Flynn’s voice boomed like a great bell, shaking every corner of the earth.
Vast!
Thunderous!
What was most terrifying was that Flynn, who had just spoken from the foot of the mountain, had already appeared there.
What did this mean?
Instantaneous movement over several hundred meters?
“Flynn?”
“How can he be so strong?”
“A Grandmaster can’t be that powerful!”
After seeing Flynn at the center of a massive storm at the foot of the mountain, Maximo’s mind went blank.
The dozen or so big shots who had come to support Maximo also felt their scalps tingle and their heads nearly explode after witnessing the apocalyptic scene at the foot of the mountain.
What was Maximo doing?
This was no low-level Grandmaster; this was at least the realm of a Greater Sovereign!
Even the peak of the Great Grandmasters couldn’t compete!
Six thousand practitioners of Inner Strength were so frightened that their legs went weak and they sweated all over.
With his own power, he could cause a natural phenomenon that no ordinary martial artist could achieve.
With such power, not to mention six thousand people, even sixty thousand would struggle!
Just then, Maximo witnessed the most shocking scene of his life.
“Boom!”
Flynn stepped forward, ascending the first stone step leading to the mountain summit.
A ten-ton boulder exploded with a crash.
His step fell like a cannonball, sweeping up tremendous force.
“Whoosh-”
The air tore apart with a blast, sounding like a group of dragons roaring, utterly terrifying!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Under this overwhelming force, hundreds of practitioners at the foot of the mountain instantly turned into a mist of blood!
Blood rained down from the sky as Flynn ascended the steps.
With each step he took, the stone steps crumbled, and the bodies of hundreds of practitioners exploded.
Buildings within several hundred meters collapsed into rubble.
Trees fell and rocks tumbled!
It was like an earthquake of magnitude eight, following Flynn’s serpentine ascent.
Maximo and the others stood on the summit platform, watching Flynn ascend step by step, their hearts nearly stopping.
They were a thousand meters away from Flynn, but the pressure emanating from him came crashing down like a landslide, making it difficult for them to breathe.
It felt as if everyone was carrying a huge mountain on their backs, unable to straighten their waists!
“Maximo, you call this a low-level Grandmaster? Fuck your mother!”
“We’re done for, completely done! To offend such a celestial demon, we’re all finished!”
“With such power, all of us together couldn’t even fill the gaps between his teeth! Too terrifying, I’m done, I’m going home!”
Everyone looked down at the hellish scene below, their livers and gallbladders shattered, their spirits terrified.
Flynn’s displayed strength had transcended the human realm; they were no match for him, like matches against a tsunami, effortlessly extinguished!
They say a Grandmaster should not be insulted, and Flynn’s level was such that not even one look could be defied!
They were finished!
No chance of survival!
“I… I didn’t know either!” Maximo, on the verge of tears, collapsed to the ground.
He would never believe Flynn’s words were true.
Nor could he have imagined Flynn possessed such terrifying power.
The sky changed colors.
The sun and moon lost their light!
How could such a tiny place like Niarak harbor such a dragon?
He couldn’t understand it, even if he broke his head trying.
Braiden went mad, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
He couldn’t have imagined that Flynn, whom he had known for just two months and who seemed so unremarkable on ordinary days, possessed such earth-shattering power.
It was as if a god had descended to the mortal world!
“Mr. Goff, you and your seven Grandmasters, along with a hundred Semi-Grandmasters, don’t even have the capacity to fight him?” Braiden yelled unwillingly.
Maximo gave a wry smile and said, “Mr. Swanson, didn’t you see that my men turned into a mist of blood before they even reached him?”
“He did nothing, merely took a step, and instantly killed everything around him.”
“In front of him, a Grandmaster is like a baby! No, less than an ant!”
Braiden was not a person of martial arts, but Maximo knew all too well.
Forget the Greater Sovereign.
There’s a vast chasm between the initial and peak stages of a Grandmaster. In martial arts, the higher you go, the greater the disparity.
There’s simply no comparison!
Moreover, given Flynn’s calm demeanor, this was probably not even the extent of his true strength.
How powerful was Flynn’s combat prowess? He had no idea…
Was he even human?
“What! How can Flynn be so strong, it’s impossible, he’s just a nobody relying on others!” exclaimed Braiden, his eyes filled with fear as Flynn drew closer.
Endless fear.
It was as if he had fallen into an abyss, his body ice-cold.
By this time, Flynn had taken ten steps, thousands of cultivators had turned into blood mist, and the air was thick with the stench of blood, nauseating those who smelled it.
Below the middle of Cloudgate Mountain was like hell, terribly tragic.
Everyone’s minds went blank, their souls nearly left their bodies, and a pervasive fear of death spread.
It was as if heaven and earth had reversed, the sun and moon had shattered.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
From beneath the ground and above, two terrifying energies surged like hundred-meter-high waves, one wave after another.
It seemed as though thunder roared in the skies above, shattering eardrums.
It was as apocalyptic as could be.
Shocking!
Terrifying!
Nobody could withstand this immense pressure; everyone was drenched in cold sweat over and over again.
“Damn it! To hell with this, I’m out!”
“I surrender, I give up, I want to go home to my mom!”
“Brothers, run, run fast…”
In a moment, the mountain was overwhelmed with people in black clothes running for their lives, crying and scrambling, terrified out of their wits.
They fled Niarak, fled the Shipmeda State.
They vowed never to set foot in Ostrad again.
Staying here meant certain death! Offending Flynn meant certain death!
In just a few seconds, there was nothing left between Flynn and the mountain top.
Maximo and others wanted to flee too.
To flee Shipmeda State, to live in exile abroad if possible, they hoped to flee from Earth!
But just one glance from Flynn’s eyes, and Maximo and his men felt as if they were frozen, their legs weak, unable to move.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
All of them knelt down.
As if facing a deity incarnate, they bowed their heads, their pants wet.
“Flynn… no! Flynn, I was wrong, please spare my life, I’m willing to serve by your side for life, as a dog! A dog groveling at your feet!”
At this moment, where was Maximo’s grandeur as a Grandmaster, where was his domineering presence as the king of Niarak’s underworld?
Maximo banged his head hard, blood streaming down his face.
If only Flynn would spare his life, he was willing to crawl before him forever.
“A dog?”
“Do you deserve to be?”
Flynn, expressionless, struck out with a palm.
“Bang!”
Maximo’s crown of the head took the hit, and he instantly turned into a mist of blood, his blood spraying like bullets, hitting Braiden in the face.
“Buzz…”
Braiden’s heart contracted sharply, his eyes wide open, as blood slid down his cheeks, his soul shattered.
With a casual palm, Flynn directly annihilated a Grandmaster!
Maximo hadn’t lied, even seven Grandmasters couldn’t match Flynn!
After doing all this, Flynn turned to look at Braiden and said indifferently, “Now you can answer a few questions for me.”
