870: Chapter Challenges the Ten Monarchs

Luo Xiu's voice was not loud, but it caused the entire scene to fall silent.

Defeating a Monarch-level expert in just three moves, even if it wasn't a life-or-death battle, showed the gap between them.

"Luo Xiu, I admit your strength, but can you truly withstand the attacks of several of us?"

The Phantom Monarch's voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying a trace of chill that made people shudder.

Its eyes, hidden within the ghostly mist, were like two dancing, ghostly green flames, revealing endless greed and killing intent.

As its voice fell, a powerful pressure was suddenly released like a landslide or tidal wave.

This pressure was actually comparable to a Peak Tier 3 expert, making it hard to breathe.

The Xuanlian Monarch on the side saw this and also spoke up.

"Luo Xiu, you must think clearly.

Even if you are powerful, how many can you block? Two? Three? Or five?

If we all attack together, even a Tier 4 expert definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it, let alone you!"

Its words appeared to be advice on the surface, but in reality, they were full of threats.

"Luo Xiu, if you're sensible, hurry up and step aside!

Once we seize the Star Core, the planet's barrier will naturally dissolve.

At that time, you people will be able to freely roam the Universe; isn't that a wonderful thing?"

Before the Xuanlian Monarch's voice could fade, one Monarch-level expert after another stepped out. Powerful pressure radiated from their bodies, like immovable mountains.

Heavenly Fire Monarch, Ice Soul Monarch, Skeleton Monarch, Earth Rock Monarch, Monarch Wan Yi!

Xuanlian Monarch, White Dragon Monarch, Phantom Monarch, Phantom Monarch, Ruoshui Monarch!

A full ten Monarch-level experts; their combined pressure formed a terrifying force sufficient to make the heavens and earth change color.

The terrifying pressure originally released by Luo Xiu was instantly suppressed, but Luo Xiu felt not a shred of fear; instead, he threw his head back and laughed.

Luo Xiu's wild laughter was like billions of invisible giant hammers, smashing fiercely against the solidified air, causing the Void Realm to hum.

The patch of land beneath his feet, which had been plowed into fragments by the torrent of energy, actually collapsed several more meters downward amidst this laughter!

Opposite him, the ten Monarch-level pressures converged into a destructive ocean of energy, blotting out the sky and sun, enough to crush stars!

At that very instant, time seemed to freeze, and the entire Universe trembled.

That seemingly unstoppable ocean of energy now, as if it had crashed into a divine demon reef spanning the Universe, emitted a dull, thunderous roar three feet in front of Luo Xiu.

This sound was like a roar from the depths of Hell, deafening and hair-raising.

That powerful wave was forcibly blocked and torn apart, as if it had been gripped by an invisible giant hand and then violently ripped open.

This scene was jaw-dropping and unbelievable.

"Threaten this King?"

Luo Xiu's laughter stopped abruptly, and his heterochromatic gold and dark eyes suddenly ignited with substantial flames.

Wherever his gaze fell, space began to distort, as if it could not withstand his terrifying pressure.

"Do you even deserve to?!"

Luo Xiu's voice was like a fiend from the Nine Nether Hell, cold and filled with endless killing intent.

The moment the last syllable fell, he moved!

Without any buildup or warning, his movements were as fast as lightning, leaving no time for anyone to react.

He saw his right fist, covered in the God-Devil Armguards, like a world-destroying Vicious Beast waking from an ancient slumber, carrying the most primitive and pure will of destruction, striking forward violently without any flair!

This punch was like a volcanic eruption and a thunderous strike; its power was simply beyond imagination.

The power contained within that fist seemed capable of tearing through the Void Realm and destroying stars.

"Roar—!"

Following Luo Xiu's roar, this punch, like a meteorite striking the Earth, smashed fiercely toward the Ruoshui Monarch, whose aura had not yet stabilized.

Where the fist was aimed, that towering, dark gold divine demon phantom emitted a silent roar, its massive fist instantly merging with Luo Xiu's fist shadow!

Time seemed to freeze for an instant, and the next moment, space, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, emitted a groan that made the Soul tremble!

A deep, straight, all-consuming black Void Realm channel instantly formed, striking straight at the Ruoshui Monarch!

The smile on the Ruoshui Monarch's beautiful face instantly froze; she hadn't expected Luo Xiu to strike her directly!

However, she reacted in just an instant, because that fatal crisis was enough to make one's heart stop.

After a sharp cry, the life-bound water essence within her body burned frantically, regardless of the cost.

A cerulean, diamond-shaped water shield condensed once more, thicker than before, with countless mysterious runes spinning frantically within it, attempting to dissipate the force.

At the same time, the cracked neon dress erupted with its final radiance, and layers of water curtains stacked in front of her like deep-sea barriers.

Boom—!!!

The dark gold fist seal made contact with the water shield.

There was no stalemate, no deafening explosion.

There was only a tooth-aching "crack" sound of the spatial structure being forcibly crushed.

That water shield, which was enough to withstand the full-force strike of a peer Monarch, along with the layers of water curtains behind it, were like thin ice under the scorching sun. They couldn't even hold for half a breath before disintegrating and annihilating silently under the crushing weight of the dark gold fist seal!

The protective neon dress shattered completely into points of light filling the sky!

"Pfft!"

The Ruoshui Monarch flew backward like a kite with a broken string, the pale blue blood spraying from her mouth drawing a tragic arc in the Void Realm before finally crashing heavily into the ground below.

This time, the aura on her body flickered violently like a candle in the wind, and the shock in her eyes completely turned into fear.

If not for her deep Foundation, this punch would have been enough to blast her to pieces!

One punch, and the Ruoshui Monarch was heavily injured and on the verge of death!

This earth-shattering scene caused the pupils of the other nine Monarchs to shrink suddenly, their minds shaken violently!

However, Luo Xiu's movements didn't pause for a second, because even though he was arrogant, he was no fool.

With the ten Monarchs joining forces, even he didn't have absolute certainty.

But since it involved Li Wuji, he had to stop these people no matter what, even if it cost him his own life!

The next moment, before the fist force that had sent the Ruoshui Monarch flying had even fully retracted, his figure had already shifted sideways like a ghost!

The target—Heavenly Fire Monarch!

"Damn it! Watch out!"

Monarch Wan Yi warned sharply, its wings vibrating, causing spatial ripples to spread as it tried to intercept.

Too late!

Luo Xiu spread the five fingers of his left hand, and within his palm, the God-Demon Flame intertwined to form a rapidly rotating miniature vortex!

A terrifying devouring force, originating from the primordial flood and superior to all fires, erupted with a roar!

The crimson gold flames boiling around the Heavenly Fire Monarch seemed to have encountered their natural nemesis!

That terrifying sea of fire, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, and causing space to distort, uncontrollably and frantically rolled backward, turning into wailing fire dragons that were brutally torn and devoured by the small vortex in Luo Xiu's palm!

"What kind of flame is this?!"
