Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A middle-aged man silently appeared before the grand elder of the Hundred-footed clan. He severed the grand elder's arm with a single stroke of his sword and took away the bottle with the divine water of the world. Afterward, he quickly fled.
At this crucial moment, some of the Saint Kings who had not taken part in the battle could no longer hold themselves back and took action.
With his arm severed, the grand elder of the Hundred-footed clan shrieked out miserably. He furiously yelled, "How dare you steal from our Hundred-footed clan? You must be tired of living. I will wipe out your entire clan." As he said that, the grand elder pulled out two quaking thunders from his Space Ring with his remaining arm and tossed them at the middle-aged man who had taken away the divine water.
These were also 15th Star quaking thunders. Although the Hundred-footed clan had brought quite a few quaking thunders with them, there was only a single 16th Star one. The rest were all 15th Star quaking thunders.
The Holy Emperor expert who had taken away the divine water was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer. He stood at the peak of the 15th Star, only a single step away from the 16th Star. Unless the quaking thunders caught him off-guard, it would be very difficult for them to harm him. After destroying the two quaking thunders, he continued to flee without even looking back.
"Old Man's soul is injured. He just happens to need the divine water of the world to heal. Sir, it's best if you leave the divine water to the Old Man." At this moment, an old man with disheveled hair silently appeared. He just happened to be standing in front of the middle-aged man who had taken away the divine water. He gently swung his shriveled hand with a layer of gentle, yin energy.
The palm did not seem to possess any power, but any Holy Emperor expert could sense an extremely tough and tyrannical power from it.
The middle-aged man's face turned cold. He directly threw a punch with tremendous energy, colliding with the old man's palm. However, when his tyrannical punch landed on the old man's palm, it felt as if he had punched a soft ball of cotton. His powerful energy was nowhere to be used, and it was mostly unloaded by the soft layer of energy on the old man's palm. Following that, a fierce and tyrannical energy surged out from the old man's palm, forcing the middle-aged man to retreat continuously. The bones in his arm were almost shattered.
"Heaven Extinguishing Divine Palm — — You are the Tyrant of the Western Sea, Nicholas Gulas." The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. Although he was at the same level as the other party, he was very wary in his heart.
The Overlord of the Western Sea, Nicholas Gulas, was a famous expert. It wasn't just because of the unique technique he cultivated. He had reached the realm of extreme Yin to produce Yang, the realm of softness and toughness, which allowed him to unleash extremely powerful battle prowess. Moreover, his original form was an extremely powerful ancient sea beast. He had extraordinary talents and unparalleled battle prowess.
There had even been a rumor in the past that the Overlord of the Western Sea had killed a Holy Emperor at the Third Heavenly Layer when the Holy Emperor was at the Holy Emperor's Fifth Heavenly Layer. It had caused an uproar in the sea realm. His battle prowess was basically unparalleled in the sea realm.
"Since you know the name of the Old Man, why don't you leave the divine water of the world behind?" Nicholas said with a hoarse voice.
"The Overlord of Western Chu, Nicholas, is renowned in the western sea. I'm obviously not your opponent, but your soul is injured right now, so your strength is greatly affected. Why should I fear you?" The middle-aged man growled.
"Hehe, the Old Man's soul may be injured, but his strength hasn't decreased at all. Since you refuse to offer up the divine water of the world, I'll let the Old Man take it himself." Nicholas sniggered coldly before rapidly charging forward to engage in a battle with the middle-aged man.
On the other side, the experts of the Hundred-footed clan and the Huangdao clan were still fighting. Their battle was no longer over the divine water of the world. It had slowly become a feud between the two clans.
Now that the divine water of the world had changed owners, the spectating experts of the Holy Emperor naturally did not pay any attention to them. They all looked at Nicholas and the middle-aged man as the light in their eyes flickered.
Zhou Chuyun and Liu Jun had already retreated several kilometers away. Blood oozed from the corner of their mouths, having been injured by the shockwaves of the battle. The current situation was beyond their control.
Although the Overlord of the Western Sea's soul was injured, he was still extremely powerful. After exchanging over a hundred blows with the middle-aged man, who was also at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor, he heavily injured the middle-aged man. He was covered in blood, and a transparent hole had even appeared in his chest, having been pierced by a single palm strike from Nicholas.
Killing intent filled Nicholas' eyes. He appeared before the middle-aged man in a single moment, and a layer of dense, gentle energy revolved around his shriveled hand. He swung it towards the middle-aged man's head mercilessly.
"Nicholas, since you want the divine water of the world, I'll give it to you." The middle-aged man finally gave in. He tossed the divine water in his hand into the crowd.
Nicholas immediately gave up on killing the middle-aged man when he saw this. He pursued the divine water with lightning speed, crossing a hundred meters in a single instance and grabbing it.
The three Saint Kings struck out together. Vast amounts of energy revolved around them as they attacked Nicholas at the same time. They began to engage in an intense battle with him.
Nicholas' battle prowess was extremely great. His Heaven-extinguishing Palm was extremely powerful, and he was able to match the three Holy Emperor experts all by himself. He even gained the upper hand slightly.
There were a few other Holy Emperor experts watching from afar. They became rather tempted when they saw this.
Nicholas glanced around and sneered, "You want to fight the Old Man with just you? You're looking to die." Suddenly, Nicholas' eyes became demonic. Two streaks of red light suddenly shot out, enveloping two of them, causing them to become momentarily dazed.
"It's said that Nicholas' original form is a demonic dragon. This is his innate ability. It specializes in attacking the souls of people. It's impossible to defend against," a Holy Emperor expert said softly from afar.
With a flash, Nicholas suddenly appeared beside the two dazed Holy Emperor experts. His shriveled hand struck their heads with lightning speed, shattering their skulls and wiping out their souls.
The remaining Holy Emperor expert immediately became frightened out of his wits. He no longer had the heart to care about him, so he turned around and fled.
Nicholas did not chase after him. He glanced at the spectating Holy Emperor experts with some threat before opening the bottle. He wanted to drink the divine water of the world immediately.
Many of the Holy Emperor experts did not take action. They had all been stunned by Nicholas' strength. However, there were still some people who did not fear Nicholas. At this moment, the four old men who had been walking together stepped forward at the same time. A pitch-black sword appeared in their hands. These were swords forged from extremely tough meteoric metal. There were strange inscriptions on them. Afterwards, they slashed out at the same time, shooting out four strands of sword Qi at Nicholas. The sword Qi was like a rainbow as it surged with a presence. It was filled with a sharp presence, which was very different from regular sword Qi.
Nicholas' eyes turned cold. He struck out with four palms to shatter the sword Qi. He sneered, "You want to fight the Old Man with the four of you? You overestimate yourselves. " Nicholas' eyes were filled with disdain. The four old men were all at the Third Heavenly Layer. Although the sword Qi they had shot out was very powerful, it was still nothing in his eyes.
The four elders did not speak. The four of them formed a formation and pressed forward at the same time, fighting Nicholas. The four of them supported each other, attacking and defending, advancing and retreating at the same time. There was not the slightest bit of chaos, and it was very rhythmic. Although they were not as strong as Nicholas, they were evenly matched with him. They were even faintly suppressing him.
"I never thought you'd know how to use a combination formation. The Old Man has underestimated you," Nicholas said coldly. Nicholas said coldly. His eyes turned demonic again, shooting out two red beams of light.
"Infinite Sword Formation!" The four old men called out. Four metal swords intertwined with one another in the shape of a mouth, and their power actually fused together. Afterward, a shocking sword Qi shot out from the middle, actually shattering the red light from Nicholas' eyes. It continued on towards Nicholas without slowing down at all.
Nicholas dodged the attack by a hair's breadth. He stared at the four old men in disbelief and cried out, "How is this possible? Your sword Qi can actually block my innate ability."
Nicholas' innate ability was a soul attack. It targeted the souls of his opponents, catching them off guard. Over all these years, he had experienced many battles of life and death. In the end, he had always used his innate ability to turn the situation around. He had never failed. At the same time, he had used his innate ability to challenge those stronger than him many times. He had killed many experts who were stronger than him. No one could remain unscathed from his innate ability.
The four old men were all cold. They said nothing. They looked at one another and immediately changed their formation. They surrounded Nicholas from four different directions. They struck out with their swords and attacked Nicholas with their full strength. They actually forced Nicholas into a retreat. Very soon, a few vicious wounds appeared on his body.
Nicholas also fought with his full strength. Surging energy poured out of his body, but every time he tried to kill one of them with his full strength, the other three would launch a fatal attack at him at the same time, forcing him to give up on attacking and switch to defense. It was an extremely frustrating battle.
"That's a very powerful sword formation," a Saint King in the distance realized what it was and sighed in amazement.
"This sword formation is very profound. If it weren't for the sword formation, they wouldn't be Nicholas' opponent even if the four of them worked together. Nicholas is an ancient sea beast that can challenge those stronger than him," said a middle-aged man. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man bathed in blood. He was the one who had been injured by Nicholas and robbed of the divine water of the world.
"Skypeak Sword Formation!" One of the four old men called out. They worked extremely well together, sheathing their swords at the same time. Afterward, powerful sword intent radiated from them, surging into the clouds.
At that moment, the four of them seemed to become four swords that stood in the sky. They shone with eternal light. At the same time, their presences rapidly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, they broke through the Holy Emperor's Third Heavenly Layer and reached the peak of the Fourth Heavenly Layer. They seemed to be about to break through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer.
This was not their own strength. Instead, it was the sword formation that allowed the four of them to fuse their strength into one, allowing one of them to
Their strength had skyrocketed in a short amount of time.
All of a sudden, the four of them moved, leaving behind a dream-like afterimage as they charged at Nicholas at an unbelievable speed.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
The four swords stabbed into Nicholas' body at the same time. Violent and tyrannical sword Qi erupted from the swords, turning Nicholas' body into a bloody mess.
Just when Nicholas' soul wanted to flee, the four swords in his body produced a terrifying suction force. It actually pulled his soul toward the four swords. In the end, he was split into four and sucked into the swords.
"No!" Nicholas' roar of fear and despair could be vaguely heard. There was no more sound after that.
The four old men remained as cold as before. They slowly pulled out their blood-soaked swords and pulled out a towel from their Space Rings to carefully wipe the blood off the swords. The divine water of the world in Nicholas' hands naturally ended up in their hands as well.
The Holy Emperor experts in the surroundings all showed fear. Nicholas' death had a very great impact on their minds.
Nicholas had already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. His battle prowess was enough to contend with 16th Star experts, yet he had been slain so easily by four old men of unknown origins. Moreover, he had failed to harm his opponents at all. All of them struggled to accept this.
The experts of the Huangdao clan and the Hundred-footed clan were still fighting to the death. They had completely abandoned the divine water of the world now. The battle had reached a climax, where they would not stop until one of them was dead.
