King of Ten Thousand Years

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!

The entire area fell silent, leaving only the sound of Zheng Qingtian slapping his own face.

All who had gathered here were major figures of the Chilong Dynasty.

In their eyes, Zheng Qingtian had always been a tyrannical overlord who could blot out the sky with a single hand, but now, this very overlord was slapping himself.

It all felt like a dream, so unbelievable that no one dared to trust their own eyes.

SLAP! SLAP!

Zheng Qingtian felt a humiliation like never before. His cheeks burned, and even the tips of his ears turned red.

But with a glance at the middle-aged woman, a deep fear welled up within him once more.

’How can Luo Tian have a Celestial Level Martial Artist protecting him?’

Zheng Qingtian couldn’t figure it out.

He glanced at the red-faced old man again. ’He couldn’t be Celestial Level too, could he?’

The number of Celestial Level Martial Artists on the entire Dongchen Continent could be counted on one hand. They were exceedingly rare. Where did these two just pop out from?

Or perhaps... he had judged wrong? Was the middle-aged woman not Celestial Level?

Zheng Qingtian had never seen a Celestial Level Martial Artist in his life, so he wasn’t entirely sure and felt he might have misunderstood.

After all, Celestial Level Martial Artists weren’t cabbages you could find on the street; they weren’t that common.

”Kowtow while you slap your face.”

Luo Tian suddenly spoke. His tone was flat, yet it sent a chill through the hearts and souls of all the powerful figures present.

Zheng Qingtian’s movements paused slightly. Veins bulged on his forehead as rage burned within him!

’This is utterly humiliating!’

However, his body was still obedient.

THUD!

Zheng Qingtian kowtowed.

SLAP!

Then he slapped his face.

His intense will to survive left him no choice but to obey Luo Tian!

He had fought so hard to get where he was today. He still wanted to dominate the dynasty. He didn’t want to die!

SLAP! THUD! SLAP! THUD!

The rhythmic sounds echoed out. An uninformed passerby might have thought someone was playing a new type of musical instrument.

”Lord Luo, please quell your anger.”

A Prefect said with an apologetic smile.

”Zheng Qingtian is apologizing to you so sincerely. Please, my lord, be the bigger person and let it go.”

A Prince added.

They had all come to watch Luo Tian be made a fool of and had mocked him plenty. Now, they were all afraid he would hold a grudge, and their flattering words flowed like an endless river.

”I don’t think he’s being very sincere. The sounds aren’t loud enough. I can barely hear them.”

Luo Tian’s casual voice rang out.

Hearing this, Zheng Qingtian’s mouth twitched, his rage erupted, and his hands trembled!

”Qingtian, put more force into it!” the Red Dragon Monarch commanded.

”Make it louder!”

The various dignitaries of the Chilong Dynasty all urged Zheng Qingtian on.

SLAP! THUD!

Zheng Qingtian fiercely slapped himself and then slammed his head to the ground, cracking the floorboards.

For a Martial Artist of his level, making these two actions louder had no physical effect on him; it was just even more humiliating.

Just as he finished one kowtow and was lifting his head, Zheng Qingtian saw three figures rapidly approaching from a distance!

The three had strange appearances. Cyan scales grew on their cheeks, foreheads, the backs of their hands, and many other parts of their bodies. Even their eyes were cyan.

The middle-aged man leading them, a member of the Cyan Armor Race, wore a strange expression. ”Hm? What’s going on here?”

”Lord Jin, save me!”

Zheng Qingtian immediately shot to his feet, crying out to the three members of the Cyan Armor Race for help!

The Dongchen Continent was currently in a state of war!

It was a war between the Cyan Armor Race and the entire Dongchen Continent.

The war had been raging for several years, with the Cyan Armor Race holding a significant advantage. Even the combined forces of the Four Major Sects and the Celestial Ring Alliance had suffered defeat after defeat.

Half of the Dongchen Continent’s territory had already been annexed.

In secret, the Chilong Dynasty had already surrendered to the Cyan Armor Race.

By directly asking the Cyan Armor Race for help, Zheng Qingtian was essentially announcing his betrayal of Dongchen, his betrayal of the Human Race!

”Lord Jin, save me! Luo Tian wants to kill me!” Zheng Qingtian pleaded.

Only the Cyan Armor Race could save him now!

Zheng Qingtian had also heard that the Cyan Armor Race had a score to settle with Luo Tian.

”Luo Tian? He’s back?”

The three members of the Cyan Armor Race looked slightly startled.

They knew that Luo Tian had gone to the Outer World.

The gazes of the three Cyan Armor Race members instantly fixed on the Dark Blue Void Ship!

”Luo Tian, you killed the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race Leader! Surrender now and come with us to admit your guilt!”

What?

As soon as these words were spoken, all the bigwigs from the Chilong Dynasty were dumbfounded!

The Cyan Armor Race was on the verge of conquering the entire Dongchen Continent, a testament to their immense power!

But Luo Tian had actually killed the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race Leader!

Having offended such a colossus, Luo Tian was surely dead. Not even the Yunxiao Sect could protect him now!

The respectful expressions on the faces of the dignitaries gradually vanished.

”Oh? So the Cyan Armor Race has arrived!”

Luo Tian walked out from the Void Ship.

Previously, he couldn’t even be bothered to act against Zheng Qingtian, letting the Mu Family Elders handle it.

But the Cyan Armor Race... Luo Tian was quite interested in them.

After all, they were a vassal force of the Sea Demon Palace!

They were the ones who had instigated the war across the entire Dongchen Continent!

Moreover, back when Luo Tian, Cheng Wanli, and Ye Feng left Dongchen and first entered the Outer World, they were attacked by the Cyan Armor Race and nearly wiped out!

It was then that Luo Tian killed the fifth son of the Cyan Armor Race Leader, Jin Lin, and only managed to escape by encountering the Void Ship of the Purple Scale Race!

BOOM! WHOOSH!

An incomparably terrifying aura erupted from the three members of the Cyan Armor Race, and monstrous waves of cyan energy swept out in all directions!

In the pavilion below, under the pressure of the three Cyan Armor Race members’ auras, the blood of the Chilong Dynasty’s dignitaries froze in their veins, and they trembled as they prostrated themselves!

”What a terrifying aura!”

”What cultivation level are these lords at?”

Everyone was terrified.

They felt that Luo Tian was surely done for this time. Even with two powerful backers, it would be useless!

”We pay our respects to the Cyan Armor Race!”

At this moment, the great figures of the Chilong Dynasty openly knelt and bowed to the Cyan Armor Race!

Luo Tian glanced over, a look of disgust on his face.

”Do you want me to handle this?”

the middle-aged woman asked.

Among the three Cyan Armor Race members, the strongest was only at the Half-step Celestial Pool Realm. She could deal with them easily.

”No, I’ll take care of these Cyan Armor Race members myself.”

Luo Tian flew out.

”If you can withstand three of my attacks, I’ll spare your life!”

Luo Tian sneered.

What?

The three members of the Cyan Armor Race were stunned!

Down below, the many dignitaries of the Chilong Dynasty were also completely dumbfounded!

Luo Tian was as arrogant as ever, daring to make such a bold claim even when facing the Cyan Armor Race!

These three lords from the Cyan Armor Race were so terrifyingly strong.

For Luo Tian to propose a three-attack agreement was simply absurd!

”Hahaha! A mere Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer dares to say such a thing. I really don’t know where you get your courage.”

The middle-aged man from the Cyan Armor Race roared with laughter.

’Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer?’

Zheng Qingtian was shocked. Luo Tian’s cultivation had progressed so rapidly!

However, the cultivation of these three Cyan Armor Race lords was clearly higher than Luo Tian’s. They might even be at the Celestial Pool Realm.

”Take this!”

Cyan energy waves roiled around the middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man, eventually coalescing into a thirty-meter-long cyan sea monster covered in dark cyan scale armor!

This scene stunned everyone present and alarmed the entire Flying Dragon Holy Mansion. Gasps of awe and admiration could be heard from all around!

ROAR!

The cyan sea monster roared, sending a wave of dark cyan water crashing out in all directions. Then, the monster charged toward Luo Tian, its gaping maw wide open!

Luo Tian floated in mid-air, his expression indifferent.

[Ice Nether Sword] was unsheathed, scattering a gloomy, cold light in all directions!

Shadowy Stab!

SHHNK!

A strange, pitch-black Sword Qi, cold and eerie, sliced through the void, emitting a deadly chill!

Luo Tian had also used his Void Yin Sword Intent!

SWISH! SHHNK!

In the next instant, a hole as thick as a baby’s arm appeared in the massive body of the cyan sea monster, running from its head to its tail.

Then, countless cracks appeared on the sea monster’s body before it shattered inch by inch, collapsing and dissipating into nothing!

”This...”

The middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man was flabbergasted!

’What terrifying swordsmanship! It completely shattered my attack!’

He could also tell that this sword strike was better suited for a sneak attack.

Luo Tian was attacking head-on right now. If this had been a sneak attack in the middle of a battle, the middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man wouldn’t have been able to block it.

He finally understood.

Luo Tian had proposed the three-attack agreement because he had immense confidence in his own strength!

Before, the middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man had been utterly disdainful, but now he acknowledged it.

”Two attacks left,”

the middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man said in a low voice.

”No, there are none,” Luo Tian said calmly, no longer looking at him.

The man suddenly sensed something. He reached up to touch his neck and found a hole that hadn’t been there before, with blood pouring out!

”No, how could this be...”

The middle-aged Cyan Armor Race man fell from the sky, his eyes wide with disbelief even in death.

In that last strike, Luo Tian had used his Void Yin Sword Intent, which could interfere with an enemy’s Spiritual Sense. That was why the man hadn’t even realized he had suffered a fatal wound at first.

His body fell right before the eyes of the Chilong Dynasty’s dignitaries, scaring them all witless!

’Impossible!’

’A powerful expert from the Cyan Armor Race was killed in one strike by Luo Tian!’

’An Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer had instant-killed a Half-step Celestial Pool Realm expert!’

Zheng Qingtian was stupefied with terror!

’How could this be happening?’

’Luo Tian wasn’t human, he was a devil!’

Zheng Qingtian had barely begun to process this when he felt Luo Tian’s gaze fall upon him.

THUMP! SLAP! THUD!

He immediately dropped to his knees, began slapping his face, and then kowtowed.

”Now, it’s your turn.”

Luo Tian said to the other two members of the Cyan Armor Race.

These two were both around the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer.

At this moment, their faces were filled with panic and terror!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

They transformed into streaks of cyan light, bursting forth with the greatest speed they had ever mustered in their lives, trying to escape.

SHHNK! SHHNK!

Luo Tian casually swung his sword twice. Two bright, snow-white Sword Lights, swirling with a biting cold wind, shot through the air!

The bodies of the two Cyan Armor Race members were sliced in half at the waist, falling to the ground in two pieces!

The three members of the Cyan Armor Race had come in a hurry and left in a hurry!

The dignitaries of the Chilong Dynasty stared blankly at the corpses of the three Cyan Armor Race members.

THUMP!

Someone fell to their knees and began to slap their face and kowtow.

A few others immediately followed suit, hoping to earn Luo Tian’s forgiveness.

”Before, I was planning to let you keep your pathetic lives, but now, you can all go die.”

Luo Tian completely ignored the scene unfolding before him.

He could not tolerate the betrayal of the Human Race!

The Human Race was not yet in a desperate situation. They still had the strength to resist, they still had hope, yet these people had surrendered to the Cyan Armor Race!

These people deserved to die!

SHHNK! SHHNK! SHHNK!

With a cold expression, Luo Tian swung his [Ice Nether Sword], each strike reaping at least one life!

Body after body fell to the ground.

Zheng Qingtian was also cut down by Luo Tian’s sword.

In the end, only a few people were left alive. They had not kneeled to the Cyan Armor Race earlier, and that had saved them.

The Red Dragon Monarch also survived by a stroke of luck. A moment ago, his pride as the King had made him hesitate to kneel, and this hesitation saved his pathetic life.

”Take the senior members of the Chilong Dynasty’s Royal Family and go to the Azure Cloud Kingdom to admit your wrongdoings and apologize.”

Luo Tian commanded.

The Red Dragon Monarch was stunned. ’What does this have to do with the Azure Cloud Kingdom?’ But he didn’t dare to ask.

”Yes, yes!”

”Thank you, Lord Luo, for sparing my life!”

The few survivors were moved to tears of gratitude. Not daring to delay for even a moment, they immediately sprang into action.
