Those who have experienced Samsara know that in the second period of Spiritual Energy Revival, spanning nearly a million years, the King Level represents the pinnacle of this world!
The gap between King Level and non- King Level is huge. Compared to the gap between Above First Rank and First Rank before the arrival of ancient times, it is incomparable. A King Level expert, without the restraint of an expert of the same level, can slowly wear down an army on the battlefield, even if he cannot directly confront the army formation. Especially in the wild, a King Level expert can easily wear down an army of 100,000 Transcendent soldiers.
It's fair to say that an army without King Level power is a lamb to the slaughter!
Therefore, in the early stages of the ancient world, the accumulation of troops is important, but in the middle and late stages, top-tier combat power becomes extremely important. A top-tier King Level has the potential to dominate the battlefield.
This guy is clearly overrated!
Kagura's eyes flashed with murderous intent. At this moment, she even felt that the threat posed by the person in front of her was no less than that of the hidden Ancient Demon. King Xiang was already at the peak of the King Level combat power. Once this guy could cross the King Level, he would be guaranteed to be the next King Xiang. In addition, there was that woman whose aura was no less than his just now. Unconsciously, this guy already had the capital to compete for supremacy in the next era.
But most importantly, as he said, he is human.
Yes, anyone can rise to power, anyone can take turns being in charge, but not the human race!
Magic City profit from the flesh and blood of humans. This is the law of countless cycles of Samsara. Humans can only be flesh and blood; they must never cross that line. Once humans rise on their own, this world will lose all meaning!
In the instant the murderous intent erupted, Kagura unleashed her true trump card.
This caused the emperor, who was in the middle of it, to pause slightly. He sensed something was wrong with his surroundings, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He just felt that something had changed.
This woman truly lived up to her reputation as the Supreme level mentioned by the Black Queen. Even though her power had regressed to the same level, she still possessed a terrifyingly oppressive aura. The moment they clashed, he used his trump card.
He had only used the true power of the Golden Crow Flame twice since he comprehended it. The first time was when he fought against the heavily injured King of Qin. Even though the King of Qin had been ambushed by the Mr. Five Poisons and was on the verge of death, he still saw him as extremely dangerous. So he did not hesitate to use the true power that he had been hiding.
The second time was with the Black Queen. With her help, his strength underwent a qualitative leap. That was the first time he challenged the legendary controller of this world and fought against the true mastermind, forcing him to go all out.
But the result was actually quite disappointing.
Perhaps because of his severe injuries, the King of Qin couldn't withstand even a single move from him.
As for the Black Queen, that battle was almost the one that built his strong confidence. That battle gave him the confidence to face this organization that had secretly controlled the world for countless years, because that battle made him feel that it was nothing special!
Yes, but that's all there is to it!
Although the final battle against the Black Queen was a sudden reversal of fortune, it gave the opponent ample time to react. It was a fair duel, and he did not choose to launch a sneak attack. There were two reasons for this. First, King Xiang and extremely arrogant. If he could not prove himself, the other party would not bother to cooperate with him.
Secondly, he himself wanted to know how his abilities compared to those of these behind-the-scenes figures were.
The result was a huge disappointment. The so-called Black Queen, who was only one of the twelve saints below the guild's Supreme, was utterly no match for her!
Of course, she hadn't regained all her power, but at the same level, her strength was far less than she had imagined. It was then that he truly understood that these guys had seized the intelligence, taken the profits, schemed against the ancients, and obtained the power to rule the world.
But that's just who they are.
If they possess a platform of equal caliber, they are nothing but a mob. The reason they can bully the human race is simply because they take advantage of the human race's inherent weakness.
Therefore, they dare not allow the human race to rise!
This same thought led him to face the so-called Supreme Being without the slightest hesitation.
At the same level, he didn't believe he would lose to anyone, especially these so-called ancient behind-the-scenes figures.
But this time, it seems a little different.
For the first time, he felt a sense of uncertainty.
This isn't an illusion; I had this feeling after we fought!
The other person didn't seem assertive; she seemed to be passively defending against his advances, yet he couldn't touch her.
Yes, this is the first time he hasn't encountered an opponent. Since obtaining the power of the Celestial Phenomenon and undergoing a complete transformation, this is the first time he hasn't met an opponent, even after he has used all his trump cards!
boom!
Another punch landed, unleashing a terrifying Flame Burst that instantly engulfed everything in the surrounding area, turning it into an unhealable wasteland!
But I was still wrong.
"I see."
Kagura's voice came from all directions. "What a simple and straightforward ability."
The emperor remained expressionless and motionless, instead trying to sense the other party's location.
It's normal for a skilled opponent to see through your abilities after missing twice, because your abilities are indeed quite simple.
He concentrated all the flames of the Golden Crow into his body, merging them into his being. He used pure blood to propel that energy, essentially compressing an immense amount of fiery power infinitely. That's why it could unleash such power once it erupted. Even King Xiang thought he had to temporarily avoid its edge when confronted head-on!
However, this ability has a drawback. Although its power is unparalleled and its burst is instantaneous, the circulation of qi and blood still takes time. The compressed fiery power in the body cannot remain in a bursting state indefinitely, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand it after a few blows.
Therefore, that power can only be unleashed by circulating internal energy when fighting enemies.
Between masters, the ability to capture the opponent and unleash their power depends on their experience. In the first two instances, he struck with a single blow without the slightest deviation, and neither the King of Qin nor the Black Queen could evade him.
But this time, he was wrong!
And twice!
Yes, this power requires anticipation; to injure the enemy, one must unleash the burst of internal energy the instant of contact.
This requires extremely high combat awareness and the ability to anticipate events. He has always been very confident in this regard. In his eyes, apart from his sister, there is no one in the world who can make him misjudge.
But now it seems I underestimated them.
"Boom!"
Once again, space shattered with a deafening roar. The third eruption was even more violent, causing spatial destruction more than ten times the size of the previous one. Yet, even so, they still couldn't reach their opponent.
The crimson shadows that filled the sky remained, still so ethereal and untraceable.
"I'm curious, how many times can you unleash power like that?"
"I'm curious too," the emperor said calmly, undeterred. "How can you possibly defeat me if you keep avoiding me like this? It seems the timing isn't on your side."
"Why do you say that?" The other person's voice was tinged with amusement.
"My elder sister would never fail. She won't keep me waiting long. Once the army arrives, I can at least snatch two people back to the capital. I don't understand, what benefit do you gain from dragging this out?"
"Don't you understand?" Kagura smiled. "You'll understand soon enough."
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if something around him had been altered again!
