Chapter 455: Welcoming the King of Reincarnation

“What did you say?”

The Meteor Sect Leader stared at Old Monster Ding in astonishment.

Old Monster Ding said proudly, “I said that Family Head Wang Teng, Patriarch Wei, and Fellow Daoist Lei have all pledged their allegiance to Lord King of Reincarnation.”

The Meteor Sect Leader staggered back several steps as if he had been dealt a heavy blow.

‘Wang Teng… he’s a Semi-Saint Level expert.’

The Wang Family he belonged to had numerous Martial Emperor powerhouses and was a formidable force, second only to the Meteor Sect.

And then there was Patriarch Wei.

Although the Wei family wasn’t as powerful as Wang Teng’s Wang Family, Patriarch Wei himself was also a Semi-Saint.

Fellow Daoist Lei was even more terrifying.

Though he was a lone wolf without the backing of a powerful family, his lightning-attribute Cultivation Technique was unrivaled, putting him on par with Old Monster Ding.

These three Semi-Saints had all submitted to the King of Reincarnation.

Seeing that the Meteor Sect Leader seemed shaken, Old Monster Ding continued, “On top of that, there are over a hundred other families.”

“Impossible!”

The Meteor Sect Leader shook his head.

‘Even if the King of Reincarnation is at the Saint Level, he only just broke through. It’s impossible for him to have subjugated so many Semi-Saints in such a short time.’

But just then…

BOOM!

A deafening roar echoed from the sky not far away as a rift tore open.

It looked as though something was about to emerge from within it.

Hm?

The crowd looked toward the rift with curiosity. Just as they were wondering what was happening, several hundred figures suddenly flew out of it.

The weakest among these hundreds of figures was an Early Stage Martial Emperor.

The three leading them all exuded a faint Holy Might, clearly identifying them as Half-Saint Powerhouses.

This scene left everyone stunned.

You have to understand, in the Cangxuan Realm, an ordinary family or Sect was already considered powerful if they had just one Semi-Saint.

Now, a full three of them had appeared at once.

Besides the major Sacred Lands, who could deploy so many Semi-Saints in one go?

“Which family is this?”

“I don’t know. Judging by their clothes, they seem to be from different families and factions.”

“The man leading in the middle looks so familiar!”

“Familiar? Isn’t that Family Head Wang Teng whom Old Monster Ding just mentioned? And the Semi-Saint on the left looks like Patriarch Wei.”

“Could the old man on the right be the Semi-Saint, Fellow Daoist Lei?”

The crowd erupted upon learning the identities of the newcomers.

“Family Head Wang, Patriarch Wei, Fellow Daoist Lei, what is the meaning of this…?”

The Meteor Sect Leader recognized the three as well.

In an instant, his heart sank to the pit of his stomach.

If these three had truly pledged themselves to the King of Reincarnation, then there were now five Semi-Saints present—enough to nullify a large portion of the Meteor Sect’s strength.

As for the hundreds of Martial Emperors behind them, they posed a significant threat as well.

‘An army of ants can kill an elephant!’

Family Head Wang Teng, Patriarch Wei, and Fellow Daoist Lei heard the Meteor Sect Leader’s call, but they merely shot him a dismissive glance.

“We respectfully welcome Lord King of Reincarnation!”

The three, leading the several hundred Martial Emperor powerhouses, knelt toward the rift and shouted in unison.

Old Monster Ding and Profound Fire Old Monster also knelt at this moment.

Everyone present was completely baffled.

‘Welcome the King of Reincarnation?’

‘Could it be that the King of Reincarnation is inside that spatial rift right in front of us?’

RUMBLE!

As the shouts of Family Head Wang Teng, Patriarch Wei, and the others faded, a tempest raged within the passage, as if some mighty being was about to be born.

Amidst the storm, a white figure slowly materialized.

No matter how violently the storm raged, the white figure remained unmoved, continuously emitting a sacred white radiance from its body.

“Is that a Saint?”

“See that white radiance? That’s the holy light only a Saint can release. It can purify certain evils.”

“Evils? The King of Reincarnation has killed countless people and committed every crime imaginable. Isn’t he an evil himself?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! If the King of Reincarnation hears you, you don’t have enough heads to be chopped off.”

The crowd discussed in shock.

Just then…

BOOM!

The King of Reincarnation slowly rose. The moment he opened his eyes, a sacred white light burst from his body, instantly obliterating the storm.

It was a crushing, merciless annihilation.

Even the ferocious spatial storm was swept away by the King of Reincarnation’s immense power.

The entire spatial rift fell silent.

THUD!

When the King of Reincarnation stepped out of the spatial rift, the very heavens and earth trembled. An unimaginable Holy Might spread throughout the Meteor Sect.

It even enveloped the entirety of Meteor City.

“King of Reincarnation…”

The Meteor Sect Leader clenched his jaw tightly.

‘A Saint-level Powerhouse!’

‘He had encountered such a terrifying existence ten years ago and had even joined forces with several Elders of the Meteor Sect to kill one.’

‘In that battle, they had paid a devastating price, one that had nearly driven them to despair.’

‘Now, that feeling of despair was descending upon him once again.’

It was suffocating him.

The King of Reincarnation glanced around. Seeing Wang Teng, Old Monster Ding, and the others kneeling on the ground, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

But then, his brows furrowed.

Because there were still people who hadn’t knelt.

The King of Reincarnation said coldly, “You see this king, yet you do not kneel?”

“Hmph!”

The sound wasn’t loud, but it was imbued with supreme Holy Might.

THUMP! THUMP!

Everyone before the gates of the Meteor Sect fell to their knees, prostrating themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably as cold sweat drenched their backs.

Even in Meteor City, a thousand meters away, everyone was forced to their knees.

At this moment, the King of Reincarnation reigned supreme over Meteor City and the Meteor Sect.

“What terrifying Holy Might!”

“Under such immense Holy Might, I couldn’t help but fall to my knees. I can’t even stand up if I wanted to.”

“You just knelt. I can’t even hold on to my own will.”

The crowd murmured, cold sweat trickling down their backs.

Compared to a Saint-level Powerhouse, so-called Martial Emperor experts were completely insignificant.

Even a Semi-Saint was no match.

As the saying goes: below the Saint Level, all are ants.

Only the Meteor Sect Leader and a few Elders, bolstered by their own power, managed to avoid kneeling to the King of Reincarnation on the spot.

However, this also infuriated the King of Reincarnation.

The King of Reincarnation said coldly, “Meteor Sect Leader, do you still refuse to recognize reality? Do you intend to resist my Holy Might?”

“Others may fear you, but our Meteor Sect does not!”

the Meteor Sect Leader said through gritted teeth.

The King of Reincarnation sneered, “Is that so? Heh, it seems you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”

BOOM!

The power within the King of Reincarnation erupted completely.

The Grand Elder shouted urgently, “Protect the Sect Leader!”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Eight figures shot out from the Meteor Sect and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Meteor Sect Leader.

BANG!

As the eight individuals and the Meteor Sect Leader unleashed their Cultivation in unison, the King of Reincarnation’s powerful Holy Might was directly repelled.

“Oh? Your Meteor Sect has another Semi-Saint? Though, it seems to be an artificial one!”

the King of Reincarnation said in surprise.

The Meteor Sect Leader said coldly, “You are not wrong. The Meteor Sect does indeed have one more Semi-Saint, specifically to deal with you.”

“Deal with me? Heh, what a joke!”

The King of Reincarnation sneered and shot a look at Old Monster Ding.

Old Monster Ding immediately understood. He approached the Grand Elder and said with a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes, “Grand Elder, I shall be your opponent.”

The Grand Elder’s expression darkened.

But before he could speak, Fellow Daoist Lei complained, “Old Monster Ding, you’re too impatient. You knew the Grand Elder was my prey, yet you still snatched him?”

“You were too slow to act. Who’s to blame?”

Old Monster Ding retorted with a sneer.

Fellow Daoist Lei shook his head. “Fine, fine, you can have the Grand Elder. Second Elder, you can be my opponent.”
