The Licentious Cultivator

Everyone that was fighting froze and looked up at the sky. A strong aura pervaded their bodies and one word left their mouths.

"Byron!"

Byron stood imposingly in the sky as he gazed at the people below him like they were ants. His gaze shifted from Kyosuke and Lu Zheng that fought in the air to Yu Er Dan and Makato that battled on the ground then to Alaka'i and the others before finally settling on Kumiko and the others.

"I am merely an avatar of Reverend Divine Prime Jade, merely acting according to his plans. I did not expect the last of the Changshou Tong Race that was sealed here to be released"

"Indeed. Such is the manner of time and karma" Another voice said coolly beside Byron.

"Gordon!" Alaka'i recognised the man in a heartbeat. Gordon looked exactly like Byron except his features were much smoother and his expression was tranquil.

He was different from Byron that was sealed in the aperture fragment for many millennia.

"What are you doing here, Gordon?" Byron asked calmly but contrary to his tone, his face held no expression of anger. Only the joy of finally reacquainting with a long lost friend could be seen on his face.

"Hmm. My disciple seems to have been caught up in the web of karma and has become a part of your inheritance" Gordon smiled as he gazed at Alaka'i.

The two men did not converse silently and their voices were very loud. Everyone could easily hear what they were saying.

Immortal Star's gaze glistened as he thought: "No wonder I could not offer any resistance. That bastard is actually the disciple of such a character"

"Say Byron, why don't you end this and skip to the final part. There is a matter that I must discuss with my disciple and I must not tarry. The flow of karma is beginning to quicken" Gordon said with a faint smile.

"I understand" Byron nodded as he gazed at the Changshou Tong Race clansmen. "However, I must get rid of some pests. The races of the Four Great Rebel Races cannot partake in the inheritance of a Reverend. That is the agreement of all the races"

Byron and Gordon stood calmly in the sky as they conversed. Their gazes were fixed on Lu Zheng and the others like a spectacle that they enjoyed watching.

Nobody dared to move. Lu Zheng's body burnt with a bright red aura as he floated and watched Byron and Gordon. For some reason, this occurrence reminded him of the time in the layered realm on Earth.

Then, he met Darmian, the Eternal realm Vermillion Bird expert and was thoroughly helpless before him. Now, he had grown to the third tier of the Acquisition realm but the characters before him had invincible might.

Pseudo Reverend!

That term was only used in legends and tales recounting the legendary eras when people with unquestionable might roamed the world.

Lu Zheng made a quick count in his mind.

~Reverend Primal Lotus, Reverend Great Flame, Reverend Divine Prime Jade, Reverend Sovereign Almight and Reverend Spectral Demon… even in all of history; only five people can easily win in a fight against them. Mountains even among mountains~

Byron gazed at Kumiko who cupped her fists around the Danna Chaotic Fruit. Golden mandalas shimmered into existence around her as the pressure from the Danna Chaotic Fruit burdened her. Even so, she did not dare to move a muscle.

"Hmm" Byron sighed and his gaze turned sharp. "Because of the sins of your ancestors, you cannot receive an inheritance of a Reverend. Your time in this place is up"

He did not speak much as the world seemed to bend and reform around him. Subtle tremors reverberated through the place as a profound change occurred.

Lu Zheng's dark eyes glistened as he understood.

~He is using his powers to alter the dharma that controls this place~

Space shimmered and sizzled like boiling tea and in the next moment, every member of the Changshou Tong Race was expelled completely from the aperture fragment of Reverend Divine Prime Jade.

Nothing was left. Kyosuke, Makato and the others had disappeared. Lu Zheng checked his body and discovered that the bruises that had covered him from fighting Makato and Kyosuke and disappeared.

"Did he… kill them?" Yi Tong Qu was the first person to speak.

Byron cocked his head at Yi Tong Qu's words and snorted: "I do not engage in mindless slaughter"

The world shook and Yi Tong Qu paled. He wondered if Byron was offended by his remark.

Gordon smiled brightly and faced Byron: "If time and karma persists, may we meet again"

"Hmm" Byron nodded and flew into the sky. It was obvious that he was preparing something huge.

"Alaka'i" Gordon flew downwards and everyone flinched instinctively. "Hehe, let us go"

Karma ribbons formed and in a flourish of colours, both Alaka'i and Gordon disappeared.
