415: Demon Lord

Internal strife within the Yao Race was nothing new.

The battles between the Lion Clan and Hu Gang were also frequent occurrences.

One against three.

Every time, it ended without a resolution.

So.

After the other Yao Race members backed away, they simply watched with a spectator's mindset.

What else could happen?

It would just be the same old story.

They wouldn't be able to pull off anything spectacular, would they?

Those Ascension Nine experts were all smiles; as long as they weren't the ones on the field, it was fine.

Unification of the Yao Race?

Stop joking.

Only your two clans take it seriously.

Now that the universe is in chaos, everyone can make a fortune just by scavenging outside. Why dream of becoming Great Clans!

However, that was easier said than done.

The Yao Race was still the Yao Race. If someone truly raised the banner... Great Clans...

It wasn't impossible.

To put it bluntly.

The Yao Race had some spirit; they were just a bit laid-back.

Furthermore, there was no external pressure.

---Boom!

The great battle began.

When Ascension Nine experts went all out, it was earth-shattering.

Ordinary space in the universe simply couldn't withstand it.

In an instant, the four of them fought their way into the depths of space.

And the more they fought, the more alarmed Kesi and the others became.

Hu Gang.

He was different.

He seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

His overall attacks became increasingly ferocious, and his methods more majestic.

That pair of tiger claws was already developing toward weaponization.

'A Rule Divine Weapon?'

'You've got to be kidding me!'

Kesi was deeply moved.

He also understood that Hu Gang must have had a fortuitous encounter; otherwise, he wouldn't be so full of confidence this time.

"Kesi, this time, I will definitely avenge the previous sneak attack!"

Hu Gang was in a rage.

And in his rage, his strength was constantly being amplified.

Laceration.

That was his rule.

As his anger erupted, this intent to lacerate became even stronger.

"Hu Gang, if I could knock you into the Calamity Chaos last time, you might not have such luck this time!"

Kesi was relentless with his words.

His attacks also became increasingly fierce.

Unlike the Tiger Clan.

The Lion Clan had joint attack techniques!

Both sides knew each other's secrets.

They also knew that the other possessed an Ascension Technique.

The real difference was that Hu Gang had used his Ascension Technique before; his technique had been tested in actual combat.

The Lion Clan's Ascension Technique only existed on paper; it had never been truly used, let alone in battle.

"Hesitant and indecisive."

Hu Gang roared angrily;

"Afraid to measure the depths of the universe, afraid to seize the sun and moon of the world."

"You, Kesi, do not have the Aura of a Great Clan leader!"

"Let me teach you what it means to be the Co-Lord of the Great Clans!"

After speaking.

Hu Gang did not hold back at all.

The rule of Laceration surrounded his body.

Space was directly frozen; this was a strong interference from the Will of Heaven.

It was the precursor to activating an Ascension Technique.

"You..."

Kesi's eyes filled with horror;

"You're crazy. If you activate an Ascension Technique, the Peak Great Clans will come to kill us."

"Heh, Peak Great Clans?"

Hu Gang snorted coldly;

"From this moment on, my Yao Race is also a Peak Great Clan!"

"They want to come and kill us? It's not yet certain who will kill whom!"

Unparalleled dominance!

At this moment, Hu Gang was the Co-Lord of the Great Clans.

At least he wouldn't be hesitant like Kesi.

Heart-Nature.

Once it was established, strength, temperament, and even Aura would follow.

Just like a person; if you first straighten your bent back, your entire temperament will change!

At this moment, Hu Gang was like an old farmer who had been hunched over for countless years, finally straightening his back.

So—the Co-Lord of the Yao Race should be like this!

"Ascension Technique, Universe Lament!"

Hu Gang shouted loudly.

The universe wailed, and the mountains sighed.

The Yao Race across the universe felt sorrow in their hearts.

They couldn't help but howl.

It seemed they were calling for the King of the Yao Race.

Stars shone brightly in the Yao Race territories.

The high mountains of the planets were covered in white snow, a scene of solitude.

In the vast universe, how could the Yao Race not have a King?

Sharp claws sliced through the Void Realm amidst countless earnest expectations.

At the Peak of the mountain ranges, the Yao Race finally welcomed their own ruler!

The Mountain God!

Has returned!

Roar!!!

The tiger's roar echoed the wailing.

A massive white tiger roared forth.

It carried the infinite Will of Heaven.

The prelude to the Tiger Clan's Ascension Technique had begun.

Now;

Ascension Technique: Wrathful Roar!

The enormous phantom of the white tiger struck out with a savage claw.

Ten million miles of the universe were instantly torn open.

Within was an infinite intent to lacerate.

Kesi's eyes widened in shock, his heart filled with terror;

"To think it has reached such a level!"

"He actually performed the Ascension Technique to such an extent!"

"How can this be, how could it be like this!"

An Ascension Technique was synonymous with the Will of Heaven.

It meant wielding the Will of Heaven within a certain area for a short period.

The more powerful the Ascension Technique.

The more it gave people a certain feeling, and that was;

The Will of Heaven cannot be defied!

At this moment, Kesi clearly felt this Will of Heaven.

It could not be defied!

Whomever It wanted to tear apart, It would tear apart.

This was the Will of Heaven!

"Wait, He—"

Kesi's heart shook violently. At this moment, he understood;

"The Path of the Sovereign. So, you've found your own Path of the Sovereign!"

"All of you, stand back!"

Kesi roared.

He pushed Kaiya and the other person away.

The three Ascension Nine experts of the Lion Clan could not all die here.

The Co-Lord of the Yao Race had already been born.

Hu Gang had come carrying terrifying Will of Heaven and destiny.

He had won!

But even if he won, he would not completely exterminate the Lion Clan.

Because.

The Path of the Sovereign should not be like that!

"Clan Chief!"

Kaiya and the other's eyes turned blood-red.

"For the Yao Race."

Kesi said.

In truth.

It was very helpless.

Kesi knew himself; he was no tragic hero.

Cooperating with the Great Clans to become the head of the Yao Race was mostly for vanity and profit.

But when a true Co-Lord of the Yao Race appeared.

And it happened to be his enemy.

Kesi simply wanted to minimize the losses of his own clan.

Perhaps.

This motive would not be mentioned.

At least for now, he still looked quite heroic.

Kesi watched as the white tiger phantom charged toward him.

He met it head-on without hesitation.

Since the outcome was already fixed, he might as well follow his heart.

In terms of size.

Kesi was so tiny before the white tiger phantom.

Like a moth flying into a candle flame.

And then.

The outcome was just like a moth to a flame.

The massive white tiger phantom directly tore Kesi apart, even... erasing him!

In accordance with the Will of Heaven.

It should be so.

This was the true intent of the Ascension Technique!

Killing you.

Was not just killing you.

But erasing all traces of you.

What remained was only you in everyone's memories.

Because in reality, nothing of you would be left!

Countless members of the Yao Race watched this scene, all of them dumbfounded.

Kesi had been killed.

He was killed just like that.

While Hu Gang was performing the Ascension Technique, performing it openly and grandly.

"How does he dare—"

"An Ascension Technique!"

"It is the Will of Heaven, the Will of Heaven!"

"Kesi... what a pity."

"The Co-Lord of the Yao Race has been born!"

"Wait, this is bad. The Ascension Technique will attract a siege from the Great Clans."

"This—"

---The expressions of the Yao Race crowd changed repeatedly.

Should they run?

Or... hold their ground.

This was a very difficult choice!
