A shrouded figure, clad in black robes, sat in quiet meditation upon a small, unassuming planet. Suddenly, the man's eyes snapped open, a serene smile gracing his features.
"I've just broken through to the Celestial Lord Realm," he proclaimed, a note of triumph in his voice. "Even though Chen Mo can fight against opponents of the higher realm, the Celestial Realm is so much further than the Immortal Realm. His strength won't help him much when faced with overwhelming power."
The man's expression darkened with a sinister edge as he continued, "Even his laws will be useless against my cheat skill, and if he tries to breakthrough during the fight, it'll just make it easier for me to kill him."
The figure, whose name was Ming Luo, let out a maniacal laugh, reveling in his own scheming. He briefly entertained the notion that he might have overestimated his preparations, but quickly dismissed the thought.
