Chapter 1397: King's Battle

"Hehehe.... good, good, good... Qin Jiujie, your attitude befits the fourteenth Other King of the Origin Reversion Institute!" Hearing Qin Jiujie's heartless words brought great joy to the Faceless Other King. It immediately ripped apart its white face, and numerous talisman papers appeared. Each one emanated a chilly energy and shot outwards towards different locations within Abyssal City. Wherever the talisman papers descended, the buildings nearby melted away and holes formed, causing wax-like liquid to bubble out.

This chilly, white substance gradually subsumed all of the buildings around it.

Meanwhile, the humans who were struck by the white substance were similarly horrified to find out that their bodies were melting away, assimilating with it.

Who knew just how many had died in just a few moments.

Desperate cries rang out endlessly.

"We will fight back!" Some of the stronger Dukes didn't wish to sit and await their deaths. Duke Bergfrieds appeared one after another in the air as they made a last-ditch and tragic attempt to attack the Faceless Other King.

"Palace Master Qin, you've ruined the reputation of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin built over thousands of years!" one of the elderly experts wailed melancholically. If news of this were to spread, their reputation would undoubtedly plummet. They then joined the teams who were attempting to fight back against the Faceless Other King. Looking at the situation, it was clear that Qin Jiujie was planning to sacrifice them.

The guardians of the Blackwater Armies were still lingering within Abyssal City. Unfortunately, they were in an embarrassing situation because all of their Guardian Generals and leaders like Qin Beiming were trapped outside the city.

Without the lead of the Guardian Generals, the Blackwater Armies, which could have resisted a King as a united whole, were now as useless as loose sand. This was the disadvantage of fusing one's strengths into a singular whole. Without the head, they were nothing.

Things had turned completely upside down within the city.

Qin Jiujie's expression was like steel and he no longer showed any sympathy towards the people he had once protected.

His choice was made and he would pay the price.

From today onwards, he was no longer the leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, but the Origin Reversion Institute's newest Other King! Qin Jiujie didn't feel like he had done anything wrong. In fact, he thought to himself, "Old Ancestor, if I ever enter the Heavenly Emperor Stage, I will cut down the Faceless Other King and repay this enmity. At that point in time, I'll form an entirely new Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin."

The gloomy and cold white substance dispersed throughout Abyssal City, and towers made of bone began to rise slowly.

These bone towers emitted a strange light, seemingly capable of piercing through the void and connecting with a separate space. Qin Jiujie's eyes narrowed when he saw them. These objects had clearly been planted within Abyssal City much earlier and had only been activated now.

And none of the Kings had sensed a thing.

It must have been the work of the Origin Reversion Institute's Honored Lord.

Qin Jiujie's heart turned chilly. This organization's might was truly frightening, and it seemed like joining them had been the right decision. Two regal crowns had condensed above him, each flowing with pristine air before transforming into a world of thunder and flames.A gigantic Heavenly Wolf stood tall amidst one of the crowns as well.

His gaze turned outwards and he saw the void fracturing. Tan Tailan, Zhu Yuan, and Zhao Zong's combined offensive had blanketed the skies, roaring towards him in an overwhelming torrent.

Qin Jiujie activated the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation without hesitation.

Boundless amounts of black water gushed out, transforming into a stygian sea that blotted out the sun.

A frightening beast emerged from the sea. Its entire body was pitch-black with black scales all over it. It had antlers that resembled a deer's, and layers of dusky halos rotated behind its head.

This was the Blackwater Kirin! It was the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation's strongest form, the one Qin Lian had previously wielded. Unfortunately, the Blackwater Kirin that she had summoned was a far cry from the one present now.

Every single scale on the creature was engraved with archaic runes and its breath seemed capable of annihilating the world as it bared its sharp fangs.

It was as though it had descended from an ancient era. It then clashed directly against Tan Tailan and the other two's attacks, wreathed in the black water.

Boom!

The entire World's End River Region shook violently as worldly natural energy churned and roiled like a raging tide.

This incredible confrontation caused the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation to shake violently, and faint cracks appeared on it.

It was a peak-grade defensive ward controlled by Qin Jiujie, but when faced with the joint attacks of a Greater Transcendent and two Single Crowned Kings, it was stretched to the limit. 𐍂𝘈𐌽𝘖𝖇Еṩ

If this were to continue, in just a few more collisions, this grand formation that was the culmination of endless amounts of resources from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin would be shattered.

However, Qin Jiujie didn't feel any heartache over this. He wasn't part of them anymore. What was critical to him was ensuring that the Faceless Other King had enough time.

Thus, Qin Jiujie sucked in a deep breath, and the Heavenly Wolf that was engulfed in thunder and lightning suddenly jumped into the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation, suddenly chomping down on the Blackwater Kirin.

The Blackwater Kirin let out a pained roar before quickly being devoured by the Heavenly Wolf.

The Thunderflame Heavenly Wolf then took the spot of the Blackwater Kirin as the spiritual beast of the ward.

Such a barbaric way of replacing the spirit beast would undoubtedly greatly harm the Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation. All that could be said was that Qin Jiujie was decisive and merciless. He would take any action needed to succeed, and it wasn't unexpected that he had become the leader of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. Afterwards, the previously slightly golden Thunderflame Heavenly Wolf transformed and turned pitch-black in color. Nine large onyx-colored tails casually swished behind it, ripping apart the firmament with every motion.

Qin Jiujie directed his icy gaze towards Tan Tailan and the group outside the city. "Today, I'll see for myself what's so amazing about a Greater Transcendent Duke!"

The two crowns above his head flowed with source origin energy and fused into the black Thunderflame Heavenly Wolf.

The Heavenly Wolf's tails began to gather together, channeling energy into a singular black orb. This black orb was only the size of a palm and looked extremely delicate. However, what was contained within it were three elements: thunder, fire, and blackwater.

Dense amounts of source origin surged towards it, transforming the seemingly ordinary orb into a terrifying object.

"I'd like to invite the three of you to have a taste of my work."

Upper Destiny-grade Duke Art: Heavenly Wolf Thunderflame Bead! Just how terrifying was it when a Dual Crowned King borrowed the aid of a King-grade formation to supplement his upper Destiny-grade Duke Art?

Shock and fear appeared in Zhu Yuan and Zhao Zong's eyes. The two of them might have run off by now if not for Tan Tailan's presence. After all, even though they had joined hands, they were not Qin Jiujie's opponents.

Tan Tailan remained collected despite this. An ancient star map manifested above the Transcendent Heavenly Throne, and it began to emit scintillating light. Silver energy condensed, quickly transforming into a silverish-gold talisman.

When the talisman manifested, Zhao Zong and Zhu Yuan's hearts trembled. "Source Origin Celestial Seal!"

As Kings, they understood what this represented—it was the key to utilizing Transcendent Arts. A Transcendent Art was something that could threaten even their lives. As the silverish-gold talisman floated in the skies, it began to radiate mighty undulations of energy. The void continuously shattered and then it transformed into a silverish-gold pearl.

Similarly, the two Kings restrained their fear and glanced at each other. They then activated their crowns, and source origin energy flooded the world.

The void behind Zhao Zong shattered and a violet-gold divine light bathed the firmament. A gigantic violet tiger claw stretched out of the void, as though it had teleported from the primordial era, emanating vicious ferocity.

Meanwhile, a humongous white elephant materialized above Zhu Yuan. The elephant trumpeted loudly as mighty black-and-white energies swept outwards, crushing everything in its wake.

Upper Destiny-grade: Violet God Claw!

Upper Destiny-grade: Yin-Yang White Elephant's Enigmatic Energy!

However, the most intimidating one of them all was none other than the one from Tan Tailan.

Transcendent Art: Heavenly Peng's Talon Celestial Record!

These three horrifying attacks streaked across the air, smashing through the heavens and colliding with Qin Jiujie's Blackwater Divine Transformation Formation-boosted Heavenly Wolf Thunderflame Bead!
