King of Despair

It didn't take a long time before Eagles joined up with the Gods. If the Eagles had different kind of members in age, the Gods only consisted of old men.

The Gods walked at the forefront, while the Eagles silently followed them. Their coalition disrupted the life in the desert as every lifeform quickly hid.

The grey haired old man looked at the leading figure, "Lightning Sovereign, there are no traps placed around a hundred kilometer radius."

Lightning Sovereign who looked old with his white hair nodded, "Talisman Creator, have you done the preparations?"

The grey haired old man slightly nodded. The silver haired old man split up from the Gods as he silently assimilated himself with the Eagles.

These three are the leaders of Gods. They have an unquestionable reputation and fame. Lightning Sovereign, Talisman Creator, and Sky Emperor. Such names echoed in every part of the cultivation world. Even children knew their name, much less an adult.

Nineteen people consisted the Gods, each possessing their own unique prowess. Nonetheless, despite their usual unrequited goals, they managed to put aside their misgivings with each other, just for the sleeping old man!

They proceeded steadily as they finally entered the forest. Each and every one of them furrowed their brows when they entered the vicinity.

The scent of blood lingered on the air unrestrainedly. Terrifying silence paired with the invisible heavy killing intent, everyone felt something tighten their hearts.

Lightning Sovereign frowned, rays of thunder emerging from his body. He waved his hands, bringing a torrential amount of aura that dispersed the thick scent of blood.

"Everyone, be careful!" His divine intent resounded in everyone's head.

They warily proceeded into the forest, their gaze scrutinizing even a spot of dirt for any anomaly.

As they neared the house in distance, the scent of blood thickened. Everyone took a long time before they emerged in the center of the forest.

There was a house in the middle of an empty green lush land. They all gazed at the corpse lingering around the house. These were the bodies from the Seven Commando Team.

Some stared at the corpse, while some stared at the old man who looked ordinary. This old man had his back against them, giving them no visual of the elder's appearance.

The old man sat before a flower pot, silently gazing at it. No one moved and attacked this old man. Even Lightning Sovereign just stood still.

The white haired old man glanced at the Talisman Creator who nodded his head. Lightning Emperor's eyes shone in brilliance as an unrestrained aura burst forth from his frail body.

Rumble! The sound of lightning resounded across a hundred kilometer of radius. The air retreated while the clouds give way for the moon to shine on the white haired old man.

Everything took only a few millisecond as the white haired old man vanished and reappeared beside the old man in the tattered house.

Punching with everything he got, Lightning Sovereign's killing intent leaked out, while the lightning jumping around his fist turned red.

Boom! His punch altered the landscape, destroying the west side of the forest alongside the tattered house.

Despite the power of his punch, Lightning Sovereign did not dare be confident. A shadow emerged from the huge smoke of dust created by the impact.

It was the old man who sat before the flower pot. Not giving the King of Despair any chance, ten members of Gods jumped and simultaneously attacked the old man.

Each of them sending their unique attacks, it landed in every direction, closing the King of Despair's escape route. The other members and Lightning Emperor jumped in and attacked the immobile old man.

The earth rumbled while the wind roared! Their attacks converged with King of Despair at the center. Not even a fly was spared, everything in their attack's scope was decimated.

Even then, not a single one of them dared to stop sending attacks on the center. They wanted to kill the King of Despair as fast as possible.

Shua! Shua! Countless golden lights lit up in the sky as it surrounded the place where the King of Despair was being attacked.

Talisman Creator stood at the center of the golden lights, while the Eagles surrounded him. A terrifying presence came from them.

"Sky Sealing Formation!" 'Bang!' The golden lights rapidly dropped from the sky, landing on where the King of Despair was trapped.

Not hesitating at all, the Talisman Creator controlled the formation as it burst forth with specks of golden lights. These golden lights turned into a huge phantom of a real golden dragon!

Rooarr! The golden dragon swiped down its two claws while its mouth erupted into a frightening dragon's roar.

Boooom! The forest that once existed, was instantly erased just from the residual energy of the simultaneous attack.

Just when the golden dragon finished its attack, the Talisman Creator felt something amiss. He quickly sent a transmission, "Everyone in the Sky Sealing Formation, use your full strength!"

The power of Eagles is not to be underestimated. With the lead of Talisman Creator, they managed to make full use of their strength.

Roarr! The golden dragon slithered across the air as it attacked again! This time, not just two claws, but four claws!

Bang! The earth cracked apart, forming a hundred meters' deep crater. Lightning Emperor sent down a flash of thunder from the sky that continuously struck down.

Talisman Creator observed everything, while the sense of uneasiness still lingered on his heart. 'All this time… He hadn't retaliated. Something-'

Before he even managed to finish his thoughts, he coughed up blood, "Not good! Everyone, brace yourselves! He will attack!"

The golden dragon in the sky was suddenly ripped apart into pieces. The Eagles did not manage to perceive anything before the golden dragon had already turned into specks of golden lights.

They all coughed up blood as a figure suddenly appeared before the Eagles. It was the old man who seemed harmless.

He indifferently flickered his finger as an invisible sword slash sliced every member of Eagles' head.

The Eagles! Completely annihilated!

The difference in strength is beyond a level. The old man stood on the sky as the corpses of the Eagles dropped the ground. Their heads all chopped off from their necks.

Every member of Gods had no fluctuation in their eyes. They had already predicted this to happen. Instead of watching, they all instantly surrounded the harmless looking old man.

The King of Despair was surrounded in all directions with attacks; south, north, west, east, above and below. There were no escape routes.

Bang! A powerful ripple spread out from the harmless old man's body. It pushed back the others, buying him time to distance himself.

He did not escape but instead, he looked at the members of Gods indifferently. Despite the wound on his chest, he stood like a spear, unmatched among all.

Suddenly, he vanished and reappeared beside a woman. It was a very beautiful woman that wielded ice as her power.

She quickly reacted and shielded herself with ice spears. But how could it block the harmless old man's attack?

Her ice spears were ruthlessly smashed, while a sword slash stabbed between her eyebrows. Everything didn't take a single second.

Ice Empress dead!

However, her sacrifice was not in vain. Just in time, two figures had managed to land a blow to the harmless old man.

Blood leaked out from the harmless old man's mouth as he hurriedly distanced himself from the others.

As he distanced himself however, a shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The shadow stabbed a dagger straight to King of Despair's heart.

The harmless old man tried to quickly dodge, but it was way too fast! He only was able to move slightly as the dagger pierced his chest.

Crack! The sound of bones breaking apart resounded across the perimeter.

The dagger stuck deep into his heart, while a blood gushed from his chest. The harmless old man's eyes turned bloodshot.

He was quickly losing blood!

The King of Despair stood at the encirclement of the Gods. His back bent a little because of his injuries, but his eyes remained bright.

No one knew what he was thinking but the members of Gods knew one thing. They couldn't spare any second. Kill!
