CHAPTER 377 A SHOCKING WAR OF ULTIMATE DOMAINS
Several figures roared past in the sky.
In the next instant, more than ten innate spiritual kings appeared above the Misty South Palace. From
the energy they released, it was apparent that half of them were middle spiritual kings. This was truly a
formidable army.
The army was formed by three forces, with the most powerful ones leading them. The first lot contained
Boris, that famous array deployer who were leading the army with Errol by his side.There was another
middle spiritual king with them, whose appearance indicated that he might come from the West
Desolate Land. He might be the lord of the West Desolate Palace then.
The second lot was formed by two middle spiritual kings and two lower spiritual kings, all of whom had
come from the Earth Fire Land. Ricky saw a familiar face among them. It was Mia, from the Casting
Guild!
The remaining four middle spiritual kings and four lower spiritual kings were apparently the forces from
the Heaven Wood Land. Ricky recognized the Chief of the Sky Manor in them at once.
"Come out and let's have a good old chat, Zenith. Don't hide behind your mountain. After all, you
invited us here in such a high-profile way. Is it really polite to treat your guests like this?" one of the
middle spiritual kings from the Heaven Wood Land called out as soon as the whole army had come to a
halt in the air. He didn't say those words with his mouth, but instead transmitted them with his energy
which formed powerful sound waves that carried his voice across the valley and bombarded the whole
place.
"Get lost!" Zenith answered in a cold, dry voice which showed his contempt and defiance. His words
swept over the army forcefully, like a series of strong waves. All the innate spiritual kings up there had
to gather up their energy and protect themselves from the sound attack.
Nonetheless, it was still too powerful. All the lower spiritual kings were knocked back by the energy,
and several less competent middle spiritual kings felt a punch in their chest, unable to fend off all the
energy from Zenith.
All the innate spiritual kings' faces darkened immediately when the sound attack stopped. The
confidence in their eyes drained away.
They were all very powerful warriors, and were able to detect others' levels fairly easily. Judging from
Zenith's sound attack alone, they realized that their rival was far more powerful than they were. He had
uttered merely two words, and they all just lost their balance.
It was a hard pill to swallow, but they had to face the truth. There was an undeniably great disparity in
their strength. At this point, it suddenly dawned upon them what Zenith's greatest card was--his
powerful strength! At this level, he could be strong enough to send them all to their fate.
This was the last thing that Boris and his men wanted to see. They might have tried to maintain a calm
exterior, but the envy and fury in their eyes betrayed them. More then anyone else, they just couldn't
accept this fact.
It wasn't hard to understand. Seeing their sworn enemy grow stronger had dealt them a big blow.
Anyone in this world could become more powerful except for Zenith. The burning hatred in their chests
blazed hot and furious.
....
"Invited you? I don't recall ever doing that. I only told the world that the Misty South Palace was
founded. Isn't it already a convention to inform every corner of the Realm of Wildness whenever you
create a force of innate spirit? I'm only following the customs, and yet here you are! I can't believe you
all came here to congratulate me," Zenith scoffed, his voice resounding throughout the whole valley.
"Or should I say that you are in fact all coming over uninvited?" he asked coldly.
As soon as he had done speaking, three figures descended from the sky and came face to face with
the army. They were of course Zenith, Soar and Ricky. Ricky was rather weak compared to the two of
them, but as lord of the Misty South Palace, his presence was required.
Besides, all the innate spiritual kings had come hurriedly for his spiritual space tool. He refused to go
into hiding and leave others deal with his concerns.
"Ricky!"
"Ricky is here, too!" All the innate spiritual kings exclaimed the moment they saw him, their faces all
lighting up with greed. For a moment, they seemed to have all forgotten about Zenith and how strong
he had become.
"What are you doing, Ricky!? The Fortune Land is going to open soon! What the hell are you thinking
about establishing this Misty South Palace thing? You're just asking for trouble! Why couldn't you just
keep a low profile until you get out from the Fortune Land?" the Chief of the Sky Manor asked rather
grumpily, using her mind to communicate.
She might very well be the only one in the army who wasn't coming here to snatch Ricky's spiritual
space tool.
"What brings you here, Chief?" Instead of answering her question, Ricky only deflected it. Truth be told,
he was also a bit surprised when he saw her in the crowd at first.
"I didn't want to, not one bit! But Kristen insisted that I should come here and keep an eye out. If
possible, I would rather stay out of the trouble," she retorted with a frown.
"Kristen asked you to come?" Ricky murmured upon hearing her words, feeling quite touched at finding
out that Kristen really cared about him. But soon, a trace of slyness came onto his face.
"Well, since it was her who sent you here, I'm not the one who forced you into this fight. You can't
blame me for what will happen next, right?" Ricky asked her rather cheekily.
"I'm afraid that it's not the time to joke around, Ricky. I would like to see how Zenith plans to clear up
the mess here. Do you guys really think you can get away with it just because Zenith is a bit stronger
than us?" the Chief asked, her lips nearly curling into a sneer.
"And one more thing. Don't tell me that you built this Misty South Palace just to get more fortune from
the Fortune Land," she questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Honestly, Chief, you have seen through us. That's exactly what this palace is for. With our trump card,
I do believe that we can defeat all of you. You'll find out about our plans soon enough," Ricky
answered, his eyes beaming with confidence.
Now that the Shadow King and the lord of the Imperial Palace of Wildness hadn't come, Zenith was
likely to be the strongest warrior there. And since that Zenith was almost an upper spiritual king, Ricky
had every reason to believe that they could win.
"I knew it! You seem to think that your victory will be inevitable! Let's see you do it then," the Chief of
the Sky Manor scoffed.
....
"Listen, Zenith. I don't care about the force you established, call it whatever you like. It has nothing to
do with us anyway. But I must say that the spiritual space tool in your disciple's hand is a whole other
matter," declared the middle spiritual king from the Heaven Wood Land, trying to challenge Zenith
again.
"Ha-ha!" Zenith laughed sarcastically. "Tell me, what on earth does it have to do with you? My disciple
earned it himself, not you. The early bird gets the worm--isn't it the way of the world? Everyone knows
that, but perhaps bastards see things from a different perspective?" he said pointedly, his words
dripping with contempt.
The innate spiritual kings' faces grew sour at hearing Zenith's harsh insults. They understood the
implications of his words.
"Don't be so arrogant, Zenith! You may have to pay the price for it later," Errol said drily, fixing a stern
look on Zenith.
"To show our decreasing respect for you, we will give you one last chance. Ask Ricky to hand over the
spiritual space tool, and we will spare his life. Otherwise, we have no choice but to spill your blood in
this newly-founded Misty South Palace. Make up your mind," demanded another spiritual king.
'Ha-ha! Handing over the spiritual space tool? Alright, but to whom? There is but one spiritual space
tool, and so many bastards here. Tell me, now. To which bastard should Ricky hand over the treasure?"
Zenith asked with a smirk. He felt not an ounce of fear of them.
"Don't try to turn us against each other, Zenith. We were not born yesterday. Just cut the crap and give
us the spiritual space tool. Quit trying to keep the pie to yourself," one of the spiritual kings insisted.
"Well well, now you're the ones being aggressive. The pie is ours from the very beginning, and you lot
don't deserve it!" As Zenith was speaking, the smile on his face disappeared, and his tone turned cold
and serious. He scanned the army with disdain. If looks could kill, all the spiritual kings in front of him
would have been fallen down dead by now!
"Now, I want all of you to get out of my face. The Misty South Palace is not receiving guests today. Go,
or I will kill you all!"
Zenith shouted, strong energy and murderous intent exploding from his body.
"Who do you think you are, Zenith?" the spiritual kings yelled in unison, enraged by Zenith's order to
leave. Blue veins popped out on their temples. Their own energy exploded too, in response to the
impending fight. How dare Zenith stand between them and the treasure? They had to teach him a
lesson, now!
As the energy they unleashed increased, each of them began to create their own Ultimate Domain,
which kept expanding and twisting the space around them. Within seconds, the entire space around
the valley had been taken up by their oppressive domains of different kinds. From their point of view, copyrighted © content.
Zenith might be stronger than any of them individually, but there was strength in numbers.
Then there was a dull, deep crack that rang out from all directions, and the sound became louder and
sharper.
Ricky and Zenith realized that it was the sound of space fracturing slowly but surely. The whole space
had nearly been shattered by the many Ultimate Domains.
"Come on, everyone. Let's fight together and get that spiritual space tool first. We have plenty of time to
decide how we can share it after that!" one of the spiritual kings called on the others, preparing to
launch his attack. The others followed without hesitation. All of a sudden, nearly twenty powerful
Ultimate Domains were moving towards Zenith, Ricky, and Soar, like dark, ominous clouds.
"Ultimate Blizzard Domain!" Zenith bellowed just in time. At his words, the sky above the Misty South
Palace grew dark, and a great blizzard swept across the entire valley as the Ultimate Blizzard Domain
was formed. All the enemies' Ultimate Domains were then forced to retreat from this big stormy entity,
like balloons being blown away.
"Boom!" rang out a sound loud enough to wake the dead.
Before all the spiritual kings could blink, their Ultimate Domains had been obliterated by Zenith's
Ultimate Blizzard Domain upon contact. The Ultimate Blizzard Domain didn't just stop there, either! It
kept expanding and headed for the spiritual kings after swallowing their domains.
"How could this be?" they exclaimed in disbelief as they stood aghast, watching the Ultimate Blizzard
Domain barreling towards them. Zenith's power was truly stupefying!
