The sudden shattering of the Myriad Phenomena Realm was something the High Priest hadn't anticipated, nor was the sudden appearance of two terrifying auras. Most importantly, the location where the two suddenly appeared put him in a rather awkward position.
He was practically between the two of them!
On the left is the raging Golden Crow Flame. Although no flames appear, the terrifyingly high temperature causes the surrounding elements to vaporize visibly.
To the right was endless ice and cold, devoid of any water element, yet the surrounding elements were visibly solidifying, including the flowing wind!
The occurrence of this extraordinary phenomenon can only mean one thing: the two of them have now broken through the laws of this world, and both of them have broken through to the King Level!
Are they crazy?
A question popped into the high priest's mind. As a top expert who could also break through to the King Level at any time, and a martial arts priest of the Ancient Demon Clan, how could he not have considered the consequences of breaking through to the King Level? Both of them had the resources to contend for supremacy, especially Kagura. With such a powerful background, why would she choose to break through to the King Level and fight to the death with the other?
But he realized it instantly.
This might have been forced upon them.
In other words, this young man from the Xiao Household has broken through the Myriad Phenomena!
The high priest was shocked by this thought. The woman had just sworn that her brother would not die in the Myriad Phenomena, and it turned out that she really was right. Judging from the situation, it must have been that the young man from the Xiao Household made a last-minute decision and broke through to the King Level, forcing Kagura, who had not yet fully mastered the Myriad Phenomena Space, to also break through to the King Level.
The illusory world that has not yet been formed requires a high level of energy to control, Kagura, who temporarily broke through to the King Level, naturally could not continue to maintain it, so it shattered.
The process wasn't hard to guess, but even if he had guessed it, the high priest still gasped. The solution sounded simple, but accurately judging the timing and relentlessly pushing oneself into a corner was something not everyone could do. This emperor of the Xiao Household really didn't care about his life and dared to do such a thing.
But now is not the time to lament that; it's time to focus on my current situation.
The two appeared in such a coincidental position that they were sandwiched right in the middle, and he, who was originally unrelated to their fight, suddenly became the most obstructive obstacle.
In an instant, the thing I feared most happened.
Their eyes turned to him almost simultaneously.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into the high priest's heart. Amidst fear, there was even more anger. These two were barely clinging to life, yet they still dared to look at him?
At that moment, he knew he had been drawn into the battle and had to break through as well, otherwise, he would have no chance of survival today.
This thought came to an abrupt halt in the blink of an eye, and the momentum of unsealing that had been building up in his body also stopped instantly!
"High Priest!!"
In the distance, Zhang Xiaoyun's eyes were wide open and bloodshot, while behind her, a tall Four Saints Guard picked Zhang Xiaoyun up without hesitation and ran away.
The Four Saints Guard around them also retreated suddenly like a tide.
The reason for all of this is the fate of the High Priest between those two!
With a deafening crash, without the slightest chance, the strongest martial arts priest of the Ancient Demon Clan was reduced to a pile of mangled flesh and blood.
The high priest is dead?
Zhang Xiaoyun, who was quickly carried away from the battlefield, still looks on in disbelief.
"He hesitated," the tall Four Saints Guard replied coldly.
Of those present, few could grasp the situation in that instant, and he was one of them.
Zhang Xiaoyun knew that this person's status was no less than that of the High Priest; he was the war priest of this generation of Ancient Demon!
"Why? Didn't that woman already have an agreement with the High Priest to prioritize killing the human emperor?"
Zhang Xiaoyun couldn't understand why the two, who were clearly fighting to the death, would suddenly reach a tacit agreement and prioritize killing the High Priest.
Given that both of them have reached that point, why would they still waste their precious energy and time targeting the High Priest?
"An agreement? You believe in agreements on the battlefield?" The war priest said coldly, "On the battlefield, how volatile the situation is? If we stick to the rules, can it still be called a battlefield? We have a blood feud with the Reincarnator. Do you think we'd be staunch allies?"
"But that doesn't mean they should be targeted first and fought to the death. Why is it still possible?"
"That's what he thought too, so he died!" The war priest sighed. "Anyone would hesitate in that situation. Both of them were on their last breath, and their strength was incredibly precious. Every bit wasted could determine the outcome. At that moment, either of them attacking the high priest alone would be suicide, but they both attacked together."
"The High Priest couldn't have imagined that the two would be so decisive and so in sync. The reason is simple: neither of them was certain of victory. At this critical moment, the High Priest's coincident appearance at their end made him a likely variable in their duel. Why keep him alive if not to kill him?"
"The High Priest probably did anticipate this, but he didn't expect the two to act so decisively. In fact, from the moment the Myriad Phenomena were destroyed and he found himself between the two, he should have known his predicament. He had no choice but to break through to the King Level and fight to the death, just like the two of them."
"But he hesitated, and that slight hesitation cost him his life."
Zhang Xiaoyun still couldn't accept it. "Just because of this?"
That was the High Priest of the Ancient Demon Clan, a wise elder who led the Ancient Demon Clan to establish Warlock Dynasty and schemed against the world. What a great being he was!
So, it all came down to that one moment of hesitation?
"The battlefield is different from behind the scenes." The war priest sighed. "That's how the battlefield is. In the heat of battle, no matter how noble you are, life and death hang in the balance. The human emperor and that Reincarnator didn't hesitate for a moment, but the high priest hesitated, so it was the high priest who died. It's that simple."
Zhang Xiaoyun: "."
"Remember this moment well, let it seep into your very being, pass this precious experience on to the next generation, and make sure every descendant understands one thing: hesitation on the battlefield means defeat!"
--
"His Majesty."
Quefeng stared at the two facing off with a solemn expression, his heart churning with turmoil. He believed that among the King Level combatants, he was definitely among the top, and there were no more than five people in the world who could defeat him.
But now he doesn't have that confidence anymore.
Back in the capital, he lost to this woman when he was not at his best, and he was still somewhat resentful. But now, he was certain that even if he were at his peak and faced these two opponents, he would be utterly annihilated.
One of them is understandable, after all, he's the head of a guild, losing to such a Supreme being wouldn't be a disgrace. But the other one...
The human race has truly produced a formidable figure!
"Are we just going to watch like this?" Quefeng asked the Empress, who was observing the scene.
"What can I do if I don't watch?" The Empress squinted and said, "I don't have the ability to have two people lock my body!"
Upon hearing this, the Quefeng nodded. He knew what was going on. This Yin Crow Flame had a special ability: it could erode the energy of the human body. To what extent?
The degree of degradation!
Yes, the reason I am able to stand here is because of the opponent's ability. The Yin Crow Flame has directly corroded me from the King Level to the King Level Peak, which is why I am able to participate in this battle.
However, this requires a large amount of Yin Crow Flame, which is extremely energy-consuming!
In other words, if the emperor wins, she can use the Yin Crow Flame to pull the emperor back to a level that this world can withstand. However, if she herself has to go up and help, she can only save one person!
What if His Majesty loses?
"Even if we lose, I'm still here, aren't I?" The Empress smiled slightly.
She seemed relaxed, but for the first time, Quefeng heard uncertainty in the other person's tone. In the past, she had always seemed to have great faith in her twin brother, but this time...
That makes sense; who can guarantee they'll win against that woman?
The Quefeng also looked over curiously, wanting to know the outcome. One was an ancient Venerable, the other a current King. In this battle of kings, who would emerge victorious?
