Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 251 Withstood It

"snort!"

Ning Ze gave a disdainful, cold laugh.

He couldn't win by fighting head-on, and he couldn't escape by running away. The battle would drag on, and as the divine power of the Moyun Vine was annihilated, he would be in danger sooner or later.

But since it's sooner or later, then it's time!

His attack is weak, but his defense is not!

Xiaotianwang's attacks are strong, even capable of breaking through his defenses, but his defenses may not be as good as his!

"Roaring King, keep chasing! I hope you can keep chasing forever!"

Xiaotianwang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but he did not speak again.

As it flew at high speed, it raised a bright red claw and waved it slightly in space. At that moment, countless bright red claw shadows condensed in front of it. Streams of spatial laws converged on these claw shadows, and surging immortal divine power burst forth. These claw shadows also continued to grow, eventually becoming larger than a planet millions of kilometers in size, standing in the sky and enveloping Ning Ze.

"Boom!"

Xiaotianwang swung his claws forward, and countless claw shadows fell from the sky. It was as if half of the sky had collapsed, and the space shattered with a creak. The claws, brimming with boundless power, slammed towards Ning Ze.

"This strength is even more terrifying than I imagined! His powerful claws can actually attack from a distance!"

Ning Ze's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He hadn't expected this at all. He had always thought that Xiao Tianwang was a martial artist who could only attack at close range. He thought that as long as he couldn't catch up with him, he could withstand the slight power of the attack from a distance.

However, he never expected that the special power of this treasure claw was to evolve claw shadows and increase the attack range, making this attack no different from a full-force attack!

A powerful strike that makes him invincible!

"Hengyu!"

"The Wheel of Time!"

Ning Ze immediately sheathed his longsword. Under such a terrifying attack, his attack would have no blocking effect at all and would be annihilated instantly.

Only by fully utilizing his defensive secret techniques and relying on the power of the Hengyu Xunlie Armor could he possibly withstand it.

The first layer of secret runes on the Hengyu Xunlie Armor was fully activated, and bluish-gray light and shadow bloomed on the sword marks and knife marks. These light and shadow flew out from the armor and continued to rotate around his body, as if he was surrounded by endless attacks, forming a hazy phantom of the armor.

A sliver of silver light flowed from Ning Ze's body, growing more and more until it coalesced into intricate and mysterious patterns that eventually covered his entire body. A silver-white disc also appeared beneath his feet—this was his Time Wheel Defense Technique.

Boom boom boom!

The vast claw shadows gripped Ning Ze's body. The secret technique, formed by the near-perfect spatial laws and the power of a peak world lord ten million times, was as heavy as an enormous mountain range. It crashed down, and endless roars erupted on the Hengyu Xunlie Armor.

The illusory image of the war-torn armor seemed to be on a completely different level from these attacks, not even flinching. However, the terrifying power still pierced through the armor and struck Ning Ze inside.

The Moyun Vine was shattered with almost no resistance, losing a large amount of divine power in an instant, and then the terrifying attack landed on Ning Ze.

puff!

The silver-white disc beneath Ning Ze's feet shattered, and terrifying power raged across his body. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and blood flowed from the corner of his upturned mouth.

"Hahaha!"

"Howling Heavenly King! I withstood it! I just wonder how much divine power you burned in this attack?"

Ning Ze was overjoyed, as his enforcement state countered the boost from the opponent's burning divine power.

He had considered his current situation before: his foundation was weak, his physique and laws were not particularly advantageous, his attack was still able to threaten the peak of the King-level, and his defense could only rely on the Hengyu Xunlie Armor.

The attack has reached its limit. To improve, one can only rely on enhancing one's understanding of the laws, or the more difficult laws of spacetime fusion.

However, he hasn't reached his limit in terms of defense yet!

Currently, with the Hengyu Xunlie Armor as his most powerful asset, defense is his strongest weapon!

He cannot burn divine power, so any attack that exceeds his tolerance will shake his inner world. His inner world may be much stronger than that of an ordinary person, but it still cannot withstand the attack of an immortal.

Faced with the invincible King, he is weak. So, by constantly strengthening his defense and making it comparable to the invincible King, he can naturally stand safely on this terrifying extraterrestrial battlefield.

Therefore, he used the principle of spacetime fusion to create this "Wheel of Time".

Its power is similar to his spacetime combined attack, which is the peak level of the King-level!

Xiaotianwang is indeed powerful, possessing the powerful treasure claw, and can fully unleash the power of this treasure, making him terrifyingly strong.

However, even with such a full-force attack, passing through the Hengyu Xunlie Armor weakened by a hundred times, then through the Moyun Vine, and finally attacking his body, the defense of the peak King level was enough to ensure his safety. His body was only slightly shaken, but he could recover with a turn of the world's power!

Xiaotian King scoffed, "Xun Sword King, you don't need to bluff. I can clearly feel that a great deal of divine power has been annihilated; your consumption is definitely lower than yours!"

"So you're the one who's been deceiving yourself. Did you feel my divine body weaken in the slightest?" Ning Ze retorted sarcastically, while inwardly wondering, 'Mo Yun, how much divine power did you lose in that attack just now?'

"Master, I lost less than one ten-thousandth of my divine power," the Moyun Vine replied in his mind.

"One in ten thousand!" Ning Ze's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't felt that the Mo Yun Vine was much weaker, but he hadn't expected that so many divine bodies would be annihilated. This was an auxiliary life form comparable to the size of the sun, and the strength of its soul imprint was comparable to the peak of the King-Sealing stage!

Even with such a massive divine body, after being weakened by the Hengyu Xunlie Armor, Xiaotian King was essentially wielding a powerful treasure at the peak of the King-level. His terrifying power still annihilated one ten-thousandth of Moyun Teng's divine body.

If it were an ordinary peak-level King, they would probably be annihilated by this attack.

"This Howling King's secret technique must be at the pinnacle of martial arts; no wonder he's hailed as an invincible king."

Xiaotianwang carefully sensed Ning Ze's divine power aura and found that it had not weakened at all, which he found hard to believe.

Because of its enormous divine body, it required the burning of divine power equal to the height of a person to unleash this move, yet it did not even weaken the opponent's aura in the slightest.

Its secret techniques, divine power, and understanding of laws, as well as its body's amplification, are all top-notch. It also possesses powerful treasures and sharp claws, making it a pinnacle in all aspects. How could a human with ten times the strength of a weaker god withstand it?

Suddenly, the Howling Sky King noticed the armor Ning Ze was wearing. A thought flashed through its mind: 'If it's a valuable treasure, he definitely can't be unharmed, but what if it's a supreme treasure!'

Once the words "treasure" appeared in its mind, the thought could no longer be suppressed!

If they still have a chance to obtain valuable treasures, then supreme treasures are something they crave but cannot reach!

The secret realms where those treasures are born are incredibly terrifying. At the very least, only a Venerable can enter. Although he is an invincible King, he can only wander around the entrance. The probability of obtaining a treasure is zero, even if he tries his best!

Even among the Venerables, many do not possess supreme treasures, so it is impossible for someone like him, who is barely comparable to the weakest Venerable and is invincible as a King, to have one!

At this moment, Xiaotianwang understood everything. Its eyes were bloodshot as it stared at Ning Ze's armor, its gaze filled with greed.

Swish!

It raised another claw and attacked Ning Ze with all its might.

The scene was almost exactly the same as before. Its most powerful attack only made Ning Ze spit out a mouthful of blood. His physical aura did not weaken in the slightest, but it could sense the power of annihilation.

"Hahaha, Sword King Xun! I know your secret. You were only able to withstand my attacks because of your peak-level King-level support life!"

"Let's see how many more times you can hold out!"

Rumble!

Xiaotianwang unleashed one claw after another, each time with full force.

Ning Ze silently defended himself, silently chanting in his mind.

10...

9...

8...

……

2...

1...

Ning Ze smiled slightly. "Thank you, King Xiaotian, for blasting me out of your attack range!"

Under normal circumstances, even the strongest beings cannot exceed the speed of light. However, in special cases such as teleportation, wormholes, energy tides, arcane attacks, and telekinetic weapon attacks, the definition of speed can be said to have changed.

In layman's terms, with each attack, Ning Ze would be blasted further away by the energy surge, and the distance between him and Xiaotianwang would increase.

He has now escaped the attack range of the Howling Sky King!

Damn it!

"I'm getting impatient!"

Filled with remorse, Xiaotian King bared his teeth at Ning Ze, his crimson wolf eyes gleaming with a sinister light. "Xun Sword King, you're nothing but a lingering ghost! I'll catch up with you sooner or later!"

It knew perfectly well what Ning Ze was trying to do: to enter the Dead Sea deep within the Dead Forest Abyss and rely on the power of the environment to escape its pursuit.

"Foolish! You think you can stop me from entering the Dead Sea? I'm far more adept at navigating its environment than you are. Once inside, I'll kill you and steal your treasure!"

Neither of them spoke again. One fled ahead while the other chased behind. The two traversed the vast Dead Forest at near-light speed, shocking countless powerful figures wherever they passed.

"That's Howling King! What's he doing on the outskirts of this Dead Forest?! Oh no, he's coming! I have to run!"

"Who is Roaring Sky King chasing? That blue armor looks familiar... That's right, it's Xun Sword King!"

"King Xun is actually being chased by King Xiaotian. Why didn't he call for help? I only have the strength of a high-level King-ranking cultivator and can't help you. I can only gather some allies. Hopefully, you can hold out until King Jidian arrives!"

The inner area of ​​the Dead Forest.

A fierce battle is also taking place here, displaying power far exceeding that of Howling Sky King's strongest secret technique.

On one side were a dozen or so super strong demons, and on the other side was a majestic temple.

The combined attack of more than a dozen top-tier kings had reached the Venerable level, but even such an infinitely powerful attack was still crushed by the majestic temple. The temple crushed everything in its vastness, and even collapsed a giant mountain that was tens of millions of kilometers high.

"Get out of my way! You can't stop me!"

The King of the Supreme Palace roared, his powerful voice spreading throughout the temple. However, the dozen or so powerful demons showed no intention of backing down. With the space sealed off, he was unable to break out for the time being.

"King of the Palace! You'd better stay here obediently, or King Xun Sword will surely die this time!" A giant black eagle with a wingspan of over 1 kilometer circled above the palace, its loud voice ringing out.

"Damn it!" King Jidian thought anxiously. The princes were not the weak ones who could only fight on their own. If they encountered a strong opponent, they would be doomed.

At their level, there are quite a few powerful individuals who can teleport. When the distance becomes shorter, they can easily summon countless powerful individuals. Each of them at the peak of the King-level has their own circle, supporting and helping each other.

Over the years, Ning Ze has supported many powerful individuals through his Sky-Gazing Eye as the Xun Sword King, and he has an excellent reputation, successfully integrating into the circle of those at the peak of the King-level.

Now that the King of the Palace has received news that the Sword King of Xun is being hunted down, especially by the invincible King Xiaotian, he, as a top human figure in the third battlefield, naturally has to go to his rescue.

However, these demons were prepared and had gathered many powerful figures along the way to ambush him. Each one was no match for the Supreme King and could be easily suppressed, but when their numbers increased, it became a problem.

By the time the other human kings learned of the news, it was already too late. They were unable to gather multiple top kings and were simply no match for Howling King.

"King Xun Sword, you must hold on."

The King of the Palace roared, "You can't stop me! Charge at me!"

At this moment, he burned his divine power and poured it into the precious palace. The palace shone with countless colors of light, extremely colorful and infinitely powerful.

"Don't try to fight it head-on!" The black eagle circling overhead shouted, its gaze shifting to the brilliant light shooting towards it from afar, a look of delight appearing in its eyes.

hum!

The space trembled slightly, and countless dazzling white rays of light rushed in, suddenly attacking the Purple Extreme Palace, which was radiating divine light.

Rumble!

That was the most terrifying explosion, far more powerful than three Fire God Source Crystals. Even the Purple Extreme Palace, which was originally infinitely powerful, trembled slightly, showing how terrifying this sudden attack was.

"Si Nan!" King Ji Dian roared. Without a doubt, their human race was being targeted again. In order to eliminate King Xun Sword, the insect race and the demon race had joined forces!

In this situation, the human race is outnumbered, and no one will be able to support King Xun.

This is the consequence of making a name for oneself on foreign battlefields; if one cannot withstand an attack, it is nothing more than a flash in the pan.

hum!

The space trembled violently. Before the first wave subsided, another terrifying attack struck – a combined assault launched by tens of thousands of immortal insectoids!

The majestic temple, suspended high in the sky, swayed slightly once more.

Immediately afterwards, a series of attacks appeared, and the Purple Extreme Palace could only barely maintain its position, unable to advance any further.

From afar, an endless swarm of insects rushed in, led by a stunningly beautiful woman, Si Nan of the insect race. Behind her followed five women of perfect beauty, each of whom was an insect queen!

Six Zerg queens led the Zerg legions in an attack, and even the Supreme King, who possessed great treasures, could only defend himself.

Seeing this, the Supreme King sighed, "King Xun, this time I cannot help you either." As he said this, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The Zerg are truly arrogant, daring to place their entire Zerg army right before me. Do they really think I can't do anything to you? With King Xun dead, I will make you pay the price!"

In a year and a half, the core of the Dead Forest Abyss seemed to have become a forbidden area. Any strong person who wanted to enter would be attacked. The entire Dead Forest Abyss was filled with the flames of war, and some low-level and high-level Kings had temporarily left the place.

Meanwhile, Ning Ze had been flying for 10 years, traversing a distance of 10 light-years, and he arrived at the core of the Dead Forest Abyss, the Dead Sea.

It was a vast, boundless black sea. The Dead Sea was completely still, with wisps of black smoke rising from its surface and condensing into black death particles high in the sky.

Looking at the Dead Sea before him, Ning Ze felt an immense sense of oppression. He glanced expressionlessly at Xiaotian King behind him and said, "Now that we're here, let's see whose defense is stronger!" Then he plunged into the Dead Sea.
