Just as the Twelve Fiend Martyrs were exclaiming in glee, Archfiend Antigonus made his way forward. He raised his hands slowly and called upon a terrifying burst of magical energy that he directed into the Holy Sky Stone.
Then, the Holy Sky Stone gleamed like the sun. It cast rays so blinding that the Fiend Martyrs could barely open their eyes.
"Open, Holy Sky Stone."
Just then, a thick, weathered voice rang through from the rock. "You may ask me three questions. Ask them now."
The voice was steely with authority, as if it left no room for retaliation.
The Fiend Martyrs held their breaths at the voice, not daring to say a word. They knew that the voice belonged to the Great Pangu's consciousness. Of course, they did not dare to misbehave.
At the same time, Archfiend Antigonus took a deep breath as he stepped forward to address the stone. "Will the fiend race take over the Godly Region and the world?"
"Absolutely not!" The same weathered voice rang through without an ounce of hesitation.
Archfiend Antigonus' face flushed an ugly shade of red. "And why is that?"
The voice sounded from the stone again. "A man is destined to stop the fiend race."
A man?
Archfiend Antigonus furrowed his brows. Behind him, the Twelve Fiend Martyrs exchanged glances with each other.
Was it the Nine Heaven Emperor? How could he be Archfiend Antigonus' match?
The Ancient Ancestors were even further out of the question. They were still in closed-door cultivation and would not be leaving that anytime soon.
So who could it be?
Finally, Archfiend Antigonus snapped back to his senses as he asked the stone the final question. "Who is the man destined to do that?" As he spoke, Archfiend Antigonus' gaze was filled with expectation.
If that person existed, he would have to take him down, no matter the cost.
The voice did not say anything. Instead, the stone gleamed brilliantly, emitting a curious energy force that morphed into a figure.
The figure stood tall in the air, followed by all four of the Congenial Beasts. The man radiated unimaginable authority.
Him?!
