Chapter 279 Battle Against the Limits of the King

"Human, the King of the Heart Prison?"

Turo and Wang both stared at Ye Yang, their expressions quite solemn.

Although they were both quite confident in their abilities and believed that the two of them working together to take down a peak-level King who was skilled in souls would not have much of a problem, they could only be cautious for the sake of caution!

After all, the attacks of a Soul Master are extremely terrifying.

Therefore, we cannot give any chance—

"What is it?" Ye Yang looked at them quietly.

"I want to make a deal with you—"

King Turo seemed to be talking to Ye Yang, but as soon as he got close to the strongest attack range, the peak King-level expert behind him immediately made a move and used the time-stopping technique!

Click~

As if frozen, a large area around Ye Yang's figure quickly darkened and solidified.

However, just as ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring, Ye Yang, who always had his spacetime resonance talent technique activated, sensed the fluctuations in the laws of time the moment that peak-level King made his move.

The figure then flickered continuously, traversing time and space, but each flicker covered a short distance, only a few hundred meters.

But the tens of thousands of flashes combined allowed him to leave that time-frozen area in the blink of an eye.

"Teleportation?!" The peak-level King who had used Time Stop looked at King Turo with surprise.

"It's not teleportation, my spatial blockade is still open! Unless he's a spatial master, it's impossible for him to teleport in this area!" King Turo's eyes widened in disbelief.

However, both of them vaguely sensed that at that moment, the Lord of the Heart Prison seemed to have simultaneously activated the laws of time and space, as if flowing in water, and lightly flashed tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Rather than teleportation, it's more like a special movement technique.

Beneath the silver mask, Ye Yang smiled.

Even if he was inferior to either of the two in his understanding of the laws of time or space, he ultimately grasped the essence of all the laws of time and space.

By leveraging the unique nature of the spacetime fusion principle and combining the laws of time and space, it is not difficult to create the 'appearance' of a special movement technique.

"Even under spatial lockdown, I can still instantly traverse vast distances. This is too incredible and too abnormal. Even a Space Venerable probably wouldn't understand it. I can't easily reveal this."

Ye Yang thought to himself, "The only way to conceal my secret is to disguise myself with some special, heaven-defying movement technique, so that it can be exposed at a crucial moment! And now is that crucial moment!"

The Immortal Queen "Nan Cheng" possessed numerous powerful soul servants. After she acquired the Star-Sealing Realm, she entrusted it to her subordinates. Surrounded by a large number of soul servants and immortal insectoids, even if one had the strength to defeat the soul servant in charge of the Star-Sealing Realm, it would be difficult to take it away.

Refining and mastering the ability to seal stars also takes time!

Such a treasure is extremely dangerous and a great threat to the Southern Punishment forces! But if we seize it now that King Turo is alone, we will have one less problem when facing the Southern Punishment in the future.

"His movement technique is so strange! My secret technique can't track and lock onto him at all, I can't keep up!" The peak-level King beside King Turo was already doing his best, scanning and locking onto Ye Yang with the fastest mental speed.

However, how fast Ye Yang's blinking speed was? And how completely unpredictable were his changes in location?

The ability to stop time is indeed a powerful technique. As long as one's understanding of the laws and one's power surpass that of the enemy, one can even keep the enemy trapped in the stopped time.

After the outside world has prepared countless deadly moves, and then time is allowed to flow again, it will be very difficult for the enemy to escape.

However, even the most powerful secret techniques have limited range of effect. If the range of effect cannot cover the enemy, then it's essentially useless and a waste of time.

"Hmph, I'll help you!"

King Turo snorted coldly and waved his hand to release a small round bead.

This bead was a miniature planet, but as King Turo released it, it continued to grow larger, almost instantly becoming the size of a normal planet!

Of course, this sphere with a diameter of over 10,000 kilometers is still tiny compared to the heteromagnetic star beneath our feet.

But for Ye Yang's human body, it was already overwhelming, occupying the entire field of vision!

As you can see, the mountains above the stars rise and fall, and in the distance, several powerful kings are being suppressed in this star world.

"Trying to intimidate others with your power?"

Ye Yang sneered.

Indeed, under the oppressive force of this precious star-sealing artifact, time and space are frozen, creating a spatial sealing effect.

Moreover, the power of this spatial seal is far stronger than the secret technique cast by King Turo himself! If King Turo were a cosmic venerable, manipulating the suppressive force formed by this sealed star would probably prevent even ordinary spatial venerables from teleporting.

But so what?

Ye Yang's figure continued to flash frequently, and countless complex patterns rose on the surface of his silver armor, resembling countless fine scales.

A unique and profound artistic conception emanated from it...

Despite the terrifying suppressive force that sealed off the stars, the silver figure still moved around with ease!

"How is this possible?" King Turo was more than just shocked when he saw that even his attempt to seal the stars had failed.

"The instant his figure appeared, he was indeed affected by your suppressing force and was rapidly falling towards the sealed star—however, before he could be absorbed and suppressed by the sealed star, he flashed away from his original spot! In fact, with the change of position, he completely canceled out the gravitational force of the sealed star!"

The peak-level expert next to him exclaimed in shock.

The sealing of the star generates immense suppressive and suction forces. Any powerful individual weaker than King Turo will be forced into the sealed world within the star, never to escape.

But this King of the Heart Prison was able to use the force against him, using this heaven-defying movement technique to neutralize the pulling force of the star-sealing spell!

"Still in shock? You're next!"

Ye Yang's eyes flashed, and in the next moment he appeared within 10,000 meters of the peak-level alien king.

Pick the softest persimmons and squeeze them, or you'll hurt your finger!

"How dare you?!" King Turo roared in fury.

The helper his master sent to assist him this time was only at the peak of the King-level, and this Heart Prison King was also at the peak of the King-level, but he was extremely skilled in soul attacks!

If he were to unleash even a fraction of his divine power to launch a soul attack, his henchmen would likely be unable to withstand it.

However, because Turo King's helper needed to use time stop to control Ye Yang, he was already more than ten kilometers away from Turo King. Although this distance was insignificant to a King-level expert, it was almost like he was right next to him.

However, the place where the Heart Prison King suddenly appeared was in the direction of the extended line between the two, closest to the peak King-level cultivator and furthest from the Tu Luo King!

It was this brief delay that allowed Ye Yang's illusory world power to blast into the body of that peak-level immortal being, as countless chains of imprisonment were unleashed from the world projection.

"Die!!!" King Turo reacted extremely quickly, directly unleashing a spatial strangulation attack on the area where Ye Yang was located.

However, Ye Yang had already disappeared.

Turo King's peak-level henchman fell straight down.

With a sweep of his divine power, King Turo knew that it was just an empty shell of a divine body, and that the soul imprint on every inch of that divine body had completely disappeared.

He died just like that.

"How could he be so strong? He didn't burn any divine power at all just now, yet his soul attack instantly killed a peak-level King?" King Turo realized something was wrong.

This King of the Heart Prison was not at all the prey they had previously imagined as "somewhat threatening but not very big".

Not only is the soul attack powerful, but the movement technique is also so heaven-defying that it can even evade and neutralize the suction and suppressing force of the star-sealing technique!

With its deadly attacks and slippery nature, this Heart Prison King's strength has definitely reached the limit of the King-level, and it belongs to the very powerful group among the King-level experts!

Even—approaching the level of those who are unparalleled among other king-level powerhouses, such as "Southern Punishment," "Mysterious Tomb King," and "Tower Dragon King"?

"No! Impossible! How could such a powerful being remain unknown all this time? If it had only recently risen to prominence—"

There's no reason for it to grow so rapidly!

King Turo was getting anxious. He knew that if he couldn't suppress this human "Heart Prison King" this time, he might never have another chance.

"The limit of being a king; those who can reach this level all possess some special skills."

Ye Yang continuously traveled short distances through time and space, but his eyes remained fixed on the Tu Luo King, searching for a flaw.

"In terms of understanding the laws, many King-level limit cultivators are not much different from most King-level peak cultivators; their understanding of the laws is around the 20th level of the Bridge to Heaven. The difference between the two levels is more due to other factors."

"For example, the amplitude of a divine body or soul, with a base strength more than ten times that of other peak-level Kings, naturally qualifies as having entered the limit level of a King. If one creates some terrifying secret technique with immense power, causing their strength to surge more than tenfold, that can also reach the limit of a King."

"Only those who are invincible at the King level possess no significant weaknesses in attack, physical defense, soul defense, movement techniques, and many other aspects. They can survive even at the hands of a Venerable while still holding the King's title. That is true invincibility at the King level!"

Ye Yang had already understood the power of Turo King's spatial strangulation technique through the exchange just now.

It's very powerful, hundreds of times stronger than what a typical high-level king would unleash!

There is a strong possibility that King Turo's strength lies in his divine body or secret arts!

They created their own powerful secret techniques, or learned some kind of divine body amplitude secret technique.

These offer no benefit to soul defense.

"A guy who can be enslaved by Nan Cheng's soul can't have an invincible will. I have to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise, even with the armor that reduces the power of physical attacks by 90%, I will still have a hard time withstanding his attacks, given my defensive capabilities."

Ye Yang knew that his life gene multiplier was only 3600 times, which, although incredibly powerful, was only equivalent to the level of a common marquis.

Only through soul amplitude and self-created peak secret techniques can he possess the ability to threaten the limits of the King-level.

Defense is his weakness.

"Damn it! What kind of skill is it to keep running away?" King Turo roared, and with a wave of his hand, the sealing star in the sky crashed down.

"My God! King Turo has really gone mad!" King Firefly and King Wood, who had already fled millions of kilometers away, were secretly watching this scene.

Seeing that enormous planet carrying terrifying power crashing down, one feels a long-lost sense of weakness and powerlessness.

Ordinary celestial bodies, even if a star were to fall on them, would not even make them blink as powerful beings who have reached the King level.

But this is a star-sealing artifact! How could someone survive being hit by something like that?

boom!

Countless rocks shattered and flew away instantly, and the molten magnetic material was drawn into beautiful threads under the powerful magnetic field of the alien planet.

The star that caused all of this remained completely unharmed.

"Hmm?" King Turo, who had just burned his divine power to unleash a massive attack on the Star-Sealing Star, discovered that King Heart Prison was nowhere to be seen.

"Was he crushed to death? His divine body was completely annihilated? Impossible, how could he be crushed to death so easily?" This thought flashed through King Turo's mind.

In that instant, his years of combat experience told him that when the enemy suddenly disappears during a battle, that is when he is in the most danger!

Without the slightest hesitation, King Turo immediately unleashed his divine power once more.

Clang~

Numerous chains appeared in the void, instantly piercing through King Turo's body. Countless chains extended from all directions, as if the entire world had bound King Turo to its center.

Of course—these chains were just an illusion; the physical defenses of the Turo King's divine body were not something Ye Yang could shake.

The Prison Suppression Secret Technique is still somewhat effective against ordinary high-level Kings, but against peak Kings—Ye Yang just tried it, and the effect was greatly reduced.

After all, he only mastered the first level of the secret technique. In theory, an ordinary immortal would need to master the third level to reach the limit of kingship combat power!

Only through its exceptionally powerful world projection and soul amplitude could it threaten the pinnacle of the King-level realm.

At this moment, dealing with King Turo would only have a slight, temporary impact.

But that one moment was enough; Ye Yang had already unleashed his ultimate technique.

"Shaking the Seas!!!"

His soul roared as he unleashed this soul attack with all his might, which was also an attack on the level of consciousness!

King Turo burned his divine body in advance, making him more resistant to the penetration of soul power (the power of the illusory world). Ye Yang could clearly feel that his attack was immediately weakened several times upon entering the opponent's divine body.

However, in terms of soul defense, this Turo King is not much stronger than a peak-level King!

As soon as Ye Yang's soul power penetrated into the body of the Turo King God, it immediately spread out in large swaths, wrapping around the soul imprints of every microscopic structure within his divine body.

Meanwhile, King Turo's main consciousness had already entered an illusion the moment Ye Yang attacked.

"Get out of my way!!!" King Turo roared, but this illusory space-time was based on the law of space-time fusion and was extremely stable. Even though his understanding of the laws of space far surpassed Ye Yang's, he could not find any flaws.

In terms of willpower, Ye Yang was no weaker than him, and might even be slightly stronger.

King Turo was unable to break free from this illusion immediately.

Then, a golden sun sets in the sky.

In reality, King Turo used the Star-Sealing Technique to attack Ye Yang, but in this illusion, everything was reversed.

"What is this?" King Turo felt the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the golden star. The incredibly real and terrifyingly profound laws gave him a sense of oppression equivalent to that of a cosmic lord.

"No! This is an illusion! Everything is fake!" He shook his head hurriedly, but even though he knew he was in an illusion, he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake.

Using the Dao Evolution Diagram as a medium, the Lord of Chaos City set up 1000 challenges for Ye Yang, representing 1000 increasingly powerful enemies.

In the process of defeating them, Ye Yang also gained a lot of valuable insights, which became one of the foundations of this ultimate technique.

Even a powerful figure like King Turo, who had reached the pinnacle of power, could no longer distinguish between the real and the fake.

"impossible-"

Even with all his power, King Turo could not shake that star in the slightest.

Knowing it's fake, yet feeling it's real.

It seems that it's not the world that's deceiving me, but I'm deceiving myself—this is clearly the truth!

Boom!

Jin Yang suddenly devoured King Tu Luo.

King Turo shuddered violently, and opened his eyes with a hint of fear in them.

"I...I'm not dead! My divine body!" Before he could even feel relieved, terror filled his eyes: "How could my divine body have lost 29%?!"
