King of Ten Thousand Years

Those who block me die.

Four words. They reminded many present of the brutal scene when Luo Tian had first escaped the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion!

Several Elders from the Pro-Emperor Faction hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, but they had heard the stories afterward.

The Luo Tian before them now had a relaxed, almost leisurely air, as if he had absolute confidence in his ability to escape.

”Insolent! To spout such arrogance when death is at your door!”

An expert at the Sixth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm roared in anger and shot forward.

The immense might of the Spirit Sea Realm rolled forth like a tidal wave. He threw a colossal punch, the size of a water vat, that made the very air crackle!

”Luo Tian, run!”

Lin Dongfeng hurriedly sent a mental transmission.

Given the speed of the Body Technique Luo Tian had just displayed, he had a chance to escape. Staying here to fight would only mean waiting for other experts from the Royal Family to arrive!

Luo Tian seemed not to have heard Lin Dongfeng’s message, remaining calmly where he stood.

Facing the high-ranking Elder’s overwhelmingly powerful punch, his expression was placid as he slowly raised a single finger.

This scene stunned everyone present.

’Death is imminent, yet you neither run nor fight back. What’s the point of sticking one finger out?’

But in the next moment, they were all left gaping in astonishment.

They watched as the surging, brilliant fist of light struck Luo Tian’s finger first, only to be pierced straight through. Then, it crumbled and disintegrated.

Luo Tian was still standing in the same spot, without a single hair on his head harmed.

”Wh... What?”

The Elder was completely dumbfounded. ’Was I that weak?’

’No, that’s not it. How could Luo Tian be this strong?’

SWISH!

Maintaining his posture, Luo Tian’s figure blurred as he shot forward, closing in on the Elder.

”No! Save me!”

The hair on the Elder’s body stood on end. He spun around and fled.

Luo Tian could shatter his attack with a single finger; killing him would be just as easy!

”Attack together!” the sharp-faced elder shouted hurriedly.

The other high-ranking members came to their senses and launched their attacks in unison.

However, Luo Tian was too fast. He caught up to the Elder in an instant and stabbed the back of his neck with one finger.

PFFT!

A Holy Mansion Elder at the Sixth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm collapsed to the ground, dead, after a single stab from Luo Tian’s finger!

But at this very moment.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A total of six high-ranking members of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion, all with Cultivations around the Seventh Layer of Spirit Sea Realm, surrounded Luo Tian. Their formidable Spirit Level might swept out in all directions.

Five high-ranking members of the Pro-Emperor Faction, including the sharp-faced elder, immediately launched their attacks!

In an instant, glows from fists, flashes from blades, and Sword Qi were unleashed, completely enveloping Luo Tian.

”Die!” the sharp-faced elder roared maniacally.

But Luo Tian, surrounded by the numerous high-ranking members of the Pro-Emperor Faction, remained expressionless and said, ”A disorderly mob!”

SCREEE!

Suddenly, a sharp, ear-piercing cry pierced through the clouds.

From the distant sky, a massive blue silhouette shot down like a streak of brilliant lightning!

”What is that?”

”Such a terrifying aura! Retreat, quickly!”

The high-ranking members of the Pro-Emperor Faction were terrified and immediately fell back.

But compared to the Flying Cloud Bird, their speed was no better than a turtle’s crawl.

BOOM-CHIII!

The Flying Cloud Bird descended in a flash, a blue whirlwind that spun once around Luo Tian.

”Ah!”

A string of miserable screams rang out.

The six high-ranking members of the Pro-Emperor Faction were sent flying back a dozen meters, their bodies covered in several bloody gashes that were deep enough to show bone.

Three of them perished on the spot!

HISS!

The entire area fell silent, punctuated only by the continuous sound of sharp intakes of breath.

Lin Dongfeng and Chen Haofei stared at the large blue bird beside Luo Tian, utterly shocked.

’This kid actually has such a powerful flying mount. No wonder he was so fearless. I was worried for nothing...’

Lin Dongfeng wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

The aura emanating from this Flying Cloud Bird was nearly on par with that of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion’s Mansion Master. It was a Half-step Earth Element Realm beast.

With such a powerful flying mount, it would indeed be very easy for Luo Tian to leave whenever he pleased.

”You’re a Half-step Earth Element Realm Demon Beast, for crying out loud. How are three of them still alive?”

Luo Tian glanced at the Flying Cloud Bird.

Its eyes looked as if they were about to spew fire. The Flying Cloud Bird let out an infuriated cry and fixed its gaze on the surviving sharp-faced elder and the others.

It immediately charged out, venting all its anger on them.

”Luo Tian, don’t! I’m a member of the Azure Cloud Kingdom’s Royal Family! You can’t kill me!”

The sharp-faced elder was terrified and hurriedly begged for his life.

’A Half-step Earth Element Realm Demon Beast! How are we supposed to fight this?’

Even he, the Law Enforcement Elder and the one with the highest Cultivation among them, was only at the Eighth Layer of Spirit Sea Realm!

”I said, ’Those who block me die.’ Are you trying to make me break my word?”

Luo Tian retorted coolly.

The sharp-faced elder was at a loss for words.

WHOOSH! RIP!

The Flying Cloud Bird swooped in, its sharp talons tearing directly through the sharp-faced elder’s chest!

It then quickly turned to kill the other high-ranking members of the Pro-Emperor Faction.

”Sun Chasing Mansion Master, aren’t you going to do something? Save me!”

An Elder spotted a figure in the distance—it was none other than the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion’s Mansion Master, Ao Chuan.

When this Elder saw the Mansion Master wasn’t moving, he bellowed, ”Ao Chuan, are you protecting Luo Tian too?”

”Sigh!”

Ao Chuan sighed.

He had arrived long ago but had been watching from the sidelines.

”Apprehend Luo Tian!”

Ao Chuan finally gave the order.

He too disliked the Monarch’s methods, but as the Mansion Master of the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion, he had no choice but to act.

Otherwise, the Royal Family would surely use this as a pretext to suppress the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion and replace it with a new, more obedient Holy Mansion—like the fourth-ranked Panshi Martial Mansion, for instance.

Some of the high-ranking members loyal to the Mansion Master also finally made their move.

”Luo Tian, take my palm!”

Mansion Master Ao Chuan leaped over in an instant, a faint golden brilliance gathering around his body until he seemed to transform into a great sun!

”Quick, get on your flying mount and leave!”

Ao Chuan sent a secret mental transmission.

He struck with his palm, and a golden light bloomed. A giant golden palm, the size of a house, shot toward Luo Tian, carrying with it a fierce, searing wave of heat!

”Luo Tian!”

Chen Haofei couldn’t help but cry out.

Mansion Master Ao Chuan was the strongest expert in the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion. With a Cultivation at the Half-step Earth Element Realm, he was a powerhouse admired and revered by all the students!

With Ao Chuan making a move, how could Luo Tian possibly survive?

Just then, a squad of Law Enforcement Holy Guards arrived. Their leader was a woman of exceptional grace and stunning beauty—it was Princess Yunxiu.

Princess Yunxiu had rushed over the moment she heard Luo Tian had appeared.

Seeing Ao Chuan personally take action, her heart sank. Mist filled her phoenix-like eyes as she cried out, ”Brother Luo!”

BOOM!

The golden Palm Light illuminated the sky, its power boundless, as it blasted toward Luo Tian!

”Excellent timing!”

Luo Tian said with a faint smile.

With his current strength, all the enemies he had encountered so far couldn’t withstand a single blow.

Only Ao Chuan had managed to pique his interest.

”Guiyuan Cloud-Dispelling Hand!”

Luo Tian gathered his Guiyuan True Qi, coated his palm with it, and slowly struck out.

During his travels, he hadn’t slacked for a single moment; his Cultivation had never stopped.

The Seventh-Layer Spirit Sea Vortex inside him was now complete, and Luo Tian’s Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Seventh Layer of Spirit Sea Realm!

Furthermore, his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body had also reached Third-Layer Minor Achievement.

BOOM! BANG!

Luo Tian struck without hesitation. A massive, thick, crystal-yellow palm whistled through the air and instantly slammed into the dazzling golden Palm Light!

Two terrifying forces clashed head-on. The explosion shook the heavens, and a storm of energy swept in all directions.

SKID! SKID!

Ao Chuan retreated two steps, a look of astonishment on his face. ”This...”

The crowd below was also completely stunned!

Mansion Master Ao Chuan’s Attack had actually been shattered by Luo Tian!

And from the looks of it, the Mansion Master had even been pushed back!

All the students and high-ranking members were frozen stiff, wondering if they were hallucinating!

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian descended from midair.

At that moment, the Flying Cloud Bird, having finished killing the members of the Pro-Emperor Faction, swooped in and caught Luo Tian steadily on its back.

”Hahaha! Let’s go!”

Luo Tian laughed heartily and began to leave on the Flying Cloud Bird.

But just then.

”Luo Tian, where do you think you’re going?!”

A calm, ancient voice, yet one that contained a terrifying pressure, thundered through the clouds, shaking everything in all directions.

A white-haired old man in brown robes could be seen Soaring Over from the distance, flying through the air.

”An Earth Level Martial Artist!”

”The Royal Elder, Li Changqing!”

Everyone in the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion was enveloped by the Earth Level Martial Artist’s might, and the Qi and blood in their bodies seemed to freeze solid.

”How could this be?”

Lin Dongfeng’s face turned deathly pale.

Luo Tian was just about to escape, but who would have thought that a Royal Elder would arrive!

Ao Chuan’s expression also darkened.

”Ao Chuan, you can’t be careless when dealing with Luo Tian. You only used fifty percent of your strength just now. You almost let him escape!”

Li Changqing glanced at Ao Chuan.

His words were true.

Ao Chuan had no intention of killing Luo Tian and had only used fifty percent of his power.

His plan was to injure Luo Tian, make him realize the difficulty of the situation, and retreat on his Flying Cloud Bird.

That was why he had been pushed back in the exchange with Luo Tian just now.

”Luo Tian, do you think you can escape from me this time?”

Li Changqing said with a faint smile.

This was not the first time he and Luo Tian had met.

The last time he had pursued Luo Tian, he had also shown up at the end, only to be stopped by Hermit Hidden Dragon.

The world fell silent.

Everyone in the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion stared up at Luo Tian and Li Changqing in the sky.

Tears welled up in Princess Yunxiu’s eyes, and she clenched her delicate fists.

Li Changqing was a Royal Elder. Even if the Eldest Princess herself were to intervene, it would be useless, let alone her.

However, Luo Tian’s laughter suddenly echoed through the cold, silent sky. ”Hahaha!”

”What are you laughing at?”

Li Changqing frowned.

”Hahaha, I’d like to ask you, Royal Elder of the Azure Cloud Kingdom, where do you get the nerve to try and capture a Core Disciple of the Yunxiao Sect?”

Luo Tian continued to laugh, releasing a sharp, imposing aura.

The vast majority of people in the Sun Chasing Holy Mansion had no reaction at all upon hearing the name ’Yunxiao Sect’.

Clearly, their experience was too limited for them to have ever come across information of that level!

But Lin Dongfeng, Vice Manor Master Yue, Ao Chuan, and the others trembled, their faces filled with horror!

Of course, the same was true for Li Changqing!

”Yunxiao Sect... Core... Disciple?”

Lin Dongfeng was stupefied.

He had originally thought Luo Tian was an Upper Sect Disciple and had been overjoyed already.

He never would have imagined that Luo Tian was actually a Core Disciple!

As the name implied, a Core Disciple was part of the very core of the Yunxiao Sect!

To make a move against Luo Tian was to make a move against the Yunxiao Sect!

Even Prince Zheng had to bow and scrape before the Yunxiao Sect, let alone the Azure Cloud Kingdom!

”Impossible!”

Li Changqing’s mind felt as if it had been dealt a heavy blow. His body swayed, his face a mask of disbelief!

A Core Disciple of the Yunxiao Sect—that was absolutely impossible!

The Yunxiao Sect was the strongest power in the Eastern Domain; even the Chilong Dynasty had to pay it an annual tribute.

The Yunxiao Sect’s assessments and the internal competition within the Sect were incredibly fierce and cruel. Luo Tian had only been gone from the Azure Cloud Kingdom for a little over a year; it was impossible for him to have reached this stage!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The Flying Cloud Bird flapped its wings, carrying Luo Tian into the distance.

”Today, I was just passing by. In the future, I will pay a personal visit to the Azure Cloud Monarch!”
