Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 498 The Majesty of the King

"Child’s play!"

Ji Wuya let out a cold snort.

He didn’t even make a move, only sending forth a surge of Spiritual Power, channeling it into the Spiritual Power Defense Shield.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosive sounds emitted, as countless Spirit-breaking Arrows, number in the hundreds, struck Ji Wuya’s Spiritual Power Defense Shield.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations,

the usually efficacious Spirit-breaking Arrows couldn’t penetrate the Defense Shield; many even snapped directly upon impact.

"What, how is this possible?!"

Watching the bizarre scene in the sky, the leader of the Imperial Guard’s complexion drastically changed, exclaiming in shock.

And those Cultivators wielding Spirit-breaking Crossbows were even more dumbfounded.

They have never encountered a Cultivator who could resist Spirit-breaking Arrows with Spiritual Power alone!

"He is... a Palace Mansion Realm... King!"

The leader quickly came to his senses.

The efficacy of Spirit-breaking Arrows was confined to those within the Primordial Pill Realm.

Upon reaching the Palace Mansion Realm, one’s Spiritual Power undergoes a fundamental transformation.

Spirit-breaking Arrows would almost be rendered ineffective.

"What, a Palace Mansion Realm King?"

Countless Imperial Guards were shocked and dismayed.

Although Ji Wuya’s defensive strength was immense, they hadn’t considered that he might be a Palace Mansion Realm King; they simply thought he was using an exceptionally strong Heavenly Spirit Technique for defense.

But Spirit-breaking Arrows were futile against him.

This was far beyond the scope of the Primordial Pill Realm!

Palace Mansion Realm Kings were exceedingly rare throughout Great Xia.

They only knew of their King as one; as for other Kings, the vast majority had never heard of them.

Ji Wuya hadn’t taken action for many years, so naturally, the younger Imperial Guards were less likely to have heard of him.

Only some of the older Cultivators might possibly think of him.

Within the Defense Shield, Liu Qingcang also looked up at Ji Wuya with admiration.

Such is the power of a Palace Mansion Realm King!

It had been many years since he last witnessed it.

A hint of envy surfaced on his face.

During the battle with Xia Jiuyou back in the day, he was gravely injured, his Dantian damaged, and he had no hope of breaking through to the Palace Mansion Realm in this lifetime.

"Are you the Dark Night Lord?"

The leader asked in a trembling voice.

As the leader of the Imperial Guard, he naturally had some knowledge of the Kings.

There were Palace Mansion Realm Kings in all the major surrounding Dynasties.

In Great Xia, aside from the king Xia Jiuyou, there was only the Dark Night Lord, Ji Wuya.

This person was no longer young, and he quickly made the connection to Ji Wuya.

"Indeed!"

Ji Wuya scoffed coldly: "If you don’t want to die, get out of my way! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

He was a King of the third tier in the Palace Mansion Realm; although he had been injured, his strength was still not something that Primordial Pill Realm experts could contend with!

"Commander!"

Countless Imperial Guards looked towards their leader at once.

As members of the Imperial Guard, they had to follow orders without question.

Until the leader ordered them to retreat, they would have to advance, even if it meant death!

"Stand down, we are no match for him."

The leader issued the bitter command.

There was no choice; this was a Palace Mansion Realm King!

There was no way they could contend with him!

"You know what’s good for you!"

Seeing the Imperial Guards backing off, Ji Wuya sneered and, taking Liu Qingcang with him, rushed towards Zhengyang Palace.

As Ji Wuya’s figure receded into the distance, the leader reluctantly took out a Token and sent a message to the King.

However, there was no response for a long time.

At this moment, the Ghost Guards of the Ghost Palace also appeared.

"Commander Ye!"

A Great Divine Guard flew over.

"Great Divine Guard!"

Commander Ye saluted the Great Divine Guard slightly.

The Great Divine Guard quickly said: "Commander Ye, what are you doing here? Ling Chen has trespassed into the Palace; you better go deal with it quickly!"

"Ling Chen?"

Commander Ye was startled.

Is this not the recently famed prodigy?

Why would he storm into the Palace?

"Great Divine Guards, we have encountered someone trespassing in the Palace as well."

Commander Ye said with bitterness: "That person is a Palace Mansion Realm King!"

"Palace Mansion Realm King?"

The Great Divine Guards’ eyes narrowed sharply.

One Ling Chen causing an intrusion was already beyond their capabilities as Ghost Guards, and now there’s a Palace Mansion Realm King?

Then what’s the point of them fighting at all!

They might as well let the King handle this himself.

"The Dark Night Lord?"

The Great Divine Guard looked towards Commander Ye.

"Yes."

Commander Ye nodded and said: "Wasn’t it said that this King was severely injured by our former King? How has he reappeared now?"

The Great Divine Guard chuckled bitterly: "Who knows! I thought even if the Dark Night Lord didn’t die, his days were numbered, yet he appears to be as vigorous as a dragon!"

Then, the two exchanged a look and gazed in the direction of Zhengyang Palace.

They were truly at a loss!

With no Imperial Guards to stop them, Ji Wuya quickly joined up with Ling Chen and arrived in front of Zhengyang Palace.

"My lord, my father should be here."

Ling Chen said.

There were no traces of his father in the Ghost Palace.

He didn’t know of any other place besides here.

"Understood."

Ji Wuya nodded.

His gaze moved downward.

However, in front of Zhengyang Palace, there stood a hundred Imperial Guards.

They were specially trained Dead Soldiers by Xia Jiuyou!

Their Divine Souls were controlled.

Their only thought was to guard Zhengyang Palace.

"Step aside, or face death without mercy!"

Ji Wuya coldly stared down at the crowd of Dead Soldiers.

"Kill!"

However, the Dead Soldiers outside the palace shouted in unison.

Subsequently, streams of Spiritual Power erupted from their bodies and converged onto a Cultivator at the forefront.

They were actually deploying a Combined Attack Spiritual Array.

All one hundred of them were Ninth-layer Cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm.

With the boost from the Combined Attack Spiritual Array, their strength was absolutely comparable to a Palace Mansion Realm King!

The Cultivator gathering the Spiritual Power was a late-stage Ninth-layer Cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm.

With a flash in his hand, a superior-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword emerged.

The Spiritual Power of one hundred Ninth-layer Cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm gathered and, under his control, was infused into the longsword, bursting forth with a dazzling black radiance that illuminated nearly half the Palace.

"King Destruction Slash!"

The Cultivator roared and immediately executed a superior-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique.

One could see atop the longsword, a colossal and terrifying Sword Qi of a hundred zhang in length appeared, as if it pierced through heaven and earth, and then furiously slashed towards Ji Wuya!

"What is that?"

At this moment, outside the Palace, many Cultivators also saw the dazzling light of the Sword Qi and suddenly cried out in shock.

At the same time, countless people took to the skies, looking over in this direction.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Ji Wuya sneered.

This Sword Qi indeed posed a threat to him.

However, what would a mere superior-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique count for in the face of a genuine Palace Mansion Realm King like him, even if its Spiritual Power was formidable?

Ji Wuya fixed his gaze on the Sword Qi, and his right hand closed slightly.

A black-colored longsword emerged.

It was a weapon formed from condensed Spiritual Power!

Then, he raised the longsword high.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth suddenly roared with wind and clouds, and the nature’s spiritual energy within a hundred zhang radius crazily converged towards the Spiritual Power condensed longsword in Ji Wuya’s hand.

In just a breath’s time, the longsword swelled to a hundred zhang in length.

This was the true prowess of a Palace Mansion Realm King.

Cultivators of the Primordial Pill Realm could only mobilize their own Spiritual Power.

But Palace Mansion Realm Kings could use their own Spiritual Power as the general and nature’s spiritual energy as their troops, unleashing terrifying attacks.
