Clang!
Like two pieces of the hardest Divine Iron colliding, like Titan Giants hammering their weapons, a massive sound wave erupted across the white jade battlefield.
The vast sound wave spread outward at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, sending ripples through space.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"My damn eyes are blind, and my damn ears are deaf!" a powerful Heavenly Dog clansman cursed, blood flowing from all four of his orifices.
He was not the only one in the arena. Cries of agony rose one after another; the closer a creature was to the battlefield, the worse its luck.
The aftershocks from the clash between the two supreme powerhouses had ruined their eyes and ears.
As the dust settled, everyone finally saw the situation in the arena. "Hiss!"
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath at once.
The Ant King's killing fist had been thrown at a speed no one had noticed, yet the blood-covered Gai Feng had actually blocked it!
The divine artifact, the Spear of Destiny, lay horizontally between them. The Ant King's killing fist pressed the shaft into a crescent shape.
Such a sight had never appeared throughout the long years of history.
The image of divine artifacts as indestructible and unbendable was deeply rooted in everyone's minds.
For the first time, the Spear of Destiny had been bent by force!
Everyone was shocked by the power of the Ant King's killing fist, but the Ant King was even more astonished that Gai Feng had blocked the attack.
He was one hundred percent sure that if the Spear of Destiny had not stopped it, his strike would have beaten Gai Feng until he turned to ashes!
What strongest battle armor? In his eyes, it was no different from a straw mat!
"Huff!"
The Ant King exerted force through his legs, his spine turning into a great dragon that surged into his right fist.
The Spear of Destiny was struck into a crescent shape, while blood flowed from Gai Feng's split tiger's mouth, nearly Dyeing Red the battle spear.
Sizzle!
Driven back by that punch, Gai Feng plowed two deep trenches across the white jade platform.
Blood covered the ground along the way.
Just now, Gai Feng had almost believed that he would certainly die!
At the final moment, the Divine Leaf hanging around his neck faintly flashed.
As though blessed with sudden inspiration, he raised the spear to block. Yet although he had successfully defended himself, when he carefully sensed his body, he could not help but let out a bitter laugh.
After throwing that punch, the Ant King did not attack again. He glanced at Gai Feng.
"Your body is only one step away from collapse. Your limbs and bones have long since been shattered, and every cell in your body has begun to rupture and rot.
"You are nothing but a pile of minced flesh now!
"You have merely forced it to hold together with your will for the time being. It seems the outcome has already been decided!"
Gai Feng grinned. Gripping the Spear of Destiny in both hands, he stood up unsteadily yet proudly and stared straight into the Ant King's blood-red eyes.
"Ant King, you are right. I am no different from a dead man now."
The Ant King said, "I will still grant a dignified end to a true powerhouse. Leave behind the Spear of Destiny, and you may go! Prepare your own burial ground!"
"Haha!"
Gai Feng burst into laughter, and that wild laugh caused blood to spray from his body once more.
"Ant King, have you forgotten that this is a battle to the death? Have you concluded that I have already lost?!"
Gai Feng's blood-red eyes stared at the Ant King with incomparable solemnity.
"Oh?"
The Ant King casually folded his arms and looked curiously at the dying man's mad words.
Gai Feng stood tall as though returning briefly to life.
Clang! He drove the Spear of Destiny into the ground, where it stood straight and upright!
The energy he had accumulated over his entire life burst from the Deepest Part of every cell in Gai Feng's body, shooting into the sky.
At that moment, his aura faintly caught up to that of the peerless Ant King!
"Do I not still have my life and soul? This strike burns my flesh, burns my soul, buries me, and buries you!"
Only that unyielding voice echoed throughout the arena.
Gai Feng transformed into a rainbow that enveloped the divine spear, while the Divine Leaf also broke apart. The multicolored energy filling the surroundings was his flesh and soul!
In an instant, the Ant King's expression changed drastically. He stomped hard with both legs, his entire body turning into an afterimage as he charged toward the battle spear.
He wanted to seize control of the divine spear before Gai Feng could activate it.
This was the first time he had lost his composure so thoroughly!
Too late!
The five-colored energy filling the white jade battlefield continuously poured into the Spear of Destiny.
The silver divine spear rang sharply as it spun extremely fast without end, as though it could no longer restrain its vast divine power.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the radiance of the Spear of Destiny illuminated the entire world, sweeping away the darkness and gloom.
Within the battlefield, nine figures suddenly emerged from the Spear of Destiny.
Each one possessed an indescribable aura—some dominated the primordial wilderness, some possessed wisdom reaching the heavens, and some suppressed the earth itself.
"That is Wuma, the first generation Human King who led the most ancient ancestors to rise!"
An eagle-eyed elder shouted. He had once seen the murals of the Human King Slaying Dragon Diagram, and the face of the phantom man before him was identical to the mural!
"That is Lian Shan, the Second Generation Human King; Cang Nan, the third; Niya, the sixth; and Qi, the ninth!"
These were actually the nine ancient Human Kings! Every one of them had left behind countless legends, yet they had all appeared in this world now!
"The Human Race shall not perish! The nine generations of ancient Human Kings have come to aid us as well!"
Human Race warriors were filled with tears and could not help dropping to their knees in worship.
"Die!"
The Ant King was no longer relaxed in the slightest. The energy throughout his body boiled to its limit, and his innate cultivation art operated at full force.
His black body became increasingly profound.
Countless mysterious runes leaped out, while supreme tadpole script emerging from every corner shone most brilliantly!
The greatest scholars keenly discovered that this was actually the true text of the ancient Nine-Nine Song!
The tadpole script continuously gathered, and several stone tablets faintly appeared at the center of the Ant King's body.
"It is actually the Tablet of Truth! So the greatest unsolved mystery of ancient times—the disappearance of the Tablet of Truth—was the work of the Devouring Ants.
"No wonder the Ant King had become powerful beyond all limits!" a Human Race powerhouse said through gritted teeth!
The greatest unsolved mystery of ancient times had been solved today, and the secret of the Ant King's strength had also been revealed.
Everything lay in another God-bestowed Treasure!
"What nine generations of ancient Human Kings? A bunch of old relics dead for who knows how many years, and you actually still want to hurt me!" The Ant King's domineering presence overflowed.
His fists struck without pause. Countless fist shadows pierced through heaven and earth, continuously attacking the flashing Spear of Destiny.
At this moment, the Spear of Destiny seemed to have broken through the barriers of time and space.
Its aura grew increasingly terrifying as it continuously approached the Ant King.
Clang!
The rapidly moving divine spear suddenly stopped.
"Damn it!"
The Ant King's heart sank. He drew his hands back to defend himself and circulated all the energy in his body.
It has finished gathering power. It is about to attack!
The Ant King's hands spun rapidly, forming the strongest shield before him.
The shield contained the highest mysteries of all living things.
The Spear of Destiny had changed drastically by then. Its silver shaft now Radiated golden light.
Whoosh!
The divine spear vanished abruptly from midair, only to appear before the Ant King the next instant!
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
The soaring killing intent made the invincible Ant King's hairs stand on end, and every cell in his body issued its highest warning.
The phantoms of Wuma, Lian Shan, Qi, and the nine generations of Human Kings drove the divine spear forward. The shield the Ant King had hastily created was instantly destroyed!
Gritting his teeth, the Ant King pressed his hands together, Attempting to catch the sharp tip of the divine spear again.
However, the first strike had already destroyed many of his runes, and this time the nine generations of Human Kings were assisting it.
The Ant King's arms blocked it for only an instant before being pierced through!
The divine spear drove straight downward, stabbing toward the Ant King's Main Body!
"Block!"
At the moment of life and death, the Ant King roared. All the supreme runes across his body activated desperately, and hundreds of tadpole characters bloomed from the Deepest Part of his body.
The Multiplication Table reappeared in the world, condensing into a Tablet of Truth before the Ant King's chest. The Spear of Destiny collided with the Tablet of Truth in an instant, creating a world-shaking impact!
God-bestowed Treasure vs. God-bestowed Treasure!
Spear of Destiny vs. Tablet of Truth!
The spear that could pierce anything vs. the shield that could not be broken!
