Chapter 607: This is a Ruthless Person

The online forums had erupted into a frenzy, a boiling cauldron of activity.

"An ancient forbidden zone exists, and the Lord of Reincarnation has been captured alive!"

As soon as this statement appeared, the post was swarmed with people, capitalizing on the current hot topic. Screenshots, countless images accompanied by text descriptions, were rapidly uploaded.

The reason was simple: the developments had far exceeded everyone's expectations. As the screenshots were pieced together, the scene inside the tavern left everyone utterly silent. In the images, the two treant-like beings sat in the tavern, visibly stunned, their expressions clearly asking: "What kind of monsters are these?" Meanwhile, two other powerful entities sat at a table, conversing continuously, their words concealing a deadly intent.

Initially, everyone listened with great interest, until...

When that particular sentence was uttered, everyone felt their minds shatter. A sudden lightning bolt seemed to strike their brains, sending shivers down their spines and a sense of dread. That line was incredibly impactful! They immediately realized that the preceding conversation had been a mere test! This was a genuine discovery of the opponent's true identity, meticulously pinpointing their location. Such cunning, such patience... Just thinking about it sent shivers down their spines.

Upon seeing this, all the netizens felt their excitement truly ignite.

"This gossip is so juicy!""Oh my goodness!""A stroke of genius! This strategy is too brilliant!""What kind of divine confrontation is this? To pinpoint the opponent's true form amidst a vast crowd!""This is a true game between powerful individuals, the passion of real men!""The Lord of Reincarnation, who had previously hidden his identity in the Underworld and whose face couldn't be seen, turns out to be quite handsome!"

Everyone was in heated discussion, completely bewildered. This was so captivating! This was what true ancient power looked like, with wisdom bordering on demonic. Soon, more screenshots were posted, and everyone became completely thrilled, preparing their snacks to continue watching with relish. Was this going to be a blockbuster movie?

Next, they witnessed the distinct and vivid personality of the Lord of Mount You: a logician, a miracle-worker, someone with maxed-out rhetorical skills, who effortlessly swayed the various Celestial Emperors in the entire tea house. He directly analyzed:

"Only the living can keep secrets.""The Lord of Reincarnation is not omnipotent.""Miracles are low-probability events."

His discourse covered a wide range of topics, and many didn't quite grasp it, feeling it was useless and unrelated. However, some astute individuals pondered his words, repeating them multiple times to understand the underlying subtle guidance. This was a psychological suggestion: seemingly unrelated analyses that, in reality, gradually diminished the Celestial Emperors' fear, hinting that their enemy was not invincible, and subtly encouraging them to struggle, hesitate, and ultimately resist.

What kind of genius is this? Everyone felt a mix of admiration and curiosity.

"His show of bravado was incredibly successful, and he didn't even get killed for it!"

A veteran troll and long-time hater of online content exclaimed: "This powerful being from an ancient forbidden zone is so realistic! Unlike those brainless movies and novels where ancient monsters who've lived for hundreds or thousands of years act like some idiotic teenager, immediately provoking, courting death, and getting instantly humiliated. That's completely unrealistic! That's why I always flood the comment sections with my criticism!"

"Everyone, take notes! This is how you properly assert your dominance.""I'm utterly convinced! The ancient forbidden zones really do harbor ancient ruthless individuals!""Everyone, listen to my analysis. This is the true 'King of Swagger,' a genuine powerhouse. Personally, I think it can be summarized as the 'Mount You Swagger Law': The strong display their prowess to the stronger; the weak display their prowess to the weaker!"

Everyone: ???

They pondered this deeply and immediately exclaimed that it made perfect sense. Is it interesting for rich, handsome men to drive luxury cars and show off to the poor? Anyone could do that. Is it interesting for fantasy protagonists, blessed with cheat abilities, to constantly flaunt their advantages to stronger individuals? Anyone can achieve that. The strong showing off to the weak poses no challenge at all; they just bully those weaker than themselves. What's there to brag about?

But this situation is different! The strong showing off to the *even stronger* is both a highly difficult technique and an extremely terrifying challenge! Take the Lord of Mount You, for example. He is the true 'King of Swagger.' He's clearly very weak right now, not even fully recovered, only at the fifth stage. Yet, he dares to show off directly in front of the strongest Emperor in existence, the supreme being who controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

This is not something an ordinary person could pull off. Try finding someone else who could do this! This is true skill, true style! True mastery! True swagger!

"Holy cow! After that analysis, it's absolutely brilliant!""This is truly next-level!""Master Swagger King, please accept me as your disciple!""Master! I want to get a Peppa Pig tattoo, ride my little electric scooter, and show off in front of a Rolls-Royce! I want to be strong and show off to the even stronger!"

The screen instantly erupted with a barrage of comments.

"These idiots are spouting such strange theories," some serious players muttered, speechless. "Showing off—what a vulgar term, completely lacking in elegance! This is clearly the Lord of Mount You, calculating everything flawlessly. But it must be said, this move was truly astonishing!"

"Everyone, stop spamming! Keep watching.""Yeah, let him show off a bit more. What a shame, he'll probably be killed very soon."

Everyone felt a sense of regret. This was a ruthless ancient figure, a true schemer, whose calculations were astonishing. Yet, the power gap was simply too vast. He had come forward to expose the true form of the Lord of Reincarnation, making a grand display that shocked the entire tea house, boosting his own prestige, and even proclaiming to the outside world that the Underworld was not to be trifled with... All these actions were already terrifying. But that was all there was to it.

Yet, who knew that in the next moment, as more screenshots appeared, the Lord of Mount You grew even calmer, uttering another earth-shattering, thunderous statement:

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Another profoundly impactful statement, worthy of being included in the year's top ten golden phrases, but it also made them explode with shock. Their minds went blank.

"Kill the Lord of Reincarnation?""Holy cow, you King of Audacity! Wouldn't you just die if you didn't show off?!""Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Master, are you trying to break out of the universe?! Did I hear that right?"

Suddenly, all the netizens were stunned. Looking at the captions in the screenshots, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. What kind of concept was this? An ant showing off in front of an elephant was already impressive, but now, it was smiling and declaring, "I want to kill you"? Even the notorious 'Autumn Mountain Speed,' known for his wild driving (and commenting style), was speechless. He considered himself a leader in the community, but little did he know there was always someone better!

However, more screenshots were soon released. The Lord of Mount You continued to speak of miracles, captivating the crowd, and then directly revealed a new trump card: Zhang Taiyuan.

Outside the tea house, someone began to exclaim that the divine sources of the two sealed Celestials had also been secretly destroyed. Upon seeing this, everyone finally understood. His act of exposing the Lord of Reincarnation's true form in the tea house and drawing a crowd wasn't just to persuade them to attack; it was also to divert attention while secretly overpowering the two Celestial Emperors, forcing them into a desperate situation.

'Autumn Mountain Speed' commented, "Too powerful! Everything is interconnected: rhetoric combined with action... This kind of calculation gives me goosebumps. I declare him the strongest! (Shocked)"

Alright. Even the legendary 'Speed Master' was scared speechless. Everyone was completely awestruck. The Lord of Mount You was simply too powerful! This ancient forbidden figure, a master of profound displays, had, with minimal effort, by merely speaking, truly created a miracle and instigated an an attack on the Lord of Reincarnation.

Whoosh!

In everyone's eyes, the Lord of Reincarnation in the screenshots had already risen, surrounded and attacked by the Celestial Beings. He smiled calmly.

Netizens fell silent for a moment, realizing that a battle was about to begin.

"Alone, descending to the mortal realm, without the Artifact of Reincarnation—he's in trouble!""Looks like he's finished!""Finished, my foot! You all think the Lord of Mount You is strong, but have you forgotten he was defeated by this very individual in the old era?""You fools upstairs! It's obvious that the Lord of Reincarnation, who still appears so calm, is the true super monster."

Everyone immediately caught on. The Lord of Reincarnation was a far more powerful entity who had defeated the Lord of Mount You in ancient times. His wisdom and talent were truly the most terrifying! Could it be that the constantly smiling Lord of Reincarnation is the true hidden 'King of Swagger'?

"Brothers, I can already sense the awe-inspiring aura of the Emperor from afar." Autumn Mountain Speed inwardly cursed. Was the second 'King of Swagger' about to make his move?
