"Great Priest?"

The crowd was puzzled, unfamiliar with this title within the divine hierarchy.

Li Qingming laughed and curled his lip in disdain, "Since when did the gods of Mount Olympus start choosing inferior half-goat men to be priests? Stop flattering yourself!"

The color drained from the half-man's face. Initially hesitating whether to expel these outsiders suspected from Technology Mysterious City, Li Qingming's words had utterly ignited his fury. Coupled with some unknown reasons, the half-goat man was enraged. He raised his scepter, embedded with a red gemstone, pointed forward, and declared: "I, Oxu, in the name of the Great Priest, swear that you low-class people will all be annihilated!"

"Oh, just with these Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals?" Li Qingming swept a glance over the centaurs whose cultivation only reached the realm of Taiyin Golden Immortal, and he burst into laughter.

"Damn you, you'll pay for your arrogance! Divine Slaves, the Eternal Flame of the Hexagram!" Oxu, the half-goat man, raised his scepter towards heaven, and a golden Holy Flame sprang forth from the red gemstone on the top of the scepter, forming into a huge, shining Hexagram in mid-air.

Tens of thousands of centaurs began to move, instinctively dividing into six groups, each taking its place at the six points of the Hexagram, leaving the center blank as a hexagonal space, encircling Li Qingming and his companions.

Moreover, they each held a red stone in their hands, from which immense Leaving Fire energy burst forth, pouring into the Hexagram.

The red Hexagram, as if pushed by an irresistible force, began to compress inwards. The dust particles floating in the surrounding air started to revolve quickly around the Hexagram, the temperature rising higher and higher, with red flames faintly emerging from the center of the hot Hexagram.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, when the pressure within the Hexagram reached its limit, the central hexagon exploded and collapsed. A colossal column of air burst forth from the center, piercing through Heaven and Earth.

Then, vast black flames surged from the column, engulfing Heaven and Earth, and swallowing Li Qingming and his companions.

"Be annihilated, you low-class people!" The half-goat man shouted wildly from his chariot, his eyes suddenly flashing with a golden glow.

These pitch-black flames, called Burning Sky Flames, were terrifying enough to have severely injured Zeus, King of Gods, in times past. He did not believe that these few lowly people who arrived in Central Heaven World through technology had the same formidable abilities as Zeus.

But what was the reality? The reality was that this half-goat man was in for a tragedy!

Amidst the blazing flames, Li Qingming and others stood within the protective shield of the Qiankun Tripod, curiously watching the surging intense flames outside the shield.

"Elder Brother, what exactly is going on?" Long Xuhu was somewhat puzzled by Li Qingming's earlier words, "What's Mount Olympus? What gods? Have you been to the Titan World before?"

Li Qingming smiled and looked towards Li Qingquan, who was still frowning, "Xiao Er, does it ring a bell?"

"Titan World, Mount Olympus, it sounds so familiar!" Li Qingquan, rubbing the back of his head, suddenly had a flash of realization, "Brother, I remember now! Back in the Ancestral Witch Hall, that unfortunate Hongyun was possessed by a guy named Poseidon. Isn't that guy some Sea God from the Titan World?"

Li Qingming nodded, "That's right, the very same Titan World he belongs to! I wonder if that fellow has made it to be the King of Gods by now."

"Why are we wasting time here? We can just grab someone to interrogate and find out!" Man Niu, rubbing his budding hairy head, stood up, "I'll go disperse this nonsense flame outside! What kind of thing is this, it can't even burn the edges of our clothes, and yet it has the audacity to show itself!"

Li Qingming pondered briefly, "Man Niu, after you disperse the flames, seize the half-goat man on the chariot. As the Great Priest of the Fire God, he should know a lot!"

"Okay, Brother Li!" Man Niu nodded and stepped out from the protective shield cast by the Qiankun Tripod.

The sky was ablaze with black flames burning fiercely, but compared to the flames of the Fire Feather Origin Realm, they were not just a notch inferior.

"Really, how embarrassing to show off such meager energy!" Man Niu stood amid the flames, letting the black fire entwine around him.

"Damn it, perish!" Man Niu frowned as he watched the flames crawl up his leg and began to change the Seal Formation in his hands. Tao Runes, like tiny tadpoles, fluttered and swam through the Void, eventually forming a semicircular arc in front of him.

With control over the semicircular arc, he made a gentle slash across the Void in front of him.

"Boom!"

A dazzling light burst forth from the Hexagram, ripping through the Cangqiong, and the entire southern hemisphere of Hephaestus Temple shook violently. The world of flames began to quiver violently as if facing the end, shattering the Void and breaking the Hexagram into dozens of pieces that fell from the sky, turning into red dust, dissipating in this world.

In the temple of Hephaestus, the fire god Hephaestus suddenly raised his head, a look of surprise and unspeakable anger appearing on his exceedingly ugly face.

"Boom!"

With a light stamp on the ground, his burly body suddenly burst into deep blue flames, the pressure of an Early Quasi-Saint making him truly resemble a heavenly god.

He waved his hand towards the heavenly vault, a brilliant blue firework transforming into a towering pillar that shot towards the firmament, exploding in the sky into a dazzling display of fireworks.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the clear sky became cloaked with dense clouds, and a low dragon roar sounded. Rolling dark clouds filled the sky, while Hephaestus himself shot up, flying onto the back of the gigantic dragon as big as a mountain!

A dragon? Yes, it was a giant dragon with crimson scales!

Its body spanned over seventy feet, with enormous dragon wings casting a shadow upon the land. It had antlers on its head, whiskers at the sides of its mouth and under its chin, fluttering in the breeze.

Its entire body was covered with crimson scales. Its forelimbs, thick and powerful, with each set of dragon claws being dozens of feet in size. The giant dragon twisted slightly in the air. A pair of blood-red wings unfurled, and with all limbs outstretched, it began to violently flap.

The wind caused by its wings fiercely blew, and the scorching breath from its mouth made the void itself start to crack and dry out.

"Damn it! How dare you run wild in my territory. I really want to see what the people of the Technology Mysterious City are capable of!" Hephaestus cursed furiously, his right hand shaping the air, a deep blue flame forming a thick and long dragon spear in his grasp, pointing ahead with the spear.

The flaming dragon, beating its vast wings, carried Hephaestus's body flying southward towards the southern hemisphere.

...

At this moment, within the southern hemisphere.

The half-goat man Oxu watched on in inexplicable horror at the immense crack in the sky and turned to flee without a second thought.

The barbarous Man Niu clearly saw, and wouldn't let his prey escape so easily.

He charged violently towards the silver carriage, a golden palm morphing into an overwhelming handprint, reaching out to grasp Oxu.

Feeling the chilling breath upon his neck, Oxu was shocked and filled with nerve-wracking fear. He frantically commanded the centaurs behind him, shouting in terror: "Block! Block him for me... Stop him..."

The centaur divine slaves, having been born into a slavery contract with Hephaestus, were forced to obey the commands of Hephaestus and his authorized divine priests.

"Hiss~~~"

They all let out a long cry, drawing red bows from their backs; the fiery red arrows, in the moment of them crouching lightly, quietly appeared on the bowstrings, emitting dazzling brilliance.

Centaur warriors are inherently skilled archers, possessing magical sensitivity, sharp eyes, and the strength to bear a thousand pounds. Thus, they are destined to become excellent shooters.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Loosening the bowstring lightly, the blood-red magic arrows shot out like lightning, bursting with such intense brilliance, that the hot air tore the void into cracks.

However, this was merely the start, as they tirelessly drew their bowstrings, thousands of arrows coloring the firmament red, furiously firing towards the golden handprint.

"Pfft!"

Flame arrows met the handprint, the size of a grinding plate, like an egg against a stone, with only a soft "pfft" sound, stirring no other ripples.

The big handprint continued its steady, unwavering advance.

"Run, run!" The half-goat man Oxu panicked completely, leaping down from the carriage, sprinting madly with his short legs, in an attempt to escape.

"Escaping? Can you really escape?" Man Niu laughed coldly and made the huge hand accelerate suddenly.

"Whoosh!"

The golden hand effortlessly caught Oxu by the neck, lifting him up like a little chick.

"No, no... save me, master, save me..." Oxu kicked wildly in fear, but with only the cultivation of an Early Stage Daluo Golden Immortal, he had no chance of resisting or escaping against a Mid-stage Sub-Saint like Man Niu.

However, the inherently careless Man Niu failed to notice a sinister glint of golden killing intent flashing deep within the petrified eyes of Oxu.
