The handsome man also recognized Yun Ling. It was the young man he had seen fleeing from the Immortal Willow Tree along with a few others months ago.

In any other situation, he would've already interrogated him on why and what he was doing there, however, he did nothing of the sort for his attention was on the man who was accompanied by the young man and the wolf.

That man had the same black substance on his body that was on his arms and body as well. He had no doubt that he was the one responsible for stopping him.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice trembling for he was too angry at being denied of something so close to his hand yet out of reach. A mere centimeter away from the Heavenly Grand Treasure!

The newcomer looked at him darkly.

"Watch your words, Mortal, lest I pull out that filthy tongue of yours," the god said.

"Mortal?" his eyes twitched at being referred to as a mortal. Someone in this lowly world called him a mortal? He might still be a mortal in the Ethereal Realm but in a lowly world like this, he might as well be god to them! "How dare you call—!"

He cut off his words after realizing something. This newcomer looked extremely arrogant and he was even calling him a mortal. What was more, he was able to stop him in his tracks effortlessly and he was helpless about it. He tried to break away from his bindings but it was way too tough for him.

This way of speaking made him think of quite a few people back in their home, and all of them were at the immortal realm or higher. It wouldn't be strange if this guy was at their level. If so, then he wouldn't stand a chance.

It was frustrating. It also meant that he would have to give up on the treasure since this guy was surely after it. Who could resist one of the Twelve Heavenly Grand Treasures in the universe?

At the god's side, Yun Ling's eyes were hurting even more due to the close proximity of the treasure. The pain was unlike any other. He couldn't even breathe properly because of the pain. He completely failed to notice that the ring given by Yue Dongmei was glowing brighter than ever before.

"Agh, it hurts," he groaned out in pain.

Earlier, he was silent even though he was hurting. Now, the pain was getting worse and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Young Master, is there something I can help you with?" Snow Fang asked in concern.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

However, Yun Ling said nothing. At that very moment, he seriously considered plucking his eyes out.

The god ignored the suffering Yun Ling as he slowly walked towards the treasure with a big smile on his face. At last, the treasure was his.

Throughout history, countless immortals, gods, even ancient gods, and primordial gods had lost their lives in battle trying to claim ownership of the Twelve Heavenly Grand Treasures. Who would've thought that the opportunity to get a Heavenly Grand Treasure would come to him, a god who was far weaker than those beings?

How funny was that?

While the man was focused on the god, and the god on the treasure, the woman slowly moved towards Yun Ling with her staff.

Snow Fang growled when he noticed the woman coming towards them. The woman might look weak but looks could be deceiving. Who knew if this woman possessed enough power to eliminate them both?

The woman noticed Snow Fang being hostile to her so she stopped before she could get close enough for Snow Fang to attack her. She was a bit worried about Yun Ling. He was the father of their daughter, after all. Though it happened due to unforeseen circumstances, the fact remains that they had shared a bed with each other and had Zi Xia.

She might not have any romantic feelings for him but his status as a father to her daughter was enough for her to be worried about him. She knew just how obsessed her daughter was at having a father so for her daughter, she wouldn't allow anything to happen to him if she could help it.

She looked at Snow Fang intently and wondered what she could do so he wouldn't be hostile to her anymore.

"Snow Fang..."

The said beast looked at his young master in concern, forgetting about the woman in favor of his young master.

"Yes, Young Master?"

"Get... away from me," Yun Ling said weakly. He could feel his spiritual energy going out of control and was about to burst out from his body.

While Snow Fang and the woman were busy about Yun Ling, the man's veins were protruding due to the god who was now beside him.

The god stretched his hand towards the treasure but the moment he did so, his hand was bounced off by the pillar of light.

"Hm?"

He frowned and then stretched his hand once again, only for the same thing to happen.

"What the?"

He tried to push his hand towards the pillar of light with more force but the only thing that happened was that his hand was bounced off by the pillar of light with the same force.

Gritting his teeth, the god punched the pillar of light, only to be blasted off by the pillar of light.

Upon seeing this, the man who was immobilized by the god calmed down.

It turned out that the treasure couldn't be touched with the pillar of light in the way. Somehow, he felt much better when he knew that because that meant that even if the god didn't immobilize him, he wouldn't have been able to get it anyway.

"This... this is fucking ridiculous! What the fuck is this? This shitty pillar of light!"

The god walked towards the treasure once again while cursing.

Suddenly, everyone in the vicinity felt a build-up of spiritual and divine energy coming from Yun Ling.

The god, man, woman, and beast, directed their gaze at Yun Ling who was groaning in pain. They saw Yun Ling's eyes which were bleeding continuously.

The man and the woman were shocked upon seeing his eyes.

"That mortal has the Divine Eyes?" the man said in shock while the woman looked at Yun Ling silently with her mouth open a bit.

"This pain... how do I make it stop?!" Yun Ling screamed out as his spiritual and divine energy burst out from his body.
