"You … How is this possible? How is this possible! "
Apart from Yaoyao and the Dragon Rebel King, all the experts who walked into the teahouse revealed an expression of disbelief. They looked at Xiao Chen in astonishment. It was hard to imagine that a person who had been dead for more than twenty years would reappear in this world. They couldn't help but be shocked.
Some of them weren't very close to Xiao Chen in the past. Some even fought a life and death battle before. However, as time passed and hundreds of races appeared, those grudges were no longer important. Now, all the races needed to unite.
"You really didn't die …"
The golden-haired Samo walked up to Xiao Chen and gave him a punch as if they were close friends.
Everyone surrounded him.
The successor of Xiao Li's Flying Dagger, the Invincible Blade, held a sparkling and translucent dagger between his fingers. It was no more than three inches long. In a flash, it tore through the void and shot over like lightning.
Xiao Chen's Eightfold World appeared and confined the space.
Swoosh …
The sparkling and translucent dagger suddenly changed direction and returned to the Invincible Blade's hand. He stared at the Eightfold World and said, "That's right, it's really you."
The teahouse immediately became lively. These people were all influential figures in the past. They met again after so many years.
"Squeak …"
Even the little beast Ke was very happy. It wasn't shy at all and waved its little paw to greet everyone. It even happily muttered to the Dragon Rebel King as if it had endless things to say.
"Rebirth after death is truly a miracle. I didn't expect to see you again in this world."
"How did you do it?"
Today's reunion made Xiao Chen deeply moved. However, there were some things he couldn't tell them frankly. The Death Realm was too outrageous.
So many old friends appearing at the same time made Xiao Chen feel a little surprised. After asking, he found out that it was the Demonic Palace's outstanding disciple Yaoyao who contacted them. Soon, the nine provinces and the four worlds would become the trial battlefield. Yaoyao wanted to prepare for the future and unite everyone's strength to deal with the future crisis.
"Now I finally believe that the insufferably arrogant Yaksha King was killed by you."
The blonde Samo laughed heartily and said, "Many cultivators on both sides of the Yangtze River said they saw your figure. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect to see you today."
"How satisfying! The Yaksha King called himself the Heavenly King, he was cruel and bloodthirsty. The siblings Lazio and Katalasi died in his hands. Now that the Yaksha King has finally been eliminated, their souls in heaven can finally rest in peace."
As he spoke, Ah Shui felt a little sad.
"He killed a Yaksha Heavenly King, but now a Yaksha Heavenly Queen has appeared. This female Yaksha is even more powerful, ridiculously powerful!"
Chulain frowned.
"That's my wife."
When Qi'er saw Hai Yuntian's Adam's apple, he finally had no choice but to accept reality dejectedly. When he heard everyone talking about Yakshatian, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Don't misunderstand."
Xiao Chen quickly explained to everyone, "This is a friend of the Deity Race, our ally."
"Do you know why I contacted you?"
Yaoyao's skin was as dark as a waterfall. She had skin of ice and bones of jade. Her charming face had a pair of large watery eyes that flickered with a bewitching radiance. She said, "The Thunder God King, the Sea God King, the Earthly King, the Asura King, and the Heavenly Empress Yaksha. The five great experts of the perfected realm have already joined forces. They want to carry out a targeted elimination plan in the Nine Provinces. Anyone who resists will be killed without question. They have formed the Heavenly King Battle Team."
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
The situation was extremely grim. If the five Heavenly Kings of the perfected realm were to join forces, their strength was unimaginable. Who could stop them? Perhaps no one could stop them wherever they went.
Yaoyao was a national beauty that could turn all living things upside down. However, she didn't have the slightest bit of charm at this moment. She said very seriously, "I can imagine that they are not the only Heavenly King Battle Team. And who on our side has reached the perfected realm?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen together.
"I have just reached the second celestial layer of the perfected realm. If I were to face five Heavenly Kings at the same time, I would undoubtedly die."
Xiao Chen was very calm, but he explained seriously, "It would be good if Ke could join the battle. However, it has already received a warning from the other races' Half Ancestors. I'm afraid it won't be able to contribute."
The others were silent. Apart from Xiao Chen, no one had reached the perfected realm.
"I have stepped into the perfected realm with one foot."
The Deity Race man Qi'er suddenly opened his mouth. This made everyone quite shocked.
Although Qi'er had already stepped into the perfected realm, he still couldn't be considered an expert of the perfected realm. He still couldn't contend against the Heavenly Kings.
"I think there is one more person who has already stepped into the perfected realm."
Willow suddenly opened his mouth.
"Who?"
Everyone looked at him at the same time.
"Martial Spirit."
Willow Mu answered calmly.
"O-o-o-old Wu had a great battle with the Divine Dragon King last time. He, he, he … he stepped into the perfected realm so quickly?"
Chrysus didn't really believe it.
Willow Mu said, "After that battle, he said he was going to abolish all his divine abilities and focus on the martial imprint. I think he can reach the perfected realm."
Xiao Chen was moved. What Willow Mu said was very likely to be true. No one knew better than him how powerful and terrifying a pure martial imprint was. However, it was impossible for him to walk on that path. Currently, he was cultivating martial, soul, and divine abilities at the same time. He was already unable to focus on martial cultivation. Everyone had their own unique path, and this was the path he chose without any regrets.
"This is only your guess. If you can't be sure of something, you can't take it seriously."
Tenvis was very cautious. He felt that he had to carefully evaluate everything.
"I think there is an eighty percent chance that someone has already reached the perfected realm."
Oxman looked at everyone and said, "I don't know if you guys still remember the Solitary Sword Demon?"
How could everyone forget how powerful the Solitary Sword Demon was back then? After hearing this, someone said at that time, "Being powerful in the past doesn't mean he is still powerful in these twenty years. Sometimes, one's potential might not be continuously activated."
"That's right. Let's take a step back. So what if he reached the perfected realm? Can anyone find him?"
Oxman laughed and said, "We can't find him, but that doesn't mean others can't find him. The Solitary Sword Demon's brother-in-law is right here. I think he should have some news."
Aqua shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him for three years already. However, he should be living in seclusion."
Willow Mu asked, "Do you think he reached the perfected realm?"
"It's hard to say. I rarely saw him unsheathe his sword in the past few years. However, I have a feeling that everything around him can become a peerless killing sword."
"Yet another unknown expert who has gone missing."
Someone shook their head.
"I wonder if you guys have forgotten a few people?"
Yaoyao laughed.
"Which few people?"
"Zhao Chongyang, Xue Wu, Meng Xiangnie, and Canghai."
Once Yaoyao said this, everyone immediately started to discuss. These four people rose to power in the past twenty years and displayed extraordinary strength. Everyone agreed that one or two of them should've reached the perfected realm.
Back then, before Xiao Chen fell, he often heard of their names. However, until today, he had only seen Zhao Chongyang and Xue Wu. He immediately said, "Then think of a way to get in touch with them."
"Actually, there are one or two people, but … it's better not to mention them."
Samo shook his head.
Invincible Blade nodded and said, "Some people have already disappeared completely and can no longer be found."
"Actually, you guys have overlooked a very powerful woman."
Chrysus suddenly interrupted.
"Who are you talking about?"
Chen Hangjin asked puzzledly.
"The Nine Prefectures Empress Zhao Lin Er. She, she, she has countless destructive weapons in her hands. I'm afraid she can even kill a perfected person."
Zhao Lin Er? After Xiao Chen returned to the Nine Prefectures, he wanted to settle the score with her a few times, but he was delayed by some matters. He was stunned when he heard this.
"That's right, the ultimate weapon in the Nine Prefectures Empress' hands is indeed inestimable."
Recalling the past, discussing the grim situation of the Nine Prefectures, and the future crisis, everyone spoke freely and expressed their views.
On the day everyone gathered, a few foreign kings came to Hangzhou. They wanted to use this place as a stronghold when the trial war arrived.
Hearing this news, Chrysus laughed evilly on the spot. He pulled Totti's hand and said, "Totti, Totti, lure those brothers over. I'm going to take care of them."
Looking at that big face in front of him that could actually be considered handsome, but had an extremely wretched smile, Totti really wanted to step on it a few times.
"Don't, don't, don't look at me like that. I won't bully you in the future. Today, I'll give you a chance to make a contribution."
The Treant King, the Mountain King, and the Hundred Flowers King, these three foreign kings were standing at the bank of West Lake. All of them were very tempted. They were preparing to occupy this place and temporarily use it as their exclusive training ground.
Just at this time, a Jin Meinan walked over in large strides. She shouted from afar, "The three kings are already facing an imminent disaster."
The Treant King glared at her at once and reprimanded, "Who are you? Are you trying to scare us? Do you think we're trying to scare the earth? "
"There are a dozen experts in Hangzhou who want to take the three kings' lives. If you don't believe me, please come with me."
"What a joke."
The Mountain King also sneered, "Want to take our lives? If one comes, we'll kill one. If two come, we'll kill two. "
"Good, good, good words!"
Chrysus appeared in the sky and said to Totti on the ground, "Y-y-you disappoint me. You can't even withstand such a small test."
"Who are you?"
The Treant King shouted.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
Silhouettes flew in the sky. In an instant, a dozen people appeared and surrounded them.
The three foreign kings immediately felt that something was wrong. These people's energy waves were actually not weaker than theirs.
Around the Hundred Flowers King, sparkling and translucent petals fluttered in the air. He rushed to the sky and shouted, "Who are you?"
"The people who will kill you."
"How arrogant. Do you dare to fight me?"
The Hundred Flowers King seemed to be very conceited.
Silhouettes flashed in the sky. Immediately, five people flew up.
"I said one on one!"
The Hundred Flowers King glared at everyone.
"Of course it's one on one. You can fight the five of us alone."
Chrysus laughed and took the initiative to attack.
"Charge out!"
The Treant King and the Mountain King looked at each other and were about to break through the sky.
However, Yaoyao, Willow, Oxman, and many other experts were here. How could they give them the chance to escape? They immediately cut off their path.
Xiao Chen reminded, "Let them live for now, so as to prevent another half-ancestor from coming and looking for an excuse to attack. Let's kill them when the trial really starts. For now, let's imprison them."
"You …"
Just as Hundred Flower King was about to shout, he was forced to swallow the second half of his sentence.
"Chi …"
Chrysus rode on the white divine donkey and held a large kitchen knife in his hand. He almost chopped off the Hundred Flowers King's head. A large chunk of his long hair was cut off and scattered in the sky.
There was no suspense in the result of this battle. The three foreign kings were quickly sealed by everyone.
Everyone was overjoyed. There was no need to doubt the power of a joint battle. With so many experts gathered together, even if they were facing a few perfected heavenly kings, they still had the power to fight.
"Boom …"
An intense energy fluctuation came from afar. That was an unimaginable explosion in the distance.
"It's in the direction of the imperial capital."
"This seems to be Zhao Lin Er's destructive weapon."
Huge explosions occurred continuously. That part of the sky seemed to be shaking.
"Let's go and take a look."
Everyone flew as fast as lightning toward the imperial capital hundreds of miles away. They were moving at the maximum speed.
Xiao Chen had the Eightfold Speed. Naturally, he rushed to the front and soon arrived near the imperial capital.
He sucked in a breath of cold air. The entire Imperial Capital was covered by a huge energy barrier, protecting the entire city. Outside the Imperial Capital, the energy was surging violently. Many mountain ranges in the distance had completely collapsed, turning into dust and sand. Many fields had been destroyed, and the people who lived outside the city had all disappeared.
This was a huge disaster!
The villages and towns around the imperial capital were all destroyed and turned into ruins. Who knew how many creatures had turned into ashes.
In the sky, five great experts were as majestic as mountains. They were precisely the Asura King, the Earth King, the Sea King, the Thunder King, and the Yaksha Queen.
Five perfected experts had arrived at this place. Their might was oppressive in all directions. This was a powerful battle force that made people feel fear.
Not long ago, everyone was still discussing these five heavenly kings. Who would have thought that they would see them on the same day?
A targeted elimination, could it be that they wanted to start from the imperial capital? If not only the cultivators were included, but also the common people, that would be too much.
"Boom …"
From the energy barrier of the imperial capital, a black light beam suddenly shot up into the sky. Even the five heavenly kings evaded at the first moment.
However, the black light beam swept across the horizon. The Asura King was slightly slower. The instant he was hit by the black light, his body swayed continuously and almost fell from the sky. A bloody hole appeared on the right side of his chest.
"Today, I swear to destroy this imperial capital!"
The Asura King's hair stood on end like a blazing red flame.
"What a big tone. Are you planning to flatten the nine provinces as well?"
Xiao Chen silently appeared behind the Asura King. At the same time he spoke, the Hand of Heaven had already slapped down.
The void was pierced through. The Asura King's red hair was like several tens of thousands of red poisonous snakes as they coiled around Xiao Chen's arm.
The berserk power emitted a dazzling light as it sent the Asura King flying dozens of feet away. However, the blood on his head suddenly swelled up and wrapped around Xiao Chen's right hand. The dozens of feet long bloody hair danced in the air like a terrifying river of blood. A bewitching red light soared into the sky, wanting to twist Xiao Chen's arm to pieces.
"Boom …"
Xiao Chen's palm blade was like a rainbow as it broke the bloody hair. The bloody hair drifted down from the sky and dyed the sky red.
"It's you?"
Not far away, the Yaksha Empress screamed and swooped down to attack Xiao Chen. She already knew Xiao Chen's appearance from the Yaksha Half Ancestor. It could be said that when enemies meet, their eyes would turn red.
Just at this time, Chrysus, the Dragon Rebel King, Willow, Oxman, and the rest arrived. At the same time, the Battle King Ma Bao and several other kings appeared from another direction.
Even further away, Zhao Chongyang, Xue Wu, Dream Strike, Canghai, and the Golden Lion King were also flying over with extreme speed.
The destructive energy fluctuation here attracted many experts from the nine provinces.
The death of countless creatures caused a commotion in all directions. All the powerful cultivators were alarmed.
Just at this time, a grand voice transmitted from high up in the sky, "Since the large-scale battle has already begun, the trial by fire will open in advance!"
The grand voice reverberated in the sky of the nine provinces. Without a doubt, that was the Half Ancestor announcing the start of the war.
