Chapter 1203: Chapter 1200: You Must Die
After silently apologizing to Ye Xuan in his heart, Tong Wuji ferociously launched his attack, heading straight for the Heavenly King!
“The Eighteenth Prince who escaped from the Imperial City back then, that must be you!”
The Heavenly King’s towering Dharma Form overlooked the charging Tong Wuji, stating coldly.
He had instigated that mutiny back then, slaughtering the Royal Family members of the time, yet ultimately a few slipped through the net.
Among those he knew, was the Eighteenth Prince.
All these years, he had been searching for this person, fearing that one day this guy might suddenly appear and destroy the glory he had built.
Unfortunately, after searching for so many years, he had not found a trace of this person.
However, he remained vigilant, always wary of this person’s return.
Now, this person truly returned, and although surprised, the Heavenly King sighed in relief.
As long as the opponent appears openly before him, rather than lurking, waiting to surface after his death, that would indeed be out of reach.
The only surprise was Liu Shisan, or rather, Tong Wutian.
This was something the Heavenly King had not anticipated, for during that murderous chaos, the Thirteenth Prince was deemed dead.
The Heavenly King had personally inspected.
Yet never imagined someone had pulled a switcheroo.
Nor expected this guy to return to the capital, becoming the closest person around his son, the Xuantian Human Emperor.
Which led to today’s slaughter.
All these thoughts flashed by in an instant.
The Heavenly King watched Tong Wuji charging swiftly without making any visible move.
But suddenly, it seemed as though the heavens were turning.
The sky was beneath.
The earth was above.
The Qian Kun reversed.
The law of space was instantly rewritten.
Facing this bizarre technique, Tong Wuji appeared unconcerned, taking a step forward, launching the Beng Fist.
Great sound, subtle silence.
Great form, invisible.
With no flashy moves, nor mana pouring.
Even the surrounding laws appeared very calm.
Tong Wuji seemed to have launched a simple Beng Fist.
With seemingly no sound echoing.
Yet the next moment, the Heavenly King’s towering Dharma Form exploded, turning into nothingness.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly King’s true body deep within the Imperial Palace abruptly opened its eyes.
Boom!
An indescribably terrifying aura abruptly awakened.
Like a monstrous primordial beast suddenly waking from slumber, releasing its heaven-destroying might!
The vast aura, like an earth-shaking ox, or sweeping Sword Qi, centered at the Imperial Palace, instantly covered the entire Xuantian Emperor City.
In that instant, all cultivators throughout the Xuantian Emperor City felt the terrifying aura within.
The Heavenly King stood up, his figure imposing, robes fluttering without wind, and despite his graying temples, he looked like a great Confucian.
In truth, before he instigated that mutiny, the Heavenly King was an overseer of the Xuantian Ancient Country and also a famously renowned Confucian Scholar, celebrated within the court.
This was why he could swiftly suppress chaos in court following the mutiny.
Even someone like Han Wufeng, a Patriarch Marshal, was willing to follow him.
Because they believed the Heavenly King was more worthy of support than the former Emperor.
Of course, ultimately the Heavenly King considered he was not of royal bloodline, thus refrained from ascending the throne of the Human Emperor, instead chose his own son to inherit the royal bloodline, elevating him to the position of the Xuantian Human Emperor!
Yet this aligned with the Heavenly King’s thoughts.
Did he truly instigate the mutiny merely for the Human Emperor’s throne?
Don’t be ridiculous.
While the Human Emperor’s throne indeed bore fortune, it was laden with mundane affairs, hindering cultivation.
Initially, the Heavenly King’s interest lay not in these, but in the ancient heritages of the Xuantian Ancient Country and the few Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers!
For years, he had secluded himself deep within the Imperial Palace.
Before the Heavenly Dao Suppression, he had already elevated his cultivation to a terrifying level.
And after the Heavenly Dao Suppression, he continued to observe various ancient heritages.
Despite the existence of the Heavenly Dao Suppression, he could only exert Great Venerate Peak power, yet he was absolutely confident that unless an Emperor General appeared, no one could be his match.
The Heavenly King could confidently declare.
Heavenly Dao Suppression, unless Emperor Generals emerge, in the Xuanhuang Nine States, none can defeat me!
“Such terrifying aura, is this truly the Great Venerate Peak?!”
At that moment, the powerful individuals outside the Ancestor Temple witnessing the scene couldn’t help but feel shocked.
This was too terrifying.
The Heavenly Dao Suppression had merely eased a little, yet such a fearsome powerhouse emerged.
Could this be the true strength of the Xuantian Ancient Country?
If today’s assassination hadn’t occurred, the Xuantian Ancient Country’s standing in Daozhou might have risen daily!
Several Overlords were quietly horrified.
Including ancient Overlords like the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.
The Heavenly King’s strength exceeded many expectations.
“Seems like this fellow absorbed too much power after seizing the Xuantian Ancient Country…” mumbled the old man beside the Little Array Emperor.
Yet, there was not a trace of fear on the old man’s face.
“Such power, truly!”
Ao Rulong’s expression was extremely grave.
“Is it strong…” Qiao Xinyu’s tone was calm, bearing a hint of peculiarity in his expression.
Ao Rulong instantly felt a blockage in his heart.
Yes yes, not strong!
But that’s only for you few monsters!
For me, it’s truly strong!
Ao Rulong secretly griped.
Boom!
The Heavenly King’s aura condensed to the peak, charging directly towards Tong Wuji high above.
Then…
Before everyone’s astonished eyes, the Heavenly King fell faster and crashed deep within the Imperial Palace, completely destroying his own residence to pieces.
Tong Wuji descended over the ruins and coldly said to the somewhat dazed Heavenly King, “I should actually thank you, thank you for letting me experience these years, letting me see what the true pinnacle is like…”
“And letting me know, how utterly weak you are.”
The Heavenly King rushed out from the ruins, shaking off the debris on his body with mana.
The Heavenly King looked at Tong Wuji in amazement, his gaze filled with shock.
Something’s wrong.
Very wrong.
By rights, he should be invincible within Xuanhuang Nine States.
How…
Could he be knocked down by a junior with one punch?
Something’s very wrong.
“You deserve death.” Tong Wuji’s expression was indifferent, lightly saying four words.
Next moment.
The Heavenly King’s pupils shrank violently, seeming as if countless Thunder Pearls exploded within him, making him bleed all over, powerless as he collapsed.
“You…” The Heavenly King looked at Tong Wuji who hadn’t moved, momentarily dazed.
It turns out…
The punch just now had already ended his life!
“I refused to accept!”
The Heavenly King’s heart roared, but death encroached, directly taking him away from the human world.
No one expected, with such terrifying aura, the Heavenly King’s appearance ended in instant death…
