Open up and break into another world

Thunder Annihilation Pavilion.

Reception Hall.

Elder Thunderbone solemnly received Xu Ming.

Xu Ming's instant kill of the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain had already demonstrated the strength of a "Peak Upper Heavenly Supreme!" With such strength, even compared to the current Pavilion Master of the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, he probably wasn't far off; of course, Elder Thunderbone had to receive him solemnly.

As for Fang Ping and other personal disciples who came with Xu Ming, as well as the other Heavenly Supremes, they were not qualified to appear here.

Strength determines treatment!

"Brother Wolong!" Elder Thunderbone said solemnly, "Regarding Ke Feng's matter, our Thunder Annihilation Pavilion will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Ke Feng and Xu Ming had only a brief interaction, but Ke Feng had threatened Xu Ming more than once. If Xu Ming were just a Middle Heavenly Supreme, it wouldn't be a big deal; but, Xu Ming had demonstrated the strength of a "Peak Upper Heavenly Supreme," which made it a big deal!

If they didn't give Xu Ming a satisfactory explanation, the entire Thunder Annihilation Pavilion wouldn't be at ease.

"Mm!" Xu Ming nodded casually. In his eyes now, Ke Feng was just a weak ant; naturally, he didn't care what kind of end Ke Feng would meet. However, since Elder Thunderbone had already said such words, Ke Feng's end would definitely not be good.

At this time, Elder Thunderbone said again: "Our Thunder Annihilation Pavilion's Pavilion Master, as well as the other elders, have learned of your situation and are on their way back; I'll chat with you for a while first!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming said with some surprise, "The entire Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, only you are an Upper Heavenly Supreme right now?"

Xu Ming's implication was: Aren't you afraid that someone will invade the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion?

Elder Thunderbone naturally understood Xu Ming's meaning, and smiled: "Right now, in the entire Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, I am indeed the only Upper Heavenly Supreme; moreover, my strength among the Upper Heavenly Supremes is not considered very strong! However…absolutely no one dares to attack our Thunder Annihilation Pavilion! The Thunderstorm surrounding our Thunder Annihilation Pavilion should not be underestimated; with me controlling the guardian formation, and drawing upon the power of the Thunderstorm, even a Great Lord existence would not dare to easily invade our Thunder Annihilation Pavilion! As for Upper Heavenly Supremes, I dare say, however many come, that many will die!"

It was no wonder Elder Thunderbone was so confident. One had to know that the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion had existed from the "First Universe Era" until the current "Fifth Universe Era." If their guardian formation wasn't strong enough, they would have probably perished long ago.

"The outer Thunderstorm is indeed powerful!" Xu Ming also said.

"The Kunpeng Clan left behind by the Kunpeng Great Lord?" Xu Ming asked.

Elder Thunderbone smiled and said: "The Kunpeng Clan was indeed created by the Kunpeng Great Lord! However…the Kunpeng Great Lord never regarded the Kunpeng Clan as his own clan!"

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Haha! It seems, Brother Wolong, you don't know the secrets within!" Elder Thunderbone laughed, "Since I have time now, I'll explain it to you properly!"

"Oh? There are secrets within?" Xu Ming also became interested.

"Brother Wolong, the Kunpeng Great Lord is such a great existence, surely you are aware of that?" Elder Thunderbone said.

Elder Thunderbone was able to control the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion's guardian formation, so he was definitely a very experienced elder in the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion. In fact, as early as the First Universe Era, when the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion dominated the entire Thunder Annihilation Domain, Elder Thunderbone was already an elder of the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion!

Moreover, Elder Thunderbone had personally witnessed the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion being torn apart by the Kunpeng Great Lord; even the several Great Lords within the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion had been killed by the Kunpeng Great Lord. Logically speaking, Elder Thunderbone should hate the Kunpeng Great Lord very much; but now, Xu Ming found that Elder Thunderbone didn't seem to have much hatred, but was instead full of respect for the Kunpeng Great Lord, even using "great" to describe him.

In fact, although Elder Thunderbone hated the Kunpeng Great Lord, he was even more in awe of the Kunpeng Great Lord's strength!

This was respect for strength!

"The Kunpeng Great Lord is the most powerful existence in the five Universe Eras! Among the many Great Lord existences, the only one who can compare with the Kunpeng Great Lord is the Eternal Great Lord!" Elder Thunderbone said with great respect.

"But—" Elder Thunderbone changed the subject and said, "Have you noticed that both the Kunpeng Great Lord and the Eternal Great Lord are no longer in the True Universe; however, the Eternal Temple is still strong, still dominating the entire Eternal Domain, while in comparison, the Kunpeng Clan's power is already quite miserable!"

Of course, the Kunpeng Clan was still a top force in the True Universe! The reason why Elder Thunderbone said "quite miserable" was in comparison to the Eternal Temple and the Kunpeng Clan's former strength.

Xu Ming noticed a point in Elder Thunderbone's words: Both the Kunpeng Great Lord and the Eternal Great Lord are no longer in the True Universe!

"Not in the True Universe?" Xu Ming couldn't help but wonder, thinking to himself, "Then, where have the Kunpeng Great Lord and the Eternal Great Lord gone now? Could it be…beyond the True Universe, there is an even wider world?"

At this time, Elder Thunderbone asked with a smile again: "Do you know why the Kunpeng Clan's power is now quite miserable?"

"Because…" Xu Ming thought for a moment, and said, "The Kunpeng Great Lord left early, while the Eternal Great Lord left late!"

Xu Ming's words also made sense. One had to know that the Kunpeng Great Lord had not appeared in the True Universe since the early Third Universe Era; while the Eternal Great Lord had only disappeared in the early Fifth Universe Era.

The Kunpeng Great Lord left for too long, so the Kunpeng Clan would naturally decline more severely.

"That is also a reason, but not the main one!" Elder Thunderbone said, "The main reason is…the Eternal Great Lord valued the Eternal Temple very much. Before leaving, he left many means in the Eternal Temple; relying on those means left by the Eternal Great Lord, at least before the end of the Fifth Universe Era, absolutely no great power can threaten the Eternal Temple! But—the Kunpeng Great Lord didn't value the Kunpeng Clan at all. In fact, none of the treasures and inheritances he left behind were left within the Kunpeng Clan!"

"Eh?" Hearing this, Xu Ming became even more puzzled—why was the Kunpeng Great Lord so bad to the Kunpeng Clan? The more he listened, the more he felt like he was a "stepmother."

And the Eternal Great Lord's treatment of the Eternal Temple felt like that of a "biological mother."

"Actually, it's very simple…" Elder Thunderbone continued, "The entire Kunpeng Clan is equivalent to the Kunpeng Great Lord's slave clan! Since it is a slave clan, the Kunpeng Great Lord naturally doesn't need to be good to them, nor does he need to leave them any treasures or inheritances!"
