(Second Update!)
— — —
"I've embarrassed myself."
The Spear Creek Ruler landed on the ground, panting heavily. His forehead was covered in sweat.
The spectating Rulers looked at him enviously. This person had withstood the Nine Tribulations King's palm, which meant that he could follow the Nine Tribulations King. He would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Zeno Ruins.
However, the Spear Creek Ruler did not look happy. Instead, he felt a lingering fear.
That palm strike had been too unbearable for him. He had used up all of his divine power to unleash it in an instant!
Even so, he could only barely offset the might of the palm strike.
It was a casual palm strike from the Nine Tribulations King. He was not serious at all.
The Nine Tribulations King was too terrifying.
The Nine Tribulations King looked down at him from the void. There was a look of approval in his eyes. He said, "You're not bad to be able to withstand that palm strike."
.....
Time passed slowly. Gradually, more people came to challenge the Nine Tribulations King.
However, most of them did not manage to withstand the Nine Tribulations King's palm strike. They could only leave in disappointment. Only a few reputable Ultimate Rulers managed to withstand the Nine Tribulations King's palm strike.
"Ran Gu, take care of Little Qing. Master will be back soon." The Water Shaman Ruler instructed. Then, he took a deep breath. There was a look of determination in his eyes as he strode toward the Nine Tribulations King.
He knew that it was his turn to fight!
"Master, be careful!"
Ran Gu and Qing Xi shouted worriedly from behind.
The Water Shaman Ruler paused. However, he did not turn back. He continued walking toward the Nine Tribulations King.
He understood that many ultimate dominators, including some weaker pinnacle ultimate dominators, had not been able to withstand the Nine Calamity King's palm. Although he was also a pinnacle ultimate dominator, he was not that strong. It would be very difficult for him to withstand the Nine Calamity King's palm.
But …
For the sake of his eldest disciple, he had to give it a try!
A moment later, he walked to the Nine Tribulations King's feet. He cupped his hands and said, "Nine Tribulations King, I'm the Water Shaman. Please enlighten me."
The Nine Tribulations King's expression did not change. He nodded and said, "Come."
"Boom!"
Following a loud explosion, the Nine Tribulations King raised his palm and slammed it down at the Water Shaman Sovereign!
Surging divine power condensed, forming a giant palm that could cover the sky. Every line on the palm was clearly visible, and they were filled with profound universal laws.
After that, it smashed down forcefully towards the Water Shaman Hegemon!
Seeing this, the Water Shaman Sovereign did not dare to relax. He quickly formed a seal with his hands and shouted, "Water Dragon, rise!"
Bang!
In an instant, a strong gust of wind erupted with him at the center. The Water Shaman's hair and beard fluttered, and his eyes almost split apart!
Roar!
A dragon's roar resounded. Then, a blue water dragon roared and rushed out of his divine body. It bit at the giant palm that was like a dark cloud in the sky!
Slap.
Like glass shattering, the water dragon formed from the divine power of the Water Shaman Sovereign only lasted for less than ten breaths of time before shattering inch by inch.
"Too weak." The Nine Tribulations King shook his head.
Hegemon Water Shaman seemed to turn a deaf ear to it. He didn't even look at these people. Instead, he shouted with all his strength, "Gather!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! In an instant, thousands of water droplets formed after the water dragon collapsed in the Void. At this moment, they seemed to be attracted by something and gathered together from all directions. Then, they continuously twisted and merged, finally forming a huge and thick wave of water.
Then, this wave of water pressed down on the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm again!
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud noise, this wave of water actually passed through the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm. Then, it wrapped around the giant palm like a millstone and began to grind away the divine power on the giant palm.
"Oh?" Seeing this, the Nine Tribulations King raised his head and looked at the Water Shaman Sovereign for the first time. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He smiled faintly and said, "Your use of the laws of heaven and earth is quite amazing."
At the outermost edge of the crowd, Ran Gu and Qing Xi were extremely excited when they saw this scene.
Even Jian Wushuang could not help but raise his eyebrows.
Rumble!
The wave of water wrapped around the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm layer by layer and continuously grinded away the divine power on the giant palm. At the same time, this wave of water was also rapidly being annihilated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Water Shaman Sovereign stared at this scene. In his heart, there was a voice constantly roaring, "Destroy, destroy for me!!!"
Time passed slowly. In a short while, the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm had lost more than half of its power. Meanwhile, the Water Shaman Sovereign's wave of water was also left with only a thin layer.
The Water Shaman Sovereign's expression was extremely solemn. Even a line of fine sweat had appeared on his forehead due to his excessive nervousness.
Just as the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm was about to be completely destroyed by the Water Shaman Sovereign's wave of water, the Nine Tribulations King seemed to know the outcome. He withdrew his gaze and said faintly, "Your use of laws is not bad. Unfortunately, your strength is still a little lacking."
The Water Shaman Sovereign was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand what he meant and asked in confusion, "Wh … What?"
Before he could finish speaking.
Bang!!!
The wave of water that was already as thin as a cicada's wing was actually destroyed before the Nine Tribulations King's giant palm that was about to be destroyed!
"No!!"
The Water Shaman Sovereign's expression changed drastically. His eyes flashed with intense unwillingness.
However, the outcome was already decided.
"You may leave."
The Nine Tribulations King shook his head. In his opinion, the Water Shaman Sovereign's use of divine power was not bad. However, it was only 'not bad.' It was not enough to make him particularly impressed.
When the Water Shaman Sovereign saw this scene, it was as if all his strength had been sucked out of his body. He became dispirited.
Not being able to join the Nine Tribulations King's camp meant that he would not even have a foothold in the Tai Luo Ruins, let alone avenge his eldest disciple who had died so tragically for no reason.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Nine Tribulations King." The Water Shaman Sovereign forced a smile on his face. He cupped his hands in salute to the Nine Tribulations King and turned to walk away from the crowd.
No one knew how heavy his steps were at this moment.
To him, missing this opportunity meant that he might not have the slightest chance of avenging his disciple in this lifetime.
The crowd gradually parted to form a path.
The ultimate Sovereigns present all looked at the Water Shaman Sovereign with complicated gazes.
Although he did not manage to take the Nine Tribulations King's palm in the end, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Nine Tribulations King's palm had already reached its limit. Perhaps if the Water Shaman Sovereign's wave of water could have lasted for three more breaths, the outcome would have been completely different.
The Water Shaman Sovereign had proven his strength.
In this world, the strong were always respected.
