Chapter 596 -591: Clay Chickens and Pottery Dogs

“You little bastard, you’re finally out.”

The moment he saw Ning Jiang, a boiling killing intent appeared in Ao Wubian’s eyes. He could not, under any circumstances, let Ning Jiang—the one who had passed the Ninth Floor—get away.

As Ning Jiang appeared, the entrance to the first floor of the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower began to close.

“The Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower is starting to close.” Ao Wubian’s expression turned joyful. “Without the Power of Rules, you’re no different from an ant before us. Little bastard, prepare yourself!”

Finally, the great door to the first floor of the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower shut completely.

“Huh?”

Ao Wubian let out a soft sound of surprise, discovering that the Power of Rules had not dissipated. It was still suppressing his Realm.

‘Maybe I just have to wait a little longer,’ Ao Wubian thought.

Ning Jiang saw through his thoughts at a glance and said lightly, “Ao Wubian, there’s no need to wait. This Power of Rules isn’t going to disappear!”

“How is that possible? Ning Jiang, what did you do?” At this point, Ao Wubian also sensed that something was wrong.

“Nothing much. I just made a deal with the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower. Part of that deal was this Power of Rules!”

The corners of Ning Jiang’s mouth slowly curled up, his eyes indifferent yet profound. “Ao Wubian, you just said I was an ant before you? Well, let me tell you—at the same Realm, you are nothing more than a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs before me!”

As he spoke, Ning Jiang stepped forward, his aura steadily climbing.

“Not good! This kid’s strength has broken through again. We need to leave, now!”

Sensing the aura coming from Ning Jiang, Ao Wubian’s expression changed instantly. Back in Nocturnal City, they were no match for Ning Jiang. Although Ning Jiang had used the Sword-Hiding Gourd at the time, his own strength was not weak either.

But the Ning Jiang of now made them feel an overwhelming pressure. Every step he took felt like it was trampling on their very hearts.

“Without my permission, who can leave? The three of you will all be staying here today!”

The words had barely faded when Ning Jiang’s figure shot forward.

RUMBLE!

He transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing before the three Kings and throwing a punch. The punch was a web of Thunderbolt, accompanied by a roaring Dragon’s Roar. Hundreds, even thousands, of ferocious bolts of Thunderbolt crashed down with his fist.

“Boy, don’t be so arrogant!”

Ao Wubian and the other two roared in fury. They were Kings, after all. When had they ever been looked down upon like this?

Immediately, they all circulated their Cultivation to resist Ning Jiang’s punch.

BANG.

With a massive crash, a huge shockwave of sound swept out in all directions. The three Kings’ faces turned pale, and they were thrown back a thousand feet.

“How is this possible?”

At this moment, the three Kings were utterly dumbfounded. Ning Jiang’s current strength had increased far too much compared to his level in Nocturnal City. Back then, Ning Jiang had to activate the move Sword Decides Life and Death just to barely suppress Ao Wubian alone.

But now, he had suppressed all three Kings with a single punch.

This was no small improvement!

“I told you, before me, you are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!”

Ning Jiang’s aura was overwhelming as he pressed closer step by step.

This was the nature of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill. Every breakthrough brought an astonishing increase in strength. Although he had only advanced from the Earth Martial Realm Middle Stage to the Late Stage—what seemed like a small step—his power had undergone a massive transformation.

Now, to deal with these three Kings, he no longer needed the Sword-Hiding Gourd at all.

“Take another one of my fists.”

Ning Jiang’s speed was terrifying. Bathed in Thunderbolt, he crossed a thousand feet in an instant. Like a Thunder God, he commanded Celestial Thunder to execute Celestial Punishment.

Streams of Thunderbolt, like a Celestial Tribulation, trapped the three Kings within.

“AH! You bastard!”

Instantly, the three Kings felt immense pressure. Every single bolt of Thunderbolt had the power to kill a warrior at the Earth Martial Realm Peak. Faced with hundreds and thousands of them, even they were in mortal danger.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

They used their various abilities, unleashing all sorts of earth-shattering Martial Techniques to resist Ning Jiang, sending the entire space into a complete frenzy.

“This is bad. I’m afraid the three Kings are going to lose.”

Ao Lie watched with a drastic change in expression. He saw the three Kings being completely suppressed by Ning Jiang, able only to defend themselves without any power to retaliate.

“Pfft.”

Suddenly, the Elder from the Three-headed Snake Clan was struck by Ning Jiang’s fist and sent flying. He coughed up a torrent of blood, which even contained fragments of his internal organs.

“We have to risk it all!”

The three Kings roared and revealed their true forms.

“Pathetic.”

A cold sneer appeared on Ning Jiang’s lips. He let out a long cry, and all the Thunderbolt covering his body converged onto his fist, compressing into a Thunder Dragon.

ZZZT!

He shot across the void and threw a punch. The blazing light of the thunder was like a Heaven-Reaching white pillar.

The punch was as unstoppable as splitting bamboo. It tore straight through the massive shark body of the Blood Shark Clan’s Grand Elder, leaving behind a bloody hole that was visible from front to back.

“AAARGH!”

The Blood Shark Clan’s Grand Elder let out a bloodcurdling scream, in excruciating pain.

“Bastard, die!”

The Grand Elder of the Three-headed Snake Clan opened his mouths. All three of his heads spat out a pillar of blood-red light. The fierce fluctuations of power it contained were enough to defeat Ten Great Earth Martial Realms.

“Too weak!”

Ning Jiang didn’t even try to dodge. He strode forward directly. The three pillars of blood-red light slammed into his body, only to be blocked by the Thunder Dharma Body that had materialized around him.

He walked right through the Energy pillars, arriving in front of the giant Three-headed Serpent.

“Sever!”

Using his hand as a sword, he condensed a Thunder Sword Aura several thousand feet long on his palm and sliced off one of the serpent’s heads in a single motion.

In an instant, blood rained down.

In less than the time it takes to breathe, two of the Kings had been severely wounded by Ning Jiang. This scene sent a chill through Ao Wubian’s heart. The current Ning Jiang was simply crushing them.

But he also knew there was no retreat. He could only brace himself and charge forward.

When he rushed in front of Ning Jiang, Ning Jiang simply clenched his fist and punched towards his massive head.

BAM!

When his fist landed, the scales on Ao Wubian’s head shattered instantly, and a crater hundreds of feet deep was caved in.

This one punch had shattered most of Ao Wubian’s skull. His entire head was nearly punched straight through.

“AWOOOO.”

Spurred by the pain, Ao Wubian let out a miserable howl, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth.

“Noisy.”

Ning Jiang thrust out his hands, which transformed into two massive Thunderous Giant Palms. He seized Ao Wubian’s body and, using it like a whip, lashed out at the other two Grand Elders.

WHAM.

The bodies of the three Kings collided violently. In an instant, the sound of shattering bones was endless.

The physical bodies of Demon Beasts were always incredibly tough. A collision like this was like meteorites crashing together; none of them escaped unscathed.

Ning Jiang, grabbing Ao Wubian, swung him a full hundred times. He only stopped when all three Kings were on the brink of death.

“Ao Lie, I won’t kill you. Scram. Go back and tell the Flood Dragon King to release the Celestial Treasure King.”
