Chapter 1340: Even Kings Can Be Defeated!
Rumble!
Within the entire Heavenly Dao Platform space, akin to a world of flames, Qian Shibang was surrounded by swirling firelight, with streams of molten dragons continuously converging behind him.
In the void above, a brilliantly dazzling band of flames sliced through the air.
Thousands of miles long, it stretched across the sky.
The fierce flames seemed capable of burning the void, boiling the sun and moon, heaven and earth.
"Wrath of the Scorching Heavens!"
A look of ferocity surfaced on Qian Shibang's flame-covered face as he let out a deep roar, echoing like a terrifying dragon's chant between heaven and earth.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Waves of fierce flames gathered from all directions.
The scorching heat was enough to incinerate everything.
Their target was Xiao Yi!
Hiss hiss hiss!
The peak on which Xiao Yi stood melted continuously under the invasive heat, gradually merging into the searing lava.
The roaring sound echoed across the nine heavens.
In an instant.
Not a bit of the ten-thousand-foot mountain peak remained.
Only beneath Xiao Yi's feet did a pillar, thousands of feet high but only the size of his feet, remain embedded between heaven and earth.
As Qian Shibang was about to strike.
Xiao Yi, who had been standing still, suddenly retreated with a single step, then followed with a one-handed horizontal thrust in the air. With a loud roar, the towering pillar shattered from its base.
Xiao Yi grasped the pillar with one hand and swung it mightily toward the void.
Buzz!
The thousands-of-feet-long pillar, weightless in Xiao Yi's hand, swung abruptly with a deafening sound of breaking through the air, accompanied by thunder around the pillar.
Boom!
The terrifying pillar smashed fiercely toward Qian Shibang.
Qian Shibang suddenly opened his mouth, and the dragons of fire behind him roared angrily as hundreds of them surged forward.
Twisting their massive bodies, they fiercely wrapped around the pillar under the burning flames.
Under the scorching heat.
The pillar became red-hot, then burst apart with a series of bangs.
In the blink of an eye, only a few hundred feet remained!
Qian Shibang laughed wildly: "With your meager skills, you cannot stop me!"
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yi grinned, released his grip on the pillar, then leaped into the air and landed on the pillar, darting out like an arrow leaving the string.
Fire dragons continually charged toward him along the way.
These were fire dragons formed by the power of heaven and earth.
Unaffected by water, undispersed by wind.
Yet when they collided with Xiao Yi, they appeared to lose their life essence, billowing black smoke continuously.
Extinguished suddenly!
Even their lava-formed bodies turned into volcanic rocks, falling from high altitudes.
"This is impossible…"
"Qian Shibang possesses the Fire Spirit Physique, comparable to the Sacred Body, and now he's reached the King level cultivation. The Wrath of the Scorching Heavens he performed is hard for even ordinary kings to withstand. How did Xiao Yi manage it?"
Exclamations erupted outside the Heavenly Dao Platform.
The first Peak Master's pupils contracted madly; this Wrath of the Scorching Heavens was a secret technique he taught Qian Shibang, and with Qian Shibang's Fire Spirit Physique, he was unbeaten in the same realm!
Xiao Yi easily broke through this move?
The first Peak Master's gaze flickered, then suddenly his pupils shrank. In disbelief, he looked at the Pavilion Master beside him: "Pavilion Master, that boy…"
The Pavilion Master nodded resolutely, his tone unprecedentedly grave: "Xiao Yi, today has truly brought me many surprises…"
The thirteenth Elder furrowed his brow, looked at the second Peak Master beside him, and asked softly: "Second Peak Master, what are they talking about?"
The second Peak Master glanced at him. His face was filled with irrepressible excitement and shock, taking a deep breath to calm himself before speaking: "Just now, at that moment, Xiao Yi used at least five elemental powers of heaven and earth!"
Hiss!
Five kinds of elemental powers?
The thirteenth Elder looked shocked.
It should be known…
Ordinary King-level experts can wield two or three elemental powers, having reached their limit.
Xiao Yi is merely a Marquis-level!
Yet he just wielded at least five elemental powers? This means Xiao Yi has walked the paths of five elemental daos to the level of Great Achievement!
The thirteenth Elder couldn't help but look at the Pavilion Master.
The figure before him was one of the strongest within the Unharmed Heaven Realm himself, yet he merely mastered ten elemental powers simultaneously!
Before breaking through to the Sacred Sovereign, his limit was also wielding five elemental powers!
"This boy…"
The thirteenth Elder suddenly regretted.
Why not bring Xiao Yi under our wing before introducing him to the Heavenly Dao Tower?
If only.
We wouldn't have attracted so many experts vying to recruit Xiao Yi under their banners!
If Xiao Yi could enter the Thirteen Peaks, the Thirteen Peaks might leap to the top three… no, even replace the First Peak!
However.
There is no regret medicine in this world!
The thirteenth Elder's heart filled with remorse, his gaze once more fixing on the Heavenly Dao Platform…
Seeing his Wrath of the Scorching Heavens easily dismantled by Xiao Yi, Qian Shibang's expression was as dark as could be, fury pouring from his eyes, "I refuse to believe you can truly defeat me…"
Boom!
Red light swirled around Qian Shibang, the blood-red runes on him bursting into a mysterious gold-red glow.
Gold-red light transformed into profound runes, circulating throughout.
Gold-red flames erupted from his core.
In just a moment…
Qian Shibang transformed into a giant of flames.
Fire Spirit Physique!
At this moment, Qian Shibang completely merged with heaven and earth, as long as the power of fire remained in this realm, he would not die!
"Xiao Yi, you should be honored to be the first opponent I fully fight against after reaching the King level!" Qian Shibang said between breaths, flames continually sputtering from his seven orifices.
Xiao Yi sneered: "What is King level then?"
As the words fell.
Xiao Yi made a single-handed gesture in the air, and the Qingping Sword emerged with a hum.
Grasping the longsword.
Iridescence shone across the land.
Qian Shibang laughed heartily: "I thought you had a special trick up your sleeve, but it's merely a Yuan weapon. My Fire Spirit Physique can burn everything, even peak sacred weapons can be reduced to ash. Let's see how you contend with me!"
"Flames Scorching the Heavens!"
"Wrath of the Overwhelming!"
"Fire Burns the Worlds…"
Qian Shibang unleashed his moves without reservation.
A terrifying sea of flames instantly engulfed the world of the Heavenly Dao Platform.
Rumble!
Endless flames, even through layers of arrays and void, filled the inside and outside of Heavenly Dao Mountain with blistering heat.
"It's over, it's over!"
"Qian Shibang fully unleashed the power of his Fire Spirit Physique, Xiao Yi can't withstand it…"
"Xiao Yi is doomed!"
The crowd sighed in unison.
But at this moment…
Ye Xiao Chun suddenly let out an exclamation: "No, look, everyone…"
The crowd followed the voice.
Amidst the endless flames, a silver light suddenly soared into the sky.
This was sword light!
A sword light that defies the heavens!
Swoosh!
Where the sword light passed, everything melted away.
The vast sea of flames was cleaved in two.
Within the flames…
A streak of sword light slashed down precisely from above Qian Shibang's head.
Boom!
An instant later, the world of flames was utterly extinguished.
Qian Shibang's figure trembled, split in half on the spot…
Xiao Yi stood holding the sword, coldly watching Qian Shibang, who was gradually losing consciousness, and pronounced each word: "I said, killing you is like butchering pigs and dogs!"
