305: The flawed jade is the king (44)

At the rear of the crowd, Yu Tianheng stared fixedly at the emerald barrier that had not yet completely dissipated.

That vibrant aura of life, that domineering method of manipulating all things to nourish oneself...

It was far too familiar.

He looked toward Luo Xi and the other Prodigies of the Great You Sacred Dynasty.

All the clues connected. Even if the white-robed youth's face was obscured by mist and his heavenly secrets were completely shielded, the answer was already obvious.

“It's him...”

Yu Tianheng's heart jolted as a chill surged through him.

The figure who had crushed him with absolute strength on the Guantai Terrace once again overlapped with the person before him.

Wang Yun.

Flee.

This was the first thought that popped into Yu Tianheng's mind.

Even though he was now at the Peak of the Heavenly God Realm, and even though he believed his strength was no longer what it used to be, the moment he recognized Wang Yun, he still instinctively wanted to escape.

However, just as he moved his feet, he came to a dead stop.

He looked around.

The top Prodigies from all realms along the Ancient Starry Road were gathered here.

King-sealing level experts were everywhere, and there were even several powerful Quasi-Supreme freaks.

“What am I afraid of?”

Yu Tianheng roared at himself in his heart, forcibly suppressing the shameful trembling.

“I am at the Peak of the Heavenly God Realm now, only one step away from being a Supreme.”

“I have the Saint Eye, I have the Supreme Bone, and I have countless trump cards.”

“Moreover...”

His gaze swept over the surrounding Prodigies whose eyes were spitting fire, and he smiled coldly.

“He has incurred public wrath.”

“There are over a hundred top Prodigies here; they could drown him with their spit alone. No matter how strong he is, can he really kill everyone here?”

Having rationalized this, Yu Tianheng didn't leave. Instead, he took a step back and faded into the shadows of the crowd.

“I still need to be cautious.”

His hands quickly formed seals, and an obscure fluctuation enveloped his entire body.

This was a secret technique he had obtained from an ancient ruin—the Shadow Killing Art.

It could completely erase his aura, allowing him to lurk in the Void Realm like a ghost, difficult to detect even for a Supreme with powerful Divine Thought.

He was waiting.

Waiting for this pack of mad dogs to tear Wang Yun until he was covered in wounds, waiting for the moment Wang Yun showed a weakness.

He wanted to personally send this arch-enemy on his way.

However.

Just as he thought he was hidden perfectly.

In the center of the field, Wang Yun slightly tilted his head.

Under the Heart Heavy Pupils, nothing could stay hidden.

In his eyes, Yu Tianheng's clumsy concealment method was like a clown draped in transparent gauze, sticking his rear out and thinking no one could see him.

Even the path of spiritual energy circulating within Yu Tianheng's body and that venomous strike he was preparing were clearly visible to him.

Wang Yun smiled faintly.

“Want to play dirty?”

“Then I'll play with you.”

He withdrew his gaze and ignored that petty clown, turning instead to look at the surrounding Prodigies who were already unable to restrain themselves.

“Your Excellency is being a bit too domineering.”

A youth carrying an ancient sword, radiating a cold Sword Qi, stepped out.

He was a top Sword Cultivator from an ancient realm, his cultivation base already at the Quasi-Supreme level, and he was very famous on the Ancient Road.

“This Lunar dao seed is a divine treasure of heaven and earth, to be held by the virtuous. Aren't you afraid of choking by swallowing it all alone?”

Another burly alien Prodigy, covered in black scales and carrying a massive spiked mace, snorted coldly with murderous intent.

“Hand over the dao seed, and we'll leave your corpse intact.”

“Otherwise, this place shall be your grave today.”

As the few leaders spoke, nearly a hundred Prodigies in the surroundings stepped forward simultaneously.

Boom!

Nearly a hundred powerful auras intertwined into a storm, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort under the pressure.

Luo Xi's face was pale, but she did not back down.

“Clang!”

The longsword in her hand unsheathed, her Lunar Divine Power circulating as she stood firmly behind Wang Yun.

The few Great You Prodigies also summoned their Magic Treasures, their expressions resolute.

“Young Master, let's fight them to the death!”

“Fight?”

Wang Yun smiled. He reached out and pressed down the sword Luo Xi had raised, his expression calm.

“Just a few flies, why risk your lives.”

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the greedy expressions of the crowd, and said,

“You want it?”

He tossed the dao seed in his hand.

“Come and get it yourselves.”

“Arrogant!”

“Seeking death!”

“Kill him!”

This action completely ignited the powder keg.

“I don't believe you alone can block all of us!”

The Sword Cultivator with the ancient sword was the first to strike. The sword box behind him swung open, and thousands of strands of Sword Qi poured down.

Simultaneously, the other Prodigies also unleashed their strongest Divine Abilities.

A torrent of various Divine Abilities covered the sky, threatening to submerge the white-robed figure.

However, just as this sky-covering offensive was about to hit him,

A bolt of black lightning abruptly charged from the side.

It was a thin, small alien with a cold aura who had been biding his time. The moment everyone else attacked, he moved.

He was extremely fast.

So fast that he didn't even leave an afterimage.

He was a Quasi-Supreme Prodigy who specialized in speed and assassination. On the Ancient Starry Road, he had used this technique to assassinate several powerful enemies.

“Die!”

A pitch-black dagger, carrying the poison of the Law of Corrosion, stabbed directly toward the back of Wang Yun's heart.

This strike was too cunning, too swift.

Even Luo Xi didn't have time to cry out in alarm.

In everyone's eyes, the white-robed youth was surely dead.

However.

In Wang Yun's eyes, the world looked different.

Heart Heavy Pupils activated.

Time seemed to stretch and slow down.

Too slow.

Wang Yun didn't even turn around.

He simply reached back and, as if shooing a fly, casually slapped out.

Slap!

A crisp explosion rang out, drowning out the roar of the sky-filling Divine Abilities.

The Quasi-Supreme assassin, who had been charging at high speed, suddenly jerked to a halt.

Immediately after,

His head snapped back unnaturally, and his entire body flew backward like a cannonball at an even faster speed.

Boom!

He crashed violently into a distant stone mountain, which instantly collapsed and buried him.

His fate was unknown.

“...”

The field fell silent for a moment.

“What are you standing there for! Attack together!”

Someone roared, breaking the stalemate.

Since they had already started, there was no turning back.

Rumble!

The torrent of nearly a hundred Divine Abilities finally descended.

Wang Yun no longer held back.

“Begone.”

He took a step forward, his Supreme Body fully awakening.

Purple, green, and gold divine lights surged, turning into an indestructible circular shockwave that swept out in all directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those terrifyingly powerful Divine Abilities shattered and dissipated the moment they touched this shockwave.

Wang Yun charged into the crowd.

Like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

He didn't use any fancy Divine Abilities, only the purest strength of his Physical Body.

One punch.

That burly alien Prodigy, along with his spiked mace, was sent flying until he vanished from sight.

One kick.

The ancient sword in the hand of that Taichu Sword Seed snapped, his chest caved in, and he flew back spitting blood.

No one was his match for even a single exchange.

His figure weaved through the crowd. Every time he struck, a Prodigy either fell or was severely injured.

Before long, their numbers had been reduced by over a dozen. These dozen people were not nobodies; the weakest among them were King-sealing Prodigies.

Is this the Supreme Body?

Is this what it means to be invincible among one's peers?

They felt as if they were facing not a person, but a primordial Vicious Beast.

“Who else?”

Wang Yun stood among the crowd, his white robes spotless.

In the shadows.

Yu Tianheng watched this scene, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Too strong.

He was strong to the point of despair.

But the malice in his eyes did not dissipate; instead, it grew even more intense.

“Even if you have the Supreme Body, even if your Physical Body is unparalleled...”

“In the end, you are still human.”

“As a human, you will have weaknesses.”

He stared intently at Wang Yun, his Saint Eye operating at full power, trying to find even the slightest flaw in that invincible figure.

Finally.

While Wang Yun was fighting three Quasi-Supreme Prodigies,

He saw Wang Yun's protective divine light fluctuate for a split second.

It was the instant when old strength was exhausted and new strength had yet to be born.

“Now!”

Yu Tianheng seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He no longer hid.

The power he had been accumulating for a long time erupted all at once.

This was a killing blow.

“Die, Wang Yun!”

Yu Tianheng's expression was both gratified and crazed.

He could almost see Wang Yun's head hitting the ground.

However.

Just as he was about to hit Wang Yun,

The figure that had been facing away from him smiled coldly.

“I've been waiting for you for a long time.”

“My dear cousin.”
