CHAPTER 442 THE POWERFUL SHADOW KING

Boom! Boom!

Before his voice faded, the Shadow King gathered his aura in the blink of an eye. His murderous intent

poured out of his body before it swarmed up to become a part of his Ultimate Killing Domain.

Immediately, his Ultimate Domain, which was originally transparent, turned as red as blood as it was

expanding outwards with great speed.

"Zenith, no one in the Realm of Wildness has ever challenged me right to my face. Even the lord of the

Imperial Palace of Wildness has never said such words of challenge to me. You are the very first one to

do that," the Shadow King exclaimed in a cold voice as he narrowed his eyes at the other man.

"So, next, I'm going to teach you a lesson and make you understand one thing. You will know who the

master of the Realm of Wildness is. You will also learn that I have the ability to take away anyone that I

want. You know what? You are being blinded by this small achievement you just made. Arrogance will

kill you someday, sooner or later."

Immediately after the Shadow King finished saying that, he approached Zenith imposingly. He moved

slowly, yet after one step, he was much closer to Zenith. The power embedded in his Ultimate Killing

Domain grew stronger. It pushed Zenith's Ultimate Blizzard Domain backwards continuously.

"Well, that was a nice speech, but I'm not giving up! I'm really looking forward to your performance in

battle," Zenith replied in a cold tone as he furrowed his brow.

The next second, his freezing power also had ferociously broken out. As a result, giant snowflakes

began falling from the sky out of nowhere. Zenith was employing the skill called the Holy Snow Attack.

Immediately, his Ultimate Blizzard Domain was no longer shrinking and had begun expanding quickly.

Bang! Bang!

The next second, the two powerful Ultimate Domains met each other with tremendous power. Zenith

and the Shadow King also flew towards each other because they were determined to fight. Their

figures entangled and no one could differentiate between them.

Crack! Crack!

Apart from that, the loud noise caused by the collision echoed throughout the sky and there were

crackling sounds that deafened everyone watching. It turned out that the space near them was being

torn apart by their fight. Their energy flashed in the air and moved around here and there in the blink of

an eye.

All Ricky could see was destroyed bits of the ground and trees around them. He could barely see the

figures through all of them. He was unable to identify how they fought or what kind of the attacks they

used at all. They moved too fast, so fast that his eyes could not catch up with them. In the blink of an

eye, they had already clashed together in several dozens of bouts.

'So, this is what a fight between upper spiritual kings is like!' Ricky could not help but sigh in his heart

when he saw such a ferocious and wonderful fight. 'When can I become an upper spiritual king? I'm

really looking forward to it!' Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Ricky was incredibly eager to reach the level of an upper spiritual king. Meanwhile, he understood that

it would take him time to achieve that. He would have to make progress step by step. Only through that

technique could he enhance his ability at each level. He had a big and ambitious plan for his future.

After forty-five minutes, the situation began to change and it became clearer who was dominating the

fight over time.

The Shadow King's Ultimate Killing Domain was oppressing Zenith's Ultimate Blizzard Domain. A white

figure was retreating backwards quickly, and it was none other than Zenith.

"Humph! Where did your courage to challenge our king come from? You think you can defeat him as an

upper spiritual king? You're just too naive!" the two innate spiritual kings from the Endless Shadow

snorted in contempt upon seeing the situation at hand.

Ricky, Grace, and the others grew more serious as they watched Zenith struggle.

"Do you have any idea what the Shadow King's real strength is, Soar?" Ricky asked. He began to feel

worried about Zenith.

Seeing that Zenith was forced to step back filled him with concern. Ricky had a gut feeling that they

might have underestimated the true strength of the Shadow King. He had reached the upper spiritual

king level a long time ago, after all.

"From the power he just revealed to us, I'm sure he is a second-class upper spiritual king. It seems that

he has saved part of his power and did not exert all of his might yet. If he tried his best, I'm afraid he

would be as strong as a first-class upper spiritual king," Soar replied in a serious voice.

"It seems that we just underestimated his skill."

"He's as strong as a first-class upper spiritual king?" Ricky murmured to himself in a low voice upon

hearing Soar's reply.

Without any hesitation, Ricky channeled his strength, and consequently, the energy halo which had

been given to him by Doris appeared right in his hand.

Bang!

The next second, as a heavy sound echoed throughout the sky, Zenith fell from the sky. Fortunately,

the moment before he hit the ground, he successfully managed to steady himself so that he could

avoid being hurt too badly.

He was a total mess at that point in time. His clothes were torn and there was blood in the corners of

his mouth.

"I did not expect that you had the peak combat power of a second-class upper spiritual king. That's a

surprise," Zenith said in a serious tone as he wiped away the trickle of blood that was leaking from his

mouth.

He did not realize that he had underestimated the Shadow King's power until then. He also realized it

that he had made a fatal mistake, and that it might cost him everything.

Without hesitation, he transferred his message secretly by using his telepathic link with Ricky and the

others. "I'll stay here and deal with him. You guys leave as fast as you can. Go now! Ricky, I remember

that you have the jade tablet left by the Chief of the Sky Manor, right? Crush it now! We need her help

to handle Boris!

I was being careless this time and underestimated his strength. The Shadow King is much more

powerful than me, and..."

"Zenith, just stop struggling anymore and admit it! No one can go against me in the Realm of Wildness!

Anyone who tries to challenge me is fated for a horrible death. There is only one consequence of

turning again me—an immediate and miserable death," the Shadow King spoke in a distant tone again

before Zenith could finish his message.

After he was done speaking, three visions of the Shadow King appeared in the sky all of a sudden. The

Shadow King was employing his attack of Shadowy Replication.

"The Great Killing Sword!" Without sparing even one second, the three shadows threw out their Great

Killing Swords. They dashed towards Zenith from three different directions, intending to give him a fatal

strike.

All the three Great Killing Swords were carrying destructive power. When they slid over, the space they

passed was torn apart. The killing intent embedded in them could be seen vaguely in the air, forming

three small Ultimate Killing Domains.

However, Ricky did not stand up to help Zenith despite the critical situation. As a matter of fact, he was

waiting patiently. He was waiting for the moment after Zenith took the brunt of that attack.

It was only after that bout that the Shadow King would lower his guard, and that was the perfect time to

give him a surprising strike.

Ricky had his own reason to choose to wait. He had confidence in Zenith, and was sure that Zenith

would be able to resist it that time.

'Chief Zenith, please hold on for a few more moments. You may get hurt, but I have to wait in order to

hit the Shadow King. I'm sorry, ' Ricky thought to himself sadly as he watched the brutal fight.

"The Holy Snow Attack—the Freezing Ice Palm!"

Zenith roared with rage upon seeing the three Great Killing Swords dashing towards him. A stubborn

determination to fight filled up his eyes.

Then, the Ultimate Blizzard Domain, which was surrounding Zenith, gathered all of a sudden. All the

energy was collected in his right palm, and then it centered in the middle of his palm. A white, dazzling,

and freezing light was released in an instant.

A moment later, his frosty power burst out. It was more than powerful than it had ever been before. It

melted within Zenith's right palm and formed a giant gauntlet. Zenith threw his fist out forcefully and it

met with the three swords that were sent from the Shadow King.

"How dare you continue to try and fight against me when I've shown you that I'm much stronger than

you! You are really an over-confident man! I admire your courage, but you will die here anyway!" the

Shadow King teased in a disdainful voice upon seeing Zenith still trying to fight against him face to

face.

The Shadow King admitted that, if Zenith tried to run away, he would have no way to deal with him. If

Zenith wanted to battle with him, he was one hundred percent sure that he would beat him to death

rather easily.

"Oh, I got it! You are fighting to protect those losers that are hiding at your back, right?" Zenith chose to

stay there to fight even though he had known all along that he would not be a match for the Shadow

King. The king also understood his reason for fighting at that point.

"Humph! So, you are another guy who is driven by emotions and relationships! You are the kind that I

hate the most! You are doomed to have your life end here," the Shadow King said out loud. He was

growing angrier as he poured more power into his three swords.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Amidst the strong and loud bursts that were echoing throughout the sky, the three

Great Killing Swords and Zenith's palm finally forcefully and ferociously met. At that moment, the air in

their surroundings was filled up with murderous intent brought out by their attacks.

"This is exactly the right time! One will only relax the moment after his strike has reached his enemy!

This is my opportunity to cut in!" Ricky murmured to himself with excitement at that point in time. His

eyes lit up with an eager fire.

He began to take action at that moment. He twisted his wrist and an energy ball rushed out and

towards the direction that the Shadow King was in.
