Becoming an emperor was a stained road of no return. It was a road of bones piled up by the ashes of tens of thousands of soldiers.
As the most crucial battle, Ling Xiao had to kill to establish his dominance. He had to kill decisively and quickly. Only then would he be able to shock everyone.
Dragons Tenbin's ability, Dragon's Roar, was always a surprise attack.
Its lethality was absolutely astonishing. Among the 10,000 people, many King Stage martial artists immediately bled out of their seven orifices and died. The Earth Sovereign martial artists also fell to the ground uncomfortably. Only the martial artists at the Empyrean Stage and above were slightly less injured, but their minds still felt a buzzing sound reverberating.
Yao Kuang and the other Half Thearchs were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Fortunately, they were strong enough to isolate the source of the sound in time.
Yao Kuang did not expect Ling Xiao to show off his power the moment he arrived. He roared, "Let me kill you, you little bastard!"
With that, he rode his spirit dog and raised his saber towards Ling Xiao.
Although he was a rash person, he knew that it was better to end the battle quickly.
His Great Autonomous Realm covered the area within a thousand meters. It was as if he wanted to kill Ling Xiao in an instant.
Ling Xiao did not stand on ceremony. The aura of a high-level Heavenly Venerate surged.
Others only knew that he was a mid-level Heavenly Venerate when he was in the Medicine Capital. However, no one knew that he was already a high-level Heavenly Venerate when he came out of the Medicine Sect.
When he was a mid-level Heavenly Venerate, he could already fight a Mystic Thearch. Now that his strength had increased, why would he be afraid of these people?
He then deduced his own World Force.
A desolate world seemed to have returned to the beginning of the world. Waves of barbaric aura immediately spread out.
Every tree, flower, and grass was like a real world, making people feel that it was exceptionally beautiful.
However, in this beautiful world, there was a great murderous intent.
Now, Ling Xiao's Small Cube World's power could be compared to ordinary Mystic Thearch-Tier World's power. What's more, his Small Cube World's power was different from before as well. It was as if there was another kind of hidden energy.
The flowers, grass, and trees represented a rich vitality, but when a grayish-black energy blew past, those vibrant plants and spirit beasts would rapidly wither and die.
This power was not only the power of the Innate Yin Wind Baleful Qi, but it also contained the power of the Death Qi that could steal the life force of others!
"What … what kind of world energy is this? Why do I feel a little scared? That power seems to be very terrifying!" Blackfire Mercenary Group's leader, Blackfire, said with a slightly worried expression.
The leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group, Zhong Bo, exclaimed, "This … could this be the power of a high-grade spirit level world?
Otherwise, how could he give us such a strong sense of oppression? "
The two World Energies collided fiercely.
Rumble!
The powerful energy exploded, and the terrifying shockwaves caused everyone to retreat far away, afraid that they would be affected.
Yao Kuang originally thought that he had Ling Xiao in the bag, but he did not expect Ling Xiao's World Energies to be so terrifying that it could actually suppress his World Energies. As the two clashed, he felt his mind becoming unsteady, and his organs were churning. His blood was flowing non-stop, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Pfff!
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of his mouth, and his spiritual realm was instantly destroyed. He and his spirit hound were immediately engulfed by Ling Xiao's World Energies.
Following that, countless tree vines extended towards him and his spirit hound like tentacles. A three-eyed wolf king pounced out from a corner, directly attacking his spirit hound.
The wolf and the dog began to fight.
Yao Kuang was also a mercenary group's leader who had experienced countless battles of life and death. He immediately suppressed the churning blood in his body, and the huge sword in his hand turned into a sky full of sword shadows that slashed towards Ling Xiao, who was in the middle of the Desolate Ancient World Energies.
The first move of a Mystic Thearch was enough to split the mountains and split the earth, and overturn the seas and rivers.
However, it was not enough to kill Ling Xiao.
Balls of grayish-black, cold hurricanes blew towards Yao Kuang.
Swish swish!
Wherever the grayish-black hurricanes went, all the plants would rapidly wither and lose their life force, disappearing very quickly.
Even though Yao Kuang's blade light managed to disperse the flowers, the deathly aura continued to permeate towards Mo Wuji.
At first, Yao Kuang didn't pay too much attention to it. But when he discovered that his protective barrier was gradually being eroded away, he felt that something was wrong. His strong physique seemed to be losing something, and in the next moment, his skin and flesh actually became incomparably wrinkled.
"This … what is going on?" Yao Kuang stopped his attack and looked at his palm, which was even drier than before, and was shocked.
He still did not understand what was going on, and his mind was in a mess.
What he didn't know was that while he was distracted, Ling Xiao could easily kill him.
However, the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
His skin and flesh were rapidly aging, and his life force was clearly being lost. His strength seemed to be slowly weakening as well.
"Damn it, this … what kind of energy is this, it must be an illusion!"
Yao Kuang could not accept reality and roared. He paused for a moment and escaped from Ling Xiao's world power. At the same time, he shouted, "Let's go together, let's flatten this place and kill this little bastard!"
How could Ling Xiao let Yao Kuang escape so easily? The deathly aura wrapped around Yao Kuang like maggots.
Yao Kuang used his powerful strength but could not resist the combination of the Connate Yin Wind's baleful aura and deathly aura.
His black hair instantly aged and turned white, and his powerful physique gradually became thin and weak.
At this moment, Yao Kuang's two Half Thearchs realized the situation their commander was in. Without a second word, they led their men towards Ling Xiao.
Zhong Bo and Black Fire also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. They immediately led their men and charged towards the city.
In an instant, the sky was filled with murderous intent, and the aura was vast and mighty.
Countless elemental attacks and colourful energy dyed half the sky red like a tide.
With so many different types of energy combined, even the sky was about to be overturned.
"It's time to let them know that some things are not as simple as they think!" Xuan Yao murmured and made a few strange movements with the white paper fan in his hand.
A few Heavenly Venerables on Ling Xiao's side seemed to have received some kind of signal and immediately flew in different directions.
Following that, a light screen bloomed around the city walls.
Swish swish!
This light screen was like a heavenly cover, protecting the area within a few thousand meters of the city walls.
The attacks from the mercenary groups were like eggs hitting a rock when they hit it, unable to destroy the defensive sky screen.
Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw this scene, and their faces were filled with incomparable shock.
"When did such a terrifying defensive formation appear outside the city? This is at least a Tier 7 defensive formation!"
"Right, that person with the fan seems to be Advisor Xuan Yao who came to the city earlier. Could it be that he is also a powerful formation master?"
"Looks like Ling Xiao has a lot of talented people by his side. With such a defensive formation, no one below the Emperor Stage can break it!"
"It can't be wrong, but only attacking and not defending … this formation's energy will be depleted sooner or later!"
…
"Advisor, what's the point of wasting time like this? Just let us fight and kill these bastards!" Cruel Leopard shouted while suppressing his strong killing intent.
The others also spoke up one after another.
Xuan Yao said resolutely, "No, this battle is the best opportunity for Ling Xiao to establish his might. We can't let you guys ruin it!"
Outside the city, Ling Xiao's battle strength was already on full display.
Twenty times his battle strength allowed his world power to expand to a terrifying extent. It was as if everything within a few thousand meters was within his range.
He held the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand, and like a god of war, he began a real massacre!
The first to suffer was Yao Kuang, who had already lost all will to fight.
He was unintentionally corroded by the strong baleful aura of death. His life force was like flowing water, continuously draining away. His strength also fell from the Mystic Thearch Stage to the Heavenly Venerable Stage, and even the Earthly Sovereign Stage …
His big head was pierced through by Ling Xiao's spear, and the remaining bit of soul force could not escape Ling Xiao's Heavenly Fire. A Thearch Stage expert died just like that.
The two Half Thearchs under Yao Kuang were not much better off. Ling Xiao's peak-grade Emperor Stage World power had already drowned them in countless killing intents.
None of their spirit beasts were spared as well. They were all attacked by the baleful aura of death, and gradually, they began to enjoy the feeling of aging and dying.
Ling Xiao was getting excited from the killing, and his battle intent was extremely high. His entire body was covered in a glazed dragon scale armor, and he held the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand as he entered the army of ten thousand.
Ten thousand trees entangled, icicles rose, volcanoes erupted, divine beasts appeared, and death energy filled the air!
A terrifying world, a terrifying power, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped these ten thousand people.
One by one, they died from being entangled by the ten thousand trees, pierced by the icicles, blasted by the volcanoes until not even their bones remained, frightened by the might of the divine beasts, and lost all signs of life after being entangled by the death energy.
Not only that, Ling Xiao's Tyrant Dragon Spear Art also unleashed destructive attacks. Countless Golden Dragons roared and exploded, and the martial artists in all directions were forced to abandon their armors and flee!
Numerous shrill cries resounded in all directions. Countless severed limbs flew ceaselessly, and wisps of blood splattered like ink.
It was like a scene from purgatory, and everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
"This … is this still a human?
He actually fought against ten thousand by himself. Could it be that I'm seeing things? "
"Strength that surpasses his peers, no … it should be that he surpasses his peers. This is too terrifying. This kind of world power is like the end of the world, one touch and you'll die!"
"Emperor Stage, an absolute high-grade Emperor Stage World power. Even an Thearch Stage expert is no match for him. Once he matures, will there still be anyone in this world who can match him?"
"Who knows? As long as he doesn't die young, he might become a legend in the future."
