King of Ten Thousand Years

Inside the old castle, the situation, which had been unfavorable for the Sea Hunter Race, was instantly overturned.

Jing Yuan broke free from the shackles of the Mist Ghost Eyes’ Spiritual Illusion Realm, stunning everyone present. The geniuses from the Dongchen Continent’s Spirit List had fallen into a perilous situation.

"Why isn’t Luo Tian here yet?"

The Yellow-robed Man’s face was pale, his expression urgent.

"Luo Tian must have run away!"

Jiang Daoyun speculated.

"Heh heh, so the one who attacked my junior brother is named Luo Tian? The sounds of battle over there have already stopped. He shouldn’t have had a chance to escape. I’m afraid he was killed in a counter-attack."

Jing Yuan sneered, his face twisted into a vicious expression.

...

Luo Tian pinned the archer from the Sea Hunter Race under his foot. After some interrogation, he had obtained a lot of information.

These few members of the Sea Hunter Race were from the Sea Demon Palace.

The trial Secret Realm was originally about to open, but another "major power" had used formidable means to forcibly seize the Secret Realm Space.

The Sea Demon Palace had sent five disciples from the Sea Hunter Race to investigate the situation.

"Where is the Sea Demon Palace?" Luo Tian asked next.

"How ridiculous. You don’t even know of the Sea Demon Palace? The Sea Demon Palace is one of the Overlord Level powers in the ’Broken-star Realm.’ What power do you belong to? You will definitely meet a terrible end for offending our Sea Demon Palace!"

The archer sneered.

With his Primordial Pool shattered and his Cultivation crippled, he had already given up all hope for his life and hated Luo Tian to the bone.

’Broken-star Realm?’

Luo Tian had never heard of it before. He then asked, "How strong are the upper echelons of the Sea Demon Palace?"

"Hmph, the Sea Demon Palace has dozens of Celestial Level Martial Artists, and it is even presided over by a True Martial Realm expert!"

’True Martial Realm?’

Luo Tian’s heart trembled.

On the Dongchen Continent, Celestial Level Martial Artists were extremely rare and seldom seen. The True Martial Realm, which was above the Celestial Pool Realm, was completely unheard of.

Furthermore, the number of Celestial Level Martial Artists in the Sea Demon Palace was extraordinary.

’This power could easily sweep across the entire Dongchen Continent. It’s truly terrifying!’

’I’d better kill someone to calm my nerves.’

SHIING!

With a flick of his finger, Luo Tian sent a strand of Sword Qi that sliced off the archer’s head.

"What’s a True Martial Realm Martial King? Once I recover my peak strength, I can kill one with a single breath," the Crow said nonchalantly, tilting its head back.

"But a Martial King could kill you with a single breath right now."

Luo Tian rolled his eyes. The Crow was so angry it was practically fuming, but it had no rebuttal.

Next, he took the archer’s Storage Ring and his bow and arrows.

He activated the Shadow Cloak once more, drew close to the old castle, and simultaneously pulled back the bowstring.

Although Luo Tian had never practiced Archery, he was still a Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm. His control over weapons wasn’t that poor. While he couldn’t hit the bullseye every time, he wasn’t a complete amateur either.

Luo Tian’s Spiritual Sense could currently cover a radius of over two hundred meters.

The darkness of the night had no effect on his Spiritual Sense, and Luo Tian locked onto Jing Yuan.

WHOOSH!

In the dead of night, a soul-shaking, ear-piercing sound of something tearing through the air, carrying an aura of cold death, suddenly rang out as it approached the old castle.

Inside the old castle, Jing Yuan sent Shangguan Su flying with a palm strike. The latter landed in a corner, blood trickling from his mouth, his face slightly pale.

Jing Yuan’s strength was too terrifying. Shangguan Su felt he was even slightly stronger than Qi Yuntian.

Just then, the sound of an arrow piercing the air arrived.

"Hahaha, it seems my junior brother has killed Luo Tian."

Jing Yuan threw his head back and laughed.

The faces of Shangguan Su, Yi Jingwen, and the others turned dim as grief, indignation, and despair spread among them.

’Is he really dead?’

Yi Jingwen sighed in her heart.

’Even Tu Kai couldn’t kill Luo Tian, so how could he possibly be killed by a Sea Hunter Race member at the Earth Element Realm First Layer?’

But suddenly, "Hm?"

Jing Yuan let out a surprised sound.

WHOOSH!

An arrow covered in barbs was shooting toward his chest!

"Bastard, who are you shooting at? Are you blind?"

Jing Yuan roared angrily and struck out with his palm. A brilliant blue-purple glow erupted, shattering the arrow.

At that very moment, a snow-white, crystalline Sword Qi, swirling with a biting cold wind and exuding the intent of a frozen sky, slashed down from the dark night.

"What?"

Jing Yuan’s face fell in shock.

He had just shattered the arrow, and Luo Tian’s sword was already upon him. It was difficult to strike again to defend himself.

Jing Yuan flew backward in retreat as his True Essence surged out, forming a blue-purple True Essence Shield around his body.

CLANG! BOOM!

Luo Tian’s ice-cold, sharp sword slashed down in an instant.

The coldness spread, freezing the True Essence Shield and lowering its defensive capabilities. It was then instantly shattered by the Sword Light.

At this moment, Jing Yuan hastily struck, a blue-purple light erupting from his palm to block Luo Tian’s sword!

But this was a charged-up strike from Luo Tian, delivered with his full power. It was incomparably sharp and continued to cut through everything.

SCHLICK!

A bloody gash was left on the palms of both of Jing Yuan’s hands.

The next instant, a graceful figure descended from the sky—it was Luo Tian.

"Luo Tian!"

"Luo Tian is here!"

The few surviving geniuses from the Spirit List were all overjoyed, as if they had just seen their savior.

The moment Luo Tian appeared, he had injured Jing Yuan, giving everyone hope.

"You killed my junior brother?"

Jing Yuan’s eyes fixed on Luo Tian with a sinister glint as he released his killing intent.

’A Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm actually killed a Sea Hunter Race member at the Earth Element Realm First Layer. This is simply unbelievable.’

"Isn’t it obvious?"

Luo Tian retorted, then immediately thrust his sword toward Jing Yuan.

His goal at this moment wasn’t to rescue the geniuses from the Dongchen Continent’s Spirit List, but to launch a counter-attack against the Sea Hunter Race!

"You’re courting death!"

Jing Yuan flew into a rage, and streams of blue-purple light began to boil around him.

BOOM!

An immense Palm Force, wreathed in streams of blue-purple qi, illuminated the night with an eerie, bone-chilling light as it pressed down with overwhelming power.

’I was only injured just now because Luo Tian ambushed me and I was careless.’

Now, he would kill Luo Tian first.

BAM!

The ferocious and terrifying blue-purple Palm Light shattered Luo Tian’s Sword Light and continued its relentless advance!

This scene made the hearts of many geniuses present tremble.

"Junior Luo, be careful!"

Yi Jingwen shouted.

They had personally experienced Jing Yuan’s strength. Among the prodigies, only Shangguan Su could affect him with his Pupil Technique; in a direct confrontation, he was almost completely crushed!

"He just loves to show off. Wouldn’t it have been better to find Qi Yuntian? If he dies, he can’t blame us!"

Jiang Daoyun snorted coldly.

He had already prepared to retreat at a moment’s notice.

Luo Tian didn’t retreat in the slightest!

He fully activated his Sword Intent Prototype. A boundless, ice-cold, and piercing Sword Momentum erupted, resonating with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and stirring the winds in all directions.

"Nine Heavens Sword Technique Sixth Technique, Sword Wind Howl!"

An incomparably fierce Sword Light kicked up a terrifying, biting gale, letting out a furious roar that shook the heavens!

This was Luo Tian’s strongest Sword Technique!

’This technique?’

Jing Yuan was flabbergasted.

The sword attack Luo Tian was currently unleashing was definitely not something a Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could perform.

’Among this group of weak-as-a-dog humans, there’s actually such an expert?’

BOOM! PFFT!

The Blue-Purple Light Palm and the Ice Cold Mad Sword collided violently, setting off an explosion. Streams of blue-purple qi and cold Sword Light rippled out in all directions.

From within the explosion, an imposing Cold Wind Sword Light shot out, rapidly closing in on Jing Yuan!

"How is this possible?"

Jing Yuan was utterly astonished.

He had already felt it was somewhat disgraceful to use his full power against a mere Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, but the result was that he was actually at a disadvantage!

BAM!

Jing Yuan threw out a palm strike, shattering the Cold Wind Sword Light, his face turning grim.

The nearby Sea Hunter Race member at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer was even more shocked!

’With Senior Brother Jing’s strength, he actually can’t handle a mere human at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm?’

"Your strength is a little bit weaker than Tu Kai’s."

Luo Tian stated calmly.

"Tu Kai? You’ve fought him?"

Jing Yuan asked back, his expression a mixture of shock and doubt.

"Just another one of my defeated opponents."

Luo Tian’s gaze was cold, his expression indifferent.

Jing Yuan’s eyes widened, revealing his astonishment and intense disbelief!

Tu Kai’s strength was indeed a bit stronger than his. But for Luo Tian to claim that Tu Kai was his defeated opponent... how was that possible?

Yet, Luo Tian’s words didn’t sound like a lie at all.

"Mist Ghost Eyes!"

Behind them, Shangguan Su keenly sensed an opportunity and activated his Pupil Technique.

A ghostly light surged within his eyes, as if they had transformed into a fog-shrouded, Gloomy Ghost Realm that sent shivers down the spine.

A dark, Yin Cold spiritual aura transformed into roiling, bone-chilling black mist that seeped through the void and converged on Jing Yuan.

In an instant, Jing Yuan felt a vast and cold Spiritual Power crash down upon him. His gaze was involuntarily drawn to Shangguan Su’s Mist Ghost Eyes, and his vision seemed to sink into that Gloomy Ghost Realm.

The surrounding scenery began to blur.

’Not good!’

Jing Yuan immediately sensed that things were bad.

With Luo Tian here, his situation would become dire if he fell into the Illusion Realm.

Jing Yuan gathered his Spiritual Power, attempting to break through the Spiritual Illusion Realm.

At this moment, he could still vaguely perceive his body and the outside world. He felt an incomparably sharp Sword Qi coming to kill him!

BAM!

Jing Yuan acted purely on instinct, circulating his True Essence to launch an Attack and deliver a powerful palm strike!

But trapped in the illusion, many of his perceptions were false.

In reality, Jing Yuan had only crudely used a bit of True Essence to execute a substandard palm strike that was even slightly off-target.

BAM! SHLICK!

His Palm Technique barely grazed Luo Tian’s Sword Technique, reducing its power by thirty to forty percent.

Afterward, Luo Tian’s sword descended, striking Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan was wearing a Defensive Treasure Armor that blocked most of the damage, but his neck and thigh were still injured, and blood gushed out.

"Argh!"

The intense pain and the acute sense of crisis allowed Jing Yuan to break free from the Illusion Realm just in time.

He immediately staunched the bleeding from his wounds, his face twisted viciously as his eyes, blazing with fury, swept over Luo Tian and Shangguan Su!

"Again!"

Luo Tian called out softly to Shangguan Su.

Shangguan Su understood perfectly. His Mist Ghost Eyes remained locked on Jing Yuan as a vast, cold Spiritual Power continuously seeped toward him.

Under these circumstances, Jing Yuan could only exert sixty to seventy percent of his strength.

Combined with his recent injuries, his strength would fall even further.

"Kill!"

Luo Tian seized the opportunity to attack. In an instant, a dozen sharp, ice-crystal Sword Qi bloomed in the night, exuding the intent of a frozen sky.

He channeled his full power into the Celestial Sword Technique, using an Amplification Sword Skill to boost its might, while simultaneously comprehending the Second-Layer, "Ruyi Realm."

The Ruyi Realm was a state where one’s Swordsmanship transcended the rigid forms of Sword Skills, allowing for fluid, unpredictable, and minutely precise application.

SHLICK! SHLICK!

In the instant they clashed, two more gashes appeared on Jing Yuan’s arm.

After all, it was a team-up between two great prodigies. Furthermore, Luo Tian’s Strongest Sword Dao and Shangguan Su’s spiritual interference were a perfect combination.

Jing Yuan was completely suppressed, finding it difficult to even escape.

His entire body was being eroded by the cold intent, and he was also being hampered by the Mist Ghost Eyes.

"Senior Brother Jing!"

The Sea Hunter Race member at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer shouted, wanting to provide support, but Yi Jingwen, the Yellow-robed Man, and the other disciples were using all their strength to hold him back.

He could only watch helplessly as Jing Yuan’s injuries grew more and more severe, his defeat already sealed.
