The Omnipotent System

Chapter 78: A Celestial In The Primordial Chaos Sect

"And now, you will pay the price," Adams declared, his voice resonating with finality.

"I don't think so, brat."

The words sliced through the tension like a knife. All eyes in the arena turned toward the source, a man with majestic wings descending from the sky. He landed gracefully, his presence commanding attention as he pointed a gleaming sword directly at Adams.

The man who had been trembling under Adams' oppressive aura just moments ago suddenly found new strength. His fear evaporated, replaced by a surge of manic energy. He burst out laughing, a harsh, grating sound that echoed through the arena, drawing the attention of everyone back to him.

"Now let's see how you get out of this one, brat," he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. His eyes, once filled with terror, now gleamed with a sinister glee as he looked at Adams.

Adams chuckled softly, his gaze steady as he regarded the man who had once cowered before him. "No longer calling me Sect Master?" he asked, a note of amusement in his voice. The man's sudden resurgence of confidence was almost laughable, given the circumstances.

"Humph," the man snorted derisively, his earlier fear completely replaced by a newfound arrogance. "I'd rather call a pig m y master than ever address you by that title again." He spat on the ground in contempt, his eyes narrowing with defiance.

The crowd watched in stunned silence, the tension in the arena thickening as they awaited Adams' response.

"You shut up too. You're the reason we're in this mess," snapped the celestial as he glared at the man who had just regained his confidence. The celestial's eyes were cold, filled with disdain, before he turned his attention back to Adams. "I'll be taking this one with me, if you don't mind."

Adams' expression twisted into a sadistic grin, one that sent a wave of unease rippling through everyone in the arena. "Oh, you can take him," Adams replied, his voice laced with dark amusement. "But only after I send his soul to Hades."

The celestial's frown deepened, his displeasure clear as Adams' words hung in the air. Without hesitation, the celestial began releasing his aura, letting it cascade toward Adams in an attempt to overwhelm him with sheer power. The force of the celestial's aura was immense, a weight that seemed to press down on everything in its path, shaking the very foundation of the arena.

But even as the oppressive energy bore down on him, Adams remained unflinching, his grin never wavering.

"I see you have the strength to back your words," the celestial acknowledged, his tone laced with a mix of respect and condescension. "But that's still not enough for someone like me." With that, he drew his sword, the blade gleaming with a fierce, divine light, as he prepared to strike down Adams.

"This is insane," one disciple muttered to his companion, his eyes wide with disbelief. "That celestial... he's powerful, right? But Sect Master Adams... it's like he's just playing with him."

Another disciple nodded, equally stunned. "I've never seen anything like this. It's like the difference between a dragon and an ant."

The celestial, regaining his composure, gritted his teeth and charged at Adams again, this time with a furious determination. He unleashed a barrage of strikes, each one more powerful than the last, his sword moving faster than the eye could follow. The air around them crackled with energy, the sheer force of his attacks causing the very space around them to distort.

But Adams moved with a grace and speed that belied his calm demeanor. He dodged each strike with minimal effort, his body weaving through the celestial's attacks with fluid precision. It was clear to everyone watching that Adams was in complete control of the situation, his every movement calculated and efficient.

Finally, Adams grew tired of the celestial's futile efforts. With a swift, almost dismissive motion, he caught the celestial's sword in his hand, stopping the next strike cold. The celestial's eyes widened in disbelief as he realized his weapon was now useless, completely overpowered by Adams' sheer strength.

"Is this all you've got?" Adams asked, his voice calm and almost pitying. "You were better off staying in the shadows."

With that, Adams tightened his grip on the celestial's sword. The weapon began to crack under the pressure, fissures spreading along its length before it shattered into pieces. The celestial stumbled back, staring at the fragments of his once-mighty sword with a mix of shock and horror.

"How is this possible?" the celestial exclaimed, his voice trembling with disbelief. "That weapon was given to me personally by one of the Ten Commandments! How could you break it with such insignificant strength? How dare you!" His aura flared violently, and the entire arena trembled under the intensity of his power.

The ground beneath him cracked, and the air seemed to vibrate with the sheer force of his fury.

"Would you tone it down?" a lethargic voice drawled from the shadows, cutting through the celestial's fury. "You're disturbing my sleep. And did I just hear you call the boss's strength insignificant? Tell me, how exactly do you want to die?"

The celestial's rage was abruptly interrupted by the sudden presence of multiple suffocating auras, each more menacing than the last. The air grew thick with a palpable tension, and a low hum reverberated through the arena as these powerful presences made themselves known.

He turned slowly, his eyes wide with shock, as he realized he was surrounded. All around the arena, figures emerged, their gazes locked onto him with lethal intent.

"The Valley Masters are now complete, I guess it is time they know the true power of the Primordial Chaos Sect."
