The Skeleton King started losing control of its body under the Light of Cleansing. The Blackfire Battleaxe with Slash Sub Attribute could reap the life of the Skeleton King with a beheading strike.
Ding
The Blackfire Battleaxe struck the skull of the Skeleton King with full force, but even when under the Light of Cleansing, the Skeleton King’s body was still extremely tough.
The Slash Sub Attribute applied on the Blackfire Battleaxe started to show its usefulness, cracks appeared on the skull of the Skeleton King. Yang Tian was aiming for the emerald flame hiding inside its skull; he would just need the Light of Cleansing to reach the emerald flames and the Skeleton King’s life would end.
The Skeleton King also noticed Yang Tian’s motive but it was unable to put up any resistance due to the effects of the Light of Cleaning. It could only watch as its skull was slowly sliced open.
Sizzle
The Light of Cleansing seeped into the skull of the Skeleton King and caused the emerald flames to boil with thick smoke. The Skeleton King lost its life the next instant.
After the smoke from the emerald flames dissipated, a bundle of golden flames that contained the Mid Rank 5 Mental Power of the Skeleton King remained. This was a tonic for Yang Tian.
To ensure the purity of the flames, Yang Tian used Cleansing on it again.
The skeleton soldiers’ fighting power took a sharp drop with the loss of the Skeleton King, plus they were also affected by additional gravity. The skeleton soldiers were unable to fight against the retaliation of West City, the only one that suffered losses was Brain-Eating Terror Hog because the soul fire inside the skulls of the skeleton soldiers was of no use to it.
However, these soul fire could be gathered and turn ordinary humans into metahumans. Compared to energy crystals, soul fires has higher effectiveness.
The remaining seven cities were still defending against the invading Early Rank 5 creatures. Radiant Three Tail Croc had gone to support the weakest South City while Yang Tian has to deal with the remaining four Early Rank 5 personally.
Lei Xing and Xu Dafu can entangle one but they were unable to kill it.
The Northwest City was facing a Metal Eater, Yang Tian decided to head to Northwest City first. The Metal Eater is a creature with unlimited growth potential, similar to the Brain-Eating Terror Hog. Moreover, this one has reached Early Rank 5.
After beating the Metal Eater to a critical state, Yang Tian used Barbaric Taming, greatly increasing its Strength Attribute.
The Metal Eater was sent to Southeast City to provide support against the Early Rank 5 creature there.
While Yang Tian went to East City to face the Indigo Snow Wolf there.
The Mid Rank 5 Light Slash easily allow Blackfire Battleaxe to slice off the Indigo Snow Wolf’s head as though it had no defense, immediately ending its life and its brain matter became food for Brain-Eating Terror Hog.
Yang Tian would not allow any of the Early Rank 5 to escape; except for the Metal Eater, the remaining four were all hunted by Yang Tian and their brain matter was fed to Brain-Eating Terror Hog.
Brain-Eating Terror Hog successfully evolved as well.
The Early Rank 5 Brain-Eating Terror Hog regained its five-meter body again, but its color turned a shade darker as well. Its current defense was at least three times of a Peak Rank 4.
The attack this time was much more terrifying than the last; all eight cities had suffered lethal damage and would require many materials and time to restore them to normal. Several large scale Rank 4 Magic Energy Weapons were also scrapped.
However, West City had collected several Soulfire that could turn a normal human into a metahuman; this was small compensation for the losses suffered.
Sky Halberd Domain avoided being attacked over the next few days, not a single invading creature could be seen, allowing everyone to gain enough time to recover.
“Domain Lord, a group came to visit.”
A hurried Xu Dafu entered the place to inform Yang Tian.
Yang Tian used Mental Examine and saw that it was a group wearing weird attires. However, the energy they were emitting revealed that they were not simple.
“An Ancient Sect came to look for me as well?”
Yang Tian could roughly guess the identities of these people and walked out of the palace.
“May I know why you are here and able to enter my Sky Halberd City directly?” Yang Tian impassively replied. It was hard to determine his attitude with the tone he was using.
“Pardon our manners.”
An elder in black hair replied with a faint tone of apology, but a young man at the back of the group did not like this and said:
“First Elder, you have already said so much, yet this kid did not express anything. Why not we…”
“Shut it!”
The elder ordered angrily. The young man could only remain silent, but Yang Tian’s expression was no longer pleasant.
The Ancient Sects have come out to look for the Children of Heaven, despite the power these Ancient Sects possessed, they needed to rely on a Child of Heaven in the end. Yang Tian did not believe that he was a Child of Heaven, but he would not allow himself to be bullied as well.
“Why? Do you want to cause a scene in my place? I know you are powerful, but this doesn’t mean that I do not have methods.”
Yang Tian’s tone was cold, the young man wanted to speak out again but was glared by the black hair elder, causing the young man to turn pale.
“We are not here to cause trouble, just here to discuss some matters.”
“I do not see the need? You people also did not look like you wanted to discuss any matters with me, more like here to insult me.” Yang Tian emphasized on the word ‘insult’.
However, the black hair elder acted ignorant about the emphasize and continued:
“I wonder if Young Master had encountered similar forces like us before?”
The black hair elder was undoubtedly referring to the Ancient Sects. Truly speaking, Yang Tian had met the Misty Sect only who seemed to have intentions of roping Yang Tian in as well.
“I did encounter, one? But I did not interact much with them.”
“If that’s the case, this old man believes that Young Master would be interested in discussing with us.” The black-haired elder replied confidently.
“I am listening.”
“Is Young Master going to have a discussion like this?”
Yang Tian cursed inwardly at this old fox, but he had no choice but to invite the black hair elder into the palace. Yang Tian believes that after the black-haired elder’s warning, his group would no longer act rashly.
However, Yang Tian still called Dragonite and Jinn Beast over for insurance and got them to watch the group.
Shock appeared in the black hair elder’s eyes when he saw Dragonite and Jinn Beast, although the elder quickly hid his emotions again, it was still caught by Yang Tian.
“Is this Young Master’s mounts?”
“You can say that!”
“Haha, Young Master is truly fortunate!”
After the black hair elder spoke, he also further confirmed the idea in his heart. It was easy to identify the species of Dragonite, but the Jinn Beast’s extraordinariness was also something that normal humans could not detect. This was also Yang Tian’s intention when he got the Jinn Beast to watch over his group.
Yang Tian went into the palace with the elder, Yang Tian sat at the lord’s seat while the elder sat on the nearest seat to Yang Tian.
“Young Master, this old man can see the aura of a king in you. You are destined to be extraordinary.”
