King of Ten Thousand Years

”Ah! You pieces of trash think you can kill me?!”

Jing Yuan roared.

His skin rapidly darkened as strange, ancient-looking scales surfaced, and a vicious, frigid, and violent aura swept through the area.

This was a special ability of the Sea Hunter Race, capable of temporarily boosting speed and attack power. It was a trump card that couldn’t be used consecutively.

This was the second time Jing Yuan had used it today, so its effects were greatly diminished.

”Cold Wind Palm!”

Luo Tian infused the Cold Power of his Nether Dragon Divine Vein into his Palm Technique, unleashing a bone-chilling, azure-blue Vortex Palm Technique.

WHOOSH!

The palm strike blasted forward, its chilling intent invading completely, leaving Jing Yuan’s entire body cold and stiff.

Moreover, the Cold Power within this palm strike contained a tyrannical Yin Netherworld Power that snuffed out life force.

Jing Yuan was covered in wounds, and his life force was rapidly draining away.

Under these circumstances, even using his trump card, he could hardly turn the tables. He was slowly succumbing to death.

Not far away, Tu Kai and Yu Sanshui were leisurely making their way over.

Jing Yuan had sent them a telepathic message long ago, but Tu Kai, who didn’t get along with him, hadn’t paid it any mind and only came after his own injuries had healed.

”What’s that?”

From a distance, the two saw the battle inside the ancient fortress. Jing Yuan was bathed in blood, a truly miserable sight.

And the one who had forced Jing Yuan into this state was none other than Luo Tian!

SWISH! SWISH!

Tu Kai and Yu Sanshui burst forward at full speed, rushing over.

Even if Tu Kai and Jing Yuan were at odds, they both represented the Sea Demon Palace and absolutely could not allow the mission to fail.

Besides, Tu Kai also wanted to kill Luo Tian!

”Oh no, two more members of the Sea Hunter Race have arrived!”

The Yellow-robed Man shouted.

Jiang Daoyun’s face also showed panic.

That Tu Kai’s Cultivation was actually at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer, and he seemed even stronger than Jing Yuan.

Tu Kai alone could turn the tide of battle and slaughter the entire human side.

”Tu Kai, you bastard! You’re only showing up now?!”

Jing Yuan roared with uncontrollable rage, grinding his teeth in hatred.

”Die!”

Luo Tian’s expression turned cold. His True Qi surged as he thrust out an incomparably swift Sword Light.

If Tu Kai and Jing Yuan were allowed to regroup, the four Sea Hunter Race members would join forces, and even Luo Tian and Shangguan Su would be powerless to change the outcome.

But it was precisely because of Tu Kai’s arrival that Jing Yuan’s fury erupted, revealing a flaw!

Luo Tian’s sword targeted Jing Yuan’s flaw. A Gale Sword Light, as cold and fast as lightning, pierced the darkness and shot forward.

”No!”

Jing Yuan screamed in terror. He was too late to block this sword and couldn’t dodge it. The crisis of death was upon him!

”Die!”

From nearby, Tu Kai suddenly launched an attack, unleashing his ultimate move!

Nine-star Annihilation!

A jet-black stream of light shot into the sky, converging into nine thick, dark spears. They resonated with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, carrying the momentum to slaughter all living things.

SHOO SHOO...

The nine black spears shot out in unison, almost completely sealing off Luo Tian’s escape routes. There was nowhere to run!

But at the same time, Jing Yuan was also within the attack’s range.

”Tu Kai, you bastard!”

Jing Yuan bellowed in fury.

”It’s too late to save you anyway, so you might as well be buried with this human. I’ll complete the mission the higher-ups assigned,” Tu Kai sneered.

Luo Tian hadn’t expected Tu Kai to be so ruthless, including Jing Yuan in his attack.

A powerful sense of crisis rapidly approached, making Luo Tian’s entire body tense up.

The ultimate move from a peak-condition Tu Kai, prepared specifically for Luo Tian, was terrifyingly lethal!

’Do I have to use my trump card?’

Luo Tian thought to himself, already preparing to retrieve the Red Lotus Sword or the trump card given to him by his master, Mu Yunshi, from his Storage Space.

But at that very moment, a delicate cry came from the distance, and a fairy-like figure in white swiftly arrived.

”Who dares harm him!”

Within her beautiful eyes, which were like clear autumn pools, there was a frigid killing intent!

BOOM!

A terrifying, surging aura suddenly erupted. A vast, emerald-green mist rolled around the white-robed woman, transforming into a ribbon of emerald light that pierced through a hundred meters of empty space, shooting toward the nine spears!

’What? Wasn’t that kid supposed to be the strongest among the human geniuses?’ Tu Kai thought, slightly alarmed.

The strength the white-robed woman was displaying right now felt even greater than Luo Tian’s.

The ribbon of emerald light arrived in an instant and violently collided with the nine black spears, setting off a deafening explosion!

Luo Tian glanced at the white-robed woman. ’Perfect timing!’

Before sneaking into the ancient fortress, he had suddenly received a message on his Identity Token. It wasn’t from Yi Jingwen inside the fortress, but from the mysterious white-robed woman.

However, the white-robed woman’s earlier cry of ”Who dares harm him!” felt a bit strange to Luo Tian.

It was as if the two of them were very familiar, with a very close relationship.

But Luo Tian didn’t dwell on it. With the white-robed woman having resolved the crisis from Tu Kai, he swiftly thrust his sword, piercing through Jing Yuan’s throat.

THUD!

The body collapsed, and blue blood spurted out. Jing Yuan died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

He was killed by someone at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm, and even his own kinsman, Tu Kai, didn’t care about his life, wanting to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

”Powerful reinforcements have arrived!”

”Jing Yuan is dead!”

Even Yi Jingwen’s cold, jade-like face revealed a bright smile.

The others all breathed a sigh of relief.

The mysterious white-robed woman was ranked eighth at the Celestial Pride Conference, but that was purely because she hadn’t taken the competition seriously and hadn’t fought for Celestial Fate Qi.

Her true strength was far greater than that of the Extreme Ice Fairy.

And just now, the power she had displayed had even reached Qi Yuntian’s level!

This woman had hidden her abilities so deeply!

”Kill all the Sea Hunter Race!” Luo Tian said to the white-robed woman.

The white-robed woman gazed at Luo Tian and nodded faintly. The two of them charged toward Tu Kai and Yu Sanshui together.

As for Shangguan Su, Yi Jingwen, and the others, they surrounded and attacked the Sea Hunter Race member at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer inside the ancient fortress!

The great battle was about to erupt.

The white-robed woman fought Tu Kai.

Luo Tian, meanwhile, charged at Yu Sanshui.

The moment they clashed, Luo Tian suppressed Yu Sanshui.

”Damn it, he’s even stronger than before!”

Yu Sanshui’s expression darkened.

He had been no match for Luo Tian before, and now he felt even more pressure.

”This time, I won’t let you escape again,” Luo Tian sneered.

”Escape? Ridiculous!”

Yu Sanshui sneered mockingly.

Although he was no match for Luo Tian, he wouldn’t be defeated so easily. As long as he held out until Tu Kai defeated the white-robed woman, Luo Tian was doomed.

But with a glance, Yu Sanshui saw that Tu Kai and the mysterious white-robed woman were evenly matched!

”How is that possible?”

Yu Sanshui was dumbfounded.

A human genius at the Earth Element Realm was actually able to fight on equal footing with a peak-condition Tu Kai. It was simply unbelievable.

Luo Tian was also slightly surprised. The white-robed woman’s true strength was greater than he had imagined. She had the ability to compete for the title of King of the Celestial Pride but had given it up.

He didn’t dwell on it.

In the current situation, the stronger the white-robed woman was, the better!

Luo Tian and Yu Sanshui were old enemies meeting again, their eyes red with fury. Their battle quickly grew white-hot.

”Kill!”

A sinister glint flickered in Yu Sanshui’s green eyes. He activated his Martial Vein Power, and an illusion of raging waves appeared above his head.

The air around him grew thick and damp, as if he were underwater instead of mid-air. All aspects of Yu Sanshui’s strength were enhanced, and he instantly launched a counterattack. His dark, sharp claws grazed past Luo Tian’s cheek!

He was originally weaker than Luo Tian, but in a watery environment, Yu Sanshui had almost evened the odds.

”Activate!”

Luo Tian held back no longer. His Nether Dragon Divine Vein erupted with full power, and a dark Cold Mist instantly spread for dozens of meters around him.

The two Martial Vein Powers clashed.

HMM!

From within the vortex of dark Cold Mist, the faint roar of a dragon could be heard. It was like a bottomless abyss, emitting a pulling force that sucked in and froze Yu Sanshui’s Martial Vein Power.

The currents of water around Yu Sanshui were all frozen into ice by the Cold Mist, and the enhancement to his power rapidly vanished.

”An Ice Element Martial Vein!”

Yu Sanshui’s face was as dark as storm clouds.

An Ice Element Martial Vein completely countered his Water Martial Vein.

”Cold Wind Palm!”

Luo Tian executed the Palm Technique, and a violent, ice-cold Palm Force howled forth.

The palm strike was immense and powerful. Though its might couldn’t compare to his Swordsmanship, it was very difficult to dodge.

Furthermore, the true threat of the Cold Wind Palm was the subtle, insidious Cold Power that could corrode an enemy’s body and gradually weaken their condition.

Sword Rolling Residual Clouds!

A cyclone of frigid, sharp Sword Qi rushed out, churning rapidly into a vortex. It formed a vast Sword Qi Tornado that exuded an aura of boundless cold!

Yu Sanshui’s attack was swiftly crushed by this Swordsmanship technique.

His chain claw was also sent flying.

HISSS! CRACK!

The Sword Qi Tornado struck Yu Sanshui’s True Essence Shield. Countless streams of Sword Qi sliced back and forth, instantly wearing down and shattering the shield!

”Not good!”

Yu Sanshui retreated frantically, but several bloody gashes were still left on his body.

Luo Tian pressed his advantage, combining his Sword Technique, Sword Intent, and the Celestial Sword Technique. His Swordsmanship was sharp and fierce, further wounding Yu Sanshui.

At this moment, Yu Sanshui wanted to retreat, but Luo Tian had already laid the groundwork. A large amount of cold intent had invaded his body, leaving him frigid and stiff. The circulation of his True Essence slowed, and his speed was only sixty percent of his peak.

In this state, how could he possibly escape from Luo Tian’s grasp?

”Senior Brother Tu, save me!”

Yu Sanshui screamed for help.

Tu Kai was locked in a fierce battle with the white-robed woman. Her attacks were incredibly ferocious, as if the two shared a great enmity.

Moreover, Tu Kai discovered that the Cultivation and Martial Skill the white-robed woman practiced were incredibly profound, and he couldn’t gain the slightest advantage.

When he heard Yu Sanshui’s plea and turned his head to look...

PSHCK!

Luo Tian’s sword lopped off Yu Sanshui’s head, and blood rained down.

After killing Yu Sanshui, Luo Tian immediately joined forces with the white-robed woman to attack Tu Kai!

Tu Kai instantly felt immense pressure.

Fighting one against two, he was completely outmatched. Wounds quickly appeared on his body!

At the same time, Shangguan Su, Yi Jingwen, the Yellow-robed Man, and the other geniuses from the Spirit List ganged up on and killed the Sea Hunter Race member at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer, then immediately came to provide support.

Run!

Tu Kai unleashed a wave of roiling black turbulence, then turned and fled!

Luo Tian and the white-robed woman immediately gave chase.

’The Sea Demon Palace only sent five disciples into this place. Tu Kai is the last one!’

Luo Tian was exhilarated.

At the beginning, the Sea Hunter Race had wantonly hunted and captured human geniuses.

But from the moment Luo Tian launched his surprise attack, the Sea Hunter Race geniuses had fallen one after another. Now, only one remained!

This was practically a total victory for the human geniuses!

After a short chase, the heavily injured Tu Kai once again escaped into a river.

This was an island environment with many rivers, so it couldn’t be helped.

Once in the river, Tu Kai’s speed increased dramatically, and he shook off Luo Tian and the others.

”Damn you, Luo Tian!”

Tu Kai gritted his teeth, furious and frustrated.

He had been severely wounded and forced to flee again. And now, he was the only member of the Sea Hunter Race left here. How was he supposed to continue?

Tu Kai saw that Luo Tian, the white-robed woman, and the others hadn’t given up the chase. They were intent on wiping him out completely!
