King of Ten Thousand Years

Luo Tian wasn’t the least bit worried about eliminating Zhou Yuquan.

He would let Zhou Yuquan enjoy the feeling of being hunted for a while longer.

To clear out the Cyan Armor Race remnants in the Eastern Domain, Luo Tian was only responsible for consulting the Celestial Book and performing Inference on their whereabouts. The two Mu Family Elders would handle cleaning up the trash.

Everything was very easy.

The two Mu Family Elders also found it quite easy, though they were getting a bit tired of constantly sweeping up trash.

”I’m going into seclusion. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Luo Tian said to the two Mu Family Elders.

The two weren’t exactly willing to do such a menial task, but they still agreed.

Just then.

Luo Tian took out several expensive Cultivation Treasures targeted at Low Tier Celestial Level Martial Artists.

”Consider this half of the payment, delivered in advance,” Luo Tian said.

The red-faced old man’s and the middle-aged woman’s eyes widened, and smiles appeared on their faces.

”No problem.”

”Go into seclusion without any worries. Leave clearing out the remnants to us.”

The two said hurriedly.

When Luo Tian walked into the cabin, the two immediately stared at the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in their hands, their hearts pounding with excitement.

”A Celestial Spirit Fruit, Narcissus Green Mist Grass... and even a Cloud Mist Celestial Snow Flower, which was thought to be extinct!”

”This alone makes the whole trip worthwhile.”

”Don’t be ridiculous. I’m definitely getting the other half.”

...

Luo Tian returned to his room to enter seclusion.

It had been nearly half a year since he returned to Dongchen.

His Cultivation had been steadily increasing.

During this month of clearing out remnants, Luo Tian had also cultivated frequently and could already feel the threshold of the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer.

As far as Luo Tian knew.

The wars in the Eastern and Northern Domains weren’t particularly fierce.

The real major battlefields were in the Southern and Western Domains.

According to intelligence from the Celestial Ring Alliance, the strongest among the enemy had a Cultivation at the Peak of Celestial Pool Realm Second Layer!

Luo Tian’s hope of ending the war quickly probably wouldn’t be so easy to achieve.

Since he could now raise his Cultivation Realm, Luo Tian entered seclusion to break through to the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer.

Paying the Mu Family Elders half of their reward was also done in the hope that their strength would increase, which would help end the war sooner.

Inside the room.

Many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were laid out before Luo Tian.

Circulating the Celestial Essence Water Condensation Technique, Luo Tian crazily absorbed the essence from the Medicinal Power to advance his Cultivation.

...

「Two months passed.」

Eighty to ninety percent of the Cyan Armor Race remnants in the Eastern Domain had been wiped out. Only a few remained, scurrying and hiding like rats.

A saying also began to circulate in the Eastern Domain.

There was a large dark blue ship, known by names like ”The Nightmare of Death” and ”Cyan Armor Star.”

The number of Cyan Armor Race remnants who died because of it was countless.

This ship was the Cyan Armor Race’s nightmare.

There was also a saying among the Cyan Armor Race: ”When you see that ship, prepare to rest in peace.”

In a hidden, dense forest.

Suddenly, an explosion and screams rang out, followed by the spreading stench of blood.

A dozen or so breaths later.

”They’re dealt with!”

”Let’s go!”

Having cleaned up the remnants, the two Mu Family Elders returned to the Void Ship and headed to the next location.

Just then.

From within the ship’s cabin, a strong and distinct fluctuation of aura surged out, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed toward it!

”He broke through!”

The middle-aged woman gave it a deep look.

”What a powerful aura. What kind of Cultivation Technique is he practicing? I’m afraid the strength of his True Essence is no weaker than a Celestial Pool Realm’s!”

The red-faced old man sighed.

Luo Tian’s gains in the Thief King’s Treasure Land had been astonishing. The two wouldn’t have been surprised even if he was practicing a King Level Technique.

The secrets and treasures on Luo Tian were enough to make most Low Tier Celestial Pool Realm cultivators risk everything to kill him for his loot!

But the red-faced old man and the middle-aged woman had only occasionally thought about it in the past; they had no such intentions now.

They were well aware of Luo Tian’s strength.

Now that he had broken through a Small Realm to reach the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer, his strength would rise to another level.

Even if the red-faced old man tried to kill Luo Tian, he might fail.

And if Luo Tian had some other powerful trump card, they would be the ones getting killed instead.

「A few more days passed.」

Luo Tian ended his seclusion.

”What’s the situation?” he asked.

”Only a few rats are left scurrying around. They’re no longer a threat,”

The red-faced old man said.

”We haven’t found Zhou Yuquan,”

the middle-aged woman added.

Luo Tian closed his eyes slightly and began making calculations with his fingers.

A few breaths later, he opened his eyes with the result. ”He’s in the Northern Domain.”

The two Mu Family Elders glanced at each other.

’Luo Tian even knows how to do this?’

They quickly accepted it. Luo Tian’s ability to clearly know the remnants’ hidden strongholds must have been through Inference.

’This is the terrifying power of a Destiny Dao Cultivator.’

Their assessment of Luo Tian rose yet again.

’If we tried to harm Luo Tian, he might figure it out before we could even make a move.’

”Let’s go. We’ll sweep through the Northern Domain while we’re at it.”

Luo Tian looked up toward the north.

The reinforcement army from the Northern Domain back then was only a fraction of their forces.

A Celestial Pool Realm cultivator and a small portion of the army were still garrisoned in the Northern Domain.

Otherwise, Zhou Yuquan wouldn’t have fled there.

「A few days later.」

The Void Ship known as ”The Nightmare of Death” and ”Cyan Armor Star” arrived in the Northern Domain!

...

In the Northern Domain, at the heart of a land of green mountains and jade waters, lay an immensely vast lake.

From the lake’s edge, one couldn’t see the other side and might even mistake it for an ocean.

Bishui Palace was located on the central island of this lake.

Of course.

A portion of the Cyan Armor Race’s army was also here.

After all, Bishui Palace had already surrendered to the Cyan Armor Race.

SWOOSH!

A member of the Cyan Armor Race hurriedly arrived outside a bedchamber, knelt on one knee, and said, ”Elder Yu, this subordinate has an urgent matter to report!”

A moment later.

A green-faced man walked out, his arms wrapped around two disheveled female disciples of Bishui Palace.

”Speak!”

the green-faced man snapped unhappily.

Anyone would be in a bad mood if they were interrupted while enjoying the company of beautiful women.

”That Void Ship... it has come to the Northern Domain.”

The subordinate said with a tremor in his voice.

”What Void Ship has come to the Northern Domain?”

The green-faced man’s expression was frivolous; he hadn’t yet grasped the situation.

”The Nightmare of Death?”

The green-faced man’s expression changed drastically as he cried out in alarm.

A long time ago, he had heard about the events on the Eastern Domain battlefield.

Afterwards, he sent a request for reinforcements but didn’t give it much thought, continuing to enjoy himself in Bishui Palace. There were just too many tender young female disciples here.

”Those people from the Yunxiao Sect are too arrogant! How dare they come to the Northern Domain!”

The green-faced man’s expression turned grim.

He was still somewhat afraid of that Void Ship.

His Cultivation was only at the Celestial Pool Realm First Layer. Both the green-haired old woman and the middle-aged man in Black Armor were stronger than him, yet they had both died in the Eastern Domain.

”No need to worry. This Bishui Palace is easy to defend and hard to attack. Even if the Yunxiao Sect comes, they won’t be able to do anything to us.”

The green-faced man calmed down.

「That same day.」

He gave the order for Bishui Palace to go on full alert!

Zhou Yuquan was also in Bishui Palace.

When he heard the news, he was restless with anxiety.

”Luo Tian, you’re trying to exterminate me completely!”

Zhou Yuquan’s face was filled with resentment.

He now looked much older, his spirit broken.

’No, I have to get away from this kid!’

Having witnessed Luo Tian’s journey, Zhou Yuquan felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He no longer wanted revenge; he just wanted to cherish his Life and stay far away from Luo Tian.

「Ten days later!」

”Activate the Sect Protection Array!”

A great shout echoed from within Bishui Palace. Waves churned on the lake’s surface as a layer of azure light rose, forming a circular barrier that enveloped the entire palace!

Not long after.

A Dark Blue Void Ship appeared in the distant sky!

The three of them—Luo Tian and the two elders—stood on the deck.

”Surprisingly, they didn’t run,” Luo Tian said with a smile.

”Run? You brat, you think too highly of yourself!”

From within Bishui Palace, the green-faced man walked out and sneered contemptuously.

”You’re just relying on two Celestial Level Martial Artists! Without their help, you’re nothing!”

The green-faced man didn’t take Luo Tian seriously.

What he was truly worried about were the two Mu Family Elders.

BOOM! WHOOSH!

The two Mu Family Elders soared into the air and launched an Attack against Bishui Palace’s Array!

A majestic, crimson Palm Force and a hazy, jade-green Palm Shadow descended from the sky, striking the azure light barrier!

VMM! WHOOSH!

The area where the two Palm Techniques struck began to distort.

But immediately after, a vortex of ripples appeared, and the power of the two Palm Techniques was diverted and dispersed by the Array.

In the end, the Array safely withstood the Attack from the two Mu Family Elders.

”Hahaha! It’s useless! You can’t break through.”

The green-faced man burst into laughter.

Bishui Palace’s Sect Protection Array had no offensive capabilities, but its defensive power was immense!

Even a Celestial Pool Realm Third Layer cultivator wouldn’t be able to break the Array in a short amount of time!

”Luo Tian, this Array is extraordinary. It will be difficult for us to break through it.”

The red-faced old man said, turning around.

If it were the entire Yunxiao Sect army, they could break the Array within two days by relying on their numbers for a sustained Attack.

But with only the three of them, attacking continuously for days would be useless.

Luo Tian’s gaze narrowed.

He had long heard of Bishui Palace’s Sect Protection Array.

When the Cyan Armor Race broke through Bishui Palace, they had done so by slowly infiltrating and dismantling it from the inside, not through a frontal assault.

It seemed unrealistic for Luo Tian and the others to resolve the situation here in a short time.

”Luo Tian, you killed the Cyan Armor Race Leader’s fifth son. You may be living carefree now, but soon, you will taste despair.”

The green-faced man’s voice was laced with Yin Cold.

The situations in both the Northern and Eastern Domains had been overturned by Luo Tian. He wished for nothing more than to kill Luo Tian immediately!

”Then I’ll let you taste despair first.”

Luo Tian said indifferently.

”Hahaha! Fine! Go ahead and let me taste it if you have the guts!”

The green-faced man laughed arrogantly.

’I’m hiding in here. What can Luo Tian possibly do to me?’

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian flew out, positioning himself directly above Bishui Palace’s Sect Protection Array!

”Luo Tian, the two of us couldn’t break the Sect Protection Array even when we joined forces. What are you trying to do?”

the red-faced old man shouted.

’Luo Tian just broke through a Small Realm. He can’t be this arrogant, can he?’

Luo Tian ignored the red-faced old man.

He took out a piece of Blue Jade that exuded a cold, ancient aura, its surface covered in faint, scale-like patterns.

This was the ”Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone.” It contained a vast amount of Ice Power, which, once released, would cause a devastating catastrophe!

Before.

Luo Tian could only use this stone to temper his physique and enhance his Nether Dragon Divine Vein.

But now that his Cultivation had reached the Peak of Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer, he could use certain methods to mobilize a portion of the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone’s power!

Several blue spikes of light, dozens of meters long, suddenly shot out from the Ice Dragon Celestial Cold Stone!

Then, a tyrannical Cold Power suddenly spread out. Within it, a hundred-meter-long Ice Giant Dragon could be faintly seen, twisting and swimming, exuding a supreme, icy draconic might!

The green-faced man tilted his head back to size up Luo Tian, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

But the moment he looked up.

He was stunned with fright.

His pupils contracted violently!

’What the hell is going on?’

His blood seemed to freeze in his veins as his body trembled, and a thick sense of unease washed over him.
