Chapter 638: Chapter 633: Forced into the Ancient Forbidden Land

"You killed the Infinite King!"

The Six Great Kings watched, their faces a mixture of shock and fury. Their eyes held not only rage but also fear and bleak despair.

Like them, the Infinite King was a revered Celestial Martial Realm King who ruled over the Six Eastern Provinces. For countless years, they had stood at the pinnacle of the Six Eastern Provinces, witnessing the rise and fall of eras.

But today, the Infinite King, a man of their same stature, had unexpectedly fallen—and at the hands of a mere youth.

This filled them with a chilling sense of their own mortality.

They were mighty Kings, always seated high above the masses. They alone had always controlled the fates of others. When had anyone ever held power over their lives?

"Don’t be in such a hurry. You’ll all be reunited with the Infinite King in the Yellow Springs soon enough."

As he spoke, Ning Jiang struck out. The Six Great Kings joined forces to block, but the immense power sent them all flying backward, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Even when they used the Seven Extremes Slaughter King Formation, they couldn’t harm Ning Jiang, so what hope did they have now? The Infinite King’s death had shaken their once-firm martial hearts, extinguishing their will to fight. ’Even Kings can die.’ This single thought took deep root in their minds, making them even more terrified to face Ning Jiang.

As a result, they couldn’t even bring seventy percent of their full strength to bear.

BOOM.

Just as their spirits wavered, Ning Jiang struck again. A vast fluctuation, like a boundless ocean, swept out in all directions, shaking heaven and earth. Faced with this tidal wave of an attack, the Celestial Sword King made a swift decision.

"Flee!"

SWISH.

The Celestial Sword King was the first to turn and run.

He had once been the mightiest of the Seven Great Kings, but Ning Jiang had seized and destroyed his Treasure Sword. Now, with not even half of his usual power, how could he possibly dare to oppose Ning Jiang?

"We’re leaving too."

The other five Kings also turned and fled in the same direction as the Celestial Sword King.

They didn’t dare scatter and flee. If they split up, there was no telling who Ning Jiang would chase. All they knew for certain was that anyone he caught would face nothing but death.

By fleeing together, they could at least combine their strength to withstand his attacks and avoid being obliterated by a single strike.

"Annihilation is your only way out."

Ning Jiang took a step forward, transforming into a streak of rainbow light as he gave chase.

"The Six Great Kings... they’re fleeing for their lives."

Watching the Six Great Kings flee like whipped dogs, countless Martial Artists were left dumbstruck and in utter disbelief.

Many Martial Artists felt their entire perception of the world collapsing.

In the hearts of many, these Celestial Martial Realm Kings were like the heavens themselves—boundlessly majestic and invincible. Now, Ning Jiang’s utter defeat of them was like seeing the sky itself come crashing down.

"The Six Eastern Provinces are truly about to undergo a massive change. After today, Ning Jiang will be known as the greatest figure of all time!"

A Heaven-Reaching Realm expert exclaimed in awe.

What Ning Jiang had done today was enough to be recorded in the annals of history, revered and celebrated by future generations.

Meanwhile, the members of the Seven Great Super Sects were deathly pale and utterly devastated. They knew all too well that the supreme status of their sects would be a thing of the past after today.

They could no longer hold their heads high above all others.

"Alas."

Su Yuying’s expression was complex as she sighed. ’Chenyu, you really found a good man. Maybe I should have listened to you from the start and not let the Sect Leader make an enemy of him.’

’If the Moon God Palace had befriended Ning Jiang, we would have both the Double Pupil and a man with the potential to become a Celestial King. It’s easy to imagine how the Moon God Palace would have surely become a Top Level power.’

’Unfortunately, what’s done is done. Time doesn’t flow backward.’

...

"Ning Jiang, don’t push us too far! The Six Eastern Provinces are the Little Celestial King’s territory! If you kill us, the Little Celestial King won’t let you off either!"

The Celestial Sword King roared again and again.

He was a pathetic sight—one arm was gone, and his body was drenched in blood. The other Kings were also heavily wounded and in grave danger.

"What Little Celestial King? If he dares to cause trouble for me, I’ll suppress and kill him all the same. Don’t even mention the Ten Great Royal Physiques—so what if it’s a Sacred Body?"

Ning Jiang was incomparably defiant, looking down on the world.

Back in the East Sea, he had dared to oppose the Other Shore and the Chaos Alliance. No matter how strong the Little Celestial King was, how could he possibly be worthy of Ning Jiang’s notice?

"Kill."

Ning Jiang gave a cold shout. The aura of the Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor surged to the heavens as Golden Divine Swords materialized one after another in the void. Each sword was incomparably sharp, capable of annihilating everything. The mere wisps of aura they emanated were enough to crack the earth open.

These thousands of Golden Divine Swords shrieked through the air as they shot forth.

"ARGH!"

The Six Great Kings screamed as they were grievously wounded.

The attack was too ferocious. Every single sword was supremely fierce and powerful, slaying all in its path.

"Flee! To the Ancient Forbidden Land! Only there do we have a sliver of hope for survival!" the Celestial Sword King shrieked. If this continued, they would fall at Ning Jiang’s hands sooner or later.

Their only path to survival was to escape to the Ancient Forbidden Land.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

Holding nothing back, the Six Great Kings burned their life essence, crossing a thousand miles in an instant as they fled toward the Ancient Forbidden Land.

One pursued while the others fled. After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a vast, desolate land appeared before them. An aura that was mysterious, ancient, primordial, and unknown immediately washed over them.

This Ancient Forbidden Land had the look of a world from Ancient Times. Colossal trees towered into the clouds, their bark cracked like Dragon Scales. Bizarre, solitary peaks pierced the sky, and the roars of unknown Demon Beasts echoed from all around.

The Six Great Kings didn’t stop, charging straight through the outer perimeter and into the inner region.

Ning Jiang was no stranger to this inner region; it was here that he had once discovered a King’s Tomb. The Six Great Kings flew forward until they were near the core region before finally stopping.

The core region had always been the forbidden zone of the Ancient Forbidden Land. Even for a Celestial Martial Realm King, entering it meant almost certain doom.

"Should we go in?"

The Six Great Kings stood at the edge, all of them hesitant. Once inside, not even they could guarantee whether they would live or die. After all, even the great Celestial King Golden Cicada of his generation had vanished within the Ancient Forbidden Land.

The space in this core region was chaotic. It was easy to enter but difficult to leave.

"If we don’t go in, we’ll just die at Ning Jiang’s hands. Rather than that, we might as well take the gamble."

As expected of a Sword Cultivator, the Celestial Sword King was the first to make a decision. He transformed into a rainbow streak of sword light and shot inside.

"Let’s risk it! The Ancient Forbidden Land may be fraught with danger, but it also holds infinite opportunities. Maybe we’ll even find some heaven-shattering fortune inside."

The other Kings exchanged a look and charged in together.

’The core region, huh?’

Ning Jiang arrived shortly after them. He gazed into the depths of the Ancient Forbidden Land. Streaks of strange, multicolored light surged, and from time to time, odd sounds could be heard, like someone whispering in his ear, sending a chill down his spine.

Furthermore, the space itself was in constant, chaotic flux.

Though Ning Jiang was daring and fearless due to his profound skill, he also knew not to take unnecessary risks before reaching his full potential. He never acted without confidence.

"One day, I will step into the Ancient Forbidden Land and uncover its secrets."

Ning Jiang murmured softly and then departed.
