470: Chapter 470 The Man in the Black Mist

Ye Qing looked at the light screen, his heart stirred. Good heavens.

He had actually reached the King-level without even using an upgrade card.

However, it seemed that these upgrade cards could be used later to ascend to even higher Realms.

Ye Qing thought to himself, then felt the surging energy within his body; he still needed to consolidate it properly...

Afterward, Ye Qing closed his eyes again.

The next moment.

The surrounding air suddenly began to churn.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened sharply, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

What kind of power is this?

Ye Qing, is he absorbing the energy from the surrounding air?!

What kind of suction force is this...

"This kid, the way he looks, he has already entered the King-level and is now in the process of consolidating his Realm..." King Fenghai said, his voice trembling. However, no one around him mocked him, as their own faces were filled with shock. Ye Qing's talent was simply too terrifying, to the point where it made them break out in a cold sweat.

A twenty-year-old King-level Expert.

Even the previous Leader didn't have such a speed of advancement!

"What a terrifying suction force. When I advanced to the King-level, I only absorbed energy within a radius of a few miles, but this sensation from Ye Qing seems like it will extend for hundreds of miles, or even further!"

"Indeed, I feel like the energy within my own body is being stirred up. If I weren't controlling it now, I fear this energy would burst out of my body."

"Terrifying, he is truly a Prodigy..."

In an instant, the group of King-level Experts began to exclaim in awe.

Subsequently, they saw the color of Ye Qing's body changing again, shifting from the previous golden-yellow to now being surrounded by thunder and karmic fire.

The thunder and karmic fire were now entwined around Ye Qing, as if tempering his body.

Nearby, the group of King-level Experts watched this situation; was Ye Qing actually taking this opportunity to temper his body?

Feeling the presence of the thunder and karmic fire, the group of King-level Experts looked at each other.

"Old Jing, how do you feel? If you were in the midst of this karmic fire and thunder, your body..." the King of the Western Frontier asked. King Fenghai shook his head, "I probably wouldn't be able to last very long. After all, both the thunder and the karmic fire contain heavenly might; they are not things one can stay in for long."

"Indeed. But Ye Qing has already been here for so long, and he is still tempering himself."

"That's why he is called a Prodigy, and you are not."

King Fenghai: "..."

After a while, Ye Qing had consolidated his Realm.

It could be said that he was very stable in the early stage of the King-level.

He opened his eyes, and a sharp, piercing light shot out from them. As everyone watched, they felt their hearts tremble. What kind of light was this? It was so sharp.

They felt the Aura erupting from Ye Qing's body.

This Aura was far above theirs.

Ye Qing's current strength, compared to those old men living in seclusion within the Imperial Capital Barrier, probably didn't fall short, right?

This vast energy made people feel a sense of despair.

It was like looking up at a high mountain; it was impossible to catch up.

Afterward, Ye Qing stood up, looking at the people not far away, a smile on his face.

Seeing Ye Qing stand up, everyone hurriedly walked over.

"Ye Qing, how is it?"

"You've entered the King-level, right?"

"You kid, you are simply a Prodigy..."

As everyone spoke, Ye Qing also smiled, "Indeed, I just entered the King-level and consolidated my strength."

"It's just that the commotion I caused was a bit large."

"I made you all worry."

As Ye Qing spoke, the others waved their hands.

"We weren't really worried, just shocked. I've realized that during this time I've been at the Modu Barrier, you've given me a huge shock. I'm afraid that after I go back, when I look at those old men living in seclusion in the Imperial Capital, they won't feel terrifying anymore."

The War King said, laughing.

"Let's go. We'll explore around here a bit more. Your commotion just now wasn't small. Let's explore the surroundings and then head out, otherwise, who knows if it will attract some powerful exotic beasts." King Fenghai said, and everyone nodded.

After all, the momentum Ye Qing created just now was too great; such a spectacle could very likely attract powerful exotic beasts.

Although Ye Qing's strength had increased, if he were to truly face such top-tier exotic beasts, perhaps only the Leader would be able to slay them.

Subsequently, Ye Qing looked around and raised his hand, holding the black lotus in his palm.

Then, the karmic fire began to burn!

Karmic fire filled the sky!

This...

Watching this, everyone felt chills rising from their feet, shooting straight to their scalps. What kind of technique was this?

It seemed that after Ye Qing became a King-level, this technique became even more terrifying?

Before, it was just burning a little bit, but now it was burning in large swathes?

However, the effect was exceptional. After a while, this black mist was completely burned away by Ye Qing.

The entire area was revealed before everyone's eyes.

"It looks like there are no stone statues, nor anything else."

"Hmm, after all, stone statues aren't that easy to find. In the Fissures that have appeared within China, the number of stone statues can be counted on two hands. However, there are still some stone statues in many Fissures outside the territory. If there is a chance, we can go to the Fissures outside the territory to take a look."

"Outside the territory? Forget it. Those guys don't welcome us; we'd better not go and make ourselves unwelcome..."

King Fenghai waved his hand, then looked at Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, shall we head out first?"

"Alright."

Ye Qing also nodded. After all, he knew that the commotion from his advancement just now was simply too great, and this would definitely attract the attention of some exotic beasts.

It was better to head out first and not bring disaster to the Sucheng Barrier.

Afterward.

They walked toward the outside.

A while later.

Hundreds of miles away.

In the black mist.

A figure was moving through the black mist.

In his hand, he was holding a gigantic crystal core.

This crystal core was significantly larger than the crystal cores of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Snow Wolf, and other exotic beasts.

That person then stopped.

"The Aura from just now seems to have vanished; it didn't last."

"It's really strange. The way it looked, was some powerful exotic beast breaking through?"

"It feels like it, but also like it doesn't. However, the Aura has ended now, and in this vast black mist, it's not easy to search for it."
