Chapter 576: Chapter 576: The High Platform
If the Shenjian Gate was destroyed this way by the Ghost King Sect, then isn’t the position of the Northern Leader vacant?
This is the real reason they desire to make the attempt!
"Heavens, it seems everyone believes that we are doomed today!"
In this chaotic capital, Di Hai, who had reigned as King for a day, how could he not be urgently noticed by people?
"So hard to escape? Perhaps so!"
Yang Tian merely smiled faintly and said, "But Ancestor believes, such misfortune shall not be ours."
At this moment, the high platform could no longer suppress the strings aimed toward the heavens. He leapt down immediately, landing directly onto the elevated platform.
Behind him, the old ghosts of the Ghost King Sect were shouting as the other powerful old ghost followed whistling.
Three people stood on the platform, six eyes staring at Yang Tian, as if they were facing death.
"Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate? Step forward and crush him to death now!" A cold voice echoed toward the sky.
Are you unworthy?
Upon hearing Yang Tian’s words, his heart filled with murderous intent, and in an instant, killing intent surged to the heavens. Those watching the battle around the gates held their breath; some even turned pale immediately.
No wonder he was so angry at Tianxing. After all, as the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, one of the world’s three great clans, he was the second-ranking individual in the Cultivation World.
Jianling Emperor Li Yicai, the number one in the Cultivation World, would not dare say he wasn’t suited to attack Tianxing.
But now Yang Tian not only said it but acted on it!
How could they not be upset about this? How could they not be enraged?
"Good! Good! Good!"
Three words echoed in sequence, as anger condensed into substance and soared toward the clouds. With cold eyes directed at Yang Tian, he said, "Then, leader, kill these two ants first, and then extract their skins."
As he spoke, his hand transformed with crackling sounds into claws, heading straight for Di Hai and Su Youu on the stage.
Let us go!
Seeing this, the crowd instantly snapped out of their shock from Yang Tian’s words. At once, their focus shifted to the confrontation between Tianhang and Yang Tian. As for Di Hai and Su Youu, no one paid them any attention.
After all, in their view, in this deceptive world, how many could stand against the might of the Ghost King’s Heavenly Path?
Soon, they were dumbfounded, rendered speechless.
Because, facing the powerful claw striking toward the heavens, Di Hai casually extended his hand, squeezed it firmly, and sneered coldly, "Emperor, who did you just say was the stinging ant?"
"Hmm?"
Looking at Di Hai who unexpectedly blocked Tianhang’s attack, he hadn’t imagined his strike would be intercepted by Di Hai at all!
Who is he?
The second-ranking individual in the Cultivation World!
The esteemed Clan Leader of the Ghost King!
Even though this claw didn’t carry his full strength, it should have been impossible to block for an ordinary person. If the Divine Sword Sect elder trio—Ye Wudao, Tian Deren, and the others—were gathered, they might still falter under this strike.
But now, Di Hai, someone he had never heard of, was so powerful. How could he not be surprised? Was this within expectations?
What he didn’t know was that in this chaotic capital, Di Hai was one of the two great Kings.
How could the Kings of Day and Night rule over this tumultuous city, standing against vast seas and three fierce competitors, without extraordinary power?
Even Li Yicai, the number one in Xiu Zhen’s world, wouldn’t dare claim he could handle Di Hai, yet now he was unmoved as he repelled someone’s ascent to the heavens.
This is why Yang Tian had appeared in this arena!
But even Tianhang didn’t know Di Hai; how could others possibly recognize him?
They just saw someone emerging from the Divine Saber Sect, and were astonished, halting their attack on the Heavenly Realm.
"This... this isn’t real, is it? Since when has Shenjian Gate become this fierce? If this old man blocks the path to the heavens, then, if he ascends to the heavens for the first time, wouldn’t he terrify the Ghost Emperor to the point of scattering his soul?"
"Sweeping the grounds isn’t sufficient!" After all, the power of the Ghost King Sect is not merely a heavenly journey, but I fear the Seas Emperor’s Qing and Shadow Sect affirm it indeed. On the Sword Sect of the Ghost King, there are truly four elders united in power!"
At first we thought he was a presumptuous, ignorant boy aligned with the Divine Sword Sect reckless in adversity, but now it seems, we may have a dark horse on our hands! Perhaps he’s the most extraordinary dark horse in our collective history.
Though the public murmurs weren’t loud, how could anyone ignore their strength capable of treading the heavens?
Even more so, as the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, being blocked from an attack left him deeply humiliated!
He immediately retreated to the horizon, sneering coldly, "I didn’t expect Divine Arrow Sect to hide someone capable of countering their master’s strike, but do you think this truly brings you to compete with his master’s ’Demon Finger’?"
Saying this, he pointed his claw to the heavens with a cold expression and directed his attack toward Di Hai’s brow.
Seeing this, Di Hai quickly focused his gaze.
Because the Ghost King’s finger was the strongest magical technique that only the Clan Leader could cultivate!
He hadn’t expected that in Tianxing’s fury, he would instantly resort to such a trump card!
But even so, Di Hai showed no intention of retreating, and with the same finger, he powerfully shouted: "Broken Demon Finger!"
You are correct!
Right in this chaotic city, Yang Tian, the Night King, severed the Demon God Finger.
Though whether Tianxing’s Demon Finger could surpass the might of Yang Tian’s Broken Demon Finger by day or night was still inconclusive, as a force revered by all, how could it possibly bow beneath the strength of the Demon Finger?
Thus, you could see both fingers—one a gray phantom, the other silk-like—clashing intensely, as if unveiling an elevated truth, striking against each other.
Divine Tea Split Fist?
Witnessing Di Hai’s extraordinary vigor and clearly indomitable power in a strike, Tianxing’s once-calm expression suddenly transformed with unprecedented solemnity!
Indeed, he was the Ghost King’s Monarch.
The second-ranking individual in Xiu Zhen’s world, without falsehood!
Yet from this punch, he understood that in this capital of chaos, the prevailing King at that time, Di Hai, was indeed renowned!
We have the strength to fight him!
He inhaled deeply and declared: "Ghost Claw!"
Bang!
As his roar echoed across the skies, the rolling platform, and even the skies overhead transformed into a sea of blue flames, fiercely soaring.
And this fire not only burned intensely but quickly coalesced into a dragon, as Di Hai’s punch surged forward with a gust of wind. In an instant, his mystical Seven Split Fist formed a striking battle momentum!
"Monarch!"
Standing beside the Ghost King Clan Leader, the old ghost lamented watching Di Hai tethered to the Heavenly Pit. His brows furrowed deeply.
Bai Mei, Gui Yao, and Guiba—three elders—had fallen under the Divine Arrow Sect, yet within his mind, the strength of Divine Arrow Sect had risen by more than a step.
But what was entirely unexpected was that the Shenjian Gate actually had someone who could contend with Tianhang.
Thus he couldn’t hesitate any further. He looked toward the old ghost whistling and immediately took action.
Xiang Tianxing was the founder of the Ghost King Sect, the spiritual pillar of the sect, feared by other clans.
Xiang Tianxing could never be defeated, let alone tangled up by Di Hai!
Otherwise, under the pressure of the three emperors, the prestige of the Ghost King Sect would drastically diminish!
Therefore, Ghost Ku and Ghost Whistling joined forces, attacking simultaneously at this moment, as Tianxing grew increasingly entangled. To avoid further complications, they had to act decisively!
