1139: Strong people gather together

Over the vast ocean beyond the East Sea's boundary, an incredibly terrifying Aura circulated, converging into one.

Under the subtle connection of Qi, the surrounding sea became as calm as stagnant water, silent and oppressive!

All those gathered here were powerhouses who had left a formidable reputation on Blue Star.

Ordinary Nine Revolution cultivators could only cower behind their elders, and only those at the Nine Revolution Peak, or even the 10th Rank powerhouses who were rarely seen, dared to stand upright and observe their surroundings with dignity.

It could be said without exaggeration that the people gathered here now possessed the strength to easily flatten an ordinary large world.

However, at this moment, as streaks of rainbow light appeared in the sky, these powerhouses, no matter how unruly, showed solemnity and even a hint of yearning on their faces, feeling the terrifying Aura emanating from within the lights.

Buzz!

The rainbow light dissipated, revealing the figures within, with a peerless woman at the forefront, radiating a dominant Aura, instantly drawing the most attention.

"Is this?"

The moment they saw this woman, many people's eyes showed confusion, but then someone suddenly realized something, their eyes widening, their expressions turning incredulous, even fanatical.

In this eerie, silent atmosphere, Miguel Reina, from the Day-Never-Setting Empire, moved and rushed before the woman, kneeling on one knee, speaking with extreme reverence and even fanaticism:

"Miguel Reina, greetings, Your Majesty!"

As Miguel Reina's words came out, everyone in the field was instantly shaken, and the vague conjecture that had surfaced in their hearts was immediately confirmed.

"Reina?"

Elizabeth III's Phoenix eyes swept over Miguel Reina, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her gaze.

"It's little Miguel of the Reina Family!"

"I remember the last time I saw you, you had just completed your knight's investiture..."

"To think, nearly two hundred years have passed!"

Elizabeth III waved her hand, sending out a force to help Miguel Reina up, her clear voice echoing throughout the field.

"Your Majesty..."

Upon hearing that Elizabeth III still remembered him, Miguel Reina was moved beyond words, his face flushing with excitement.

Logically speaking, a 10th Rank powerhouse like him should have long possessed an unshakeable state of mind, but this Queen was different after all.

She was a legendary figure who led the Day-Never-Setting Empire back to the world's Peak in the new era, revered like a deity over hundreds of years, and the worship of her was almost engraved in the blood of every Day-Never-Setting Empire citizen.

At this moment, the Day-Never-Setting Empire powerhouses who had arrived earlier stepped forward to salute, and upon seeing this legendary Queen, their expressions were all like Miguel Reina's.

And besides them, the crowd gathered, led by the Eagle Country, also hurried forward at this moment.

The white man who had been at loggerheads with Miguel Reina earlier now bowed and saluted Elizabeth III with unprecedented respect, his hand over his chest:

"Marco Rothschild, greetings, Your Majesty!"

"This Junior represents the Rothschild Family, congratulating Your Majesty on your Breakthrough to the 11th Stage and achieving the realm of a World Master!"

After Marco Rothschild, representatives from the Morgan Family and Rockefeller Family also followed with greetings.

And Suda Gangyi, mixed in the crowd, could only follow the vast majority of people in saluting, not even having the right to state his name.

A pillar of a country, yet reduced to such a miserable state.

"Hmm!"

Facing the crowd led by the Eagle Country, Elizabeth III's attitude was not as amiable as before; she nodded coldly, then looked around and asked indifferently:

"Afonso has an appointment for a battle, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Could it be that he lacks confidence and has backed down at the last minute?"

"This..."

Hearing Elizabeth III's words, which clearly carried a hint of displeasure, Marco Rothschild opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.

However, at this moment, a sudden voice echoing through the field saved him.

"Hahahaha, Ciaakina, we came here to watch the battle without even buying a ticket, so how can we demand the protagonist to appear early?"

A thunderous voice resounded across thousands of miles of ocean, and a long rainbow, piercing through heaven and earth, flew from the distant horizon, tearing through space and landing before everyone.

After the rainbow light dissipated, two figures, far exceeding normal height and build, almost like giants, were revealed within.

The person speaking, with white hair casually tied behind his head, had an incredibly youthful appearance, but his height was half a body taller than the person beside him, nearly three meters.

"Another 11th Stage?!"

Everyone present was greatly shocked by this, their astonished gazes simultaneously converging on the nearly three-meter-tall giant at the forefront.

To dare to call Elizabeth III by her name, this must be a terrifying powerhouse of the same Rank or even from the same era as her.

Especially upon seeing the attendant half a body behind the giant, many people present had a faint guess in their hearts.

To be able to have Andrei Panyukov, the Minister of Defense of the Bear Country and one of its Great Generals, as an attendant, this person's identity was already almost revealed...

"Auglaff?"

Elizabeth III's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

With her discerning eye, she could naturally easily see that the Auglaff before her had already reached the 11th Stage, and was even a bit more stable than herself.

"This fellow, did he Breakthrough even earlier than me?"

"Heh heh, it was rumored that Auglaff had perished in an unknown place due to exhaustion of Qi and blood from too many blood battles in his early years; it was indeed false news!"

"This foolish bear's vitality is even more vigorous than mine."

Elizabeth III thought with a cold sneer in her heart, but a bright smile appeared on her usually cold face.

"Auglaff, old friend, I never imagined that after hundreds of years, we would have a day to meet again; this is truly joyful."

Elizabeth III's smile was like a blooming flower, and the charm she exuded in an instant made everyone present turn their heads and even feel their hearts sway.

However, Auglaff was completely unmoved and unaffected, but a hint of recollection couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

"Ciaakina, it's been a hundred years since we last met, and seeing you again makes me recall the scene a hundred years ago on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, when we fought side by side against the Blood Clan; back then, you and I were both old and frail, who would have thought that I, an old man, would live to see the unparalleled grace of Queen Elizabeth III again?"

Auglaff spoke with emotion, and at this point, his expression suddenly became serious; he said solemnly:

"You and I share a bond of camaraderie, and Alfonso Rothschild and Zhang Dingguo are also our comrades-in-arms."

"The scene of us fighting side by side against the Blood Clan Progenitor is still vivid in my mind, yet now that the great calamity brought by the Blood Clan has been removed, we are to become so estranged, even hostile."

"Ciaakina, I imagine you feel the same about this, don't you?"
