Chapter 317 Competition

Blood Shura was dead! Even his storage treasure had been obliterated! Only his battle saber could be seen flying into the distance .

King True Martial watched the outcome with a slightly-pale face . True Martial Seven Absolutes—Annihilation Fist-was a forbidden technique . He had executed the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation . Annihilation Fist was the strongest move King True Martial had created; it could vanquish enemies with a single punch!

He had even created another forbidden technique–Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation-based on Annihilation Fist . It required him to deliver ten consecutive strikes instantly . This placed a great burden on his body and Quintessential Essence . It was more difficult than delivering 100 normal punches instantly . After executing the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation, King True Martial suffered significant injuries . His dantian space had suffered damage . Even at his cultivation realm, he still needed to recuperate slowly .

“What?” The black dragon-which had been sent flying—was shocked by the sight .

He and Blood Shura had dominated the Demon Realm for many years . Yet, he had been killed by a Regis Godfiend today? Patriarch Poison Dragon knew very well how powerful Blood Shura’s body was . There weren’t many entities in the Demon Realm that could kill Blood Shura . Only a number of demon sages could accomplish the feat .

Blood Shura died just like that?

Having arrived high up on a mountain, the fire pheasant trio—who were hidden in the void—was also shocked . Blood Shura earned his fame from his kills . The strength of a Shura Body had been proven by generations of experts that followed the Shura cultivation system, yet King True Martial destroyed him in a head-on clash?

“How powerful . We must not clash head-on with King True Martial,” said the demon dragon solemnly as he watched from afar .

“Although my body is strong, I’m inferior to Blood Shura . ” The ox demon monarch was extremely afraid .

“All we need to do is wait . When we find an opportunity and seize the Origins treasure, we will flee immediately . ” The fire pheasant was confident in her speed .

The demon dragon and ox demon monarch agreed as well . They planned on fleeing upon seizing the treasure . King True Martial was… too terrifying . They didn’t have the confidence to fight him head-on .

Oh? The fire pheasant trio was suddenly alarmed . The mountain below had stopped rising

Whoosh . King True Martial waved his hand and stored away the battle saber left behind by Blood Shura .

“Impressive,” said King Calm Sea sincerely as he looked at King True Martial .

“It’s all thanks to you, Junior Brother Xue . ” King True Martial’s face was pale as he said with a smile, “Although I created this forbidden move of mine, it has a fatal flaw . Even if I were to deliver ten consecutive punches, the amount of time it takes to fuse them would be several times longer than trying to fuse normal punches into one . When an enemy notices that something is amiss, they will escape! With your Spring Autumn Tribulation affecting the flow of time, I was able to execute this move several-fold faster than before . That prevented Blood Shura from escaping . ” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought .

Yes . The time it took to complete this move was indeed a weakness . King Calm Sea had made up for this weakness, making it even more terrifying

“Your strength is in no way inferior to a true Creation realm expert,” said King Calm Sea . He didn’t say anything else .

A true Creation realm expert? King True Martial felt mixed emotions . He only had such accomplishment due to his many opportunities—a damaged token from Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven, Grandsire Yin Yang’s ultimate technique, and the demon heritage he had obtained from killing demons . Most importantly, he had cultivated for over 300 years! He had once been highly favored by Archean Mountain and was extremely illustrious . However, he had encountered emotional setbacks . He had doubted himself during his cultivation . He had been stuck at a bottleneck and couldn’t advance any further . He had completely fallen to the nadir of his life .

As time passed, he gradually aged . Amidst sighs, he—despite Archean Mountain Supremacies’ disappointment-finally broke through and achieved success . With an Imperial lord level ultimate technique—the Yin-Yang Art-as his foundation, he brashly modified it and created the True Martial lineage . The cultivation difficulty of his lineage was even greater than the Yin-Yang Art . However, once mastered, one’s combat strength would be superior to those of the same level!

But what use was that? By the time he mastered it, he was already old . His aged body prevented him from breaking through to the Creation realm .

As for the theoretical possibility of regaining his youth? That required his True Martial lineage’s foundation, the Yin-Yang Art, to reach perfection . What was perfection . It was the highest level of the Yin-Yang Art-the final level that Grandsire Yin Yang had reached the Imperial Lord level . Grandsire Yin Yang’s technique realm had reached the Imperial Lord level, but he didn’t become an Imperial Lord .

There were many requirements for becoming an Imperial Lord . One’s technique realm was only one of them . However, how difficult was it for one’s technique realm to reach the Imperial Lord level?

It’s just too difficult for one’s technique realm to reach the Imperial Lord level in 500 years .

King True Martial understood this .

Oh? King True Martial suddenly turned to look at the mountain nearby .

This mountain has stopped rising? Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea also discovered it . The purple aura that enveloped the mountain had stopped rising .

“Let’s hurry up and get close . Be ready to snatch the treasure at any time,” said King True Martial . He immediately used his domain to bring Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea closer to the purple aura . They came extremely close to the purple aura before their entry was barred .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Patriarch Poison Dragon transformed into black water; the water spread out . It surrounded the mountain from all directions, blotting out the sky and sealing off the entire mountain . However, the black water was unable to threaten the True Martial domain .

Humph . A black dragon surfaced from the black water, and coldly looked at the human Godfiends . He couldn’t do anything to King True Martial and company; likewise for King True Martial and the others . Patriarch Poison Dragon’s Undying body was indeed powerful . According to the intelligence they had, only the three demon Imperial Lords could kill him .

“Junior Brother Meng, we’ll be counting on you later . ” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan . “King Calm Sea and I will protect you . Carry us towards the treasure as quickly as possible . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “I will definitely give it my all . ”

Suddenly,

The purple aura that enveloped the entire mountain converged and seeped back into the mountain . A white beam of light suddenly shot up from the mountainside . The white light formed a faint outline of eyes and a nose, but it was like a sharp sword that pierced through the air . It was terrifying fast .

“It’s an Origins treasure . ” The black water had enveloped the entire mountain . A black dragon immediately condensed at the spot closest to the treasure . After the black dragon condensed, it rushed towards the white light .

“Seize the treasure . ” Meng Chuan felt an inexplicable excitement when he saw the white light . It was as though his life was affected . He instinctively brought King True Martial and King Calm Sea toward the white light .

At the same time, he received a voice transmission from King True Martial’s Essence Soul . “Grab it!”

Whoosh .

Lightning flashed in the sky . Even while carrying King True Martial and King Calm Sea, Meng Chuan’s speed soared to an inconceivable level as he charged towards the white light .

“Grab it!” The fire pheasant trio immediately cast their divine powers .

Swoosh .

The demon dragon’s domain was famous in the Demon Realm . Even Patriarch Poison Dragon and King True Martial didn’t notice them when they hid in the void .

“Divine power—Void Territory . ” A vertical eye opened at the demon dragon’s glabella . It allowed him to see chaotic void waves . His divine power could freeze the surrounding void and make it his territory . It was also his strongest domain move .

Whoosh .

The fire pheasant spread her fiery-red wings and transformed into a flaming beam as she swooped down from the sky .

Patriarch Poison Dragon’s black water was also about to reach the white light when the fire pheasant trio instantly charged into the black water .

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The black water was poisonous . However, the demon dragon’s Void Territory shielded the trio from the black water as they charged towards the white light .

Meng Chuan and company flew towards the white light from the side .

“What?” Patriarch Poison Dragon was alarmed as well . He didn’t expect other demon monarchs to be hiding in the vicinity .

“Origins treasure . ” The fire pheasant trio went all out . Although Patriarch Poison Dragon was powerful, he was only famous for his Undying Body and poison . They weren’t afraid of him thanks to their number advantage .

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Carrying her companions, the fire pheasant moved about 10 kilometers in a second . She was considered the fastest among fifth Firmament demon monarchs and even surpassed several demon sages .

Meng Chuan moved 11 kilometers in a second even while carrying King True Martial and King Calm Sea . This was the result of his new insights regarding the World Roving Dragon Saber .

They approached the white light—which soared into the sky-at full speed!

Whoosh .

Meng Chuan’s movement technique had a beauty to it . It was like a brushstroke in the void . His esoteric trajectory caused the Godfiend trio to be the first to reach the white light . The moment they intercepted it, King True Martial extended his hand, and a blurry gray aura enveloped the white beam of light .

“Retrieve . ” King True Martial could sense the white light struggling, but he still willed it into his void bracelet .

“We have it . ” Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea were overjoyed when they saw this .
