“In this small star… how is this possible!”
In the galaxy, the Blue Knight’s expression was extremely unsightly. He had never thought that such a situation would actually occur.
Just as he launched an attack in an attempt to destroy the star in front of him with a single strike, yet another group of powerhouses appeared one after another.
Putting aside Chen Heng from before, the strength of this Red Lotus King that had suddenly appeared before him was not the slightest bit inferior to his.
But how could this be possible? In this world, every powerhouse has its glorious history. They couldn’t appear in an instant suddenly.
It was the same for the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight. They all had their glorious history and glorious battle achievements. They did not suddenly appear.
However, the Blue Knight had never seen or heard of this so-called Red Lotus King before. However, the powerful aura on the other party was so eye-catching that it was released without any concealment. This made the Blue Knight feel a little terrified and incredulous.
Who on Earth is this?
The Blue Knight’s expression turned ugly as this thought flashed through his mind. And in front of him, the changes were continuing.
Philip raised his head and looked at the sky standing on the throne. As the aura on his body gradually rose, the entire Hechi Star was enveloped by Philip’s power.
A unique feeling appeared. Ever since Philip gradually opened the initial gate, his power had gradually increased. This increase was not only the increase in his initial power, but also the increase in his nature.
As the initial door gradually opened, his body was also gradually changing. Under the influence of the initial door, he gradually became much stronger. With the a.s.sistance of the initial door and the continuous devouring of the stone tablets, Philip’s strength had already reached another level.
Once it was opened, that kind of power even surprised Chen Heng in the distance.
“He’s this strong?”
Chen Heng’s expression was also a little surprised standing on top of a vast altar. He knew that Philip’s strength was very strong. As long as he could endure the baptism of the initial gate day and night, he could become stronger.
However, this degree was still a little exaggerated. During this period, Chen Heng used the baptism of killing power and various methods to strengthen his strength.
As for Philip, the clone? Other than connecting with the initial gate and enduring the baptism of the initial gate, he did not make any other movements.
However, even so, his current strength was still much weaker than Philip’s clone. According to the standards of this world, Philip was already at the peak of Rank Sixth, standing on the same level as the Blue Knight.
As for Chen Heng, he had just reached Sixth Rank, but only his combat strength was at Sixth Rank. The gap between the two was still obvious. The effect of the initial gate on humans was much greater than Chen Heng had thought. However, it was just right.
Chen Heng raised his head and looked at the sky. In his sight, the appearance of the Blue Knight appeared. It was clear and obvious. With the appearance of Philip, the Blue Knight’s plan had already failed.
Philip’s strength was not weaker than the Blue Knight. If Philip joined forces with Chen Heng, the Blue Knight’s strength would be inferior to theirs. In front of such a combination, it was already impossible for him to shatter the Hechi Star and take away the Black King’s corpse and the Golden Mark.
However, the Blue Knight did not make any movements in the galaxy. He was still standing outside Hechi Star. At this moment, he looked at the star in front of him and could not help but frown. He was a little hesitant.
“Should I retreat?”
He stood where he was and looked at the figures of Philip and Chen Heng. He could feel the immense and terrifying aura akin to that of a G.o.d and a devil. He could not help but feel a desire to retreat.
Philip’s strength was not weaker than his. Even when he was at his peak, he did not have complete confidence that he could take him down if he fought with him.
Moreover, he was not at his peak. Although the wounds from the battle with the Evil King were still there, and even though they had weakened after the ma.s.sacre, they were still somewhat affected.
His battle strength was not as strong as before, and it was more or less affected.
Moreover, even if his battle strength were still at its peak, he would be at a disadvantage at this moment. After all, there was still Chen Heng at the side.
Sensing the situation in front of him, he was somewhat hesitant and wanted to retreat.
“We can still try for a moment.”
A voice came from beside his ear and suddenly sounded at this moment.
Hearing this voice, the Blue Knight was stunned, then his expression changed drastically. “Brother?”
“It’s me.”
An unknown voice came from the void. This voice sounded very indifferent. It was like a G.o.d in the sky, cold and detached. Just by listening to this voice, one could feel the person’s aura behind this voice. It was so indifferent and terrifying.
At this moment, the expression of the Blue Knight finally changed. “You are here too?”
The Blue Knight’s att.i.tude was very solemn. At this moment, he subconsciously used the honorific t.i.tle.
Because at this moment, the person who spoke in his ear was none other than the other Five Knights. The leader of the Five Knights, the Twilight Knight.
The Twilight Knight was the most special existence among the Five Knights. Even though there were the so-called Five Knights, there was always a difference between the strong and the weak among them. It was just that usually, no one would submit to anyone verbally.
‘The Twilight Knight was an exception. He was the undisputed leader and the most powerful existence among the Five Knights. He had once led the Five Knights to rise, and he had once suppressed and fought against the Golden King.
He was powerful and was no different from a king. If one said that the strength of the Crimson Knight and the Blue Knight was only close to that of a king, they could barely reach the level of a king. Then the Twilight Knight’s strength was the true king.
His strength was no different from a king. Even if a true king revived and fought with him, they wouldn’t be able to take him down truly.
There were all sorts of legends regarding his existence. However, no matter what its legend, he was terrifying and powerful.
This was a living legend. Even the Blue Knight, a Five Knight, had to lower his head and show respect when facing this existence.
“Why are you here?”
Standing on the spot, the Blue Knight asked with a respectful expression.
“When you went to suppress the Evil King, I had a premonition that something unexpected would happen, so I deliberately left a mark on you to deal with special situations…”
In the air, the Twilight Knight’s voice sounded indifferent as before, as if there was no emotion.
“Isee.”
Only then did the Blue Knight understand.
“But what I didn’t expect was that the pursuit of the Evil King was smooth, but something unexpected happened before my eyes.”
In the Blue Knight’s mind, the Twilight Knight’s voice sounded directly.
“This mark of mine contains a part of my power.
“After receiving this power, your strength will increase, and you will be able to reach the King’s Domain in a short time…
“The rest is up to you.”
An indifferent voice continued to ring out in the air. Following that, a transformation began to take place in the body of the Blue Knight.
Ahuge amount of power was being released. A torrent surged out from the body of the Blue Knight, continuously was.h.i.+ng his body and strengthening his strength.
With a rumble, the surrounding s.p.a.ce was distorted, and chaotic currents surged out. Standing in the galaxy, the Blue Knight’s body showed some changes. On his forehead, a mark appeared.
‘That mark seemed unique and mysterious. At first glance, it seemed to have some similarities with the Golden Mark, but there was also a big difference. On it, a King’s Power that was completely different from the Golden Power surged out and was displayed.
Bang!
The starry sky was boiling. At this moment, not only the Hechi Star in front of him, even the other stars that were countless light years away were affected. The King’s Power shook the galaxy and directly covered the entire Hechi Starfield, causing a violent impact.
“This power…”
After the power in the Mark of Twilight was completely digested, the Blue Knight calmed his mind and subconsciously waved his hand, slightly trembling.
Even though he was infinitely close to a king, the true King’s Power surpa.s.sed his expectations. At this moment, the Blue Knight felt that he was almost invincible, and his power suddenly expanded by an unknown number of times.
If he were to fight the Evil King now, he would only need a few strikes to suppress the Evil King. There was no need for him to expend so much effort and exhaust his mind like before.
“This power…”
‘The Blue Knight’s lips twitched. Then, he raised his head and looked at Hechi Star in front of him. The azure spear, which had been silent and dimmed, had reappeared at some point. Under the will of the Blue Knight, it charged forward once again and exploded with a terrifying power.
Compared to the power that had spread out before, the power contained in the azure spear was even more terrifying. When the long spear stabbed out, it was as if it was going to destroy the world. It was so terrifying that it made people feel suffocated.
The light blue light gradually covered everything, as if it was going to break the defense outside the Hechi Star and kill Philip and Chen Heng. On the vast altar, Chen Heng frowned as he felt the power contained in this attack.
“His power has become stronger…”
He looked up at the sky and watched the azure spear stab down. At this moment, he could not help but feel puzzled. He had watched the battle between the Evil King and the Blue Knight from the beginning to the end.
‘Therefore, he already had some understanding of the Blue Knight’s strength. The Blue Knight’s strength was very strong. However, it was nowhere near this level.
‘Was there any special fortuitous encounter? Or was there some special method to temporarily increase one’s battle strength? In that instant, all sorts of thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.
At this moment, the Blue Knight’s strength was no different from a king’s. The nature of that power was very similar to the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body.
However, even so, Chen Heng wasn’t worried. The Blue Knight had its own method to increase its own strength, but how could they not have it? Especially the Hechi Star before them, which was still their home ground.
‘Waves of whispers were heard. On the entire Hechi Star, cheers and prayers rang out. People were shouting the name of the Red Lotus King, praising his achievements, calling for him to appear and fight against the Blue Knight who had attempted to destroy the star and bring about the end of the world.
Amidst the many calls, Philip finally had some reaction. At the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters, Philip watched the Blue Knight’s attack. He sat upon his throne and took a step forward.
In an instant, he arrived at another area. He stood in midair and waved his hand.
Rumble!
“What’s going on?”
“The Earth has split open!”
At this moment, waves of exclamations sounded out.
The people felt the changes on the Hechi Star and cried out. They did not understand what had happened. A ma.s.sive power bloomed.
At this moment, the domain that had covered the entire Hechi star area started to change. The runes on it started to show themselves. As if it was affected by this power, the entire Hechi star area had many runes flas.h.i.+ng everywhere. Beams of light were left behind.
‘Those runes appeared from the ruins. Some of them rushed out from underground.
“This is…”
On the vast altar, Lu Yao looked at the scene before her and couldn’t help but be stunned.
She was extremely familiar with those vast runes. Those runes were none other than the runes of the Black King’s formation. However, in terms of quant.i.ty, there were many more.
Compared to these runes before her, the Black King’s formation that Lu Yao and the others had activated before seemed to be less than one-tenth of it. These were the runes and formations left behind by the past kings on this planet.
As the home of the Black King and the center of the Hechi Starfield in the distant era, the defensive power of the Hechi Starfield was naturally not to be underestimated.
At its peak, a king had once set up a formation on this planet, directly enveloping the entire planet and protecting it under the power of the king.
Although the king had already disappeared, the remaining magic formations still existed and remained silent. The world might have long forgotten these magic formations. Many of them were buried underground or even in ancient ruins.
But at this moment, under Philip’s call, these magic formations had all been revived. They were all displayed, once again functioning to protect this planet.
Avast amount of power soared into the sky, all added to Philip’s body. His aura soared into the sky at this moment, and it was exceptionally terrifying.
He did not seem much weaker even if he was compared to the Blue Knight, who was unrivaled.
“How is this possible?”
Outside the star, the Blue Knight looked at the scene before him and could not help but be stunned. He felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. “How can the Black King’s magic formation be?”
Theoretically speaking, a formation can be mastered if one has sufficient attainments. However, the king’s formation that enveloped the entire constellation had its instincts. Ordinary people would not be able to master it, let alone activate it so easily.
‘The Black King had already pa.s.sed away. At this juncture, how did the other party do it?
The Blue Knight was puzzled, but then he was stunned. That was because he felt a familiar aura from Philip’s body. Wisps of aura spread out. On Philip’s body, the aura of the Black King’s Ceremony spread out and rushed into the sky. That aura revealed a lot of information in an instant.
“You are the successor of the Black King!”
The Blue Knight’s expression changed, and he finally understood. The Red Lotus King in front of him was the Black King’s successor. It was no wonder that he could activate the Black King’s formation and even achieve such a level.
Because he was the Black King’s successor, he was naturally very familiar with the Black King’s various inheritances. He could achieve such a level.
After coming to this conclusion, the killing intent in the Blue Knight’s heart grew even more intense. He waved the spear in his hand and charged forward.
He attacked with anger. His strength had reached its peak. He took advantage of the moment when the magic formation had just been raised, and its strength was still weak to attack. This forced Philip to face this attack head-on and receive it.
If he could not take it, then everything would naturally be over. There was no need to mention anything else after that. This was an earth-shattering moment.
On the Hechi Star, everyone who could feel this scene was terrified. They heaved a sigh of relief and silently prayed for Philip. However, Philip’s expression was very calm in the face of this attack.
Standing in midair, he looked at the azure spear stabbing down in front of him. His expression was still indifferent and calm as if what was stabbing down in front of him was not an azure spear but an ordinary thing.
‘What was he doing?
At this moment, everyone could not help but feel puzzled. They did not understand what Philip was thinking. However, they quickly understood.
A strange phenomenon occurred just as the azure spear was about to pierce through Chen Heng.
Boom!
‘A powerful aura shot up into the sky, and the dried-up Qi Blood burned once again. A sarcophagus began to shake on a vast altar and let out a spontaneous roar.
This sarcophagus was none other than the one that buried the Black King. After the previous confrontation, this sarcophagus fell silent. There was no more special reaction.
Until now, this sarcophagus had changed again. The lid of the sarcophagus was vibrating, as if something inside was about to leave and rise from the sarcophagus.
In the next moment, under the gazes of Lu Yao and the others, the sarcophagus opened. A figure walked out of it. Even though he was skinny and looked like an ordinary old man, his unrivaled aura was so powerful that it was terrifying.
He walked out from the sarcophagus and took a step forward. He arrived at the horizon and stood in front of Philip. Facing the blue spear, he swung his fist and met it head-on. The next moment, the spear and the Black King’s palm collided.
Bang!
A terrifying sound reverberated and exploded at this moment. On the altar, Ye Zi suppressed the fear and palpitations in her heart. She barely raised her head, but she could only see a scene.
‘The spear and a skinny palm collided head-on and pierced through the palm in the galaxy. Dark blood dripped onto the ground, turning the mountain ranges into a sea of blood.
However, the long azure spear was also sent flying under this attack, unable to advance any further..
