103: Kill the Holy King again

"I am King Jiuyou of the Netherworld Hells."

His voice was not loud, yet it carried a majesty that reached deep into the Divine Soul, as if a deity governing death were passing judgment.

His gaze was sharp as a blade, seemingly able to see through all illusions. It lingered on Lin Dao for a moment before sweeping over the seven people behind him, Lin Hao and the others, who were standing in battle formation.

"Primordial Divine Demon Body... truly extraordinary. To be able to unleash combat power approaching the Saint King Realm while at the Saint Realm cultivation level, it is no wonder Ming Gu fell into your hands."

King Jiuyou's tone was flat, revealing no joy or anger. "However, your reliance ends here."

He changed the subject, his deep gaze locking onto the seven people, including Lin Hao. "The Legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor is not on you."

"It is within these seven brats. Very good, it saves me some trouble."

Who obtained the Legacy naturally could not be hidden from these powerhouses!

King Jiuyou cast his gaze back to Lin Dao, his killing intent no longer concealed. "Solving you, this troublesome Primordial Divine Demon Body, first, and then taking the Legacy, is the same."

In his view, although Lin Dao was a tough nut to crack, he was ultimately only at the Saint Realm.

And he was a powerhouse at the Saint King Realm Third Level! Saint King and Saint, seemingly only a one-realm difference, were actually worlds apart in terms of life level and Law mastery!

Saints control Laws, while Saint Kings initially create and define Laws! He had absolute confidence that he could crush Lin Dao.

King Jiuyou stopped wasting words and directly attacked.

He did not use any Magic Treasure, simply raising a withered palm and pressing it down from afar towards the direction where Lin Dao was.

"Netherworld Annihilation Palm."

As he pressed his palm down, the light between heaven and earth instantly dimmed, as if all vitality and color had been drained away.

A pure power of Law, representing the end of all things and the return to deathly silence, ignored spatial distance and acted directly upon Lin Dao's body!

This was not an energy attack, but an erasure at the level of Law!

Saint King Realm powerhouses could already rewrite the rules of reality on a small scale!

This palm of his was intended to forcibly define the space where Lin Dao existed, along with Lin Dao himself, from a state of "life" to "death" and "annihilation"!

Before the palm force arrived, the space around Lin Dao had already begun to collapse and annihilate on its own, turning into the most primitive void.

The earth below instantly lost all vitality; vegetation withered, and mountains and rivers lost their color.

Even light could not escape this defined "Dead Zone."

Those in the Saint Realm from the Kyushu mainland who had just achieved a Breakthrough, merely feeling the lingering ripples of this Law fluctuation, felt their own Dao Fruit becoming unstable, as if they too were about to be annihilated. Each of them turned pale with shock and retreated frantically.

This was the terror of the Saint King Realm!

"Old Ancestor!"

The hearts of Lin Hao and the other six, as well as all the Lin Clan disciples, were in their throats; this attack had completely exceeded their scope of understanding.

Facing this Law-defining attack that would drive any existence below the Saint King Realm to despair, Lin Dao still stood in place, not even changing his posture.

He only slightly raised his head, looking at King Jiuyou, who seemed to hold the power of life and death, and the corner of his mouth seemed to hook into an extremely faint, almost imperceptible arc.

"Saint King Realm Third Level... is that all you have?"

He whispered to himself, and immediately, the aura he had been deliberately suppressing erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years!

Saint King Realm First Level!

Although it was only just entering the Saint King Realm, the vast majesty that transcended Saints and belonged to a "King" swept out like a storm, instantly crushing the "deadly silent" Law Domain created by King Jiuyou!

The collapsing space was forcibly stabilized, the annihilated matter re-condensed, and the lost vitality returned once again!

"What?!" "Saint King Realm?!" "He... he is actually a Saint King?!"

This time, exclamations erupted like a tsunami from all the descended Ancient Great Clans!

Even those Saint King Realm powerhouses from other forces who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines suddenly opened their eyes, for the first time showing expressions of shock on their faces!

The Kyushu mainland actually gave birth to a Saint King?! This completely overturned their understanding!

How could a cage land that had been silent for ten thousand years and had incomplete rules possibly nurture a Saint King?!

King Jiuyou's face, hidden under his hood, also showed intense emotional fluctuations for the first time. His two deep eyes were filled with disbelief: "Saint King Realm?! You..."

His words were interrupted again.

The moment Lin Dao erupted with his aura, his figure had already disappeared from where he was.

The next moment, as if teleporting, he appeared directly in front of King Jiuyou! His speed was so fast that it far exceeded when he dealt with the Saint Ming Gu earlier!

It was also fingers joined like a sword.

But this time, what swirled around his fingertips was no longer Chaos Qi, but a Chaos Sword Qi condensed with Saint King Laws! Upon the Sword Qi, a terrifying implication of opening heaven and earth and resetting earth, water, fire, and wind was flowing!

"You take a sword strike from me as well."

Lin Dao's voice was calm, and his finger had already pointed out, stabbing directly at King Jiuyou's glabella!

King Jiuyou's pupils shrank, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him!

He roared crazily, and a monstrous amount of Netherworld Death Qi erupted from his body, condensing into an ancient shield engraved with countless fierce ghost runes, blocking in front of him, while his body retreated violently, attempting to increase the distance!

This was his life-bound defensive Divine Ability—the Ten Thousand Ghosts Netherworld Shield!

It was enough to withstand the full-force strike of a Saint King of the same level!

However, Lin Dao's seemingly ordinary finger tapped onto the Ten Thousand Ghosts Netherworld Shield.

Pfft—!

Like a red-hot branding iron cutting into ice and snow.

That Netherworld Shield, enough to make even a Saint King Realm Third Level powerhouse feel troubled, could not block it for even an instant before being easily pierced by the Chaos Sword Qi!

The fierce ghost runes engraved on the shield emitted shrill wails, instantly dimming and shattering!

The Sword Qi did not diminish in momentum, and in King Jiuyou's terrified gaze, it tapped onto his glabella.

Time seemed to freeze again.

King Jiuyou's violently retreating figure froze in mid-air, the surging Netherworld Death Qi around him seemingly frozen. In those deep eyes, there was extreme fear, confusion, and a trace of absurdity—he, King Jiuyou of the Netherworld Hells, a Saint King Realm Third Level powerhouse, was actually... about to be killed in one hit by a Lower Realm Saint King who had just achieved a Breakthrough?

Crack!

A faint cracking sound came from within his skull.

The next moment, his head, along with the Divine Soul and Saint King Dao Fruit inside, shattered with a bang like porcelain hit by a heavy blow!

Following that, his massive Saint King body also disintegrated inch by inch, turning into pure Netherworld energy, which was then swallowed up by the Chaos Qi around Lin Dao.

Another powerhouse, body and soul destroyed!

This time, it was a Saint King Realm Third Level!

Between heaven and earth, only Lin Dao remained hovering in place, the Saint King aura around him slowly receding, as if he had just casually swatted a buzzing fly.

The whole scene was dead silent.

All the descended Ancient Great Clans, whether at the Saint Realm or Saint King Realm, were staring fixedly at Lin Dao at this moment, their eyes filled with unprecedented gravity, wariness, and even a trace of... terror!

The Kyushu mainland actually hid such a terrifying Saint King!

And King Jiuyou's words before dying also made them understand instantly—the true Legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was on those seven Lin family juniors who had just broken through to the Xiaoyao Realm!

For a moment, countless greedy, fiery, and scrutinizing gazes shot towards the seven people, including Lin Hao and Ye Chen, like sharp arrows!
