King of Ten Thousand Years

In the vast, endless Celestial Extreme Mountain Range, there were several terrifying Demon Beasts who called themselves ”Demon Kings,” ruling over countless Demon Beast subjects.

The Black Wind Demon King was one of them!

Five hundred years ago, the Black Wind Demon King had left the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range and destroyed a kingdom before retreating deep into the mountains, where it had remained ever since.

Unexpectedly, the Black Wind Demon King had now left the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range once again, and its target was the Azure Cloud Kingdom!

RUMBLE! WHOOSH!

Around the Royal Capital, Demon Beasts had laid siege to the city!

And in the sky, avian beasts had already arrived above the Imperial Palace!

A pitch-black shadow blotted out the sky, emanating the boundlessly terrifying aura of a Demon King, shaking all in its presence!

In the Imperial Palace, all the maids, servants, and Guards turned pale and trembled uncontrollably under the Black Wind Demon King’s pressure.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, the sky-blotting black shadow drew closer. It was a colossal black bird, a full fifty to sixty meters long. Its feathers had a dark, metallic sheen, and it radiated a heaven-soaring, ferocious aura!

This was the Black Wind Demon King!

And on the Black Wind Demon King’s wing stood a white-haired old man, an arrogant look on his face. ”Hahaha, Li Yunxiu, are you not going to surrender yet?”

Inside Zhengtian Palace.

The cold-faced middle-aged man bowed respectfully and called out, ”Greetings, Lord Hu!”

”You actually acted on your own without waiting for me, and you nearly got yourself killed,” the white-haired old man reprimanded him coldly.

”Lord Hu’s rebuke is justified. However, I was about to succeed. I only failed because Luo Tian suddenly appeared in the Azure Cloud Kingdom,” the cold-faced middle-aged man reported truthfully.

Their original plan was for this Lord Hu to go to the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range, convince the Black Wind Demon King to join forces, and then flatten the Azure Cloud Kingdom in one fell swoop before conquering the other kingdoms.

But the Black Wind Demon King proved difficult to persuade, and Lord Hu had not succeeded for a long time.

So, the cold-faced middle-aged man didn’t wait any longer and took action directly.

Unexpectedly, just as he had failed, Lord Hu had succeeded in persuading the Black Wind Demon King!

”Your Lordship is wise and powerful to have had such a backup plan. This humble one is full of admiration.”

The National Preceptor immediately scrambled to his feet, bowing and scraping with an obsequious smile.

The cold-faced middle-aged man shot the National Preceptor a glacial glance.

’I’ll deal with this guy later.’

The cold-faced middle-aged man looked at Li Yunxiu, a mocking smile on his face. ”Li Yunxiu, if you voluntarily give up your position as Monarch, the Azure Cloud Kingdom can be spared a disaster!”

Li Yunxiu looked up at the Black Wind Demon King in the distant sky, feeling an unprecedented and immense pressure!

The Black Wind Demon King was one of the overlords of the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range. The Azure Cloud Kingdom was completely powerless against it!

”Brother Luo...”

Li Yunxiu couldn’t help but look at Luo Tian, seeking his opinion.

But it was as if Luo Tian hadn’t even seen the Black Wind Demon King!

He was still staring at the cold-faced middle-aged man, and he snapped, ”I was just asking you a question. What’s the meaning of this sudden spout of nonsense?”

The cold-faced middle-aged man froze.

Luo Tian had indeed been asking him who the mastermind was.

Because his reinforcements had suddenly arrived, he had thrown the matter to the back of his mind.

’Wait, no!’

’I’m not in a desperate situation anymore. Why should I obediently answer Luo Tian’s question? It should be him begging me in a low voice to spare his life!’

”You brat, are you blind? Can’t you see the situation you’re in? Get on your knees!” the cold-faced middle-aged man barked.

”Hm?”

Luo Tian’s brows furrowed, and an ethereal Sword Light flickered in his eyes.

A cold wind stirred in the air.

SHLK!

In the next instant, the cold-faced middle-aged man felt a chill on his neck, and his head flew off.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

’Luo Tian actually killed him just like that?’

”Hm?”

The white-haired old man on the Black Wind Demon King’s wing saw this, and his brows instantly furrowed into a knot!

”So it’s you! The King of the Celestial Pride!” the white-haired old man snorted coldly.

Luo Tian had been too famous before. As long as one wasn’t too out of touch or their information channels too blocked, they would have basically heard of his great name!

”However, times have changed. So what if you’re the King of the Celestial Pride? You dared to kill my subordinate. Today, I will ensure you die without a burial place!” the white-haired old man roared in anger.

The thought of slaughtering a peerless genius like Luo Tian made him feel incredibly excited, giving him a sense of accomplishment.

ROAR!

The Black Wind Demon King suddenly flapped its wings and roared. Its demonic qi surged to the heavens, and dark clouds roiled!

The white-haired old man almost lost his footing. ’Why did the Black Wind Demon King suddenly get so agitated?’

WHOOSH!

In the next instant, the Black Wind Demon King’s eyes turned blood-red. It transformed into a massive black shadow and charged fiercely toward Luo Tian!

The white-haired old man was astonished.

He hadn’t even given the order, yet the Black Wind Demon King was charging directly at Luo Tian as if they shared a deep, irreconcilable hatred.

”Supreme Elder, be careful!” many people cried out.

The Black Wind Demon King was a legendary existence; the terror of its power was the stuff of legends in the Azure Cloud Kingdom!

”Luo Tian, go die!” the white-haired old man laughed with delight.

But Luo Tian stood his ground, his expression cold and indifferent, unmoved by the Black Wind Demon King’s actions.

Suddenly, Luo Tian seemed to remember something.

”Are you looking for this?”

Luo Tian took out a piece of black bone—the Demon Emperor Bone!

When the Black Wind Demon King saw this bone, it became incomparably joyful and excited!

This Demon Emperor Bone was a symbol of its status. It had been lost for many years, and now, it had finally been found.

”The Demon Emperor Bone!”

The white-haired old man’s eyes bulged. ’Luo Tian actually has such a treasure!’

On the Azure Cloud Kingdom’s side, many people recalled an incident from many years ago. The Black Wind Demon King’s Demon Emperor Bone had been lost, prompting it to launch a ferocious Beast Tide. Although the situation was resolved, the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor Bone became a mystery...

So, the Demon Emperor Bone had fallen into Luo Tian’s hands.

ROAR!

The Black Wind Demon King let out an angry howl, its blood-red eyes radiating an incomparably cruel aura!

It charged forward, stirring up a black storm. Even the Supreme Elder, the gray-haired old woman, felt not the slightest will to resist under this pressure.

’Just how strong is the Black Wind Demon King?!’

The gray-haired old woman was completely unable to determine the Black Wind Demon King’s specific Cultivation level.

Just as the Black Wind Demon King charged in front of Luo Tian, Luo Tian barked coldly, ”Get down!”

His aura changed abruptly, as if he had transformed into a majestic and mighty Demon Emperor that dominated the heavens and earth.

A majestic and domineering Demon Emperor’s Qi shot directly toward the Black Wind Demon King!

BAM!

The incomparably ferocious Black Wind Demon King slammed directly onto the ground. Its massive body pressed flat against the earth, trembling before Luo Tian!

With Luo Tian’s current Cultivation and aura, it was more than enough to scare the Black Wind Demon King out of its wits.

If he were to use the Demon Emperor Bone to simulate a Demon Emperor’s aura, the Black Wind Demon King would instantly be scared into a docile little sparrow.

As for the white-haired old man on the Black Wind Demon King’s wing, he stumbled and was nearly thrown off.

He managed to leap into the air just in time, then slowly floated back down!

The white-haired man stared at the scene before him in utter disbelief!

The Black Wind Demon King from the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range actually had such a docile side, submitting before Luo Tian and not even daring to breathe loudly!

Everyone else around was also dumbfounded.

”What in the world is going on?”

”Is the Black Wind Demon King actually trying to curry favor with Luo Tian?”

The crowd exclaimed in shock, their minds reeling.

”Black Wind Demon King, didn’t you promise to join forces with me? Get up! Listen to my command and kill this brat!” the flustered and exasperated white-haired old man roared.

The Black Wind Demon King raised its head and glanced at the white-haired old man, its eyes filled with ridicule and disdain, as if to say, ’Is this person a fool?’

The white-haired old man’s body stiffened slightly.

He’d had a doubt before!

He had gone to the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range and tried to convince the Black Wind Demon King to form an alliance for half a month, all to no avail.

But a few days ago, the Black Wind Demon King had suddenly started roaring and charged out of the Celestial Extreme Mountain Range.

The white-haired old man had thought the Black Wind Demon King had agreed to the alliance. He told it to come to the Azure Cloud Kingdom Capital, and it came!

’But thinking about it now... the Black Wind Demon King probably never agreed to the alliance at all. It just came to take back its Demon Emperor Bone and played me for a fool in the process!’

Luo Tian saw all this as well and couldn’t help but feel that the white-haired old man was a bit stupid and pathetic for being played by a Demon Beast.

”Now, I’ll ask you, who is giving you orders?” Luo Tian asked, looking at the white-haired old man.

”Hmph, you want to know? Well, I refuse to tell you!” the white-haired old man snorted stubbornly.

He was certain that since Luo Tian wanted to extract information from him, he wouldn’t be killed so easily.

That meant the white-haired old man would have time to call for reinforcements!

But Luo Tian just said, ”If you’re not going to talk, then forget it!”

”Eat him.”

Luo Tian looked at the Black Wind Demon King and pointed at the white-haired old man, as if commanding his own pet dog.

WHOOSH!

The Black Wind Demon King pounced forward with great excitement and joy, looking exactly like a pet dog.

The white-haired old man’s face turned deathly pale.

’Luo Tian doesn’t play by the rules!’

”No... Luo Tian, don’t do this... I’m willing to talk...”

The white-haired old man forced an awkward smile, trying to save the situation.

But it was too late.

The Black Wind Demon King swallowed him in one gulp and began to chew. CRUNCH, CRUNCH.

Luo Tian’s expression was calm.

It didn’t matter whether the white-haired old man talked or not.

At his current level, if he wanted to know the answer, he could simply deduce it through Inference.

”You can go now. Leave the Demon Emperor Bone with me,” Luo Tian said to the Black Wind Demon King.

The Black Wind Demon King nodded obediently, then led its subordinates in a swift retreat from the Azure Cloud Kingdom.

The Black Wind Demon King had lived for nearly a thousand years.

It was arrogant and domineering, and it had even played the white-haired old man for a fool. This showed it was not stupid in the slightest.

The Black Wind Demon King had gauged the enormous gap in Cultivation between itself and Luo Tian!

It also sensed the presence of two other extremely terrifying Celestial Level auras within the Imperial Palace.

Its life was certainly more important than the Demon Emperor Bone, so it left obediently.

”A mere High Tier Earth Element Realm Demon Beast dares to call itself a Demon King,” Luo Tian shook his head and smiled.

In the Broken-star Realm, a true ”Demon King” was a True Martial Realm Level Demon Beast. They were absolute nightmarish existences that not even the three Overlord Level powers dared to provoke!

And the so-called ”Demon Emperor Bone” wasn’t a real ”Demon Emperor Bone” either; it was also just an exaggeration and a rumor.

At Luo Tian’s current level, he could tell that it was just a piece of a Martial King Level Demon Beast’s bone.

”Alright, let’s continue the state banquet,” Luo Tian said in a lighthearted tone, turning around.

The stunned experts of the Royal Family finally snapped back to their senses.

The body was instantly cleared away, and the state banquet continued as usual, as if everything that had just happened was merely a small, bygone interlude.

At the banquet.

Luo Tian was the center of attention. Many people wanted to toast him and curry favor, but they didn’t quite dare.

When a person’s power reaches a certain level, others are left with nothing but immense reverence and fear!

To them, Luo Tian was revered like a Divine Spirit!
