way you wish. I'm afraid you won't be able to protect anyone today."

Li Jingzhe's ancient face suddenly changed and his gaze shifted towards the Treasure Domain. He roared with a voice so cold, it was bone-chilling, "Faceless Other King!"

As soon as he raised his palm, vast power surged towards him.

However, the Human Fetus flicked its finger lightly in response.

An endless abyss appeared out of thin air, cutting off the space they were in from the rest of the world, making it impossible for Li Jingzhe to intervene.

……

At the stime, countless pale fragments of skin danced within the Treasure Domain. Every piece of skin exuded a gloomy aura that struck fright into the hearts of Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of the high-grade Dukes.

The paper thin scraps of skin penetrated the golden light that surrounded the duo and covered the golden dragon scales on the backs of their hands.

The scales began to dim quickly.

The vortex that had opened up was also dissipating.

The two fell down as a result. As the shredded fragments of skin danced in the air, another rift opened up and someone stepped out of it.

This figure had no features on its face, but the muscles were lightly squirming.

It was the Faceless Other King.

His merciless laughter resounded throughout the area. "Hahahaha! Li Jingzhe, you can't even protect yourself right now, yet you wish to send people away? Has your mind becmuddled in your old age?"
