Chapter 118 The Gaze Cast by a Demigod, the Nameless King
The Trial Grounds of the Tower of Warriors.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!"
Two figures, one in gold and one in black, moved with lightning speed, flashing across the entire area and leaving two thin beams of light that constantly intersected and collided. Each collision caused a violent tremor in the air and an explosion of the earth.
After the final head-on collision.
The black beam of light slammed straight into the earth, causing it to shatter and create a huge crater.
"Hahaha! That was great! I haven't had this much fun playing in ages!!"
"I never imagined that someone in later generations would surpass me, Ye San, in pure physique!!"
A middle-aged man lay at the bottom of the pit, laughing wildly. His black hair was flying wildly. Although he was only at the second level, he exuded an incomparably domineering aura.
Ranked fourth in history, Ye San was a powerful figure from the Great Xia Dynasty two hundred years ago. He came from the military and joined the army at a young age. After fighting for ten years, he awakened his second talent, the SSS-level talent - Devouring Heaven Divine Body. From then on, he rose to prominence and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. However, he also attracted the attention of the Abyss. In the end, he sacrificed two Abyss Kings to kill the brilliant and talented Devouring Heaven King of Great Xia, who was expected to reach the God Realm.
"Kid, remember this: killing is the true meaning. The abyss isn't that scary. If you ever get the chance, go and crush that mountain of bones for me!"
Ye San shouted wildly, his figure turning into a rain of light and disappearing.
Jiang Yuan had heard of the Mountain of Dry Bones he mentioned; it was an S-class abyss located in the southern part of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it had been pacified forty years ago.
You have won and are currently ranked fourth. Would you like to continue the challenge?
"continue."
A white-haired boy with a cold expression appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Are you afraid of dying?" the white-haired boy asked.
……
In the underground artifact room of the Divine Martial Academy in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a star-patterned robe and wearing monocle, sat by the window, quietly reading a book like an ordinary old man.
He didn't look up until two blurry figures appeared at the table.
"Oh, it's you guys. What's up?"
Two blurry figures, one red and one blue, had indistinct faces, but the aura emanating from them was enough to awe the heavens and earth.
They were two kings!
"Elder Feng, you should have felt it too, right? Your historical figure in the Tower of Warriors is being challenged."
"So what?"
The blue figure laughed, "Let's make a bet, old man. We'll bet on whether that kid can get past you."
"You failed back then, and now you want to pin your hopes on the young people?" the old man clicked his tongue. "Alright, what's the bet?"
Feng Xuan, former principal of Shenwu Academy, is one of the three demigods of the Great Xia Dynasty.
As for the two illusory figures, one is the current dean of the Divine Martial Academy, and the other is the garrison commander of the capital.
The red figure spoke, its voice calm as still water, "The head of a king of the abyss."
"That's quite a bet. Alright, I agree." The old man closed the book and chuckled.
"Since he's playing against me, I'll bet on myself to win."
"I bet on him to win," the blue figure laughed. "What about you?"
The red figure calmly stated, "I will not participate."
"Then why are you even here to join in the fun!"
The old man smiled, then seemed to realize something, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
"Oh?"
The two kings looked at him.
The old man shook his head with a smile, "I lost. It seems he's stronger than I thought."
A flash of surprise crossed the red figure's eyes.
He knew better than anyone how powerful the old man was. His profession was a legendary Calamity Summoner. With the SS talent that could enhance the power of his skills—Calamity Amplification, he was practically a walking human disaster. In the lower ranks, he was an invincible existence. One big move could clear the map. He couldn't find any opponents in the same realm!
And yet, this being, practically invincible at lower levels, actually lost?!
The old man chuckled and said, "If you lose, you lose. The record is there so that it can be broken. This might not be a bad thing, since they are all students of our Shenwu Academy anyway."
"As the current principal of Shenwu Academy, you should be well aware of what it means for him to have reached this level. The Abyss will not stand idly by in the face of such a human prodigy. We must make sure nothing happens to him."
The red figure nodded.
"Jiang Province has been quite turbulent lately. The celestial omens are very vague. Coupled with the previous incident of the [Yin Master] invading the college entrance examination instance, it cannot be ruled out that the Abyss will make a big move there soon. I plan to go there in person."
"If necessary, I will kill Him." The red figure spoke calmly, yet with a murderous intent.
"That day, the Lord of Yin and the Abyss completely merged into one, and he also gained control of the dark power. It won't be so easy to kill him unless the Abyss is wiped out as well."
"So I'd like to borrow that artifact from you."
Relic Sequence 032, The Sigh of Light.
"I can lend it to you, but you know very well the power and cost of this artifact. It can only be used once, and you absolutely must not lose it," the old man said.
The red figure nodded.
Suddenly the old man paused, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Second place."
The blue figure exclaimed in astonishment, "Even the former Night King was defeated? This kid is really too strong."
"I remember that in the second tier, the person ranked number one in history was someone like that."
"That nameless king."
The old man nodded, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"That was someone from my era, with dual SSS-level talents, unparalleled throughout history. From the second to the ninth rank, he was the first in history! On the day he became king, the Abyss launched a great upheaval, plunging the entire world into war. The three kings of the Abyss besieged him, but one of them was killed in the process. This alarmed two demigods in the Abyss who did not hesitate to break the rules and intervene. Coupled with the internal traitors' rebellion at the time, he was driven into a desperate situation and died on the day he became king."
"If he were still alive, our Great Xia would not only have one more demigod, but it is also possible that the first god since the age of human abandonment of gods would appear."
Its name is—
