Chapter 477: Chapter 473: Battle of the Kings

"BOOM!"

An aura erupted from the Sea-Splitting King, soaring into the sky like a column of smoke, blowing away the clouds and revealing the myriad stars.

It was terrifying, a mountainous pressure that descended, blanketing everything.

"BANG!"

Everyone felt as if a great mountain was crushing their bodies, its weight so heavy it was suffocating. The ground for dozens of miles around was forcefully pressed down several inches by an invisible power with a deafening CRASH.

Countless people were forced to their knees. Even Earth Martial Realm experts couldn’t remain standing. The vast fluctuation was like a boundless ocean, filling the entire world.

And when the Sea-Splitting King stepped off his war chariot, arriving before the Meteor King.

A biting chill filled the air as the wind stirred and the clouds roiled.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for a hundred miles around instantly began to boil, as if welcoming its master.

"Run! The two Kings are about to fight!"

"The Sea-Splitting King is here to kill! If we don’t leave now, we’ll all die!"

Across all of Meteor Island, millions were terrified.

Countless people, their faces pale, fled madly. Before the two Kings, they were nothing but ants. A single casual clash between the two could unleash a shockwave powerful enough to kill them a hundred times over.

At this moment, even the Earth Martial Realm experts wished they could grow two more legs to escape this disastrous place faster.

As for the Meteor King’s subordinates and the members of the Meng Family, their faces were all pale, realizing this was a life-or-death calamity.

"Could it be that the heavens wish for the destruction of my Meng Family today?"

Many members of the Meng Family felt despair welling up inside them.

The Sea-Splitting King had arrived with overwhelming aggression, leading numerous masters in an attack on their home. With the Meteor Array broken, who could possibly stop this pack of tigers and wolves?

The Meteor King’s own strength was inferior to the Sea-Splitting King’s, and his foundation was far weaker as well.

The Sea-Splitting King had brought over a dozen Heaven-Reaching Realm experts and as many as a hundred Earth Martial Realm experts.

The Meteor King, on the other hand, had only three Heaven-Reaching Realm experts and a few dozen Earth Martial Realm experts. The difference in their combat strength was not even on the same level.

"Damn it! If it weren’t for having to worry about the Sea-Splitting King, Father would definitely have more Heaven-Reaching Realm experts under his command."

Meng Tianyu said, grinding his teeth.

Because the Meteor King had an enemy like the Sea-Splitting King, many Heaven-Reaching Realm experts were unwilling to follow him. After all, following the Meteor King meant offending a more powerful King, a choice that seemed unwise to many.

’Judging by that aura, he’s a Three-Stars King.’

Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed slightly. From the Sea-Splitting King’s aura, he could tell that the man was a Three-Stars King.

A Three-Stars King, if placed in the Six Eastern Provinces, would be considered the strongest of Kings. Even the most powerful of the Seven Great Super Sects’ leaders, the Celestial Sword King, was only a Two-Stars.

Of course, the Celestial Sword King could barely contend with a Three-Stars King by relying on his Celestial Sword, but he was ultimately no match for a true Three-Stars King.

Ning Jiang’s gaze then fell upon the Meteor King. The Meteor King’s aura was much weaker than the Sea-Splitting King’s. By his judgment, the Meteor King should be a One-Star King.

Within the Celestial Martial Realm for Kings, the gap between each star was enormous.

A One-Star King was absolutely no match for a Three-Stars King.

"Mr. Ning, this is a grudge between my Meng Family and the Sea-Splitting King. It has nothing to do with you. You should leave. If I, Meng Tianyu, can survive this catastrophe, I will definitely repay you for saving my life that day."

Meng Tianyu said sincerely, taking a deep breath.

In his youth, the Meteor King had despised evil and sworn to eradicate all pirates. As his son, no matter how disappointing he might be, Meng Tianyu had inherited some of his father’s righteous heart.

He did not wish to drag innocent people into this conflict.

"I’m afraid it’s already too late to leave now."

Ning Jiang shook his head.

High in the sky, the Sea-Splitting King strode forward, the void trembling violently with each step.

And when he threw a punch at the Meteor King, the entire world seemed to spin behind him, concentrating all the power within a hundred-mile radius into his fist.

"Meteor King, die!"

BOOM!

The world shook violently and the earth cracked open.

The terror of this punch was beyond description. In everyone’s eyes, only the fist remained. It not only shook the void but also overwhelmed their very minds. Before the fist even landed, its terrifying intent had already bored deep into their hearts.

"Hmph."

The Meteor King snorted coldly and slowly pushed out a palm. His palm strike was incredibly slow, as if he were pushing against a thousand great mountains.

BAM!

The moment their fist and palm collided, an earth-shattering sound echoed out, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions.

Beyond Meteor Island, the sea churned violently, creating a tsunami dozens of yards high. Within Meteor Island, many Martial Artists who hadn’t managed to escape yet were caught in the disaster.

Many with weaker Cultivation screamed and died on the spot.

A single clash killed at least a thousand Martial Artists!

The scene was just like Purgatory.

"Sea-Splitting King, if you want a fight, let’s go somewhere else! Why must you involve all these innocent lives?" the Meteor King said furiously, having been knocked back several steps by the punch.

"Hahaha! Innocent lives? What do they have to do with me? Meteor King, if you must blame someone, blame yourself. This is all your sin. If you weren’t hiding on Meteor Island, how could they have been implicated?"

The Sea-Splitting King let out a cold, indifferent laugh.

Someone like him had lived for thousands of years. A single session of closed-door cultivation could last for centuries. After a few hundred years, the world would have changed beyond recognition; the Human World would have transformed countless times.

Why would he care about innocent lives?

"Meteor King, today is the day you die. Face your death!" the Sea-Splitting King shouted, punching again.

"Sea-Splitting King, you go too far!"

The Meteor King roared.

DONG!

The two clashed once more, and many more Martial Artists died violent deaths.

"Sea-Splitting King, that bastard."

Meng Tianyu clenched his fists, his eyes wide with fury. For him, the enmity with the Sea-Splitting King was irreconcilable. One must know that the one who had placed the bloodline curse on him was none other than the Sea-Splitting King.

"Sigh."

Ning Jiang glanced around. His vision was filled with the corpses of Martial Artists, his ears with cries of despair.

This world was just that cruel.

As one of the weak, you couldn’t even decide when you would die.

Just then, Ning Jiang’s gaze focused, landing on a courtyard below.

Inside the courtyard, Chu Hong was struggling to maintain his Domain to protect Chu Qingqing and Chu Xiu’Er. Otherwise, they too would be in mortal danger from the clash between the two Kings.

At this moment, Chu Xiu’Er’s little face was pale and filled with panic.

’Looks like I can’t just stand by and watch anymore.’

Ning Jiang shook his head with a helpless sigh. A voice drifted down toward Chu Xiu’Er. "Xiu’Er, don’t be afraid."

Chu Xiu’Er was stunned. She looked up and saw Ning Jiang’s figure transform into a streak of sword light, soaring fearlessly toward the Meteor Fragment.
