Hostile Encounter

A booming roar quaked from the destruction creature. Horrifying destruction essence surged to its right side like a rising tide of annihilation.

The gray destruction mist heavily condenses. The power of terrifying destruction rippled out. With only but seconds, a hasty destruction essence barrier could form.

But just this wasn't enough.

'Bang!'

The vanishing lightning radiance erupted with unfathomable power. Ear-piercing explosions rumbled the royal room. Violent streaks of lightning radiance tore all over with a ferocious might.

The supreme generated force directly shattered the destruction essence barrier to complete bits and sent the destruction creature smashing to the ground!

Despite being in the same realm, the destruction creature was suppressed with just one strike from Elder Biao!

Evidently, Elder Biao's half-step Heavenly King prowess couldn't be counted by normal means.

The very moment the destruction creature smashed into the ground, Azure Duan slammed his palms on the ground.

Surging lightning radiance with a force of a mighty mountain whirled from Azure Duan palms. Lightning radiance instantly engulfed the ground. It spread at light speeds, covering right where the destruction creature laid.

"Geh!"

A strange, alien-like noise sounded from the destruction creature. It instantly shot to its feet. Tingling feelings tried surging from its feet.

These tingling feelings weren't anything to take lightly. Just a single strand of radiance would shred apart even peak 1st layer Heavenly Ruler experts!

But to the destruction creature, it was a mere annoyance. Nothing to be a concern. Far too pitiful to be counted as anything else.

The destruction creature killing intent stayed locked onto Elder Biao. Deep grayish light streaked into its bear-like palms.

Horrifying sensations continually rippled. Getting just close to the grayish lights would crush even late layer Heavenly Rulers to ashes!

In the hands of the destruction creature, the surrounding destruction essence exerted tremendous power!

Anything the destruction essence just slightly touches would instantly crumble to dust.

However, right as the destruction creature surged its power, a greater sensation of death flashed right in front of its face!

Blinding rays of lightning radiance streaked. The invisible lightning strike of Elder Biao's was inches away from the destruction creature.

And this time, its power was crazily amplified.

The unimportant lightning field tickling the destruction creature's feet began flying off the ground into Elder Biao's now visible lightning strike.

This was a seamless combination. A mixture of Heavenly Ruler power and the Primary Lightning Law radiance.

Both forces mutated into an extremely vast source of power. The generated force multiplied, increasing to a standard absolutely terrifying for an Heavenly Ruler.

The whole room was drowned out by the fusion of lightning radiance. Every crackling boom was the bell of death!

The destruction creature violently roared out. Every strand of destruction essence instantly gathered in front of its face.

The gray light's convergence was highly volatile. Every ounce of destruction power burst out of the gray creature.

This destruction power would be able to heavily distort the fragments of space. A sliver of energy could shatter other Profound Laws to dust. This was also powerful enough to frighten other half-step Heavenly King experts.

But, against a true lightning radiance fusion, it was useless!

With a thunderous boom, streaks of lightning radiance overwhelmed the world!

Chaotic winds from energy shockwaves slashed apart the royal room. Large chucks of stones were carved out and huge craters broke open on the ground.

Seconds later and the violent aftermath gradually dissipated.

Out of the energy storm, there wasn't any sign of the destruction creature. Its enormous body was grounded into tiny particles of gray light!

Calm smiles curled Elder Biao and Azure Duan's lips. This wasn't an achievement for them. Crushing a half-step Heavenly King only came naturally to them.

Casually walking, Azure Duan lightly said, "This environment is highly more potent to cultivate in. Our results should be several times faster than before."

Elder Biao lightly nodded. "Mn. Let's not waste time now. There is still...still...?"

Suddenly Elder Biao's expression turned strange. So did Azure Duan. The duo shot their gazes back at the entrance.

Reaching their level in the inheritance ground requires power high in the Heavenly Ruler realm.

Elders can at least make it to their levels, but while sustaining severe injuries. But the only reason an elder would come so far would because of an promising youth.

And so far, no other genius besides Azure Duan reached a point where it was worth traveling far in.

Thus, Elder Biao and Azure Duan were completely confused.

Just what kind of fool was going this far? Did they not know this place was already occupied?

Before questions could grow, streaks of luminous red-blue light filled the entranceway.

Two light rays flashed out and revealed, surprisingly enough, two mysterious Heavenly Origin experts!

'The hell?'

Azure Duan and Elder Biao narrowed their eyes. Their Heavenly Ruler Divine Senses, one that penetrated through miles and buildings with powerful formations, weren't able to penetrate through a fog of aura.

Everything came from the young man standing next to the young woman. His Heavenly Aura hadn't yet reached the peak layer. And yet, his attainments of Profound Laws were truly mystical!

He commanded Profound Laws at a terrifyingly deep level. A level only geniuses can possibly grasp.

But beyond all of the mysteriousness, these two wore the robes of the Sacred Emperor Mansion!

Both Elder Biao and Azure Duan felt their killing intent intensely stimulated. Neither of them would be kind to a rival. Sometimes, the Sacred Emperor Mansion even verges on being a hated enemy.

Azure Duan had an aggressive stride. His arm crossed, he bluntly said, "Sacred Emperor Mansion? What the hell are two mere Heavenly Origin realm ants doing so far here? Is it really worth it to use so many talismans and artifacts to barely crawl your way over here?"

Elder Biao similarly held the utmost disdain. "You two merely have a few seconds to explain yourselves. Fail to do so, then don't blame us for what will happen. You only have yourselves to blame for overreaching."

Their momentum was absolutely supreme. Two extreme heavenly beings that stood above the mortal world.

Ripples of their Profound Laws smashed into the atmosphere. Their terrifying combination created a serenity of horrifying dread. Death would be at the nape of anyone's neck.

Naturally, neither Azure Duan nor Elder Biao was worried about these two talismans or artifacts treasures. They have their own overpowering weapons. No matter what these minor attacks take out, destroying it and them would be as simple as a flip of their palms.

It was only natural that Azure Duan and Elder Biao became intensely hostile. Killing between top-tier sects was always a common occurrence no matter where one goes in the world of cultivation. Rarely would one hesitate to get rid of their hated enemy.

Both Azure Duan and Elder Biao believed just a strand of their Profound Laws can smash these minor ants to bits and pieces!

Against such an overwhelming bearing, neither Lin Xiang nor Xie Ya changed their expressions. In fact, their clothes and hair didn't even flap. Nothing about the atmospheric pressure could noticeably affect them.

Lin Xiang calmly smiled, his tone just casually regarding the duo. He could identify the young man with a glance. "So, you're the number genius of this city? Azure Duan, right? To think you're actually in the Heavenly Ruler realm by now. A commendable talent."

Xie Ya began to lightly giggle. "This kind of talent does indeed put him in the league to be so overbearing. He would even have some fame back in my sect."

"The fuck?" Azure Duan's eyes gleamed a terrifying cold. His gaze could pierce through the ice and freeze over fire at this moment. "Did you not hear what we say? Are you two brain-damaged?"

"Does it matter what we're doing here? You two would've tried to kill us at the slightest offense. Your hatred is practically flowing out of your eyes." Lin Xiang calmly replied.

In that moment, Azure Duan and Elder Bia got rid of any and all inhibitions. Their eyes gleamed with cold glints. They already marked these arrogant fools for death.
