Chapter 1188: Chapter 1166: Slay the Blood Pupil, Eradicate the Concealed Risk!

"Kill!"

Xiao Chen, following the divine path, instantly crossed space and time to arrive before the body of the Purple Pupil King, his combat power reaching its peak in the blink of an eye as he launched another all-out attack!

The alien king before him must be slain—for it concerned his very life and safety!

Gu Ling had only just stepped into the threshold of Wang Jing, how could he stand a chance against the Purple Pupil King? Thankfully, it had taken Xiao Chen but a few breaths to eliminate King Luo Shan.

Even though it was only a matter of those few breaths, Gu Ling was already struggling to hold on, luckily supported by the entire Earth below him.

"Stay put!"

Xiao Chen’s black hair flew about, his eyes cold and domineering as he wielded the Heaven-lifting Divine Spear once again, bringing a skyful of murderous intent as it descended.

"Damn it!"

The Purple Pupil King cursed lowly. Xiao Chen had taken only a few breaths to slay King Luo Shan, and that had not escaped his notice. If even King Luo Shan was not a match, let alone him.

His own strength was but barely stepping into the fourth realm of kingship. Because of good fortune, he had managed to construct a small world prematurely; his combat power was unmatched in his realm, no doubt, but that depended on who the opponent was.

Boom!

Gazing at Xiao Chen’s piercing divine spear, the next moment, two dark eyes materialized behind the Purple Pupil King.

"Illusionary Void!"

This was a bloodline technique from the Scorpion People’s Blood Pupil lineage. In an instant, the entire Sky Vault dimmed, seemingly transforming into a dark world where the scent of getting lost began to spread.

The Heaven-lifting Divine Spear seemed stuck in a quagmire, its edge that could pierce Heaven and Earth now seemingly drowning, and even Xiao Chen himself felt a slight impact.

"Trivial tricks!"

A trace of coldness appeared at the corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth as he rekindled the divine radiance of the Heaven-lifting Divine Spear and cleaved through the Void.

Crackle!

The overwhelming aura tore through the entire world, and divine light ripped the Sky Vault apart. Following the rupture, Xiao Chen descended once again before the Purple Pupil King.

"Kill!"

Seeing Xiao Chen easily tear through his attack, the Purple Pupil King’s hands produced a stele-like Jade Celestial Gate.

Boom!

The two finally collided, their violent powers sweeping across the Sky Vault, unconcerned, plunging into the meteorite belt above the fiery Mars.

The surging King’s Momentum rippled like waves, each strike annihilating countless meteorites.

"To kill me won’t be so easy. Great Scorpion God, your bloodline needs your power to exterminate this evil!"

The disheveled Purple Pupil King, his armor battered, now held the Jade Celestial Gate with a conviction that bordered on madness.

He did not wish to die. Although kings were not so easily killed, the person standing before him was a veritable god of slaughter. Even the nearly indestructible kings had fallen to his hand. How could that not chill his heart?

Moreover, there was something even more important than his own death: to live and escape with the news!

Tree of Life, the foundation of the imperial path!

As long as one lives, one could step onto the imperial path and truly enter the ranks of the rulers of the Hundred Clans. He was not only a great enemy of the Scorpion Clan but also a formidable foe to any clan among the Hundred Clans of Heaven!

This was no longer a matter of taboos or potential risks. If previously Xiao Chen was seen as a thorn in the side of the Hundred Clans, given that the peak Shen Wang of the human race was shielding him, the clans wouldn’t easily act!

But now, if this news were to spread, even if there were no opportunity, the Hundred Clans would create one. No, it would be a direct extermination!

Even provoking the imperial powers to act would not be too much to expect!

Once he claimed the imperial throne in the future, it would be a great disaster for the Hundred Clans. The imperial powers of All Heavens would never allow him to rise and sit as an equal!

Buzz!

It must be said, as the Purple Pupil King infused his King Blood into the Jade Celestial Gate, an ancient and time-worn aura began to manifest.

A shadowy figure emerged, the golden light alone veiling the Starry Sky, with the vague image of a colossal scorpion taking form.

Entirely in golden luster, with eight arms and four feet, a pair of golden pincers tore through the Starry Sky, with just the hint of an ethereal and occasionally visible shadow proving almost too much for the Starry Sky to bear!

"Not good!"

In a thunderous moment, Xiao Chen reached down to grab, causing an explosive fracture from beneath fiery Mars, a streak of green light manifested, entering the Sky Vault.

This time Xiao Chen initiated the attack, forcefully and decisively. Behind him, the Small World materialized, gods roaring, as he exhausted all his strength in an instant infusing it into the Mountain River Seal.

"Suppression!"

In the space of a breath, the Mountain River Seal swelled to dozens of feet across, the Mountains and Rivers spanning millions of miles, the majestic peaks imposing, covering the entire Starry Sky. Green divine light cascaded down, calming the Starry Sky.

"Suppress!"

Amid the dazzling Starry Sky’s divine light, the Mountain River Seal pressed down on the Purple Pupil King’s Jade Celestial Gate.

"No!"

The Scorpion God, which had begun to materialize, started to diminish. Vast divine light submerged both of them.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing echoed, but it was not over yet, as Xiao Chen struck again!

A ruthless smirk flashed across his lips. With increasing strength, he grew more curious about the divinity revered by the Scorpion Clan, the Scorpion God. Just what kind of majestic power could linger so long after its fall, still leaving behind its divine might?

"Suppress!"

As he roared, the Mountain River Seal once again burst forth with vast green light, lifting slightly before crashing down anew.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With each strike, a skyful of green brilliance and divine light splattered around, and every spark that burst outshone brighter than the stars in the starry sky.

With each impact from the Mountain River Seal, Wang Jing would let out a muffled groan, and the Jade Celestial Gate kept trembling, seemingly resonating with cries of anguish.

Crack!

Finally, a sound of shattering was heard. Even the Jade Celestial Gate, blessed by the Scorpion God, could not withstand such overwhelming impact.

Spurt!

The next moment, Wang Jing was sent flying out from amidst the divine light, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Summoning the Scorpion God required a mental connection, but with the summoning interrupted halfway and the Jade Celestial Gate shattered, leading to the annihilation of the Scorpion God, he suffered a great backlash.

Blood dripped from his lips, his expression wilted, and even the hand that clutched the Jade Celestial Gate split open, leaving only a broken fragment. It seemed as though his whole body was falling apart.

"Impossible!"

Wang Jing howled, his eyes filled with disbelief. That was the Jade Celestial Gate, an artifact blessed by the Scorpion God, not some shoddy Scorpion God statue. To some extent, this Jade Celestial Gate was not inferior to any ordinary divine weapon of a king.

And yet, it was shattered by Xiao Chen, not just a piece of jade, but also a spiritual symbol for the Scorpion Clan. He simply could not accept the outcome before his eyes.

"I said today, none of you will escape!"

Xiao Chen gave him no time to catch his breath; the man before him knew too much about him – he had to be eliminated!

The next moment, the Heaven-lifting Divine Spear pierced through the void, aiming straight for Wang Jing.

Clang!

How could the broken Jade Celestial Gate withstand the brilliance of Xiao Chen’s spear? The remaining half of the Jade Celestial Gate completely crumbled, and the divine spear pierced directly through Wang Jing’s brow, cracks spreading from the head.

However, a king is not so easily slain. His fragmented flesh miraculously restored itself in the blink of an eye, and a torrent of Blood Qi surged within Wang Jing.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Chen showed no surprise. In the next moment, his hand clamped down on the Mountain River Seal.

"I cannot accept this!"

Facing the threat of death, Wang Jing began to exert all his might, his body bursting with intense cold. This was an extreme concentration of coldness, his mastered Law of Ice capable of sealing miles upon miles. Shadows of talismans seemed to materialize with the cold.

"Die!"

The next moment, a deathly sonic boom plummeted down, piercing through the soul. The green brilliance of the Mountain River Seal in Xiao Chen’s hand flared, and once again, the image of vast mountains and rivers manifested, pressing down.

"No, I..."

Wang Jing’s screams stopped abruptly, as a cloud of Blood Mist rose amidst the sweeping green light, glistening and fiery red.

With a sweep of his hand, Xiao Chen caused the shattered corpse to disappear into the starry sky, leaving not a single drop of blood.

"Stay!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen’s form surged, transforming into a streak of light that shattered a meteorite as his hand reached out to grab.

It was a wisp as thin as smoke, yet bursting with light substantial enough to grasp.

It was none other than Wang Jing’s Undying Martial Soul!

Now, Wang Jing’s eyes carried a hint of desolation, but more so, regret. His Undying Martial Soul was quite wilted, clearly due to the backlash suffered from calling upon the Scorpion God.

Xiao Chen’s gaze was as sharp as lightning; he discovered something unique about the dim Martial Soul held in his grasp.

Wang Jing’s realm was clearly inferior to King Luo Shan’s. Even though King Luo Shan had reached the end of his lifespan, Wang Jing’s combat power should not have surpassed his. It all made sense now.

Upon the lackluster Martial Soul in Xiao Chen’s hand, there were traces of crystal-clear divine brilliance, emitting a strong pressure that even made him feel oppressed.

Scorpion God!

Xiao Chen’s gaze hardened as he thought of this aura. He was no stranger to it, in fact, quite familiar, though the power he had previously seen was too weak.

Yet, to find such a heart-palpitating force upon the Undying Martial Soul of a king was truly odd. It seemed that the rumors among the Scorpion Clan might not be without basis.

Could the Scorpion God truly resurrect?

The thought startled Xiao Chen, for no one could ascertain from which era the Scorpion God was. Seeing such an odd lineage passed down hinted that there were too many secrets among the Hundred Clans of Heaven.

"Brother Xiao."

Seeing Xiao Chen annihilate Wang Jing, Gu Ling’s figure appeared, his little face somewhat translucent, clearly having been strained by stopping Wang Jing earlier.

But it was all worth it, to silence the two alien kings who knew about the Tree of Life.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel extremely fortunate; the first time he had manifested the Tree of Life, only two alien kings were aware, and he had beheaded them. From now on, he would have to be cautious about revealing the Tree of Life publicly!
