Chapter 1038: Shocking Impression

"Maybe next time," Li Zongming sighed.

Instead of flying over, the solar king chose to take leisurely steps. Golden stairs manifested under his feet, each stair burning with solar flame.

The solar king walked over one step at a time, the meeting room gradually burning up like a furnace.

Zhang Lie missed air-conditioning.

The solar king peered at Li Zongming and Zhang Lie. Li Zongming waved. "Long time no see, solar king."

The solar king pursed his lips. "Are you the only newbie in attendance?"

From another direction, a portal to the world opened up. The temperature of the air immediately dropped, and flakes of white snow began to pour in through the portal. The snow formed a white carpet over the ground, and a blizzard descended.

The ice queen of the white world stepped through. A blizzard was her dress, the chilling air her aura, the howling gale her breath.

The world changed once again. Half the world was covered in frosted ice; the other, burning with blazing heat.

"The ice queen, is it?"

With the ice queen\'s appearance, the scorching-hot air finally cooled down. Zhang Lie thanked her silently.

"Air-conditioning, finally!"

The ice queen, just like the solar king, walked toward the meeting room on steps of ice. The ice queen was clearly an expert at manipulating ice. On either side of the steps rose giant sculptures that knelt and bowed down to her. As she stepped toward the meeting room, a scepter of ice in her hands, a flurry of snow poured down from the skies.

The ice queen arrived in the meeting room and met the solar king\'s stare with eyes that looked like orbs of ice. Their gazes met, one cool, one heated. A blizzard roared, and sunlight flared. Dark clouds made to cover up the suns, but the sunlight pierced the clouds and splashed golden light onto the land.

The two kings stood facing each other. Where their auras met, snow melted and refroze as they clashed for dominance.

Zhang Lie was no longer thankful to the ice queen. Subject to the two feuding kings, the meeting room was beset by fire and ice, one side so hot that even sweat evaporated instantly, the other side so cold that breaths froze into blocks of ice. The wildly fluctuating temperatures were a nightmare to bear.

This wasn\'t something that could be dealt with just by removing a few layers of clothing; it was as though they were in a furnace one moment, and an ice cellar the next.

Li Zongming didn\'t dare speak up, afraid that they would both gang up on him, but Zhang Lie had no such qualms.

"What are the two of you doing?!" Zhang Lie called out. "Aren\'t you tired of doing this every time the two of you meet?"

The ice queen and the solar king both looked toward Zhang Lie simultaneously. The combination of ice and sunlight combined into a storm of both elements that surged toward him, an amalgamation of a golden solar storm and a silvery-white blizzard.

The combination of the two forces was multiplicative rather than additive—but before Zhang Lie could defend himself, Li Zongming stepped forward, blocking both superior kings\' attacks with his aura. They were very surprised that he was able to do so despite having recently ascended.

Even though the world of black rain had yet to merge with the Zongming world, in some sense, Li Zongming already qualified as half a superior king of antiquity.

The reason it was only half was because the world of black rain was simply in such bad shape that it couldn\'t be considered a whole superior world.

Even so, with an additional half of a superior world in his arsenal, Li Zongming was already starting to catch up with these superior kings of antiquity—but only catching up, for now. Li Zongming struggled against the simultaneous auras of both kings.

The ice queen and solar king glanced at him maliciously. They had chosen to ignore the newbie who had just ascended in their little feud, but if Li Zongming thought he could step in so easily, they\'d teach him a lesson.

They\'d make him learn that, even though he was qualified to be part of this meeting, he didn\'t necessarily have the right to speak, or to try to break up their conflict.

What did a newly ascended superior king think he could accomplish? They\'d need to teach him that much so he was aware of the rules, at least—he was yet far from being able to contend with the likes of them.

Outside the meeting room, wind howled and clouds formed. Snow and sunlight fell from the skies simultaneously, instantly causing Li Zongming to sweat—both from the heat and from the cold. Just as he was about to be unable to hold out any longer, Zhang Lie stepped forward.

An aura reminiscent of a deepsea abyss exploded from Zhang Lie as a giant whale appeared from Zhang Lie\'s back. A slap of its tail crushed the solar king and the ice queen\'s manifestations, dispelling the blizzard and bright sunlight, and restoring the temperature and atmosphere of the meeting room.

The solar king was flung back into his seat, and the ice queen stumbled two steps back in shock at the strength that Zhang Lie had displayed. Both superior kings were stricken with fright.

Zhang Lie whispered to Li Zongming, whom he had shielded, "If you don\'t have enough strength to take them on, don\'t try!"

Li Zongming whispered back angrily, "Do you want me to watch my son-in-law get bullied? I have to do it even if I can\'t!"

Zhang Lie couldn\'t help but smile.

Meanwhile, the solar king and ice queen were unbelievably shocked that they had lost out in terms of aura to someone who wasn\'t even a superior king...
