162: The ancient Titan creature, King Kong!

Actually, when Xia Fan faced the image converging in the sky, he wasn't entirely sure if it was a method only possessed by Fifth-Order powerhouses.

Because regarding the power of the Fifth-Order, he had only heard rumors; neither in his previous life nor this one did he know too many of its secrets and might.

The Blue Octopus King was merely a pseudo-Fifth-Order and couldn't achieve such a feat.

Just as he was pondering, the image in the sky once again transmitted Qiongqi's voice.

“Soon, I will come for your life!”

Qiongqi was very smug, full of the intent of an arrogant declaration of war, “After killing you, I will become the most powerful ruler before the world completely changes!”

“By then, this king will be one in a million; this king will rule the world!”

“World changes?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan's eyelids suddenly twitched, and his expression became exceptionally solemn.

Qiongqi's declaration of war, seemingly simple, actually revealed a lot of information.

Just like this 'world completely changes,' it clearly indicated that Qiongqi also knew some things: “It seems that after Qiongqi's strength increased this time, he also learned some secrets.”

“I just don't know how much he actually understood.”

However, after his mind calmed down, Xia Fan's previous apprehension vanished, replaced by a surge of heroic spirit!

He had come from an ordinary tiger to his current well-known status, expending countless thoughts and efforts, and on several occasions, he had fought his way out of extremely dangerous situations.

Therefore, even if Qiongqi had entered the Fifth-Order ahead of time, what of it?

With his current strength, combined with the Diamond Cutter and the eastern emperor bell, even a Fifth-Order being would be a match, and he might even be able to defeat some ordinary Fifth-Order creatures!

As time passed, Qiongqi's projection in the sky had dissipated.

Xia Fan's mood, however, grew more urgent; this was a desire for strength and a degree of control over the coming great changes.

Only by breaking through to the Fifth-Order, reaching that extraordinary step, could he once again seize the initiative in the impending world changes.

“By then, my life and death won't be subject to the world changes; I will be my own master!”

“In my current state, as long as I devour two more powerful creatures above the late Fourth-Order, I should be able to step into the Fifth-Order!”

It must be said that although Qiongqi's advancement made Xia Fan feel a sense of urgency, it also allowed him to recognize the specific gap between himself and the Fifth-Order.

Unconsciously, Xia Fan suddenly thought of a few famous figures from his previous life and, because of this, a thought emerged, “There shouldn't be any powerful creatures on Freedom Island. Ta Mu and the others can handle the situation there. It's time to visit that place...”

Thinking of this, Xia Fan still didn't rush towards Freedom Island; instead, he directly changed direction, preparing to make a trip to the Antarctic Glacier, where he might successfully achieve his wish... Meanwhile, on Freedom Island.

Due to the rampage of fierce beasts like Ta Mu and King Kong, 30% of the combat facilities within Freedom Island had been destroyed.

Countless soldiers were killed or wounded.

It could be said that the military power within Freedom Island had been completely crippled, utterly devoid of any ability to resist.

“Surrender!”

“We surrender!”

In front of Ta Mu and the other fierce beasts, a group of high-ranking officials from Freedom Island raised white flags, almost impatiently making this decision, “We are very sorry for the previous action against the Eastern Tiger King, and we have realized our mistake.”

“Although the Eastern Tiger King was not greatly harmed by this, you all have come a long way, and your anger must be considerable.”

“After so much killing, your anger should be subsiding, but our Freedom Island cannot fail to express ourselves. We are willing to make compensation that satisfies the Eastern Tiger King, and we only ask for the Eastern Tiger King's forgiveness to quell your anger!”

The high-ranking officials of Freedom Island had no choice but to do this.

If they continued fighting, their army would truly be gone; this was the best way to preserve their active forces.

And Ta Mu, King Kong, and the other fierce beasts, upon hearing these words, all stopped their actions.

Ta Mu even looked at the beasts and said in a solemn voice, “Before we set off, the Great King instructed us that this time we are to hit Freedom Island hard, to cripple them severely, but not to slaughter civilians.”

“So we have only been targeting Freedom Island's military facilities.”

Pausing, Ta Mu continued, “Now, the people of Freedom Island have surrendered, and the Great King's instructions have been fulfilled. Should we accept their terms?”

Hearing this, all the fierce beasts considered it seriously for a moment and felt it was best to act according to Xia Fan's instructions.

If they didn't stop now, they would inevitably accidentally injure civilians.

Immediately, the fierce beasts, led by Ta Mu and King Kong, expressed their willingness to accept Freedom Island's compensation, but the details still needed to be discussed.

Freedom Island, of course, agreed without hesitation!

...Outside the northern border of Great Xia.

In a country passionate about fighting.

A group of high-ranking officials gathered in front of a giant screen, intently watching the images within, revealing hints of excitement.

“Freedom Island is truly miserable this time; these fierce beasts have tormented them to the brink of destruction.”

“Their luck is just too bad!”

“They aren't unlucky.”

At this moment, the leader of the Fighting Country shook his head slightly and said earnestly, “The Eastern Tiger King is so powerful. Although no one predicted it, he could even easily kill that Serpent Demon and wreak havoc on Sakura Island, which proves his extraordinary strength.”

“And Freedom Island, knowing that there were no strong individuals in their country, still deliberately went to war with the Eastern Tiger King. This is a path to self-destruction.”

“Therefore, Freedom Island's current state is entirely their own doing!”

Upon hearing this, all the high-ranking officials nodded in agreement, and then the leader of the Fighting Country made the final decision, “Proceed with the arrangements you discussed earlier!”

“Immediately dispatch our fleet and submarines along the pre-scouted routes to find the weak points of the Freedom Country and strive to take it down in one fell swoop.”

“Yes!”

...“Roar!”

On his way to the Antarctic Glacier, Xia Fan killed many sea creatures.

However, he hadn't encountered any above the late Fourth-Order. He continuously used Void Traversing, intending to reach the Antarctic Glacier.

But as he approached the waters near Great Ao Island, he suddenly heard an angry roar, and then a colossal creature abruptly appeared in his line of sight.

The giant beast roared at him incessantly.

It seemed to imply that it wouldn't let him leave without a fight.

Because he was in a hurry, Xia Fan originally didn't want to waste time with it.

Once he saw the opponent's true form clearly, Xia Fan was slightly surprised, “King Kong?”

Now, he was facing a true King Kong.

An… ancient Titan creature!
