Chapter 42 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Appears - 1

```

Just when all the Supremes had entered the light curtain and received the baptism of the Immortal Path, such a sudden change occurred.

Instantly, the sacred, multicolored aura surrounding the Ascension Platform disappeared completely, replaced by a chilling presence that enveloped the area.

Above the Sky Domain, a terrifying presence suddenly emerged, with a powerful silhouette appearing amidst the clouds.

It was a middle-aged man with grey hair, seated above the clouds, looking down upon the multitude of Supremes below.

His black robe draped down, as if he ruled from above the ninth heavens.

Beside him, the aura of the Immortal Path lingered.

"Who is this?"

"The aura of the Immortal Path... This is an Immortal!"

"Why has an Immortal appeared here? Who are they? What is their purpose?"

Everyone was shocked as they looked at the being above the clouds.

The entity above the clouds looked down indifferently, the corners of his mouth revealing the slightest of cold smirks.
