Chapter 1090: Stone Statue Leaves The City (3)
Outside the Silkwyrm Realm.
A faintly discernible portal could be seen. No army had been deployed outside the portal, but a ninth-stage Sunmoon silkwyrm was standing guard there. The power of the Silkwyrm Realm was spread slightly around the portal, giving the ninth-stage Sunmoon the ability to contend against any potential invader, including Invincibles.
At that moment, four powerful experts had arrived nearly, remaining in a concealed state. With a wave of his hand, Great Zhou King manifested a character large enough to cover the sky itself. However, the Sunmoon did not notice anything.
Then, the four powerful experts stepped out of the void not far away from the Sunmoon. Great Xia King, Great Zhou King, Great Han King, and Silk Destroying King. Two were from the War Shrine and two were from the Knowledge Seeking Realm.
Great Xia King and Great Zhou King were the publicly acknowledged top three human Invincibles. Great Han King was also a powerful expert ranked among the top ten. As for Silk Destroying King, he was not a founding king. However, he was also a king who had affirmed his dao in the same era as the founding kings.
Silk Destroying King's exact strength was hard to determine, but his Time technique was very famous among the myriad races. He had never killed an Invincible before. But he was famed for his ability to deal massive damage to Invincibles. For example, he was an expert in destroying the past bodies of Invincibles.
And that was something he had done before. That was why he was assigned to this mission as well. With him, they could prevent any of the Silkwyrm King's tri-life bodies from escaping.
The four Invincibles hovered near the Sunmoon. None of them said anything. There were a few times when Silk Destroying King wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth whenever he noticed the cold expressions of Great Xia King and Great Zhou King.
Great Han King remained completely indifferent. Everyone knew that Great Xia and Great Zhou did not get along well. In truth, the two prefectures enjoyed a warm relationship prior to Ye Batian's incident. Great Zhou King's younger brother wouldn't have been there to help Ye Batian otherwise.
The four Invincibles waited in silence. They were waiting for the chaos to start. They were waiting for the perfect opportunity to act. They were getting ready to eliminate the Silkwyrm Realm. Perhaps the silkwyrm race would be no more in two days. A top 100 race would be reduced to history.
The other races wouldn't be able to kill the Silkwyrm King so easily. Without seven or eight Invincibles, they wouldn't be able to do much to him when he was hiding in the Silkwyrm Realm. But that was not the case for the human race.
Even sending four Invincibles could be considered an overkill. Humanity was immune to the suppressive force of realms. This was both an advantage and a disadvantage.
***
Waiting.
Everyone was waiting.
More and more gazes landed on Grandstar City. The time was approaching. It was the night of the thirteenth day. The city gates were showing no signs of opening. The fourteenth day would arrive soon.
The countless stars in the sky gradually turned bright as morning approached. The four Invincibles were ready to move. They would act at the first ray of light.
The major race Sunmoons had already arrived near the gate. They didn't know the plan as not even the Invincibles had informed them about it. They were only told to wait near the gate.
***
Meanwhile, Su Yu was still cultivating in a random building.
He was also of the opinion that the enemy Invincibles would attack on the fifteenth day, but he didn't care. Whatever.
Morning was arriving. In that case, would the attack arrive the next day? So be it. Even if he failed to kill even one Sunmoon, they wouldn't dare to do this anymore. His main goal was to warn the myriad races, not to kill all the Sunmoons in the city.
As for the Sunmoons who had left the vicinity of the mayor's residence, he was unbothered as well. He wasn't even planning to return to the mayor's residence, so why should he even care about that place?
Nobody had ever said that a mayor could only stay in the mayor's residence. Right at that moment, the first ray of light shone upon the city.
Morning had arrived.
***
The four Invincibles looked at each other. Next, they moved at the exact same moment.
Boom!
The rumble reverberated throughout the city. The city gate was instantly blasted apart. Immediately after, Death Sovereign Xing Yue appeared with their fluttering black cloak and threw a punch filled with death qi toward the Sunmoons near the broken gate.
The dragon Invincible was already on standby. His massive claws swept forth and grabbed the Sunmoons. At the same time, the immortal Invincible released a sword attack toward Xing Yue.
But at the exact moment, several death sovereigns appeared. With a sneer, one of them clawed at the silkwyrm Sunmoon. With a pop, the Sunmoon was torn into pieces.
Next, a moon that was nearly full fell from the sky.
Dead.
The death sovereign wanted to attack others when Xing Yue spoke, "Get over here. Kill these people."
A wave of death qi swept out, creating numerous explosions all over the city. The immortal's sword was instantly corroded by death qi, turning into a sword of death. A different death sovereign released a blast of death qi toward the dragon's claws...
A battle between death spirits and Invincibles unfolded.
Lade, who had remained still, released a sudden palm attack toward the distant mayor's residence. The sky itself was covered by the massive palm. The palm was so powerful the world seemed to fade into the background, leaving the palm as the only thing visible in existence.
Fast, decisive, and powerful.
The palm pierced through space itself and instantly reached the mayor's residence.
Inner hall.
The stone statue was ignoring the battle. He was only in charge of watching over the holy city. Nothing concerned him. But the instant the palm descended upon the residence, he opened his eyes as his face turned frosty.
"Audacious!"
The stone statue was furious. How dare they attack the mayor's residence? The mayor's residence did not belong to Su Yu. Rather, it belonged to him. This was a direct provocation toward him.
Rumbling sounds rang out repeatedly as the entire city shook violently. The mayor's residence crumbled apart, revealing a stone statue.
Su Yu was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he was dead.
***
Not far away.
Su Yu had just opened his door when his jaw dropped.
Holy shit!
Was that really possible?
Was this a joke? This was an ancient city. Yet the mayor's residence had been destroyed? His heart thumped nervously. Holy shit! If he had stayed in the mayor's residence, wouldn't he be dead by now?
Holy shit!
That was close. This was way too dangerous. That stone statue was too unreliable. Wasn't the stone statue...a tad bit too weak? How could the statue allow the mayor's residence to be destroyed?
Who did it?
He was just wondering inwardly when a voice rang out in his mind, "Take the burden for a moment. I'll be back soon."
Suddenly, the burden of death qi on him multiplied. Waves of thick death qi surged out of his body.
At the same moment, the expressions of the death sovereigns changed.
At that moment, reality shattered into pieces.
At that moment, a stone statue appeared. The stone skin around the statue faded away, revealing an ancient Invincible.
It was a man.
He looked simple and unassuming, yet he was incomparably powerful.
"How dare you attack the holy city's tunnel? Not even your Pseudo Emperor dares to do this."
Under the shocked gazes of Xing Yue and the others, the ancient stone statue walked right out of the city. Yes. He had actually walked out of the city.
One punch.
Reality faded away. Only a single fist existed.
Devil King Lade stared at the descending fist in shock. How could this happen?
How could a stone statue leave the city?
How could the stone statue turned into a living form?
Impossible!
This was not what the ancient records said! According to the ancient records, these stone statues could not leave the ancient cities!
Fear was the only thing he felt. He hurriedly split time and space apart, revealing a long river amid the void. Sounds of flowing water rang out. That was the River of Time. Devil King was feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Run!
Alas, it was too late. A boom rang out.
The river snapped and faded into nothingness. A second punch followed. More punches followed. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of punches were thrown. All that had happened in a split second. Everyone only saw a fist before the sky broke apart alongside deafening rumbles.
Devil King Lade was still in the middle of throwing his first punch when countless explosions erupted on his body. Numerous fist marks appeared on his body. Next, his entire body exploded into pieces.
A younger Devil King Lade appeared. But almost immediately, countless punches rained down again. Finally, the younger Devil King Lade was replaced by an old Devil King Lade. Fear and desperation could be seen in his eyes.
"No...mercy!"
The stone statue said nothing and threw another punch.
Right at that moment, the River of Time reappeared from the boundless void. A voice containing boundless power rang out, "Guardian Grandstar, the devil race regrets this. Please have mercy..."
Grandstar ignored those words and threw a second punch. The River of Time rippled as a crowned silhouette appeared from it.
Grandstar glanced at the silhouette coldly and said, "Don't force me to summon the thirty-six guardians and slaughter our way into the Devil Realm."
With a cold snort, he turned and threw a punch at the three fleeing Invincibles. Instantly, a tri-life body was destroyed. With an odd look in his eyes, the silhouette reached out and grabbed Devil King Lade's future body and vanished into the River of Time with a sigh.
Grandstar did not give chase. Without his past and present body, Lade was akin to a tree without its roots. Any carelessness would result in total damnation. The Devil Pseudo Emperor had personally appeared with his future body. Grandstar had no choice but to concede.
Naturally, the Pseudo Emperor wouldn't dare to push the stone statue too much either. It would not benefit the devil race to actually start a fight against the thirty-six guardians.
"If you dare to invade the ancient city ever again, no mercy will be shown."
As his voice reverberated all over the Sea of Stars, the stone statue vanished. Not a single person was left in the region. The three Invincibles were long gone. The nine realm entrances had been tightly sealed. Even with the seals, their entrances were shaking intensely, scaring the experts inside the nine realms witless.
An Invincible...no, four Invincibles had nearly died. The Devil Pseudo Emperor had personally appeared. More importantly, the stone statue...the stone statue was actually capable of leaving the city! This was world-shaking. This was terrifying.
Numerous experts everywhere paled with fear. The ancient cities...were not to be provoked. This was too terrifying. An ancient Invincible had actually walked out of the ancient city. This...was unbelievable. Something like this had never been described in any records.
This was not possible. Countless people were in disbelief. But nobody could deny what happened. Devil King Lade had lost his past and present bodies. He would have died if the Devil Pseudo Emperor had not made an appearance.
