Northern Region.
"Leader, the final battle of the Southern Region's throne competition will begin today," Elder Liu said.
"I know." Zuo Bufan's eyes flickered as he played with the luminous cup in his hand.
"Then the method you mentioned before …" Elder Liu said hesitantly.
"It failed." Zuo Bufan waved his hand unhappily and looked at Elder Liu with cold eyes. "Others don't know, but don't tell me you don't know? The Caiyi Society's forces in the Southern Region have been wiped out. Now that their reputation is in shambles, how can they have the time and energy to participate in the competition? "
Elder Liu said, "It's just that the Witch Emperor's punishment is more important."
"It's useless. Tell them that I'm at my wit's end," Zuo Bufan said impatiently.
Elder Liu moved his mouth and replied, "Yes, Leader."
Once he finished speaking, he sighed softly and slowly disappeared from the hall's entrance with a hint of regret.
Looking at the departing figure, Zuo Bufan's originally unfriendly face slowly froze, and he sneered. "Old man, you're really scheming. Your master is seriously injured, but you want to curry favor with the Witch Emperor so quickly. Using the Human Demon Holy Lord to get rid of me, your plan is not bad. Unfortunately, the heavens don't listen to your wishes, ha. "
"Lin Feng …" Zuo Bufan murmured, his eyes flashing.
"First, he swept my Caiyi Society, then seriously injured the Human Demon Holy Lord. This kid really has some skills."
"However, don't think that I'll just let it go."
Zuo Bufan kneaded the luminous cup in his hand. The dark green color reflected his sparkling eyes, which had deep shrewdness. "Idiot, do you think that I, Zuo Bufan, only control the Caiyi Society?" The luminous cup in his hand shattered. Zuo Bufan sneered. "If we're talking about chess pieces, I have plenty of them."

On the challenge stage.
At this moment, King Ju was in a difficult position.
He had never been in such an 'embarrassing' situation because he had stood on the wrong side before.
If he had voted against Lin Feng like Ke Ke, there would be no need to hesitate now. Standing on the stage, even if he lost, it would be a glorious defeat, like King Yan. If he didn't accept the challenge, like Ke Ke, he would be praised.
However, he voted in favor of it!
Furthermore, his reaction was not as fast as King Lu's, making it difficult for him to advance or retreat.
He knew that he would definitely lose if he went up on the stage. Moreover, it would depend on Lin Feng's feelings and whether or not Lin Feng would hold back. Even if Lin Feng 'accidentally' seriously injured him, no one would say anything. But if he didn't go up on the stage, he would definitely be ridiculed and labeled as a 'coward', and would be pointed at behind his back.
Either way, he would lose all face.
His heart was in a mess.
Right at this moment …
"Whoosh!" A grey energy suddenly rose from the depths of King Ju's heart.
No one saw it. It was impossible to see it. It was like the summoning of a demon. It was a power that did not belong to a martial artist. King Ju's eyes lit up.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng who was staring at King Ju shuddered.
A familiar aura appeared on King Ju's body. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
The light in King Ju's eyes kept changing, as if there was a surge of energy within. Lin Feng pondered. The changes in the aura were complicated. King Ju seemed to have changed into another person. It was not a change in the aura, but a change in the 'heart'.
"His eyes …." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
The light flashed. The pressure was extremely strong. The power of a peak saint was dazzling.
Behind King Ju, the constellation of Indian Constellation was completely lit up. From appearing to being blurry, from being blurry to being hazy, it slowly bloomed and became clearer. And at this moment, everyone saw that King Ju was different. In a split second, it caused a heated discussion.
Obviously, King Ju wanted to fight!
"Tsk, he is not Lin Feng's opponent at all."
"That's right. Even King Yan could not take more than three moves from Lin Feng."
"Let's see how Lin Feng wins later!"
….
Everyone's voices rose, but it did not affect King Ju at all.
"He really changed." Lin Feng's gaze congealed.
Pata! Pata! King Ju's muscles were changing, condensing and refining, as though the essence was being extracted. Following King Ju's growl, his aura clashed continuously. His veins were exposed, as though a wild beast was transforming.
The clearest thing was undoubtedly the constellation behind King Ju.
Perfect display!
At this moment, Emperor Shun, King Yan and the rest of the strong martial artists had already noticed something strange.
The constellation was too clear!
That clarity was more like ….
"Peng!" A shocking explosion of Qi energy caused the surrounding martial artists to be dumbfounded. A layer of grey light enveloped King Ju, merging with his originally black starlight, forming a strange color. But this was not what shocked everyone.
The truly terrifying thing was that King Ju's body had completely changed. From inside to outside, it was as though he had forcefully expanded.
His entire person was stronger and more refined. It was as though the impurities were removed, leaving only the essence behind.
The power was extremely terrifying!
"It disappeared!"
"Look, the constellation behind King Ju disappeared!"
"Look at his forehead! Oh my god! "
….
There was an uproar as everyone was shocked.
The disappearance of the constellation was replaced by the appearance of the constellation on King Ju's forehead. The layer of light was dazzling, causing the surrounding Saints to be deeply shocked, mixed with endless jealousy and envy.
That was the symbol of the Saint King level!
The system of power had completely changed.
"Boom! ~" King Ju clenched his fists. Like an enraged lion, his aura suddenly exploded.
A cloud of dust flew, causing the surrounding Saints to be blown away. That pair of bright eyes stared straight at Lin Feng. When their eyes met, Lin Feng's eyes were also filled with a strange light. At this moment, an aura that was slightly inferior to the Human Demon Holy Master's rose, but had a similar level of power.
Astral origin energy that was purer and more powerful than his!
Saint King level.
This was not the real King Ju!
But it was the much stronger King Ju!
"Just like 'them'." Lin Feng's heart trembled, his eyes burning.
At this moment, he had completely remembered.
It was exactly the same as the group of 'citizens' that he had seen in The Kingdom of Maru. Their eyes seemed to have no human emotions, as if they were controlled by demons. The murderous aura was extremely strong, and their strength was strengthened by the layer of grey energy. But here ….
It allowed King Ju, who was originally at the edge of the Saint King level, to completely break through the bottleneck!
Now, he was a Beginner Saint King!
"Boom!" Jumping up from the ground, King Ju shot towards the stage like an arrow released from a bow. The surging aura made everyone's heart skip a beat, and a chill ran down their spines. That was the real Saint King level aura, and it was not fake. King Ju had completely transformed!
Thud! He landed heavily.
Lin Feng and King Ju's eyes met, and their battle intent condensed in the sky.
The battle instantly started!
…
There was no hesitation.
King Ju's eyes were burning, and there was no longer any human emotions in them.
It was as if he had sold his soul to the demons, but in exchange, he had an even stronger power and a stronger murderous aura. At this moment, he was no longer the 'normal' King Ju, but a cold-blooded murderous god, just like the violent citizens of The Kingdom of Maru.
There was no emotion.
Or rather, there was only one reason left in his mind, and that was —
Kill the person in front of him!
"Oh no!" Lin Feng's heart trembled, and his expression changed slightly.
King Ju came too quickly, and he did not have enough time to summon his doppelganger and use the Seven Ultimate Heavenly Star Formation. Compared to the Holy Master of the Human Demon, King Ju's attack was fierce and cruel, and he did not hesitate!
Fast!
Unusually fast!
King Ju, who had just entered the Beginner Saint King level, was faster than the Holy Master of the Human Demon, who was in the Intermediate Saint King level. It was unbelievable.
But that was the truth.
"It's this layer of grey energy." Lin Feng pursed his lips, and the flames in his hands did not burn.
With his current strength, he would be at a disadvantage in a head-on clash. His astral origin power was already inferior, and the difference in strength of a single level made him suffer in all aspects. It was different from the battle with the Holy Master of the Human Demon. At that time, he had the formation to rely on.
But there was nothing in front of him!
But no matter how much he was at a disadvantage, he could not avoid this battle.
It was not only because he was on the challenge stage, but also because it was the final battle of the Imperial Throne Competition, and the battle for the Southern Region's Master. It was also because of the huge question mark in his mind. This grey energy only appeared in the Kingdom of Maru, and it belonged to the Ten Thousand Bones Empire, so why —
Why did it appear on King Ju?
Was it a coincidence, or was there some other reason?
Was there some big secret hidden in it?
It was very important to him!
"Yang Mirror!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and the Yin Yang Mirror appeared in his hand.
This Earth-Grade Black Class Connate treasure that his grandfather, Feng Chao, had given him greatly increased his combat strength. Even when fighting against Saint King-level powerhouses, it was still very effective. Although there were only two abilities, both the 'Yang Mirror' and the 'Yin Mirror' had their own miraculous effects.
Now, he had to distance himself!
"Whoosh!" Light shot out in all directions, and the astral energy gathered in the white light. The Yin Yang Mirror instantly bloomed with infinite light, and the diamond-shaped colors were like countless pieces of glass overlapping each other. The light was constantly refracted, and instantly formed an intense light array in front of him.
With the astral energy as the axis, the Yin Yang Mirror bloomed with strange energy!
…
"What is this!"
"What a dazzling light."
"Why can't I sense Lin Feng and King Ju's aura!?"
…
Everyone exclaimed.
Emperor Shun's eyes lit up slightly, and the other experts also looked envious.
This kind of treasure could not only block vision, but also cut off aura. It was an excellent treasure for Heavenly Gods who had to distance themselves from each other. The white light formed a natural array, and it quickly built up with the Yang Mirror and the astral energy as the axis. The front seemed to be separated into two worlds by the Yin Yang Mirror. Lin Feng quickly retreated, and his eyes changed rapidly.
Their figures stacked together in an instant.
But …
"How is this possible!" Lin Feng's expression changed.
He suddenly felt that the distance between him and King Ju had not widened, but had gotten closer in an instant.
Moreover, he was getting closer and closer!
He completely ignored the effects of the Yang Mirror!
"Oh no." Lin Feng's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, it was too late to summon another clone, and King Ju's speed was very fast.
It was as fast as lightning!
