Chapter 92: Killing the Royal Clan

He had no intention of taking risks recklessly.

Thus, Heng Jin quietly stood his ground, silently awaiting his next opponent.

"With Brother Dao's abilities, there's surely a spot for you in this selection for the Qi Consumption Realm. We might even end up as fellow disciples in the future.

I am Zi Ye of the Zidian Royal Clan. May I ask for your name, Brother Dao?"

At this moment, the young royal who conceded turned to Heng Jin with a respectful bow.

"I am Heng Jin."

His reply was concise.

"So it's Brother Heng. Farewell then, I hope we can further our studies together at the War God Academy."

Zi Ye of the Zidian Royal Clan spoke, a flash of purple lightning glinting briefly in his eyes, exuding an overwhelming aura.

After all, the Zidian Clan houses beings of immortal caliber, and inheritors cultivated by such a force are naturally formidable.

If it weren't for the War God Academy being backed by the Immortal King Luo Mo, these young royals wouldn't consider joining any academy. Their own clans already offered extraordinary environments for cultivation.

"I hope so."

Heng Jin was unwilling to say more, merely nodding slightly.

In an instant, Zi Ye vanished in a flash of light, replaced by a towering figure with two heads.

Its massive form far exceeded that of humans.

This being, much like Zi Ye of the Zidian Royal Clan, hailed from another powerful royal lineage—the Gemini Royal Clan, boasting the formidable bloodline and astonishing talents of immortals.

"Human..."

Murmured the youth of the Gemini Royal Clan, both heads simultaneously alight with fierce intent, blood red as twin blood moons, with killing intent pervading the entire arena.

On the surface, Heng Jin remained unfazed, knowing this battle was inevitable.

On the way here, those occurrences were witnessed by very few, most were engrossed in their journey, unaware that he was more than a mere human.

Evidently, this youth from the Gemini Royal Clan was among them.

"Blood food!"

The Gemini Royal youth spoke coldly, his voice indifferent and cruel, with a hint of bloodthirst, perceiving Heng Jin purely as sustenance.

"Speaking of which, I've never slain a royal prodigy before, only the elites from mighty families. The descendants of immortals should, by rights, be far stronger than the offspring of supremes. I hope you won't disappoint me," Heng Jin remarked calmly.

These words made the Gemini Royal youth's expression grow even colder.

To him, humans were nothing more than the lowest, most menial slaves. Their clan even kept a group of them, leveraging the humans' prolific breeding to apply them in various ways.

The Gemini Royal youth especially delighted in feasting on humans, often instructing his servants to bring young humans for him to devour. During such times, those humans would be trembling violently, kneeling in terror, unable to resist as he tore and chewed.

Never has a human dared to defy his will, to resist his rule, for they know crossing him would doom another group of their kin to become mere food.

Now, what does he see? A human ant stands before him, speaking boldly of slaying him, the pride of the royal clans?

"Soon, you shall fall silent. Human squirm like you, I feast on ten a day and still hunger for more," the youth from the Gemini Royal Clan sneers, licking his lips with savage intent and eyes reflecting a cruel relish for such delectable fare.

Heng Jin grimaced slightly, envisioning the horrific scenes these words conjured.

Being human himself, the thought of someone dining on them daily sent a chill through him.

Yet Heng Jin understood, this realm was ruthless and real, where one's lack of strength meant one was nothing more than flesh for others.

"I hope your taste offers me a new sensation. Honestly, I've grown bored of the same old human meals every day," the Gemini Royal Youth remarked with an air of indifference as if discussing a mundane matter.

"Fine, but first, let me test how strong your teeth really are. Otherwise, my body of iron and steel might just shatter them into bits," Heng Jin retorted with a cold smile.

Without waiting for a reply, his powerful right leg stomped the ground, launching his entire being like an arrow toward the Gemini Royal Youth.

The air exploded around him, his formidable physical strength fully unleashed, surpassing the limits of what any Qi Consumption Realm being could achieve.

The noble offspring he'd dispatched earlier, descendants of the supreme, perished due to the immense gap in their strength compared to his own, spanning dimensions vast and insurmountable.

Even for the youth of royal lineage, the difference was evident and insurmountable by the naked eye.

Thus, as Heng Jin charged at light speed, the Gemini Royal Youth instantly sensed calamity, everything deviating drastically from his expectations.

In his subconscious, a mere human youth was but an ant to be crushed at will, standing against him through only sheer luck and chance of survival.

Yet, who knew such formidable speed would be exhibited by this human? He struggled even to track his movements.

Before he could react, two powerful fists aimed directly at the faces of his two heads, the fierce punch winds and spinning silver vortices twisting his facial muscles in grotesque agony.

His eyes widened in utter disbelief.

"Boom!"

Both heads took the impact simultaneously, the sounds blending crisply together.

Unsurprisingly, the Gemini Royal Youth was sent flying, blood splattering the arena, both of his proud fangs wrenched away, shattered, and shattered, with blood splattering everywhere in a pitiful sight.

Adding insult to injury, the owner of the fists continued to voice mockery.

"Tch, tch, tch, not so great, are they? Your teeth are as brittle as tofu, a light punch sends you scrabbling around for them," Heng Jin scoffed, arms crossed, shaking his head, a teasing grin on his face.

Such words and demeanor only fueled the Gemini Royal Youth's fury; never before had a human dared to so challenge and ridicule him.

Even though his head felt a bit dizzy, he couldn't pay attention to it. At this moment, he only wanted to make this arrogant human pay with blood.

"Roar! You're courting death!"

The Gemini Royal Youth shouted fiercely, as two bloodied heads radiated a dazzling light, akin to two suns.

"Originally, such a strike shouldn't be used by someone at the Qi Eating Realm as it would deplete my essence, which is detrimental to me. However, you, this ant, dare to challenge the majesty of my clan. Even if it affects my future, I must kill you."

He spoke coldly, his words tinged with arrogance because what he was about to unleash was the immortal ancestral technique that the Gemini Royals prided themselves on.

When the ancestral technique is unleashed, the sky collapses and the earth shatters, the sun and moon lose their light, and all enemies are slaughtered.

Heng Jin sneered, "Alright, bring it on. Show me what your so-called Ironhead Clan is capable of and let you die in understanding."

He really wasn't afraid of any immortal ancestral techniques. After all, his father was a true Immortal King, and this body was one of three, the "essence" body, supreme and sacred in terms of physical strength, with its soul refined in the yin-yang furnace to Immortal King's standards. He had no fear of mere royal clans unless a young member of the Imperial Clan came, then he would take them seriously.

Precisely, Heng Jin had never before witnessed an immortal-level ancestral technique from the foreign realm.

"Ironhead Clan?"

The Gemini Youth was furious. If these words had been uttered by an equally royal enemy, he would not have been so angry and distraught. But the fact was they came from a human, with full mockery.

Thus, he glared at Heng Jin with a cannibalistic gaze, his two bloody mouths beginning to chant incantations.

The Gemini Royals were one of the most suitable groups for practicing secret arts in the foreign realm, reputed to break all laws with their dual heads.

At this moment, the young Gemini Royal Youth was showcasing this trait completely.

An immense aura spread from this being, carrying a trace of the immortal energy.

"The radiant shines, cleansing original sin."

"Darkness eternal, desires boundless."

The Gemini, both heads reciting the secret words, light and darkness appeared simultaneously, two ancient arts blossomed, then collided.

This was the Song of Light and Dark, a set of opposing laws that echoed through the world, accompanied by destructive force, surging waves, stirring the arena in an instant.

"Power of light and darkness?"

Heng Jin's expression became serious as he sensed the greatness of this ancestral technique. It was not a single law but a set of opposing laws, akin to the sun against the moon. When opposing laws merge, the power is unimaginable.

"Hmm, your clan's ancestral technique is decent, worthy of me taking it a bit seriously." He assessed.

"You arrogant slaves of a race, blood food, just die." The Gemini Royal Youth was almost losing his mind with rage. At his age, he wasn't particularly mature mentally and needed more tempering. Heng Jin's words provoked him immensely, turning all four eyes red, somewhat hysterical.

"Boom!"

The curtain of light and darkness descended, mixed with innumerable terrifying symbols and whirlpools, the tearing force within enough to rend apart a Qi Eating Realm being of the royal clans.

Heng Jin's expression turned solemn, as his fists glowed, faint sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries emanated, growing in intensity, bursting forth with earth-shattering momentum.

He didn't know any exotic ancestral techniques. At present, he only mastered a modified secret art from the Four-Armed Clan, naturally unable to match the immortal ancestral arts of the royal youth. To duel techniques would be nothing short of digging his own grave.

The only advantage he had was his physical body, a resource he would naturally rely on.

When the power of the body is strong enough, it can break a thousand techniques with sheer force.

At this moment, he unleashed the latent power of the true dragon and true phoenix within his body, which mingled with his fist's radiance. This punch, akin to the harmonious dance of dragon and phoenix, was unimaginable, unstoppable.

"Roar!"

A phantom of the true dragon emerged, its gaze ruthless, its scales cold, its body formidable—vividly lifelike, as if a real entity.

The true phoenix's phantom also manifested beside the dragon, with crimson feathers ablaze like a roaring fire, burning sun, moon, and stars, leaving the universe and all within a charred wasteland.

The simultaneous appearance of the true dragon and true phoenix not only exhibited an unparalleled ancient and modern dominance but also provided boundless blood energy to his fist's brilliance, making him unstoppable, invincible.

Even the Gemini Royal Youth, who was losing his sanity, was awed by this overwhelming fist's radiance, regaining his senses.

But it was too late. The dazzling brilliance of the fist swallowed everything. Concepts of light and dark judgment, symbols, and vortices all paled in comparison, unable to compete with the dragon and phoenix's splendor.

"You..."

The Gemini Royal Youth began to speak, only managing a single word before being engulfed by the fist's brilliance.

"Ah!"

Subsequently, a sharp cry echoed, followed by a headless corpse being hurled out, crashing heavily onto the arena floor.

A prodigious twin-born youth deemed bound to secure a spot in the "Breath Realm" of the War God Academy, met his end during the selection process.

Heng Jin, his face expressionless, glanced at the headless corpse, muttering indifferently, "Your head was tough, but my fist was tougher."

...

Outside, upon learning of the death of their family's prodigy, the Gemini Royal Clan's strongmen cradled the headless body, overcome with grief and anger, unable to restrain a skyward howl.

The surrounding beings were too shocked to speak. The War God Academy's selections hadn't seen a case of a royal prodigy dying in countless years, yet today such an event transpired.

"The Gemini Royal Clan... this clan's prodigies have always been dominant, frequently earning the academy's 'War God' title, never before suffering defeat so early in the selection phase. This is a first."

"What's most terrifying is, just how formidable was the opponent that the Gemini Royal prodigy couldn't even utter 'I concede'?" someone questioned, scrutinizing the marginal bubble world.

"I recall that human youth being within this bubble world. Could it be him?"

"How could that be possible? Just a mere human."

"Who says it's impossible? Earlier on the way, several predecessors of the Escape One Realm praised his talent. You weren't present to hear it."

"What? Is that true? Could this human really be that powerful?"

...

The sounds of chaos reached the ears of the Gemini Clan's stronghold, and the mighty warrior glanced at the bubble world, his eyes filled with vicious intent.

However, the next moment, an overwhelming aura descended, crushing him to the point of breathlessness.

"If your skills are inferior, what else is there to say? Do you intend to bully the weak?"

"This is the War God Academy, not a place for you to run wild. Even if your ancestor came, he would have to act respectfully and follow the rules here." A cold voice rang out, sending chills down the spine of the Gemini Clan warrior.

He calmed himself slightly, then clasped his hands in apology, "I beg your pardon, esteemed elder of the War God Academy. It was presumptuous of me."

"Hmph, leave now. This human youth will soon be beyond your reach. Don't sacrifice an entire clan for a dead man."

Hearing these words, the Gemini Clan warrior's heart shuddered. A human capable of killing their royal prodigy undoubtedly possessed world-shaking talent. At the War God Academy, as long as someone had talent and strength, they commanded attention and may even connect with the eminent Luo Mo Clan.

If this were truly the case, then this human youth was indeed someone they couldn't afford to provoke.

"Thank you for the warning, elder."

After expressing his gratitude, he hurriedly left with the body of the young clan member, eager to report the matter to the higher-ups.

As the Gemini Clan warrior departed, the surrounding exotic beings engaged in fervent discussion.

They had clearly heard the War God Academy's expert openly acknowledge that it was a human youth who had slain the royal prodigy.

Though it seemed unbelievable, it was an undeniable fact.

Those who had previously mocked humans as an inferior, enslaved race ceased such talk, abruptly changing their tune to tones of admiration.

"To kill a royal prodigy so decisively without allowing them to even concede defeat, such strength is truly terrifying.

If I recall correctly, that human youth hasn't even mastered the full essence of the Qi Absorption realm, whereas the Gemini royal's youth had genuinely reached the pinnacle of Qi Absorption."

"My heavens, such formidable combat ability might already rival the youth of the Imperial Clan," someone remarked in awe.

"Not necessarily. I still believe he cannot compare to the young lords of the Imperial Clan.

History shows that once the young lords of the Imperial Clan emerge, they are invincible under the heavens, unmatched by any opponent."

"Even so, he's very close. Otherwise, who could overcome a royal in such a disadvantageous realm?"

...

Outside the bubble world, the emergence of Heng Jin caused a sensation, with everyone discussing him. Not only the young but also veteran warriors and supremes evaluated him, unanimously predicting that this human youth would rise like a comet, potentially reaching the pinnacle of immortality.

To kill a royal, an achievement that seemed like fantasy to most present, was accomplished by this human youth.

In the bubble world, under the gaze of an elder from the War God Academy, he smiled gently and murmured to himself, "This kid is certainly ruthless; aside from the royal youth who surrendered, he left no survivors. No wonder he asked that earlier."

Suddenly, his expression changed, as his eyes widened in surprise at the mirror in his hand, reflecting the multitude of arena battles within the bubble world.
