Overwhelming a King, His Fame Shakes Northern Cang!

"What's your name?"

Not far away,

King Zhou Ling frowned slightly at the sight.

"Northern Spirit Territory, Qing Luo!"

Qing Luo replied lazily.

Qing Luo's almost provocative attitude made Zhou Ling's expression turn extremely ugly.

He was a King of the Spirit Road.

That guy...

"To kill a Spirit Soul Early Stage expert with one punch—even I have to admit that you're strong!"

"But if I let you leave just like this, I won't be able to answer to them. That would put me in a difficult position!"

Zhou Ling raised his brows and threatened him.

"A difficult position? Then don't do it!"

Qing Luo said with a curl of his lips.

The next moment, spiritual energy surged from his Whole Body.

Purple Qi rose beneath Qing Luo's feet as he strode with the gait of a dragon and tiger, sweeping sideways toward Zhou Ling.

Qing Luo's decisiveness

left Zhou Ling momentarily stunned. He had not expected the other party to be so arrogant.

He was attacking him the moment they disagreed...

Whoosh—

"Damn it!"

"He dared disrespect King Zhou? Kill him!"

"Where did this trash come from? How dare he run wild in the Northern Cang Realm? Does he really think killing one Spirit Soul Realm cultivator makes him invincible?"

Zhou Ling flicked his wrist.

The two Seed Students attached to his side, along with nearly a hundred ordinary students,

moved in an instant.

Their gathered spiritual energy swept forth like raging waves, Shrouding the Heavens as it crashed down upon Qing Luo.

At the sight of this,

a trace of proud confidence emerged in Zhou Ling's eyes.

From beginning to end,

he had not even moved a step, yet he could easily decide the life and death of someone with a Seed Quota...

This was the influence of a Spirit Road King.

This was the superiority of a Core Quota!

Hmph—

Kirin Fist!

Sensing the endless spiritual energy converging like a tidal wave, Qing Luo snorted coldly.

He immediately activated the Kirin Treasure Technique.

As he unleashed it, his fist wind surged mightily, terrifying beyond measure.

A Purple Kirin with a dragon's head and deer antlers emerged. It roared along with the technique, stirring the majestic might of heaven as though some great terror was descending!

Rumble—

The Kirin Fist collided with the boiling sea of spiritual energy.

Thunderous roars echoed across the sky as the tyrannical fist intent swept through everything!

Pfft—

Blood rained from the sky.

Those Seed Students who had intended to overwhelm Qing Luo with their numbers,

along with nearly a hundred ordinary students, all turned pale as paper and flew backward through the air.

They slammed viciously onto the Thousand-Foot Platform.

"Spirit Soul Peak Realm..."

After sensing Qing Luo's Spirit Soul Peak Realm strength,

even Zhou Ling found the situation somewhat troublesome...

To kill two Spirit Soul Early Stage cultivators and a hundred Spirit Wheel Realm Experts in one move—he himself could not accomplish that so easily with such a lineup...

While Zhou Ling was still in shock,

the marks and spiritual energy of those Zhou Gang members who had crashed onto the Thousand-Foot Platform

were extracted. Their bodies turned ethereal as they were forcibly expelled from the Northern Cang Realm.

Hiss—

This scene

made the ordinary students watching from outside the Thousand-Foot Platform constrict their pupils and gasp sharply.

They had originally believed

that Qing Luo stood no chance against the Pressure of the Zhou Gang and would, like the other Seed Quota holders, submit to King Zhou Ling's faction.

But reality was...

Nearly a hundred students, including three with Seed Quotas,

had been driven out of the Northern Cang Realm before its trial had even truly begun...

The Northern Cang Realm trial was truly terrifying!

"Now it's your turn!"

From within the area scoured by terrifying spiritual energy, Qing Luo emerged from the boiling energy. With a wave of his hand, boundless spiritual energy obeyed his command

and transformed into a hundred-foot True Phoenix that crashed down upon Zhou Ling.

"Arrogant!"

Feeling the killing power contained within the hundred-foot True Phoenix,

Zhou Ling could not help but furrow his brow.

But he was King Zhou.

He was a Spirit Road King. Though the other party was also at the Spirit Soul Peak Realm,

Zhou Ling was confident that among those of the same realm, aside from the handful of peak Kings who had emerged from the Spirit Road, he feared no one.

"You don't understand the true worth of a Spirit Road King. Even among Spirit Soul Peak Realm cultivators, there are differences!"

Zhou Tian Spirit Wheel!

Zhou Ling attacked tyrannically. Boundless spiritual energy formed a dazzling spirit wheel that bore down on the hundred-foot True Phoenix.

The Zhou Tian Spirit Wheel!

It was a quasi-God-tier Spiritual Art he had found in some ancient ruin.

After obtaining this Spiritual Art, he had become unrivaled among those of the same realm!

Boom—

The two great Spiritual Arts collided fiercely above the Thousand-Foot Platform.

The hundred-foot True Phoenix gleaming with Golden Light and the emerald-green Zhou Tian Spirit Wheel erupted with an incomparably terrifying tide of spiritual energy.

The tyrannical tide of spiritual energy swept outward.

Even the students standing far away were sent flying by the terrifying Pressure.

The towering Thousand-Foot Platform became a vacuum zone beneath the collision of the two great Spiritual Arts.

Pfft—

Very quickly,

a figure was hurled away from the Thousand-Foot Platform.

"Who was it?"

"Who won..."

Everyone's hearts trembled at the sight.

Although Zhou Ling was a Spirit Road King,

he was King Zhou!

Qing Luo's dominance had also left a deep impression on everyone. He was no weaker than King Zhou Ling.

"King Zhou?"

"Heavens, Zhou Ling, a Spirit Road King, was actually blasted away?"

"Even a King can be crushed by that Qing Luo?"

Once they saw clearly that the person flung out by the vortex of spiritual energy was Zhou Ling,

expressions of horror appeared on everyone's faces.

Before countless gazes, Zhou Ling, like the other students, had his mark turn into a stream of pure spiritual energy that flowed into Qing Luo.

His body directly turned ethereal as he was expelled from this world!

This only made the upright figure standing upon the Thousand-Foot Platform appear even more transcendent and tyrannical!

This scene...

filled the eyes of those who only dared watch from afar with even greater awe and reverence.

"The pressure really is maxed out..."

Looking at that familiar figure, Mu Chen murmured softly.

Before this clash had even begun,

he had already guessed the outcome.

After all, he understood Qing Luo. The pressure Qing Luo gave him was not much weaker than that of Ji Xuan and Yang Hong.

Though Zhou Ling was also a King,

he was still a level below Ji Xuan and Yang Hong.

Still, Mu Chen had not expected Qing Luo's battle against Zhou Ling to be so utterly overwhelming...

"I need to work harder too. I can't let myself fall too far behind!"

After sighing, Mu Chen did not linger.

He plunged into the Primeval Forest below to seek his own opportunities.

The situation in the Northern Spirit Territory had already been decided.

But Mu Chen believed that in the towering Northern Cang Realm, during the Northern Cang Academy trial, he might still have a chance to catch up to Qing Luo!

Upon the Thousand-Foot Platform,

streams of pure spiritual energy flowed into Qing Luo's forehead.

They covered the reddish mark on his forehead with a layer of Golden Light.

The Golden Light was even richer than the one Zhou Ling had possessed earlier, with a faint layer of Purple Light flowing within it.

And the "three" representing his Seed Quota on the mark

settled at the level of "six" after absorbing the mark energy of Zhou Ling and the others.

Sensing the current level of his mark,

Qing Luo's lips curled slightly upward. His figure stood even straighter, his bearing radiant.

The moment he entered the Northern Cang Realm,

he had been bombarded by all kinds of talk about Spirit Road Kings.

It had to be said that the Five Great Academies truly had unique methods for cultivating students. Those Kings were indeed outstanding among their peers.

But that was all. Even among Spirit Soul Peak Realm cultivators, there were differences!

"Somewhat regrettable..."

With a flip of his wrist, the several-zhang-long Myriad Soul Banner appeared in Qing Luo's hand, its sinister aura enveloping the Thousand-Foot Platform.

After sensing that it was completely empty, without the slightest trace of Souls within,

a look of regret appeared on Qing Luo's face.

The students participating in the Northern Cang Realm trial all had Spirit Arrays protecting the marks on their foreheads. When faced with a life-or-death crisis, they would be teleported out of this realm.

Trying to kill them was far too difficult,

and would also bring unnecessary trouble.

However, aside from those students, many Spirit Beasts also lived in the Northern Cang Realm, including Heaven Grade Spirit Beasts that had entered the Three Heavens Realm.

The inability to hunt students did not mean he could not hunt those Spirit Beasts...

With that thought,

Qing Luo activated his Double Pupils and stood atop the Thousand-Foot Platform, searching for powerful Spirit Beast clans and figures.

"Found them..."

Very quickly, a faintly pleased expression appeared on Qing Luo's face.

He found a gathering place of Spirit Beasts, where a Three Heavens Realm Heavenly Beast was present.

The next moment,

Qing Luo carried the Myriad Soul Banner over his shoulder and used the Kirin Step to sweep toward that Spirit Beast gathering area.

What Seed Quotas? What Spirit Road Kings?!

In Qing Luo's eyes, those prodigies upon whom the Five Great Academies had placed such high hopes were not even as valuable as those Spirit Beasts...
