The Yaksha King's Fury

The Yaksha King's prestige had spread far and wide; among the kings of the hundred races, he was nearly without equal. Now he walked through the void step by step, as if having merged with heaven and earth, in sync with the pulse of the world. The vast sky itself trembled with each of his footsteps.

A soul-shaking, terrifying pressure surged like a roaring sea or a collapsing continent. Heaven and earth, all things, quaked in fear.

Mighty Yaksha King! Although he came alone, he struck with the force of a thousand troops, bringing an overwhelming sense of intimidation. All the experts felt an ineffable oppression.

“What a grand entrance…” “Does he really think he’s invincible under heaven?”

The Yaksha King’s aggressive arrival naturally displeased some foreign kings. They dared not speak loudly, but some muttered under their breath.

However, as a king among equals, the Yaksha King’s strength far surpassed ordinary cultivators. His hearing was exceptionally sharp. Two beams of terrifying green light shot from his eyes, and in an instant he stepped across the void to stand before the assembled kings.

“I grant you death!” Without warning, he appeared before a king. His snow-white, jade-like hands reached out, sealing space itself, and snatched that foreign king in his grip. Then he wrenched with both hands. With a splatter of blood and rain, he tore the foreign king apart on the spot.

Brutal!

The Yaksha King’s green hair flew wildly. His features were exceedingly handsome—truly refined and jade-like. But now his jade-white hands dripped with blood. The body of a foreign king had been rent to pieces. He looked absolutely terrifying, and a chill rose in the hearts of every king present.

This was the domineering Yaksha King. Anyone who dared defy him would suffer bloody suppression.

“And who is this…” Xiao Chen stood within Keke’s Paradise Lost, having witnessed everything. He spoke very calmly. “Last time I tore out half a Yaksha heart. The taste wasn’t all that great.”

The Yaksha King’s eyes blazed with green light. He stared fixedly at the blood-red skeleton before him. Last time, at the Giant clan’s altar, he had suffered grievous wounds. Xiao Chen had seized that moment to strike, not only crushing half his heart but also breaking several ribs and tearing away part of his lung, bringing him to the brink of death.

Boom!

The Yaksha King charged straight in. He shook his arms, and that region of the sky shattered. He raised a hand and chopped down toward Paradise Lost. Green radiance flooded the heavens, as if igniting the starry void. A terrible pressure made souls tremble.

But even at the Perfected Man realm, he could do nothing to Paradise Lost. The vast tide of energy dispersed instantly within the divine garden, and the Yaksha King, having charged close, was forced to tear through space and retreat. He had never encountered Paradise Lost before, but his extraordinary combat instincts and spiritual awareness made him sense the danger at once and pull back decisively.

“All of you, attack together and break that divine garden!” The Yaksha Heavenly King swept his gaze across the surroundings, seeming to disregard all the other kings entirely. He gave this order directly, even ignoring the Asura King, who was also at the Perfected Man realm.

The Asura King gave a cold snort. He had been leading the other kings to assault Xiao Chen, but now he halted his advance. The Golden Lion King let out an undisguised sneer. Gripping the Basde Ancient Spear, he took several steps back.

Seeing that the other kings seemed unwilling to act, the Yaksha King’s eyes flashed cold light. He barked, “If not now, then when?!” Every king his gaze passed over felt a chill run down their spines. Nine foreign kings stepped forward, forming formation with him.

The Yaksha King scanned those who had not advanced. Then, in a flash, he moved. His towering, imposing frame erupted with overwhelming energy as he appeared before a foreign king, grabbed him, and bellowed, “Kill!”

He lifted that foreign king and hurled him toward Paradise Lost, using him as a test subject.

There was no denying the Yaksha King’s divine might. He struck with world-overwhelming force. That foreign king could not resist at all; his cultivation was sealed instantly. Only when he neared Paradise Lost did his divine powers return, but by then he had no retreat. The divine garden engulfed him.

Xiao Chen, gripping a War Sword, strode forward like a god of slaughter. The foreign king discovered in terror that all his power had vanished—he had lost his innate divine abilities. Cold sweat poured down his back as he drew the divine weapon at his waist to resist the approaching Xiao Chen.

But how could he possibly defend himself? With a sharp clang, as Xiao Chen’s War Sword descended, not only was the foreign king’s divine weapon severed, but his body was also cleaved in two. Blood sprayed, drenching the divine garden.

Xiao Chen raised his War Sword and addressed the Yaksha King mockingly, “Yaksha King, why don’t you throw them all in?”

“Friends, we must set aside our differences and work together to break this divine garden and slay him!” spoke the recently wounded Death Spirit King, who was mainly trying to defuse the tension between the Asura King and the Yaksha King.

“Yes! If we join forces, can we really not break a single divine garden? If word gets out that we could do nothing, how will we kings save face?” The Zombie King also spoke up. He hated Xiao Chen to the bone—he had been dragged along as a golden thug and gotten nothing for it.

“Right! Attack together! Kill him!” “Break open the divine garden!”

All the kings shouted and began to encircle them. The Asura King glanced at the Yaksha King and ultimately chose to strike. As for the Golden Lion King, he had eyes only for the little white beast. He also advanced, the Basde Ancient Spear dripping with half-ancestor blood held before him.

“Kill!”

The kings shouted in unison, attacking simultaneously. A terrifying pressure filled heaven and earth. Mountains and rivers split apart instantly. The combined energy of nearly twenty foreign kings was unimaginable.

This place had been a primeval forest, but now every tree was reduced to ash. Under the residual waves of destructive energy, even the surrounding mountain ranges rumbled and collapsed.

The original mountain chain was utterly destroyed. Not only the nearby peaks were ground to powder, but even the distant hills shattered. Rocks flew through the air, energy waves surged like a tsunami, and the earth caved in on a massive scale.

An apocalyptic scene unfolded, as if the end of the world had come.

The battle cries shook the heavens. All the kings unleashed their strongest combat power. But against the divine garden, filled with spiritual treasures from every direction, every attack proved utterly useless.

This terrified everyone. Paradise Lost was too fearsome. They recalled the old rumors—that the divine garden could steal the smile even from half-ancestors—and each king’s heart grew heavy.

Just then, Keke drove Paradise Lost, darting and weaving among the kings, while Xiao Chen began to attack without restraint. Protected by Paradise Lost, he was inherently invincible.

Divine Charm Flower Seal!

Xiao Chen’s hands formed the seal swiftly. Behind him, a massive shadow ten meters tall, resembling his own form, materialized. In its hand, a rare flower bloomed, eclipsing the sun and moon in the sky.

Xiao Chen appeared like a Buddha smiling while holding a flower, radiating an ethereal, transcendent charm—but within that charm lay boundless killing intent.

The divine flower blossomed, peerless among the blooms!

Petals drifted down, instantly engulfing that foreign king. Each crystal-clear petal contained unimaginable power, like heavenly blades rending the void.

The foreign king’s body was pierced through. All the crystalline petals were stained blood-red, trailing strings of gore.

Bang!

The foreign king exploded into pieces, killed on the spot. Xiao Chen then stored him in his space ring. Before the other foreign kings could attack, he quickly withdrew into Paradise Lost.

This single strike drained all of Xiao Chen’s strength. But with Paradise Lost protecting him, he had no worry and could focus his full power into one devastating blow.

Under the siege of so many foreign kings, Xiao Chen had killed one in the midst of chaos, deeply shocking everyone.

“Kill!”

The kings were men of blood and fire. Seeing this result, all of them shouted and launched an even more frenzied assault.

Xiao Chen was not afraid. He stood coldly in Paradise Lost, waiting for his opportunity. Only when his strength had fully recovered did he strike again.

Unmoving Wisdom King Seal!

This time, Xiao Chen directly joined his hands in the seal. The great shadow of the Wisdom King materialized, its massive figure blotting out half the sky. Like a heaven-supporting giant, it extended a palm as vast as a mountain and slammed down.

Boom!

Overwhelming energy shook the ten directions. The sky shattered. The mountain-like palm of the Wisdom King directly smashed a foreign king’s body to pulp, staining the sky with blood.

Swish!

With lightning speed, Xiao Chen collected the corpse into his space ring. His strength was drained once more, but he had no fear, recovering slowly within Paradise Lost.

All the surrounding foreign kings changed color. Two attacks had killed two foreign kings. Such methods sent chills down their spines.

This result was unbearable for everyone. The kings were furious, but they could not change what had happened.

Slay God!

Tens of thousands of divine blades and ancient swords soared through the sky, like a rain of blades and swords. In an instant, they dismembered a foreign king. Amid the countless blades and swords, blood sprayed. He died with his eyes wide open.

Yet another foreign king had been slain!

“Give me your life!”

The Yaksha King swept across the void, seizing the moment when Xiao Chen emerged from Paradise Lost to intercept him.

Xiao Chen struck with three of the Four Killing Hands—Suppress Demon, Reverse Chaos, and Collapse—all at once. Facing this fearsome Heavenly King, he dared not be the least bit careless.

Boom!

The sky shattered. The Asura King also attacked.

Crack!

A tearing sound came through the air. The Basde Ancient Spear dripped with half-ancestor blood. The Golden Lion King thrust the spear forward, and this region of heaven and earth collapsed.

With three Heavenly Kings joining forces, Xiao Chen could not possibly withstand them. Using the Eight Aspect Extreme, he withdrew like a ghost. The little beast Keke enveloped him with Paradise Lost, shielding him again. The two worked together flawlessly.

Swish!

Keke transformed into a streak of white light and shot toward another region of the void. Xiao Chen gathered all his strength once more and launched a fierce attack—Spatial Rending Slash! This was his own Space Divine Principle, now awakened.

Kalak!

A dreadful blue beam tore across the sky. A massive spatial rift spread instantly, cleaving a foreign king in two. Blood splashed, and a mist of gore filled the air.

A fourth foreign king had been killed.

The kings were mad with fury, but they truly could not break through Paradise Lost. This left everyone frantic with impatience.

When Xiao Chen’s strength had been drained and then recovered once more, Keke avoided the Yaksha King and the Asura King and charged toward the Zombie King. Xiao Chen leaped up and executed the Reverse Dragon Seven Steps. The Zombie King spewed endless corpse qi, surging with overwhelming energy, but still could not block it.

With each step of the Reverse Dragon Seven Steps, the sky shattered. When the fifth step landed, the Zombie King’s arms, raised to block, exploded instantly. Xiao Chen’s sixth step stamped solidly onto the Zombie King’s chest.

Crack!

The Zombie King’s body burst apart, utterly slain in the void.

“Kill!”

A foreign king of no great distinction—merely at Fish-Leap Fifth Heaven—thought he could take advantage and charged in. But he ran straight into Xiao Chen’s seventh step. His bones snapped, his tendons tore, and his soul was annihilated. Only a mist of blood floated in the sky.

Swish!

The moment his strength was exhausted, Xiao Chen was once again enveloped by Keke’s Paradise Lost. The Yaksha King’s fist crashed through the void, passing a hair’s breadth from him.

“Chase down the Yaksha King!” Xiao Chen told Keke to lock onto the Yaksha King and try to draw him into Paradise Lost.

Keke turned into a white streak and, bearing Paradise Lost, kept charging at the Yaksha King.

Swish, swish, swish!

Figures flew through the sky as the various kings hurriedly retreated. Even the Yaksha King dared not confront them directly. Facing Paradise Lost, he could only tear through space to evade its edge.

Just then, the little beast suddenly flew out of Paradise Lost and dashed toward the Yaksha King.

The Yaksha King smiled coldly, no longer evading. Having reached the Perfected Man realm, he possessed great confidence. If not for the fact that he could do nothing to Paradise Lost, he believed he would have already slain this pair.

“Perish for me!”

He stepped forward. A terrifying tide of green light poured down. Though he was still a thousand meters above the ground, the earth had already begun to split, and the sky was long since shattered—such was the terror of his power.

Keke waved her little claws repeatedly, sweeping streams of seven-colored light at the Yaksha King. She pushed the Dragon Clan’s great divine art—Imprisonment—to its limit!

The little beast had one goal only: to imprison the Yaksha King and drag him back into Paradise Lost.

Boom!

The void broke apart. The Yaksha King was greatly shocked. He had initially looked down on the little beast, but never expected that this tiny creature could break through the vast tide of green light and actually imprison him within a seven-colored light barrier, painstakingly dragging him toward Paradise Lost.

All the kings were dumbfounded. This had all happened in an instant. There was no time to rescue him. The Yaksha King was about to be laboriously dragged into the divine garden.

“Ah… break for me!” The Yaksha King’s green hair thrashed wildly. Two terrifying beams shot from his eyes, tearing the void itself.

It must be said that the Yaksha King was a supreme powerhouse of the current peak, his divine might unequalled.

Boom!

Just as he was about to be dragged into Paradise Lost, he shattered the seven-colored light screen and broke free of the Dragon Clan’s Imprisonment technique. Though Keke immediately enveloped him with Paradise Lost, it was too late. The Yaksha King had escaped.

However, in that moment, Xiao Chen had already moved. The Hand of the Supreme Being and the War Sword struck together, and the Reverse Dragon Seven Steps descended mercilessly.

The Hand of the Supreme Being struck empty space—the Yaksha King dodged it. But the seventh step of the Reverse Dragon landed squarely on the Yaksha King’s shoulder. With a sharp crack, that arm was pulverized. At the same time, the War Sword slashed down. With a spray of blood that rose to the heavens, the Yaksha King’s arm was severed.
