Chapter 1918 - 1732: Yu Zhou Storm Rises
Rumble——
Aben suddenly drove the Star Nest, and the speed increased once again.
"She has discovered it, interesting, but don’t think you can escape in front of me."
Jialuo God King sneered coldly and then unleashed a divine power. The Wusheng Banner suddenly shone with light, its speed also increased once again, chasing after with lightning speed.
At the same time, the Jialuo God King shouted loudly, "You don’t need to run away. As long as you hand over the Combat Saint King, I can allow you to leave safely, and I will not break my word."
Naturally, Aben wouldn’t listen, and she transformed into a human form, appearing on the Star Nest. Her gentle hands traced out infinitely mysterious tracks of the Dao, abruptly stirring this endless space turbulence into a terrifying space storm, sweeping over with great momentum.
Moreover, this space storm was unprecedented, being invoked by such a super great power-level expert, covering millions of miles around, incredibly violent, enough to annihilate great powers, making all the great powers in pursuit behind shudder with fright.
"Hmph, petty tricks!"
Jialuo God King directly executed the Seventh Slash from the Ten Layers of God King Slash, a dazzling light cleaved through, and immediately split the endless space storm into two halves, revealing a broad Space Dao from within.
However, Aben had no intention of lingering in battle, she hurriedly communicated with the Chaos Tripod Divine Platform, awakening it from its profound slumber, allowing it to temporarily wield the physical body of the Combat Saint King, summoning a Void Shuttling Treasure—the Void Divine Platform!
As soon as this treasure appeared, Aben immediately put away the Star Nest and stepped onto the Void Divine Platform, with a swish, her speed accelerated by a large margin, not at all slower than the Wusheng Banner.
Jialuo God King intended to continue the chase, but Aben kept making moves ahead, disturbing the endless space turbulence, forming terrible, boundless space storms that swept in all directions. Even if they couldn’t completely block them, they could greatly hinder their progress, slowing them down substantially.
The distance that had been closing quickly was once again widened.
In the end, the other’s figure vanished from view, and if it weren’t for the sensing of divine sense, it would be impossible to locate Aben’s presence.
This chase continued for a day and a night until Aben had completely moved away from this region.
"Damn it!"
Jialuo God King angrily flicked his sleeves, yet there was nothing he could do. Even with the Eight Diagram Compass condensed from the power of faith, he was reluctant to use it at every moment, as the immense consumption of faith power over the day and night was enough to cause him immense heartache.
"Lord Jialuo, what should we do?"
The seven great powers all looked at him.
"What else can we do!" Jialuo God King snorted coldly, his expression very unpleasant, "The opponent is also a super great power, and possesses a Void Dao treasure, do you think we can catch up?"
The several great powers exchanged helpless glances, even a super great power like the Jialuo God King couldn’t manage, so they were definitely unable to as well.
Only their expressions turned gloomy, for offending the Combat Saint King this time, if someday he awoke, given the opponent’s powerful nature, revenge at any cost was likely, and that was the biggest trouble.
Facing the revenge of a Chaos Young Supreme not at all weaker than a super great power, it was troubling not just for them, even a super great power like the Jialuo God King might feel some headache.
"Hmph."
Even though Jialuo God King was unwilling to admit concern over the Combat Saint King’s threat, deep in his heart he had to acknowledge the opponent’s incredible destiny-defying prowess. The opponent was merely a young junior with hundreds of years of cultivation, already so powerful, with immeasurable potential for growth. In the future, if he continued developing, he might not be inferior to the nine great super overlords who dominated the Ultimate Ancient Road.
Precisely because of this, he was unwilling to let the Combat Saint King continue living, otherwise, he would certainly be a great threat in the future.
"Hmph, although I couldn’t obtain the Emperor Body, nor his Chaos Seal or the Chaos Tripod, it was indeed a missed opportunity."
"Whatever, regardless, he cannot be left to live, or else he will become a disaster in the future."
"Combat Saint King, though you have a loyal super great power-level servant to protect the master, countless people across the Great Universe have their sights set on you, and even several Ancient Monarchs. Once the news is spread, I want to see how long you can continue to escape!"
Decisively, Jialuo God King instructed several great powers to spread the news of the Combat Saint King being alive and to release the relevant coordinates.
They were all great powers, knew many strong individuals within the Great Universe, and each had powerful great sect Daoists under their command. With intentional guidance, the news of the Combat Saint King being alive and its relevant information swiftly spread, reaching half the universe in a matter of days.
Without a doubt, the entire Great Universe was stirred into a massive storm!
Originally, various major forces and strong individuals who had somewhat given up after failing to track down the Combat Saint King for three years were suddenly shocked.
"Is there news of the Combat Saint King?"
"Is it true or false?"
"Jialuo God King and Yangchuan, along with several Great Powers, discovered this, and they crossed paths with the Alien Species Insect Queen under the banner of the Combat Saint King. They’ve even seen the silhouette of the Combat Saint King and the Chaos Tripod, confirming the accuracy of the information."
"What? Wasn’t the Combat Saint King long gone? It’s rumored that he was slain by some Ancient Monarch, who then monopolized the Emperor’s Body."
"Those are merely myths passed down through time, never confirmed. Furthermore, Jialuo God King is such a prominent figure; how would he spread unnecessary lies? And know this: the Ancient Monarchs are closely monitoring this, even he wouldn’t dare deceive such cosmic dominators."
"Where’s the landmark? Cosmic Frontier?"
"Hidden for a full three years, this Combat Saint King is indeed formidable, able to disappear under the watchful eyes of countless forces throughout the Great Universe, including the Emperor Clans and Ancient Monarchs."
"After all, he’s from the Combat Saint Lineage, famously known as the second Wuxiang King, and also a Chaos Young Supreme, spouse of the Ancient Road Dominator Goddess. Naturally, he possesses some astonishing means."
"What a pity, originally the Combat Saint King could have returned to the Ultimate Ancient Road and most likely remained unscathed, but now it seems unlikely."
"Ha, though the Ultimate Ancient Road can’t be interfered with and has the Invincible One named Cang Xiong from the Mythical Era guarding it, who once contended with the Wuxiang King, it’s restricted to the Ultimate Ancient Road. Outside of it, the Combat Saint King is presumably still in great danger."
"That’s an Emperor Body, nurturing the Emperor’s Foundation. Back in the day, even three Ancient Monarchs perished, the Primordial Emperor Clan was entirely annihilated, and only a Primordial Emperor’s son and their Time Emperor Sword escaped. Additionally, the Emperor Body obtained by the Combat Saint King is substantial, occupying one-seventh of the whole. Some Ancient Monarchs paid the price yet never obtained it; now how could they relinquish the Combat Saint King as such a coveted prize?"
"Watch, the Combat Saint King is in big trouble."
"I have a premonition that the currently calm Great Universe will now be stirred up into a massive storm; the Combat Saint King is truly a celestial solitary star, or all members of the Combat Saint Lineage are such, with the world as their enemy."
The entire Great Universe was now in an uproar, discussions everywhere revolving around the Combat Saint King.
Many sighed over the Combat Saint King’s fate, clearly such a monstrous Chaos Young Supreme, destined for boundless glory, reigning over the Ancient Road, unmatched.
Like the nine great dominators of the Ultimate Ancient Road, each one resplendent in their glory, where beneath kings they were invincible, where all Great Powers approached in awe and submission. Only the Combat Saint King seemed to naturally commit a grave taboo, always with countless enemies emerging, each more terrifying than the last.
Even Ancient Monarchs have taken notice.
Or perhaps all the Combat Saint Lineage members are like this throughout history, those who tread the Ultimate Ancient Road always followed this path.
Especially the Wuxiang King, eternally as such, with the world against him, yet he killed them into silence, searching the Ancient Road unable to find a rival, dominating an era, leaving an endless illustrious legacy.
Now the Combat Saint King clearly walks the same path as the former Wuxiang King.
Far in the depths of the universe, a grand and dark Ancient Divine Palace, seemingly eternal, concealed in perpetual darkness, exuding overwhelming pressure that terrifies any Great Power witnessing it.
It is indeed the Forbidden Soul Palace!
Moreover, it’s one of the few Heavenly Halls within the Forbidden Soul Palace, serving as the main hall.
The Heavenly Hall is usually shrouded in swirling black mist, faintly revealing thick chains circling it, heavily guarded.
At this moment, within the expansive and dim hall, a Great Power from the Forbidden Soul Palace appeared, bowing respectfully toward the towering Divine Throne of the Heavenly Hall, reverently saying, "Reporting to the Three Hall Masters, there’s news of the Combat Saint King!"
On the Divine Throne of the Heavenly Hall, lay the seats of the true masters of the Forbidden Soul Palace, the Heavenly Palace Masters. It’s usually enveloped in black mist, rarely allowing a glimpse of the Three Hall Masters’ true visage, only the boundless Heavenly Might remains.
But at this moment, it manifested, a pair of eyes glaring from the black mist, locking onto the Great Power below, instantly making the Forbidden Soul Palace’s Great Power feel as though they’re enduring the crushing weight of an entire Star Domain, heart racing, as if their form and spirit were about to shatter.
"Speak!"
An ancient syllable echoed, originating from an old language, its meaning discernible through the fluctuation of Divine Thought, carrying an aura of noble authority, irrefutable.
The supreme Hall Master spoke, the Forbidden Soul Palace’s Great Power naturally dared not procrastinate, revealing all the information gathered from the outside.
"What a remarkable Combat Saint King, who fled back then, unexpectedly reaching the Cosmic Frontier, truly beyond everyone’s expectations, no wonder the major forces of the universe searched for several years without finding him; so that’s why."
"Nonetheless, that Reincarnation Six Paths Coffin once buried such a peerless being as the Wuxiang King, capable of annihilating all Qi Mechanisms; even the Ancient Monarchs couldn’t deduce its presence, which is understandable."
"Additionally, being a Chaos Cultivator himself, the Chaos equally eradicates everything!"
"He carries the Emperor’s Body, and when the Ancient Monarchs personally embarked, they couldn’t locate him; however, rumor has it he suffered severe injuries that wouldn’t heal for decades or centuries, and the Emperor’s Body couldn’t have been refined by him, implying it should still be with him; now is a prime opportunity for contention."
"What was left on the Fiftieth Pass is now ready to be seized together!"
That day, the Forbidden Soul Palace mobilized, all its Great Powers appeared, furthermore, King-level Hall Masters manifested to the mortal realm...
