Chapter 458: Chapter458-Shocking Everyone

The many High God-level experts watching from afar immediately erupted into heated discussion.

"That mysterious expert is probably the strongest person I’ve ever seen in my life."

"My mentor once told me that there are monstrous geniuses who haven’t cultivated for very long, yet possess terrifying opportunities and unimaginable foundations."

"Even while their cultivation realm is still extremely low, they can already kill opponents far above their level."

"I used to think my mentor was exaggerating."

"I never imagined such people actually existed."

"To think there really are experts this terrifying..."

"The opponents that mysterious expert has faced have never been weaker than him in terms of cultivation."

"The Ianser Beast was a peak High God, yet he suppressed it."

"God King Oren was a peak God King, and he was suppressed just as easily."

"Just where is the upper limit of that mysterious expert’s strength?"

"Could it be that only a Sovereign-rank expert could force him to reveal everything he has?"

The surrounding High Gods continued discussing in hushed voices.

The way they looked at John had already begun to change.

Back when John suppressed the Ianser Beast, they had realized that there was something extraordinary about him.

Although the cultivation John displayed was technically at the same level as theirs...

everyone present understood one thing clearly.

They and John no longer existed in the same world.

They might all be High Gods...

but fundamentally, they were no longer beings on the same level.

When facing Tarlon’s experts, they could only lower their heads and behave obediently.

Whatever rules Tarlon established...

they followed.

None of them dared cross the line.

John, however, not only ignored every rule Tarlon had set...

he had openly slaughtered their people right in front of everyone.

He showed absolutely no mercy toward Tarlon.

When ordinary High Gods like them encountered a top-tier existence of the same realm such as the Ianser Beast, they had to retreat far away, terrified of being caught in the aftermath of the battle.

John, meanwhile...

had remained utterly calm.

He suppressed the Ianser Beast with ease.

And when they learned that God King Oren was inside the forbidden zone, they had been terrified.

They didn’t even possess the courage to face him.

Yet John had still defeated God King Oren in an instant...

just as effortlessly as he had dealt with the Ianser Beast.

They understood perfectly well...

although they technically shared the same cultivation realm as John, none of them would ever dare compare themselves to him.

And they understood something else as well.

An existence like John...

was destined to shake the universe.

He was destined to stand at the summit of all living beings.

Meanwhile, they were merely ordinary members among the countless beings of the cosmos.

Some of them had already reached the High God level...

yet might never break through again for the rest of their lives.

For many of them...

becoming a High God was already the greatest achievement they would ever attain.

When they looked at John...

it was like someone still struggling at the starting line looking at a person who had already reached the finish line and was leisurely enjoying the scenery.

Some people’s starting point...

was already someone else’s final destination.

...

"That mysterious expert is incredible."

The girl beside Ivar sighed emotionally.

"If only I had even one-tenth of his strength."

Ivar smiled faintly.

"How do you know the strength he has shown so far is everything he has?"

"Maybe he’s still hiding something."

"What?!"

The girl stared at him in disbelief.

"He can still be hiding his strength after all that?"

She had originally believed that John would lose to God King Oren.

The fact that John had actually defeated him had already far exceeded her expectations.

In her eyes...

John must have used everything he had.

Otherwise, how could a peak High God so effortlessly kill someone a full major realm above him?

Hearing Ivar’s words, she couldn’t help asking,

"No way."

"If even a God King can’t force him to use his full strength..."

"does that mean only a Sovereign-rank expert can make him reveal everything?"

"What else?"

Ivar replied.

"Why do you think I’m still here?"

"Aren’t you staying to watch the show?"

The girl asked suspiciously.

"No."

Ivar smiled slightly.

"I don’t know exactly how strong that mysterious expert is."

"But I do know one thing."

"As long as there is even the slightest fluctuation of laws here, it cannot escape the senses of a Sovereign-rank expert."

"In other words..."

"as long as anything happens here, a Sovereign can know about it."

Ivar’s expression gradually became serious.

"That mysterious expert has already attracted the attention of a Sovereign."

"The founder of Tarlon itself..."

"Sovereign Tarlon."

"Ah!"

The girl suddenly understood.

"So that’s why you’ve stayed until now."

"You’re waiting for a Sovereign to make a move!"

"You’re finally catching on."

Ivar smiled.

"But... that’s a Sovereign!"

The girl could hardly believe it.

"Every Sovereign-rank expert is like an ancient progenitor."

"They are among the very few true supreme existences across the vast cosmos."

"Even an ordinary Sovereign can single-handedly support an entire faction, just like Tarlon."

"A particularly powerful Sovereign could even establish or oversee a medium-sized faction."

"My own Fien Family, for example, has an exceptionally powerful Sovereign supporting us."

"That’s why the influence of the Fien Family extends throughout the entire Redleaf Cosmos!"

The girl—Fiensha—frowned.

"But no matter how powerful that mysterious expert is..."

"even if he can instantly kill an Ianser Beast and suppress God King Oren..."

"could he really fight a Sovereign?"

She didn’t believe John could possibly be that strong.

Fight a Sovereign-rank expert?

That sounded absurd.

"Hmm..."

Ivar suddenly sighed.

"I originally thought exactly the same thing."

"But then I thought about it one step further."

"Hm?"

Fiensha looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

"If even I can figure this out..."

"how could that mysterious expert not know?"

Ivar shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"You mean..."

Fiensha’s eyes widened.

"That mysterious expert also knows Sovereign Tarlon is going to come after him?"

"Exactly."

Ivar nodded.

"He definitely knows."

"But if he knows..."

"why hasn’t he left?"

"With his strength, even if he chose to leave right now, he would still have plenty of time."

"And there’s something else."

Ivar’s eyelids twitched slightly.

"When all those Tarlon experts mysteriously disappeared earlier because of him..."

"doesn’t that mean he already wasn’t taking Sovereign-rank experts seriously?"

"He clearly didn’t care about Sovereign Tarlon at all."

"Otherwise, how could someone who truly feared Sovereigns dare casually slaughter Tarlon’s underlings?"

"I understand!"

Fiensha suddenly exclaimed.

"You mean that mysterious expert had already considered the consequences before he attacked!"

"He already knew Sovereign Tarlon might come for revenge."

"And yet he still acted."

"So from the very beginning..."

"he was never afraid of a Sovereign-rank expert."

"In that case, there’s naturally no reason for him to leave now either."

Fiensha paused, then asked in disbelief,

"If he dares completely disregard a Sovereign-rank expert..."

"doesn’t that mean he must actually have some confidence in dealing with one?"
