Chapter 1047: The Terrifying Shiye King

Boom!

Although the alien's strength was fierce, the orb was not weak either, seemingly trying to break free from control. It suddenly rotated, and the two immediately saw a deep blue light flash across it, shooting straight into the sky, followed by a violent roar as thunder and lightning raged all around.

It was as if the thunder and lightning in the sky were controlled by this orb.

Controlling thunder and lightning... Could this be the Thunder Yuan Pearl?

His pupils contracted, and Feng Xun couldn't help but transmit his voice.

Thunder Yuan Pearl?

Zhang Xuan frowned.

Having read through the books of the Master Teacher Academy, he knew the names of countless treasures and could be considered well-informed, but he had never heard of this Thunder Yuan Pearl.

It is a thunder-attribute magic treasure, similar to how spirit stones contain spiritual energy, it holds a vast amount of thunder yuan. Once released, it possesses earth-shattering power, extremely terrifying.

A look of disbelief appeared on his face, and Feng Xun continued, "This thing can only be born in places where thunder and lightning gather most densely. Its rarity is comparable to a nine-star master teacher, a legendary treasure. How could it appear here?"

So precious?

Zhang Xuan was astonished.

Although he had never heard of this Thunder Yuan Pearl, he knew the rarity of a nine-star master teacher—there might not even be a few in the entire continent...

Such rarity was truly extraordinary.

Containing thunder and lightning is one thing, but the most crucial point is that it can serve as the core of a thunder-attribute formation!" Feng Xun continued. "Similar to the function of a formation plate, once refined, it means mastering the great formation, able to unleash astonishing power!"

Could this Thunder Sea be a great formation?" Zhang Xuan's expression changed.

It definitely is, and at least at the eighth level. Without anyone controlling it, it's already this formidable. Once refined and fully controlled... even if we both have the strength of a Wu master, we wouldn't be able to resist!" Feng Xun's face turned pale.

This..." Zhang Xuan tensed up.

Having traveled through the Thunder Sea, he knew the terror of this formation. If not for his Wu soul, he wouldn't even have been able to enter.

This was without anyone controlling it. Once someone took control, the power and attack directions of the thunder would have no flaws... It would be unstoppable, trapping anyone inside with no way out.

The sudden increase in thunder earlier must have been caused by this guy trying to refine the Thunder Yuan Pearl, triggering the formation's disturbance...

Knowing the terror of this thing, Zhang Xuan understood.

The Thunder Yuan Pearl had the ability to control the thunder formation. This guy touched it with his true qi, causing the Thunder Sea to become even more violent, nearly killing everyone.

Just touching it was this terrifying; actually controlling it would be unimaginable.

His expression grim, he quietly communicated with Ziye King in the Thousand Ant Hive and quickly received a clear answer. The tall alien before him was indeed the fourth-ranked Shiye King among the Upper Five Kings.

No wonder he dared to touch and try to refine such a powerful treasure as the Thunder Yuan Pearl.

We must stop him; otherwise, it will be even harder to deal with him later...

Feng Xun clenched his fists.

He had witnessed Shiye King's battle with Wu master earlier. His strength was extremely high, and even at his peak, he was no match. Once Shiye King refined the Thunder Yuan Pearl, he would be even more unstoppable.

If they met again then, everyone might die here.

Right, he hasn't succeeded yet. If we think of something, maybe we can still make it in time!" Understanding his concern, Zhang Xuan transmitted his voice.

Mm!" Feng Xun's expression was grave. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Thunder Yuan Pearl in front rotate again, emitting a warm glow. Shiye King's eyes lit up, and he reached out with his hand, grabbing fiercely.

Whoosh!

The blue-glowing orb slowly flew toward him.

It's too late! Move now!

Seeing this, Feng Xun could no longer hold back. With a flick of his wrist, a long sword appeared in his palm, and he transformed into a streak of sword light, stabbing straight at Shiye King's back.

It seemed the Thunder Yuan Pearl was almost refined. Once it fell into his hand, he would wield infinite thunder power, and there would be no turning back.

Wait..." Seeing that the other had charged in without discussing strategy, Zhang Xuan shouted anxiously and followed closely.

Although the opponent refining the Thunder Yuan Pearl was terrifying, if they searched carefully, there might still be loopholes to exploit. Used well, they might still win, but charging in directly... would only be more dangerous.

Boom!

Feng Xun, worthy of being a thousand-man commander of the War Master Hall, struck with his sword, merging man and sword into one, like a meteor breaking through the air. Even a Saint Domain Four-realm peak expert would have to avoid his锋芒 and not dare to face him head-on.

Oh? Still alive?

While refining the Thunder Yuan Pearl, he sensed a strong killing intent. Shiye King turned abruptly, recognized Feng Xun's face, and raised an eyebrow. "There are roads in heaven you don't take; there are no doors in hell you barge in. Get down here!"

With that, he didn't dodge. One hand continued refining the Thunder Yuan Pearl, while the other hand chopped forward.

Boom!

A thick wave of air surged forth, colliding with Feng Xun's sword light. The latter shattered inch by inch like a porcelain bowl hit by a hammer.

Bang!

The remaining force struck Feng Xun's chest, sending him flying backward. He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The gap in strength was too great; he was knocked away with a single move.

So strong!" Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted.

He had seen six of the Ten Kings, and almost all had died by his hand. Although they were all Saint Domain Four-realm experts, compared to this one, they were on a completely different level.

No wonder he was ranked fourth among the Upper Five Kings, making Ziye King tremble at the mere mention of his name. He was indeed terrifyingly powerful.

But no matter how strong, he had to fight.

Gripping the Ice Rain Sword in his palm, he traced a semicircle in the air and, like Feng Xun, stabbed forward.

However... he wasn't attacking Shiye King not far away, but the Thunder Yuan Pearl in front of him.

The most important thing now was to prevent the opponent from refining this treasure. Attacking him would give him time to counter, but catching him off guard might succeed.

Whoosh!

This strike used all his strength. His internal true qi boiled like water, combined with the power of his body and soul, cutting through the air with a sobbing sound, as if about to tear space itself.

This should be the most powerful attack he had ever executed with his sword technique, no weaker than Feng Xun's earlier strike.

Courting death!

Seeing his intention, Shiye King narrowed his eyes. Without any extra movement, he extended two fingers and flicked lightly.

Bang!

Feeling a shock in his hand, Zhang Xuan could no longer hold the Ice Rain Sword. It flew backward and embedded itself in a wall not far away. Like Feng Xun, he spat blood, forced a mid-air turn, slapped the ground with his hand, and barely managed to stabilize himself.

His eyes were full of shock.

This guy's strength was even more terrifying than imagined. He had used all his power, yet couldn't even block one of his fingers.

Without advancing further, he quickly flipped through the books in his mind.

In the previous battle, he had forced the opponent to use his martial techniques, and now there was an introduction about him.

Shiye King, one of the Ten Kings of Qingtian, a member of the Upper Five Kings, cultivation at Saint Domain Four-realm peak, invincible defense... Weaknesses: First, insufficient true qi at the glabella when circulating his technique; second, softness under the armpits, where power cannot reach...

After quickly reading through the book, Zhang Xuan's expression turned even grimmer instead of brightening.

The book formed by the Library of Heaven's Path did record his weaknesses, but the glabella and armpits... these were the most heavily defended areas, and he had to get close to attack. He couldn't even get within two zhang of the opponent before being easily repelled. Knowing these weaknesses was useless!

Boom!

While he was watching, he heard a roar. Shiye King not far away struck down with another palm.

The thick palm print covered dozens of meters, enveloping both him and Feng Xun. Before it even reached them, the immense pressure made it hard to breathe and impossible to resist.

Oh no!

Knowing he couldn't withstand it, he stamped his foot, activated the Heaven's Path Movement Technique, and flew straight outward.

Bang!

Before he could escape the range of the palm print, he felt a tremendous force slam into his back. He spat blood again, crashing through seven or eight walls before stopping.

Struggling to stand, Zhang Xuan's eyes were full of horror.

Fortunately, his physical body had just improved; otherwise, this blow would have either killed him or left him severely injured!

Although he had cultivated the Fengsheng Jie and made great progress recently, compared to a true Saint Domain Four-realm peak expert, he was still far too weak, not even on the same level—completely incomparable.

Where's Feng Xun?

He quickly looked around and saw Feng Xun lying not far away, equally disheveled, his face pale, blood staining the front of his clothes.

Clearly, his injuries were even heavier than Zhang Xuan's.

Although his strength was higher than Zhang Xuan's, his escape skills were clearly inferior. Most of the palm strike had been taken head-on. If not for being a war master with a physical body, true qi, and soul far surpassing ordinary master teachers, he might already be dead.

Even so, his whole body was limp, several bones were broken, and he couldn't move.

Die, all of you!

Continuing to refine the Thunder Yuan Pearl, Shiye King sneered and struck again with his other hand.

His movement was light, seemingly without power, but Zhang Xuan knew that if hit, he would surely die. His expression changed in fright, and he turned, rushing toward Feng Xun.

The other had come with him; he couldn't watch him die before his eyes.

Whoosh!

The Heaven's Path Movement Technique was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he reached Feng Xun, grabbed him with his hand, and was about to retreat hastily when he realized it was too late—Shiye King's palm print was already descending on his head.

Ruthless man!

He cried out inwardly, and a dense, pure killing aura surged forward.

Although the killing aura had little effect on aliens, the sudden disturbance could still delay them for a moment.

Indeed, feeling such a powerful killing aura from the young man before him, Shiye King was shocked, and the power in his palm slowed slightly.

Whoosh!

Seizing the brief opening, he grabbed Feng Xun and escaped the range of the palm print.
