Chapter 129, Nightmark King
"Not bad, you actually managed to withstand one of my strikes." Holding the azure-blue Wind Annihilation Blade in his hand, Ye Muxuan slowly strode through the void, his calm voice echoing in the air, "But it's only 'not bad'."
"Who else?"
The demon race remained silent. The Crystal Crab King's eye stalks, as heavy as hammers, rested horizontally in their sockets, gleaming eerily. King Moss's enormous divine body involuntarily shrank back, and some of its scales quietly stood up.
The transparent wings on the back of the Zerg Queen Mingshu fluttered slightly, her delicate body seemed to shatter at the slightest touch, and her clear blue eyes, like pool water, blinked quietly, captivating the soul.
The Mech King of the Machine Race had his red eyes gleaming, seemingly engaged in complex calculations. Every member of the Machine Race is an intelligent life form, and their computational abilities are unparalleled among all races in the universe.
King Tianyu and King Fengqing frowned slightly. Ye Muxuan's slash looked simple, just a downward slash, but its power was extremely astonishing. Not only did it bypass King Xiaofeng's heavy hammer, but it also killed the plant life and annihilated most of King Xiaofeng's divine body.
Ordinary kings only know that Shadow Blade King won easily with this one strike, but powerful figures like Crystal Crab King, Heavenly Feather King, and Ming Shu can see much more. Even with the advantage of top-tier treasures, even if they went up to face Howling Wind King themselves, they couldn't do it like this!
Besides the difference in the value of the treasures, the difference in the secret techniques triggered by this strike is actually even greater!
"Could it be an ultimate secret technique?"
Several of the top-tier King-level experts present had doubts. They had all created their own peak-level secret techniques, and some of them had even created several sets of peak-level secret techniques, but they probably couldn't have achieved this level! Creating an ultimate secret technique was a legend in the Immortal stage, and countless King-level experts from billions of races throughout the universe didn't know how many of them could do it.
……
Within the abandoned secret realm, in a lava basin spanning trillions of kilometers, stands a colossal fiery tree, tens of millions of kilometers high, with a trunk hundreds of thousands of kilometers in diameter and a canopy exceeding one hundred million kilometers in length. Raging flames rise and burn above it, while above it, within a massive, multicolored vortex, spatial divine power pours in, as if the Milky Way were being overturned.
Huo Sang, this special being from the Secret Realm of Tan Hai, has reached the Venerable level today!
Within this vast lava basin, surrounding the giant fire tree, there are fifteen other giant fire trees of varying sizes and heights.
This is a member of Huosang's clan.
In the far-off center of the continent, a branch of a Venerable-level Jade Bamboo swayed, gazing at the astonishing sight of Huo Sang stepping into the Venerable realm. The wind rustled through the bamboo leaves.
In the thousands of years since it entered the Venerable level, it has transformed its divine body to 67%, and in another thousands of years, it will be able to complete the transformation.
Suddenly, the bamboo whip buried deep within the continent sensed some kind of movement from the depths of the earth. The next moment, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and a palm-sized Xuan Turtle burst out from the summit of a huge mountain. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant Xuan Turtle that was millions of kilometers long, blotting out the sky and the sun. Its ferocious head was raised, and its thick limbs, like pillars of heaven, unconsciously slashed through space. Its tail, tens of thousands of kilometers long, shattered space into fragments with each sway.
A five-colored vortex formed in the sky, and the next moment, the spatial divine power surged in like seawater!
Xuan Turtle, stepping into the Venerable realm!
The Qingyuan people, who were training on the mainland, were stunned by this vast and terrifying scene that exceeded their imagination, as if they were in a dream!
……
After passing through dozens of forbidden spaces, the Star Tower is now filled with over 100,000 powerful King-level experts standing densely on the rocky peaks of the passage and in mid-air, looking down at the slowly rotating Star-Sealing Tower below.
The sealed star rotated slowly, with an invisible barrier on its surface, indicating that the sealed star had not yet been fully born.
In the center of the human camp stood Ye Muxuan, clad in black armor, with the Wind Annihilation Blade on his back. Behind him stood the Bewitching Heart King, the Golden Wing King, and the Subduing Martial King. To his left and right were the Heavenly Feather King, clad in silver armor with wings on his back and wielding a silver spear, and the Immortal King, a human with intricate blue armor, a five-colored light spot between his brows, long purple hair flowing down to his waist, a slender figure like bamboo, and a handsome face.
Nightmark King!
He has cultivated for less than a thousand epochs, only a fraction of the time that Kings like True Evolution King and Heavenly Feather King have reached. Yet, for millions of years, starting from the Domain Lord level, he has consistently ranked first on the alien race assassination list. It wasn't until thousands of years ago that he was surpassed by the super genius Mu Xuan, becoming second.
Aside from Ye Muxuan, after Coty, he was the only Realm Lord to have passed the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and was considered by the higher-ups to be a genius with the potential to pass the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level. However, when he was training in the outer battlefield during his Realm Lord stage, he was assassinated by the demon race and had to advance to Immortality on the spot, thus losing this opportunity in the end.
After advancing to the Immortal realm, he directly entered the peak of the King realm. With the protection of a powerful treasure, Nightmark King's combat strength exceeded the limit of ordinary King realm cultivators. He was also a genius that the higher-ups had high hopes for after Martial Soup King, who could become a Universe Venerable. Many Venerables in the human high-level leadership believed that he would enter the Venerable ranks faster than veteran geniuses like Blue Smoke King and Illusion King.
If it weren't for the news from the Star Tower that Shadow Blade King, alone with his blade, could overpower the other three factions, Nightmark King would never have come to the outer battlefield again.
It's just a treasure that seals the stars; he doesn't lack that. He obtained it when he was training here.
His strength is now almost at the level of an invincible king, not much weaker than Ye Muxuan's senior brother, Luo Qianwang. He has been preparing to step into the Venerable realm for tens of thousands of years, and the outer battlefield poses no challenge to him at all.
In fact, if Ye Muxuan hadn't needed to devour powerful treasures for his Li Yan clone, and also to equip his various clones with some, and if he hadn't wanted to capture some king-level servants—not to mention as part of the Qingyuan Clan's resources, but even as a tool for teleporting to the divine kingdoms of the entire universe—he wouldn't have come to the outer battlefield again.
The current human race has tens of thousands of king-level powerhouses, with Shadow Blade King and Nightmark King at their core. Even the deterrent power of Heavenly Feather King is slightly weaker.
Ye Muxuan shifted his attention away from Night Trace King beside him, mainly because the latter possessed an aura of similar strength to his own Snow Domain—the aura of a supreme treasure. Finally, he focused his attention on the nearly 100,000 Kings densely packed opposite him.
The more powerful individuals there are, the more drastically the strength and deterrent effect of each individual will decrease. Even for him, unless a clone of the Jade Emperor is deployed, he would perish if tens of thousands of King-level Immortals attacked in a single strike—at least high-level King-level.
If it wasn't a collective attack, then out of the more than 100,000 kings, including Nightmark King, there were only eleven who deserved his attention.
The Zerg have two Queen Mothers—the true queens of the Zerg race, though their numbers are actually quite small. There is also one immortal from another race within the same faction. The Demon race has three immortals, another from an alien race within the same faction, and the Machine race has three. Each of these ten immortals is close to being a king-level invincible being, renowned and holding extremely high positions within their respective races.

P.S.: I need to go out this weekend, so updates will be sporadic. I'll see if I can type a few words while I'm in the car; if I do, I'll post it, otherwise, it might not.
