One more catty, one more attribute point

At the moment when King Dingxuan's voice erupted like spring thunder,

a strong sense of crisis surged into Su Heng's mind.

In the nick of time, unable to dodge, he could only instinctively spread his wings at his back, transforming them into a shield and wrapping them in front of himself.

Simultaneously, Su Heng's dragon blood underwent a profound mutation, and with the loud clanking of metal, dragon scales grew, becoming rough and thick, as he turned into a veritable steel mountain.

It was almost at the instant Su Heng finished preparing.

The pale mystic light bursting from King Dingxuan's fingertips shone upon Su Heng, his thought processes instantly froze, becoming exceedingly slow. His body was also bound by an indescribably terrifying force, as if he was captured in a painting, completely unable to move for the time being.

Following that, King Dingxuan, who had been gathering strength for a long time, delivered a brutal strike filled with cold murderous intent from out of the blue.

A dense mass of platinum spears, each over ten feet long,

though all condensed from sheer force, possessed enormous lethality, their tips bursting with a brilliant mystic iron glow, as if they could pierce through the void. Moreover, there were hundreds, perhaps thousands, floating midair, enveloping Su Heng's body completely.

"Fall!"

In the distance, King Dingxuan stretched out his five fingers and clenched them fiercely.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Along with a muffled thunderous noise.

Over a thousand platinum spears fell at once, piercing through the wings, chipping away the scales, and then embed themselves mercilessly into Su Heng's body. Blood spurted wildly from the wounds, muscles melted, and bones vibrated intensely. The spears shattered into countless fragments as they exploded, causing further devastation.

Bright light and platinum dust swallowed up Su Heng, appearing peaceful but harboring a terrifying lethality.

Around Su Heng as the center, within a kilometer radius, the area turned into charred purgatory insulation. The ground was scraped down three full layers, nothing could be seen clearly, only the sense of violent winds caused by the explosions sweeping over thousands of meters, howling as they came.

Some of the distant onlookers had already reached the Heavenly Deceit Realm, yet even they couldn't stand steady in the aftermath, their faces showing startled expressions.

"This is the Mystic Sky Divine Light!"

One gray-haired Martial Artist from the Heavenly Deceit Realm recognized this move, eyes widened with astonishment, whispering, "Once on the Mythical Battlefield, a powerful demon sought to breach the realm but was instantly killed by this move, pulverized to dust, leaving not even a corpse behind!"

"Even a Heavenly Demon with an innate mighty body couldn't withstand it, then this guy, could it be..."

Someone let out a sigh of relief, whispering, "Looks like this battle has come to an end."

"The King is not to be insulted." Another commented, looking toward King Dingxuan's majestic silhouette with awe and reverence.

"Cough, cough!" Under the scrutiny of everyone's gaze, King Dingxuan suddenly let out a light cough. He covered his mouth with his hand and then gently wiped it away.

On the black gauntlet he wore, a bright red smear of blood was startlingly visible. King Dingxuan's eyebrows furrowed deeply, his expression grew dark, and his face faintly reddened.

The power of the Mystic Sky Divine Light was strong, but it consumed a great deal of energy.

Especially since not long ago, he had fought a battle with King Qingyang, who had started a rebellion in the Changyue region.

Both being heavenly kings, King Qingyang had more seniority and his strength was... slightly superior. The blow just now had aggravated an old injury, and at this moment, his internal organs felt like they were boiling, sending sharp pains throughout.

However, thinking of the other's exaggerated physique, King Dingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Even if it costs a little, as long as it takes care of these troubles, it's worth it." He diverted his gaze from the battlefield, turned around, and had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped.

It was like the faint crackling of scabs falling off, coming from behind him. King Dingxuan's pupils contracted suddenly, and his face, as imposing and furious as that of a raging tiger, couldn't help but show a shock.

"This! How is this possible!?"

He spun around swiftly, streams of pitch-black energy raising a gale, whipping straight towards him, while his crimson cloak fluttered wildly.

Alongside a prolonged breath, a volcanic eruption-like plume of scorching smokey heat rose from the battlefield, turning into a black and red curtain of apocalypse. Amidst the curtain, thunder and lightning flashed, and large, tattered wings cast a shadow. The ground pulsed like a beating heart, and Su Heng, like a Supreme Sky Demon, emerged from the black smoke with impeccable majesty.

His body was covered with countless wounds, his Scale Armor was shattered, and many platinum spears that had not yet dissipated were embedded in him.

In some areas, flesh had been completely melted and evaporated, allowing a direct view of the dark gold skeleton and the continuously writhing organs within. Especially those wings, which carried him as he fought across the heavens, were riddled with injuries, like canvas after a storm.

Crack!

The chilling sound of flesh tearing echoed as Su Heng tore off his own wings, and then threw back his head and swallowed them whole.

Gulp!

As the throat of the beast moved.

Everyone present who witnessed this scene involuntarily swallowed their saliva, their faces turning ashen with terror.

Some people were even frightened into shattering their martial resolve, staggering and falling to the ground, their buttocks in the air and hands over their heads. They trembled on the ground like reptiles, not daring to look any longer.

"Worthy of being a heavenly king, that's some force!" Su Heng's mouth slowly twisted into a fearsome and terrifying smile.

"Unfortunately, it's still not quite enough to kill me." Su Heng gestured slightly with his thumb and forefinger in front of King Dingxuan, and seeing the ashen expression on his face, Su Heng's smile grew even wider.

"What comes around, goes around. It's my turn now!" He suddenly spoke, a long breath resonating, and a lengthy humming sound filled the air. His second heart beat slowly, pumping the high-temperature energy from his glands to his mouth, while specks of dark red light condensed in the air, then collapsed and gathered into an unstable orb of light inside Su Heng's mouth.
