Meeting Wang Without Kneeling, True Destiny Lost

And this being before him, with just one blade.

One blade, shattering battle armor, shattering Martial Soul, crippling cultivation.

Yun Ming took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Your Excellency, why did you injure our Shrek people!"

This time, his tone was even more solemn.

General Yika then turned his gaze to Yun Ming.

In that instant, Yun Ming felt as if he was being stared at by a majestic existence.

That gaze was ancient, profound, and indifferent, like a God looking down on ants.

In a daze, he felt like an ant, with nowhere to hide under that gaze.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his body.

General Yika's voice rang out, deep and majestic.

"A mere Mortal dares to injure My King, leaving her alive is already the King's grace."

"Why do you not prostrate!"

"Why do you not kneel!"

"Why do you not offer thanks!"

Prostrate?

Offer thanks?

Yun Ming immediately fell silent.

Crippling their Shrek people...

And he was still expected to prostrate and offer thanks?!

Truly, if this can be tolerated, then nothing can be tolerated!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

A flash of Golden Light.

The Heaven Quaking Divine Spear appeared in his hand.

That was his Martial Soul, renowned throughout the Douluo Continent, his lifelong Partner, Yun Ming.

The spear body was golden, the spear tip sharp, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.

Spear Intent manifested!

Yun Ming's aura surged, his entire being seeming to merge with Heaven and Earth.

He raised his hand and thrust out his spear!

That was a spear imbued with the full power of a peak Quasi-God!

Where the Spear Light passed, space trembled and faintly cracked, revealing the Boundless Deep Space Outside World.

This spear was enough to destroy Heaven and Earth!

However...

General Yika let out a cold laugh.

"Mortal!"

It had witnessed true God Wars.

When it fought Gods and Immortals, these mortals didn't even have the qualifications to glimpse the residual waves of their battles!

Now, a mortal who hadn't even stepped into the God Realm dared to thrust a spear at it?!

It raised its hand.

And slashed out with a blade!

That blade had no world-shattering aura, no dazzling brilliance.

Only...

Darkness!

In an instant, the sky darkened.

Everything would turn into eternal darkness.

The brilliant radiance unleashed by Yun Ming's spear thrust struggled madly in the darkness, but like a Hotarubi encountering an Ocean, it was instantly swallowed whole.

The darkness receded.

Yun Ming stood in place, his complexion changing drastically.

Strong!

Too strong!

This strange existence was actually three points stronger than him!

How could this be!

He was the Continent's Strongest!

How could there be an existence stronger than him in the Douluo Plane?!

But when he thought of how General Yika had just called him a "Mortal," Yun Ming's heart was immediately filled with a bad guess and thought.

He took a deep look at General Yika, then at the Youth who was being firmly protected behind General Yika.

Then, he turned and transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, taking Cai Yuer and disappearing into the sky.

Wang Zhi watched Yun Ming depart and sighed softly.

"Let's go back."

"As you command."

General Yika raised a hand.

In just an instant, the surrounding scenery changed.

They had returned to Wang Zhi's home in Shrek City.

Wang Zhi took out a few healing Pills from his Storage Soul Tool, swallowed them, then sat down cross-legged and began to meditate to recover from his injuries.

General Yika stood behind him like a statue, guarding him silently.

But its gaze towards Wang Zhi carried a trace of guilt and powerlessness.

It was not skilled in healing.

Or rather, among the Ten Ghost Shadow Generals, not one possessed healing abilities.

After all, they were immortal.

So...

It could only watch Wang Zhi heal himself with its own eyes.

This made them, as subordinates, feel utterly useless.

Three hours later.

Wang slowly opened his eyes.

His injuries had improved somewhat, but he hadn't fully recovered. He looked at the silent General Yika, his gaze complex.

"I want to know..."

"Why do you call me King?"

He finally voiced the biggest doubt in his heart.

General Yika knelt on one knee, his tone respectful.

"The King is the King."

"He is the Ruler of the Black Shadow Kingdom."

Wang could not deny this and continued to inquire.

"Then what about Jade?"

"The Previous Queen of the Black Shadow Kingdom, our former King."

Wang nodded slightly.

It seemed his timeline as the Ruler of the Black Shadow Kingdom was after Jade's.

He asked again.

"Why do you revere me as King?"

General Yika pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"Does the King know of the Yin Yang Balance?"

Wang's heart stirred.

Yin Yang Balance.

If the ten generals of the Shadowkhan were resealed back into the Black Shadow Kingdom and unable to invade Earth.

Then, according to the laws of the Jackie Chan Adventures World, Yin and Yang would once again be out of balance.

And to maintain the Yin Yang Balance, the World Will would favor the Yin side.

In other words, he was destined to be the next great villain?

But why had he come to the Douluo Plane?

He thought this, and he asked it.

"Why have I come to this world?"

Seeing that Wang Zhi had realized something, General Yika spoke directly.

"When the King was about to be born, the Black Shadow Kingdom was affected by a war between Immortals and Gods."

"Because it involved two supreme beings, space-time was shattered, and the Black Shadow Kingdom was thus drawn into chaotic space-time."

"By the time we awoke, the King had vanished."

"Until four years ago..."

"We sensed a wisp of the King's aura. After communication, we finally made contact with the King a year ago."

Wang Zhi was greatly shocked.

A war between Immortals and Gods, two supreme beings, shattered space-time and sent him to this world?

He fell silent for a moment, not dwelling on it further.

Since he was here, Douluo Continent was the same anyway.

At least...

There were no Yin Yang Balance laws here to bother him.

"Alright, I understand now."

"Yika, can you return to the Black Shadow Kingdom?"

General Yika shook his head.

"The King is injured..."

"Great General Tala led the remaining nine of us generals to forcibly open a space-time rift to this world. I sent down a wisp of my Divine Soul to escort the King."

Wang Zhi suddenly understood.

"What is your current Strength?"

General Yika replied.

"According to this world's Realm settings, my Strength is equivalent to the Limit Douluo Realm."

"But if I burn this wisp of Divine Soul..."

"I can unleash a God's strike!"

Wang Zhi was overjoyed.

"Stable!"

"This wave, we'll dominate the Douluo Continent!"

"Anyone who disagrees gets slapped!"

However, looking at General Yika, he was indeed too conspicuous. Clad in armor and carrying a warrior's blade, he drew a hundred percent of the stares walking down the street.

He thought for a moment and commanded.

"Transform into human form. Let's be more low-key."

General Yika bowed his head.

"As you command."

A flash of light streaked across.

When the light dissipated...

General Yika had changed his appearance.

The tall, armored warrior was gone, replaced by a youth who looked about ten years old.

The youth had short, dark blue hair, a delicate face, and a hint of sternness in his features.

He wore a simple set of black battle attire, and on his back was a long saber wrapped in cloth.

It was the Shadow Warrior Blade.

Instead of being slung from his waist, it was now carried on his back.
