[Boom!]
The light of the ancient rising sun poured down, creating a waterfall of flowing light that resembled an ocean, crashing downwards with a thunderous roar.
Wait, shouldn't it have been a whooshing sound? Why was there a sudden boom?
The swishing sound suddenly stopped?
Yun Shou: "..."
He had a bad feeling about this.
"I hope it's just my imagination, and that it will prove me wrong!"
He even hoped to become the champion in this simulation and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Baowen!
For miles around, there was a deathly silence at that moment.
You are stunned, just like countless others.
The Golden Emperor, who once shone like a sun high in the sky, has vanished.
He was kicked to the ground with a loud thud, interrupting his skill casting.
[In his place now stood a Thorn Demon, its body covered in thorns. This Thorn Demon looked old and weary; even from a human's perspective, its age was evident.]
It hovered in mid-air, devoid of any energy fluctuations, appearing as ordinary as a pure-blooded, first-realm demon.
[But this is the most terrifying part: the Great Demon of Myriad Matter has to keep stomping his feet to ascend into the sky, and even the Armor King needs to rely on his vital energy to reach the heavens. Why can you do it without relying on anything?]
Because it is the true king.
[A deathly silence fell. Some warriors, well-versed in ancient literature and history of humans and demons, recognized the Thorn Demon. Overwhelmed by extreme fear, their speech lost all emotion, uttering only two simple words.]
"The Demon... King."
Depending on their race, the fourth realm of each branch of the demon race is called "Armor King," "Ancient King," or "Feather King," but these all represent pseudo-kings equivalent to the supreme rulers of the human race.
Those who can be called "Demon Kings" must be true kings, a rare sight even in a century, the "King of the Century" of the Fifth Realm!
[True King, why would the Demon King take action for this?!]
[You're thinking this is to ambush Jin Lieyang? But legend has it that a true king would be born for this purpose; it would be a waste of his talent!]
A true king is an existence that appears only once every hundred years, and is extremely rare, perhaps only once every few thousand years. Ordinary innate beings or celestial beings wouldn't even know of their existence unless they specifically sought them out.
Even in the most intense holy wars, true kings only clash and destroy millions of miles of land. How could this possibly happen now?
[What kind of regional conflict involves directly dropping nuclear weapons?]
"Even if I become the master of the Heavenly Net Battle Body now, no matter how well I control it, it's too late to turn the tide." You're devastated. This time you've only reached the Celestial Perfection stage. You still want to become a hegemon, a supreme being...
Yun Shou sighed, "Achieving perfection in the Heavenly Realm is already quite impressive. It's not your fault, A-Jiu."
As the Demon King's gaze shifted, countless hearts leaped into their throats. They knew they were doomed today, but death had a sequence; whichever side the Demon King saw first would die first.
The True King's gaze lingered on the Heavenly Net Battle Body.
It slowly stepped forward.
"Fight to the death!" someone roared from within the battle formation. The surviving Innate, Celestial, and Overlord cultivators simultaneously unleashed their Yuan Power. Countless Yuan Powers converged into a vast ocean and surged forth; they refused to sit idly by and await their demise.
But across from them was a starry sky.
It strolled leisurely, oblivious to the torrent of Yuan energy, as if passing through thin air. With a flick of its claws, the Heavenly Net Battle Body, formed by densely connected Yuan energy, was torn apart.
Layer by layer, piece by piece, the collapsing primordial energy structure released its energy, severely injuring and killing thousands of innate beings.
[But it only dismantled the battle formations from beginning to end, without launching a direct attack, which humiliated many humans: This wasn't about killing you, but rather about accidentally crushing you while playing around.]
[Until another piece of the battle armor was torn apart, the Thorn Demon King reached out its claws towards you. You thought it would use you as a starting point to tear apart another large section of the battle armor—but instead, it grabbed you and pulled you out.]
Yun Shou: "???"
The true king held you, but then it left.
The three banquet groups, along with King Jia, also left afterward.
They really only mobilized four Supreme-level beings and one True King of a Supreme-level realm just to capture you.
"No, why!?"
Yun Shou didn't understand, just as he had said before.
He is a "Six-Complete Combat Body", not a "Sixty-Complete Combat Body".
Despite the astonishing display of his divine body, he was ultimately only at the peak of the Celestial Realm. Even if he was powerful enough to attract the pursuit of a Supreme Being, he was not qualified to make a True King take action.
It has a feeling of "a seven-year-old kid gets a perfect score on the college entrance exam, and then America's ten aircraft carriers all enter through customs: hand over the genius kid, or war will break out!"
That's way too abstract.
"Could it be... or is it that..."
Yun Shou had a bold guess: that Armor King's own son was actually the illegitimate son of the Thorn Demon King!
However, its mother was also a Fiend, so when it gave birth, it did not randomly inherit the bloodline of a Thorn Demon, but only showed the genes of a Fiend.
The poor King Jia, unaware that he was wearing a hat, was probably even happy: "My clan's true king actually avenged my son with his own hands, how touching!"
Yun Shou thought maliciously, but unfortunately he didn't know about the demon race's reproduction methods or what their hybrid offspring were like.
Yun Qi and Yun Ba should know this, but it doesn't count as "martial arts knowledge" and can't be inherited.
[You were snatched away by the true king, shocking the world!]
Although there's no concrete news about the True King's intervention, everyone knows that Yun Shou, the once-glorious human prodigy, has been captured by the demons!
