Chapter 134: Crushing the Ninth Heavenly King

The Ninth Heavenly King roared: “What is a human Saint anyway? In my eyes you are all ants. Watch me grind you to dust!”

His demonic might surged like a mountain collapse and a tidal wave, sweeping straight ahead.

There was a soft pop as a thin thread of light, small as a grain of rice, pierced the sea of demonic energy and landed on his chest.

The elder Saint’s eyes flashed with fierce light as if countless worlds were ending and countless heavens were being born, carrying endless power of creation, and he shouted: “Five-Dragon Divine Talisman, Arrogant Dragon Has Regrets!”

With a boom, divine power erupted and opened a wide hole in the enemy’s chest.

The Ninth Heavenly King’s face changed wildly as he staggered back. His aura withered at once, and even the demonic sea dried up and faded like cloud and smoke.

There are gaps even among Saints. With just one exchange, the Ninth Heavenly King understood the elder’s depth; he feared he could not kill this old man alone. If he were not at such a realm, with life force so abundant he could regrow limbs and form a body from a drop of blood, that blow would already have decided the fight.

People of the human race cheered and waved their arms, shouting: “Saints are invincible!” In their eyes, even a Devil King was nothing special and looked fragile before their Saint.

You Jing Feng, his blood still hot even in old age, laughed and taunted: “Old geezer, do not get cocky. The real fight just started. If you have the guts, do not run!”

He raised his voice again with boyish bravado: “Whoever runs is the grandson!”

Facing a Devil Race king, how could he not be excited, how could he not rush to give it his all?

The Devil Race Heavenly King raged, feeling the elder’s scorn so clearly, and he barked: “Old cur, I will tear you into pieces and send your soul to the Devil Race so you can never find peace!”

The elder smiled and answered without fear: “Little demon whelp, do not put on a false front. It only makes you look weak.”

“Shut up,” the Devil King roared, and he cast a killing art: “Nine-Dragon Devil-Sky Slaughter!”

A chilling dragon chant swept the sky, and nine Black Dragons tore through the clouds. They clawed and bared their fangs with savage faces, as if to rip open the vast firmament and crush the figures below.

The elder laughed boldly, white brows and snow-white beard lifting in the wind as vigor, spirit, and flesh moved as one, and he said: “Nine dragons? I see nine worms.”

Daring to lead the world and look down on heroes, he lifted his hand. To deal with nine little worms, a True Dragon was not needed. A hidden dragon was enough.

His palm shone as he struck and called: “Five-Dragon Divine Talisman, Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act!”

A formless wave spread out, then slipped into the void and vanished from sight. Under everyone’s gaze, the nine Demon Dragons snapped in half together, as if cut by an invisible heavenly blade.

The Ninth Heavenly King’s face changed again and he backed up in a hurry. He could not track the elder’s attack at all, and warning bells rang loud in his heart.

He shouted to defend himself: “Heavenly Devil Umbrella!”

Left with no choice, he summoned his treasure to shield his body.

The elder snorted and mocked him: “Hiding in a turtle shell, and you think I cannot touch you?”

He sent out another light talisman and cried: “Five-Dragon Divine Talisman, Flying Dragon in the Heavens!”

Light fell like rain, gentle and smooth, and landed on the Heavenly Devil Umbrella. This move felt similar to Dragon Appears in the Field, yet its effect was the opposite. The former makes the formless take form, while Flying Dragon in the Heavens turns the formed into the formless and breaks all solid defenses.

The instant the umbrella was struck, it turned into a pure decoration, weaker than a sheet of paper. The formless wave of Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act slipped through the Heavenly Devil Umbrella and slammed the Ninth Heavenly King head-on, sending him flying with blood on his lips.

“Damn it,” he cursed, red flashing in his eyes. Even a Devil King could barely bear such hits. Their recovery was strong, but not without limits.

The elder sighed and mocked him: “I have not even started using my strength and you are already falling. What a disappointment. You little demon whelps really grow worse each generation.”

Zhou Tong could not help lifting the corner of his mouth. [This old man really has skill. If the Ninth Heavenly King does not call for help, he may be killed here.]

With that thought, Zhou Tong looked to the horizon. Under an Emperor Grade Spirit, even a Devil King could not escape his watch. At the edge of his vision, two powerful figures hid in secret. It was clear two more Devil Kings had arrived. From their posture, they were fishing with a long line, trying to lure out all the human experts so they could jump in and harvest at the end.

This was a grand setup. Saints were the chips on the table. If they lost, they would become bait for the other side to swallow. In such a game, the side that threw in more chips first would be the first to fall passive. So the two Devil Kings held back and did not act.

The Seventh Heavenly King watched Zhou Tong and spoke to the Eighth: “Old Eight, that kid looks a bit off. He seems to have noticed us.”

Eighth Heavenly King waved it off and said: “Seventh Brother, you are fine in all ways except you worry too much. We are in the dark and he is in the light. He cannot find us unless his spirit power surpasses the Saint realm. Do you think that is possible?”

Seventh thought, then nodded and said: “True enough. I am overthinking. We will keep waiting.”

Zhou Tong almost laughed. [Two turtle cowards still want to wait. Their little brother is about to be beaten to death, yet they keep hiding.]

[Since you can endure so much, I will throw on more fuel.] At his thought, the Grand Array of Lifeless Silence thundered. Light around Zhou Tong shone even brighter. He was about to fully grasp the array.

Zhao Wu Tian turned pale and lost his cool, shouting to the sky: “Devil King lords, stop that guy now!”

A cold voice answered with a sniff: “Hmph, it is only broken Array Arts.”

Zhao Wu Tian screamed in near madness: “It is not broken Array Arts. If he succeeds, even two Devil Kings will die here!”

The Seventh and Eighth Heavenly Kings heard him clearly. Eighth Heavenly King’s face turned gloomy and he said: “It seems the problem is real. It is my turn to enter.”

Not only they heard; even Tang Qi trembled all over, showing hatred and jealousy on his face. He hissed: “That bastard is about to become a Saint. I will never allow him to be so much stronger than me.”

Xia Hong Xiu’s voice, full of temptation, slid into his ear: “Junior brother, if you want to erase him, this is the best time. Miss this and we will never get another chance.”

Tang Qi nodded with cold light in his eyes and said: “I think so too. I will make him fall into Hell at the height of his pride.”

He opened his palm. A jade bead and a jade talisman lay there. He smirked: “Heavenly One Pearl, Chaos Fate Talisman. Time to send the Guest Elder down the Yellow Springs.”
