King of Ten Thousand Years

”Lin Qiao’Er is dead!”

”A genius ranked fiftieth on the Chilong Dynasty’s Human List was slapped off Cloud Ascending Peak by Luo Tian’s palm strike!”

”Is Luo Tian’s strength already great enough to crush someone ranked in the top fifty of the Chilong Dynasty’s Human List?”

An uproar erupted all around.

Everyone had originally thought that Luo Tian would be the one to fall to his death under the combined assault of so many geniuses. That would have been the logical outcome.

But the result was the complete opposite.

”Luo Tian, you’ve killed another one of my subordinates!”

Yan Qing’s face was ashen, his killing intent flaring intensely!

He was the one who had given Lin Qiao’Er her spot. As long as she entered the Yunxiao Sect, there was a chance she could become an Earth Level Martial Artist in the future and serve him.

But now, Lin Qiao’Er was dead.

This was not only a huge loss for Yan Qing, but also a matter of face.

...

On Cloud Ascending Peak.

Yuwen Xuan took a deep breath, marveling at Luo Tian’s strength.

His cultivation was the same as Lin Qiao’Er’s, but the gap in their actual strength was enormous. He estimated that he would have trouble lasting even twenty techniques against her.

This scene made Yuwen Xuan keenly aware of the gap between himself and Luo Tian.

’This kid is interesting,’

The yellow-robed woman, Ke Yuexuan, glanced at Luo Tian before sighing with regret. ’But what a pity. He’s showing off too much. Opposing Yan Qing is truly unwise!’

She glanced up toward the summit. She was already at a height of four hundred meters.

At this altitude, even she needed to be cautious and couldn’t afford to be reckless.

’However, based on the current situation, I’ll definitely be the first to reach the top of Cloud Ascending Peak!’

”From now on, I will kill anyone who gets in my way!”

Luo Tian’s bone-chilling gaze swept over the crowd of people below.

Those who lacked confidence felt an inexplicable shiver, and hesitation appeared on their faces.

’This boy is no simple character...’

Ji Yongcheng, who was relatively close to Luo Tian, didn’t dare to make a rash move either.

Lin Qiao’Er’s death had a certain impact on him.

As someone ranked thirty-second on the Human List, he didn’t dare to face Luo Tian alone. Instead, he planned to wait for the main group below to catch up before making a move.

Even in a normal fight, Luo Tian would be annihilated if ganged up on by so many Human List geniuses, let alone in a perilous place like Cloud Ascending Peak.

SWOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

When Luo Tian reached the three-hundred-meter mark, his speed slowed a little more.

This allowed the Cui Brothers and some other geniuses below to get closer and closer to him.

Before long, the Cui Brothers were within fifty meters of Luo Tian.

”Kill him!”

The two brothers shouted in unison. A massive, brilliant white saber light and a dark, gleaming sword aura slashed out almost simultaneously.

The saber light and sword aura complemented each other, greatly increasing their power!

The twin brothers’ combined attack was incomparably ferocious. Even someone at the Peak of Spirit Sea Realm Third Layer would have to temporarily avoid its edge.

”Go!”

Ji Yongcheng also attacked again, throwing nine Darts as Hidden Weapons.

In an instant, three top experts from the Chilong Dynasty’s Human List—ranked thirty-second, twenty-ninth, and twenty-seventh—were besieging Luo Tian.

”This time, there’s no way Luo Tian can survive, right?”

”With these three great Human List geniuses working together, they could even put up a fight against someone at the Fourth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm!”

”This is what happens when you anger the Chiyan Dynasty!”

Many of the geniuses sighed in amazement.

But they had all clearly underestimated Luo Tian.

”Celestial Furnace Treasure Body!”

Luo Tian activated the Magic Technique. A jade-like, cyan film of light appeared on his skin as his muscles bulged slightly, radiating a terrifying pressure from the power of his qi and blood.

After fully activating the Celestial Furnace Treasure Body, Luo Tian’s defense and power soared.

He threw a punch, wreathed in a cyan-jade luster. It let out a deep, muffled boom as it met the Cui Brothers’ joint attack head-on.

BANG! BOOM!

An explosion erupted, sending shockwaves rolling out and blasting a huge crater into the rock face.

Under Luo Tian’s single punch, the white saber aura and black Sword Light shattered into pieces in an instant.

’What a terrifyingly powerful attack!’

The Cui Brothers were astonished. ’This Luo Tian is simply a monster, to be able to contend with the two of us.’

’But there are three of us attacking him together.’

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Ji Yongcheng’s Darts arrived silently in front of Luo Tian and pierced through.

”Success! HAHAHA! I’m the one who killed Luo Tian!”

Ji Yongcheng threw his head back and let out a triumphant laugh.

TING! TING! TING!

But suddenly, a series of crisp metallic clinks rang out.

Looking up, he saw that the Darts had indeed hit Luo Tian, but they only left a white mark on his body before falling away.

”Hiss! This...”

Ji Yongcheng sucked in a cold breath, completely stunned.

His ultimate Dart skill had powerful defense-piercing capabilities. The True Qi Body Protection of a cultivator at the Peak of Spirit Sea Realm Second Layer was like paper in front of his Cold Light Shadowless Dart technique.

It could even easily pierce the True Qi Body Protection of someone at the Third Layer of Spirit Sea Realm.

And yet, it hadn’t even managed to break Luo Tian’s skin!

Just how tough was his hide? Even a Demon Beast at the Third Layer of Spirit Sea Realm wasn’t this terrifying!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Luo Tian waved his arm again, and three black arcs, as fast as lightning, streaked through the air, closing in on Ji Yongcheng in the blink of an eye.

”Damn it, he caught the Darts again!”

Ji Yongcheng’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t noticed just now that only six Darts had hit Luo Tian; the other three had been snatched away.

He had been careless because he thought he’d already killed Luo Tian. He never expected to fall into the same trap again.

Ji Yongcheng immediately executed a Body Technique, turning into a dark shadow and drifting back to the right.

But it was too late.

The three Darts were imbued with terrifying force and moved at an astonishing speed.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

All three Darts plunged into Ji Yongcheng’s chest.

One of them even exited through his back, a testament to the immense force with which Luo Tian had thrown them!

”Pfft...”

Ji Yongcheng spat out a mouthful of blood as the immense force sent him flying away from the cliff face, leaving him suspended in mid-air.

With no foothold and in a severely wounded and weakened state, Ji Yongcheng was swept even farther away by the fierce winds before he plummeted downward!

”Ah, save me...”

THUD!

Another corpse of a Chilong Dynasty genius lay on the ground.

”Ji Yongcheng is dead too!”

The surroundings fell slightly silent before a cry of alarm broke the quiet.

Luo Tian was simply terrifying!

Even the Cui Brothers frowned in unison, sensing how troublesome this was.

Fortunately, the other Human List geniuses were constantly rushing over.

’This can’t go on. The situation is not looking good!’

Luo Tian’s gaze darkened.

Although the strength of these geniuses posed no substantial threat to him, their advantage was in their numbers.

The higher he climbed, the more careful he had to be. Otherwise, even he could suffer an unexpected setback.

’So it’s best to deal with these annoyances first!’

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

Luo Tian pushed off the rock wall with his feet, dropping a dozen meters to instantly close in on the Cui Brothers!

Celestial Star Six Techniques! Starfire, Spreading Like Wildfire!

He gripped the Wind and Snow Sword, dragging out streaks of Starlight Sword Aura that seemed to burst into flames.

A vast sword radiance, like spreading sparks, rushed toward the Cui Brothers like a great dragon of burning starlight.

”What a ferocious sword strike!”

The Cui Brothers immediately executed their Saber and Sword Techniques to counter Luo Tian’s Attack.

However, Luo Tian’s Sword Technique was agile, his strikes were incredibly fast, and his power was even greater!

PSSH! PSH-PFFT!

Streaks of fiery Sword Light flashed past the Cui Brothers, leaving gashes in their wake.

At this moment, the Cui Brothers felt as if they were trapped in an ocean of starlight sparks, where a single misstep would result in injury.

”We’re here! Let’s surround and kill him together!”

A shout came from behind them.

Several more Human List geniuses were charging over. They were slightly weaker than the Cui Brothers, so they had arrived a bit slower.

But at that very moment, Luo Tian’s eyes were as deep as the starry sky. The Treasure Sword in his hand slashed out, creating a splendid sword radiance like a Star River. An endless starry sky seemed to back him, exuding a vast and magnificent aura!

”Star Shining Nine Heavens!”

Faced with this sword strike, the Cui Brothers were mentally shaken, feeling as insignificant as ants.

”Kill!”

Knowing the power of Luo Tian’s attack, the two of them let out a sharp cry and unleashed their full power.

BOOM-SHINK!

Saber light and Sword Qi crisscrossed, leaving more than ten deep cuts on the rock face.

PFFT!

One of the Cui Brothers spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red as he fell.

”Little brother!”

The older brother cried out in alarm, but he was helpless to do anything but watch his younger brother fall to his death!

”You can go down and join him!”

Luo Tian’s icy voice rang out.

The surrounding gales seemed to be mixed with wind and snow, scraping against them like frigid blades!

”No, this isn’t a blizzard! It’s Martial Vein Power!”

The older Cui brother’s expression froze.

SWISH!

A brilliant Sword Light, like a Star River, carried a bone-chilling, azure Cold Power as it slashed toward him.

As the cold air spread, the older Cui brother was chilled to the bone, his movements stiffening for a moment.

TING-SHINK!

The saber strike he hastily unleashed was severed by Luo Tian’s Star River Level Sword Light. The remainder of the Sword Dao Attack landed on his thigh.

”No!”

The older Cui brother’s legs gave out, and he tumbled down, landing next to his younger brother.

”They’re dead! The Cui Brothers are dead too!”

”So strong! Luo Tian’s strength has to be at least top twenty on the Chilong Dynasty’s Human List!”

The deaths of the Cui Brothers caused an even greater shock.

After all, these two were ranked twenty-ninth and twenty-seventh on the Human List, and their combined strength was even greater!

With their power, they would have had no problem entering the Yunxiao Sect if they hadn’t run into Luo Tian. But now, they had fallen here!

”This...”

The dozens of Human List geniuses who arrived later had just been preparing to join forces with the Cui Brothers to execute Luo Tian.

But then, the Cui Brothers were suddenly wiped out!

Although there were many of them, without an expert on the level of the Cui Brothers, they all hesitated.

”Who’s next to die!”

Luo Tian looked down from above, his expression cold and his killing intent overflowing.

His shout carried a massive, fearless aura and was thick with killing intent, striking a heavy blow to everyone’s minds.

This was especially true since Luo Tian had just killed Ji Yongcheng and the Cui Brothers, making his words all the more shocking!

And just then, a strange, dark light emanated from Luo Tian’s eyes. His lips moved slightly, as if silent demonic words were drifting out.

At this moment, Luo Tian seemed to transform into a generational Evil Monarch. His hair and robes fluttered as he exuded a sinister and unpredictable aura.

”He’s too terrifying! Too powerful! He even killed the Cui Brothers!”

”He’s going to kill us too!”

”Run! Retreat!”

For the ten or twenty Human List geniuses who met Luo Tian’s gaze, the fear in their hearts was instantly magnified.

This was Cloud Ascending Peak; the slightest misstep meant falling to their deaths.

At this moment, the fear in the hearts of these geniuses, who had been afflicted by the Demon Thought Technique, was infinitely amplified. They could no longer remain calm, and their mistakes multiplied.

”AHH!”

A scream rang out as one genius lost his footing and fell.

”Oh no! Help me!”

Another woman made a mistake and fell from Cloud Ascending Peak.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

One after another, a dozen or so geniuses plummeted from the cliff.

This bizarre scene left many of the people below completely baffled and utterly astonished.

’What’s going on?’

They hadn’t seen Luo Tian make a move, yet a dozen geniuses were falling one after another.

From what they could see with their naked eyes, it looked as if these people had been so terrified by Luo Tian that they had committed mass ”suicide by jumping off the cliff”!
