Chapter 1905: Tribulation in the East (I) |
Both the Human King and Li Hao erupted at the same time. Blood qi shot through the void, as did one sword and one blade. The blade was stronger than the sword. Those not in the know would think that the two were fighting each other.
Both weapons descended at the same time!
RUMBLE!
An enormous impact sounded at nearly the same time. Their opponent, the eighth rank Drifting Life, took a few steps backward. A bloody mark appeared on his chest, as did a look of incredulous shock!
The seventh rank in front of Li Hao was hacked into two by the blow. Pure despair shone out of his eyes. He could tell that the two attackers were actually… competing with each other.
Did I somehow get on your bad side? You guys are treating us as practice targets!!
One of their opponents was an eighth rank and the other was a seventh rank. They could not be mentioned in the same breath. and yet, Li Hao had completed his kill and the Human King only only slightly injured his target.
The Human King scowled. He didn’t care how strong his opponent was or if he was exhausted from the earlier fighting. He cared even less that he was an eighth rank and Li Hao was a sixth rank. He just felt that he was embarrassing himself, because he was older!
The Human King loved to compare his age to others. There was no other powerhouse that was younger than him, but now this kid dared pit himself against the vaunted Human King because he was younger!
Drifting Life stared incredulously back at him. Why… should I die? It was like the Human King was the bigger victim instead of him, based on how the man was howling with outrage.
“Earth Yang…” Drifting Life called out to the eighth rank. We need to work together, my world’s reinforcements will be here shortly!
Bam!
Another impact sounded as Void once more revitalized himself and smashed out another punch of six daos at peak strength. The final seventh rank toppled over from the concerted efforts of the rest!
It’d been fast, very fast. Four seventh ranks had faced another four seventh ranks, but those from the outer regions were killed in the blink of an eye. It was like the two sides had actually been of different cultivation levels.
In the distance, Kang Han froze in the custody of Panther and the queen. This was the most exciting day of his life. Eight seventh ranks had died in a heartbeat.
Eight!
Everything had happened too quickly to be believed. The Human King had killed four seventh ranks, the Silver Moon king’s group had killed another four. Although they had more people, all of these people were too strong to be believed.
It was as if the seventh and eighth ranks of the four regions were on another level compared to those of the outer regions! Why was that?
The ripples of the Reincarnation dao universe finally split the firmament open. A pair of fists exploded from far off Reincarnation major world!
Two figures split through the void at the same time, each of them delivering a punch. They hurtled toward the site of battle, but their transportation was interrupted by a cold snort echoing through the chaos!
“Human King, Silver Moon King, Light has come to aid you!” One punch sundered the worlds. The power of light appeared. Although it was a bit duskier than one might expect, it did seem to be the Light master.
However, both the Human King and Li Hao cursed to themselves. That wasn’t Light! It was a dragon! How dare it be so shameless as to imitate the Light master?!
This was the Dragon master!
The great dao rippled and two eighth ranks fell out of their dao universe’s teleportation. Both of them were immensely shocked and found that a furious barrage of fists awaited them!
These punches were so strong that they could not be fathomed! Who was behind them??
Light?
That wasn’t possible. Light of the four regions was not that strong. The two eighth ranks registered with growing horror that the unknown assailant might even be stronger than their world master!
The sudden changes in the lay of the land stunned the upper third realm. Eighth ranks hovered over the major world of Arctic Frost, each of them pale with shock.
The four regions?
No, this seemed more like an ambush from the ninth rank Chaos Sky!
Damn it! What in the blazes was going on?? Were the overlords of the other three regions coming for the east? Reincarnation seemed to be in trouble!
……
A Reincarnation powerhouse with his eyes closed in meditation shuddered after losing four seventh ranks. However, he remained calm.
But once someone smashed through his dao universe with one punch and the two eighth ranks that’d set out to reinforce their own fell out of the void, the man awakened.
Life and death materialized in his eyes and he looked outside with a cold glint. Light?
No!
It wasn’t Light, but… Long Zhan! It was the dragon!
The look in the Reincarnation master’s eyes chilled. Why was it him? Wasn’t he busy conquering the four regions?? Hadn’t he reached the step of dueling New Martial and Silver Moon to the death?! Why would he make a move at this time as well?
There was no more time for the Reincarnation master to contemplate further. Overwhelming presence shot into the air as a harsh yell echoed in the four corners. “How dare you!”
My world of Reincarnation is in grave danger!
……
Reincarnation was the foremost world of the eastern regions. It boasted of four eight ranks and a dozen seventh ranks. It was a formidable faction that dominated the eastern region. Its world master wielded the daos of life and death and was unrivaled.
Although Reincarnation was not the overlord of the east, it was the strongest of the region. Even the Arctic Frost world master admitted that it would be hard to match this peer in battle.
But today, three of Reincarnation’s eighth ranks faced lethal threats at the same time. Drifting Life was under heavy threat from the New Martial Human King. The remaining two had been forced out of their dao universe transport. Although they’d struck at the same time, just one fist was sufficient to suppress them.
Light?!
The aghast eighth ranks called bullshit on that claim.
This was clearly Long Zhan, a peak eighth rank! The dragon was a powerhouse of six thousand daos and an existence many times stronger than the Human King. Not even the Reincarnation master could necessarily stand against him.
……
Three battlefields erupted with soaring killing intent. Earth Yang was being chased by an eighth rank and multiple seventh ranks. Drifting Life was fending off the Human King and two Ironeater seventh ranks. The two eighth ranks faced the Dragon master and Red Moon.
Almost every front was being suppressed by those from the four regions.
The Reincarnation master chose to exit closed door cultivation. Numerous seventh ranks appeared behind him as he stormed out. All of them glowered, incredulous that someone dared ambush Reincarnation heavyweights.
How could that be??
The Reincarnation master strode through the void. His great dao rippled and the dao universe trembled as he made his way to the battlefield. He was extremely fast!
Reincarnation’s dao universe extended outward to where Long Zhan was. Even if the Reincarnation master could not kill the dragon, he would not permit Long Zhan to kill two Reincarnation eighth ranks. Their losses would be too heavy that way.
Seventh ranks rushed to join him, but the Reincarnation master instructed, “Stay behind and guard the world!”
They were in great trouble today. More trouble might develop if someone saw that the world was empty and decided to make straight for the world itself. Arctic Frost was a key threat as it also had three eighth ranks.
He had to be on guard against them!
Life and death shimmered over the Reincarnation master; his might came down oppressively on the scene. He sped for Long Zhan, the wake of his passage making countless powerhouses in the eastern ninth layer to raise their heads with trepidation!
The foremost world of the eastern region was under attack today. What a bold group of interlopers! Were they crazy?? Was this what it was meant to be a powerhouse of the four regions??
There’d been a great war within the four regions before, one that involved more than one hundred high ranks. That was stunning enough already. They were aware that the savages from the four regions were utterly berserk, but who would’ve thought that they would bring their brand of crazy to the outer regions?
Meanwhile, the Dragon master was wholly unconcerned at the sensation of the Reincarnation master coming his way. He waited with a mocking expression.
“He’s got some nerve. Are the three eighth ranks of Arctic Frost blind? This is such a good opportunity to seize Reincarnation. Why aren’t they doing anything? Hah!”
The dragon shot into the void and roared commandingly, “Since you’ve come, don’t bother thinking of how to leave! Reincarnation, can you stand against this seat’s Divine Punch of Light?”
The firmament crumbled from his blow!
Color drained from his eighth rank opponent’s face when the Dragon master punched outward. Countless daos surfaced in the void and it really did seem that a massive sun was descending with the move. There was also a world appearing, as well as a massive dragon.
BOOM!
The eighth rank felt that thousands of mountains had run him over. All of his bones broke and it seemed like even his soul had been pummeled out of his body. What thought of great dao, of life and death, or anything else was all demolished by the punch!
The eighth rank flew backward and smashed through various worlds. Endless chaos energy exploded next to him as he flew out like a meteor. That single punch sent him completely out of sight.
Was he dead?
Likely not, but he probably wouldn’t chance coming back.
The Dragon master took to the air and sped for the Reincarnation master.
“Your subordinates are useless,” he brayed with laughter. “Try my Divine Punch of Light for size!”
Boom!
The just arrived Reincarnation master’s eyes widened and he waved the void into a cage. Life and death spun into view and a passageway hovered in sight. The fist shook the passageway, but its boxing intent was defused.
As the passageway oscillated, another boxing intent erupted and flashed back toward the Dragon master like a punch of death.
“Parlor tricks!” scoffed the Dragon master.
“Your arrogance knows no bounds!” grunted the Reincarnation master. The dragon was too cocky! His world was not too far away, so he was essentially battling with home ground advantage. He wielded fifty-eight hundred dao rules and dominated the eastern region.
This person—ahem, beast, was far too prideful!
Fifty-eight hundred dao rules and fighting with home ground advantage essentially put him on par with a premier exalted emperor of more than six thousand dao rules. He might not be a tyrant of the ages, but he was certainly a rare sovereign of the east.
Long Zhan thought far too much of himself!
