Chapter 1138: Boundary of the Nameless True King
Bang –
Above his head, the blood column began to rise. It soon broke past a terrifying height of 2000 feet.
200 feet was three times less than 600 feet. And 600 feet was around a third of 2000 feet. These numbers seemed similar, but the base was different.
The visual effect was far too compelling. The terrifying aura that erupted from the center of the Chosen Platform was so strong it shook the heart.
Even Cloud Boundless and the others on the edge of the field felt a formidable suppression. His lips twitched as he begged inwardly for Qin Yu to stop showing off!
He was fierce, but he couldn’t withstand so much turbulence.
Yet in fact, this scene was just the beginning of showing off. Because the blood column above Qin Yu’s head did something even more extreme – it recklessly crushed the blood columns above the heads of Blue Sea, Xi Mo, and the others!
That’s right, ‘crushed’ wasn’t wrong, but was an appropriate word to use.
Pa –
The contender whose blood column only reached 110 feet, as weak as an egg, suddenly had his blood column break apart.
He stiffened as if he received a heavy blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale as he was left weakened.
He stubbornly glared at Qin Yu. There was fear as well as endless hatred and resentment in his eyes.
Then, in less than a breath of time, a compet.i.tor with a 130 foot blood column was the next to be crushed.
Pa –
With cracking sounds, his blood column shattered!
Then a third, a fourth…all the way to the seventh person.
In the blink of an eye, besides Blue Sea and Xi Mo, all other compet.i.tors for the throne on the Chosen Platform had their blood columns ruined.
The process continued with unstoppable force and without stopping. Everyone lined up together and were finished together. As for the over 2000 foot blood column above Qin Yu’s head, there were almost no fluctuations in it as it swept over all its compet.i.tion!
“Ahh! Qin Yu, you dare!?”
“Cloud Boundless, your Old King’s Lineage has gone too far!”
“Even if you are strong, you have intentionally injured others!”
“Unforgivable!”
The protectors on the edge of the Chosen Platform all roared in anger. Their eyes locked onto Cloud Boundless as if they would spurt fire.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was too excessive!
Kacha –
Kacha –
As shattering sounds filled the air, the angry roars quickly vanished.
The blood columns above Blue Sea and Xi Mo were withstanding a terrifying pressure. They fiercely shook as cracks began to appear in them.
The two paled. They looked at Qin Yu with disbelief and ice-cold eyes!
Qin Yu’s bloodline strength far surpa.s.sed their expectations. It was because of this that the two of them were incomparably sure of one thing. They could not allow him to enter the ancestral land!
Blue Sea turned and looked at Xi Mo. In the next moment, the blood column above his head shattered and collapsed. It wasn’t that it was crushed, but that he voluntarily stopped releasing his bloodline aura.
The result was the same, but by taking the initiative to let go he could reduce the damage he received to the lowest possible degree.
Xi Mo’s eyes flashed with admiration. Although he had thought of this, he wavered. He wasn’t able to achieve Blue Sea’s decisiveness.
After all, strictly speaking, to voluntarily stop releasing his bloodline aura meant that he gave up his qualifications for the test on the Chosen Platform.
Taking a deep breath, the blood column above Xi Mo’s head disintegrated. Blood energy roiled in his chest and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Giving up on the selection of the Chosen Platform was a risk, but what if everyone lost their blood columns? Then the selection would become invalid.
Of course, to achieve that condition, Qin Yu had to be eliminated! If he was still here, he would be the only candidate who could enter the ancestral land…the throne would naturally be his.
And destroying the blood columns of all other compet.i.tors on the Chosen Platform was indeed an incredibly domineering and aggressive qualification. Even through the history of the Nightmare Clan, this had never happened before.
But with so much limelight, it was possible for things to backfire on him and for him to twist his own neck! At this time, the pale and annoyed Seven Wounds Clan Elder couldn’t help but laugh and applaud Qin Yu’s actions.
Wonderful, too wonderful!
Originally, the protectors of the various families were still hesitating, none of them wanting to attack first. But now they were all forced into a dead end and had no other choice.
Otherwise, they would be cupping their hands together and giving the throne to the Old King’s Lineage.
If two successive Nightmare Kings were born from the same family, then without a doubt, a new family that rivaled the Ancient King’s Lineage would be born.
The resulting changes would have a strong impact on the entire internal situation of the Nightmare Clan. Many people would see their interests suffer.
After all, when a ma.s.sive faction rose up to the top, it would inevitably be by standing on the corpses of countless others.
And the families that were present on the Chosen Platform today were undoubtedly on this list.
The New Faction’s protector was a thin middle-aged man. His hair was messy and scattered, and with his eyebrows as the boundary, the left side was dark and the right side was pure white.
And what was even stranger was that when he looked up, his left eye gradually turned white and his right eye turned pitch black.
The name of the New Faction’s protector was Blackwhite Visage. No one knew the specifics of how he had risen up and his true level of strength was also a mystery.
But to this day, no one who fought him had survived…this person was a peak powerhouse of the New Faction and it was rumored he could even fight against the King boundary.
The New Faction who rose up from the gra.s.sroots had the weakest background and had no formidable relations.h.i.+ps. The reason they were able to keep pace with the Ancient King’s Lineage and the Old King’s Lineage was that their peak combat strength was sufficient.
A dangerous aura was released from Blackwhite Visage. It locked onto Cloud Boundless, causing his complexion to become dignified.
To not enter the King boundary and yet have strength comparable to an Abyssal King, this was a difficult road found beneath the limit of the abyss’ will that was paved by countless powerhouses spending innumerable years.
Each person’s path was different, but as long as they stepped in, they could enter the boundary of the Nameless True King while having the prestige of a true King.
Cloud Boundless was at the edge of this threshold. He was just half a step from stepping onto this road…and Blackwhite Visage should be even stronger. He could be said to have stepped onto this path already.
But for some unknown reason, Blackwhite Visage’s aura wasn’t complete, resulting in a flaw within his strength so that he didn’t achieve the boundary of the Nameless True King.
Today on the Chosen Platform, including Seven Wounds Clan Elder, all of the protectors here were absolute powerhouses of the Nightmare Clan.
But the only one who Cloud Boundless dreaded was Blackwhite Visage…now, he was clearly unable to hold back any longer and chose to take action.
Seven Wounds Clan Elder coldly said, “Cloud Boundless, did you really think the Old King’s Lineage could do whatever they wanted? You shall pay the price today!”
He stepped forward. Terrifying killing intent burst out and he raced at Cloud Boundless.
While he was sick, take his life!
Now that Blackwhite Visage had moved, this was undoubtedly the best chance to get rid of Cloud Boundless. He couldn’t miss out on it!
If he killed Cloud Boundless, he could resolve the hatred in his heart and cut off one of the arms of the Old King’s Lineage…but the most important reason was that he could sever all chances of Qin Yu entering the ancestral land!
A contender for the throne who lost their protector…their only fate was to die without a burial ground!
“Hold on!” Cloud Boundless shouted out loud. He took out the Black Token. “Blackwhite Visage, you should know what this is. If you join together with these people, I will immediately use it against you!”
Blackwhite Visage was expressionless. “You think I am afraid?”
Cloud Boundless shook his head, “No, I understand your strength. You are stronger than me. The most likely result is that I will be struck down by you.”
Blackwhite Visage lightly said, “The one that will die is you.”
Cloud Boundless said, “But you will also be injured.” He paused and looked around, his voice deepening, “If I know I am going to die, even I don’t know what sort of strength I can erupt with in the end. You absolutely cannot retreat intact.
“If you are injured in today’s situation, do you think someone won’t take this chance to sneak attack you? Even if they cannot kill, kicking the New Faction out of contention isn’t difficult. After all, the New Faction has risen too quickly, and you have too many enemies lurking in the shadows.”
Blackwhite Visage frowned. He looked over, “What do you want to say?”
Cloud Boundless snapped his fingers, “Simple! None of us will interfere in what happens next. We will let these juniors figure things out on their own…”
Seven Wounds Clan Elder coldly sneered, interrupting him. “Cloud Boundless, stop playing with words. Are you trying to delay for time? Let me tell you–”
Bang –
He suddenly stopped speaking as he was sent flying away. Cloud Boundless drew back his fist. “Seven Wounds, if you dare speak to me again I will immediately use this Black Token and I will kill you no matter the price!”
b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Seven Wounds Clan Elder felt as if his lungs were going to explode. This old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Cloud Boundless was clearly at a disadvantage, so how could he be so arrogant and rampant to attack him…
But the strength behind that fist was far too great. Seven Wounds Clan Elder felt his chest tumble as the taste of blood filled his mouth. Even as rage flooded his heart, he shook a little.
Ignoring Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s angry expression, Cloud Boundless looked around. “Of course, if any of you object, you can speak up…there is only one Black Token, so I can only kill one person…it will all depend on who is the most selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves to help others.”
Everyone’s faces stiffened.
Everyone understood Cloud Boundless’ strength, Besides Blackwhite Visage, who could guarantee they were a match for him?
If this was normal times then they would have some scruples when they came into conflict. In a situation where there was room to retreat, engaging in a minor scuffle wasn’t a big problem.
But now, it was clear that Cloud Boundless was willing to go all-out…if the Black Token was released, someone would perish. It would not end until someone paid with their death!
The atmosphere fell silent.
Seven Wounds Clan Elder roared inwardly. Here it was! Here it was again!
This d.a.m.ned Cloud Boundless, he threatened again and again and it was the same two moves. The first was that he had no concern for his face and the second was to say he was going all-out. But at this time, these two moves had an incredible effect. Looking at everyone’s faces it was easy to see they were frightened.
The most critical Blackwhite Visage was also moved…how hateful, his thoughts of using this chance to get rid of Cloud Boundless would fail!
It was just that Seven Wounds Clan Elder forgot that he was also one of the frightened people.
“Good, I agree.” Blackwhite Visage took a step back, his expression faint, “You all heard him. If you desire the throne, fight for it yourself.”
At the center of the Chosen Platform, the contenders with the crushed blood columns all looked at Qin Yu, ice cold intent in their eyes.
Cloud Boundless used this all-out method to hold back the other protectors, but so what? If the nine of them attacked together, could they not kill Qin Yu?
As long as he died, the selection would restart!
