As Xiao Tianzuo revealed the true name of the wiry, monkey-like man who seemed to be the only one in the world, time seemed to pause for a moment, and Luo Bailian's eyes snapped open.

skillful!

What a coincidence!

Today is the ten-day deadline that Zhou Xingdou mentioned, but before Zhou Xingdou could even emerge from seclusion, this Great Heavenly King had already taken the initiative to come to them!

But then Luo Bailian quickly raised his hand, not to the Great Palm Heavenly King standing on the mountain peak, but to grab the back of Xiao Tianzuo's collar, who was looking at the Great Palm Heavenly King with a look of shock, anger and resentment.

"Hurry! Warn Mistress Jing that the Great Heavenly King is coming!"

A voice rang in Xiao Tianzuo's ears. Before Xiao Tianzuo could react, Luo Bailian's Chaos Black Armor flashed with a strange black light, and his arm exerted tremendous force, throwing Xiao Tianzuo like a javelin towards the center of the Nine Yuan Mountains.

But Zhang Santian, the Great King of the Heavenly Palms, who was standing on the mountain peak, did not make any move. Only his pointed-mouthed, monkey-faced face showed a hint of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Heh heh, did you think I merely sealed off this void so it couldn't be moved?"

That pleasant, indifferent voice rang out again, but before it could finish speaking, a deafening roar was heard.

Like a javelin piercing through the air, Xiao Tianzuo was not thrown into the center of the Jiuyuan Mountains, but crashed into an invisible wall. He groaned and coughed up blood, his face turning deathly pale!

Luo Bailian's expression changed again. He had thought that the feeling of spatial isolation was just a blockade of the void, so he wanted to use brute force to throw Xiao Tianzuo back, while he himself would try to stop the Great Palm Heavenly King.

Now it seems that this is not just a void blockade, but a complete separation of space. Or, what they see as being in the Nine Yuan Mountains is actually in another space!

The worst off was Xiao Tianzuo. Before the two sides even made a move, he was injured by his own man, Lao Luo. If he hadn't cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, his body would have exploded into a bloody mist when he was smashed against that invisible wall.

Bang!

Xiao Tianzuo fell from the sky like a bloodied man. Luo Bailian quickly caught him and, looking at Xiao Tianzuo's chest, which was barely breathing, hurriedly used his power to heal his wounds with some remorse.

Seeing Luo Bailian treating Xiao Tianzuo's injuries as if he didn't care, Zhang Santian, the Great King of the Palms, showed a playful look on his pointed face, but did not stop him.

In his eyes, these two people were like ants, and there was no difference between ants in their prime and ants with missing limbs. If he didn't like them, he could just crush them with a finger and they wouldn't cause any trouble.

What intrigued him even more was why these two ants had caused him such unease for the past ten days and brought about a fatal calamity in his life.

The eerie black light emanating from the old man in black armor did give him a sense of unease, but that level of black light wasn't enough to affect him.

And that kid who injured me before I even made a move, how could he possibly put me in such a deadly predicament?

While he was wondering, Zhang Santian silently activated his Great Palm Heavenly Technique. A trace of heavenly will condensed in the darkness. Unlike before when it was pointed at the two people, this time the trace of heavenly will was directed at Xiao Tianzuo, whose breathing had just calmed down.

"Was it really this kid in the Refinement Realm who caused my near-death experience?"

Zhang Santian couldn't help but be a little dazed, secretly grumbling to himself.

who is he?

Zhang Santian, the Great Heavenly King, is now the number one expert in the Desolate Heaven. He fought and defeated the Yin and Yang Generals under the command of the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, and even killed the Supreme Yang General.

Even the local tyrant of the entire Desolate Heaven Dynasty, the Desolate Heaven Emperor Dynasty, cannot suppress him unless that despicable couple joins forces; at most, they can only gain a slight advantage.

He is the Great Palm Heavenly King, who, apart from the deceased Desolate Heavenly Empress, has the best chance of entering the Dao End Realm and becoming a Heavenly Venerable in the Desolate Heaven Realm!

If it weren't for the guidance of fate, he would have found it hard to believe that his own calamity was actually caused by a mere youth who hadn't even reached the peak of the Refining Essence Realm.

He never doubted that the Great Palm Heavenly Technique could be wrong. He had risen from a nobody to his current level, turning misfortune into good fortune and achieving success in everything he did, all thanks to the guidance of this Great Palm Heavenly Technique.

"If that's the case, then I cannot let you live!"

Now that he knew the answer, Zhang Santian would not waste any more words or be curious. Any existence that threatened him had to be eliminated as quickly as possible!

boom!

In a fraction of a second, a hint of ferocity flashed in Zhang Santian's eyes as he stood atop the mountain. With a flick of his toes, he burst forth toward Luo Bailian, who was within arm's reach of him.

For him, this existence that threatened his fate was something he had to grind down carefully with his own hands, and he could not afford to be careless!

Luo Bailian's expression tightened instantly as he sensed the terrifying aura rapidly approaching. Without any hesitation, he put down Xiao Tianzuo and made no attempt to dodge, even though the terrifying figure rushing towards him was countless times stronger than him.

A flash of black light appeared on Luo Bailian's Chaos Black Armor, carrying an ominous black aura as it surged towards Zhang Santian.

Tear!

This was a battle with no suspense. No matter how turbulent the ominous black light was, it was torn apart by that terrifying figure in an instant.

When Luo Bailian reappeared, he was already being gripped by Zhang Santian's lean hand, his black armor tattered, and his bloodied, twisted limbs revealing white bone spurs.

In fact, with Zhang Santian's strength, he could have easily smashed Luo Bailian into dust with just his impact. The reason Luo Bailian was still alive was entirely due to the strange power exerted by his black armor.

"An interesting power."

Zhang Santian stared at Luo Bailian's tattered black armor, a look of infatuation in his eyes.

He had never seen this form of power before. He had only felt a sense of foreboding when he looked at it from afar, but when he tore it apart and came into contact with it, he realized how powerful the black light was.

Ancient, eerie, and ominous, yet it seemed to contain the most ancient will in the world. The reason I was able to tear this black light apart was not because the black light was too weak, but because Luo Bailian was too weak.

He only now realized that Luo Bailian was merely a cultivator comparable to the Earth Refining Realm, and only comparable to the first stage of the Earth Refining Realm. His ability to possess the power of the Heaven Refining Realm was entirely due to the black light power on his black armor!

This is why Zhang Santian allowed Luo Bailian to live.

He even had a feeling that if he could master the ominous power within the black armor, he would no longer need to desperately pursue the opportunity to merge with the Desolate Heaven Realm and reach the Dao End Realm, or even surpass it.

As soon as this thought arose, a hint of fanaticism appeared on Zhang Santian's face.

Stepping into the Dao End, and then surpassing the Dao End, is something no one in this world doesn't want to achieve. For Zhang Santian, who has been at the peak of the Initial Realm for a long time but has yet to reach the Heavenly Realm, it is an even greater temptation.

The allure of such power is irresistible, not only to him, but even to other Heavenly Venerables who have already merged with the Heavenly Realm.

Sure enough, Zhang Santian was blessed with great fortune, and today was the day he would transform his death into a dragon!
