King of Ten Thousand Years

The grand army of the Cyan Armor Race, with its several Celestial Level Martial Artists and one hundred thousand soldiers, had laid a careful ambush to encircle and annihilate Luo Tian!

Even someone with Luo Tian’s heaven-defying abilities would find it impossible to escape death today.

”Hahaha, Luo Tian! Why don’t you come out and surrender?”

”Get out here! From now on, your life belongs to the Cyan Armor Race.”

Shouts rang out from within the four divisions of the Cyan Armor Race army.

Luo Tian had turned the tide on the battlefields of the Eastern and Northern Domains.

Their Clan Leader’s son had also died at Luo Tian’s hands.

Today, they could finally eliminate Luo Tian, and every member of the Cyan Armor Race felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Whoever could capture Luo Tian alive and hand him over to the Cyan Armor Race Leader would receive an even greater reward.

”Something’s not right!”

Commander-in-Chief Jin Haiwei’s eyes narrowed.

SWOOSH!

He flew out and waved his hand. An eerie cyan light swept forth, and the Void Ship’s Defense Shield, like paper, was torn to shreds with ease.

He swept the area with his Spiritual Sense!

Jin Haiwei discovered the ship was empty!

On the deck, however, a few large words were written: ”Guess where I am.”

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Members of the Cyan Armor Race surged forward from all directions. They instantly perceived the situation inside the ship and saw the writing on the deck.

”Damn it, we’ve been tricked!”

”That damn bastard is so cunning!”

”Guess where I am? Guess my ass!”

A chorus of curses erupted as the members of the Cyan Armor Race flew into a thunderous rage.

They had meticulously planned everything and thought victory was assured, only to find they had been played for fools.

It would have been one thing if only a few of them had been fooled.

But the entire grand army of the Cyan Armor Race had been fooled!

Intense shame and anger filled the hearts of every last one of them.

”Luo Tian, I don’t care where you are, I’m going to tear you limb from limb!”

A burly warrior roared.

Jin Haiwei fell into deep thought.

’This is obviously a ploy by Luo Tian.’

’But would Luo Tian really waste a Void Ship just to mess with us?’

’This Void Ship is worth three to four hundred thousand Spiritual Essence Coins!’

”Oh no... luring the tiger away from its mountain!”

Jin Haiwei’s expression changed drastically.

Based on Luo Tian’s message, he suddenly realized where Luo Tian might be!

He could hardly believe Luo Tian was so audacious!

”Back to the city! Quickly!”

Jin Haiwei bellowed.

However, the Cyan Armor Race’s grand army had only traveled a short distance before running into the Dongchen army, led by Chairman Long!

”We’re too late!”

Chairman Long sighed.

He just didn’t know if Luo Tian and the others were dead or had been captured.

If it was the latter, a rescue was still possible.

The commanders of the Dongchen army were surprised to find that the Cyan Armor Race seemed to have little will to fight and were in a hurry to leave.

Although the Dongchen army lacked confidence against the sheer might of the Cyan Armor Race’s forces, they couldn’t just stand by and let them leave. That would be far too cowardly.

”Kill!”

An unprecedented battle was about to erupt!

...

「Meanwhile.」

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Luo Tian and the two Mu Family Elders streaked across the sky, and a city appeared in their sights.

”Longyun City is just ahead!”

Luo Tian’s gaze sharpened.

Longyun City had once been an incredibly vast and prosperous city.

But the Cyan Armor Race had invaded, massacring its people and seizing it as a vital stronghold.

Now, Longyun City served as the main garrison for the Cyan Armor Race forces in the Southern and Western Domains!

”But I wonder how many troops are left here now?”

Luo Tian said with a smile.

’Time for another massacre!’

”Hold on. Let me go scout ahead to make sure there are no surprises.”

The red-faced elder said.

’Attacking the Cyan Armor Race’s main stronghold directly is too insane, too risky.’

’If the Cyan Armor Race didn’t take the bait, the three of us would just be walking to our deaths.’

”No need.”

Luo Tian shook his head.

He had already deduced that the Cyan Armor Race’s main army had been lured away. The plan was a success.

He wouldn’t have taken such a risk otherwise.

In fact, a ”lure the tiger from the mountain” ploy is typically very difficult to pull off.

First, there aren’t many targets that the Cyan Armor Race would deem important enough to pursue.

Second, the number of targets can’t be too large, otherwise word might get out.

And on top of that, bait must be left behind and sacrificed.

The ”Death Nightmare” fit the criteria perfectly.

Luo Tian and the two Mu Family Elders—just three people—could easily slip away, leaving the Cyan Armor Race completely unable to confirm what had happened.

In the end, no one was sacrificed, only a single ship.

SWOOSH... SWOOSH...

As the trio neared Longyun City, they suddenly launched their attack!

Three terrifying auras erupted in the sky. In an instant, two heaven-shaking blasts of Palm Force and one peerlessly sharp Sword Light rained down!

VMMMM-BOOM!

A white barrier of light surrounding Longyun City blocked the Attack. Ripples spread across its surface as sparks flew!

”Enemy attack!”

”Activate the Defense Array at full power!”

Shouts instantly echoed from within Longyun City!

Longyun City’s Defense Array couldn’t compare to the one at Bishui Palace.

Large, powerful Arrays weren’t easy to set up. Given enough time, the Cyan Armor Race might have been able to deploy a Sect Protection Array even greater than that of Bishui Palace.

Furthermore, Longyun City’s great Array was normally kept in a low-power state, its defensive capabilities operating at only sixty to seventy percent.

This was the perfect opportunity for Luo Tian and the others to break through!

Inside Longyun City.

A short, stout man flew out, his small eyes glinting with a cold light.

”Just three people dare to attack Longyun City? They’re simply courting death!”

The stout man shouted coldly.

He then got a clear look at the attackers and realized one of them was none other than Luo Tian!

’Didn’t the main army go to ambush Luo Tian?’

’By all rights, Luo Tian should be dead by now. Why is he here?’

’The ”lure the tiger from the mountain” ploy.’

The stout man realized it in an instant.

’Humans are so damn cunning.’

But the stout man also felt Luo Tian was being foolish.

The ”lure the tiger” ploy had succeeded, but it was completely useless.

’First of all, it’s questionable whether Luo Tian’s group of three can even break the Array.’

’Even if they do, three people are hardly a threat.’

’The Cyan Armor Race’s main army may have been lured away...’

’...but thirty thousand troops are still stationed here in Longyun City.’

Suddenly, Luo Tian and his two companions outside the Array adjusted their positions and attacked in unison!

In less than three breaths of time... three holes were suddenly blasted through the Defense Array.

In that instant, the entire Array’s operation fell into disarray. Its surface twisted and warped, its light flickered erratically, and then it vanished entirely.

”Those were really the weak points in the Array!”

The red-faced elder exclaimed.

He and the middle-aged woman had both attacked the spots Luo Tian had indicated.

He never expected Luo Tian to also be knowledgeable about Arrays, disabling the entire Defense Array in a single coordinated strike!

Back inside Longyun City.

”Sir, this is bad! The Array has malfunctioned and can’t be activated at full power!”

A panicked voice cried out.

The Array Masters were baffled; the enemy had broken the Array before they could even activate it at full power.

”How could this happen?”

The stout man was in disbelief.

”The enemy seemed to know the Array’s weak points. They forced it to break. It will take several days before the Array can be activated again.”

A subordinate reported.

”You useless trash! You can’t even manage a simple Array!”

The stout man roared in fury.

”All troops, on my command—kill!”

The stout man bellowed.

Two Celestial Pool Realm experts were stationed in Longyun City. His own Cultivation was at the Peak of the Celestial Pool Realm First Layer, and the other was at the Celestial Pool Realm First Layer.

Furthermore, the army left to defend Longyun City numbered close to thirty thousand, including more than ten Half-step Celestial Pool Realm experts and fifty to sixty at the High Tier Earth Element Realm.

In terms of numbers, the Cyan Armor Race’s side was terrifying. Even a Celestial Pool Realm expert wouldn’t be able to withstand a sky-blotting barrage of attacks from so many.

’So the Array is broken, so what? What can a paltry group of three possibly do?’

”Let’s start killing. There are quite a few of them, though.”

Luo Tian said to the two Mu Family Elders.

”Right. We shouldn’t be careless. We can just take our time and maneuver around them.”

The red-faced elder said.

Their individual strength gave them an absolute advantage, but the enemy numbers were too great. If he were to be submerged in a sea of attacks, even his Cultivation at the Celestial Pool Realm Second Layer could lead to severe injury or death.

Their greatest advantage was their speed. Guerrilla tactics were the most suitable approach; by slowly wearing them down, they could eventually kill all the Cyan Armor Race members in Longyun City.

”Hey, Luo!”

To his dismay, the red-faced elder saw Luo Tian charge directly into the enemy ranks.

’He completely ignored my warning!’

”Kill him!”

Seeing Luo Tian practically serve himself up on a platter, the stout man’s face lit up with delight.

’It seems Luo Tian is truly arrogant beyond measure, thinking himself invincible.’

RUMBLE! WHOOSH!

A sky-blotting wave of attacks descended, turning everything in sight into a resplendent, multicolored light show of deafening explosions.

Silver light burst from Luo Tian’s body as he fully activated his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body, making him look like a flawless silver crystal!

”Celestial Furnace Treasure Shield!”

Luo Tian executed the Defensive Combat Skill, and a massive, translucent silver shield materialized before him!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

After taking countless attacks head-on, Luo Tian was knocked back several dozen meters!

But his body was completely unscathed!

This was the advantage of a Body Refiner. Once one’s physical Defense reached a certain level, they could ignore all attacks!

Sheer numbers would become meaningless.

In that moment, Luo Tian felt as if he had been submerged in the ocean—an uncomfortable sensation, but he was unharmed.

”This...”

Everyone present was stunned. Sharp intakes of breath could be heard as horrified gazes fell upon Luo Tian.

”That kid... he can’t be human, can he?”

The stout man’s face turned pale.

’How could a human possibly possess such a powerful physique?’

”Kill!”

Luo Tian brandished the Ice Nether Sword, unleashing whirlwind-like slashes of Sword Light thirty to forty meters long!

SHLICK! SPLAT!

With that single strike, more than ten members of the Cyan Armor Race were brutally slain!

Luo Tian had yet to break through to the Celestial Pool Realm, but his destructive power was no different from someone who had!

A storm of death gradually formed around Luo Tian. Everywhere he went, blood splattered as he annihilated everything in his path.

In the rear, the two Mu Family Elders snapped out of their stupor.

The scene before them was simply too shocking!

It seemed that, given enough time, Luo Tian could handle all of this by himself.

One man against ten thousand!
