Chapter 580 578: Demon Wave Martial King

"Luo... Luo Tian?"

Ju Huan turned and saw Luo Tian in the sky not far away!

He was already back!

That was way too fast!

And Luo Tian's sword was still dripping with blood!

As a member of the Sea Hunter Race, Ju Huan could clearly identify the blood on Luo Tian's sword as also belonging to the Sea Hunter Race!

'Was Elder Hu killed?'

"Luo Tian, this young master won't capture you. I'll let these two go as well. You can leave!"

Ju Huan said, bluffing to hide his fear.

All he wanted now was to leave this place, return to the Sea Demon Palace for reinforcements, and then come back to deal with Luo Tian.

"I haven't finished my business here. I can't leave just yet."

Luo Tian couldn't help but smile.

He hadn't finished killing all the upper echelons of the Cyan Armor Race!

"No problem. In that case, this young master will take his leave first. You can take your time with your business."

Ju Huan was trying to save face. After speaking, he prepared to leave.

But a playful smile touched Luo Tian's lips as he said, "Did I say you could go?"

Ju Huan's figure froze; he didn't dare to move forward another inch.

"Luo Tian, what do you want? This young master hasn't harmed a single hair on your head. You don't actually want to kill me, do you?"

Ju Huan said, somewhat furious.

Luo Tian almost laughed at Ju Huan's statement.

Ju Huan hadn't harmed a hair on his head, but only because Luo Tian was stronger. Otherwise, he would have long since become Ju Huan's prisoner.

"Benefactor, please let it go. He... he can't be killed."

The wide-faced man glanced at Ju Huan and pleaded with Luo Tian.

Seeing the wide-faced man's fearful expression, Ju Huan couldn't help but reveal a trace of arrogance.

'He must have figured out my identity!'

'I am someone who can't be killed!'

"Is there anyone in this world who can't be killed?"

Luo Tian retorted.

This was a world where might made right, where the strong preyed on the weak. Anyone could be killed by someone stronger.

"Luo Tian, you truly are blind. Do you have any idea who this young master is?"

The fear in Ju Huan's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of pride.

"I don't care who you are."

Luo Tian's expression was impatient.

He'd long found Ju Huan unbearable. The man was arrogant, conceited, and acted as if everyone was beneath him and should worship the ground he walked on.

"Don't be so quick to speak. This young master is the Demon Wave Martial King's..."

Ju Huan smiled arrogantly.

'Luo Tian doesn't know my identity. Once I reveal it, he'll surely change his attitude and let me go obediently.'

But he didn't even get to finish his sentence!

SHHCK!

A cold flash of Sword Light streaked across Ju Huan's neck.

Ju Huan's head tumbled to the ground, his eyes filled with indignant fury and disbelief!

'How dare you kill me?'

"What? He's dead?"

The wide-faced man was stunned speechless on the spot.

He had already given a warning, yet Luo Tian hadn't hesitated for a second before lopping off Ju Huan's head!

"Demon Wave Martial King?"

Luo Tian had also heard the last few words Ju Huan uttered.

'Isn't the Demon Wave Martial King a Supreme Elder of the Sea Demon Palace?'

He hadn't expected this man to actually have a connection to the legendary Martial King.

Still, Luo Tian had no regrets!

The people of the Sea Demon Palace were his enemies.

The Demon Wave Martial King was already an enemy!

Besides, Luo Tian had the protection of the Tai Yuan Sect. The Demon Wave Martial King couldn't just barge into the Tai Yuan Sect and kill him.

"Ju Huan is dead!"

"We're finished now."

The surrounding members of the Cyan Armor Race saw this and were all scared witless.

The Cyan Armor Race had invited Ju Huan over specifically to curry favor with him.

But in the end, Ju Huan had died on Cyan Armor Race territory.

Even if Luo Tian spared them, the Sea Demon Palace probably wouldn't.

After killing Ju Huan, Luo Tian turned to kill the other upper echelons of the Cyan Armor Race.

He noticed that several members of the Cyan Armor Race looked utterly hopeless and didn't even try to flee.

Suddenly!

BOOM!

Behind Luo Tian, a terrifying, taboo aura erupted from Ju Huan's dead body!

The earth shook and the sky trembled. Dark clouds descended and lightning flashed. An unspeakably terrifying pressure filled the space between heaven and earth, making all living things tremble!

WHOOM!

A mass of dark cyan light burst from the corpse, transforming into a towering figure thirty to forty meters tall!

The moment this figure appeared, the surroundings seemed to transform into a vast ocean. Everything swayed in a violent storm, on the verge of being swallowed up at any moment!

"Was it you who killed this king's descendant?"

Each word was spoken slowly, yet boomed like a clap of thunder!

The hair on Luo Tian's entire body stood on end as an intense sense of crisis washed over him!

"Spare us, Martial King!"

"This was all Luo Tian's doing! It has nothing to do with the Cyan Armor Race! Spare us, Martial King!"

The members of the Cyan Armor Race all knelt down, trembling and kowtowing repeatedly.

WHOOSH!

Luo Tian activated his Moon Shadow Step Technique and shot backward!

He had thought that Ju Huan merely had some connection to the Martial King and that the situation wasn't too severe.

Who would have thought that Ju Huan was actually the Martial King's descendant?

To be specific, he was this Martial King's great-grandson.

"Die!"

The towering figure's expression was grim. He spat out a single word and then pointed a finger!

BOOOM!

That finger descended like a colossal stone pillar, pressing down on Luo Tian.

Everything between heaven and earth dimmed, leaving only that finger, supreme and unrivaled, dominating all in its path!

All matter within a hundred-meter radius of the finger disintegrated into dust. Many members of the Cyan Armor Race exploded instantly, turning into clouds of flesh and gore!

'This is bad!'

Every pore on Luo Tian's body prickled.

His Body Technique couldn't evade this Attack. Even if he used Moon Traces and Illusions, he wouldn't be able to escape!

BOOM!

As the Attack was about to land, at the juncture of life and death, Luo Tian activated his Nether Dragon Divine Vein, enveloping his body in a terrifying Cold Current Vortex.

Then, he pushed his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body to its limit and executed "Immortal Treasure Furnace"!

This was Luo Tian's strongest life-saving measure at his disposal!

VMMM!

A silver Treasure Furnace materialized around him, shimmering with a light that seemed indestructible!

In that instant, Luo Tian's Defense doubled!

It could even block a fatal blow, and any injured part of his body would rapidly recover.

POW!

The finger crushed down, and the silver Treasure Furnace around Luo Tian instantly cracked.

He was sent flying a hundred meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A deep indentation appeared on his chest, and over a dozen wounds opened up on his body. He had no idea how many bones were broken.

'What a terrifying Attack.'

Luo Tian had never been so severely injured.

Furthermore, even with the special ability of the Immortal Treasure Furnace, his injuries wouldn't recover anytime soon.

"Hm?"

The Martial King's phantom seemed a bit puzzled.

Although the power he was currently displaying was less than one-twentieth of his main body's strength.

For a mere ant who had just broken through to the Celestial Pool Realm to have survived was simply unbelievable.

WHOOSH.

Luo Tian saw that the Martial King's phantom had become much more transparent and was now dissipating.

He relaxed.

The Demon Wave Martial King had only left some sort of contingency on Ju Huan's body. His true self was a world away and could, at most, activate the contingency to unleash a single, weak Attack.

"He's not dead?"

A few members of the Cyan Armor Race stared at the battered Luo Tian, their hearts filled with shock!

Even the Martial King's technique couldn't kill Luo Tian. Just how tough was this kid?

The Demon Wave Martial King's phantom stared at Luo Tian without a word and gradually faded away.

Only after that vast, mountain-like pressure dissipated did Luo Tian breathe a sigh of relief.

He could feel that the final gaze was filled with killing intent.

Luo Tian wasn't even sure if the Demon Wave Martial King would personally come to kill him!

'I have to escape as soon as possible!'

"You two, you should go quickly."

Luo Tian said to the wide-faced man and the gentle woman.

"Ah? Yes, yes. Benefactor, take care."

The wide-faced man finally snapped out of it, so nervous he was stammering.

He took his pale-faced female companion and departed quickly.

They had only followed along to have a look, but the events of this day were destined to be unforgettable.

Luo Tian still decided to exterminate the upper echelons of the Cyan Armor Race first.

This was incredibly easy.

He had already killed many of the Cyan Armor Race's upper echelons, and the Martial King's Attack had caught some in its wake as well.

Fewer than twenty Middle Tier and High Tier Earth Element Realm experts of the Cyan Armor Race now remained.

In less than twenty breaths.

Luo Tian was finished!

With their upper echelons completely wiped out, the Cyan Armor Race was doomed and could no longer survive in the Fish and Water Realm.

Although the Cyan Armor Race were the hunting dogs of the Sea Demon Palace, a dog with no teeth or claws would surely be abandoned.

The Cyan Armor Race was finished!

Suddenly, his Creation Technique began to hum, sending a warning. A dangerous chill spread through his entire body.

'Looks like I can't stay here any longer.'

Luo Tian left immediately.

Despite being heavily injured by the Martial King's Attack, he easily fought his way out of the Fish and Water Realm and escaped into the Outer Void.

...

The Sea Demon Palace was built atop a heaven-piercing, colossal peak.

All of a sudden!

An aura that shook the heavens and the cosmos erupted as a figure in a black robe shot into the sky!

WHOOSH! BOOM!

The colossal peak was surrounded by a boundless ocean. At this moment, the sea was dark, and monstrous waves crashed relentlessly against the heaven-piercing peak!

The sky above was equally dark, with thunderclouds roiling!

"We pay our respects to the Martial King!"

Everyone in the Sea Demon Palace, from top to bottom, was startled. They came out, kowtowing and kneeling in worship!

The vast majority had no idea why the Sea Demon Palace's Supreme Elder would suddenly appear, emanating such palpable rage!

'Who provoked this terrifying existence?'

WHOOSH!

The Palace Master of the Sea Demon Palace flew over and knelt in mid-air, crying out in grief, "Grandfather, who killed my son? Where is he?"

"Relay this king's order! Scour the heavens and the earth! Apprehend Luo Tian!"

The Demon Wave Martial King did not answer the Palace Master, but instead issued a command.

The Martial King's order spread throughout the Sea Demon Palace, and even the realms under its control would be mobilized!

"Luo Tian! It was him!"

The Sea Demon Palace Master's face was savage, flames of fury burning in his eyes!

「Below.」

Teng Yuanxing, first on the Earth List.

And Luo Yun, the Grand Elder's disciple, who had once gone to the Tai Yuan Sect to participate in the gambling match.

"Luo Tian?"

Both of them looked shocked.

'Why would the Martial King be so enraged by Luo Tian that he would personally issue an order for his capture?'

"If I can capture Luo Tian, I'll not only get the one million Spiritual Essence Coin reward, but I'll also earn the Supreme Elder's favor and praise!"

Teng Yuanxing's heart pounded with excitement.

He had a rather deep impression of Luo Tian.

Back in the Thief King's Treasure Land, Luo Tian's performance in the trials left by the Thief King had been stunning.

With Luo Tian's help, Lü Hongyi had even managed to outshine him for a time.

When he later learned that Luo Tian had also obtained thirty percent of the Treasure of the Thief King, Teng Yuanxing became consumed with jealousy!

WHOOSH!

Teng Yuanxing departed, and Luo Yun set off as well.

Throughout the entire Sea Demon Palace, countless people set out to hunt down Luo Tian.

Before long, the news spread to the dozen or so realms controlled by the Sea Demon Palace!

Countless experts were mobilized!

Their target: Luo Tian!
