Chapter 4904

Soon, a bright light appeared before everyone’s eyes. Kai was filled with excitement!

He thought he was finally about to escape this desolate place. Ever since arriving in the heavens, he had been trapped in a cage—without even getting a glimpse of the world around him!

Kai was eager to see what the heavens truly looked like.

After just a few breaths, a flash of white light burst before their eyes, and suddenly, their feet touched solid ground!

This time, they were standing firm—no longer suspended in the air.

Kai looked around, and his gaze quickly sharpened. His expression darkened.

They hadn’t left the cage and entered the vast heavenly lands as he had hoped. Instead, they had arrived inside a palace!

The palace was surrounded by oil lamps, each flame flickering like little dancing elves.

At the front of the palace stood a high platform—and atop it, a figure sat!

The entire place felt eerie and oppressive, and the figure on the platform radiated a sinister aura.

“This must be the owner of the cage,” Xiu Rui said.

“It must be,” Kai nodded.

“You dared to break free and escape judgment. How bold of you!”

“You haven’t achieved ascension, yet you took a shortcut into the heavens. This defies the heavenly laws. You must be punished.”

A deep, authoritative voice echoed from the platform.

At the same time, an overwhelming pressure descended upon Kai and the others.

“Fuck off! Who do you think you are, punishing people in the name of the heavenly laws?”

Hu Mazi snapped, waving his hand—and the pressure vanished instantly!

“Huh?” came a startled voice from the figure.

“Who are you to judge? If you truly uphold heavenly justice, why do you only punish human cultivators?”

Kai asked coldly, locking eyes with the figure on the high platform.

“I punish whoever I want. What does that have to do with you?”

The figure’s voice was full of disdain, and an even stronger pressure filled the palace.

Hu Mazi was about to curse and strike again, but Kai held him back.

“Master Hu, don’t be hasty. Let me deal with this arrogant fool!”
After speaking, Kai stood still. Suddenly, golden light sparked at his fingertips, and he casually pointed forward.

“Finger of the Immortal…”

Boom!

The moment Kai’s Finger of the Immortal made contact, the pressure exploded instantly!

The entire palace trembled, and the violent energy nearly caused it to collapse!

“You actually know immortal arts?” the figure exclaimed in surprise.

He leapt from the high platform, and at the same time, blood-red sharp blades shot toward Kai!

In an instant, a golden, indestructible aura enveloped Kai. He then drew the Dragon Slashing Sword and began slashing fiercely!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each blade was blocked by Kai and then shattered into powder!

After deflecting the barrage, Kai seized the opportunity. The Dragon Slashing Sword swept forward, unleashing a fierce wave of sword energy that crashed toward the figure!

Xiu Rui stared at Kai in stunned silence, eyes wide with shock.

A cultivator in the first-grade immortal realm—yet the power he displayed was terrifying!

“Interesting.”

Seeing the sword energy approaching, the figure raised his hand, instantly conjuring a shield that blocked the blow!

Kai prepared to strike again, but Hu Mazi shouted, “Stop! You’re not his match!”

It was clear the opponent hadn’t used his full strength, while Kai was already pushing his limits.

The gap in strength was obvious—there was no point in continuing the fight.

Kai’s gaze was cold. He understood this was the heaven, not the mortal realm. Here, anyone who appeared might be far beyond his level!

After all, the power difference was immense. He was still just a cultivator, while that man might have already been an immortal—perhaps even a scattered immortal. Kai couldn’t compare to someone like that.

“You’re the most talented person I’ve encountered in many years,” the figure on the platform said.

“Don’t waste your breath praising me. If you don’t give me a proper explanation today, I’ll destroy your palace and cripple your cultivation!”

Kai replied coldly.

Xiu Rui looked at Kai in disbelief. He couldn’t understand where Kai found the confidence to speak to such a being that way!
