Chapter 1129: Dark Heavenly King Collapses

The terrifying suppressive force made the Dark Heavenly King feel true despair for the first time. As expected, when Gugulas's massive steel body began to spin wildly, affecting him, the Dark Heavenly King drew his true form into the darkness for the last time. Unfortunately, no one could have predicted the outcome.

When the surrounding darkness gradually dispersed, the name Dark Heavenly King no longer existed in the world. His body had been pulverized into nothingness the moment it collided with Gugulas, who had transformed into a steel devil dragon.

More precisely, he was crushed into a bloody pulp. Because Gugulas's crushing technique also included a rotational function, the inherent twisting force further disintegrated the already pulped Dark Heavenly King, causing his body to vanish completely into the void, leaving not the slightest trace.

Soon after, Gugulas returned to the battlefield, covered in blood. Although he appeared dishevelled, everyone assumed he was severely wounded. Only Xu Yang understood that the glint in Gugulas's keen eyes revealed everything.

He was completely unharmed; the bloodstains on him were not his own, but belonged to the Dark Heavenly King who had fallen by his hand.

Soon, Shitian Dao sniffed out the unique bloodline aura of the Dark Heavenly King from Gugulas. He abruptly stood up, glaring fiercely at Gugulas.

"What have you done to the Dark Heavenly King?" Gugulas wiped his hands with a helpless expression. "I didn't do much. I just didn't expect the guy to be so fragile. A few punches were enough to tear his skin, and then I used my strongest ultimate technique to crush him into nothingness. I apologize, I couldn't even bring back his head for you, which is quite rude for a member of the Glory Dragon Cavalry Regiment."

Upon hearing this, Shitian Dao was so enraged he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. However, he forcibly suppressed the urge, clenching his fists tightly.

This time, he turned his slightly immature gaze to Xu Yang. "Lord A Yang, is this how you instruct your subordinates? We agreed this was an alliance for sparring, yet every member under your command has dealt lethal blows to my Eight Heavenly Kings!"

Xu Yang burst into laughter. "Lord Shitian Dao, you and I both know well that while this battle is nominally an alliance, my true aim is to establish the Glory Battle Group as the absolute leader of the entire Western Region of Yingzhou Continent. The attitude your Divine Soul Battle Group displayed earlier was seen by every battle group leader present. In today's battle, whether it's the Glory Battle Group or the Divine Soul Battle Group, only one true king can emerge between us. The other side will be utterly crushed into nothingness and dust. I know many of you are dissatisfied, but after our subordinates are done fighting, I believe you and I should also have a decisive battle. Otherwise, the various battle group forces in the Western Region of Yingzhou Continent will never be unified, just as the irreconcilable conflict between you and me. This continent only needs one king; everyone else can only submit. In other words, if you ascended to the throne, would you allow me to continue living on this continent? The answer is obviously no."

Xu Yang's words truly left Shitian Dao speechless. No matter how furious he was, he could only calmly wait, hoping for a miracle.

However, he himself could barely believe that any of his Eight Heavenly Kings would emerge alive. Perhaps the most hopeful one was the strongest among the Eight Heavenly Kings, who was currently fighting against Ling Yao.

Apart from that, among the other Seven Heavenly Kings, besides the two who had already fallen, the remaining five had very little chance of victory. Only Morning Sun Heavenly King and Evening Sun Heavenly King had a relatively higher chance, mainly due to their numerical advantage.

It's worth noting that the most intense battle currently wasn't in the group with King Kong and Ling Yao, but between Xue'er and the Charm Heavenly King. The old saying goes, "Why do women make it hard for other women?" Yet, these two women in this peak duel had almost redefined the limits of what people believed women were capable of.

The Charm Heavenly King was also a formidable individual. The human bone golden whip in her hand, infused with spiritual energy, was terrifyingly potent; each of its ninety-nine segments was woven from the spine of a top-tier expert.

Any strike from this golden whip could unleash a terrifying soul-suppressing force, akin to her lineage's charm techniques, which exerted an unimaginable suppressive effect on an opponent's soul.

Initially, Xue'er found this battle quite challenging. However, as the fight progressed, she learned to control the water-attribute devil dragon power within her to enhance her combat abilities, and to some extent, rely on water elemental energy to protect her soul.

In this way, the effectiveness of the Charm Heavenly King's signature skills was severely diminished, and Xue'er's inherent advantage in cultivation power gradually became apparent.

It's worth noting that this girl was originally the fastest practitioner of the primal power cultivation system taught by Xu Yang. Moreover, during this battle, she forcefully activated her seventh Qi Revolver, becoming the only person in the Glory Dragon Cavalry Regiment capable of simultaneously controlling seven Qi Revolvers.

The moment the girl activated her seventh Qi Revolver, Xu Yang also sensed it, nodding repeatedly into the void. "I was right about Xue'er after all. Simultaneously controlling seven Qi Revolvers—one can imagine how difficult that is for a female cultivator. If my judgment is correct, she must have forcefully activated it to use *that* particular skill."

Although Xu Yang was not physically present on that sub-battlefield, his grasp of the overall situation was unparalleled. He could deduce the cultivation method Xue'er was employing simply by imagining and structuring it in his mind. Unbeknownst to many, it was precisely by simultaneously activating all seven Qi Revolvers that the girl unleashed her most potent Soul Transfer Technique.

Simply put, this cultivation method leaned more towards the soul system, yet it was the optimal way to counter charm techniques. In essence, it involved rapidly condensing a virtual soul from energy and various spiritual elements to replace one's true soul essence, thereby enduring all of the opponent's destructive suppressive methods.

Simultaneously, her true soul essence remained in its most alert combat state. This method of using a soul puppet to bear the pressure undoubtedly allowed Xue'er to unleash her full power to its maximum potential in the shortest time, as she no longer needed to worry about her soul being suppressed by the opponent.

Consequently, she could fully devote everything she had to the battle. As expected, the Charm Heavenly King did not last long before feeling immense pressure from Xue'er.

Her own signature ultimate techniques had completely lost their effectiveness, and the depth of Xue'er's cultivation was something her current state could not withstand. Without even fully utilizing her water-attribute devil dragon form, Xue'er had already achieved comprehensive suppression over the Charm Heavenly King.

Finally, with a decisive last strike, Xue'er pierced the Charm Heavenly King's chest. The woman's proudest area was now gushing blood, and she couldn't even stand steadily, stumbling to the ground. Shortly after, she completely lost her life force.
