Chapter 1897 - 1764: Rat King
Whoosh!
The dazzling Jing Tian Sword Light illuminated the entire world, emanating terrifying destruction as it slashed directly at the gigantic golden Star Sky Rat!
The golden Star Sky Rat, clearly a mutant beast that had long achieved spiritual awareness, left a shadow in place as it dodged the Jing Tian Killing Sword formed by the Earth Core Divine Fire, and, as if traversing space, wildly charged at Ye Fan.
This powerful golden Star Sky Rat was extremely formidable, exuding a faint saint lord-level pressure, and was almost at the venerable realm!
The mountain-sized golden giant rat exhibited immense power, instantly attacking Ye Fan, its body rapidly shrinking in the process, the golden light growing even stronger.
The gleaming white teeth shimmered with a cold light and bit directly towards Ye Fan’s throat, surprisingly using no beast techniques, purely an instinctual hunt!
Swish!
Ye Fan’s eyes were icy, a piercing aura emanating from him, with the Jing Tian Divine Spear in hand shooting out a skyful of spear shadows, completely enveloping the golden giant rat, sealing off every possible angle of attack.
"Sizzle..."
The Jing Tian Divine Spear swallowed divine radiance, leaving hundreds of wounds on the body of the golden giant rat in the blink of an eye.
Golden blood flowed out instantly, yet the giant rat was not torn apart, becoming a golden light that quickly retreated, while all the golden blood flowed back.
"Is this... an immortal body?"
Ye Fan was stunned; he also possessed the ability to reverse the flow of blood, but that a group of rats across the vast starry sky also held such divine skills left him particularly puzzled.
His body was already quite terrifying, yet the body of this golden giant rat seemed to be on par with his.
"Old Bai, stop hiding, immediately deal with the other Star Sky Rats, I will face this rat king!"
Ye Fan sent a message via divine consciousness, calling for Bai Yan Wolf to appear and shield him from the disturbance of the other rat group.
This golden giant rat was obviously the leader of all the Star Sky Rats on this planet; once it was slain, the remaining Star Sky Rats were hardly a threat.
"Here comes the king!"
Bai Yan Wolf responded, emerging from the Purple Gold Bell, having been swiftly inscribing a corner of an emperor’s killing array while hiding.
It knew that if there were holy level rats in this world, without an emperor’s killing array, escape would be difficult.
This abandoned starry sky ancient road was incredibly dangerous, filled with countless undefined peril, with extremely powerful beings on each ancient star.
Several times, both it and Ye Fan had nearly met their end, yet thanks to their incredibly fast Chasing Star Step, they managed to defuse several crises, narrowly escaping with their lives.
The golden giant rat exuded faint saint-level pressure, almost stepping into the venerable realm, absolutely an unparalleled adversary.
"You dirty rats, quickly come to this king to meet your death!"
Bai Yan Wolf shouted arrogantly, spewing array platforms from its mouth to suspend in the void, instantly setting up a corner of the emperor’s killing array.
"Boom..."
Though Bai Yan Wolf appeared bold and arrogant, it was more cunning than anyone; after setting up the emperor’s killing array, it immediately activated the array, and the deadly killing light crisscrossed within, chaotic energy pervading, the entire emperor’s killing array transformed into a world-grinding disk, mercilessly harvesting the Star Sky Rats’ lives.
"Squeak..."
Seeing the power of the killing array, the golden giant rat hurriedly squeaked a few times, causing the Star Sky Rats to abruptly halt their attacks and then recede like a tide.
"Swish!"
The golden rat king broke through the constraints of space, appearing instantly not far beside Ye Fan, its tail, ten meters long, swiped horizontally at Ye Fan like a whip, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.
"Here it comes!"
Ye Fan feared not, letting out a long howl, his hands turning crimson gold instantly, emitting dazzling light, even brighter than the golden light of the rat king.
Then, both hands grabbed the swinging tail of the golden rat king and fiercely spun it around, smashing it into the ground.
"Boom!"
A loud crash sounded as stones shattered and smoke and dust rose, creating a large deep pit on the ground.
The golden rat king was enraged; on this planet, it was an absolute ruler, even in nearby star domains, there were no creatures stronger than it; but today, it had been spun and smashed into the ground by a mere lord realm ant.
"Squeak..."
The golden rat king cried frenziedly, once breaking free from Ye Fan’s grasp, but a portion of its tail remained in Ye Fan’s hands, torn off forcefully.
Golden blood spurted wildly, then flowed back once more, even bleeding from the seven orifices could heal instantly.
Hmm?
Ye Fan knitted his brows; this golden rat king was extremely peculiar; though it had not reached the venerable realm, its body exceeded that realm, and most crucially, it was immortal, able to heal instantly regardless of the severity of injury. That was its most terrifying aspect.
Undoubtedly, the golden rat king, including the other rats on this ancient star, had extraordinary fortunes, but what they consumed to achieve such bizarre physiques remained unknown.
Having severed a portion of the tail, a flash of fear appeared in the golden rat king’s eyes. Clearly, it had long unlocked the lord, possessing wisdom not inferior to humans, a distinct difference from the other Star Sky Rats.
The combat power of the golden rat king was not particularly strong, but sufficient to threaten Ye Fan, its greatest reliance being the immortal body, able to rapidly recover even if its flesh was shattered.
Ye Fan captured several drops of golden blood, and upon close observation, discovered a shocking fact: these golden droplets contained a strong quasi-emperor aura.
"Could these rats have consumed a quasi-emperor’s corpse?"
Ye Fan startled himself with this speculation.
Quasi-emperor, what kind of concept is that?
In an era devoid of Great Emperors, quasi-emperors were the strongest combat powers, the sole protagonists of the universe.
Every quasi-emperor was unique; even in death, they would transform, never leaving behind a corpse!
"Trying to run? Can you escape from me?"
Seeing the Golden Rat King seemingly wanting to slip away, Ye Fan shouted loudly, immediately displaying the Chasing Star Step, surrounded by purple Thunder Power and silver Xuan Ci Polar Light, as well as various Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, using the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand to block its retreat.
"Boom!"
The Immortal Stele Scattering Hand descended, but it did not hit the Golden Rat King. At the last moment, it tore through the void and escaped.
"Keeping you around will be a disaster sooner or later, better to eliminate you now!"
Ye Fan’s eyes widened, two Dragon shaped Divine Lights pierced through the void as he charged towards the Golden Rat King with the Jing Tian Divine Spear.
At this moment, the Golden Rat King transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man, his whole body radiated golden light, as if forged from gold, shimmering with metallic luster.
"You dare trespass into my territory, leave behind your flesh, and I can let your Divine Soul go!"
The golden middle-aged man’s eyes shimmered with a sinister light, as if considering Ye Fan as fish on the chopping block.
"Quite a big mouth you have there, do you really think you can devour my body?"
Ye Fan swung the Jing Tian Divine Spear, conjuring thousands of spear shadows, stabbing forward.
The golden middle-aged man knew the danger, transformed into a beam of light, rushed towards a distant stone mountain, with sharp teeth shooting out several beams of Golden Light, opening a cave in the stone mountain and diving in.
"Swoosh!"
The Jing Tian Divine Spear radiated a sharp Divine Radiance, piercing through the mountain, the terrifying Thunder Power blasted the mountain apart instantly.
The golden figure intriguingly escaped, saying: "You are indeed fierce, but I am immortal, you can never kill me. As long as you remain in this Star Domain, I will eventually devour you."
"If you want to devour me, better cultivate for another thousand years or so!"
Ye Fan sneered, no one had ever dared to threaten him like this before, the blood-colored Jing Tian Divine Spear swept, masses of Star Sky Rats perished, under absolute strength, they were utterly vulnerable.
"Dare to kill my countless offspring, you are doomed, I will never let you go!"
The Golden Rat King once again manifested its true form, opened its mouth and inhaled, an appalling suction pulling Ye Fan towards its mouth.
"Hmph!"
Ye Fan gave a cold snort, directly burned his Divine Power and Divine Soul, his Combat Power surged rapidly, illusions of the Divine Race and Death Creatures reappeared, standing like guards by his side.
Then, he finally steadied himself, his hands drawing out mysterious and unfathomable Mystic Light, using the Ten Thousand Transformation Saint Technique to evolve an Immortal Stele.
"Buzz!"
A pitch-black Immortal Stele appeared in his palm, reaching ten thousand feet high, exuding a terrifying aura, on the front of the stele was a large "Immortal" character written in blood, emanating an overwhelming presence that seemed to tear the body apart.
"Go!"
Ye Fan almost desperately, wrapped the Thunder Power around the Immortal Stele, also attached a Xuan Ci Polar Light on it.
"Boom!"
The Immortal Stele descended from the sky, suppressing the Golden Rat King underneath, a gigantic sense of danger made it scream wildly, it smelled the scent of death.
This Immortal Stele could certainly suppress it to death, even with an Immortal Body it couldn’t withstand the power of the stele.
"No..."
Feeling its Life Force quickly depleting, the expression of the Golden Rat King suddenly changed, no longer being able to maintain composure, it summoned all its minions from the Ancient Star to launch an attack on Ye Fan.
However—
Ye Fan’s Eight Phase World Domain was the strongest defense, impossible to break; he sat cross-legged in the void, continuously casting Mystic Light, channeling his Thunder Power and Xuan Ci Polar Light, including the Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, all into the Immortal Stele.
"Buzz!"
The bloody "Immortal" character on the stele seemed to be activated, emanating an Emperor’s Might, grinding the body inch by inch.
"Ah... No..."
The Golden Rat King screamed in terror, even an Immortal Body was useless, under the Emperor’s Might, even a Quasi-Emperor could be suppressed by the Great Emperor with one hand, let alone it?
"I don’t want to die... spare me, I am willing to offer up everything to atone!"
The Golden Rat King felt its Life Force depleting rapidly, its Divine Soul becoming weaker, it screamed in terror, pleading for Ye Fan’s mercy.
"Tell me, is there an anciently passed down Transmission Altar on this Ancient Star? Where is it? How did you become stronger? What lies ahead?"
Ye Fan asked several questions in a row, while slowing his movements so it wouldn’t be suppressed before it answered.
"Yes, but I smashed it, not far from here in a canyon, I turned into this after consuming some flesh, I’ve never been ahead, don’t know what’s there. I’ve told you everything I know, can you spare me?"
The Golden Rat King said in horror.
"What? The altar was smashed by you? Then what use do I have for you?"
Ye Fan was furious, accelerating his movements, the Immortal Stele glowed brightly, slowly descending.
"Ah..."
The Golden Rat King’s body shattered inch by inch, turning into ashes, even its Divine Soul was annihilated, completely disappearing from this world!
