At this moment, it was not only Sect Master Traceless who was shocked by Xing Jue's strength, even the crowd was shocked by Xing Jue's strength. At this moment, they felt as if their horizons had been broadened.
Only at this moment did they realize that a mid-level Combat King could also display such strength, and even suppress a high-level Combat King. Only at this moment did they realize why Xing Jue dared to utter such arrogant words before. It was because he truly had the strength to do so.
As a matter of fact, Xing Jue had gained the upper hand at this moment. However, Xing Jue's current situation was not much better than Sect Master Traceless's. Xing Jue's Reincarnation Compass had consumed most of his energy, and the eight Soul Devouring Awls that followed had completely depleted Xing Jue's Battle Qi.
The reason why Xing Jue could still maintain his calm expression was because of his powerful soul energy. Although Xing Jue's current soul energy was not strong enough to break through to the high-level Combat King realm with Soul Burst, after breaking through to the mid-level Combat King realm.
However, after breaking through to the Mid-Level Combat King realm, his soul energy still received a significant improvement. Furthermore, due to the Soul Eater Clan's unique ancient body, the growth of his soul energy was several times more terrifying than ordinary people.
"Asura Palace's Palace Master, your strength is indeed extraordinary. It looks like I've underestimated you."
Looking at Xing Jue, who was standing not far away from him, Sect Master Traceless couldn't help but put away his previous arrogant attitude. At this moment, he felt that it was impossible for him to defeat Xing Jue with his current strength. In order to save his own life, he wanted to ease the tension and seek refuge with Xing Jue in order to preserve his life.
"Are you ready to die?" However, in response to Sect Master Traceless's gentle words, Xing Jue's expression turned cold as he replied in an indifferent tone.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the Traceless Sect Master's face changed drastically. Even though he now viewed Xing Jue in a new light, he still couldn't accept such an undisguised insult from Xing Jue. That was because he had already sensed Xing Jue's killing intent towards him. Since Xing Jue had already made up his mind to kill him, there was no need for him to form any relationship with Xing Jue.
"Let's see if I die or if you die."
Suddenly, Sect Master Traceless roared. At the same time, he leaped forward and rushed towards Xing Jue. Moreover, his body also changed at this moment. The muscles all over his body were constantly moving back and forth, as if something was going to drill out of his body. It was extremely terrifying.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct his soul."
Looking at the Traceless Sect Master, whose body had undergone a serious change, the expressions of the crowd changed drastically. They never expected that Sect Master Traceless would use such a move.
Self-destructing one's soul was an extremely ruthless method. When a person reached the Combat King realm, the soul within their body would also undergo a change. This change was known as a soul body. Therefore, when a person's strength reached the Combat King realm, even if their physical body was destroyed, they would still be able to regenerate in the form of a soul body.
Self-destructing one's soul would detonate through a special force to create a super-terrifying, large-scale attack. However, the method of self-destructing one's soul was to end one's own life.
Therefore, self-destructing one's soul would normally only be used by someone who knew that they were going to die. Even so, it required a lot of courage. No one had expected that Sect Master Traceless would actually use such a move.
Looking at Sect Master Traceless, who was about to self-destruct his soul, the expressions of Ying Huang and the others changed drastically. They immediately tried to stop Sect Master Traceless, but it was too late. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't stop the self-destruction of a high-level Combat King expert.
"Rumble ~"
Suddenly, a deafening boom resounded. When the boom resounded, even the land started to tremble. At the same time, an energy ripple that was mixed with faint-blue Spiritual Energy and the dark-red Battle Qi swept out like a violent hurricane. In an instant, a frightening energy filled the entire banquet plaza.
The self-destruction of a high-level Combat King was no small matter. Although it was only an energy ripple, it still caused many low-level Combat Kings to suffer serious injuries. Even mid-level Combat Kings suffered internal injuries. Only Ying Huang, Xiaolong, and the Thunder Leopard King were unscathed.
However, at this moment, no one cared about their own injuries. Instead, they turned their attention to the center of the energy ripple. They were very curious about whether Xing Jue could survive such a powerful attack.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
As the energy ripples slowly dissipated, everyone suddenly discovered that the energy ripples were actually flickering with starlight. When the energy ripples completely dissipated, everyone was even more astonished to discover that there was a defensive barrier made of starlight floating in mid-air at this moment.
Under the illumination of the sunlight, the white starlight could be said to be extremely gorgeous. The strong light even caused everyone to be unable to open their eyes. However, what shocked everyone the most was that the power within the starlight was actually so terrifying. It was not the slightest bit weaker than the Samsara compass that had been used by the execution.
Compared to the crowd's astonishment, Ying Huang, Xiaolong, and the Thunder Leopard King heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that with the protection of the starlight, Xing Jue would be fine.
"Buzz."
At this moment, the defensive barrier formed by the starlight began to condense slowly. In the end, it condensed into a long silver river. At the same time, Xing Jue's figure appeared in front of the crowd's astonished gazes. What surprised them the most was that after the silver river made a circle in the air, it actually fused with Xing Jue's right hand.
"Artifact! It's a Artifact!"
"Heavens! Such a powerful force! Could it be a legendary High-Grade Artifact?"
"He actually has a High-Grade Artifact! Amazing! Too strong!"
At this moment, the crowd finally realized that there was a ring on Xing Jue's right hand. The terrifying starlight had fused with the ring. With such a powerful starlight, the crowd was almost certain that the ring on Xing Jue's hand was a Artifact, and a High-Grade Artifact at that.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Traceless Gate must have interfered with our Asura Gate's banquet. I'm sure all of you are aware of that. "
"Could it be that you are here to join forces with the Traceless Gate to become enemies with our Asura Palace?"
However, just when everyone was shocked by Xing Jue's strength, the arrogant Xing Jue, who was standing in the air, slightly narrowed his eyes. However, his eyes were somewhat dark and cold as he swept them over everyone below the arena.
"We dare not, we dare not."
"Palace Master Xing Jue, please don't misunderstand. How could we dare to be enemies with you?"
When everyone heard Xing Jue's words, they were so frightened that their bodies started to tremble. However, they didn't know how to explain themselves. At this moment, there was only one word in their hearts, and that was' fear '.
Putting aside the fact that there was still a Combat Emperor expert from the Heroic Emperor, the strength that Xing Jue had displayed was enough to terrify them. Even the Traceless Gate's strongest expert, the Traceless Gate Master, wasn't a match for Xing Jue, let alone them.
"Oh?"
"I'm afraid that wasn't what you were thinking before I came here, right?"
"Don't tell me you thought I said something before? Didn't I hear you? "
Looking at the fearful faces of the crowd, who wished they could kneel before him, Xing Jue revealed a faint smile. His tone turned slightly cold.
When it came to people who said one thing in front of others and another behind others' backs, people who changed according to the wind. It could be said that Xing Jue hated them to the bone. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a use for them, Xing Jue would have killed all of them long ago.
"We're confused, we're confused …"
"I hope that Palace Master can spare our lives. We're willing to follow Palace Master and do anything for you."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the crowd became even more terrified. Some of the leaders, especially those who had received Xing Jue's invitation but didn't attend the banquet, knelt on the ground and begged Xing Jue.
Although they were the leaders of a force, they had no choice but to put down their lofty attitudes when their lives were at stake. Because whether it was their supreme status or so-called self-esteem, they were worthless compared to their lives.
"Hmph ~"
Looking at the crowd who were kneeling on the ground and begging him, a sneer appeared on the corner of Xing Jue's mouth. Xing Jue really looked down on trash like them.
"Palace Master Xing Jue, the Sky Martial Continent is a place where the strong prey on the weak, a place where only the strong are respected."
"Before your Asura Palace was established, the Traceless Gate was indeed the king of this region. How could we dare to disobey their threats?"
"Since everyone is willing to submit to your Asura Palace, why is Palace Master Xing Jue being so overbearing?"
Just when everyone was panicking and begging for mercy, Sect Master Huang of the Yellow Wind Sect slowly said to Xing Jue in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Huang is indeed a straightforward person. I, Xing Jue, really admire you."
After hearing Sect Master Huang's words, Xing Jue suddenly burst into laughter. In fact, Xing Jue and the others had already arrived at the Traceless Gate a long time ago. It was just that they heard everyone talking about the Asura Palace, so they wanted to hear more about it.
As for the conversation between Sect Master Huang and the Traceless Gate's Sect Master, Xing Jue had naturally heard it. Therefore, Xing Jue had a good impression of Sect Master Huang. The facts had also proven that Sect Master Huang was indeed different from the others.
"This old man is just stating the facts," Sect Master Huang said with a faint smile.
"Good! Stating the facts, huh?"
"I, Xing Jue, am not an unreasonable person. Therefore, I will not make things difficult for everyone because of today's matter."
"However, let me make it clear first. My Asura Palace does not only want to dominate this region, but also want to become the ruler of the entire Eastern Region."
"However, I, Xing Jue, will not force any force to submit to me just because I want to strengthen my forces."
"But then again, if any force dares to obstruct me, the outcome of today's Traceless Gate's Sect Master is a good example."
At this moment, Xing Jue declared in a high-spirited manner. Without waiting for anyone's reply, his figure flashed and merged into the space. Behind him, Ying Huang, Xiaolong, and the Lightning Leopard King also merged into the space and disappeared.
Only the leaders of the various factions, who felt that they had a new lease of life after the calamity, were left behind. At this moment, their tensed faces had also loosened up.
However, they had already understood Xing Jue's words. Although Xing Jue had said that he would not force any force to submit to the Asura Palace, he had pointed out that the forces that obstructed his unification of the Eastern Region would suffer the same fate as the Traceless Gate's Sect Master.
In other words, any force that did not submit to the Asura Gate would become an obstacle to the Asura Palace's unification of the Eastern Region. This was simply a method of coercion. Moreover, everyone could feel that Xing Jue's methods were much more ruthless than the Traceless Gate's Sect Master. Furthermore, the Asura Palace's strength was far above the Traceless Gate.
