W-w-w-w-who were these people!?
If they were kickass, then why did they back off? Well, obviously in fear of the Liu Family, no?
“Ancestor, why?” someone asked. He was Liu Family’s favorite descendant, and only he dared to ask at this time.
The others all held their breath and concentrated, wanting to know the answer, or else they’d feel wronged.
“Do you guys think that this old man breaking through to the Shattering Void Tier means that he’s invincible in the world?” Liu Family’s ancestor snorted, and said, “Amongst the people that you guys ‘bullied’ earlier, there were four Shattering Void Tier elites, and at least one of them only needs one move to defeat this old man!”
Pu!
The youngsters instantly spurted out—how was it possible?! In their eyes, their ancestor was invincible—even if he fell short a little, he would still be undefeated.
The Shattering Void Tier stood at the peak of the world, and absolutely didn’t need to fear anyone.
Liu Family’s ancestor sighed inwardly. If he were free of attachments and constraints, then he indeed wouldn’t need to fear anyone. Was it not easy to run for Shattering Void Tier elites if they wanted? But now, he had a family, businesses, and descendants, but Feng Po Yun was completely alone, so how could he not lower his head?
He didn’t move, waiting till Ling Han and the others sat down. He’d immediately take the juniors to go apologize.
Liu Family’s people all watched, and revealed a shocked look because the position of Ling Han and the others was far above theirs, at the highest place of the sky-splitting platform, where the entire scene could be seen.
This…!
The seats couldn’t be chosen recklessly. There was consideration for where each force sat, a type of recognition from the Purple Moon Emperor’s Court. And, in the world, who dared to have objections against Purple Moon Emperor’s Court? Would you dare protest against an elite with Shattering Void Tier twenty stars of battle prowess?
Below Ling Han, a whole area was vacant. It was a kind of stance of Purple Moon Emperor’s Court that no force could sit as equals with the Great Ling Empire, being not even one notch lower, but instead several levels lower.
Seeing this scene, not to mention Liu Family’s youngsters who were unconvinced, even Liu Family’s ancestor was somewhat displeased on the inside.
He admitted that he wasn’t Feng Po Yun’s match, but everyone was in the Shattering Void Tier; he was only slightly inferior, but still in the same level. Now that the two of them not only did not sit as equals, but were also several levels apart, wasn’t this underestimating him too much?
Not only him, the other people also noticed.
Even though the middle state only had a few Shattering Void Tier elites—other than the five sects, it was the Spirit Treasures Pavilion, Alchemist Society, Cold Spear Association, and a few other forces that possessed elites at this level—they still had them, after all.
Now that they were several heads shorter than Ling Han, looking up at him as if his subjects, it made them all feel out of sorts.
Liu Family’s ancestor instantly gave up on the original idea, and said inwardly,Hehe, a tall tree catches the wind. With many elites intervening, this old man can instead wait and see. If they’re beaten down, then they’d have no face to give us trouble.
All the forces that had Shattering Void Tier elites were unconvinced.
For what reasons could you guys sit high up?
Feng Po Yun indeed was very strong, but not strong to that degree!
A Shattering Void Tier elite walked to the high end, and said scornfully, “Hehehe, below some seats is a volcano, not everyone has the qualification to sit there, or else once the volcano erupts, one would be burned to ashes!”
He was a veteran Shattering Void Tier who’d been well known for at least five to six hundred years, and was now at the eighth layer of the Shattering Void Tier. Still, he was too old, his Qi and blood deteriorating, and his battle prowess actually didn’t reach eight stars.
However, from qualification alone, he really was incredible, a real veteran.
So, he was the first one to refuse to accept it. I have high prestige and a glorious name, yet I have to sit below you guys… Do you guys have such qualifications?
The elite’s surname was Man, first name Jingyi. He was over a thousand years old now, with less than ten years of life left, so he had much less scruples in his conduct, taking a stance of mutual destruction no matter how strong an opponent he encountered.
The older he got, the more he cared about an undeserved reputation. A saying said that men lived by honor as trees stood to live—wasn’t it like that?
Ling Han chuckled, and said, “No problem, I can handle it!”
“You sure?” Man Jingyi raised his white brows.
“Hehe, Elder Man’s about to get serious!”
“Although the old fellow’s Qi and blood are deteriorating, his tier is as it stands at the eighth layer of the Shattering Void Tier, after all. The people with tier higher than his in the world can be counted on one’s fingers!”
“Burning Qi and blood to fight at the extreme, Elder Man can still unleash battle prowess of eight stars, the strongest battle prowess in the world.”
Everyone nodded. Don’t assume that battle prowess above Shattering Void Tier nine stars was easy to achieve—it was too hard to battle surpassing tiers at Shattering Void Tier. That was why people said that one star was a world’s difference. Those as powerful as the Sword King could only battle while surpassing three to four stars.
Was the world filled with such geniuses?
“Certainly!” Ling Han said with a smile.
Man Jingyi raised his hand, and said, “Then how about you take this old man’s move?”
Ling Han smiled, and said, “Sure, please go ahead.”
In the sky, the seven Kings watched.
“Should we help?” Justice Mountain King said.
Heavenly Astral King shook his head, and said, “Being able to gain His Majesty’s recognition, even if his strength can’t be compared to ours, means he’s not one to be defeated by such trash. Moreover, his physique is the same as His Majesty’s; so what if that old trash bombarded him?”
“Touche!” The six other Kings all nodded, and gave up on the idea of intervening.
Man Jingyi was somewhat surprised. This youngster was truly a young one that knew no fear, thinking that he was invincible just because he advanced into the Shattering Void Tier. Hmph, today, he’d have him know that the older, the wiser!
He leapt into the sky, and said, “Then let’s fight!” No matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn’t dare to destroy the sky-splitting platform. Not to mention Ma Duo Bao, any of the seven Kings could take care of him.
The old man loved face, and obviously wouldn’t want to be defeated publicly.
Chapter 859 - Unequaled physique
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“They’re about to fight! They’re about to fight!” Various people from the Liu Family watched with excitement. Naturally, each and every one of them wished for Ling Han to lose.
Ling Han smiled casually as he stepped into the air. It was as though there were invisible stairs in the sky which allowed him to ascend as if he was climbing a hill.
“In consideration of your seniority, you can have the first three moves.” He beckoned the other party over with a finger.
“How haughty!” Man Jingyi’s anger reached the limit, causing his white hair to dance in the air. He began to burn his Qi and blood,
determined to fight to the fullest of his power. He wanted to defeat this arrogant youngster in one move. Even if you’re amazing enough to enter the Void Shattering Tier at your young age, you should still learn that there is always someone better out there!
Hong , his imposing aura continuously became stronger, reaching the battle prowess of Void Shattering Tier’s 8 stars, matching hi
s cultivation!
“Be suppressed for me!” He flew across the air, going towards Ling Han as he focused his suppression on him!
Ling Han neither dodged nor retreated, letting the other party come attack him.Pa , he was immediately hit with a palm on his chest.
Hiss, this was what he called a three-move handicap?
The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched; they sucked in cold air as they couldn’t believe their eyes.
Allowing someone a number of moves was only about letting the other party attack first—one still had to resist what they should resist, and one still had to avoid what they should avoid. It did not by any means refer to neither dodging nor defending, suffering the attacks by taking them head on with just one’s body!
The fact that Shattering Void Tier martial artists didn’t die was simply because no one could obstruct them if they wanted to escape, yet by messing around this way, even those in the Shattering Void Tier can die quickly!
Now, he would definitely instant-kill him with one move!
“Ah…” Yet, Man Jingyi screamed. Both his arms trembled, and appeared unfathomably distorted—his bones were dislocated.
What?!
Everyone hardly dared believe their eyes. Goddamn, one person attacked the other with a powerful palm strike, yet the result was that the former’s arms broke? Just where was logic in that?
Pa, pa , Man Jingyi’s Origin power shook, resetting the bones that had dislocated. His cheek twitched, disbelief written all over his face. How was this possible? The other party bore the power of his palm, yet not only was he unharmed, it was himself who got his bones dislocated?
This defensive power… was completely unnatural!
“There are still two moves,” Ling Han said indifferently.
There was absolute silence—no one spoke, and only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard besides the echo of Ling Han’s voice.
Even the seven Kings were indescribably astonished.
“It looks like this boy’s physique became stronger again.”
“Before, it was at the level of a Tenth Tier precious metal, so did it now become as strong as a divine metal?
“F*ck, is there still anyone in this world who can kill him?”
“Let alone kill, is there anyone who can even wound him?”
An agonized expression appeared on Man Jingyi’s face. Even if he could defeat Ling Han, so what? There would be no glory in that! How could such an abnormal person exist? It was no wonder that Ling Han could be given the highest position by the Purple Moon Court. Once someone experienced this sort of defensive power, who would be unable to accept him?
He took a deep breath. It was too late to retreat, so he could only hope that Ling Han’s defensive power couldn’t be so awesome at all times. If he could do a bit better against Ling Han, he would be able to retain some face.
After holding his breath for three full breaths, he unleashed an ultimate technique.
“Ash-gray River Stream, Annihilating 10,000 Miles!”
Hong , he stirred the water element in the world, transforming it into a black river, which faced Ling Han, trying to attack him.
Each drop of the river water was congealed from pure Origin Power. It was heavy like a mountain, so if the river landed a direct hit against someone, then even if the target was a person in the ninth layer of the Shattering Void Tier, they would still be immediately crushed and die.
Ling Han was standing midair with hands behind his back as before, having no intention to evade.
“Hey, hey, hey, is he planning to take this move head on as well?” The Clear Solar King gasped in astonishment. With his strength, he could take out Man Jingyi in a flash, but he wouldn’t dare to take his attacks head on so nonchalantly like this!
“So having defense at the level of a divine weapon’s allows you to be so willful, huh!” the Heavenly Astral King said with a sigh. Physique was the most difficult to cultivate. Although the kings also had some accomplishments in this area, theirs were only at the Heaven Tier’s level. It was impossible for any of them to make the last, final step.
Hong , the black river struck, hitting Ling Han’s body heavily, submerging him in an instant.
Amidst the heavy noise, the black river poured downwards, crashing down onto the sky-splitting platform, which terrified countless people.
It was not a random attack of just any Shattering Void Tier elite, but an ultimate move of someone at the eighth layer of the Tier! Even for most of them at the Shattering Void Tier, if they received it, they would only end up taken out in a flash!
“Leave it to me!” The Flame King’s figure flashed, and was already in the path of the incoming black river. He reached out his hand, and turned the whole river into ashes in an instant.
He already had the battle prowess of Shattering Void Tier 15 stars in the first place, and now, with the addition of the power of the nation, his battle prowess skyrocketed to 18 stars. As such, if he wanted to disperse a powerful attack of someone with the battle prowess of 8 stars of the Shattering Void tier, it was naturally easy and relaxing for him.
With the catastrophe averted, everyone finally relaxed. Their attention didn’t focus on the Flame King’s figure—to them, it was only natural that he had such power.
Their focus was on Ling Han, who took this move head on. Was he heavily wounded, or was he still like before, with not even a single hair of his harmed?
The black river dispersed, and they only now saw that Ling Han was actually still standing proudly, the blood and Qi all over his body churning like in a heavenly furnace!
This… this freak!
The old ancestor of the Liu Family was trembling. It wasn’t good, it wasn’t good at all! He had to immediately come up to Ling Han and apologize and make reparations; this kind of person was really fearful! If he bore a grudge, the Liu Family would definitely be done for!
Without even mentioning anything else, he wasn’t even Ling Han’s match in how long their lives had been.
“Still one move,” Ling Han said with a smile. His Qi wasn’t depleted at all.
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Ling Han was arrogant, but rather that he was indeed too strong. With such a physique, let alone three moves, what did 300 moves count as?
Man Jingyi simply had no idea what to do. He’d already used his strongest move just now, but just like before, he had been unable to hurt even a single hair on Ling Han’s head. Even if he used the same move again, just what kind of effect would it have?
“No need, this old man… concedes defeat!” His whole heart was thoroughly filled with bitterness.
It wasn’t like he had never lost in his whole life, but he’d never encountered an opponent in the same Tier who forced him to admit defeat without attacking once—this was the first time it had ever happened.
Being capable of reaching the Shattering Void Tier—several hundred years ago at that—meant that he was a genius! Of course Man Jingyi would become arrogant. Yet, he still couldn’t help but admit that he was getting old now—it was no longer his heyday.
“You let me win,” Ling Han said faintly. He showed no arrogance, and didn’t harp on the matter with Man Jingyi.
Man Jingyi turned around casually, returning to his seat. However, at this moment, there was no longer anyone glancing at him at all. Instead, everyone’s attention was completely focused on Ling Han now.
He was a super new star!
“What, he’s Ling Han, that Heaven grade alchemist?”
“I really didn’t expect that there would exist such a genius in this world, not only reaching the apex of alchemy, but also becoming so formidable on the martial path.”
“He’ll certainly become one of those who will dominate the world!”
“Hehe, if His Majesty succeeds at splitting open the sky, we will all become people of the divine grade, and at that time we can obtain the divine realm’s resources to cultivate. Later, we won’t necessarily
lose to him!”
“Indeed!”
Most of the people had recognized Ling Han’s talent, but there were also those who looked at him with unkind eyes, not at all willing to accept him.
However, Ling Han once more headed toward that seat, and there no longer was anyone who tried to stop him.
If you aren’t convinced, why not try delivering three moves?
The old ancestor of the Liu Family immediately approached with his juniors in tow, apologizing to Ling Han. Those juniors also finally knew that there was always someone better, and every single one of them was covered in cold sweat. With Ling Han’s current strength, dealing with them would be like killing livestock; would the old ancestor still dare have any objections now?
Chapter 860 - Ma Duo Bao Splits Open the Skies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“His Majesty has arrived!” a guard announced loudly.
“His Majesty has arrived!”
“His Majesty has arrived!”
“His Majesty has arrived!”
Any person who was a soldier of the Purple Moon Empire shouted loudly, causing the earth itself to shake and their cries to ring out in the air.
Ma Duo Bao appeared. He was dressed in his imperial robes, but due to the width of his waist, he had instantly lost his majestic aura completely, causing many a girl to cover her grin. However, there were also many women with unique tastes whose eyes lit up, and they exclaimed at how cute he was.
Only when the air he exuded surged past like a flood did many people shudder. This damn fatty was the person in the highest position in the whole world, as well as the most powerful person there.
He had no equal!
Under the barrage of this kind of aura, there were only a rare few that could maintain their composure, such as Ling Han, Helian Tianyun, Feng Po Yun, and the seven Kings. They were pitifully few.
Ma Duo Bao strode over, and arrived in the center of the platform prepared to split open the skies. He stood firm, and declared, “I… shall split the skies open this day!”
