Chapter 1147 – True King Form

Chapter 1147 – True King Form

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. “If King Mystery insists, then I can agree.”

Before King Mystery could reveal the joy of revenge on his face, Qin Yu continued to say in a cold tone, “But please consider something. If you kill Shadowless Demon, you will become my enemy…after the matter of the ancestral land comes to an end, I shall have you pay the price for it.”

Threatening him? He was a solemn Abyssal True King, one of the great rulers of the Nether Royal Bloodline, yet he was being threatened with such straightforwardness!

How absurd!

King Mystery almost laughed in anger, but he soon forcibly repressed this laugh…because Qin Yu’s eyes were earnest, and he could sense a clear existential threat within his gaze.

It was imposing and aggressive, like a cold and sharp blade pointed at him. The chill had already invaded his mind before it touched his skin.

With this sort of feeling King Mystery had no choice but to reconsider whether killing Shadowless Demon was worth it. While Qin Yu’s strength alone might not be much, this fact alone proved he had the qualifications to plot against a True King.

He and that old dragon Ao Fa had fallen into the ancestral land. Even though he hated him to the point of clenching his jaws, he could only patiently endure it. This was an indisputable truth.

After living long enough, one would experience enough things. And after experiencing enough things, one would develop a thick skin.

In normal circumstances, the length of time one survived was proportional to the thickness of their skin…in other words, King Mystery’s skin was extremely thick.

A True King’s dignity could not be provoked, but this also depended on who the target was. If Shadowless Demon was only Shadowless Demon, then killing him was just killing him. It wouldn’t be considered anything at all.

But with Qin Yu standing up for him, that was different…this situation served to emphasize one important point. Whether or not one had a backer was an immense difference!

Cough cough…of course, King Mystery likely never expected that Qin Yu would threaten a True King over someone like Shadowless Demon.

“Cough…I was just joking, little friend Qin Yu doesn’t need to take it so seriously.” King Mystery calmly said, all of his previous killing intent gone. “But since I have come here, I ask little friend to remove this person from my purgatory.”

This was the advantage of being sufficiently thick-skinned. When changing his mind, there was no need for embarrassment or awkwardness, it seemed clear and natural.

Qin Yu shook his head. “Shadowless Demon can only temporarily be kept in your purgatory. I cannot explain the exact reason, but I ask King Mystery to rest assured. Once we leave the Nightmare Ancestral Land, I will take him away.”

The refusal was neat and simple. Without even an explanation, it was easily dodged. To act in such a manner when facing a solemn True King, this was the definition of impoliteness.

King Mystery’s skin was thick enough, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t concerned about face at all. At this moment his eyes twitched and his complexion darkened.

But the more Qin Yu didn’t give him face, the less reckless he was willing to act. To describe it simply…he was being shameless without regard for his dignity!

His eyes clouded further. After hesitating over it, he said, “Good, I hope that little friend Qin Yu is a man of his word!”

Elder Ao Fa suddenly said, “Stop wasting time. Since we’ve all come to a decision, let’s begin.”

He licked his lips, his eyes brightening. He was indeed angry that he had been dragged into the Nightmare Ancestral Land and wished that he could tear Qin Yu into pieces.

But now that he directly faced the Shadow of Betrayal, he couldn’t repress the excitement surging in his heart.

Even if this was just a shadow, what it represented was a pure part of the abyss’ source!

By killing it and capturing the abyssal source, he would smoothly be able to become the most formidable Abyssal Demon Dragon.

He would even have the qualifications to attack the legendary Dark Holy Dragon boundary, becoming a true part of the abyss’ will.

Old Turtle’s face paled. He screamed, “You are all insolent! Do you really think my existence is something the likes of you can offend!?”

He lifted a hand. At this moment, the entire Nightmare Ancestral Land darkened. Clouds gushed out and wove together, forming a curtain that blocked the skies.

No thunder erupted. There were only black clouds that surged like a rolling tide. Even though they shook, no sounds were emitted.

But it was exactly this silence that released an even greater oppression. It seemed that everything in range of it would be destroyed!

This was a shadow that could defy the will of the abyss. It was a shadow that struggled to survive in a closed off environment, which had managed to split off smaller shadows that controlled the entire Nightmare Clan until this day…of course it couldn’t be regarded as an ordinary shadow.

In the past, it was said that if fear of death was divided into ranks, Old Turtle would be at the top.

But if the shadows of past and present were also ranked, he would be the absolute leader amongst them!

Ao Fa and King Mystery’s complexions changed at the same time. At this moment, they felt an incomparably formidable oppression. Even the hearts within their chests started to slow down.

The circulation of demonic energy in their bodies stagnated, and their perception of the outside world blurred…it was like they were wrapped in thick layers of packaging. More and more layers entangled them, and even breathing became difficult.

This was…the might of the abyss’ will!

Although Old Turtle couldn’t even reach 1% of its strength, it actually formed an immense suppressive force on them.

King Mystery roared, “Little friend Qin Yu, if you don’t have a way of suppressing the Shadow of Betrayal’s aura, we will all die here!”

Ao Fa was silent. Being suppressed by the Shadow of Betrayal was dangerous, but the situation wouldn’t completely collapse for the time being.

But he also wanted to know what Qin Yu’s card was…or to be more exact, he wanted to know whether or not this junior had the qualifications to collaborate with them.

He and King Mystery were both genuine Abyssal True Kings. This in itself was proof of their strength.

But Qin Yu lacked such a proof.

To put it more bluntly, Ao Fa and King Mystery would adjust their attitudes and mindsets, and even what they did next, based on Qin Yu’s following performance.

If Qin Yu really had the qualifications to fight shoulder to shoulder with them, then he would certainly have a part in the final harvest of benefits.

Otherwise…of course it was ‘hohoho’. If he was arrogant to such a degree and yet didn’t have the strength to protect himself, his eventual fate would be to meet with a cruel death!

Deep within the pitch black eyes of the Abyssal Titan, the great sun released endless blinding light. A deep roar came from Qin Yu’s mouth that reverberated in the air, “Of course. I will help you both so that we can achieve our common interests.”

He lifted a hand and slowly reached towards the skies. His five fingers spread out and abruptly clenched together.

In an instant, a heaven-shaking explosion erupted. A terrifying impact of strength blew out, shaking apart the black clouds that wove together in the skies.

“Ahh!” Old Turtle screamed in anger, unable to conceal the pain on his face. He glared at Qin Yu, his eyes flooded with hatred and fear, “Who are you? Just who are you!?”

As a shadow of the abyss, he was certainly familiar with all strengths within the abyss. But this power that tore his suppression to shreds was an entirely different strength.

It was boundless and bright, emitting an inexhaustible dignity. It swelled forth like a mighty wave that tore down everything in its path!

The complexions of Ao Fa and King Mystery changed. Their pupils shrank as dread appeared on their faces.

Qin Yu could actually release such a formidable aura. It wasn’t an absolute strength, but it was even more awe-inspiring than pure strength.

Because this sort of aura represented a higher level.

Breaking the suppression of the Shadow of Betrayal meant that Qin Yu’s attack represented a will of the same level!

The Shadow of Betrayal roared in anger and asked who Qin Yu actually was. In fact, this was also what Ao Fa and King Mystery wanted to know the most right now.

But there was one point that was without doubt. Qin Yu indeed had the qualifications to collaborate with them…he even had a slight advantage.

The reason ‘slight’ was used was because there should be a limit to the aura that Qin Yu released.

Otherwise, he should have been able to eliminate the Shadow of Betrayal by himself…after all, a shadow was just a shadow. If he could get rid of the suppression from the will of the abyss’ source aura, then its true strength wouldn’t be that great.

Yet Qin Yu had taken the trouble to drag them into the Nightmare Ancestral Land. From this, it proved that there was a limit to his aura.

If not for that, so what if they were two great Abyssal True Kings? After being suppressed by an aura on the same level as the abyss’ will, they could only end up being freely slaughtered.

Qin Yu roared, “True Kings, I cannot maintain this for long! Please attack!”

Ao Fa and King Mystery took a deep breath. They simultaneously stepped forward without hesitation.

Bang –

Bang –

Their bodies began to inflate at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into giants with the same height as the Shadow of Betrayal.

This was the True King Form that an Abyssal True King could control after obtaining the approval of the abyss’ will and fusing with their body’s own bloodline.

This was the strongest state of an Abyssal True King and also the most vulnerable state of an Abyssal True King…if the True King Form was injured, their bloodline would suffer losses. And once a certain limit was crossed, their bloodline would collapse and even their True King boundary would break!

Ao Fa and King Mystery displaying the True King Form without hesitation indicated that they were planning on going all out from the start.

Of course, this was also a show of strength. It was to inform Qin Yu that a True King was still a True King!

Even if he wielded some extremely terrifying aura that was on par with the abyss’ will, he shouldn’t develop undesired thoughts towards them.

Otherwise, if two True Kings worked together and erupted with their full power, he might not be able to withstand the consequences!

It couldn’t help but be said that two dignified Abyssal True Kings, especially Ao Fa and King Mystery who were famous even amongst the True King boundary, had fallen to the point where they had to make a show of strength to a Demon Commander junior to ensure their safety.

This was a truly shameful matter.
