Intervention

"Act against you?"

Hearing the girl state her threat, Tatsuya's eyes turned weird. It seemed that the Divine Realm practitioner before him had misunderstood his intention. If he had such plan, these two individuals would have longed vanished from this universe. However, that is not the case.

"I'm only here to ask a few important questions."

Tatsuya slowly said his purpose of confronting these two people. In the first place, he wouldn't even bother to make an enemy against a person who currently possesses multiple Heavenly Profound Treasure. It would only bring more trouble to offend someone of that capability, as Tatsuya already has too many enemies in this planet.

"Do you think this Princess will bother to answer the cries of commoners?"

The red-haired girl, arrogantly hovered in the air like a god overlooking the mortal world. She seriously gazed at Tatsuya, however a hint of disdain could be traced within her clear eyes. Not a thread of willingness could be found within her stature, opting Tatsuya to feel helpless.

"It's only a few ques-"

"Don't bother mortal. You should be thankful that I even went and listened to your proposal."

Tatsuya tried to persuade the Divine Realm practitioner before him. After all, the questions that he is trying to ask is about the Divine Realm. Even his Elemental Sight wouldn't be able to read the memories of people. What he's trying to ask is about the existence of the Four Divine Beasts. He just wanted to know if the person before him is aware of their existence.

But, when he was flatly refused by the arrogant girl before him, even his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Chu Xin who has been carefully listening to their conversation, is already on the verge of having her anger bursting out. Her face had already darkened in displeasure, as she felt annoyed by the girl's haughty behavior.

"Who do you think you are, to disrespectfully talk to big brother Tatsuya?!"

Chu Xin's anger finally erupted like a raging volcano, as her profound energy appeared in the air. She glared at the hovering girl with killing intent flashing within her eyes. Even Tatsuya felt shocked by her sudden outburst, but a flow of warmth appeared on his heart. To think that she would be angry because of him, made Tatsuya thankful.

"I should say the same to you, brat! How dare you speak against this Princess? Hmph."

The girl who's been calling herself a Princess, glared at Chu Xin without any hesitation. Killing intent from both sides sparked as if there's an ongoing battle. But, it was obvious who was in advantage. The killing intent from the red-haired girl is a thousand times more deadly compared to Chu Xin's.

Everything happened in just a single moment, as Chu Xin couldn't help but feel her insides hurt. She vomited blood out of her mouth, while weakness get a better of her. She felt dizzy and confused by her current state, leading to her figure slowly swaying downwards.

The Divine Realm practitioner didn't even hold back against Chu Xin, completely overpowering her in terms of killing intent. Indeed, Chu Xin wouldn't be a match against the red-haired girl. After all, Chu Xin had just begun to embark on her own path, slaying only a handful of people blocking her way.

Tatsuya silently caught Chu Xin's figure, as there was only calmness present within his figure. But, the Scarlet Dragon behind him begun to visibly tremble in fear and trepidation. It could sense something terrifying emerging beneath of Tatsuya's body, rendering its soul completely in powerlessness. The Scarlet Dragon knew that the hovering girl before them, had completely offended Tatsuya's reverse scale.

"Even though you are nothing but a soul at the moment, you are still a Divine Realm practitioner and you did not even bother to hold back against Xin'er."

"Hmph. As if I'll let some commoner speak against me in such a rude way."

The red-haired hovering in the sky sneered, while disdainfully scanning Chu Xin's unconscious figure. She snorted, unrestrainedly showing her contempt to the people before her. Even though, Tatsuya is already at a level Fifth Stage of Earth Profound Realm, the red-haired girl could sense an even deeper power within him. But even then, this is not enough to make the Divine Realm practitioner to look at him in equal terms.

"Courting death!"

Tatsuya's face had completely darkened, while an otherworldly amount of killing intent oozed out of his figure. His blue eyes gleamed brightly, showing its absolute superiority over everything. He glared at the red-haired girl with visible anger flashing within his eyes.

*Boom!*

The red-haired girl widened her eyes in shock and disbelief, together with her companion who can't believe what's happening before them. The girl lost every strength she has, powerlessly falling from the sky and dropping into the ground, unable to struggle even a little bit. The young man beside her already fainted because of the unbelievable pressure wrapped around them.

"You bastard… Let go of this Princess!"

The red-haired girl suddenly burst in strength, unwilling to yield against Tatsuya's power. An otherworldly aura suddenly collided with Tatsuya's aura, as the Divine Realm practitioner slowly stood up from the ground with killing intent oozing out of her eyes.

"You dare make this Princess kneel?! You are courting death!"

*Boom!*

An aura even purer compared to Tatsuya's, appeared and materialized in the air. This aura solidified the air around the whole Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, rendering every beast immobile, not even the Scarlet Dragon could move.

"If you possessed your real strength, I surely won't be a match against you. But you could only currently release an aura of Monarch."

"What, you think your mere Earth Profound Realm aura can contend against mine? Let me see what trump card you have! Even if this Princess sacrifices a bit of her soul essence, I'll surely kill all of you!"

The red-haired girl looked down on Tatsuya's figure, not even retreating in a slightest. She snorted, expressing her contempt directed at Tatsuya. She thought that this young man before her is too overconfident of his strength. Even if he possessed some trump cards, it shouldn't be enough to shock her who already knew almost everything in this material world.

"You're the one who is overconfident…"

Suddenly, something unbelievable happened. The red-haired girl stumbled, as she felt something frightening appear in the air. Her eyes widened in shock and fear, while confirming the trepidation of her very being.

*Rumble!*

Millions of ancient texts floated across the sky and covered the whole Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. This formation diagram then solidified and isolated the whole mountain range from the outside world. The scale of this formation is grandiose compared to Tatsuya's previous deployments.

The sky turned black, not a thread of Sun's rays passed through this frightening clouds. Thunder flashed everything, followed by a continuous sound of rumbles. The air retreated from Tatsuya's figure, as if afraid of his existence.

Tatsuya's eyes gleamed in the darkness, as blue-lightning begun to appear around him. These lightning jumped around his body, looking happy that it has finally been unleashed. It looked ordinary, just like the lightning roaring in a rainy day. However, the space distorted and fractured nonstop before the presence of these lightning.

"That's impossible! How could you control the Divine Tribulation Lightning?!"

The red-haired girl fearfully shouted her disbelief over Tatsuya's control on the blue lightning. If before, she didn't take Tatsuya seriously, now even if she wanted to not take Tatsuya seriously, she would be forced to do so because of the earth-shattering presence of these lightning before her.

She continued to struggle against the pressure that Tatsuya exerted on her. However, at her current state, it is impossible to struggle against the Divine Lightning pressure. Even if she was at her full strength, struggling against the presence of this mighty lightning would have been a problem.

"You can still speak?"

Tatsuya felt amazed that the Divine Realm practitioner before him could still speak her thoughts. This confirmed that the people of the Divine Realm is really exceptional compared to the habitants of this planet. The fact that he's now making such figure kneel before him, did not make him regret his decision. She started it, and Tatsuya will finish it!

*Bboom!*

Suddenly, the red-haired girl lost every words she could muster. She widened her eyes, as she closely watched the blue lightning around Tatsuya, morphed into a reddish color. She felt that she couldn't comprehend what's happening and what's not anymore.

The red lightning around Tatsuya completely demolished the space continuum around him. The Scarlet Dragon howled in despair inwardly, but could not do anything about the current situation. It could feel it's every fiber of being getting distorted within the space-less continuum. But, Tatsuya seemed to have sensed its cry of plea, as Tatsuya deployed a formation diagram that allowed the Scarlet Dragon to remain alive.

*Thud.Thud.Thud*

Tatsuya slowly walked and approached the red-haired girl. Every step of his ruptured the Divine Realm practitioner's eardrums. The red lightning around his body jumped around, completely prepared to devour even the planet itself.

The moment Tatsuya stood before the red-haired girl, he unrestrainedly kicked the Divine Realm practitioner's head. Not a trace of hesitation and regret could be traced within his eyes, completely prepared to offend even the Jade Emperor if they dared to harm someone dear to him.

*Boom!*

Instantly, the red-haired girl flew off like a meteor with an unexplained speed. She felt extremely angry by the fact that this young man just kicked her head like some trash. However, she couldn't do anything about it, but endure the strong pain that assaulted her head.

Even if she's just a soul, Tatsuya could still interact with her soul body because of the unique properties of his Divine Lightning. Even an invisible existence could be erased by his lightning, what's more an obvious soul body that still has its own consciousness.

*Bang!*

While the red-haired girl's body was flying across the space-less continuum, Tatsuya suddenly teleported above her body. He stomped the girl's head like some toy, completely unleashing his godly physical strength. The red-haired girl's trajectory changed and went downwards.

Tatsuya's physical strength could be said godly because of the existence of Primal Origin Energy within his fibers. When he absorbed the Primal Origin Energy within his body, every organ within his body evolved because of the life essence present in the Primal Origin Energy.

With his physical strength, he could directly smash apart a Sky Profound Realm cultivator into some squashed potato. Hitting an Emperor Profound Realm with just strength, would render that unlucky person with heavy injuries beyond saving. That's how powerful his physical is, but Tatsuya did not only use that, but he also added profound energy and Divine Lightning energy into his attack which made it more deadly.

*Thud!*

Tatsuya appeared like a ghost before the red-haired girl. Before the girl even lost the momentum of the impact, Tatsuya had already appeared and grabbed her head. The red-haired girl glared at Tatsuya with endless hatred and humiliation. It seems that both of them couldn't exist at the same sky.

"Where do people from this planet go after their ascension?"

"…"

The red-haired girl did not speak, and just glared at Tatsuya with hatred. A sneer even formed within her face, mocking Tatsuya completely. She isn't willing to share any information to the young man before her, who humiliated her like some pig.

"Netherworld Udumbara Flower…"

"How…?"

The red-haired girl widened her eyes in surprise and disbelief, feeling very skeptical by the fact that this young man before her knew what she currently needs. After all, the faster she got the information where such flower exist, the faster she could regain her body. But, she still felt somewhat suspicious because of her enmity with this man.

"One of the three items that someone needs to form a new divine body… I think you needs it, right?"

"…"

Tatsuya indifferently asked the red-haired girl within his grasp. He stared at the Divine Realm practitioner without an ounce of pity that she lost her divine body because of a very potent poison that could poison even the gods.

"What do you want?"

The Divine Realm practitioner instantly asked Tatsuya about his purpose. After all, you wouldn't just say the location of the Nertherworld Udumbara Flower to some stranger who even attempted to kill your dear companion.

"Do you really think that you're in the position to bargain?"

Tatsuya smiled at her response, feeling very amused by her foolishness. He currently controls her life and death, just a thought from him could erase this soul body from existence. Furthermore, the red-haired girl before her, couldn't even resist against his current strength.

He did not even need to use the Divine Lightning Art, as just the pressure from his Divine Lightning energy could plummet her into the ground. After all, the Divine Lightning energy that his lightning bead produces is purer than any kind of lightning that exists within this universe.

He could momentarily boost the Divine Lightning energy within his body through his will. Right now, he could only use the blue and red lightning energy within his body. But, he could actually use an even more powerful lightning if he already possessed enough strength to control it.

"You… If I possessed my real strength, I would have killed you a thousand times already."

"But, you are powerless right now, aren't you? You can't even resist the power of this mortal."

The red-haired girl's face turned red because of her anger. She felt very humiliated that this young man before her that could do as he please. She couldn't help but recall the group of cultivators who ambushed her with the Absolute God Slaying Poison, which resulted into her current sorry state.

"Once a human ascends from whatever lower realm they came; they will teleport into the Divine Martial Realm."

"I see… Then, is the 'Four Divine Beasts' familiar with you?"

Since, the red-haired girl finally yielded to Tatsuya's pressure, he finally received what he wanted to ask from the Divine Realm practitioner. Even though, he can use his Elemental Sight to access the Information Dimension, there are some things that he couldn't get information from.

The thing that guides the people to the upper realms are locked away inside the Quintessential Dimension, thus Tatsuya couldn't access the information where the humans would teleport in their ascension. He's not arrogant, but he's sure that he will ascend within a few years.

"Four Divine Beasts?"

Hearing such name, the red-haired girl fell into deep thought. It was the first time that she had heard of such grandiose name. Even the Divine Beasts that once possessed absolute monarchy over the whole universe didn't had such name. Thus, it made her confuse as to why this young man before her asked such thing.

"I see… Then, in what realm did you came from?"

"…"

When the Divine Realm practitioner heard his question, she felt quite complicated because of Tatsuya's eyes. She couldn't sense any single emotion within his eyes, only indifference and absolute calmness. She can't comprehend how could this young man before her possess such disposition. The Divine Tribulation Lightning already shocked her to the core, and now observing the young man before her carefully, she could sense an unfathomable cloud of mysterious around Tatsuya.

"If you think of running away after killing me, you can only dream about it! Even if my relationship with father is not good, he won't let this slide. My people will come and kill you."

"…"

Tatsuya did not speak about her statement. He won't even bother to think about the troubles that will come after ultimately killing this girl. After all, she first started it by harming Chu Xin. Furthermore, it's not as if Tatsuya is actually scared. He had already stepped into the Supreme Territory where his mental state already rivalled that of beings that had achieved the level of True God's.

"Hmph. You will die by the hands of the Star God Realm King…"

The red-haired girl sneered, completely unafraid of death. She had already gone through many things, starting with the chase by those group of cultivators that desired to kill her. She wanted to get stronger to kill the man she despised the most, but the way it is now, she will die, without a doubt.

"Then, I don't have any use of-"

*Badum!*

Before Tatsuya even managed to finish his statement, he felt something off and amiss from the formation diagram that he previously deployed. He could feel an astonishing aura directly colliding with the formation diagram, in attempt to barge into the isolated space that he created.

"They're here, huh."

Tatsuya slowly muttered to himself, as he instantly let go off the red-haired girl's head. He grabbed Chu Xin's floating body encased with formation diagram, and directly pulled the Scarlet Dragon into him. He begun to manipulate the space, attempting to teleport outside this enclosed space.

Formation Mastery allowed Tatsuya to do wondrous things. He could directly interfere with the world's laws and rules, by bending it through this mastery. He could create a sun using a formation diagram that would collect origin energies from the void to form a sun. And, he could manipulate the space itself, to teleport even if he's not at that level of strength yet.

Tatsuya did not even bother to look at the red-haired girl. He only locked on her soul, to monitor her location, through his divine sense. But, he knew that it will only work temporarily. He couldn't use the Elemental Sight on her soul body because it's beyond its capabilities. If he had access to the Quintessential Dimension, he could directly erase her soul body from the world, but that is currently not the case.

Even the young man that possessed multiple Heavenly Profound Treasure is already at his death door. Tatsuya then quickly approached his sickly looking body, and directly snatched the necklace on the man. He knew that this silver necklace is actually a Heavenly Profound Treasure, and Tatsuya could spend his time on analyzing it.

But, as he's running out of time, he could feel the formation diagram slowly cracking apart because of the formidable strength of the divine beasts outside this enclosed space. He did not have any more time to snatch the other Heavenly Profound Treasure within the young man's left palm.

Tatsuya knew that he could spend time in researching the Heavenly Profound Treasure, and it might help him discover the way to access the Quintessential Realm. However, now that he didn't have any time, he could only snatch the necklace from the young man. Even scanning the Evil God's Spiritual Veins would take too much time.

He deployed a formation diagram and enclosed the necklace in a sealed space, rendering it unable to escape from his grasp if ever it tried to run away from his control. He then imprinted his divine sense on the young man's soul, so that he could monitor the young man's location. Even then, he deemed that it would only work for a few months before getting wiped by the red-haired girl.

"Space Formation Diagram, Engage."

*Woosh*

Suddenly, a whitish light covered Tatsuya's bodies, together with the Scarlet Dragon and Chu Xin's. This whitish body emitted an aura of space, as if it is the Sovereign of Space.

The Divine Realm practitioner could only glare at Tatsuya's figure, because she couldn't even move a little bit. She knew that she had sustained too many injuries that directly affected her soul strength. She even used up a little bit of her soul essence that resulted to a backlash.

"This Princess promises that I will kill you!"

The red-haired girl shouted towards Tatsuya's vanishing figure with hatred and killing intent. It seems that her hatred towards Tatsuya had reached an extreme level.

The moment Tatsuya and his companions vanished from the enclosed space, the formation diagram that covered the whole Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range had already broken apart into pieces. The sky returned to normal, as the space also healed itself.

The red-haired girl had longed vanished within the material world, directly entering the treasure where she once resided. She didn't bother to hide her aura away, because she knew that the people who arrived are beings she won't be able to hide away from. Even then, residing within the treasure could actually help her to recuperate her injuries faster.

Out of nowhere, a gigantic shadow descended beside the sickly-looking young man's figure. It was a dragon with majestic wings. The dragon emanated a very powerful aura that shook even the skies.

The dragon scanned the surroundings and instantly saw the sickly-looking young man who owned a Heavenly Profound Treasure. Without speaking anything, the dragon just grabbed the young man and flew away from the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range with extreme speed.

Several shadows followed the dragon, as if they are discussing something. All of them possessed a majestic aura that could shook the heavens and earth. This shadows are cautiously looking around, carefully locating and tracing the source of that unparalleled Devil aura that covered the whole planet.

Even then, they couldn't trace the source of that aura. Their last trail was the young man that they found in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range…
