As soon as the Tian Gong Minister appeared, he directly scolded Hao Jun, his cold voice carrying a penetrating power that resonated with the forces of heaven and earth.
In that moment, the holy energy in the endless expanse of heaven and earth boiled over.
Everyone's expression changed; this is the strength of a Saint Master?
When he spoke, the laws of the universe trembled with his words, and all principles vanished, leaving behind an empty void. Even the movement of heaven and earth seemed to stop under his influence, birthed, destroyed, and vanished with his thoughts.
It was as if in this world, there was nothing that a Saint Master could not achieve.
"The master of the Saint Realm, ruling everything, with words that command laws and thoughts that control myriad principles… this realm..." Qin Chen murmured, seemingly shaken by this level of power: "Saint Master! Saint Master!"
He spoke in astonishment.
Although Qin Chen had encountered many powerful figures who were Saint Masters, sensing their presence, such as the powers within the Forbidden Domain, the body of the Yan Luo Saint Master, the Wild God Master, and the Eternal Sword Master,
Even the Wild God Master and the Eternal Sword Master were peak Saint Masters, almost touching that supreme level of existence, undoubtedly far stronger than the Tian Gong Minister.
Yet even so, none of those experiences matched the shock he felt now, which was more relatable and moved him deeply.
Because the Saint Masters he had seen before were merely auras, remnants of souls, or phantoms, while the Tian Gong Minister, the Yao Guang Saint Master, was truly present in this space, emanating his eternal power.
This power descended, and Qin Chen couldn't even muster the thought of resistance; aside from standing, he couldn't move at all. Many disciples present were even more unable to bear it, all prostrating on the ground, heads bowed, not daring to raise their heads.
The authority of the Saint Master was overwhelming and not to be offended. Whether they were early-stage Heaven Saints, mid-stage giants, or late-stage overlords, at this moment, they were all like quails, trembling in fear.
The towering figure of the Yao Guang Saint Master loomed in the sky. After a cold shout, he did not say anything further, but coldly awaited the response from the elder Hao Jun. With the dignity of the Yao Guang Saint Master, he would not speak again.
Although he fell silent, Hao Jun suddenly felt a sense of dread wash over him, as if engulfed in an endless abyss, and he was jolted awake: "The Minister is questioning me. If I don't answer, the next moment will be death!"
"Minister, I, Hao Jun… am wholeheartedly dedicated to the dignity of Tian Gong, and I hold no rebellious intentions."
Hao Jun knelt on the ground, banging his head repeatedly, this elder, like a servant before his master, a eunuch before the emperor, was overwhelmed by fear from the depths of his being.
Becoming a Saint but not being a master means being a servant, no matter how strong one is! In front of a Saint Master, even a late-stage Heaven Saint overlord is still a servant, a subordinate.
"For the dignity of Tian Gong, you, as a Supreme Elder, yet you target the disciples of Tian Gong, is that also for our Tian Gong?"
The cold voice of the Yao Guang Saint Master echoed.
No one expected that the first thing the Tian Gong Minister would do upon arriving was to seek justice for Qin Chen.
Hao Jun's expression changed, and endless fear surged from his heart: "Minister, it’s not what you think. This kid has just joined Tian Gong for a short time, yet has such cultivation, able to answer countless elders' questions on refining, and he even masters the rare time principles of the heavenly realm, and still dares to target our core Holy Son. Hence, I suspected he might be a spy for another faction, even a Demon Tribe infiltrator, which is why I intended to capture him. Please, Minister, judge wisely."
Bang, bang, bang! Hao Jun banged his head desperately, blood covering his forehead. Even a low-grade Heavenly Sacred Weapon wouldn’t easily break through his defenses, and yet he didn’t dare to activate his sacred essence, reducing his forehead to that of an ordinary person.
